The Lause OF Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect of ones
own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
theywill soon pass of, and it is only
when a case of full-fedged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences
that neglect are fully realized. AS
preventive and positive cure for Coughs
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting of blood
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages OF consumption, use Eilert'J Ex-
tract of Tar and Wild Cherry, and Tor
sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Dys-
pepsia, Nervousness and all Bilious
Complaints, use Eilert's Daylight Liver
Pills. Both are guaranteed.

Indiana Zinc Mining.

DELPHI, Ind, March 19.-Develop-
ments Thursday at the shaft being sunk
at Rockfeld, this county, are such as to
indicate rich deposits of zinc ore, and in
terest manifested i'll the project is very
great. The company was formed sew
eral days ago to prospect, and this shaft
is result. The company is headed by
Senator A. R. Shroyer and G. H. Stew
ems. of Logansport, and Hon. Charles
Harley and the firm of Lands q Rick
etts, of this city. A number of capital
lists interested in zinc mines elsewhere
have been here, and all pronounce the
indications thus far such as give promise
of rich and valuable deposits. The com
pany has leases on thousand acres, and
arrangements are being made to sink
several additional shafts. Experts state
that the ore compares favorably with
the richest found in the celebrated zinc
mines of Missouri.

being out of the current of small talk.

Some years ago a man took Il book out

often had looks from the library before,
and had always returned them promptly
"But this book the man took with him

on which the man Travelled was wrecked
just before he reached the city and he was
very badly hurt
"They brought him to the hospital and
he was unconscious for a long time. When

The postollice of San Francisco in 1916
was a frame building of one story and N
attic on the corner of Clay and Pike streets
There was but small accommodation he-e
for clerks and handlers, and still less fol
the impatier and peremptory crowd OF
home hungry men who came daily, bat
most of all on mail day, which was once a
month, and took the small windows and
loopholes by storm. To avoid confusion
and dangerous conflict, long cues were
formed, extending from the windows along
Clay street to the Plaza, and along Pike
street sometimes us far as Sacramento, and
even to the chaparral beyond. Here trad
ers miners, merchants, gamblers and adj
venturers of every complexion waited in
their places often from the afternoon OF
one day, all night long, to the morning OF
the next, in the mud and the soaking rain,
with weary limbs and anxious hearts,
Men whose strength was unequal to the
strain were glad to employ others to hold
their places for them through the long
hours and there were those who, while
not seeking or expecting letters for them
selves, secured good standings in the line
before the coming of the crowd, only tC
sci! their right of place to richer men whose
time was money. From ten TO twenty de-
lars was a common price for such service.

SECRETARY FOSTER.
He is the Principal Speaker at a Banquet
in New York.

New York, March 19.-The principal
speaker at the banquet of the Friendly
Sons of st. Patrick Thursday night was
Secretary Foster. In his opening re-
marks he caused great laughter by say
ing that he had been warned not to
make any explanation about flannel
mouthed Irishmen."
He then discussed treasury affairs,
and said that he felt gratifed that the
talk about a bankrupt treasury and the
works of billion-dollar congress had
not prevented an increase in the gold
deposits in the treasury.
He concluded his remarks with this
tribute to the Irish race. 1--WE are in
debted to the Irishmen for the building
of our canals and railroads in the past,
and now we are indebted to them for
the government of our cities"
When Secretary Foster finished, Mr..
Sanders asked: "Did you ever use the
phrase fannel-mouthed Irishmen?
mo-" replied the secretary, and then
the assemblage broke forth in prolonged
applause.

An Easy Way of Hurrying the Fire.

IF fire does not burn well, says the
old household superstition, land you want
1t to draw, you should set the poker across
the top bar of the CRATE" This is sup
posed to placate the gnomes, whom it was
formerly believed were very jealous of the
robbery of their underground country OF
its coal treasures, and were very apt to
take their vengeance out in preventing the
fire from burning. 1t was the mystic form
of the cross thus made which was supposed
TO drive them away. Nevertheless it
would not do to use the shovel in this
charm, or tLe fire would be sure to go out,
1t would be possibly a happy thing if all
housekeepers who fail to make their fires
burn could attribute it to the witches OF
the chimney, to the gnomes of the lower
world, or to some household fairy who had
cast spell over the house. But there are
no gnomes, fairies or witches now to inter
fere with the ire-if only the hampers are
right and some judgment eAercised.-New
York Tribune.
