FACTS ABOUT HEALTH

1t is Easy to Keep Well if We Know
How Some of the Conditions Neces-
sary to Perfect Health.
The Importance of maintaining good
health is easily understood, and it is
really simple matter il we take a cor
rect view of the conditions required.
In perfect health TIE stomach promptly
digests food. The blood is employed to
carry nourishment to tn organs, nerves,
muscles and tissues which need it,
The first great essential for coed health,
therefore, is pure, rich blood. No medi
cine has such a record of cures as Hood $
Sarsaparilla and it is because it is the one
true blood purifier. Hundreds OF people
are alive and well today who would have
been in their graves had they not taken
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t is depended upon
as family medicine by thousands.

Some Of Them Are Always Coming
to Grief.
Mr.. Labouchere's sarcastic reference
TO this lowest rank OF the English hered-
itary titled order, "baronets and the
criminal classes" seems so very, very
apt, says . recent London letter in an
exchange. Baronets insist upon going
wrong all the time. There are at least
= half-dozen absolutely disreputable
baronets prowling about the Strand at
this moment. cadging for shillings. free
meals and free drmks- If they can
manage to preserve decent outward
appearance existence is not SO difficult.
Their titles appeal to the man who
has never been on familiar terms with
anything in the shape Of a title before.
But tho delight of knowing "a noble
man" soon passes when the succession
Of small loans and general sponging is
realized. One of the worst of the dis
reputable baronet species now in evil
dence in London, and more or less in
the gutter, is the same man who n few

FAULTY FINAhcIERlNa.

Yailare of . Suddenly Dcviscd Pian
to Save street Car Fare.
There Is o man somewhere on the
South side who knows more about the
theory and practice of finance than he
did a few days ago and all he did to gain
the knowledge was to jump Off u street
car and pick up a nickel which he saw
lying on the street, says the Chicago
Tribune.
Relating the circumstances later to q
friend he said,
"It's funny what fools some men are.
I saw that nickel after had paid my
fare, and my first thought was that If 1
jumped off and picked it up it would
make up for the nickel 1 had already
given the conductor. Having plenty of
time did so. OF course missed the
cat which had originally boarded and
paid my fare. When the conductor
cnme around on the following car
surre3dered my snew-found nickel with
lAserlHA and saAlsfact0ry belsef that my
ride had NOT cost me anything, having
paid for 1t with the nickel I found in the
street.
"Then I began to figure little. The
more I tried to solve the problem IN
mathematics the more deeply became
involved. As an actual fact had to
count my change before l discovered
that I had not only saved n nickel, but
that 1 had contributed ten cents to the
conpany's Golfer and was still nickel
out Of pocket"

Several parties attempted to dis

Huntors.

Kishacoquillas gap is located in the
Tussey,or Seven mountain, range, and is
one of the many breaks through this
wild ciInin of mountains leading from
Pern's valley into Stone valley.
The Seven mountain range is per-
haps tie widest system in the state of
Pennsylvania. More than one ex-
perienccd hunter and woodsman has
lost his way in these mountains, and
spent weary days wandering around
before he found his way to civilization
again, and some even failed to return
to it, and it is the general belief thai
their bones lie bleak and bare in some
dark ravinc of the Tussey range.

The Tintic Mining District lies eighty

in the present year. the greatest mineral

of Tintic ores was In operation 10 the
district and the production of mines
was limited to those ores sufficiently
rich to be shipped to smelters for treat

erection Of immense combination and

producing mines of the district. Four
OF these mills are in active operation,
and three others will undoubtedly be
erected within the next year.
The ores Of Tintic are greatly diversi-

produced arc gold. silver, copper and
lead. In silver production Tintic leads
the state, while in the production Of
gold 1t stands second on the list. Be-

there are some twenty five or more prop
critics that now and in the past have
been producing mines. and to these may
be added score Of others which have
paid for their development by their pro-
