RECREATION AZ HEALrH.
Both Can BE Secured at the Indiana 1Iin-

10th Can BE Secured at the Indiana Min

Like the young man in %springtime,
whose fancy lightly turns to thoughts
Of love" when summertime comes we
all turn our thoughts to the consider
alton Of the important question Of
where we shall go for rest, recreation
n health.
There are all kinds Of health and
pleasure resorts throughout this broad
land of ours, some OF them, unfortu-
nately, anything but what their names
Imply, and apparently operated for no
other purpose han to relieve the in
valid and pleasure seeker, financial
ly. So much so Is this the case that
it is indeed gratifying to the one seek
ing rest and recuperation from the
cares Of the business and social world,
as well as the pain racked invalid,
who is fortunate enough to discover a
place where to use a popular express
sion, he gets his moneys worth"
One OF the most interesting. pictur-
esque and delightful places in this
country is unquestionably the resort
known as the Magno Mud and Lithia
Water Cure, located at Indiana Nine
raj Springs. Indiana. Here come the
overworked business man, the worn
out devotee Of society and the proGes-
SIGNAL man on the verge OF nervous
prostration, as well as the sufferer
from rheumatism, kidney and skin
diseases for which the baths are es-
pecially beneficial. The place is also
largely patronized by those who only
seek pleasure and recreation, its loca-
ton making 1t particularly adapted for
this purpose. There are many roman
tic and beautiful spots and places OF
interest In the vicinity and It would
be hard to find a section OF country
containing so many beautiful drives.
The country is very hilly, but the
roads are all griveled and kept In
good condition. Tnis ls one OF the
things that makes the place especially
attractive to those afflicted with rheu-
matism, as driving is about the only
outdoor pleasure q crippled with
rheumatism can indulge In. Some OF
the cures effected are really marvel
nj and many who have gono to the
Magno Mud Cure as a last resort have
returned home within a few weeks
filled with renewed health and
strength.
The accommodations, service. table
and attendance is all that can be de-
sired and the rates very reasonable

10 Lives During Drought by Stealing Wa
ter From other Trees.

II Lives During Drought by stealing W..
ter From other Trees.
The eucalyptus tree. which grows ev-
erywhere in southern California. IS well
adapted to n dry climate, because & is
able TO live without rain. This quail
~ IS due to It's ability to appropriate to
itself, through IS roots. all the mOls-
ture IN the soil within a wide radius.
An illustration of this IS cited by the
owner Of an orange orchard. He no
ticed that the orange trees along the
edge Of the orchard, which stood thirty
feet from a row Of eucalyptus trees. did
not grow well. Extra allowances Of
water and dressing had no improving
effect. Finally he dug down beside the
orange trees and found a network Of
roots coming from the eucalyptus
trees. They were absorbing the water
that belonged to the orange trees. The
orchardist t%hereupon dug a trench the
whole length of the row and chopped
on all the eucalyptus roots that he en-
countered. For a year the orange
trees did finely. Then the eucalyptus
roots, having grown out again, caused
the orange trees to suffer for water.
The owner %thereupon cut the eucalyP
tus trees down.

terncon, and the fellow begged release

of catching a deer had taken hold Of
him. He was excused on condition
that the deer be brought entire to the
ranch, and two hours later he was seen
driving in a f%ull-grown buck. On ap-
preaching the dwelling quarters the
terrified animal turned this way and
