WINTER AND HEALTH.
Value of Cold as Tonic to Repair tn,
 Injuries Of Summer.

Value Of Cold as Tonic to Repair the
 Injuries Of Summer.
 Many persons regard the winter sea- son as an unfortunate visitation. It is considered both uncomfortable to the body and harmful to health. This fs an error. Cold is a most potent agent for the restoration and preservation of normal activity on the part of the or gans of the human body IL is a wise plan of Providence which gives us n change of seasons. The winter cold comes as a tonic to repair the injuries done by the eneryating heat of sum- mer. Summer, it is true, has many wise uses in the matter of health. It induces outdoor life rids the system of potsons through copious perspiration, and through the scorching rays of the sun destroys germ life. Winter is the great CT bracer of the system. It stimulates activity in every organ. When cold attacks the surface of the body, the blood is set into more free circulation as a means of bodily warmth. It is through the circulation of the blood that the human anatomy is kept in a state of repair When the food has been digested and converted into liq- uid form, it Is taken tip by the blood and carried the rounds of the system for the purpose of repairing the waste places. When the cold causes increased circulation, it also brings about more perfect nutrition. Through the excess sfYez demand for nutrient matter which Quickened circulation causes there is improved digestion. The entire repair machinery is stimulated to renewed in dustry. The wintry air, as is well known, brings with it a sense of re- newed strength and vitality. The re- storative power of cold is well illus trated in the case of the dash of cold water in the face of a fainting person. When a person is in faint there is a practical suspense of life for the time, yet an application of cold water to the face promptly restores circulation and renews life. This same fact is illus trated by the cold face bath on rising from bed in the morning. The Indians who, if not now, in former days roamed our western borders. practically with out clothing to shelter their bodies. be- came, through long exposure. so inured to the cold that it gave them but Httls Glseomfort,-6t.

The little girl is in precarious condition and surgical operation will be neces- sary to remove the timepiece. The little girl swallowed the watch while playing in the parIor of her home.

In moe ea.z an move like an acrobat, cr0s- 4sender and slippery logs. elimb..s trees. or passing with ease and security along dizzy trails on the mountain side where slip might mean sure destruction. The feet do not stick fast in the mud. fn the north, where the mercury is far below zero and no civilized boot will protect the feet from freezing, the savage suffers no in convenience. His moccasirs, stuffed with dried grass, let the blood course freely. The precipitation may freeze OH the hay in solid lump of ice. but the feet remain warm and dry. The buck skin moccasin, Indian tanned with deer's brains and wood smoke, always drys soft after Wetting. In autumn, when all the leaves and tWigs are dry as finder, man wearing shoes makes noise in the forest like troop of cavalry, but in moecasins he can move swiftly through the woods with the stealth or panther. The feet are not bruised, for after enjoying for time the freedom of natural covering, these hitherto blundering members become like hands, and feel their way through the dark like those of a cat, avoiding obstacles as though gifted with a spe- eial sense. Best of all, the moccasin is light. Inexperienced sportsmen and soldiers affect high-topped laced boots with heavy soles and hobnails imag- ming that these are most sefyieeable for rough weather. But these boots weigh between four and five pounds. while a pair of thick moosehide moe
 casins weigh only eleven ounces. In marching ten miles man wearing the clumsy boots lifts twenty tons more shoe leather than if he wore moccasins.

GLAZE. DIAPER.
Held as the Cause for the Alarming Tn.
 crease in Near-Sightedness.

crease in Near-Sightedness.
 According to 8 certain number of German ophthalmologists. the use of glazed paper has prejudieial effect upon the eyesight. There lies the cause. they say, of the continuous in crease Of myopia during the last fifty years. Formerly a dull, grayish paper of coarse texture was used. Now the paper has a smooth. brilliant surface. with luminous reflections that were abe sent from the rough surface of the old paper. In old books a soft light easily brought out in relief the characters, which were printed in heavier, blaeker type. Now, with the glazed surface, the light is all the more reflected, be cause the characters themselves are finer and less pronounced, thus giving rise to a play of light and shade that is most fatiguing t9 the eyes. To prove this it suffices to take an old edition of the magazines printed ar tistically and compare the effects pro- dueed on the eyes after half an hours reading. For this reason hygienists recommend the avoidance of glazed or highly polished paper in schools. The paper should be of a grayish ol blueish tinge, In any case it should not be white. and never brilliant.

HANGED FOR BURNING COAL.
Strange law Which Was in foreo in
 England in 1900.

England in 1900.
 There will be an interesting function in London shortly. when the coal ex- change celebrates It's jubilee. The oeea- sion Is one for recalling strange remi- aiseenees; for as late as the four teenth century a prohibition was issued against the burning of coal, with se- we're penalties deereed against any per- son who warmed his house by coal fire. In the early days of Lord Mayor Vhtttingt0n the burning or coal was considered SO great a public nuisance that it was made a capital effense, and enc man was actually hanged Tor h. judging in a coal fire. As matter or fact, this ordinance was never re- peaIed. but in Dick Wilmington third mayoralty 1t is evident there was a great trade in coal, and the sugges- ton has been made that coal was brought to London in boats known as the "cats," this was the real origin ot the story of Dick Wilmington and his cat. The coal exchange, however, Is a modern institution. It is also one of the most important of Londou's marts. Under the shadow of it's domed roof commercial transactions are daily car ried through of greater value than In connection with any other mercantile building in the world. Unlike the corn exchange in Mark lane, it is not pri- vate concern, but is city market con- ducted on the same principles as the other markets opened by the city cor poration Opened with much ceremony in October, 1849. by the prince eonsort, the present building is just about to celebrate it's jubilee. But the market itself is older than the building. Up to 1907 it was in the hands of private individuals. putin that year it was purchased by the corporation for e25.- 600.-London Times.

cussion of the plans for the manage
ment Of the club was held. The general
opinion expressed was for the appoint
ment by the mayor of a board OF man

ties so that the board would be absolute
ly non-partisan in character. The mem
bers to be appointed for one, two and

Of the selection of librarian was dis
cussed and the opinion was expressed
that Mrs. Selwyn Douglas be induced TO
take the position, for the first year ct
least. The city is to pay TO the support
of the library $500 per year This
amount will not pay the expenses of
keeping the building and the necessary
printing and other expenses and leave a
very large sum for the purchase Of books
There must be several library aid So
cieties that will assist IN raising money
to be spent by the board of managers in
the purchase of books in order that the
library can reach a point of excellence in
the shortest possible time.

Finds Himself JObless.

Guthrie o. T., Sept. 26.-The Democrat
ic opponents Of fusion in Oklahoma coun-
ty who are unfortunate enough to hold
an appointive Office are being made to
feel the heavy hand Of the political OPP
pressor. A dispatch from Oklahoma City
says: At a meeting Of the city council
last night the office of sidewalk inspect
or was abolished and the duties hitherto
performed by that officer were added TO
those of the street commissioner. This
action on the part Of the council was
not only in the interest of public econ
omy and retrenchment, but it was also
in the nature of a partisan punishment
OF the deposed officer, w. H. Sampey.
The office of sidewalk inspector which
was somewhat of a sinecure, was created
at the beginning of the present city adj
ministration, especially to reward Sam
pey for his party services. Last week
Sampey was one Of the most prominent
and active participants in the straight
OUT or anti-fusion Democratic county
convention, and now he is made to feel
the weight of official displeasure.
