the price of potatoes was up,
up so high that a man had to

them to a grocer for 40c and
then divided the money with
the notorious Tim Sanders. AS

Children Derive Many Traits from Their
PARKWAY Ancestry.
No two children. even in the same
household, are alike. Twins, born in
the same hour, and externally bearing
lineaments which possess such close
resemblance that strangers do not
know the little ones apart, are often
very dissimilar in disposition and
mental traits. Who can tell what pc
culiarities. derived from some fara-
way ancestor-a little child has inher-
tied? This wee maiden, unlike either
parent. may be repeating in her tenn
permanent. her looks, and her ways
great-grandmother long since van
ished from the earth. Each mother
for each child needs to make a special
study. and she need not be surprised
to find herself so often baffied and at
her wits end to solve certain prob
lens, and to manage in certain un-
looked for contingencies. If she will
take the trouble to keep a record of
her children. setting down in a jour
nal day by day the interesting Incl
dents. the small happenings, and the
conclusions at which she arrives. she
may be able by-and-by to assist other
puzzled mothers. OF one thing the
mother may be very sure, and that is
that time is well spent which is de-
voted to the Intelligent understanding
of what is really for her child's good.
The little one whose life is ruled
according to fixed hours, who is cared
for wisely and nourished on the best
food. who has plenty of sleep. plenty
of fresh air, the right kind of clothing,
is kept free from excitements and dis
turbances, and ensphered in an at
mosphere of tender love. will thrive
and grow. and show in every move
ment the happiness of his environ
mont.

st. Jacobs OIL for che.t-tfde. nron-

An outward application for bron-
chial difficulties is many times far
more effective than syrups, cough mix
it penetrates through to the direct
cause, which is. as rule. an accumn-
lation of matter or growth tightly ad-
hered to the bronchial tubes.
ST. Jacobs Oil. possessing as it does
those wonderful penetrating powers,
enables it to loosen these adhesions
and to induce free expectoration Cases
have been known where expectorations
have been examined after st. Jacobs
Oil has been applied. and the exact
formation was clearly shown, where
the adhesions had been removed or
pulled off the bronchial tubes. All ir-
ritation of the delicate mucous mem
brane of the bronchR is quickly re-
moved by the healing and soothing
properties of st. Jacobs Oil. In cases
OF croop and whooping cough in chill
dren st. Jacobs Oil will be found su-
perior to any other remedy.
St Jacobs Oil is for sale throughout
the world. 1t is clean to use-not Mt

Another disaster, similar to that
which occurred two years ago. has be-
fallen the Welsh colonist in Patagonia
The River Gamwy has once again
overfowed its banks. The harvest had
not been gathered, and the people had
to fly to the mountains. BY a great
effort the embankment on the north
ern side of the valley has been kept In
tact. Lower down the river flooded
over many farms. The place was like
n sea; the embankment had to be bro
ken down to allow the water to go
back into the river. and it ebbed
gradually. At Gaiman great efforts
were made to safeguard the houses.
but the river rose higher than it did
two years ago. and flooded three-uuar-
ters of the whole valley. Only three
houses are reported to have collapsed
In this locality. but the whole of the
years crops are practically ruined.
The colonists have held a meeting.
asking the Argentine government to
grant them land on the hills on each
side Of the valley. where they. could
escape in case of need. 1t was also
resolved to ask the government to
relieve those who are in need, to as
sist the colonists generally in making
good the damage. and to take measures
to protect them against further floods.
The breaches in the embankment are
being filled up. but good many colo
nists declare that they will emigrate to
Canada.

1t is noteworthy that of the men and

of Who's Who in America" fifty-nine
per cent of those whose education is

although college graduates are barely
one in a hundred of the total popula-
ton. they number about one-half of
those who have attained distinction.
