Almonds.

The worlds almond crop, exclusive
west comes from Italy. Sicily. Ma
jorca, Spain, France, Portugal, Mo
rocco and Algiers. The highly priced
Jordan almonds come from Malaga,
Spain, and not from the Jordan river,
as many people suppose The common
almond Is the most indigestible of all
the nuts and contains very little nour-
ishment. There are many ways, how
ever, In which 1t is advantageously
used as II desert or as havoring.
One popularity about the almond tree
is that its leaves contain prussic acid
and are therefore poisonous, while the
fruit may be eaten with lmpunity.

The pitfalls of the English tongue to
n foreigner are many. A Frenchwom-
an who has undertaken housekeeping
In New York thought she had a good
working knowledge Of the language,
but soon discovered her mistake.
One day she called n carpenter and
planned with him to have some work
done about the house in the way Of
putting up shelves. etc. and she went
over the ground with him as carefully
as possible to get from him an estimate
of what 1t would cost.
After the work was done the bill sub
mltted was considerably in excess Of
the sum first named. The Frenchwom-
an endeayored to demonstrate, but only
succeeded In making the following re-
markable statement to him:
you are more dear to me than when
we were first engaged" - New York

five wears old, has always been subject
to Group, aud so bad have the attacks
been that we have feared many times
that he would die We have had the
doctor and used many medicines, but
Cbamberlain's Cough Remedy is now
our sole reliance. 1t seems to dissolve
the tough mucus and by giving frequent
doses when the croupy symptoms ap-
pear we have found that the dreaded

fidently to babe as to an adult. For

Tn. Rirht Arm md Left Foot.

The right arm Is always little lar
ger than the left, but the left foot is
almost always larger than the right,
presumably because while nearly every
man uses his right arm to lift weight
or strike a blow he almost invariably
kicks with his left foot, while the
lounger stands Oh his left leg and lets
his right fall easily, because he has
learned by experience that this is the
best attitude he can assume to prevent
lassltude and fatigue.
This constant bearing of the weight
on the left foot makes 1t wider than
the right, and 1t often happens that
man who tries on ii shoe on the right
foot and gets close fit has to discal /
the shoes altogether because he cannot
endure the pain caused by the tight
ness Of the left. If when riding on
the street car you will take the trouble
to notice, you will see that in laced
shoes the gap Is much smaller on the
right foot than on the left. while with
button shoes the buttons have to be
set back ten times on the left shoe to
once on the right.

The American Anti igaret'e League

Mr. Willis Brown, Field Organizer of

VI. Brown has investigated during the
last two years, large number of public
schools, and has brought to light some
startling facts. Without giving names,
here are some of them: Thiriy-six out
of forty one boys were smoking in one
room. Only nine non smokers in an
other grade Eighty-two per cent were
cigarette users in another school. Only
two out of ffty.three boys were nom
smokers in still another. Out of a hun
dred and ninety eight boys, over eighty
three per cent SMOKED the cigarette in
another. In one whole city it is stated
that more than one half the boys are
habitual cigarette users. What is the
effect of this? 1t stunts the physical,
intellectual and moral growth of those
who use the cigarette. 1t breeds Ger
tain serious diseases. 1t is not only
filthy but it is crime producing. What
is heing done to remedy this evil? An.

Resort TO Old Methods

With the revival of horse thievery
in the western country, so also has
come the resuscitation of capital
punishment for the offense. Thesad-
vance of prices is at the bottom. OF
the whole situation. For years while
the values of horses were low, the
fact apparently acted as a mitiga-
tion of the offense, and it was seldom
that one heard of life being taken as
retributive measure. But now
that they are of sufficient value to be
worth stealing, western owners cal
culate that the punishment shou d
fit the crime, and as we all know the
western idea is rather strenuous.
According to reports from Helena,
yesterday, bad luck was visited pm
three alleged horse thieves in the
vicinity of Judith. Mont, Saturday,
who were known as "Bucking Bill, y
Fred CONNIE and Pete Waller.
They had been pursued by posse
for several days, for appropriating
a bunch of horses, and when found
were strung up to a tree.
