How the Animal knew the Purpose
Of the Toilet Article Partially
Explained.

In a spirit Of abandon David c.
Walker, custodian of Lords park in
Elgin, H., threw an old tooth brush
i..to the monkey cage at the park
the other day, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean. His astonishment be-
came amazement when on visit
ing the monkey cage he discov-
cred the entire family Of monkeys
gathered around "Jocko," the largest
monkey in the cage who was in the
act of vigorously applying the almost
hairless brush to his irregular teeth
and red gums to the amusement of the
entire monkey population who chat
tered and gesticulated in wild man
ner as Walker approached.
Custodian Walker said that the as
peet Of the monkey brushing its teeth
was the most remarkable that has ever
been brought to his notice in his long
service as animal-keeper and custodian
of the park. He is al loss to account
for the monkeys apparent knowledge
Of the usage to which a brush Of this
kind is ordinarily put. but offers the
suggestion that the little animal might
have witnessed an operation in which
tooth brush is used on one of his
visits TO the home Of the custodian at
the park.

THIS COUNTRY HEADS LIST.
Stated on Good Authority That the
United states Leads World In
the Circulation OF Literature.

It is interesting TO learn that the
United States leads the world in the
matter Of circulating literature.
England, strange as it may seem.
comes fourth ia the list. While Italy.
also strangely, stands second. All
the countries Of the old world.
France and Germany notably. have,
of course, collections Of books far ex-
ceeding anything both in point Of
quality and quantity that we have
over here. But abroad the richest
collection IS a collection and noth-
ing more; it is li,tle else than so
much literary dead wood. lying idle
on its shelves, as il does, and neither
iruciifging nor illumining. In the
United States the poorest handful Of
books IS turned to account many
times over. 1t is put IN circulation
until 6lousands have the opportunity
to profit by IT, The greatest of mas
terpieces never ye- did anybodv any
good by standing idle on shelf Give
the most unpretcn ioUs volume the
chance, and it canuct fail to quicken
thought. This IS the secret the United
States has learned, and that is why
It's few books do 20 times the good
Of the Oh worlds many books.

Catarrh usually starts with a cold in
the head and if left unchecked in this
climate, rarely gets well of itself.
AS fresh cold is taken the disease
spreads. getting deeper and deeper,
creeping along the mucous membranes
from nose to throat, from throat to wind
pipe. from windpipe to bronchial tubes
and from bronchial tubes to lung cells.
The mucous membranes all connect,
one with another Hence it is easy to
spread from one part to another lined
with this same membf ane. This is why
catarrh in the head soon affects the
throat and finally the stomach itself.
bringing on chronic catarrh of the stom-
ach. which is most obstinate form Of
dyspepsia
Everybody is now we'll agreed that ca
tarrh is a blood disease and not local
one, and the attempt to cure by local APP
plications simply gives temporary relief
from the purely local symptoms without
the remotest effect in staying the pro-
gresS of the disease.
There is a new preparation recently
offered to the public that is apparently
destined to do away with every other
form of catarrh treatment.
This new remedy is not a secret pa
tent medicine, but is a large, pleasant
tasting tablet composed of Blood root,
Red gum from the Eucalyptus tree, and
other valuable AMI harmless specifics,
which are taken internally and seem to
have a remarkably beneficial effect upon
the blood and mucous membranes, ap-
parently eliminating the catarrhal poison
| from the whole system.
These tablets, while being pleasant,
convenient and absolutely safe to use
have made cures in long standing cases
of catarrh that are little short of mar
velous. They are sold by druggists I'M
der name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
and any Catarrh sufferer who has tried
/ nhalers, lotions ointments, salves. etc,
| and realized their inconvenience and use
! IL ssnes viii fully appreciate the differ
! tnce between mec3 palliative and a per-
manent cure after giving Stuart's Catarrh
| Tablets an impartial trial.
All druggists S. them at 80 cents for
| full sized package and no matter where
| the catarrh is located, in the head, throat
/ ungs or stomach, Stusrt'5 Catarrh Tabets
will surprise you with the effective result
| of even a few days use.

A few statements showing how
the entire state was slandered in its
early history will no doubt prove Of
interest to many.
After the war of 1872, an act pas

600 acres to be located in Michigan.
Tbereupon portion of the lower
peninsula was surveyed and during
the progress a deputy United States
surveyor, when surveying Oakland
county, wrote that the land was
springy and indicated a submarine
lake underlying the surface, render
ing it very unsafe for horses and
men. He finished by stating that
the balance Of the state was q vast

swamp, and inasmuch as this was
about as far west as civilization was
ever likely to extend, it would be
useless expenditure of time and
money to proceed any further with
the survey.
Up to then the state was known
-as the "Grcat Desert of the West
and the "Great Black Swamp OF
Michigan" the principal products
being frogs and ague, the timber be-
ing inaccessible, and what of its
population did not starve or die
with malarious diseases, would
freeze to death.
Following the survey, and on Nov.
30, 1915, Edward Tiffin, surveyor
general, in his report to Josiah
Meigs, commissioner OF general land
Office, stated that the land was all
either swampy or barren, sandy
land on which nothing would grow.
He concluded by stating: Taking
the country altogether so far as has
been explored and to all appear
ances, together with Information re-
ceived concurring the balance is as
bad, there would not be more than
one acre out OF a hundred, II there
would be one out OF a thousand, that
