TONERS aver that the county seat re

many people believing it to be Illegal
did not vote. and consequently the sup

votes to secure the removal of the

Mirrors.

The first record concerning mirrors
dates back to the days of the venerable
Moses, and they were made of brass.
When the Spaniards landed in South
America they found mirrors of polished
black stone in use among the natives.
In the fifteenth century the first glass
mirrors were made in Germany by
blowpipe. and were convex. The first
mandatory of glass mirrors for sale
was established in Venice early in the
sixteenth century. In the reign of
James l. men, women and children
wore looking glasses publicly, the men
as brooches or ornaments in their hats
and the women at their girdles or on
their bOSoms.

the Illinois commission will advertise
for new bids, which will be opened at
p. IN. Aug. 81 at st. Louis.
With the changes made, it is believ-
ed the building can be completed for

ton purposes. The dome is lowered
considerably and the third story cen
ter pavilion taken out entirely.
The changes will not affect the
general character or appearances of
the building, which is designed on the
French renaissance style. The struc-
ture will be 22O feet long. so feet wide.

Our INSTINCT TO CHEW.
1t daniIests Itself In Numerous and
Curious WINS

Curious Ways.
Seeing that the maXillary apparatus
of man has for long ages past been put
to vigorous use, it is not surprising that
the need to exercise 1t should express
itself as powerful instinct. This in
stinct manifests itself in many and
curious ways. During the early months
of life the natural function of feeding
Mt the breast provides the infants
jaws, tongue and lips with all the need
full exercise. This bottle feeding fails
to do, and we frequently find bottle fed
children seeking to satisfy the natural
instinct by sucking their thumbs, fin
gers or any convenient object at hand.
The teeth are provision for biting
hard foods, but even before they actu-
ally appear we find the child seeking
TO exercise his tOothless gums on any
hard substance he can lay hold of, and
there can be no doubt that exercise of
this Kind tends TO facilitate the erup-
ton of the teeth. truth indeed recOg-
nized universally, whether by the prin-
tive mother who strings the tooth of
some wild animal round the neck of
her infant or the up TO date parent
who provides her child with a bejewel-
ed ivory or coral bauble.
When the teeth have erupted. the
masticatOry instinct finds among primi-
tive peoples abundant satisfaction in
the chewing of the coarse, hard foods
which constitute their dietary; but
among us mOderns, subsisting. as we
do. mainly on soft foods, affording but
little exercise for the masticatory ap-
paratuS, it does not find its proper eX-
preston, and thus tends to die out
Nevertheless it dies a hard death and
long continues to assert itself Witness
the tendency of children to bite their
pencils and penhOlders. l have known
child to gnaw through a bone pen
carnivOrOus animal gnaws ut n bone.
This instinct to chew for chewing's
sake manifests itself all over the world.
In our own country not only do chill
dren bite pencils and penholders, but
they. will chew small pieces of india
rubber for hours together. The prac-
tice of gum chewing, so common among
our American cousins, evidently comes
| down from faroff times. for the primi-
tive Australians chew several kinds of
gum, attributinC 10 them nutrient
qualities. and the Patngonians are said
to keep their teeth white and clean by
chewing mairi. Il gum which eXudes

Letters from
Women

Cured by the use of Kodol are received daily.
Their troubles nearly all begin with indiges-
ton or other stomach disorder.
If the food you eat fails to give strength
to your body. it is because the juices Sc
creted by the stomach and digestive organs
are inadequate to transform the nutrient prop
critics of the food into blood. That is
indigestion. The system is deprived of the
amount of nourishment required TO keep up
the strength, and the result is that one or
more of the delicate organs gradually grows
weak, and then weaker, until finally II is
diseased. Here a great mistake is made.

Polishing Rice.

The Japanese and other rice eating
nations do not polish the grain. except
for export In American mills the out
side coating of the rice kernel is rubbed
off. The outer husk and the bran just
within it are removed, and then the
kernel is rubbed to remove the rough
protein surface. This is called polish
ing. and the process not only removes
one of the most nutritious substances
in all cereals, but deprives the grain OF
about three-fourths of its flavor.
