HEALTH NEEDFUL

to happiness. Well might the
greatest and wisest Man that
ever lived teach US to pray,
"Give us this day our daily
bread" The hands, with which
we do so many cunning and
skillful things, the eyes that re-
veal to us all the sun shines on,
the hearts which beat within
our breasts, were once merely
the yet uneaten food upon ouri
plates. What a strange, what al
wonderful transformation ! The
body builds ITSELF No other ma
chine can do so. Yet when the
wear and tear becomes greater
than the process of repair we
grow weak and waste away. If
we could keep the loss and the
gain balanced, or nearly so, we
should live long and be able to
work and enjoy ourselves all the
time. The opposite condition
we call sickness or disease. To
keep the wheel turning, to pre-
vent permanent loss of flesh and
power, is the aim of that ever
successful remedy known as
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION

The Planters Monthly for March
contains a valuable article by R. G. L.
Perkins upon the relations of birds to
insect life in Hawaii, showing how
certain birds are valuable pest de-
stroyers; while others are destroyers OF
harmless insects which in turn destroy
insects dangerous to plant life. 1t
should be read by every one interested
in agriculture in Hawaii, as intelligent
action on the lines suggested by Mr..
Perkins is vital to agriculture in this
Territory.

Flowering plants have been shown by Dr. Fl.
T. Brown and Mr.. F. Escombe to be very nicely
adjusted to an atmosphere containing parts of
carbon dioxide in 10000. A slight increase of
the carbon dioxide proved surprisingly unfa-
vorable to growth and reproduction, and the
experiments made it evident that an increase to
two or three times the present amount would
result in the speedy destruction of all flower
ing plants. If the airs composition has greatly
varied since the advent of the plants, the change
must have been slow.

at the roots of teeth is treated
by electric rays by DR.. Strebel, of Munich. A
powerful electric light is focused upon the
bony cavities of the jaw, setting up irritation,
increasing to violent Inflammation, and layer
of tissue comes away. The suppuration ceases,
the looseness of the tooth disappearing. The
operation is difficult, but is reported to have
been successfully tested in fourteen cases.

Balloon photography as a means of military
map-making is being developed by Rev. j. NJ.
Baker, the English aeronaut. He uses a small
balloon, and, to avoid the trouble and expense
of hydrogen. this is quickly inflated by hot air
from a petroleum heater. small automatic
camera is carried. In recent trial the ascent
was made In two minutes after beginning to in
fate the balloon, and as everything is so simple
and easily portable it is predicted that the sys-
tenn will revolutionize army observations.

Asiatic volcanoes are gaining reputation for
spuriousness. A lately reported eruption in
mountain near Irkutsk, in Siberia, has been in
vestigated, and has proven to be nothing more
serious than fire-probably due to spontaneous
combustion-in some beds of carbonaceous shale.
Like cases are not uncommon. Lists of volca-
noes in the Than Shan chain have been COM
piled by some authorities. but recent Russian
travellers have shown that none of the volca-
noes exist.

Appendicitis may be traced back to the Egyp-
tians under the Pharaohs, if the conclusions of
NJ Lannelongue are to be accepted. 1t was long
confused with various intestinal, kidney and
other diseases, and hospital statistics indicate
that cases of appendicitis are no more numerous
than when they passed as acute peritonitis of
unknown origin. The disease is due to microbes
from various sources. One investigator has
found intestinal worms in IS per cent of the
cases examined. and it is suggested that the
worms introduced the germs on their bodies.

A Game Law Abslirdity

One of the absurd things about
our game law is the provision as
to the salary of the warden. 1t
begins only with the opening of
the season. The month pre-
ceeding the open season is the
one during which the most effect
i've work could be done toward
protecting game. The law seems
to be framed with the idea that
he has no duty to perform during
that time as no pay is provided
for. Still, Notwithstanding this
statutory absurdity, GameW arden
Anderson of this county is on the
alert to catch violators of the law,
and the would-be offenders Will
be wise to be careful.

Preacher Becomes Millionaire.

A millionaire preacher is cutting
quite a swath in New York just
now. He is Rev. M. F.. Mason who
within six months was in charge
of a church in Ogden, u. Last
September Captain Henry K. Law
renee, a miner and prospector, was
taken i'll while in that city Mr..
Mason nursed him back to health
and the Captain, out of gratitude,
gave his preserver a bunch of min
ing stock. 1t had little or no value
then, but about Christmas time was
discovered to be worth a great deal
of money, the mines having devel-
oped suddenly. The preacher has
refused millions for his stock. He
has resigned his pastorate and is
now off to see the world.

Alaska and the Salad.

AT a recent function in Was!lir' =
ton John w. Foster, the d pIona!
end ex-secretary of stat, was sen:
BY Mrs. Foster to get her some
salad. He procured plate of the
dainty and was returning with it
when some one asked him a ques-
tion about the Alaska boundary.
Mr.. Foster has fad on that sub
ject. He began to talk earnestly.
Then he gesticulated. The result
was that the salad slid gracefully
off the plate and landed full on
the front breadth of Mrs. Fosters
magnificent dress. The conversa-
ton about the Alaskan boundary
ended right there. Mr.. Foster had
more serious things to think about.
