FRIDAY, OCTOBER rs, 1908
ACTION DEFERRED.

AS stated in last weeks paper a
new petition asking for local OPP
tion in the valley was presented to
the Board of Supervisors last
Thursday. Before any action had
been taken on this, and on the
same day, another petition was
was presented asking for local
option election taking in nearly all
the east end of the county and all
of the valley. HIRE was problem
for the Board to solve that prom
ised to be difficult. The last petit
tion covers the same territory and
more, as the first. Both seemed to
be properly drawn and contalned
the required number of signatures.
After considering the matter the
Board concluded that they needed
legal advice before acting and
asked the Districts Attorney for
an opinion as to their course.
This that officer promised rs soon
as he could possibly fnd the time
to give the matter the considera-
tion that such an important ques-
ton requires. AS district court was
in session and will be probably for
two weeks more and the district
attorneys time is all taken up
there, the board concluded the
wisest Course would be to post
pone action until the next regular
meeting, which was done.
The action OF the Board has been
severly criticised by the ultra
prohibitionists. There was even
some talk of asking the court for
a writ of mandamus to compel the
board to act. This, however, will
hardly be done as the Board would
certainly be able to show.the court
sufficient reason for the delay
Of course this delay was a disap-
pointment to those desiring the en-
forcement of local option law but
the conservative ones, who are as
much in earnest for local option
az the radicals, do not crilicise the
Board, believing that it is com
posed of honorable men, who will
do their duty by the entire county,
irrespective of criticism.
The local option question has
resolved itself into one of more
importance than any that has pre-
viously come before the public of
this county. 1t is one that every
citizen is interested in and is be-
ing discussed in every quarter of
the county. Both sides has large
following and the question will not
be allowed much time to slumber
between now and Jan. l. When
it comes to an election it will prob
ably be the most stubborn fight
every witnessed here.
That it will affect business is
beyond question but the prohibit
tionists claim that its enforcement
will increase business, while the
antis claim that it will ruin all
branches of business.
On matter of such grave i'm
portanee we think the Board
should be exceedingly careful in
its action. The matter should be
given due consideration so that
when it comes before the people
for them to vote on, II will be in
such shape that the votes will
count for something, and not mere
ly an election to crafty the am
bitions or prejudices of anyone.
If a sufficient number OF the people
want local option TO carry it at the
polls they ought to have it al d on
the other hand, those opposed to
it should have the same right.
We believe, acting as the repre-
sentatiyes of the entire people of
the county, the Board took this
view and acted upon it.

FOOD, WATER AND AIR.
The Essential Things Out of Which
Blood Is Made.

The Essential Things Out of Which
Blood Is Made.
These are the things out of which
blood is made. If the food is nutri-
tious and properly cooked, if the air is
pure and full of oxygen, if the water
is clean and free from impurities, the
blood will be rich and red and full Of
vitality.
Barring physical accidents, there is
no sickness except that depending di-
rectly upon a want of food or water
or air, sometimes all three, When any
one is sick the presumption is that he
has been trying to subsist on poor
food or vitiated air or bad water, one
or more.
In order to have good food person
ought to have the first eating of it.
Food that has been mussed over and
left by one person is not fit to be eaten
by another.
In order to have good air a person
ought to have the first breathing of it.
Air that has been breathed by other
persons is not fit to breathe again.
Water should be fresh from some
spring or well. If hydrant water must
be used let it run a bit, as the house
pipes are apt to be of lead and not
iron like the pipes that convey the wa
ter through the city.
Food that is relished, air that cools
and invigorates, water that is quaffed
with eager thirst-these are the things
that make blood. Put fresh air into
the lungs, good food and pure water
into the stomach, and nature will do
the rest.-Medical Talk

Ii yoE were living in Ecuador and

hardly get ones sby himself or herself,
but would be compelled to take up with

her husband andtchildren, and perhaps
also her father and mother, into your

dogs and other "live stock" The hus-
band may have some trade which he
follows during the day, but at meal

for 1t, however, because eel costumbre''
has decreed that for every servant you
hire you must expect at least dozen
extra mouths to feed.
Nor is this the worst of 1t. Occasion
ally the cooks relatives from another
village come to pay her visit of fort
night or two-lasting as long as you
will tolerate it-men, women and chill
dren, bringing more dogs, pigs, chick
ems, etc, to be housed and fed. Fortu-
nately, they are not accustomed to
"downy beds of ease' or sumptuous
living. but consider themselves in
clover if plentifully supplied with
beans, corn meal and potato soup, and
will sleep contentedly on the stones of
the patio or the straw of the stable.
The danger Is that some of the stranger
hangers on may not be as honest as
the cook herself is supposed to be, and
cases are known where thieves and
even murderers thus gained admission
to the inside of the casa with disas-
trous results.-Philadelphi Record.

STEALING A DOG.
Sir Edwin Landseer's Experience

With a London Fancier.
Sir Edwin Landseer, the animal
painter, one time was about to put the
finishing touches to the portrait of
dog belonging to a nobleman and was
expecting visit from his model when
the owner arrived In a state of great
perturbation without the dog. The an
imal had been stolen. After talking
over the loss with Sir Edwin the own
er decided to leave the matter in the
painters hands, together with a ten
pound note as a reward for the recov-
cry of the dog
Sir Edwin's acquaintance with the
dog fanciers was large, and he sum-
moned to his aid one Jem Smith, who
he thought might put him on the right
track. He showed the man the picture
and the bank note and promised that if
the dog were restored no questions
should be asked. Six weeks later
Smith arrived at the studio leading the
missing dog by piece of string. Here

The Po,rer of rhonrht

Beware of what you think, for what
you think, quite as much as what you
do, molds your character. Wrong acts
persisted in will wreck any life, but
wrong thoughts have just as sure an
effect. 1t not infrequently happens
that people who live fairly good lives
SO far as their actions go do not feel it
necessary to set so close a guard on
their thoughts. These are hidden, and
of what harm is it to occasionally cher
ish vulgar thought If one does not
allow it to escape in action? OF what
harm to hate if one does not show it?
To imagine oneself committing wrong
acts If one does not actually commit
them? But the laws of life say that
every thought affects the whole being.
AS a mans heart is, SO Will he be.
Evil thoughts gradually undermine the
character, and some day these thoughts
will burst into action which is IRE
mediable.-Woman's Home Companion.

The Bounty That Is Cleaned From q
Barren Shore

The Bounty That Is Cleaned From q
Barren Shore.
In bygone times it was the practice
of the Newfoundland coast folk to ap.
propriate everything they secured, but
this lawlessness had to be sternly re-
pressed. Now the unwritten rule is
that they get half their hand" or 80
per cent, as salvage. In portable and
valuable articles, such as silverware
there is still a strong temptation to
keep the whole, but the punishment is
severe. Champagne, liquors, cabin
stores and the like have also a trick
of disappearing, and in the poorest
fishers cottage you will come upon
rare china, dainty napery, silverware
of price and wines to tempt an cpl
cure. The salvors are reckless and un-
thinking, and as they gather in hun.
dreds every man pre-empts what he
can. In the rush there is much de
stroyed. When the Herder was lost
in 1882 they burned whalebone worth
$4,000 a ton to save leather costing
20 cents a pound. In the Emmeline
wreck of 1900 they trampled crates of
costly glassware to get at four cases
of French prayer books valued at %
cents apiece. On one occasion two
salvors had got ashore a piano and
were adopting the Solomon-like expe-
dient of saving it in half when a
shrewder chum bought it from them
for bottle of whisky looted from the
captains cabin. When the Grasbrook
went ashore in 1890 every man on the
shore provided himself with a German
concertina, of which instruments of
torture she had large consignment,
and to secure them packages of much
more costly freight were thrown over.
board. When the Orion, from Balti-
more for Copenhagen, struck the back
of Cape Race and went to pieces she
had a large consignment of bicycles
on board, and they were auctioned in
st. Johns and disposed of all over the
island. The Abbeymore's lading in
1898 included some cases of splendid
English rifles for Canada, and these
are now to be seen adorning every
fishers cottage along the shore.-P. T.

Ancient Reds.

In ancient times the beds we read
about were simply rugs, skins or thin
mattresses which could be rolled up
and carried away in the morning. At
night they were spread on the floor,
which in the better class of houses
was of tile or plaster, and as the shoes
were not worn in the house and the
feet were washed before entering a
room the floors were cleaner than
ours. After a time a sort of bench,
three feet wide, was built around two
or three sides of the room about a
foot above the floor and, covered with
a soft cushion, was used during the
day to sit or lounge on and as a sleep
ing place at night. The bench was
sometimes made like a settee, movable
and of carved wood or ivory.-London
Standard.
