EMERGENCY MEDICINES.

1t is a great convience to have at
hand reliable remedies for use in
cases of accident and for slight in
juries and ailments. A good lini-
ment and one that is fast becoming
favorite if not a household necess-
ity is Chamberlains Pain Balm. By
applying it promptly to a cut,
bruise or burn it allays the pain
and causes the injury to heal in
about one third the time usually re-
quired, and as it is an antiseptic it
prevents any danger of blood poison
ing. When Pain ::Balm is kept at
hand Il sprain may be treated before
inflammation Gets in, which insures
a quick recovery. For sale by F.

The St. Paul school board is put
ting into effect some drastic school
rules. They have ordered the
pianos out of all school, will not
permit the girls to watch the boys
play basket ball, or the boys witness
the girls games, will not permit the
boys who take part in athletic
sports to take parts in any debates,
operettas, and if they do belong to
some athletic club can only be a
member of one at the same time.
We occasionally hear of school
children striking, they would Ger
tainly be JUSTIFIED in rebelling against
such rules as these and absolutely
refuse to attend school until, these
new rules were annulled. The youth
of our land must have some exhilar-
ating.sport to take away their sur
plus enthusiasm. What sort of
physical make up would boy or
girl have if they didn t want to remp
and play, exercising their limbs
after being oooped up in u school
room, if they did not have some
desire for out door games they
would be unAmerican and event
ually lose their patriotism. Let the
youth run, kick, play, and use
their voice, it will assist in their
development and health, giving
them strength in mature age and
enable them to better withstand
the vicissitudes of life in their old
age and look back with the happy
reflection that they made the most
TO their lives that was conducive
to their pleasures and long life.

men and their unions are carrying
matters too far. They are losing
the respect and sympathy of the
people at large. Their organizations
are a good thing but they are be-
coming too domineering and their
claims are unjust, especially when
debating details of the efforts used
by contractors to accomplish their
work. The leaders of labor unions
should pause and consider to what
end they are drifting rapidly, be-
fore it is too late.

The case egreat ca'hedr5 to the
attention of the e. 1t woEce COM
mission by the conn ,aint Of R,
ID. Barker, postmaster at Mobile,
Ala, who refused to recommend
Wright, who headed the eligible
list of the Mobile postoffice, for a
place under him, and asked the
commission how he was to avoid
making the appointment.
The postmaster said he thought
a man who had three square
meals a day and carried around
an assortment of the above men
toned articles for his own re-
freshment between breakfast and
dinner and dinner and supper
was a a,orank, and he didA't want
him around the office. Mr.. Bark
oer inclosed with his letter a num-
Der of communications from lead
ing citizens of Alabama and Mis-
souri,, who told of their knowl-
edge Of the "human ostrich" and
his remarkable diet.
The postmaster at Palmyra,
Mo-, told his colleagues at Mo-
bile how Wight had LEFT his.
heme in that town one day with
out his iHRoh and endeavored to
satisfy the pangs of hunger at
noontime with handful Of as
sorted brook pebbles, two or
three horseshoe naHs, a brass
,scarfpin and a small piece of
wire fencing.
The postmaster said he didn't
know whether it was the pebbles
or the wire fencing that dis
agreed with Wright, but he was
taken violently with indigestion
and after all other remedies had
failed was placed on the operat-
ing table and the contents of his
stomach removed. Lots OF other
things besides his lunch of peb-
bles, horseshoe nails, soarfpins
and wire fencing were found, in
.cluding a silver hunting case
watch and 81 cents in small
change.
The human ostrich rallied from
the operation in short order and
was able to sit up and take his
.cown peculiar kind of nourish-
ment within a month or 80.
After examining the exhibits
in the case and reading the var
ious letters submitted, the COM
missioners decided that Wright
would not make a good public
servant and ordered that his
name be dropped from the rolls.
