GRANTING A FAVOR.
Do 1t Graciously-Do Not Make the
Recipient Feel Contemplate.

Recipient Feel Contemplate.
The essence of truest kindness lies in
the grace with which it is performed.
Some men seem to discount all graft
tude, almost make it impossible, by the
way in which they grant fayors. They
make YOU feel so small, so mean, so in.
ferior; your cheeks burn with indigna-
ton in the acceptance of the boon y"N
seek at their hands. You feel it is -"
Il bone thrown at a dog instead OF ne
quick. sympathetic graciOuSncss that
forestalls your explanations ana
valves your thanks with smile, the
pleasure of one friend who has been Ia
vored with the opportunity TO be or
service to another. The man VIC
makes another feel like an Insect re
clining OH a rcdl!ot stove While he Is
receiving favor has no right to eX'
pect future gratitude; he should feel
satisfied if he receives forgiveness.
Let us forget the good deeds we have
done by making them seem small III
romparison with the greater things we
are doing and the still greater acts we
hope to do. This is true generosity and
will develop gratitude in the soul OF
him who has been helped unless he is
so petrificd in selfshness as to make 1t
ifnpossiblc. But constantly reminding
n man Of the favors he has received
from YOU almost cancels the debt. The
care of the statistics should be his priv
ilege; you arc usurpinS his prcroptlVe
when YOU recall them. Merely because
it has been our good fortune TO be able
10 serve some one we should not act
as if we held mortgage on his immor-
tally and expect him to swing the CEN
ser of adulation forever in our presence.

OIL AND GAS
Subject of DR.. Whites Lecture at
Morgantown, W. Va,


The last lecture In the series
given by DR.. l. c. White, State
geologist of West Virginia, was de-
livered at Commencement Hall
Friday on oil and gas.
A history of the production of oil
and gas In the world and IN this
State particularly was outlined.
The Chinese were familiar with the
use of these commodities thou sar DIS
of years ago. In Arabia and Persia
and even In Japan I'll and natural
gas were produced In small guam
tiles
1t Is only since about the year
1890 that It's commercial value has
been recognize and It's great pro
ductlon developed.
Contrary to the general impress
sion, the first discovery of oil In
this country was In West Virginia
instead OF at OIL City, Pa. On
Hughes river, Where there IS a
great anticline In the oil bearing
rocks, the oil seeped to the surface,
was collected In blankets on
streams and pools of water. The
oil was transported to Marietta,
Ohio, where 1t was sold at retail by
the merchants. Their books which
are still matter of record show the
invoices of oil received from the
Hughes River District.
Much earlier than this the Amer
lean Indians collected oil In this
country and traded 1t for other
commodities. One brand was
named Seneca OH from the Seneca
Indians, and had a wide reputation
as remedy for rheumatism.
Formerly there were oil and gas
witches like the water witches we
all know of, who locate wells by a
iorked peach limb. In more recent
years a scientific method of locating
oil and gas wells has been discover
ed, and DR.. White was the first to
introduce what Is known as the an
ticlinal theory of the occurrence Of
oil and gas In the earth's strata.
He has located so many wells by
this theory, that 1t Is now pretty
we'll established as fact instead OF
theory.
DR.. White discovered that gas,
oil and salt water are arranged In
the porous oil bearing rocks as they
would be put into a closed vessel
and allowed to stand. The gas be.
Ing lightest collects In the arches of
the rock, oil IS found next In the
sides of the arches of the rock,
and salt water In the valleys
between. Nearly all prospectors
for oil and gas now follow this
theory now followed by our own
state geologist' DR.. Whites lee
ture was heard by large audience,
who would like to hear a lecture on
the geology of West Virginia from
him every day for month, or
through whole school year. He
presents the subject In an intensely
interesting way.

Catarrh of the Stomach

When the stomach Is overloaded
when food Is taken into 1t that fails
to digest, 1t decays and inflames the
MUCOUS membrane, exposes the
nerves and causes the glands to
secrete mucin, instead of natural
juices of digestion. This Is called
catarrh of the stomach. For years
I suffered with catarrh of the stom.
ach, caused by indigestion. Doc
tors and medicine failed me until

be true. but our contest does not indi-
cate it and her supremacy in this
particular will hereafter be a matter
of doubt among many people who have
heretofore never questioned her
primacy upon this point. In all, ballots

this offica, of which PA were from
Illinois, ls4 from Missouri, 1872 from
Iowa and l3l from Kansas.
Out of the 5000 people residing in
Canon City and its environs, probably
one fifth came from the four states al

cally stronger here than the people
from any equal number Of our American
commonwealths, and the only reason
they did not show up better in our
contest was that they were too modest

other winter varieties are not as pro-
life bearers this Sc ason ss they were n
year ago, although the Winesaps. Gnnos
and some Others are more so than they
were at that time. The fruit has
col''red up surprisingly fast during the
last Ten days or two weeks and will be
of splendid quality and appearance
WHEN ready for market.
Owing to the partial fsilure of the
apple cr'p in some OF the important
fruit growing sections of the Union, by
reason Of the frosts last spring, it is
likely there will be more foreign buyers
here than WAS the case year ago,
which will stimulate competition for
the Canon City product and open up a
wider market for the local growers, a
thing that cannot fail to rebound 10
their profit.
Apple picking will not begin for
three or four weeks yet, the orchnrdists
rreferring o let them remain on the
trees as long AS possible.

HO0SIERS CELEBRATE.

Sells Island last Saturday and were so
well pleased with their experience that
they decided to form an organization

last Saturday was looked upon as
somewhat problemsticsl by its pro-
moters, and they feel very much graft
fed as result of its success. It was
found impossible by those in charge to
hunt up all the Indiana people living
here and send them special invita-

WAS one of pleasure to all. There was
an interesting program OF entertain

Indiana upon their culinary tastes and
accomplishments.

or more orderly assemblage it would
be difficult to imagine

celebration was due to their efforts.
The event attracted an immense
throng of people to Brookside. especial

county, and so loath were they to
leave that the celebration was con-

A WOMAN's COMPLEXION

II is rank foolishness to attempt to
remove salowness or greasiness Of
the skin by the use of cosmetics, or
local treatment as advocated by the
beauty doctors" The only safe and
sure way that a woman can improve
her complexion is by purifying and en-
riching the blood, which can only be
accomplished by keeping the liver
healthy and active The liver is the
seat of disease and blood pollution
Green's August Flower acts directly
on the liver cleanses and enriches the
blood, purifies the complexion Il also
cures constipation, biliousness, ner-
vousness. and induces refreshing sleep
A single bottle of August Flower has
