Too Many Joneses.

Congressman Wesley L. Jones OF
Washington recently read in the
papers that w. l.. Jones had been ar
rested for embezzlement. The next
day he read that another w. l.. Jones
had been arrested for vagrancy.
THAT reminds me that when l was
first a candidate for congress out in
Washington state,' he said to a party
of friends, my opponent in the fusion
party was a ma9 of the name of w. G..
Jones, who travelled about the state
with a map showing how the octopus
had got hold of the farmer and was
eating out his vitals. He was dubbed
Wheat Chart" Jones. His campaign
manager also was named Jones and
he was called deep Creek" Jones, be-
cause of a physical popularity of the
locality in which he lived. They dub
bed me Yakima Jones, from the name
of the city where l reside"

ATTACK ON BATHING.
Chicago Doctor Says That Washing
the Body Is Dangerous.

when people leave off bathing there
will be little or nothing for the doc
tors to dc. Pneumonia, colds and a
hundred other ills result from the fool
ish habit of washing the body.
ITO bathe is to be dirty, for you
thereby make sewer of the skin.
Blood attracted by the skin gives up
products that should be left to seek
natural outlet and soils the skin"
The foregoing declaration. made by
Prof. John Dill Robertson at the an
nual meeting of the Chicago Electric
and Surgical society, has aroused the
interest of the members.
Prof. Robertson asserted that the
Theory that the closing of the pores OF
the skin would result in death is false.
He, said that all physiologies which
made such an assertion were wrong.
The habit of taking dry baths was
also denounced The rubbing o. a
rough towel over the skin. according
to DR.. Robertson, removes the natural
scales of the skin, or the false skin"
This, he said, conduced to the growth
of bacteria upon the skin.
The doctor concluded with touch
ing incident of poor Eskimo brought
from Greenland to Boston, who had
never been i'll in his life. He was
given a bath, contracted pneumonia
md died in two days.

Well Remembered.

Valley City, N. Oak, Dec. 1.-Two
gears ago Mrs. Matilda M. Boucher of
this place suffered a great deal with =
dizziness in her head. She was cured
of this by a remedy called Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and has not been troubled
since.
Shortly afterwards she had bad
bilious attack, and for this she used
Diamond Dinner Pills and was COM
pletely cured in a short time.
In January, 1903. she had an attack
of Sciatica, of which she says:
Il was almost helpless with the Sci
atica, but remembering what Dodd's
Kidney Pills and Diamond Dinner Pills
had done for me before, l commenced
treatment of these medicines anS IN
;hree weeks was completely restored
to health. l have great faith in these
medicines, for they have been of so
much benefit to me-"

A PINCH OF SALT. -,
Article Now Universally Recognized
as an Absolute Necessity.

The true value of salt in food is best
realized by it's absence. when almost
everything we eat is without flavor.
Since its introduction salt has steadily
increased in value, until it has become
an absolute necessity.
But it is not in food alone that salt
was valued by the ancients. Among
them a salt spring was regarded as
gift from the gods, and any salt found
in the soil lent it a peculiar sanctity,
and made it a place where prayers
were most readily heard. Every
meal that included salt had certain
sacred character, creating bond of
piety and friendship between host and
guest; hence the expression There is
salt between u.s." meaning frierfSb;p,
and to be untrue to salt" means to be
disloyal or ungrateful.
The numerous references in the Bi-
BILE to salt indicates that the sacred
writer's attached much Importance to
it as a symbol of something that was
of great value.
"Ye are the salt of the earth. -
Matt. v. 13.
Have salt in yourselves, and have
peace one with another. Mark tx. so.
Let your speech be always with
grace seasoned with salt."-Col. iv. G.
with all thine offering thou shalt
offer salt."-Ley. ii. 13.
The value of the article as well as
the significance which attaches to the
word is still retained, showing it has
lost none of its savor."
A sailor is frequently termed an
"old salt" because his business takes
him over the briny ocean.
To take anything with pinch of
salt means to excuse or make allow
ance for it.
/ A pinch of salt is always considered
lucky in cooking.
To salt" ones conversation means
to make it sparkle.
To salt" ship is to fill with salt
between the timbers and planks for
the preser vatiofi OF the tiTnbeTs.

"Hockerb all"

"Hockerball' is the latest product In
the way of parlor games. 1t is ex-
pected presently to sweep the world
clear of all that remains of ping-pong.
The new game is suitable for either
summer or winter, a great advantage
being that 1t can be played sitting
down by either four, six. or eight play
ers. Each of these has his own par
ticular court to play on-the table
is divided by tapes into as many
courts as there are players from
which he endeavors to pass" or to
shoot goats. A neutral territory is
provided, from which players can
either pass to each other or endeavor
to get the ball into their own courts,
where intruders are not permitted.
At each end of the table goal is kept
in the orthodox fashion and the game
is played with miniature hockey sticks.

Press DispHtches.

Every newspaper having press
franchise contributes its share toward
the expense of employing agents in
the various cities, leasing telegraph
wires, and paying telegraph and cable
tolls, fixed weekly charge being as
sessed against it. Every such news
paper places its proofs at the disposal
of the local agent of the press, who
selects from them what he thinks will
be OF interest elsewhere, and sends it
by telegraph to the nearest distribut-
ing center, usually New York or Chi
cago.

"Why is it." they asked, "you prefer

'In the case of electric light" he

They admitted that he spoke truly.
