Gum Chewing,

"To chew gum for five or ten min
utcs after meal is absolutely benc-
fcial," said physician, especially for
hasty eaters, who do not half masti-
cate their food, because the action of
the jaws causes the gastric juices to
flow, and that is good. But so few
people can use and not abuse it. They
get the gum in their mouths and keep
at it till they; fairly dry UP the saliva
supply, bring on headache and get
generally nervous. This will cause in
digestion"

Carelessness is responsible for many
a railway wreck and the same causes
are making human wrecks of sufferers
from Throat and Lung troubles. But
since the advent of DIR. Kings New

diseases by f, G, Duke, Druggist.

The Chinese Love For the Zigxap

The Chinese Love For the Zigzag.
The straight line Is an abomination
to the Chinese. They endeavor to
avoid it In their streets and buildings
and have banished IL completely where
country field paths are concerned.
They will always substitute curve
whenever possible, or they will torture
1t into zigzag.
In districts not subject to the in6u-
ence Of the foreigner the houses and
temples are characterized by curved,
often peaked, roofs, ornamentcd with
fantastic notifications of the myriad
stroke puttcrn. the inhabitants OF
such regions are soon found to have
mental world to correspond. The
straight line Is secuted. They think in
curves and zigZags. TO the Chinese
mind the straight line is suggestive of
death and demons. 1t belongs not to
the heaven above or to the earth be-
meath. In true horizon line are seen
the "undulations Of the dragon" There
fore, argue the Chinese, the straight
line pertains to hades.-Contemporar
