CUT OUT LODGE DOCTORS.
A California Medical College Creates a
Sensation.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, Dec. 15.-The
Son6ma County Medical Society has
decided that there shall be no lodge
doctors in the county. A resolution
was adopted to take them off January
5. Members will suffer expulsion who
do lodge work any more. This will
probably have the effect of raising sick
benefits in many lodges, which are now
in the habit of furnishing a doctors
services to members free. The mat
ter has created a sensation in lodge
circles.

The Offending handkerchief.

1t Is in fact grave sanitary ques-
ton whether the handkerchief does not
do more harm than good as it is ordi-
narily used. When we assume that the
nose does not need to be wiped, we face
a reasonably broad proposition as to
the danger of the handkerchief as a
disease propagation. Most nasal ca
tarrhs are of an infectious character.

Contrary to a general law of asepsis.

COINS OF THE PAST.
Gold Pieces That Were once Com-
mon, hut Are Now Rarely Seen.

Gold Pieces That Were Once Conn
mon, but Are Now Rarely Seen.
Recent mention of the disappearance
of the $3.50 gold piece from circulation
and the premium this coin commands
as curio has set many to rummaging
in old pocketbooks and bottoms of cash
boxes and drawers in search OF odd or
out of date coins. Some have found
$3.50 piece, but not many. The ~
piece once quite com es,n, but always
sort of curiosity, is oftener found, ana
many have specimens of the little gold
coins representing % cents ana oo
cents which were not minted by the
government and probably have not so
much gold in them as they represent.
They used TO pass as coin, but were
never in general circulation, being SO
easily lost that they soon became
scarce. One of the handsomest coin
relics seen is $40 gold piece bearing
the mint stamp of 1899. 1t Is larger
than the present $40 piece. The owner
has it hung in a band and wears 1t as
a charm on his watch chain. The own
err says he refused an offer of $50 for
this relic. The old octagonal 500 pieces
were quite common in California In
early days, when gold dust was largely
used as a circulating medium. They
were made of pure gold, and, while
they had not the elegant finish of the
gold coins minted by the government
in these days, many still remember
tba,n ne tho handsampst coins they ever
saw. Many people now would consider
them handsome on account of the 500
in them.-New York Tribune.

THE GREAT CONDOR.
IL Is the Most Diffcult Bird In the
World to Trap.

IL Is the Most Dihicult Bird In the
World to Trap.
Probably the great condor is the most
difficult bird in the world to trap. One
of the great vultures, it inhabits lofty
peaks OF the Andes, hardly accessible
to man. 1t builds its nest among the
topmost crags, often on a ledge of some
precipice with an almost perpendicular
drop of many hundred feet.
An extremely wary bird, it shares
with its congeners the proyerbial Tea
gle eye" and is thus able to see I'M
mense distances while yet unseen by
man. Its wings have spread of
twelve feet, and. though its flight is
heavy, it can sustain itself for long pc
RODS in the air
TO trap 1t men ascend TO its haunts
and shoot some animal of considerable
size. This is skinned, and man lies
down by the body under the skin and
waits, perhaps for hours. Soon COIL
doris come fiocking round until one set
ties on the skin, when the man below
grips its legs, filings the skin over it
and stabs 1t TO death.
The strength of these birds is enor-
nous, and the condor hunters often
have their arms broken by strokes
from their powerful wings.

TYPHOID GERMS.

The microscope shows that in the blood
of every person suffering from typhoid the
little germs can be found as shown above.
They are supposed to get into the water or
milk we drink. The germs multiply so
that one germ is capable of producing
about one hundred trillion germs in TWEEN
ty-four hours. That is why If they ever
get into the water supply of a town they
multiply so fast that nearly everybody
drinking the water comes down with the
disease. There are exceptions, however.
and they are the persons whose health is
perfect whose blood is pure, and liver
active. When the germs get into a healthy
body they are thrown off with the other
poisons. Recent Chicago statistics show
that one-eighth of all the deaths in the
past two years in that city have resulted
from pneumonia.
The best advice we can give is to put the
body into a perfectly sound, healthy condi-
ton. Be assured that you have rich, red
blood aud an active liver.
Many years ago DIR. K. v. Pierce, who is
consulting surgeon to the lnyalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y,
found certain herbs and roots which, when
made into an Alternative extract without
the use of ALCOHOL, seemed TO be the very
best means of putting the stomach, blood
and vital organs into proper condition.
This seemed to him as close to natures
way of treating disease as il was possible
to go. For over a third of century Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has had
a wonderful sale and the cures resulting
from its use are numbered by thousands.
II is a ue-builder, better than cod liver
oil because il does not sicken the stomach,
or offend the taste. II strengthens or
renews the assimilative or digestive pro.
.cesses in the stomach and puts on healthy
flesh when the weight of the invalid IL
reduced below the normal.

ical Discovery" Nothing else is "just as
good"

BURNING THE YUlE LOG.
The Custom One of Ancient Origin
The Yu1e Candle.

The Yu1e Candle.
The custom of burning a large log
of wood which is known as the Yule
log is very ancient in its origin. All
through the middle ages every farm
house, cottage and castle In England
burned its Yule log upon the hearth,
the log being dragged in with much
ceremony.
At Yuletide when the great log famed
In chimneypiece and laugh and Jest
went round.
The word "Yule" itself seems TO be
derived from the Anglo-Saxon "Geol,"
meaning December. Earlier still the
Yule, or midwinter, feast is seen in its
most fiourishing state among the Morse
men, who commemorated the fiery sun
wheel with a mighty feast. They be-
lieved that during the twelve nights
from Dec. % to Jan. 6 they could trace
the actual movements of their great
Odin, or Odhinn, the god of storms,
and other deified beings on the earth.
The Yule log, with its CHEEKY blaze,
comes to us across the centuries as a
dim memory OF the fires lit to celebrate
the setting out of the sun on his north
ward journey toward the light and
warmth OF summer.
A large candle known as the Iule
candle used also to light the Christmas
eve festivities. 1t was a bad omen IL
