Sugar as n stimulant.

One Of the numerous physical culture
teachers departs from the faith Of
trainers in advising his pupils to eat all
the sugar they can get Either in talk
ing off flesh or in putting on flesh his
advice is to make sugar in some form
or other liberal part Of the daily diet
Sugar is a very powerful stimulant
and a great producer of nerve force"
he said. II spent two winters in the
Klondike, where the miners eat enor-
nous quantities Of sugar and molasses.
They even sweeten salt pork with It.
Men who simply soak themselves In
sweets do twice the work Of men who
let sugar alone. Swiss mountaineers
always carry liberal supply of sugar
in their kits. Negroes in the harvest
fields grow fat on sugar. cane
"In hot or cold climates liberal diet
Of sugar will put man in the finest
possible condition. Whatever bad eff
fects sugar may have at first are soon
remedied by exercise. 1t has been fad
for two or three years to howl against
the use of sugar, but there is no sound
physiological reason for It"

Another spring came, and every eye
was on Philip. "He will go to see Mar
| tina now" they said to one another,
but Philip did not climb the hill road.
He had looked in vain for red flowers
in Martha's hair.
One beautiful Sabbath morning in
June Martha Raymond sat on the
broad doorstep waiting for the first
bell" to ring for churcL Her brother
and his wife and little daughter were
visiting her Ruth was to accompany
her to church. The child was playing
in the old fashioned garden where
larkspurs and roses ran wild. Martha
called her, and she came running up
with her hands full of blossoms.
"Pitty f'owers," she said. "Rufe put
some i'll Aunt Marfa's hair" And she
climbed up on the broad stone and
peeped roguishly into Martha's face.
"Only the blue flowers, dearie-the
larkspurs. Auntie doesn't wear red in
her hair"
"Yeth," lisped the sweet baby voice,
pity blu towers in auntie's hair"
And she tucked crimson rambler
among the soft red coils. Then she
slipped her little hand into Martha's,
and they went to church together.
Philip and his mother sat directly be-
hind them. The old lady looked in
quiringly at the little child, but Phil
ip's eyes sought Martha's hair, just as
they had done in vain for two long
years. He half rose from his seat, for
there was the blessed red signal at
last. He rubbed his eyes and looked
again, and when the minister read,
"What went We out to see?" he muir
INJURED, "a red flower, of course" His
mother laid reproving hand on his
arm. "Hush!" she whispered, just as
she had whispered years ago to the
restless youngster beside her.
Early that afternoon he climbed the
hill road. NIartha's brother answered
his knock She was in the garden with
little Ruth, he said. He found them
there among the roses and larkspurs.
Martha" he cried, hurrying down
the gravel path, chow can thank you,
dear?"
THANK me-" she said TREMENDOUSLY,
"for what, Philip?'
"For wearing this" And he took the
withered red rose from her hair.
Her eyes opened wide with surprise.
II didn't know it was there" she fall
tered. 81 guess Ruth did it,
"Yeth," the baby lisped. 81 dess
did-pitty Blu f'ower."
Philips face fell. $50 it's all mis-
take" he said sadly.
But Martha put her arms around her
little niece and held her close.
"Tell him." she said, "that auntie's
glad you put the pretty blu flower in
her hair"

Dislocated Her Shoulder.

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus
Falls, Mimi. fell and dislocated he1
shoulder. She had surgeon get it
back in place soon as possible, but it
was quite sore and panied her very
much. Her son mentioned that he
had seen Chamberlain Pain Balm ad-
vertised for sprains and soreness, and
she asked him to buy her bottle OF

her and enabled her to sleep which
she had not done for several days.

BY THE HAND
OF A CHILD
BY HARRIET G. GARFIELD

Martha Raymond amt changed
none since she was twenty, 'cept to get
redder headed" the village dressmaker
said to Deacon Lindsley's wife.
II don't know" Mrs. Lindsey re-
piled. Seems to me she's more indie
pendent than ever since her pa and ma
died."
''Think so? Well, she's still on the
sunny side of thirty-five and got more
taste than any young girl in town. She
never wears red next to her hair-al-
ways black or white or green. l tell
you an artist don't understand colors
better'n Martha does. wonder if Phil
Gardner's proposed to her yet this
spring."
81 guess not. It's usually a little
later'n this he asks her-'bout when
I'm half through house cleanin'."
Every one in the village knew that
Philip Gardner annually proposed to
Martha Raymond and was annually
rejected, but only the reflector and the
rejected knew that old Mrs. Gardner
was the cause of Philips woe. Every
year he had said, Martha, won't you
marry me now?" and Martha had re-
piled, "Not if l must live with your
mother, Phil"
Strange to say, he had never asked
her to be more explicit. He had no
idea Of her reason for refusing to live
with his mother. 1t was enough for
him that she refused.
This year it was later than usual.
Mrs. Lindsey had finished house clean
ing when he climbed the steep hill road
that led to the old Raymond homestead.
1t was early in the evening, and Mar
tina was busy among her flower beds.
She looked up with a conscious smile
when the little gate clicked behind him.
Good evening, Phil" she said. "Did
you come to get some violets"
"No," he replied bluntly. 81 came to
get you. Can't l, Martha?"
''Net if must live with your moth
er, Phil" she said, with an air of
finality.
To her surprise, he did not, as before
turn dejectedly away. There was a
determined look in his eyes before
which she trembled.
''I-I must go in" she said
"Not until you've mentioned what
you have against my mother" And he
deliberately barred her way.
Marthas temper rose. 81 wouldn't
live with her for a farmw she cried.

Go south where you can

to be protected from the ri

GARDEp At PORT ARTHUR.

Che Foo, Sept. 19.-According to
Lieutenant Prince Radzivil Of the Rus
sian army. who. reached here from
Port Arthur, bearing dispatches from
Lieutenant General StoessGl. the
temper of the belligerents at Part Ar
thur has reached an absolutely merci-
less stage.
In one of the recent assaults two
companies of Japanese soldiers, ac-
cording to Prince Radziyil, found
themselves at the mercy of the Rus
SLAMS and hoisted a white flag. To
this, however, the Russians paid no
attention, and continued to volley
rapidly into the helpless ranks of the
enemy. In the meantime, Japanese
troops in the rear of the companies
that held sacred the white flag saw
what their comrades had done and ex.
pressed their disapproval of the sur
render by firing into their rear. AS
a result of the fire from friend and
foe, 600 men were annlhilated. The
dead fell among the decomposing
bodies of previous assaults. For days
area raised futtering handkerchiefs
in their hands in pleas for help, but
the Russians were afraid to venture
out to give succor. Within week the
last arm had made it's last unregard-
ed prayer for help, and the shambles
was quiet but CHASTITY field of horror.
Among the heaps Of dead the prince
saw two soldiers, one Russian and
the other a Japanese, lying locked in
a death embrace. The teeth of the
Japanese were sunk in the Russians
throat, while the Russian had forced
two of his fingers into the eye sockets
of his antagonist.
In consequence of the fact that
flags Of truce are ignored, numbers of
Japanese dead, who have been lying
on the slopes OF the hills of the north
east defenses for weeks past, are still
unburied, and the stencil In Port Ar

over their noses handkerchiefs soaked
in camphor, as otherwise they would
be unable to remain at their posts.

COTTON SPINNING.
The Scheme by Which Workman
Kept His Bobbins Clean.

The father of the famous Sir Robert
Peel was a cotton spinner in a COM
paratively small way until he sudden
ly went straight ahead of all his COM
petitors. The earliest cotton spinning
machinery gave serious trouble
through filaments Of cotton adhering
to the bobbins, thus involving frequent
stoppages to clear the machinery. The
wages Of the operatives were affected
by these delays, but it was noticed that
one man IN the works always drew full
pay. His loom never stopped.
'"The onlooker tells me your bobbins
are always Clean" said Mr.. Peel to
him one day.
aye, they be-" said the man, whose
name was Dick Ferguson.
"How do you manage it, Dick?'
why, you see, Mester Peel, It's sort
O secret! II towd yo', yo'd be as

response to Dicks knowing chuckle.

"Well, then" returned Dick, beckon-
ing Mr.. Peel to come closer andtiet him

That was the entire secret. Ma
chinery was soon invented for chalk
ing the bobbins, and Dick Ferguson
was given a pension equal to many

Persons posting letters should at

state the stamps are liable to rub Off
