DANGERS OF CROWD POISON
Impure Air Inhaled in Working
Places and Some of It's
III Effects.

Crowd poison" confronts us at all
turns in this city. In our own homes, in
places of employment, in public build
ings and in conveyances We are con-
stantly breathing impure air and being
poisoned by it, the only part of the day.
perhaps, when we breathe pure air be-
ing the few minutes which are spent in
walking to work or in waiting for the
trolley which will carry us thither, says
Health Culture.
So insidiously does 'crowd poison"
which is the poison of impure air pro-
duced by vast population in a small
area, enter the system that it is hard to
persuade people of it's existence. The
occupants Of a work-room, entering it
in the morning and remaining alkday,
or of a sleeping-room, do not notice
the gradual withdrawal of the oxygen
from the air and its substitution by
"crowd poison" thrown off by their own
lungs. The sleepiness, lassitude and
headache that follow it they ascribe to
the fatigue of long-continued labor.
The inability to rise brisk and fresh
in the morning, after night spent in
close room, the lack of appetite for
the morning meal, the pallor and muddy
complexion that ensues after awhile,
they do not recognize as the results of
days and nights spent in impure air.
They seek relief from their ailments
in taking medicines, rather than in the
simpler method of cure by exercise in
the open air.

Weak Hearts.

Are caused by Indigestion. If you eat a
little too much, or if you are subject
to attacks of Indigestion. the stomach
Xpands-swells, and puffs up against
the heart. This crowds the heart
and shortens the breath. Rapid heart
beats and heart disease is the final
result, Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests
what you eat, takes the strain off the
heart, cures Indigestion, dyspepsia,
sour stomach, and contributes nourish-
ment, strength and health to every
organ of the body. Sold by Wood Co.

Juvenile Pearl Hunters.

The very low stage of water below
the dam the past few days has in
duced quite an army of enthusiastic
juvenile pearl hunters to diligently
search the rocky river bottom for the
precious gems that are found in the
clans. 1t was amusing to watch the
youngsters clambering over the rough
river bottom and anxiously breaking
open the shells with the expectation
of finding a pearl. As yet no rich
find has been make.

Automobile Frightens Horse.

Andy Carriers horse which he left
standing in front of Reiland's meat
market was frightened by passing
automobile Saturday forenoon, and
started to run down the street at a
merry pace. The runaway horse
nearly coIlided with several rigs and
gave their occupants bad fright.
The horse turned the corner by
Lemuel Kromer'S house and went up
the hill on High street where it was
stopped. The damage to the~rig was
slight, while the horse was not in
juredin the least.

Weak
Hearts

Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine Of every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when it was simple indlges-
ton. II is scientific fact that all cases Of
heart disease, not organic, arc not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of indi-
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach. putting 1t up against tho
heart. This interferes with the action Of
the heart, and in the course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
Mr.: D. Kauble. Of Nevada, o.. says: 1 had stomach
trouble and was in bad state as had heart trouble
with it. took Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for about four
months and it cured me.

strain and the heart of all pressure.

ENTERTAINING IN JAPAN.
The Comfort of the Guest Is Assidu.
ously But Very Quietly
Looked After.

If you are ever in Japan and happen
to be invited to dinner, do not forget
to leave your shoes outside; otherwise
you will be guilty of an objectionable
breach of etiquette. After your host has
greeted you, says the Chicago Journal,
it is proper to coil yourself upon thin
cushion as best you can, for smoke
with your host.
Presently in trips maiden, with soft,
gliding, noiseless steps. She carries
small lacquered box with a tray on the
top about the height of camp STOOL
She kneels down, sitting on her white
slippered heels, and places the tray be-
fore you, always silent, graceful and I'M
conscious. On the tray are paper nap
kin, chopsticks and various kinds of
food, such as raw fish, chouchou of the
bamboo, and stewed meats.
A little later two or three other maid
ems glide in and draw near to yourself
and host, and as they change their
kimonos, apparently, between each
course they convey the impression of a
bewildering number, although in fea-
lures they are much alike to the unac-
customed western eye.
Between the courses you are treated to
geisha dances, accompanied by quietly
dressed musicians, who make an admir-
able foil for the beautiful evolutions of
four or more dancers, every motion hav-
ing a symbolic meaning. Then comes
another course, cigarettes, more dane
ers, jugglers, another course, and so
on till a late hour in the night, when you
feel that although you are not hungry
you have been tricked somehow out of
your dinner. But you have gained a
new experience by way of compensa-
