Tho Beneficial Yawn.

Chicago Chronicle: Yawaing is not
at all times an Indication of a feeling
of ~laziness. More frequently it Is an
evidence that certain muscles have
been overstrained and require rest.
Medical men Yer hat a yawn Is
natures demand for rest. Some peo-
pie think they only yawn because they
are sleepy. But his is not so. You
yawn because o are tired. You may
be sleepy also. but that is not the real
cause of your yawning. You are sleepy
because you are tired. Whenever you
feel like yaWning just yawn. Don't
try to suppress it because you hin
it is impolite to yawn. Put your hand
over your mouth If you want to, but
let the yawn come. And if you are
where you can stretch at the same
time that you yawn just stretch and
yaWn. This is natures way of stretch
ing and relaxing the muscles.

DR.. FED HIMSELF,

Found the Food that Saved His Life.
A good old family physician with a
lifetime experience in saving people
finally found himself sick unto death.
Medicines failed and-but let him
tell his own story: "For the first time
in my life of 81 years I am impelled to
publicly testify to the value of a large
ly advertised article and 1 certainly
would not pen these lines except that,
what seems IL me a direct act of Prov
idence, saved my life and l am i'm
pressed that it is a bounden duty to
make it known.

on a diet Of Grape-Nuts predigested

started my return to health and really
saved my life.
"a physician is naturally p%rejudiced
against writing such a letter, but in
this case l am willing to declare it
from the housetops that the multiplied
thousands who are now suffering as l

We Send Them Missionaries,

Kimball Graphic: A correspondent
OF a Kansas City newspaper has been
out among the Kickapoo Indians and
earned that they have a peculiar mar
riage custom. They simply select their
wives, and II the selection is mutual
they reside together as man and wife,
and nothing is said. There are no scan
dals among these people. Husbands
and wives are true to each other, and
the quiet understanding is considered
as sacred as our marriage vows. There
are few facts that can be termed Grim
lnal among his small band Of Indians.
Murder is seldom heard of. and death
Is the penalty for the crime. Robbery
from each other is unknown. All their
possessions could be piled together in
the street, and no one would think Of
taking the property. Their religion is
the same as Columbus found among
the Indians when he first landed In
America, and yet we send missionaries
TO that kind of people.

SOME MODERN UTOPlAS.
Fortunate Countries Where People
Ought to Be Very Good.

Ought to Be Very Good.
Golden Penny: Denmark claims that
there Is not a single person in her domain
who cannot read and write. On the north
east coast of New Guinea, the island Of
kutaba, surrounded by a wall of coral.
300 feet high on one side and from 80 to
100 feet high on the other, maintains thir-
teen villages Of natives, to whom war,
crime and poverty have been unknown
since the beginning of their traditions.
The most peaceful and comfortable COM
munity in Europe is the commune Of the
Canton Vaud, in Switzerland. Nearly ev-
eryone is we'll off, and there are no pau
pers. Finland Is a realm whose inhab-
ltants are remarkable for their inviolate
Integrity. There are no banks and no
safe deposits, for no such security is es-
sential. You may leave your luggage
anywhere for any length of time and be
quite sure Of finding 1t untouched on your
return, and your purse full of money
would be just as secure under similar
circumstances. The Firms place their
money and valuables In holes in the
ground and cover them with q big leaf.
Such treasure is scarcely respected by
all who pass it, but, in the rare event of a
man wishing to borrow of his eighbor
during his absence, he will take only the
smallest sum he requires. and place a
message in the hole telling Of his urgent
need and promising to repay the amount
on a specified date. And he will invariably
keep his word, for the Finn is invincible
in his independence.
Agneta Park, near Delft, in Holland, is
another Utopian example. A tract of ten
acres has upon 1t $50 houses, each with its
little garden and with certain common
buildings and common grounds. The
houses are occupied by the employees of a
great distilling company, who form a cor
poration which owns the park. Each
membe owns shares In the corporation,
and pays rent for his house. The sur
plus, after all expenses nave been paid,
comes back to him as dividend. If he
wishes to go away, or If he dies, his
shares are bought up by the corporation
n sold to the man who takes his place.

TAKES UP NOTES.
Sinking Fund Commission Pays Off
$1,000 of Floating Debt.

from thursdays DAILY.
The sinking fund commission held
meeting this afternoon, with all of the
members present, as follows: Mayor
Taylor, Recorder Hodapp, Treasurer
Throdahl and Chairman Schroeder of the
council committee on ways and means.
The commission decided to take up the
following notes bearing seven per cent
interest: w. E. Young, $500; hose COM
pany No. 2, 5000; National Citizens
bank, two of ST. 900 each. This reduces
the floating debt to about $4,000. The
notes were taken up with money from
the sinking fund, that cannot be used for
any other purpose.
Mayor Taylor the other day found a
party who holds notes to the amount of
$2,SO5 against the city, which bear eight
per cent interest. This party agreed to
take six per cent interest from now on
1t had been thought that all of the eight
per cent notes had been paid.
The redemption of the $500 worth of
notes and the reduction of interest on the
others will mean an annual saving to the
city in interest of $273A0.

part of today's session to considering
what to do about the proposed road down
the Strand ravine toward the Red jack

motion this forenoon that the petition
be granted, and this was seconded by
Commissioner Paddock. The board was

overcome, as all see the benefit which
the road would be to large section OF
the farming community.
Commissioners Bruels, Borchert and
Paddock were appointed committee to
examine the stone cluvert near Geo
Schulte's farm on the Mankato and
Lime township line, and report at the
next meeting.
