THE GUARDIAN OF OUR BODY.

The foremost biologist Of our day,
N, Metschnikoff, has shown the world
Of science that there are ieucocytes In ouI
blood that act as scavengefs or policemen.
These policemen which are called phGgo'
cytSS look out for the noxious or poisonous
elements in our blood. Various offending
elements are picked out Of the blood and
tissues by these policemen and destroyed.
Therefore our lives are protected by
these blood policemen, the PhagocyfeS,
and we enjoy immunity from disease SO
long as our blood contains plenty Of phago-
cytes and red blood corpuscles.

Republic oil company was resumed
Thursday. L. c. Lohmah, for 80 years
an oil dealer at Jefferson City, was the

quotation of 81 less than he was pay

This letter, however, he said, was
soon followed by another in which the
Standard Oil company declared 1t
could not sell oil in his territory. He
said he was forced to abandon his pat-

because the Missouri Pacific and the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas roads had
refused to accept oil for shipment to

luton:
"The constitutionalist party, since

Quarters are be- ing prepared for it there. and when they are completed Mir. Bell and the members of his family will be able to step into the automobile without stepping out of the house and ride out instead of walk out
 The automobile is to spend its leisure in a room directly under the library. It will get in by descending an inclin- ed way from the outside. When it comes in Mir. Bell will step from it in the basement. walk upstairs and be at home. After dining and sleeping he will walk downstairs the next morning into the basement and take his seat in the waiting automobile. the doors will swing ajar. and the car will glide up the incline and out into West Pins boulevard and speed away downtown.

sured me it was time for the frogs, that already his sisters had found arbutus in bloom, that the ice would soon be going out, that in week the snow would be all gone. And Joey proved a true prophet. for the three weeks we spent at Deerprint cabin were three weeks of con- stant outdoor living. Often at noon there was really an almost tropic heat when the sun shone perpendicularly on the not sands, and not infrequently we would seek what shade the tall pines af- forded. We usually ate our noon meal out of doors, boiled the kettle over q gipsy fire built at the edge of the mead oW bordering on Deerpoint lake. It was pleasant place for a incoming, this meadow of wild hay;" at one end rose a gentle slope whereon grew group of young poplars, the light trunks and few yellow leaves we'll set against thick dark pines; the little lake, one of the myriad that gem the woods of northern wisconsin. was pleasant water to idle by, and we were wont to prolong our incoming, Joey and I, Joey taking natur- ally to leisure, adopting the profession for awhile.
 Not always, however, did the spring fever hold us inactive, for a. number of times we trudged many miles along woodland paths, or down the Trail to La. Point, that old government road in days gone by much travelled by Indians in their journeyings to Ashland.
 What l so like about this land is the Indian atmosphere over everything, the silent forests, the quiet little lakes, the blessed wide stretches of untenanted lands, the game abounding in the woods, the birch trees. the canoes-all the set ting like that of those thrilling early romances of the red man. The summer day l first saw the Big lake and was rowed across it by Leo, grandson of Osaugee, Chippewa chief, I rubbed my eyes to make sure was awake: scarce could realize that yesterday was sub Jected to fiendish noise of an elevated train passing over my head. to the yells of neWsboy and teamster, and to-day was soundlessly crossing the Big lake, my boatman silent Chippewa Indian.
 One sees different types of Indians up here, and, of course, not a great many survivors of picturesque sort. But there are few. There is the old Sioux, short, stocky, erect Indian, quite three-score' and-ten, who wears an
