 Bad at night when bedtime comes,
 Just as bad in the morning.

 J. A. Owen of 1920 South Walnut street, Pine Bluff, Ark. says: "For years I was afflicted with weak back and the least cold I caught al- ways settled on my kidneys, causing me great deal of misery and pain. When suffering from the trouble, could neither stoop nor straighten up after stopping, without sharp twinges of pain across my back and loins. I was advised at Mann-Tank- ersley drug store to use Doan's Kid ney Pills and they have never failed to relieve me. can highly recom- mend them for troubles of this kind" For sale hy all dealers.

The rink presented an amaz- ing spectacle and Chs and Ans were heard on every side at the beautiful appearance of the rink in it's holiday attire. Hundreds of Japanese lanterns low light, whilst tons of Holly and Misletoe, showing the deep red and white of their prints, lent an air of beauty and Christmas tide to the sur roundings.

any other things can ever do. When
we behold their wealth we are as poor

WHEN WE STAND UPRIGHT
A Special Complex Mechanism Ena-
blcs Us to Do 1t.

n Special Complex Mechanism Enn-
blcs Us to Do 1t.
We are so accustomed to standing
upright as natural attitude that few
of us think what special complex
mechanism is required for this pur-
pose. A moments consideration will
show that the ordinary explanation of
the erect position (the center of CRAWL
ty to be directly above the feet is in
sufficient. When man Is suddenly
shot, whether from the front or behind,
he drops on his face, for the truth is
that there is much more weight in the
front of the spinal column than be-
hind it.
The fact is that when we are stand
ing large number of powerful mus
cles (both front and back are stimuli
taneously Mt work, the effects of their
action being to neutralize each other.
Thus the legs would fall forward We're
it not that they are kept vertical ON
the feet by the strong tendon the
"Achilles'o at the back of the heel.
AT the same time the muscles of the
thigh are frightened so as to prevent Us
taking sitting position, and the mus
Giles of the back are pulled tense so that
the trunk does not stoop forward. The
head is prevented from dropping on the
chest by the ligaments in the nape of
the neck.
That the upright is not its normal
position is easily shown by the fact
that man mods us he is falling asleep.
for as soon rs the controlling nervous
force is deadened the head drops for
ward by its own weight, only to be
pulled back into position again with
Jerk when the brain becomes sud
denly aware of an unusual attitude.

Tar will stop the cough, heal and
strengthen the lungs and preveat
pneumonia. La Grippe coughs
yield quickly to the wonderful cura-
tive qualities Of Foley's Honey and
Tar. There is nothing else Just as
good. '-Anders 4 Philipp.

No Gearing, No Friction.

The usual size Of the shell Of an oys-
ter is three to five inches, but away
back in tertiary times there We're oys-
tiers In California that had shells thir-
teen inches long and seven or eight
inches wide. The animal and shell
doubtless weighed fifteen or twenty
pounds. since the shells We're five inch
cs thick. These oysters have long been
extinct, but their fossil shells are album
dant. If the oyster farmer could pro-
duce individuals of such enormous size
now and the favor We're good in pro-
portion to its size we would be most
fortunate. III that case single oyster
would be enough for one stew at the

THE OCTOPUS

Its Terrible Army of Suckers and Its
Powerful Jaws.
Both the octopus and the cuttIefish
have arms that are clothed with n
formidable array of suckers which are
wonderful pieces of mechanism. When
the sucker comes into contact with an
object the central piston, having pre-
Niously been raised SO as to complete
ly fill the cavity of the sucker, is ut
once withdrawn and perfect vac
uum produced, explaining the great te-
nacity with which the suckers cling.
They number upward of 100 pairs to
each arm Of the octopus, and once they
obtain a grip on the victim. unless the
arm Is actually torn away from the
body of the octopus, 1t is practically
impossible for its prey to disentangle
itself.
III addition to these suckers the octo-
pus has powerful pair of jaws, shap-
ed like the beak of a parrot, behind
which is formidable armor plated
tongue used as rasping organ. The
octopus will attack and kill crabs and
Holsters OF considerable size, ripping
open the body by means of Its powerful
jaws and devouring the contents. In
spite of being creature of such awe
inspiring looks the octopus has several
enemies in various species of whales,
sharks and conger cells. In fact, the
latter are particularly fond of devour-
ing the smaller octopuses.
Conger cells hunt for the octopus and,
when found, proceed to browse on its
limbs. The octopus tries to hug the
slippery, Shiny conger tight, but in
vain, and, finding its limbs growing
less, discharges its ink in the face OF
the foe and under cover of the turbid
water beats a hasty retreat. 1t is to
escape the too pressing attention of
its foes that the octopus possesses the
power of changing its color to CORE
spond with that of its surroundings.
