While 1t is a common notion that shop
girls and other young things are the main
consumers of pie and other indigestible
foods In restaurants and that older folk
eat the substantals, quite the reverse is
true, according to the manager of an
eating place in the shopping district.
Nothing but pie of the good, old fash
Toned sort will suit middle aged women
customers while roast beef sandwiches,
salads, fruits and eggs are the diet of the
girls, he said. in fact the former con-
sumo more pastry than all the young
girls and men combined
zone day a friend demonstrated with
one pie eater concerning her particular
fondness for the supposedly indigestible
article of diet and she looked with the
most unutterable scorn upon the ques-
toner and said:
Well. I've eaten pie three times a day
for nearly sixty years and never had SrT
attack of indigestion In my life, so 1 don't
see why I should spend much thought on
my stomach at this late day
One sometimes hears the remark that
what you like can't hurt you. This Is
mistake, so far as certain things are cot

this summer there have been cases with

electric fans.
Some of my patients have lNughed at
me when I lay their rheumatism to this
cause and declare that 1t was not the
case" he said. at is positively criminal
to sit down before one of these fans when
the body Is perspiring.

they will do more than fan the old air

This is another valuable winter plar
that should be grown more extensive
ly in our southern states. Vetches ar
sometimes called cowpeas. Vetch see
may be grown with any of the white
grains mentioned and the combination
makes fine hay as well as pasture. How
ever. do not expect both hay and pastur
from the same field; IL pasture is wante
sow for pasture and If hay is wante
sow for hay. Perhaps the best combina
ton for hay would be the winter oat 0
winter barley and vetch.
The reader can obtain much more yalu
able information about vetches from tn
Alabama and Mississippi experiment sta
tIons. and l would advise that ever,
reader send to these stations for thei
bulletins on vetches. as we cannot trea
the subject in full detail in newspape

grasses that should be grown in the win

about some Of these.

the causes Of the most disastrous floods
in the history of the Puget sound re-

Somebody Got 1t.

Last Sunday evening about $50,
while Frank Carpenter, who is liv-
ing on the home farm about half
mile west of town, was returning
home, he saw someone lighting
matches around his barn. He i'm
mediately ran to his neighbor, Mr..
A. L. Davis, and borrowed shot
gun and when he arrived in front of
the house he could plainly see the
thief going over the fence with his
hands full of chickens. Frank fired,
and the thief escaped, but left one
of his gloves and chicken that was
killed by the shot. Now everybody
knows the nice territory covered
by shot gun with cartridges filled
with No. 5 shot and DO doubt the
thiePs fingers began to smart and
ache and he pulled off his glove to
find the reason. The farmers around
this neighborhood are all supplied
with ammunition and heavy artillery
and if this chicken thieving keeps
up somebody's to get hurted.'
That's all.-Earlville Phoenix.

There is more Catarrh in this sec.
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurabIe. For great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease and there
fore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
featured by T. ]. Cheney & Co, To-
ledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a

STEAMERS CRASH
IN PUGET SOUND
Forty-one Persons Reported Missing
and Are Undoubtedly
Drowned.

Seattle, WASH, Nov. l9.-The steam
er Dix, Captain p. Lennon, bound
from Seattle to Port Blakeley with
passengers, sank two miles north Of
Alki point shortly after o'clock at
night, having collided with the steam
ship jeanne, Captain P. II. Mason, Of
the Alaska Coast company.
Forty-one passengers and members
Of the crew of the Dix are missing and
thirty-nine were saved. The Dix is a
total wreck. The Jeanne was not in
jnred in the least and no member of
her crew was lost The master Of the
Dix was saved. The collision occurred
while the sound was almost as smooth
as millpond and after the boats had
been steaming within sight Of each
other for a quarter of an hour.
The Jeanie was backing when she
collfded with the Dix and the impact
was very slight. The Dix was struck
abaft of amidships on the stalboard
side. She listed heavily to port for a
brief period, righted herself, then sank
stern first. There was hardly time to
launch lift RATS or boats before she
was almost entirely submerged. Pas
sengers jumped from the decks into
the water; women screamed an officers
and men called orders that could hard,
~ be heard above the din.
The passengers from the Dix who
could swim made their way to the
sides of the Jeanie and We're dragged
aboard. The Jeanne was not moved
until after all who had reached her had
been hauled aboard. Then she cruised
about, picking up several who had
managed to stay above water 1t was
after 10 O'clock before the Jeanne left
the scene OF the catastrophe and
steamed to the Virginia street dock

just laugh at it and let it go; when
