Carelessness in Handling Medicines
Patients have frequently placed Il
bottle of medicine to their lips and ia
ken a draught of its contents in dark
room, under the impression that there
was ''only one bottle upon that shelf"
when In reality some other member of
the family had placed other bottles
there. In other instances a wife rls-
ing in the night to give some medicine
to her husband or child has picked up
the wrong bottle in the dim light and
administered a fatal dose.
Pneumonia.-The prevalence with
which this most deadly virulent bac-
terial disease shall attain, will depend
chiefly upon the kind of care people
take Of themselves. Those who strive
to keep in good general health need
have little fear Of 1t. Drunkenness is
foremost among the habits of mankind
that aid in the propagation Of pneu-
monia. Over-eating Is another form of
intemperance which makes people fall
its easy victims. Failure to battle fire.
quently and breathing through the
mouth increases the liability Of con-
tracing the disease. Overheated
houses are the cause of many cases
If the rule were generally adopted of
never letting the temperature of the
house or office exceed 70 degrees much
less pneumonia would result
Smallpox-This loathsome disease
often makes it's appearance with cold
weather. The following is said to be
cure: One grain solid extract of
digltalis, one grain sulphate of zinc
one-half teaspoonful Of sugar, four
ounces of water. Dissolve the digitalis
and the zinc separately, then com.
pound the prescription. 1t is of the
utmost importance that the solid ex.
tract of digitalis be used. Some drug
glsts say there Is no such thing and
use the liquid, but this Is valueless
The liquid does not produce the re-
suits. The dose Is one teaspoonful ev.
cry hour for twelve consecutive hours
for adults; for a child under ten one
half teaspoonful hourly for twelve
hours and for an infant ten drops ev.
cry hour for the twelve hours. The
face may be bathed with 1t thus pre-
venting scars. The digitalis kills the
germ of the disease and the zinc puri
fes the blood. The preparation must
be taken with care, as 1t Is very DOW,
erful.

How the Canadian Indian Woes His
Sweetheart.

AS there are no coy corners in a
wigwam. 1t is the. Saulteaux custom
for maiden to converse with her suit
or under cover of blanket, which
screens the young lovers from the gaze
of the other occupants Of the lodge.
But old Moo koom, The Knowing One,
was well able to judge from the gen
eral contour of the blanket Just how
the courtship was progressing. Early
in the evening the blanket always
hung in a dignified way, as though
draped over two posts set little
apart. Later however, the posts often
lost their balance and swayed about in
such manner as to come dangerously
near collision; and, If Noo-koom did
not cough or poke the fire, the blanket
would sometimes show that one sup
port had given way. One night, when
Noo-koom woke up from II nap, she
found that both the supports of the
blanket were in immediate danger of
collapsing. Selling the headquarters
Of a frozen fox by the ankles, she
leaped up and belabored the blanket
so severely that 1t lost no time in re-
covering its proper form.
In few days Noo-koom became
convinced that the lovers had sat I'M

long enough. Now they must "sit to-

THE SAVING MOTIVE.

American Young Peoples Methods Of
Entertaining Are Saved by 1t.
The girls are missionaries daugh-
tiers. Their parents are Americans,
but Helen and Belle were born In Asia,
and never visited the land of their
fathers and mothers until a year or so
ago. They have been attending school,
but they have seen a good deal Of So
cial life, too, and now that they are
preparing to return to the East, their
friends have been curious to know
what impressions they are taking
home.
II wasn't pleased at first" says
Helen, the elder and more sedate. The
first thing 1 noticed here was the ex-
traordinary habit the young men have
Of forcing food upon one. 1t seemed
that their idea of entertaining a girl
was to buy her something to eat. Any
little outing at any time Of day was
made an excuse for luncheon, and If
you consented to lunch, you were ex-
pected to eat enough for full dinner.

Of entertainment the girls offered their

List of Grand and Petit Jurors Sc
lected and drawn for service for the
18th Judicial District Court in and for
the parish of Lafayette, La, at the
session beginning Monday, September
II. l9O6.
Charlevoix county herald., 1906-09-15

And no mere man knows what 1t II
to be a woman.
Charlevoix county herald., 1906-09-15

second husband was wealthy farmer
of foreign descent, who, it was
charged, insisted on making her do
the chores, milk the cows and even
work in the hayfelds.
This was more than she would stand
and she sued him for divorce year
ago. She got the divorce and ali
mony amounting to half his estate,
netting her fortune Of possibly $780,
900.
AS for Harding, the shoe, it appears,
fitted the other foot and he was twice
defendant in divorce courts upon
charges of unreasonable temper. He
also was divorced about year ago.
In fact, one of the remarkable fea-
lures of this strange romance is that
Harding and Mrs. Engelbrecht met
for the first time in the divorce court
room of Judge A. II. McVey. Hard
ing and his witnesses were obliged
to wait until Mrs. Engelbrecht OBJ
tanned her decree before their case
could proceed
AS Harding sat there he was moved
to pity by her tale. When he found
that his efforts in resisting his wife's
suit were fruitless he accepted the
situation.
Terms of the Contract.
Not a month elapsed, it is said,
before Harding sought out the woman
who had told the sorrowful tale on
the witness stand. He told her that
he believed she could curb his temper
and she said she thought she might
take chance. But she insisted that
the contract be drawn up and it was
signed before they were married two
months ago. Following is the curious
contract:
Know All Men by These Presents: That
we, by the terms of this agreement, made
this Sd day of May, A. d. 1906 between
Isaiah +. Harding of the county of Dali
las and state of Iowa, party of the first
part, and Isabella Englebrecht of the
county of Polk and state of Iowa of the
second part do hereby bind ourselves by
this covenant to carry out entire and in
detail the terms of this solemn obliga-
ton, so that we, as man and wife, may
dwell together in peace and harmony so
long as this said covenant shall be in
force, to wit: From the said Sd day of
May, A. d. 1905, until the Sd day of May,
A. d. 1921, a period of fifteen years.
