Eat Meals in Chunks An the Arctic
Regions.
Dwellers In cold countries have no
Christmas. Not only do they have no
Christmas, but neither do they have
New Years day nor any Fourth of July
or Thanksgiving or any Saturday half
holiday or any Sunday. One day Is
just like another to them, going
through the same routine day after
day, and they soon lose track of the
years that mark their ages.
A mother ties knot in the drawing
string of her trousers when her child is
q year old. and if the string is strong
enough to last three or four years. she
knows its age for that length Of time !:
but when the string is worn out and
thrown away. the record goes with it.
While there are no feast days, any day
may be a feast day, because that is de-
pendent upon the supply Of food. The

immigration to the United States is
expected to reach 100000 this year.
Good! And for two reasons. Big in
tux means that America is prosperous
or they wouldn't come. Secondly, we
need all the hands we can get. So
long as we keep out the diseased, the
paupers, the avowed enemies Of govern
ment and those who look like victims
or instruments Of crime or vice, let
them come. The American colonies
were founded by immigrants. The con-
tinent has been subdued and the wilder
ness made to blossom as the rose" by
Immigrants and their descendants.

advanced, but with the course Of time
it became apparent that while seeds or
other foreign bodies occasionally were
found in the infamed appendix they
were by no means regularly present,
and that even when they were present
they did not invariably produce trouble
While In other respects the disease is
now very thoroughly understood, Its
causes are still good deal OF myS-
terry. 1t Is, of course, difficult to prove
that appendicitis is more common now
than it used to be. One docs not know
Just how much to allow for the imper-
feet diagnosis Of the old days. But
it is commonly believed that there has
been a marked actual increase in the
last generation, for which some change
in the general conditions Of life must
be responsible, If it can only be To-
Gated. At any rate, while some cases
of the disease are known to have been
excited by blows upon the abdomen
and others by acute Indigestion due to
easily traceable causes, there are 9th
ers in which if acute indigestion pre-
coded the attack the origin of the In
digestion itself is a mystery. A recent
theory, advanced by an English physi-
clan In the columns of the London
Lancet, is that the use Of boric acid
as a food preservative may have much
to do with the increase of the disease.
1t is not contended that boric acid In
any quantity is hurtful, but rather that
a very large amount OF 1t on one dish,
or the presence of smaller amounts in
several dishes partaken OF together,
will produce a condition in which bac-
terra are stimulated to do deadly work.
The Lancet editorially takes the view
that the theory Is worthy of investiga-
ton, and it may be expected that ex-
periments will be made definitely with
this end in view. Prof. Wiley's tests
showed that eight grains Of boric acid
a day was too much for the average
man to take with impunity. As the
case stands, it amounts to little more
than this, that the use of boric acid
and the increase of Appendicitis have
occurred in the same period, and that
boric acid in exceptionally large guam
titles can cause a condition favorable
to appendicitis. It is an hypothesis
awaiting proof, not a theory as yet
entitled to acceptance.

GAINED 81 POUNDS
Persistent Ansemia Cured by DR.
Williams Pink Pills After Other
Remedies Had Failed.

Remedies Had Failed.
"When began taking DIR. Williama'
Pink Pills" says Mrs. Nathaniel Field,
of st. Adams, Somerset county, Maine,
81 was the palest, most bloodless person
you could imagine. My tongue and
gums were colorless end my fingers and
ears were like wax. I had two doctors
and they pronounced my trouble an@mia.
Ihad spells of vomiting, could not eat,
in fact, did not dare to, had such dis.
tress after eating. My stomach was filed
with gas which caused me awful agony.
The backache suffered was at times
almost unbearable and the least exertion
made my heart beat so fast that l could
hardly breathe. But the worst of all was
the splitting neuralgia headache which
never leftme for seven weeks. About this
time had had several numb spells. My
limbs would be cold and without any
feeling and the most deathly sensations
would come over me.
Nothing had helped me until began
taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills, III fact,
had grown worse every day. After I
had taken the pills a short time I could
see that they were benefting me and
one morning l awOke entirely free from
pain. The distress after eating disap-
peared and i'll three weeks I could eas
anything I wanted and suffer no incon-
venience. also slept soundly. have
taken several boxes of the pills and have
gained III weight from 100 to 154 pounds
and am perfectly well now"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills cure an8mia
because they actually make new blood.
For rheumatism, indigestion, nervous
headaches and many forms of weakness
they are recommended even if ordinary
medicines have failed. They are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on
receipt of price, so cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50, by the DIR. Williams

Every little while somebody takes an
overdose OF headache powders and dies
and then everybody denounces head
ache powders. That is not fair to the
headache powders, whose number is
legion and whose principle is Identical.
Headache powders-or most of them
operate 70 cure headache by slowing
ND the hearts action. 1t follows, OF
course, that If people take too many
of them the heart will go too slow and
finally stop altogether. But people can
do themselves harm by taking too much
OF any remedy or even Of food and
drink. The trouble, therefore. is not so
much with the remedy as with the user
or It. That IS to say, people would be
better off If they would let drugs alone
altogether, but If they do use drugs
they should not abuse them and then
blame the drugs.

school for Smiling.

"You would be surprised" said a
teacher, "could you but know how
large a part the smile plays in real
life. In these days it is the woman
who smiles!
"Once upon a time it was the wom'
an who frowned; and there were
periods, in the Jane Eyre days, when
to wear an imperious expression was
the real thing. But that was long age
In these days it is the girl with a
laugh.
Even queens laugh. In the latest
picture of Queen Amelia Of Portugal
that royal lady wears smile SO deep
that it will not come off, while Queen
Alexandra has been caught by the
camera smiling
'sThere is a distinct art in smiling.
The eyes must smile and the whole
face must light up"

Indian Summer.

Authorities differ as to the period of
Indian summer" and there are some
who deny there is such thing at all,
just as there are iconoclasts who deny
the story of William Tell and the cpl
sode of Washington's Ratchet. These
doubling Thomases can be dismissed
with contempt Indian summer is too
poetic an idea to be trampled out IN
der the iconoclastic hoof. 1t is a verify
that everybody believes in. Just when
this charming climatic interval occurs
is a doubt that adds to its mystic
charm
October, with its gorgeous dyes, is
generally credited as the month In
which Indian summer occurs, but in
reality it is in November that nature
pauses in her round Of seasons and
presents to man that peculiar loneliness
so enhancing to the senses, a loneliness
and charm that have made Indian sum-
mer popular romance.-Newark Adj

Perhaps the most thrilling episode In
the late Sam Jones career as an evan
gelist was on the occasion Of his visit
to a disreputable town on the gulf
coast. On Sans arrival in town he an
noUnced his purpose to clean it out or
up. Thereupon he was waited upon
by a committee of citizens, headed by
the Mayor, who told the evangelist that
he had better not try, enforcing their
advice by swinging big stick. When
the dust had subsidized Sam had the
stick and the field for evangelistic
work was clear Sans Christianity
was muscular.

J. III. Withrow, an Oregon farmer re-
siding on Anderson Greek, has brought
a phial Of native gold to Ashland which
was secured from the craws of five
tame ducks which were slaughtered for
the Withrow family dinner last Sun
day. The value of the gold, which
was extra fine, amounted to nearly 81.
Some of it was in small wirelike pieces,
but there was one nugget weighing not
less than 40 cents in virgin gold.
Withrow's farm is situated in the
Wagner Greek foothills, in a gold-bear-
ing section of the country where there
has been more or less mining and pros
pecting for many years, but there are
