Whalers and Eskimos driven out OF
their course by storms have reported
that body of land was there. The
character of the land is not like that
of Greenland 1t is not covered with
glaciers. The amount of precipita-
ton is not sufficient, believe to cause
snow fields.
ut must be for the most part a
desolate country of wastes OF bare

Perhaps we may find little moss.

Our chances of getting to the coun-
try are good. Every summer there is
open water in the proximity. Whalers

NEW FOOD LAW

for Just what II is, and not try to kill 1t
by a heavy tax. Manufacturers some
times try to force measures in their
own interests, but contrary to the in
terests of the people and the labor
trust is always active to push through
bills drafted in the interest of that
trust but directly contrary to the in
terests of the people as whole. Wit
ness the anti-injunction bill by which
labor unions seek TO tie the hands or
our courts and prevent the issue OF
any order to restrain the members OF
that trust from attacking men or de-
stroying property. Such bill is per-
haps the most infamous insult to our
courts and the common people ever
laid before Congress and the Represen-
tatives In Congress must be held to a
strict accountability for their acts re-
lating thereto. But when bills come
before Congress that are drawn in the
interests Of all the people they should
receive the active personal support or
the people and the representatives be
instructed by the citizens. The Sena-
tors also should be written to and in
structed. If, therefore, you will re-
member your privilege and duty you
will at once-now-write to your Con-
gresham and Senator on this pure
food bill. Clip and enclose the copy
make business of following 1t through
the committee considering it. Urge

questing that they vote for it.

Effects Of Forests on Rivers.

At the recent meeting of the inter-
national navigation congress at Milan,
some interesting data were furnished
respecting the influence which the de-
struction of forests eXerts on the dis
charge of rivers. A summary of seven
important papers read at the congress
shows that it was allowed by all the
authors Of these papers that the re-
moval of forests. especially in hilly
countries, has a marked effect on the
water supply of the neighboring rivers,
Where deforestation has taken place
brooks have disappeared and small
rivers once furnishing power for mills
have ceased to be sufficient for this
purpose.-New York Herald.

Won Moltke's Taciturnity.

Count Won Moltke. the great Prus.
sian general, was a fine chess PLAYER
and once wished to try his strength
against a famous professional. A
match was arranged, but the profes.
sional was warned not to be talkative
as Moltke hated people who had a lot
to say. Whether Moltke overheard
the warning to the professional or not
is not told At any rate, the match
came off and the professional was
very careful not to utter a word. At
last, however, he took the liberty of
saying one ominous word, Mate"
Moltke rose, went to the door, opened
it, and before going out turned round
and said, COMPOUNDED chatterbox."

Doom of the Luncheon

When you go for long tramp do
not bother to take lunch with you.
Just put half dozen Jumps Of sugar
in your pocket and eat them when you
get tired and hungry. You will at
once find your strength and freshness
renewed. This is what DR.. Lee, pro.
fessor of physiology at Columbia uni.
versity, and author of several import.
ant works on the vital processes of
life, firmly asserts. Fatigue, according
to Prof Lee, is result of certain
chemical changes in the body, due to
muscular eXertion. Sugar, taken inter.
nally, arrests and prevents these
changes. The sugar, to be specific.
replenishes the carbohydrates that are
wasted by eXertion and causes the
fatigue due to this waste to disappear.

Kind of Bread.
The chestnut Is the wheat of Cor

of bread or polenta by the peasants
throughout the island. The chestnuts
are slowly dried over a small wood
fire and stored until required for
grinding. The mills are of the sim
plest construction, and consist of a
wooden water wheel whose axis turns
a milestone which brushes the shelled
chestnuts against fixed stone.
