Queer Ways of Canton.

Just at night, if you happen to be
within the gates Of Canton, you will
witness one of the little performances
that is supposed to deceive the prowllng
spirits of the night bent upon evil in
tent, the while conciliating them should
they penetrate the deception, says the
Chautauquan. Each little and big shop
possesses a miniature fireplace built In
to the side of the entrance. Prayers,
printed on rice paper, form the fuel
with which to offer up incense to the
''bogy man." who is supposed to make
the nocturnal visits.
Beholding the smoke, he Is supposed
to assume that no n lives within and
therefore passes by, but should he
"catch on" and stop to investigate he
finds that the prayer papers on the al
tar bear inscriptions %attrlbuting to him
such virtues and m~agnanimity that his
wrath Is appeased and he turns from
his evil intent.

Will Not Offset the Ill Effects OF
Coffee h One Cannot Digest 1t
A farmer says:
1T was not from liquor or tobacco
that for ten years or more I suffered
from dyspepsia and stomach trouble 4;
they were caused by the use of coffee
until l got so bad l had to give up
coffee entirely and almost give up eat.
Ing. There were times when l could
eat only boiled milk and bread, and
when l went to the field to work / had
to take some bread and butter along
to give me strength.
" doctored with doctors and took al
most everything 1 could get for MY
stomach in the way of medicine, but If
I got any better 1t only lasted a little
while until l was almost a walking
skeleton.
One day l read an adj for Postum
n told my wife I would try 1t, and
as to the following facts I will make
affidavit before any Judge:
II quit coffee entirely and used
Postum in its place. 1 have resained
my health entirely and can eat any
thing that Is cooked to eat. I have in
creased in weight until now T weigh
more than I ever did; I nave moi taken
any medicine for my stomach since I
began using Postum. Why, I believe
Postum will almost digest an iror
wedge.
MY family would stick to coffee at
first, but they saw the effects 1t had
on me-, and when they were feeling
bad they began to use Postum, One at

1t is to be observed, however, that
though the absolute number OF immigrants
Is greater for the last period than for
either of the others it is a contribution TO
a much larger resident population. The
census of 1850 gave a population of 3d.
1856, that Of 1880 gave 80, 155, 7S3 and
that of 1900 gave 76,3O3,3S7. Hence the
fresh foreign element introduced in the
early sos was greater in proportion to
the population than the larger immigra-
ton of later years. 1t was so great that

of the political phenomena of the times.
The increase of numbers in recent years
is hardly so remarkable, therefore, as the
change in the character Of the immigra-
ton. Until the present current began the
big immigration had been German, Brit
ish and Irish, and the s~candinavians as
a whole made a relatively large showing.
In 1905 the immigration from Austria
Hungary was 275,693; Italy, 221,479;
Russia, 1S4,S97; United Kingdom, 49,
147; Denmark, Norway and Sweden, co..
645; German Empire, 40,574.

FRISCO FIELD FOR WORKERS.
City Needs Artisans and Laborer
in All Trades.


San Francisco is arising from its ashes
with a rapidity that surprises all and
building is progressing on all sides, &C
cording to a dispatch. The labor situa-
ton is exciting much interest and inquiry
and the California promotion committee,
after careful investigation and confer
ences with employers and employees, has
ascertained that in all trades except the
building trades the demand is fully sup
piled with the one exception of ordinary
laborers, several thousand of whom are
in immediate demand for railway con-
struction and debris removal.
In the building trades conditions are
entirely different. Mechanics are needed
in all departments of the building indus
try, principally plumbers, electrical work
ere, gas and electric fixture hangers, brick
layers, cement workers, bridge and strucr
tural iron workers, architectural iron
workers, plasterers, fathers, carpenters,
sheet metal workers and elevator construc-
tors.

of Great Immigration.

The present tide of immigration is much
the greatest in the history of the country.
1t is impossible to say whether it has
reached its highest point as yet, but the
arrivals for the last fiscal year exceeded
chose of any previous year, and the fig
ures for the ive-year period just closed
are nearly half as large again as those
for the five-year period that ranks second
in the returns.
Three notable groups of years present
themselves in a review of the govern
ment's tables. Following the Irish fam
inc and the European political disturb
ances of 1913, there is this series:

The next group is coincident with the
revival after the panic of 1873. At that
time the German immigration reached it's
highest figure and made a record that was
not passed by any other nationality until
1905. The immigration from the British
Isles was also very large. For five years,
beginning with the fiscal year ending June
30, 1880, the showing is:

FIRE RECORD.
Mill at sioux Falls.

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Oct, 21.-(Spe-
cial Telegram)-Shortl before 4 O'Clock
this morning fire was discovered in the
four-story frame mill building of the
Fulton Milling company, situated in the
heart of Sioux Falls. Efforts 20 save the
building were unavailing and the struc-
ture and it's contents were completely de-
stroyed, entailing an estimated loss Of
about $4,000.
William Fulton, the principal stock
holder of the company, is temporarily out
of the city, so no authentic information
concerning the amount of the insurance
could be secured, but it is thought the
loss is fully covered by insurance.
The fire is believed to have been caused
by spontaneous combustion of the dust
in the upper portion of the mill A fierce
northwest wind was blowing, and, had IT
not been for the fact that a heavy rain
was falling, IL would have been a diGicult

communicated to other buildings by flying
