Elixir Of Youth.

In former times elder flowers were

to preserve their own beauty and
youth. According to the seventeenth
century prescription the elder flowers
were to be gathered on midsummer
day. powdered and PIT into borage
water, which was to be drunk daily for

One Side of the Mouth.


Did you ever meet a stranger who
talked from one side Of his mouth,
usually in an undertone and with his
eyes wandering while talking? The
mans manner is not an indicat ion that
he Is weighing his words or has some
thing important to tell. It is almost a
sure sign that he has spent years In
jail. This manner of talking is ac5
CURED in prison, where conversation.
among prisoners is prohibited and
where the men have to talk out of one
side Of their mouths in order to prevent
the keeper from noticing that converse
ton is going on. The habit sticks to
the convicts for years after they get
out.-New York Press.

FIRE and Water.

Why does water put out fire? Water
reduces the temperature Of the flame
below the point Of ignition; therefore 1t
cannot burn. Water does not smoth-
er the flames even when the burning
brand Is completely immersed in a
tank Of water, because the first con-
tact puts out the fire -that is, reduces
the temperature of the flame below
the point Of ignition.

IMPORTANCE Of
REGISTRATION

"The trouble with the Republicans in
this state has been that the young men
have not taken as much interest in regis
tration, and the working Of the party as
the young men OF the other party"
So spoke General Charles r. Brayton to
the members of the Aldrich Battery,
which held smoker last evening in Fall
staff hall
Young men," he continued, I'VE need
you In this work OF registration The
system formerly in use has been changed
and you do not have TO pay your poll tax
before you can vote, but can exercise that
privilege IL you pay your tax or not You
should pay IT,, however, as the money Is
used TO help the school fund
THE old system OF registration made II
possible to pad up the voting lists with
the names OF dead and moved-away per-
sons, who were recorded as voting eacn
election
I'm the Fourth ward there were IS per-
sons whose names were voted on In tnis
manner
Our present system requires every man
to go to the city hall. and though IL may
seem hardship, IL prevents the padding
OF the voting lists and the tying of your
vote by dead mans name.
The Republicans have been In control
OF the state, except for year or so. and
II has built many armories and taken
good care of the militia. There Is iine
armory for all the commands being ccTl-
pleted now
las a former batteryman, I can say I
am in favor OF the Machine Gun Battery
and the other batteries, and any help
can give in the changing OF pieces or
equipment will be gladly accorded"

much merrymaking

General Brayton was introduced by

much better.
Harry c. Patterson followed General
Brayton with characteristic remarks.
