Country life has it's drawbacks butit has great advantages which overcome them. True those who live in the country are 'rubes" and farmers and hayseeds3 to the cigarette smokers in town, but the boast of the business men in the world today is that they were born on the farm Take away the surre- anding evils that beset the young men or women on the threshold of life's journey in the city and substitute the helpful influence of nature and you fortify them for the Sterner walks of life The few things which they do rot know about table etiquette and when it is proper to leave two visiting cards and when only one, they will catch on much quicker than city boys and girls will learn to properly stroke the furnace and make good bread No boy or girl need be ashamed of living on the farm. for if they have taken advantage Of what it has offered they are well fortified for after life.

Bathing In Great Salt Lake is an unique
experience.
Flights OF steps lead down into the
water from the interminable Platform
along which the bath houses are situated
The water is quite shallow at first and
you find a rare enjoyment for a time in
wriggling your toes about in the salt that
forms the bottom in place OF accustomed
sand. You are obliged to wade out some
distance before you experience the pecu-
liar buoyancy OF the lake First. you feel
your feet trying TO swim out from under
you. You fird IL more and more difficult

yourself. Then you realize you are nom
sinkable. You can't sink if you want to-
Throw yourself on your back or sit down
or try to swim and you bob about Ike a
rocking chair IN a freshet You feel as
though you had been turned to cork. You
can't help looking al the phenomenon
subjectively. You don't see that there IS
anything peculiar about the water II
looks and feels like any other bathing
water-until you get some OF IT IN your
eyes or In your mouth. Then you wish
you hadn't come. Ocean water is sweet
in comparison In fact, the chemists tell
US IL is eight times less salty.
You can't drown In the lake by sinking,
but you can be suffocated TO death, which
is just about as uncomfortable and urde-
sirable. We found signs everywhere warn
ing us against being too ralkative or too
frolicsome IN the water.
When we came out we brought with us
large deposits Of salt on our skin. AS the
water evaporated we found ourselves COW

shower bath Of fresh water or a good
clothes brush can put you into fit condi-

The bishop Of Maryland was much inter-
ested in uplift work among the lowly, and
maintsined a school for neglected children
in one pf the poorer quarters of Baltimore.
Among the pupils was little girl, whose
free use of swear words" indicated la
mentable conditions IN the home circle. On
one of the bishops visits 10 the school the
teacher told him of this little girls per
sjstent use OF profanity, and asked him TO
talk TO her about IL. Later the good bish-
op c5lled the child to him, and, after putt-
ing her at ease by a few kind and fatherly

ALMOST BRINGS DEAD TO LIFE.
Apparatus for Resuscitating Persons
Apparently Dead

Apparently Dead
An apparatus for producing artificial
respiration has recently been devised
whereby in cases of suspended anima-
tion the action of the heart and lungs
can be renewed.
Professor George Poe the inventor OF
the apparatus does not insist that with
its use life can be brought back, but
claims. according to the Scieutiuc
American, that by artificial means APP
piled through the instrumentality OF
the respirator persons killed by as
phNNlation, poison or drowning can be
resusCitated that the death Of per-
sons under the influence Of anaesthet-
les while being operated upon can be
prevented, that its use viii prevent
infant asphyXia at birth; that a drunk
en- person can be sobe"ed in few min
utes; that persons electrocuted or
hanged-in the latter case where the
neck has not been broken-can be re-
vived, and that the freezing to death
Of Arctic explorers can be obviated
These results are accomplished by
stimulating normal respiration through
artificial means.

Her Apoiooy.

Little Ethel is usually sunshine and
sweetness embodied, but, with all her win
someness, she has a temper that often
results in disaster. She was playing with
her little neghbor one day recently when
a quarrel arose concerning a doll. Grace
held fast to the treasure and Ethel, unable
TO gain possession, suddenly turned and
left the imprint of her white teeth on the
plump little arm that encircled the doll.
Then, IN tempest Of tears and passion,
she rushed home and sohbed out her
story. A very serious talk was followed by
an unusually early bedtime for penance
and reflection, and the next morning a
small little girl crossed the street rather

One OF the greatest triumphs of

The growth of a tumor is so in
sidious that frequently its presence
is wholly unsupported until 1t is well

RABBIT SCALPS IN TRADE.
In Western Kansas They Are Ex-
changed fer Groceries.

From the Kansas City Star
Did you ever hear OF rabbit scalps
being rated as an article OF commerce
or as a medium of exchange in the
same manner as eggs and butter? out IN
Trcgo county Kansas, the county seat
of which is Wakeency, the merchants
pay cents each for rabbit scalps. nc
matter whether the unfortunate bun
ny" was full grown or not. w. J. Will
Jams who IS proprietor Of a grocery
store in Wakeeney, bought 2,S40 scalps
during the months Of March, April and
May this year. John Keraus, another
merchant Of the same place, bought
2160 scalps, while no merchant in the
little town paid for less than SOC
scalps,
The farmers ana ranchmen bring
rabbit scalps 70 the county stores along
with eggs and butter The grocer ac-
copts and counts them with no more
ado than il they We're so many eggs.
A few years ago Trego county, in the
hope of exterminating the troublesome
iackrabbits, decided to pay a bounty
of cents for rabbit scalps, the money
10 be paid whenever the scalps were
presented at the county treasurer's Of
fee Soon after men who had never
before been seen in Wal1eeney came
to the court house with big sacks of
scalps, Finally the county commits
sioners grew suspicious and II event
ually developed that certain residents
of ncighboring counties were taking
advantage of Trego's bounty law and
were bringing scalps from as far away
as fifty miles.
TO discourage this practice the coun-
~ decided to allow payment for scalps
not more often than every three
months Three months was a long
time TO wait. The hunters became inn
patient at the long delay. II remained
for the merchants TO solve the diff
Guilty. Accordingly Il was announced
through the columns of the weekly
papers that rabbit scalps would be tax
en az the grocery stores In exchange
for merchandise. provided the owner
OF the scalps would give his word tnat
they were taken from rabbits killed in
Trcgo county.
The plan proved n success. Instead
Of the farmers making g. weekly trip
TO the court house the merchants re-
ported every thrCe months at the corn
missioncrs' office and the bills were
allowed.
During the months OF March April
and May the total amount Of bin, az
lowed By thN comWi sioncrs for rabbi,
scalps was $5GS. IN otncr words Trego
