JUVENILE HABITS.

Many parents never will cor
rect the little bad habits of their
children without nagging. Soms
of them go on the principle that
whatever child does is wrong
and must be rebuked. The result
is that the lives of many little
folks are made miserable through
having to travel between bristle
of don't and "stops.''
Science, however, has come to
the rescue of the youngsters in at
least one line of their torment. A
dispatch lately received from In
dianapolis reads as follows:
prof. A. G. Pohlman of Indi-
ana university read a paper be-
fore the Indiana Academy of Sci
ence meeting held here today.
Parents make a mistake
when they say, Johnny, stop
looking cross-eyed or your eyes
will grow that way, said Prof
Pohlman. johnny is doing the
best thing possible for his eyes.
He is giving them the power of
near vision. The practice should
be encouraged among children. ;"
Whether any other juvenile &C.
centricities and idiosyncrasies are
capable of similar defense is not
at present clear But Johnny and
Susie will unquestionably be very
grateful to any good, kind profes-
sor of some ology or other who
rises in his pedagogic place and
declares that children ought to be
allowed to grow up just as they
feel inclined.
Usually an occasional good-na-
tured and instructive talk with
the children of the household on
the subject of good manners and
sanitary behavior will work all
needful reforms. Unless the child
is exceptionally obdurate and
willful, this sort of correction is
more effective than the persistent
checking and reproving that OBJ
tain in many homes. Washington

THE EFFORT of the Ava
lanche to claim credit for the Sho-
shone decree is such mild affair
as to scarcely require an answer.
No one who knows Major DeLan
would question his. interest in the
matter; neither does anyone deny
that Mr.. DeLan wrote a letter to
the company. Some correspond
ence also passed between the COM
pany and the town officials, but
these were of little consequence.
The Post stated and can prove
that the decree as granted was al
ready prepared before the meet
ing of the Glenwood board of
trade of November 2S and that no
official action of the board nor
anything said or done by the Av-
alanche were at all responsible
for the decree which protects
Glenwod against any possible di-
version of the waters of the
Grand river. That s all.

AN OPEN CONFESSION,

If it is true that ian open con-
fession is good for the soul, - then
Neighbor Holmes did good thing
by admitting Saturday evening
that the reason, or at least, one of
the reasons, why he broke with
Senator Taylor is that the senator
would not champion his efforts to
evade the payment of a bill.
Now the Post cares nothing for
Senator Taylor and his political
ambitions. We only wanted to
know wherein the senator is
worse now than during all these
years when the Avalanche has
been boosting him. Those who
have watched the senator's ca
reer have not observed any pro-
nounced or sudden evidences of
degradation and do not believe
that the gentleman is either very
much better or worse than he has
been for many years.
But here is one of Holmes rea-
sons for breaking with the sena-
tor, and we presume others will
be forthcoming in due course of
time:
o 1t is well that the Glenwood Q
o Post has taken up the fight for Q
o Senator Taylor. For ten years o
o or more the agreeable person Q
@ ality of that individual has Q
o kept us from finding out his Q
. true political character. The o
. whole difficulty is that at one Q
% time few months ago our wa Q
y ter and light was shut off. Up Q
. to and including that week it Q
o was agreeable to hear the SEN o
ator declare that the gentle Q
man with yellow breeches and Q
his blood-sucking corporation, 9
o the Glenwood Light and Q
Water company, should be Q
o chucked into the Grand river Q
o breeches and all. Imagine the 9
jar it gave us when arranging Q
y to have Senator Taylor as an 9
. attorney to find him closeted Q
@ with the yellows sometimes 9
Q twice a day. After few days Q
Q of this we found that Senator g
q Taylor was corporation dy- 9

HOT SPRINGS. AND RADIUM

Some time ago the GlenwoOd
Post printed several articles on
the subject of radium in connec-
ton with the presence of hot
springs. Science has discovered
that where hot water is found
flowing from the earth, there also
may be found deposits Of radium.
Here is field for investigation,
and investigation there will be.
Several scientists have their eyes
on Glenwood, and a thorough ex-
animation of the rocks is to be
made.
The following article dealing
with the same important subject
is taken from the Grand Encamp.
ment Herald:
For many years the scientists
have been at a loss to account for
some of the phenomena displayed
at the various hot springs through
out of the country. Even the fact
of high temperature was some
what mystifying, while the main
tenance of the heat at a certain
point, neither increasing nor di-
minishing with the years, was be-
yond understanding and seeming
ly utterly incompatible with the
theory of internal fires. The fact
that curative properties are shown
which cannot be duplicated by
water artificially prepared and
heated to like temperature, con-
tanning exactly the same chemical
elements as analysis shows these
spring waters to hold, makes a
battling puzzle and forms base
for all sorts of wild speculations
and impossible theories.
Now comes one of Wyoming's
scientists with the simple and al
together plausible theory that
both heat and curative properties
are the result of contact on the
part of the water with large bod
les of radium. This metal was dis
covered some years ago by
French savant and has startled
the scientific world with its unique
qualities. 1t is capable of produc-
ing and radiating heat with APP
parently no loss or diminution,,
and its curative powers have been

GREAT LIVE STOCK SHOW.

In Denver last January a splen-
did exhibition of all kinds of live
stock was given, and the next one
of its kind promises to be better
still, Notwithstanding the croakers
who are complaining about hard
times. The coming exposition
will be held January 90 to %.
The Denver Republican says:
$50 rapidly have the entries
been coming in from all parts of
the Rocky mountain country that
the management of the show has
been i'll a quandary where to put
all the exhibits. 1t has been de-
cided to make some additions to
the grounds. Orders for the cree
ton of stable $50 X 60 feet have
been given and work on the build
ing already has been begun. The
new building will contain about
300 stalls 1t will be perfectly en-
closed and will be an ideal place
in which to show much of the fine
stock that will be in Denver for
the exposition.
Another thing which the man
agement of the show has decided
upon for the comfort of the visit
ors to the stockyards during the
week is to cover the big stadium
and show ring with canvas toy
and provide heat There has been
some complaint made in past
years over the failure to heat the
big show building, but this year
with the new stadium under cover
and well heated there will be no
room for the kickers. Stalls for
the accommodation of the eXhlbi-
ton animals will be built beneath
the stadium, and about 200 head
of fine stock will be housed there.
The big brick barns will hold 200
more and every stall at the yards
will be filled when the doors are
thrown open to the public.
The greatest stock show ever
held in the western country is
now assured for Denver said
Secretary Fred P. johnson, as he
went through bunch of entries
that had come in the last mail.
This is just sample of the way
that entries are coming in. They
are surprise to me. OF course, I
expected a big show, but we know
that it will be bigger and better
than anything ever seen hereto
fore in Denver. Breeders of fine
cattle and other live stock have
awakened to the Importance Of
the Denver show and what it
means to them to be represented
here. 1t is with them no longer a
question of entering stock; rather
it is question of "can | get room
for my stock ?"

GIVE THE CHILDREN CANDY.

AT its worst, candy is not half
so dangerous as hash, soup out of
stock pot, bread pudding, or any
other of the sacred mysteries
wrought out of stale and decaying
odds and ends, which are worship
ped by many housekeepers, says
ID. Woods Hutchinson, in the
Christmas Woman's Home Com
panion. The substitution of starch
for butter or cream, to give body
to the cheaper creams and pastes
while very disagreeable, is abso-
lutely harmless, and like the use
of rancid butter, or even cheaper
fats such as suet and lard. will
promptly reveal itself to the un-
blunted palate. In fact, candy is
peculiarly protected from many
adulterations and dangers by the
very delicacy and purity of the
flavor demanded of it.
AT one time arsenic was said TO
be used to give the green color to
the cheaper grades of candy, but
it was never common and has
passed out of use entirely since
the introduction of aniline dyes
To sum up, candy, when eaten
in moderate amounts and toward
the close of or shortly after a
meal, is harmless and often ben
eficial addition to our diet.
While liking for it is perfect.
ly natural and wholesome. an ex-
cessive craving is generally sign
of disease. Those young ladies
who are said to live chiefly upon
candy and pickles do not owe

but to some definite morbid con.
dition, most generally based upon
a lack of proper exercise in the

should be corrected by proper hy-
gienic or medical means, and then
their normal appetite for more
substantial food will return. Fail

Any Bloody Robber" would have laughed him to scorn had he ventured to so talk of his aspirations to be a nat uralist. But there was something in the old mans face that made him feel sure he would find sympathy. He seemed to understand so well.
 Benny talked on and on without think ing of the time. until the lengthening shadows warned him to make haste toward home.
 Goodbye, sir," he said to the kindly old man Then he hesitated. "Would you mind very much if visited you again some time? I'll come alone. you know," he added hurriedly. r- Seeing that the old man did not re- ply. he said in apology:
 You see. sir. we both like to be in the mountains. away from people"
 He did not finish, for a pained look crossed the face of the old man.
 'I beg your pardon. sir. didn't mean to disturb you. Goodbye" and Benny hurried to 50.
  his Same kindly tone; "I shall be glad to have you come this way again. Per haps I maybe able to assist you in one or two little ways."
 Benny said nothing to any one about the hermit. but he soon formed the habit of often climbing to the little cabin.
 The old man talked to him as no one had ever talked to him before, taught him many things about the forest and the birds and animals-everything that grew.
 The two grew very fond of one an- other. Soon the hermit looked forward with as much pleasure to the visit as did Benny.
 Once-only once-did he talk of him. self. That was one day when he was strangely reserved and quiet. As Benny vas about to go he told him sad story of how his only boy, whom he dearly loved, had died many years ago: so he had come here to be alone.
 And you look like him. my boy" he had concluded.
 It was Benny himself who found the old man dead, as he called to pay his regular visit.
 Grief and sadness almost overpowered him as he thought of losing this com panion-the only one who had under stood him. Even the news that the her init had left him a large sum of money failed to cheer him.
 It was arranged by his uncle and aunt, with whom he lived. that after fin- ishing his school course he was to go to college, after which he could study the science he loved best.
 After all. the hermit had been able to assist him in 'one or two little ways.'
 But who would have thought O Benny Harris bein' rich?' reflected Skinny, while the rest of the gang gave their assent in awestruck tones.

 She was slowed in ramshackle old spring wagon in which they bumped along over country roads for a mile or more.

 It was long ways. but the ride was so nice that Freddie arrived there al- most before he knew it.

 In the parlor Freddie received his first surprise. Looking into a funny old mirror he saw his own face, only 1t seemed much bigger than usual.

 But as he passed into the next room there stood before him another mir TOT. Could that be-no. surely no yes, 1t looked like his face. But 1t was so very small!
