Made for Fat Men.

One of the narrow arches in the
gallery of the chapel at Columbia uni
versity is not exactly symmetrical, al
though the defect is not noticeable to
the casual observer, says the New
York Globe. The reason for the wild
ening of the arch after it's original con-
struction had rise in somewhat
humorous occurrence. One of the
early visitors was a remarkably fat
man, who found himself wedged into
the arch when he tried to squeeze
through and was extricated with diff
Guilty. The builders, recognizing the
possibility of other fat people being
numbered among the future visitors.
decided to widen the arch, sacrificing
symmetry and harmony to practical
need, as the pier was so constructed
as to bear no loss of width on one of

Good Treatment for Floor.

The simplest and one of the pretti-
est of treatments for a floor is as fol-
lows: Wash the floor well and let it
dry. Then go over it with cloth
dipped from time to time in coal oil,
which not only cleanses, but pene-
trates the floor so that less of the boil
ed oil is required. In two quarts of
boiled oil put beeswax the size of half
of an egg and boil together till melted
and thoroughly mixed. The utmost
care must be taken in doing this, as
both materials are inflammable.
While the oil is still warm apply with
a wide paint brush. If the wood has
a handsome grain, the oil brings it
out beautifully. 1t only requires dust
ing from week to week.

Corporations Gust Miners.

The Klondike proper-that is. that
portion of the Yukon territory in the
vicinity of Dawson-as far as the in
dividual miner is concerned, is on a
rapid decline owing to the immense
area of ground being acquired by
dredging companies. One company
alone has purchased nearly all tho
placer ground on the three principal
creeks, namely: Bonanza, Eldorado
and Hunker, and has bonded consid-
erably more on Dominion and other
creeks for various reasons. Where
formerly hundreds of miners were
working for wages or working their
own ground, thus creating a demand
for provisions, clothing. machinery,
hardware, ETC., and the transportation
from Dawson to the different mining
operations, now dredges are either OPP

a part of the business of the ranch
man and miner in his vicinity, but
the. consumer, who has been caught
by the Cheap" prices Offered, has
not got what he has been paying for
by long way, and there is no way
for him to get even.
AS it has proved with the groceries
sent out by the eastern mail order
houses, so it is with the other lines
they work off IN Montana. The sad
dies and harness offered at phenom-
enally low prices, the buggies and
wagons, at prices which seem almost
like giving the vehicles away, the
kitchen utensils which are priced in
the voluminous catalogues at figures
that indicate the local merchants are
highway robbers, the dry goods that
are offered at such infinitesimal cost
as to compel the ordinary woman to
believe the mail order man is public
benefactor, all of these eastern mail
order house offerings are on a par
with the proved quality of the gro
ceries they have been selling -fraudu-
lent and put out to sell and not for
service The confession on the gro
ceries should make the eastern mail
order house patrons think before they
send off another order for Cheap
goods.'-Helena Record.

Tree Planting by Squirrels.

Those who have argued that in
stinct that will lead a squirrel to bury
a nut for winter use will lead him to
find it when the winter comes may
find some facts in the Statehouse
yard that will cause his faith in this
statement to shake little.
Let him examine the lawn on each
side of the walk leading from the gate
at the northwest corner of the
grounds, where most of the visitors
feed the squirrels, and he will see that
the grass is thickly studded with the
shoots of many kinds of nut trees and
bushes, each one springing from a
buried nut that the squirrel which bur-
led it did not dig up. One who sees
this must credit the squirrel with hav-
ing much to do with the planting of
our forests.
AS a promoter of forestry the squir-
rel is entitled to first place among
the Columbus Dispatch.

"HAY STOVE" is HANDY.
Saves Fuel and Discomfort During the
Hot Weather.

Here is a good way to keep the
kitchen cool and also to save fuel:
Take an old trunk or a wooden box
about the size of trunk, fill with hay,
pack tightly and make four or five
holes in the hay to accommodate pots
of different sizes. Prepare your meat,
vegetables, rice, fruit or whatever you
wish to cook, put on gas stove and let
come to boiling point. Take off and
put into holes in your hay stove; have
a tightly fitting cover on each pot and
close the lid, which must also be lined
with hay and lastly with netting or
cheesecloth to keep the hay from spill
ing. If put in while preparing lunch
con or just after everything will come
out nicely and thoroughly done for a
seven o'clock dinner. Oatmeal may be
cooked over night. Have tried this in
the house and in camp during summer
when we would put our dinner to cook
at daybreak, go on an excursion, come
back at noon hungry and tired, lift the
lid of our hay stove and find our din
ner ready to be served and eaten.
Everything gets thoroughly done with.

Caramel Junket.

If one is fond of caramel or plain
junket, there is no dessert for sum-
mer more delicate. Two cups of
milk, one-third cup of sugar, one-third
cup of boiling water, one junket tab
let, a pinch of salt, one teaspoonful
of vanilla Heat milk until blood
warm. Caramelize sugar, add boiling
water, and cook until syrup is re-
duced to one-third cup. Cool, and
add milk slowly to syrup. Break the
tablet into small bits, or powder it,
add to mixture, with salt and vanilla.
Turn into cups or dish, let stand until
the junket congeals. Then place in
the refrigerator to chill. Just before
serving cover the top with whipped
cream and chopped nuts.
If plain junket is preferred it may
be favored with sherry wine or nut
meg instead of vanilla.

AFRAID OF PARALYSIS
A NERVOUS SUFFERER CURED
BY Or. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
The Medicine That Makes Rich, Red
Blood and Performs Wonders as a
Tonic for the Nerves.

The Medicine That Makes Rich, Red
Blood and Performs Wonders as a
Tonic for the Nerves.
Why are nervous people invariably
pale people?
The answer to that question explains
why remedy that acts on the blood
can cure nervous troubles.
1t explains why DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are also for nervous
people.
1t is because of the intimate relation
between the red corpuscles in the blood
and tine health of the nerves. The
nervous system receives its nourishment
through the blood. Let the blood be-
come thin, weak and colorless and the
nerves are starved-the victim is started
on the road that leads to nervous wreck.
Nervous people are pale people-but the
pallor comes first. Enrich the blood
and the nerves are stimulated and toned
up to do their part of the work of the
body. Dr. Williams Pink Pills make
red blood and transform nervous, irrit-
able, ailing people into strong, energetic
forceful men and women.
Mrs. Harriet E. Porter, of 20 Liberty
avenue, South Medford, Mass, says:
81 had never been well from child
hood and few years ago began to
have dizzy spells. AT such times could
not walk straight. I was afraid of
paralysis and was on the verge of
nervous prostration. Then neuralgia
set in and affected the side of my face
The pains In my forehead were excru-
ciating and my heart panied me so that
my doctor feared neuralgia of the heart.
1 tried several different kinds of treat
ment but they did me no good.
"One day my son brought me some of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills and 1 found
that they strengthened my nerves. I
took several boxes and felt better in
every way. There were no more dizzy
attacks, the neuralgia left >ne and have
been a well woman ever since"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are invaluable
in anamia, rheumatism, after effects of
the grip and fevers and in sick head
aches, nervousness, neuralgia, and even
partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia.
