The Limit of Life

The most eminent medical scientists are
unanimous in the conclusion that the gen.
orally accepted limitation of human life
is many years below the attainment DOS
which the race is now possessed. The
critical period, that determines its dura-
ton seems to be between so and 60: the
proper care of the body during this de-
cade can not be too strongly urged; care
Iessness then being fatal to longevity.
Natures best helper after 80 is Electric
Bitters, the scientific tonic medicine that
revftalizes every organ of the body. Guar
anteed by all druggists. Soc.

Nav Iniurc the SUGAR Beets.

A little leaf blight has been noticed
in a few beet fields near Lakin and
one or two fields near Garden City
This has not shown a tendency to
spread and beet growers do not con-
slider it as serious. In one or two
fields that have been directly under
the direction of the sugar company it
has been noticed that the blight is
merely in the leaf and that new leaves
are taking the places of the one af-
fected by the blight.-Garden City

Sentiment.

A flag is no more to be classed as
a strip of bunting than the sword of
Bunker Hill could be classed as a
chunk OF steel. Memories, traditions,
ideals, loyalty, patriotism are not I'M
real because they cannot be measured
with a yardstick or weighed on the
scales of a coal yard. Loyalty to the
flag is a force as real and far more
permanent than the great lifting crane
of the navy yard. Patriotism will move
more, in the space of time, than the
biggest engine in the freight yards.
Ideals are more forceful than the big
gest mound of radium that the ctviliz-
ed world can ever get together. Public
sentiment has had more to do with the
digging of the Panama canal than the
heaviest shovels driven by steam in
the Culebra cut.

Remarkable EIoouence.

Here is part of an actual speech de-
livered in an Indian court of law by a
pleader: What they say is very, If not
most, ridiculously absurd to believe.
Indeed, it is incredulous. They say
that the blood flew, and they did moth
ing to put the wounded into ease. This,
sir, is a lie, an unmitigated lie-or
rather falsehood, or fable, or story,
or, as Byron sarcastically observes, a
terminal exactitude. These buffaloes
never used to Craze on the field, which
is not actually even proper grazing
meadow The destination which they
started was half a mile from the Gym
osure to which they went Unless they
did not ride on lightning horses, how
could they reach to that premises in
five minutes? Can any man-idiot
even-will not believe such a stupid
concoctation."

Useful Candle Nut.

One of the oldest nuts in the world
is the candle nut, which grows in the
Pacific islands. The name is derived
from the fact that the kernel is so full
of oil that when dried it can be stuck
in a reed and used as a candle. The
natives of Hawaii roast these nuts,
and after removing the shell reduce
the kernel to a paste, which, when
seasoned with salt and pepper, is re-
ported as making an appeizing dish.
The husk of the nuts and the gum
which exudes from the tree have me-
dicinal values. while the burned she'll
is used in making an indelible ink
with which tattooing is done.-Ameri-

The farmers are urged to re-

reap, and great care in the selec-
ton of their seed grain is neces-

the scientists at the experiment

farmers, it is imperative That seed
grain should be treated with, for
maldehyde to prevent smut. All

labor depends on the purity Of the
seed, and the farmers cannot afford
to take any chances by over looking
the ordinary precautions to pre-

knowledge that the right kind o
seeds have been put in the ground
the farmer has positive guarantee
that he has eliminated one source
