RELATION OF BODY AND MIND
Assertion Made That No Healthy Per
 son Is Wholly Bad.

The close relation of body and mind Ia the matter of physical health, of which so much Is said by various re lisfous and semi-rcligious organiza. tions and by a class of professional ''healers." Is considered from a fresb point of view by an English clergy man. His argument is that no per
 son who is healthy can be wholly bad. The clergyman further expressed the conviction that there is a close cor rection between health and morals. and that the man who has reached middle age in sound bodily condition thereby proves that he has led de cent life. In support of his position he advanced the assertion that a large proportion of the convicts in English prison are physical degener- ates. From this it would seem that he does not confine his designation of badness" to the vices involved in in temperance and other forms of sensual dissipation, but, since convicts are guilty of many things apart from these. as theft. burglary, forgery and the like, holds that they are led to the perpetration of even this class oi crimes by defective bodily state.

PURSES FOR TEMPERED DOGS
New Occupation TOT Girls In London
 and It Pays Well.

With the increasing craze for dogs of rare and valuable breeds as pets in England Q new employment for girls has been created. They can become dog nurses.
 It Is no uncommon thing to see in the squares and parks a pretty girl in a neat uniform with two or three valuable little dogs on leash. giving them their daily airing She is a dog nurse, and this is only one of her duties.
 Besides the exercising of the pets the nurse must see to their food which is no small matter. Special things are cooked and the dogs must be carefully watched while they eat to see that nothing goes wrong. Then the bath Is a serious affair. Some times a silver bathtub is used and scented water.
 The nurse must also look after the toilet of her charges. When they g, out with their mistress she must see that they are in proper trim, with their little coats carefully brushed and cleansed and their jeweled' collars bright and sparkling.
 After they have retired at night he: time is hes own, anG for the most part she considers her E:ge dollars week very easily earned, for she has her board and lodging provided as well as Ser uniform.
 One of the great requisites Cor the new profession is that the applicant shRll have an extinct sense of humor

MUNICIPAL BONDS SHOULD CARRY.

While we hear of some opposition to the pending municipal oWnersni2 bond proposirion, still We are led to believe that the property owners ol Douglas will vote the bonds by a safe majority of two-thirds. The on lv opposition to the bond issue seems to be based on the assump ton that the price to be paid for the present water plant now owned os the Douglas Improvement company and offered for sale to the city for s225,O00 According to the appralse- ments which have been made by an expert on water systems and by our city engineer and one of our prom inent business men the price Of the water plant is not unreasonaoie' es- pecially when it's earning capacity both for the present and for the fu- ture is taken into consideration Buying this water plant and the pro yiding municipal ownership in Doug las so far as the water supply IS concerned must be regarded just as any other business investment would be. If the water system would De profitable to the city now 1t would be much more profitable in the fu' ture as our city grows and Its pop uIatiou increases to demand larger supply of water.
 If the proposed bond issue is voted down now then it is doubtful II an other proposition so good will ever be presented to the people again. Ii our people believe it is better to have the city own and provide the water supply for our citizens, thus keeping the price of this greatest necessity at the actual cost, rather than pay annually, a profit of S26,OOO to the Douglas Improvement company then they should vote and work for the bond issue A proposition for muni- cipal ownership of the water system in Douglas by the installation Of new plant would not be met with ap- DrOVal, we QO not DSilefer SlIhSA b@ bond buyers or by the citizens Of Douglas. Those who have invested their money in the present water sys- tenn are entitled to receive back this money with fair profit before the city attempts to embark in the wa fer business. The company offering to buy the present bonds say that they would not think of buying them were the money to be used in the installation of an additional water system for Douglas.
 The people should now settle the water problem in Douglas by voting the bonds asked to insure municipal ownership. If not this then they should. after defeating the bond is sue grant a franchise to the water company so that it can be assured of protection in improving the pres ent plant and iD granting a lower va ter rate to our city.

Secretary Wilson could not have expressed it better than in saying that to know what real luxury is one must live in the West His state ment does not mean necessarily the luxury of much wealth, though the West affords that luxury. To know what the real luxury of good living is one must glimpse the West. The West has no vast cities to crowd and cramp the lives and souls of men, but it has great wilderness to be open ed, wilderness whose every prom ise of development grips the crea- tive energies of the mind and the nearness of which to the days of its making fill the mentality with a new and wider conception of life and its philosophies as the marvellous atmos- phere which lies over it nIl the lungs with a new vitalization.
 It is very true that to know the real 1uxuries of life one must live in the West. Every westerner knows it and marvels that there should be in the world those so blind that they either do not know what the West offers, or, knowing, fail to compre- bend what a day in the narrowness of the East means.

The controversy over the artie trips of Cook and Peary continues to attract the attentoin of the country. The first blast from Peary when he made the declaration that he had proofs to show that Cook had not been to the north pole in April, 1908, or at any other time. perhaps did not weaken his contention that he had been successful in reaching the ex- treme northern point of the world. it did cause wide disgust among the American people. Whether Cook or Peary. or beth have reached the pole must be decided by scientists after the evidence. and observations of both have been submitted But Peary in assaiIing the claims of Cook in the manner he did. was not calculated to make it easier for him to satisfy the world that he had scaled its most northern summit.

When Water Gets Into the water


 A watehmaker who has worked al the bench for over a quarter of cen tury gave this advice to watch owne:s who may accidentally get water iets their watches:
 Do not open you watch until yon secure some sort of dish into which to place it, and also enough kerosene to cover 1t all over; any old tin can will do. Open your watch case. both front and back covers, and carefully move 1t around in she kerosene until you have filled it with oil. Allow it to remain in the kerosene until you can have it cleaned. It will come out of the oil without any of the parts rusting thus saving much expense and the watch.--Popular Science.

LUXURY IN THE WEST.

Secretary Wilson of the depart ment of agriculture, upon returning from A tour of the West, has some what startled the customers with his confirmation of the rather large stor- ies of prosperity which had been drifting eastward for some time pasr. Of the vast farm yields, of farmer folk riding in autos and putting more money in the bank than they know what to do with, the customers had heard. but they took the accounts with a large admixture of salt. Now returns the chief of the farmers and tells them that of such prosperity as the West has had the customer knows not. '"To know what real lux ury is you must go West" he says.
 The worthy secretary of agricul- ture has not overdrawn his accounts. Some small spots there may be in tbe vast West of the Mississippi country where the fields for one year have not brought forth the abundant harvests which are the normal re turn to the farmer for his years work, but those sections are so small
 and so isolated that they have little
