Cretan Customs,

Crete, now the unhappy model of all
that a state ought not to be. figured in
ancient days as the example OF all
that state ought tn be. Its system of
popular government was regarded as
perfect, 50 that Lycurgus blessed the
Spartans with it. From the very early
days when Crete became republic
down to the wickedness of the Romans
the islanders were never known to
wage aggressive war on their neigh

Protect the Native Plants.

Every normal and reasonable lover of
wild flowers and plants has forced I'M
pleasantly upon him, or her, the fact
that ndiscrimnate and wasteful pluck

havoc in many caser irreparable, and has
even led to the practical extinction of
species in wild areas where they once
We're plenty. Such will welcome the eff
of Native Plants to arouse a better inter-
est and fuller understanding of the
matter, and will hope that these efforts
will lead the casual picker of wild flow
ers to use moderation, care and judgment
in the woods and fields. Many wild flow
ers, beautiful as they grow, do not lend
themselves to picking. Many are pleas
ing when picked in a small quantity
but lose their beauty in a large bunch
Some such as the golden rod, the aster
and. perhaps. the wild rose, can be picked
practically without restraint and suffer
no injury; but these are few

THE HURRYiNG BARBER.

minutes, and | said to go ahead.

of doing. and he had to cut the hair

the case of shaving. WheE you tell Il
barber to hurry he dashes around on
the tiled floor at imminent risk of

fact remains that ne takes as much
time as usual to rub the lather into
your tace and as much time to shave

Il began to believe there is some

CENTER OF OUR POPULATION
its Movement Westward Uniform If
Rate and Direction.

Ee center of population i'm 1900 was in
the state of Indiana. In 1870 the center
was % miles east of Baltimore. in the
state of Maryland. or virtually on the
Atlantic shore line
It's migration has been slow and re-
markedly uniform. both in rate and in
direction. 1t has lowered for 40 years
a.orS the 18th parallel of latitude. and
It's total variation in latitude has been
less than one-third of one degree
The westward movement, has averaged
less than degree in decade. notwjth-
standing the incredibly swift occupation
OF vacant continent by a movement of
population westward
The easterly position of the center of
population is in part due to the fact that
the the eastern part of the continent
was first settled and was settled from the
east. The easterly position of the center
OF population is also due to the more
evenly distributed and more abundant
resources of the eastern half of the
United States.
1t should not he forgotten that the
geographical center of the United States
lies some hundreds of miles west 1T the
Mississippi river. The eastern half of
the country therefore embraces the At
lantic lowlands. the prairies and great
lake plains. the gulf lowlands and the
forests and minerals of the Appalachian
mountains and Appalachian plateaux.
Over against these are the arid and
mountainous areas of the west
Certain areas will be reclaimed to H.
II edible prOductiveness, and the mineral
wealth is vast; but the center of popul.,-
ton may be expected to remain par,,a-
nently to the eastward of the geograph-
cal center of the land.-Geographfca

difficult, says pr. shoop, to strengthen
a weak Stomach, Heart or Kidneys, if
one goes at it correctly. Each inside
organ has its controlling or inside
nerve. When these nerves fail, then
those organs must surely falter. These
vital truths are leading druggists every

Pure Food Law Relative to Eggs.

Following is copy of the pure
food law relative to the sale oi
eggs for state of South Dakota,
--latest rulings, under date of Dec,
1, 1908. The same is now in force
On and after Jan. 1, 1909, every
person handling eggs will be sup
posed to know whether or not they
are fresh or otherwise.
Any stale eggs found in the pos
session of any dealer will be CON
sidered prima facia evidence that
he has them for sale and shall be
subject to prosecution under the
law.
Any farmer found guilty Of sell
ing, offering or exposing for sale
any decomposed or partly incubat-
ed eggs will be dealt with according
to law without discrimination.
The above is copied from the re-
cent printed Bulletin sent out by
A. H. Wheaton, commissioners,
Brookings, South Dakota.
If enforced this law may entail
much hardship on egg dealers and
make it necessary to employ an
egg candler to examine all eggs
brought to market before they are
purchased. OF course the farmer
who brings them is also held re.
sponsible under the law but unless
the eggs are tested as they are brot
in and before they are mixed with
others his guilt can not be estab.
lished and the whole penalty will
fall upon the dealer. It is good
law for consumers, but the only
way dealer can be safe is to either
candle them himself or have an
official egg tester in each market
and require every farmer to pre-
sent, with his eggs, a certificate o.
good character" for them from
this tester.
