The Mosquitoes Of Africa Are Worse

I'm the Nyassa country I'd always

set up my mosquito net with the ut

with valises and boxes. I'd light in
side it three green wood fires. filing it
with a bitter smoke that all insects
are supposed to loathe.
Finally I'd get in myself. I'd
smoke big pipes of the black native to-

.EX0NEnATEO WAS
THE INSTITUTION
Easthaven Hospital Authori-
ties Are Now Cleared of
Absurd Charge.
ALLEGED BRUTAL ACTION
IT WAS CLAIMED THAT PROF.
SHOEMAKER WHO DIED At
HOSPITAL HAD BEEN VERY
BADLY MisTREATED THERE.

The Eastern Indiana Hospital for
the Insane, located a. Easthaven. a
mile west Of the city, has been exon.
Grated entirely from the stigma that
an effort was made to place against il
at Muncie. The charges against the
institution followed the death of David
H. Shoemaker at the hospital 1t was
claimed at Muncle and given circula-
ton in the press of that city that Shew.
maker had complained against harsh
treatment at the hospital. Charges OF
this sort are not infrequent in connec-
ton with any public institution but
none has been verified since Dr. S. E.
Smith has been superintendent at East
haven.
Statement Of Case.
In regard to the Shoemaker case a
Muncie paper says:
1t was reported few days ago that
the late Prof. David H. H. Shoemaker
who died at Easthaven hospital at
Richmond last Tuesday, had been mis-
treated during his confinement at that
institution. These conditions are de-
clared to be untrue.
The statement was made that the
we'll known Muncie man had not been
given sufficient food and that he had
been compelled to witness harsh treat
ment towards other inmates.
DR.. G. w. H. Kemper, of this city,
a close personal friend of Prof. Shew.
maker for many years previous to the
latter's death, has issued the follow
ing statement: "Inasmuch as a recent
report concerning the death of the
late Prof. David H. H. Shoemaker
contained an unjust accusation against
one of our honored institutions,
wish to make a portion of a letter
r which l received from Prof.
s -.aker q short time before his
death. The tender chord of pathos
running through the letter will awak.
en- our love and sympathy for Mr..
Shoemaker, and will serve to show US
that living actions are better than
post mortem reflections.
shewmaker's Opinion.
The following portions Of the letter
touch on the subject of Prof. Shew-
makers own opinions concerning his
treatment: Il received today from you
the beautiful souvenir badge and pro.
gram of the thirtieth annual encamp-
ment Of the G. A. r. l appreciate
these souvenirs for their own value
but more than all l appreciate the
fact that you remembered me in that
convention with comrades.
Il have only one serious ailment
and that is my heart, which is quite
serious. My nervousness is gone and
my appetite is very good. do not
take much medicine here and the
treatment is the same as you prescrib-
ed for me in the first.
Il have nothing but praise for this
institution and its officers and physi-
clans. l have not been treated harsh
ly, nor have | seen any unnecessary
harShness"

To the wife's intense surprise Tag

he had heard she was in trouble and
returned on that account, otherwise he
would not have come back. He also
explained that he never knew why he
left her; that he apparently lost his

learned that she had been married and
he resolved to remain away. Since
then he had travelled all over the coun-

He offered TO take her and her chill

RED
Taggert was popular minister in
Bloomsbury in 1887, when he married
pretty Eliza Ivy. The following year
son was born. They seemd happy,
and when a few weeks after the birth
OF the boy, the father nnaccountably
disappeared the community was shock
ed.
He left no word as to why he went
away or where he was going and all
efforts to find him failed. Some time
later his wife heard he had been
drowned in the Johnstown hood, and
in June 1892. she married Samuel Van
Horne Of Bloomsbury. Two children
were born to them.

TACTFUL cHAPEROhS.

how Thoy Should Dispose Of Unds-
sirahls Young Mon.
The perfect chnperon is born, not
made, because to- be at her best she
must be constantly on guard without
the appearance OF watching her
charges. and that means a poise and
self control and an ability for self ef-
facement that the average woman does
not possess. And because OF this lack
of sufnciency chaperons are frequently
maligned either by parents or young
folk, for II she IL too strict the latter
are annoyed. and II not sudiciently 30
parents are displeased.
The most difficult problem that a
chaperon has to manage il what to do
when men whom she considers unde-
sirable talk to her charges. To give
them the cut direct Is rude and places
her in most unfortunate position.
To show her disnleasure quietly is
not apt to be effective, for girls are
likely to champion those whom they
deem downtroddcn. and. II the men
have the least charm OF manner or
know how to make themselves agree
able, to snub only makes them more
Interesting TO the average young girl.
While no chaperon is SO silly as to
think that every man who meets her
charge wishes to marry her. the older
woman has nevertheless to remember
that he may be q possible husband
and 1t is imperative that the girl
should be guarded from undesirable
associates. Probably the best way OF
managing such situation is for the
chaperen to be constantly in the fore
ground. without the appearance Of be-
ing SO. not giving the man any oppor-
tunity to develop the acquaintance be-
yend most formal lines.
Her greatest tact lies in so nlanag-
ing her charges that she can retain
the girls confidence. for so long as she
has it she will know the situation.
Once let her lose it. and she works In
the dark. not being certain what the
day may bring forth. AS TO how much
liberty q girl may be giren by her
chaperon in summer. one can only say
it depends greatly upon the girl and
her associates. II they are reliable
and she Is sensible there is no need
of her having protector all the time
for her own good sense is enough
Girls are always giren more freedom
in summer than in winter. ard with &

ing Records.
WOULD BE Improvement

So that better trace could be kept
of the permanent improvements. town
ship assessor Potter would have the
building permits issued by the city en-.
gineer instead of by the controller.
The assessor says such change
would benefit his office by providing
a way for him to keep track of the
improvements. He would have the
engineer check off the improvement
on a map, so that as soon as a house
is erected on vacant lot record
would be made of it.
Only one complaint was registered
against the additional improvements
levied by the assessor this year. A
citizen erected a new modern home
on North Twentieth street. 1t was
equipped with electric lights. bath and
other accessories. On the building
permit he placed its value at $4,000.

ORIGIN
OF a Famous Human Food.

The story OF great discoveries or in
ventions is always of interest.
An active brainworker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not carry
out the plans and enterprises he knew
how to conduct. was led to study var
ious foods and their effects upon the
human system. In other words before
he could carry out his plans he had
to and food that would carry him
along and renew his physical and men,
tai strength.
He knew that food which was 4
brain and nerve builder (rather than a
mere fat maker, was universally need.
ed. He knew that meat with the aver
age man does not accomplish the de.
sired results. He knew that the soft
gray substance in brain and nerve
csnters Is made from Albumen and
Phosphate of Potash obtained from
food. Thcn he started to solve the
problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape Nuts. the now famous
food. It contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition for
easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape Nuts
daily il easily seen in marked stur-
diness and activity of the brain and
nervous system, making 1t a pleasure
for one to carry on the daily duties
without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape Nuts food is in no sense a
stimulant but is simply food which re-
news and replaces the daily waste oil
brain and nerves.
Its favour Is charming and beins
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory 1t is served instantly with
cream.
The signature OF the brain worke,

each genuine package or GrapeNuts,

Rain CHECKING FLAMES
Situation In Western Canada
Still Serious, However.

Winnipeg, Man., Aug. pa steady
downpour Of rain west OF the Koo-
tenay and Fernie district is checking
the forest fires, although fires are
still burning around Hesmer, Michel,
Fernie, Coal Creek, Morrisey, Jatfray,
Cranbrook, Moyie and Creston. Man
ayers of lumber companies are ex.
pending large sums in employing men
to fight the fire, which is a severe
task, as at times the wind blows a
gale. The East Kootenay Lumber
company, the Wattsburg Lumber CON-
pany and the Otis Staples Lumber
company all suffered heavy losses.
Valuable timber south of Nakusp, on
Arrow lake, and in the vicinity of
Cranbrook has been destroyed. The
chief sufferers are the railway and
lumber companies, although numerous
fruit ranchers throughout the valleys
lost residences and property. The
most serious fires occurred in East
Kootenay, the city Of Cranbrook hav-
ing been threatened to such an extent
that many people buried their valu-
ables in the yards in anticipation OF a
general conhagration such as overlook
Fernie last year.
