How to Hang a Horseshoe.

OF superstitions We have heard
much. Now. it will be remembered
that there is one common meeting
point among the credulous of all ma
tions-in Europe at any rate. Ev-
erybody who believes in luck at all
believes IN the luck of the horse
shoe. But did it ever strike you
that there is u right and wrong way
to hang a horseshoe: You often
IN England find it hung or nailed
to the door with the ends pointing
downward, but in Ireland, where
superstition is more reasonable, this
is never so. There they always
hang the horseshoe with the ends
pointing upward, as otherwise your
luck would run out, don't you see?

1t is as easy for woman to get
into debt as it is for a child to get
into mischief. One very good way
to keep within bounds is to watch
the bills and pay them every month.
Do not allow one bill to creep into
the next month. Deprive yourself
of something until you get straight
with the business world. Little
unpaid bills always create vexation,
and once they get started arc apt to
accumulate. The very best method
of avoiding indebtedness is, of course,
to pay cash.

was bound to seem encouraged
whenever there was a chance. In
reality she was a pessimist, but

after lecture on South Africa, she
remarked to a friend:

that is that those horrible canni-

that means" youths Companion.

IMPORTANT SAVING BY TREATING NINE
HlABERS.

Mine operators of the country can
save fully sls, 100000 a year by
treating the timberused underground
for props and decreasing the annual
replacement necessary by decay from
one-third of the total amount in use
to one thirteenth of the same amount.
In speaking of the saving in mine
timber through preseryative treat
ment, W, F. sherfesee, in new
buelletin issued by the United States
Forest Service says:
The estimated life of an untreat-
ed mine prop is approximately three.
years. With proper preserative
treatment this life may be increased
by approximately ten years, giving a
total life for the treated props of IS
years. All of the mine props, both
round,and square, in use in the Uni
ted States, contain approximately
500 million cubic feet. About forty
per cent of this quantity, or 600 mil
lion cubic feet, can be advantageous
" treated. Ifno preseryatiye meth
DDS were used the annual replace
ment of this forty per cent would
amount to one-third of 600 million,

CAREFUL WITH DRUGS.
How Prescriptions For EnsIand,s Royal
Family Ar. Handled.

Family Are Handled.
Members of the royal family have
occasionally to take medicine, and
their medicine, although it may be
the same as that supplied BY ordi-
nary doctors and chemists to the ay-
erage man and woman, is dispensed
IN manner which makes it lmpos-
sible to be tempered with until it is
placed in the hands of the royal
parsonage for whom it is intended.
Each ROYAL dispenser, and there
are several, has room set apart
especially for dispensing medicine
for royalty. When prescription is
brought IN by a royal messenger the
dispenser himself or his assistant
takes the date and the time of its
receipt. The prescription is then
passed into the private room. Here
are glass cupboards. securely locked.
containing the drugs which are used
IN making the medicines for mem
hers of the royal family.
After the prescription has been
entered in book leach member
of the royal family has his or her
prescription book, which is pro-
yided with a lock and kept in u safe)
the work of dispensing is done by
the dispenser and his assistant. The
cupboards are unlocked and the
drugs wanted brought out and
placed on a table. Each drug be-
fore being used is analysed and the
necessary quantities weighed and
measured on two or three different
pairs of scales to insure exactness.
The water used is of the highest
state of purity, and every possible
care is taken to keep it in that sd
while the medicine is being made
up.
When the medicine is finally bot
tied the names and quantities of
every ingredient contained therein
are placed upon the label, together
with directions as to taking written
in English and Latin. The bottle,
after being corked and sealed, is
placed in strong case. which is
locked. This case has two keys, one
being retained by the dispenser and
the other being in the possession of
the royal parsonage for whom the
medicine is intended. A trusted
royal servant or a kings messenger
conveys the case and its contents to
the royal residence, where it is un-
locked and the bottle of medicine
examined and the particulars upon
the label checked by the royal ply
sician in attendance.-London Tit

GOOD PRICES FOR TOBACCO CROP.

Tobacco buyers continue to make the
growers jubilant by the prices offer
ed. The warehouse men at Hurri-
cane, West Hamlin and Salt Rock
are contracting for thousands of
pounds of the weed every day now,
at prices ranging from twelve to is
cents in several instances. The sale
of the 1909 crop will scatter an i'm
mense amount of money through this
territory. Buyers say this years
crop is of splendid quality.
The crop for 1909 is the largest
ever raised in cabell, Lincoln, Ma
son and Putnam counties, and will
amount up in the millions of pounds.
The good prices will stimulate
growers to continue raising the weed.

CHRISTNAS IS COMING.
There S nothins about the warn


November days to remind one O
Christmas but the important fact re,
mains that this anniversary is less
than FIVE weeks away.
In less than Eve weeks most of Is
viii be vacillating between the pleas
ure of giving some of our friends APP
propriate gifts, and the pain of not
having justwhat We would ike to
give others. In less than FIVE weeks
some of US viii be rejoicing that We
began tomake our preparations early,
while others of US will be remOrseful
that We DELAYED our gift-giving ar
rangements too long. In less than
FIVE weeks some of US Will be 50 worn
out with the struggle to crowd FIVE
weeks preparations into one week,
while few of US will be refreshed
and happy because of having taken
time and Christmas bargins by the
forelock.
For most of US the success of the
Christmas celebration will depend
upon lust how well we employ the
next FIVE weeks.
Thus it is every year. Along in
November itoccurs to US that now is
the proper time to make our holiday
arrangements. We are reminded by
the newspapers and by the mer-
chants that early Christmassh shopping
Is a matter of advantage, not only to
ourselves, but to our friends and the
merchants and those whose duty it
T. help US with our buying.
We are reminded that by December
the merchants have laid in their
holiday and wintry stocks of goods,
and that it is just as easy to find suit
able gift articles then as later. We
are remindful, too, that the early
shoppers get the choice ofeverything,
and that, as rule, the goods we buy
just before December e5 are goods
that hundreds of Others have examin.
ed, have handled and have rejected.
OF inducements and ofsuggestions
of early shopping there is an abund-
ance, but how many of US will take
warming: How many of US will be
wiser from our experience, our diff
culties and our notifications of for
mer wears:
There is no necessity to argue the
matter. No experienced shopper
needs to be told about the advantages
of early buying. Neither does she
need to be reminded of the human
features of the case. She knows all
about it. It's only a question of
whether she will procrastinate, or
whether she will anticipate.
The Register would suggest that
is readers give this matter serious
attention-today. Early preparations
for Christmas is an important duty.
The subject is not only entitled to
the consideration of individuals, but
is worthy of the attention of civic
organizations and women's clubs.
Organizations of women could ac-
complish something fine for humanity
by taking the lead in a movement
for early Christmas shopping, and
would earn the gratitude of thousands
of clerks and shopkeepers by urging
the Christmas buyers to make good
use of their time.
Apart from the convenience to
shoppers themselves, women's clubs
could do no better work than to as
sist in a movement that would give
some reliefto overworked women and
girls in the stores during the season
of holiday buying.

WISE AND OTHERWISE
JUNGLE ANcIL)

An exchange says that the pro-
tective tariff produces trusts.
Trusts are no more apt to be for
med on protected articles than
on articles on the free list.
Trusts ere formed by "a combina-
ton of men to put up exorbitant
prices, and this may be done on
!. any article. Trusts are formed
46y men on American made goods
upon which there is no tariff.
Trusts have been formed right
here in Seattle on groceries,
milk and other commodities. The
tariff has nothing to do with it.
These trusts have only been in
existence for the last few years
and if the tariff had produced
them they would have been in
existence many years ago.
