MALARIAL DISEASES.

''Fix me up something to knock the
malaria, doctor" remarked a sallow-
faced, sickly looking man, entering
prominent pliysician's Office the other

The doctor stepped to his medicine

a preparation which 4nded ito the
patient with shr customary advice to
'shake1wen and follow directions and

serious in those VINO have neglected to
keep their stomach, liver and bowels in
good condition. Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the malarial
germ thrives, and it is from this class
that typhoid fever, pneum onia, Bright's
Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim
most of their victims whenever these dis
eases are prevalent.
The proper way to guard against the
cnalaria1 germ and the serious diseases
which follow it is to get into good condi-

DOES NOT GROW WISER

The world does not grow wiser as 1t
grows older. There are certain errors
of calculation based on mistaken
estimate of human nature, which re-
peat themselves with each generation,
though they have been found out, ex-
posed, labeled and widely announced
five thousand times.
Such, for example, is the case of the
sanguine young woman who marries a
rake for the purpose of reforming him.
Such is the case OF the father who
takes his indolent and shiftless son
into business, expecting that RESPONSE
bility will steady him. Such is the
case of the church which elects per-
son to Office in order to secure his
active interest in the work of the
church. Such is the case of the old
people who<naISe over their property
to their children, hoping to enjoy the
proofs of their gratitude through the
declining years of their life.
These things all work one way, with
perhaps an exception so rare as to be
undeserving of attention, and their
method and result is pretty generally
known; and yet, such is the conceit oil
men that almost all who try the ex-
pertinent believe that they, by reason
OF their superior sagacity, will be able
to do what thousands Of others sorrow
fully failed to accomplish.
The law Of nature is, "Make the
tree good and the fruit will be good. y
Begin the reform with the tree and
not with the fruit; and that law cannot
be safely trangressed.

A newspaper, if 1t has any brains,
conscience and muscle back of it, must
continually decide between doing its
duty and injuring its pocket. In any
position but that of editor, the public
is able to seperate the individual home
from the collective citizen. But If an
editor does not please them it is at his
pockets they aim. Thus it is the news
papers learn who their friends are.
The man who reads newspaper and
admires it all the year around, yet
withholds his business support, is not
friend to the newspaper. Admir-
alton alone will not run newspaper
There are too many men who expect
an editor to slave in defense of their
pet notions and hobbies, advocate
their views against the strongest oppo-
sition while they coolly withhold their
business support, by which alone a
country newspaper can live.

According to report recently pub
lished by the department of agriculture
at Washington, the equine population
of the United States is 81 888, 93l, total
value 50, $50, 974 ,847. Horses increased
in numbers 648, 900 and in average
value from S93 Al to S95. Ga in 1908,
while mules are more numerous by
1S4, 900 and are worth more by eight
cents each than they were a year ago.
The government statistics show that
the price of horses has more than
doubled in the last ten years and that
the whole number on the farms of the
United States has increased little
more than 900, 900 during this period
while their total value has jumped
from 1908, 800, 442, to 81, 974 ,052, 600, an

Constable and a Farmer Engaged ir
an Expensive Lawsuit

Batesyille, Feb. 20.-Charles Meach-
um, constable of this (RuddelD town
ship, and Jake Pool, farmer, are
engaged in a lawsuit over the owner
ship of a halter that will likely cost
one of them the price of many such
articles before it is finally disposed of
by the courts.
Meachum claims he sold Pool the
halter about year ago and that he
failed to receive all the pay for it.
Meachum secured the halter through
process of law, and then Pool, at the
first opportunity, relieved Meachum of
the article in dispute. Meachum
caused the arrest of Pool on a charge
of larceny for taking the halter from
him, but in the justice court Pool was
acquitted and allowed to retain possess
sion of the halter. Meachum then re-
plevined the halter and Pool as quick
ly gave bond for the appearance of
the halter in court at the proper time
and retained possession. Pool says he
paid for the halter and will spend any
reasonable sum before he will surren-
der it to Meachum. The constable is
equally as determined, and as both
have retained lawyers the legal battle
mag be fought through the high courts.

Why a Cat Lights on Its Feet.

Why cats when dropped from q
height light on their feet nine times
out of ten is one of the smaller prob
lens that from time to time attract
the attention of a certain type of sci
entists. Some years ago learned men
in, Paris gravely studied the phenom-
ena, even haa lot of films taken of a
cat falling from a great height. These
showed that as soon as puss began to
fall a curious turning movement of
the headquarters began, and Just be-
fore she touched ground she was right
side mp.
A German professor went his fellow
scientists one better and proved a cat
in falling changed its center of gravi-
ty by rotary twists of the tail. The
professor further observed that these
twists were the reverse of those of the
rest of the body. So convinced was
he of this fact that he fixed a movable
tail to operate by clockwork on a dunn
my cat and 10, behold, the dummy cat
when wound up and set in motion fell
on its feet every time like a sure
enough cat. Aeroplanist, consider the

"One feature of the Chinese indus
trial situation has escaped attention
here. 1t is that the empire is at the
threshold of what, believe, will be an
era of remarkable manufacturing ac-
tivity. The American Tobacco COM
pany, which operates in the east as
the British-American Tobacco COM
pany, manufactures, from American
tobacco largely, vast quantities of ci-
garettes. The cheap labor available
at their factories In Shanghai, Tan
kow and Mukden, together with their
employment of the most modern ma
chinery, enables them to prove the
wisdom of production close to the
consumer. 1t is my opinion that the
manufacture of ready-to-wear clothing
in large quantities would be a most
profitable pursuit. The Standard Oil
company has made vast profits by get
ting close to the consumer. Its oil
boats deliver petroleum to the most
remote sections of the empire without
recourse to the middleman."
