Rheumatism.

More than nine out of every ten
cases of rheumatism are simply rheu-
matism of the muscles, due to cold
or damp weather or chronic rheuma-
tism. In such cases no internal treat
ment is required. The free applica-
ton of Chamberlain's Liniment is all
that is needed, and 1t is certain to
give quick relief. Give it trial and
see for yourself how quickly it re-
lieves the pain and soreness. Price
25 cents; large size, so cents. Sold
by all druggists.

When Is a Shed Not a Shed.


The legislature of New York passed
a law regulating the hours Of en-
ployment of women and children in
factories.
The law was bitterly fought, but
it passed.
Up in the fertile valleys of north
ern New York Is "the canning belt"
Here millions of cans CT beans, peas.
corn, tomatoes, ETC., are put up"
each year.
After the law was passed the can
ming companies made only one
change in their arrangements. They
painted signs bearing the mystic
legend SHED, and nailed 'em on
all their fac-er, beg pardon-on
all their edifices more than one story
in height.
The then attorney general of the
state was asked to prosecute the can
ners for violating the law. The con-
sumers' league presented a booklet
with amazing facts:
It was shown that children of all
ages go out with their mothers from
nearby cities. Children from four
years up work at shipping" beans
or carrying baskets, while the
smaller children are brought out in
baby carriages so their mothers can
tend them as they work.
There is no time nor place to cook
meals, so the children and their mo-
theirs MUNICH bread as they work, and
women and children work steadily
from in the morning until Z, s, 8,
yes, $50 at night.
But" argued the Gamers, these
children are not working for us. They
are working for their parents. We
don't pay the children, nor hire them
We hire and pay the mothers, and be-
sides, these are sheds not factories"
The attorney general promptly
agreed that the law was applicable
only to factories, and that a shed was
not a factory.
Somewhat discouraged, the con-
sumers' league got Assemblyman
Voss to introduce an amendment to
the law making 1t clear that the law
dealt with child labor, not with archi-
tectural nomenclature.

California Missions.
From the Springfield Republican.

Preservation of the old Spanish mis-
sjons is getting into large favor In Cali
fornia, where the early Roman Catholic
missionaries left so many monuments of
their religious work and also of their
genius for architecture. There has been
no little kindly approval of what has been
done and stimulus to further doing in this
line. from the mouths OF Presidents and
other national officials: Mr.. Roosevelt ex.
pressed himself heartily for the restora-
ton of the old missions from their ruins.
and Mr.. Taft spoke to the same effect on
his recent visit. 1t hardly need be said
that the movement is one that ought to
succeed, and that wealthy citizens OF the
state are now planning to make the move.

are rich men enough in California TO bear
the entire expense. but If this work OF
preserving historic monuments cannot be
done by the federal government, il Is well
in the interest of the national society TO

The entire area OF his purchases com

and commanding a fine sweep Of Rock

slopes down to the gorge of Rock creek
where on the north side of the street the
descent is precipitous to the bed OF the
stream.

Sibour, to utilize this feature of the
ground. He will have gardens at the
rear of the house. which will conform
to the natural grade and will have the
fine outlook UP the valley of Rock creek

BORNEO VIEW OF CREATION.
First Appearance Of Man According
to Legend of Wild Tribe.


Many and various are the Dyak acs
counts Of the creation. and none OF them
coincide. They are unable to describe or
to say who is the Deity (Petara), but
they say I'm one OF their accounts of the
first appearance Of mankind that the
Petara gave birth to a boy who was
a pit, when he became Pulang Cana, the
god Of the earth
The second child born to the Petara
was q girl, and she had no nose. so was
set adrift on a river, becoming Rajah
Jewata. the god Of fishes.
The third child was without any hu-
man form. and 1t was placed on a bough
OF a tree, where II became an orchid.
The fourth child was a girl. who was
named Siti Permani. and she was cut TO
pieces. the bits becomisg padi. pumpkins
and other plants.
The fifth child was a boy. and he was
called Bang Pinggang, as he had a white
stripe around his waist, and he became
Ini Anda and lives in the heavens.
The sixth child became animals and
birds, while the seventh was a girl, and
Ini Rajah Pipit called her Dayany Petri.
All the brothers and sisters lived on
charcoal. but she alone refused to eat IL,
crying night and day, and she was finally
taken to the house of mi Rajah Pipit,
where she obtained rice to eat and seeds
for planting padi. single padi seed be-
ing about the size of large mango
fruit She married a man called Sakum-
bang Mafon Bunsu Chenaga Cmbang.
and she and her husband farmed the
land, finding the work not at all labor
ious.
The padi was only planted once, and 10
lived for many years, bearing fruit con-
tinually; the baskets for the padi could
walk to the farm, and on Their arrival
there the padi Jumped into them OF its
own accord. and the filled baskets walked
home again, and when il was being dried
It jumped up and down and husked itself.
Une day Dayang Petri took winnowins
basket and began to reap the padi herr
self, and this rash action of hers at once
caused the padi to stop reaping itself.
and, what was more, caused IL to give
only one crop before it died. as 1t does
today.
The Dyaks have three other accounts
of the creation. one being that mankind
was produced from a certain tree called
Kumpang, the sap Of which is like bloodf
another, that friable earth was the origin
Of life, and yet another. that the birds
Iri and Ara were the creators.
