The Red Sea,

In the Red sea reefs of bright pink coral are clearly to be seen. Much Of the rocky bed of this sea Is the work of the coral insect. But probably the true reason for the name of the Red sea is because along It's eastern shore lies ancient Edom. This word signifies red" It was given to the region not from the color of its sandstone hills, but from its people. These are the descendants of him who came in faint and weary from hunting and said to hlS brother, Feed me, l pray thee, with that same rcd pOttagc, for I am faint" therefore was his name called EdOm.

CAPE HATTERAS.
The Shifting Sands and Point of This
 Isolated Place.


 Isolated Place.
 There are few names more widely known in the United States or locali- ties about which @ greater ignorance prevails than Cape Hatteras. Situated as 1t Is at the angle where the long strip of sand beach from Cape Henry south turns at right angle to the westward, with the widest part of Pamllco sound between 1t and the mainland and with the beach both west and north cut into several islands by inlets from sound to ocean, Its po- sition Is isolated. No means of trans portation exist along the beach, and with the nearest railway station from which a regular transportation route Is operated nearly a hundred miles away 1t is an easier place to talk about than to visit.
 Like all sand prOmontories, the point of the cape is always moving. An old wreck imbedded deep In the sand and showing only the stumps of her masts and bOwSprit and the rusty skeletons of what were once her chain plates and dead eyes Is now quarter of a mile or more inland. Twenty years ago she Is said to have lain in the water. where she struck or drifted ashore, the land now outside of her having been built up since by the ac- ton of the wind and the waves.
 Two features connected with the sailing of the fishing skiffs used here abOutS are new to me. One Is that of using member of the crew as shift ing ballast A plank Is run out over the side. the inner end caught under the lee washbOardS, while on the outer end. with legs dangling over the water, sits the man acting as ballast, and this not in racing, mind you, but in every day sailing. The other is the practice of "nodding." as heard 1t called. In moderate weather, when the skin is only lightly gliding along, one man will stand up alongside the cen terboard on the weather side and, fac ing outward. will steadily rock side wise from one foot to the other with faster. And perhaps 1t does.-Char- lotte Observer.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their unceasins Work Keeps oS
 Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passe through the kidneys once every thre minutes. The kidneys filter the blood They work nigt and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when un- healthy some part of this impure mat ter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms pain in the back. headache. nervous ness, hot. dry skin. rheumatism. gout. gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness irregular heart debility, drowsiness. dropsy. deposits in the urine, etc. But If you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys.
 w. A. Hawkins, ss9 Yesier Way. Seattle, Wash. says: Tt gives me pleasure to confirm the statement gave for publication some years ago in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as the relief I obtained from their use has proven permanent. I suffered from an acute attack of kidney trou- tIe and though used remedy after remedy, I was unable to find relief. l had the most severe pains across the small of my back and was also annoyed by irregular passages Of the kidney secreuons.

Former North Dakotan Has Great
Faith in Fruit Lands Of West
J. 5. Green Formerly Of Mandan Believes Conditions at Her
miston, Ore, Are the BeSt-Great Profit to Be
Realized in Apple Growing

A great deal OF interest has been
awakened in this section this year es-
pecially over the newly developed
fruit lands OF the west, and quite a
number have invested in small tracts,
believeing that there is good profit
to be secured in this way Hon. j. s..
Green is in the city, and knowing that
he had made careful investigation of
the conditions all along the Pacific
coast, a representative Of The Forum
called upon him to ascertain his views.
Mr., Green was formerly state senator
from Mandan. and mas been interested
in the development of the western
part of North Dakota for many years;
this gives him a wide acquaintance
here, who will be glad to learn his
views.
Mr.. Green said that he had carefully
looked over the entire western country
and had finally settled at Hermiston,
Ore, where he believed the conditions
we're the best. He believed that the
people did not realize that the apple
crop OF the United States was rapidly
growing smaller instead of larger
that it had decreased from $4,000, 900
barrels In 1895, to 26,000, 900 barrels in
1908. In the west the trees are now
being cared for according to modern
methods, and the picking was done by
experts, who even used gloves in the
handling OF the fruit, and every box
was marked with the associations
name, the number of apples therein
so the dealer knew just what he was
getting. BY these modern business
methods in handling the fruit, it has
brought about an increased value for
the product.
At Hermiston a large irrigation
plant has been established, and ex-
perience has already shown that the
water provided is far in excess of
what will ever be needed. This makes
it so that there is no experimenting;
the settler there knows that when he
needs water he can obtain it, and he
knows just what it will cost him.
There are many people skeptical
I'm regard to what can be expected
from an acre planted to apples" re-
marked Mr.. Green, land the develop
ment of the past few years has been
so rapid that unless you have person
ally investigated the subject 1t will
be hard for you to believe what the
product of good orchard will be. 1t
will perhaps be more convincing to
quote the words Of Prof. A Van Hol-
derbecke, ex-state horticultura1ist Of
Washington, and one Of the best post
ed fruit growers in the northwest. In
a recent address he said
"H / could not make more than
$500 or $500 per acre would quit my
orchard. If you can't clean UP $780,
per acre annually after seven years

there is something wrong, and / DOM
see why you don't make more. You
should make from $4,000 to $4,000 pei
acre from Spitzenberg apples after
they are in good bearing condition
There was an apple tree close tc
Walla Walla that produced 161 boxes
Of apples. These are facts. Nature
had done 1t accidentally. 1t was q
tree where human nature had nothing
to do with it. The tree Is standing
down there today in the Toushay val
ley, Never cultivated, never pruned
never grated and every year the cat
tie had the crop because IL was a vel
low apple. The tree is about 35 years
old, the record was 161 boxes. Now
is not that proof OF what nature
will do IL only assisted. The soil Is
similar to this. A man planted Spitz-
enbergs 20 feet apart. He had 3s
acres in alfalfa and two acres in
Spitzenberg apples, and he said 10
himself: My apple trees are loaded,
and / am going to give all my water to
the trees and his alfalfa dried up. The
trees were years old. He picked
those apples and / happened to be
there at the spot, stayed around there
three days and went over that or
chard,, because 1t was a record, an
average Of "a boxes under each tree,
for which a fruit buyer from Chicago
paid $3.50 per box making an aver
age of $50 a tree. The trees were
planted 20 feet apart, which when
figured out, aggregates $3,968. Those
are the true figures. That Is close
ON to $4,000 from two acres $4,000
clear is enough for anybody to live
on. These are facts. ] can give
you hundreds of similar statements.
What is the commercial variety of
apples? Spitzenberg. Some cannot
grow it on account of the short sea-
son and the tree grows too big, and
has no fertility. Your conditions are
just right to produce an excellent
Spitzenberg: s3,9S0 per acre is what
Ii has brought in my locality, and YOU
have the same conditions here. This
Is one of the very best apples and the
highest priced
Il have made UP my mind" said
Mr.. Green, that am getting to che
age where I want to look out for
something which Will make my de-
Ginning years easy and pleasant, and
IL 1 can get ten or twenty acres of
land In the Hermiston valley and
get them into fruit, I know that I
will have an assured income of at
least $1,000 per acre every year as
long as / live, which is more money
than any man ought to spend on him
self. do NOT know Ct anything in
this world which will give greater
assurance of comfort in my declining
years than such an investment. 1t
looks good to me. and / believe it will

/ have DONE"

STEALS A RIDE; KILLED
Railroad Man Meets Awful Death
While Drumming on a 500

Bottineau Courant: Coroner Emil
Johnsgaard was called to Overly Tues
day to view the remains OF one S. e.
Mcbride, transient, VINO had met
death in q box car In the 500 yard at
Overly.
1t seems that Mcbride was cumming
a ride In car loaded with grain doors
In switching the car the end had been
damaged and a railroad employee had
opened the side door Monday evening
about o'clock to ascertain the extent
of the damage to the contents of the
car. The lifeless form of Mcbride
was found just inside the door, q large
cash having been cut in the scalp and
his body crushed. The body was still
warm in the region of the heart and
the indications are that death had come
short time before The railroad
men at Overly claimm that know moth
ing OF the accident
Mcbride was man about IS years
old, weighing about 1870 pounds and

Some cases are suspected OF being

since all the usual symptoms OF polio
myelitis may be presented by a large
number of other diseases and disturb

nal tract Many more features than
are discussed above are present, but
these can only be understood and de-
tected by q physician, and therefore
are not discussed here.
IL has long been noted that cpl
denies on anterior -myelitis have
occurred, chiefly In exceptionally hot
weather. but two exceptions have
been noted where the weather was
damp and cool. In Minnesota out
breaks in extremely hot. dry weather
were noted in every locality except
Bricelyn. At the same time inquiry

A Strange Angle.

Although it is convenient 10 think
Of polio-myelitis as OF gastro-intesti-
nal origin, it is notable that inquiry has
shown unusual freedom from intestinal
troubles in the localities this year in
vaded, and specific freedom from such
troubles in all families and even the
particular patients affected, with very
few exceptions
"As a general rule, the children af
fected have been exceptionally robust
and active, with good appetites and
living on a general diet; but 1t was
notable also that the children, as a
rule, were not In well to-do families,
nor likely to have f1rst-class nutri-
tional facilities, although to this also
there are some notable exceptions.
The nationality of the families is
largely foreign, SO far as investfga-
ton went This seems to correlate
rather with the fact that it is among
these people that poor living in neg
lected localities with unwisdom in
feeding, etc, exists, than with any par
ticular racial physiological deficiencies.
Three autopsies so far have been
secured. These were done by Or. HI.
e. Robertson of the university medical
school, department Of pathology and
