There is not an idle man in
Baxter Springs at the present
time. What with so much work
being done to make the town look
good, and the re-opening of most
all the mines in the Baxter camp,
there is no excuse for any man
not having something to do if he
wants to work.

Civic pride is much in evidence
in our city just now. People are
cleaning up their places and
making many improvements. The
building of so much sidewalk has
had much to do with this great
display of civic pride. Miles and
miles of walk have been built,
and much curb and gutter has
been put in. OF course walks
and curb and gutter call for nice
parkings and other things, and
as a result the old town is look
ing fine and dandy.

Suggestion in the Nursery.

People today seem to be divided into three camps on the question of how mach help medical science can get from mental or spiritual slgges- tion There are enthusiasts for and conservatives against. and then a large class of mild conservatives, who are willing tn see mental suggestion gain and keep a place as the hand maid of medicine. but refuse to have her masquerading as queen. There is assuredly one domain where mental science has always held wide sway, and where its help has been constant ly invoked, both consciously and un- consciously and that is the nursery. The wiser the guardians of the nur- sery, the more consciously and scien- tidcally Is this latent and mysterious force called upon for aid. It is need for harm here as readily as else. where, and many broken-down adults might trace the first steps in their un- doing to the foolish suggestions plant ed by ignorance in their nursery days.
 Some persons make the mistake of treating every little childish ailment with a sort of portentous solemnity. They talk in such way as to arouse all the dramatic instinct of a small pa. tient, and help it to fill the role of in. valid with gusto. What are delcut": ":'' one small girl was heard to ask her

 To kiss the place and make it we'll Is happy form of mental ther- apeutics to which we have all prob ably yielded in our infancy; and who has not laughed at the prompt hush ing of angry bawls, while some terri ble sufferer paused to see how the poor table was standing it?
 To win over the dramatic instinct of childhood to the service of health is surely a work worth doing, and quite as easy of accomplishment as the opposite, and it cannot be begun too early.
 It is pleasant to recall one nursery full of healthy, happy children, where all passing minor ailments are met with a sort of tolerant surprise by both mother and nurse, and bumps and scratches and histrionic pain aches are distinctly unpopular. Be- hind this attitude tbe most watchful care. of course. prevails, but it is. so far as the children are concerned, a silent care, and the language of dis ease is unknown. The system works perfectly, and is recommended for trial

A Ise for Tin Cans.

The unpretentious tin can is put to good use in several Arizona mining camps and no longer Is left on the hill sides to be nibbled by the pensiye goat. Particularly at Bisbee, Clifton and Je- rome the cans and all other scrap iron available are gathered up and heaped Into long troughs and into vats for the precipitation of water that is pumped from the copper mines. carrying copper in solution with sulphur. The iron Is gradually eaten away and replaced by copper. forming what is known as slime" which runs from 30 to 5O per cent in the red metal. The expense of gathering is almost nothing. The water from the Jerome mines Is particularly strong. and it is told that shovels and picks cannot be left in some of the damp drifts for fear of losing the tenn per of the metal. which eventually will be entirely replaced by copper.

in Bangkok on Jan. 15, 1908. while serving as general adviser 10 the King of Spain. says the Harvard Bulletin. hls remains were cremated at Bang kok on Feb. .. 1909. The following account is taken from the Siam Free Press of Bangkok:
 ''rhe cremation of the remains of the late Hon. Edward H. Strovel. min. ister plenipotentiary and general advis CT to the Siamese government. took place at Wat Dhebasrindr with royal honors and in the presence of a large and representative gathering. The flu neral pyre was first ignfted by the King himself. a mark of the royal af. lection and esteem such as has never before been bestowed upon any for. eigner in the service of the Siamese government

 The concave form of the bucket ere ates greater pressure against the wa ter. The position of the buckets while out of the water and moving concentric with the wheel shaft edgewse through the air diminishes air resistance. The manner in which the buckets enter the water edgewise avoids the loss of pow CT involved in the downward pressure of the water. The automatic tilting of the buckets leaving the water throws off the back wash and eliminates dead weight. All jar or concussion from the buckets entering and leaving the water is avoided. In starting the wheel without load the buckets are only thrown into working position by it's movement either forward or back.-Se attlc Times.

The historian Buckle to some extent conveys false idea when he ayers that the love of money has done more for the benefit of mankind than any other human passion save the love of knowledge. His idea Is that to the love of money we owe all trade and commerce: the possession of comfort and luxury: the knowledge of foreign nations and manners; the outlet for energies which might otherwise be pent up and wasted: the development of enterprise. forethought and calcula- tion: the arts of utility. of ornament and of, heallng-in short, most of the organization which lifts us above the savage state. To say that All this Is due to love of money Is rather putting the cart before the horse. Would it not be more correct to say that the love of money Is due to the fact that money has become the solvent of pow
 CT and values? The invention of representative of value by means of which all exchanges could he made was one of the greatest of industrial con captions. Some of the animals and in sects have the instinct of provision or provision remarkably developed. In the bee and the squirrel it is the means of Self-preservation. In the human ami maj similar instinct was developed by hrain-pOwer and slowly acquired knowledge into the wonderful organi- zation of modern civilized society. That money. in its various uses has been one of theomost potent instruments em- poyed in the rearing of the social fab ric. cannot be denied. The instrument that has facilitated the accomplish
 ment of such results is entitled to due respect: but to say that the love of money has wrought the grand struc- ture is putting human motives on too low plane Rather let us say that prudence. foresight. love of order. am bition for improvement. have conse- crated to high uses what would other wise be mere counters. But if We take the term love of money to be con crete expression for the organizing i'm pulse of the human race. it is a pas sion not to be discouraged. but on the contrary to be encouraged and stimu- lated by wise laws for the protection of property. In order to produce the best results. the individual must he guaranteed the fruits of his toll and his enterprise to the utmost extent pos sible. consistent with the maintenance of institutions for the common good.

On one night in each year the Lon don police take a careful census of the homeless This year the night selected was that of January 18th. when the officers found more than two thousand persons, of whom nearly two hundred were women. and twenty-three chill dren, sleeping outdoors without shel- ter. On the same night nearly twenty two thousand persons were occupants of common lodging houses of the poor CT type. and about twelve hundred more were accommodated in the casual wards of work houses. Probably many if not most. of the thousands who were homeless on that midwinter night were undeserving; but. in one view of the case. that is another reason why they should be pitied

There are families who reserve all their unpleasantness for meal hours; they think it a convenient occasion to discuss things that have gone awry. to thrash out grievances. To dwell on disagreeable or gloomy subjects. If they but knew it they are courtinS dyspepsia more surely than If they in- dulged in mince pie or terrapin.

 Good manners are desirable, but not so desirable as good health. If your child can only learn to eat well through constant nagging at meal time. better let it slip up In it's table manners. Many children refuse to eat at table because their hunger is driven away by reproof. \ mother once complained to her doctor that her small son had no appetite; no matter how tempting the food. he could not eat it. though he seemed hungry between meals. The physician asked to be invited To lunch, which the child ate with the family.
 At the close of the meal he said: Tt is not your boys digestion that is al fault. but his mother. Let that boys manners alone. Stop your incesslnt. Willie. your elbows. Do moi smack your lips If you think he will not shine as gentleman without such coaching take fifteen minutes midway between meals for lessons in table breeding. but stop your nagging while he eats if you would not have chronic dyspeptic.'
 Watch your table talk, keep 1t pleas ant at any cost, learn to digest your food with laughter and fight dyspepsia with cheerfulness, and not only will your home life be happier. but you will forget that weak stomach.
