BODICE THE CAMERA.

The Michagensian, the college an- nual at the University of Michigan, has asked students with cameras to chase up the members of the senior classes to get photographs of the 1909 folks without their knowing they are being taken. To avoid be- ing caught in ridiculous poses into which they may fall by chance the Michigan seniors are kept busy dodg- ing folks who carry black boxes.

the use of such means as may be adapted to killing ticks in pastures or on ranges. Where a large number of cattle are to be handled the only practical method of killing the ticks on cattle is to dip them in crude OIL Beaumont oil has proven most effec- tive in this work and the dipping IS followed by less injury to the stock than when other oils are used
 On the average farm where only a few head of cattle are kept the dlp- ping vat is too expensive, so the stock man must resort to other methods.

 hours. Ticks should be carefully removed from all sick and well animals. Ticks may have been on the cattle last season but the fact that you have sick animals is sutti- cient evidence that the ticks on them are infected and capable of causing trouble. Good care. such as shade and plenty of cool water should be supplied We have seen good results follow pasturing the cattle on green corn or cane. The green feed is nourishing and at the same time will act as a laxative. When fever breaks out in a herd all of the cattle should have all of the ticks removed and be given laxative and nutritious feed in abundance Such steps taken as precautionary measures will often stop the disease before the loss is very severe. In some cases stimu- lants are very beneficial such as aromatic spirits of ammonia in doses

It pays to use good sire. If a man is in the dairy business a sire from a milking strain should increase the product of his progeny by 1000 pounds year, yet good many dairy men give little thought to the sire, If he raises cattle for beef good beef sire will increase the price for his progeny.

SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing

1t is a serious question sometimes to-
know just what to eat when a per-
sons stomach is out of order and most
foods cause trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that it will

valuable to anyone interested in foods.

WAS ONLY WHITE MAN TO VIEW
THE POLE.

DR.. Cook is the only white man to
view the pole. His party composed en-
tirely of Eskimos, save for himself, is
the smallest that ever set out on such
an expedition. That his equipment was
most meager is shown by the fact that
even after he had accomplished that
in which all other explorers for
centuries had failed, almost a year
and a half elapsed before he could
have his great discovery announced
to the world.
On his dash to the pole, accomplish
ed by means of dogs and sleds, tenn
peratures that at times reached as low
as SO degrees below zero were encoun-
tered.
At Lerwick DR.. Cook cabled his wife
he had been successful and was we'll.
He requested her to cable her address
to him at Copenhagen, for which port
he is now steaming.
Lost Tidings In May, 1903.
The last tiding from DR.. Cook was
on May Z, 1908, when an Eskimo who
had accompanied him into the ice
bound wilds returned to a point south
with a letter from the doctor, stating
he had reached Cape Hubbard, West
ern Elsmere Island. The point is about
500 miles from the Pole.
At the time DR.. Cook was preparing
to push northward. He had provided
himself with dogs and sledges, pur-
chased from the north Greenland. Eski-
mos. He proposed journeying to the
Pole by way of Buchanan Bay, Els
mere Land and through Nansen Strait.
His arrival at Cape Hubbard showed
he was well OF his way with the most
difficult part Of his journey before
him.
DR.. Cook led the expedition to
Mount Mckinley, out Of Seattle, in
1906. The expedition was successful,
and the mountain, which up to the
time had bafled the endeavors Of man
to reach its summit was scaled. After
the perilous ascent the party started
on a hunting expedition on the border
Of the Polar regions, when DR.. Cook
expressed a determination to precede
Perry to the North Pole. He announc-
ed to John R. Bradley, who accom-
panied the expedition and provided
the funds, if he would give him pro-
visions for IS months and one trusty
man, he would make a dash for the
Pole.

KILLS MOTHER AND SELF
SON BLOWS OUT BRAINS WHEN
POLICE ASK FOR HIM.
Crime Committed In Order to Get
Small Sum With Which
to Marry.

P~ottsYille, Pa-Without waiting
to be accused Of the murder
Of his mother, George Simons blew
out his brains at the home Of his
sweetheart, Miss Viola H~artranft,
when he heard police officers inquiring
for him.
Previous investigation showed that
Simons had killed his mother a week
ago and left her body in an attic, first
stopping up the cracks in the door SO
that the odor of the decomposition Of
the body might not be detected, and
then mailing the door and marking II
paint" so that nobody would touch
It. To add to the horror of the crime,
Simons had covered the body Of his
mother with quicklime, hoping to de-
stroy the evidence of his CHASTITY deed.
Mrs. Simons disappeared last Thurs
day. Young Simons told his father
that his mother had gone to visit
friends at Mahoney City, and he found
that she had not been there. He then
came back and asked Chief of Police
Davies to Investigate.
The Simons house was searched
without any clew being found to the
murder. Then the door, sealed with
paraffine, attracted the attention Of
Chief Davies and it was broken down.
Mrs. Simons, who was SO years of
age, was found lying in the middle
of the room, her body already so de-
composed that it was difficult to tell
in just what manner she was killed.
The motive of the murder is be-
lieved to have been the gaining of a
trifing sum with which it is evident
Simons expected to get married. He
was an only o and had been edu-
Gated as a civil engineer.
