WORKING WITH BABY ON BACK
Eskimo Woman Seems Little incom.
NODDED by Burden, and Infant
i Is Comfortable.

1t is surprising what work an Eski-
mo woman will undertake with baby
on her back. It is common &C.
currence to see them bent down skin
ming seals or cleaning sealskins; it
often makes one feel afraid the baby
will roll out, but no such thing hap
pens. Baby sits in it's cozy quarters
looking round and taking notice of all
that is going on, or sleeps on quite
unconcerned. The women even carry
children of two or three years old
in their hoods, and always have their
hands free for other work 1t is very
amusing to watch the operation of ia
king child from the hood. The little
mortal is shaken round till it occu-
pies favorable position behind the
mothers left shoulder Another
shake and a couple of jerks, and up
comes baby on to the shoulder, where
it looks like bundle of rags Over
balancing it takes plunge, head
first, toward it's mothers lap. Before
arrival there, however, the infant
turns somel sault and lands safely
on it's mothers knee, to be fondled
and caressed and talked to in the way
usual to mothers the wide world over.

HUMANITY AND ITS DRUGS
Making Surgical Operations
Less Cruel.

: The occasional occurrence of fatal
consequences from the administration
of chloroform or ether, however much
to be deplored in the individual in
stances, should not be permitted to d.
vert attention from the enormous num-
Der of cases in which these agents are
administered without i'll effects of any
kind or from the enormous number
In which they save life by permitting
the performance of operations which
it would be impossible to accomplish
without their aid Statistics on the
subject are perhaps not entirely trust
worthy; but it may be safely said that,
in round numbers, there are 5000 sue
cessful administrations of anesthet-
les for every death attributable to
them; and it is only the immense
number of operations which they have
rendered possible and successful that
explains the comparatively very small
number of fatal accidents which have
occurred in given hospital or in a
given time. Notwithstanding the vast
preponderance of safety it is impos-
sible to deny the existence of a GER
tain, or rather of an uncertain amount
OF real danger; and hence there is a
very general feeling that the powerful
drugs concerned have been employed
in the past with somewhat greater
freedom than is entirely justifiable.

SIRUP ON MONTANA ROADS
An Idea That Grew Out OF the Experi.
ment Made on Tennis
Court.

A scherne for improving the roads
of the state by sprinkling them with
a strip which is a refuse in the
manufacture of granulated sugar from
sugar beets will be submitted to the
good roads convention and is being
widely discussed in this section, writes
Billings correspondent of the Los
Angeles Times.
The idea of using refuse strip on
roads grew out of an experiment made
by one of the tennis clubs here. When
the court was laid out the dust caused
considerable annoyance. also the fact
that with every rain the soil was
picked up by the shoes of the tennis
players.
In looking about for cheap binder
one member suggested refuse strip.
1t answered the purpose admirably.
When mixed with salt and poured over
the ground to a depth of several
inches the ground was rendered I'M
pervious to water and the dust was
entirely eliminated 1t worked virtu-
ally as well without salt.
"It is believed that if the country
roads are properly graded, rolled and
copiously sprinkled with this refuse
strip they could be kept in fair con-
dition with two such treatments
year at a cost trifiing when compared
with oil.

A Modern Fable

Once upon a time farmer had 1900 bushels
but to 500 different dealers, a bushel each.
Now few of these dealers paid cash on delivery
but far the greater number said it not
venient then, but that they would pay later. Az
ter few months had passed the farmers bank
account ran low. "How's this2" he said. my
800 bushels of wheat should have kept in
af1uence until another crop is raised but | have
parted with the grain and instead | have vast
number of accounts small and scattered that
cannot get around and collect enough to pay ex-
penses." So he posted up a public notice and
asked all those who owed him to please pay
quickly.
But few came and others said. "Mine is only
small matter and will pay some other day"
forgetting that though each account was very
small. when they were all put together they
meant a large sum to one man. Things went
on thus and the man began to feel so bad that he
fell out of bed and awoke and went out to his
granary. where he found his 500 bushels of
wheat He had only been dreaming.
The next day the man went to the publisher OF
for your paper. and when next years subscrip-
ton is due you can depend me to pay it
promptly. ! was in the position OF an editor last

Cleanliness of Ants.

No creature is more tidy than an
ant, who cannot tolerate the presence
of dirt on her body, says a writer in ST.
Nicholas. These little creatures acru-
ally use number of real toilet arti-
cles in keeping themselves clean. A
well-known authority says their toilet
articles consist of coarse and fine
toothed combs, hair brushes, sponges
and even washes and soap. Their
saliva is their liquid soap, and their
soft tongues are their sponges. Their
combs. however, are the genuine arti.
Gle and differ from ours mainly in that
they are fastened to their legs. The
ants have no set time for their toilet
operations, but stop and clean ur
whenever they get soiled.

When all interest is turned toward

a wealthy soap dealer, established in
the city, sent his son to St. Paul's
school, where he very soon made his
mark in mathematics and classics.
Even at the age of fifteen his main de-
light was in the construction of dials
and compass observations. 1t is mis-.

SECRET ALLIANCE A MENACE
II Japan and Russia Combine Our
Navy viii Need to Be Vigorous
Iy Enlarged.

Washington, d. C.-The state de-
partment and the navy department
have been more alarmed by the news
of the secret offensive and defensive
alliance between Japan and Russia
than by any demonstrated events
since the PRONUNCIATION of the open
door policy by the United States.
Both departments know that the
alliance has made futile the double
standard naval policy which it was
thought, when put into effect, would
be complete check to Japan.
By the double standard was meant
the throwing of one-half OF the Ameri-
can navy into the Pacific, it being as
sumed that American construction
would be always more than double
that of Japan. 1t is obvious to all the
experts that the object of Japan and
Russia, openly backed by Great
Britain, is to neutralize the power OF
the United States in the Pacific and
among the nations, and 1t is admitted
that II Japan and Russia were to COM
bine and were to rush their battle
ships under construction the theory
of double standard would have to
be replaced by a fact, namely the
transfer Of the majority of the Amer
'can battleships of the first class in
lo the Pacific.

Many have the idea that anything
will sell If advertised strong enough.
This is a great mistake. True, a
few sales might be made by advertis-
ing an absolutely worthless article but
1t Is only the article that is bought
again and again that pays. An ex-
ample of the big success of worthy
article is the enormous sale that has
grown up for Cascarets Candy Cathar-
tic. This wonderful record is the result
Of great merit successfully made known
through persistent advertising and the
mouth-to-mouth recommendation given
Cascarets by its friends and users.
Like all great successes, trade pi-
rates prey on the unsuspecting public,
by marketing fake tablets similar in
appearance to Carcarets. Care should
always be exercised in purchasing well
advertised goods, especially an article
that has a national sale like Cascar-
cts. Do not allow substitute to be
