In glancing over our exchanges
we have discovered a number of
cases where persons have been in
jured in various parts of the anat-
omy. Here are a few cases cited:
While Miss Pearl Kinsmore, Grand
Rapids, was coming down stairs
she slipped and bruised herself on
the landing. Amos B. Potter of
Aurora, while Harvesting a fractions
horse was kicked just south of the
crib. While Harold Green of Bovey,
was escorting a young widow home
from a church social Saturday night,
a savage dog set upon them and bit
Harold four times in the public
park. Joe Tut of Coleraine,
climbed on the roof of his house last
week to look at the concentrating
plant and slipped and fell striking
on his back porch and causing
serious injuries. -Nashwauk Herald.

Last year, more than two

their children how to shoot off
the fireworks properly. Lockjaw,

The Life Plant,

There is strange wild plant in, Qua
deloupe called the '1ife plant" If a
leaf be broken off and pinned by the
stem to the wall of q warm room, each
Of the angles between the curves of the
leaf margin soon throws out a number
Of very white tentacles, or roots, and
soon tiny new plant begins to sprout
and In the course Of a week or two at
tains height Of two or three inches.
When the old leaf shrivels, the new
plant is cut of and planted. When
carefully cultivated, the, life plant pro-
duces curious red and yellow blossoms.
AS plant freak it certainly is as in
teresting as the everlasting plant Of
Mexico.

Speaking to a friend and advising
him to take the Neal cure, patient
who had just been cured said:
Go and take the Neal Cure, and
you will never regret it. It is more
than the company claims for it.
The company is composed of honor
able gentlemen and they will do with
you just exactly in every respect as
they advertise. and best of all, it will
not cost you a single dollar for your
treatment and all the good things
they furnish you during the three
days at the institute unless you and
your wife, family physician and
friend, who may be with you at the.
institute are entirely satisfied with
the cure at the end of the third day.

Why Go to Bed?

1t seems to me we make a mistake in
prescribing special hours for going to
bed and for getting up. Why should
we thus gorge ourselves with slumber?
Why should we not follow the example
Of the dog and take an occasional nap
when we have nothing better to do?
Why should we go to bed when we
don't feel sleepy? Why should We not
take forty winks when inclined there
