While Ed Long. Paul and Ralph

days ago out along the edge of the big
mountain bordering the Sunnyside
on the north, they came suddenly
upon a large bob cat asleep in the
sunshine. The cats den was great
cleft In the earth running back un-
der an overhanging rock. Without
stopping to consider the terrible dan
ger should the cat be only wounded.
Ed raised his % caliber rifle and
fired point blank. The bullet struck
the cat too Ear behind the shoulder to
prove fatal. The cat bounded into the
air with an awful screech. Regaining
his balance he crouched for spring
down upon the boys. Suddenly one
of the boys cried out and at the
sound of the human voice the terrible
creature shrunk into his den. The
boys were greatly excited over the

When men take up a crusade in
any line of human action, they in
variably go to the extreme on which
ever side they happen to be. With
them there are no middle grounds,
consequently opposing crusaders are
as far apart as II is impossible for
them to be, and with no hope of even
approaching each other, much less of
getting together. This is one great
reason why so many Of the vital ques-
tions of life are so long in coming to
a solution.
There are those who condemn Nr.

work in the interest of science of
which millions yet unborn will reap
the benefit and praise his name for

The dampness that is in it,
Why was salt put in the sea?
To keep the water fresh.
On which hand is the finger of

Why does not the stomach digest

Because the stomach, like the heart
OF the average person, is too hard
and tough.
Where does the fire 80 when it
goes out?
Into oblivion.
Why are there no hills in a flat
country?

How to Regain Beauty of Form

The vagaries of Fashion are a
great trial to ladies inclined to over
stoutness, but 1t ISL great mistake
to go in for physical repression in
the~shape of special stays. Fasting
and violent exercising are also dan
gerous. One very soon becomes
limp, depressed and sallow of COM
plexion when such methods Of get
ting thin are adopted. There is alb
solutely no necessity to study diete-
tics or deprive ones self of whole
some rest and bodily comforts,
The following is a prescription
which~wil restore beauty of form
without any sacrifice of health or
strength. ANY druggist will make 1t
UP for you or supply the harmless in
gradients, viz: Il Or. Marmola, Il
OF. Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic,
and 3h OF. Peppermint Water. The
dose is one teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
Don't be afraid of a good appetite,
especially as the digestive system
will be much benefited by this sim
pie treatment. Indeed, the whole
body is beautiied, and the reduction
of weight occasions no wrinkles.
The skin and complexion are re-
beautffed.
