Opdoubtedly the streets here
were much improved by the work
ing given them recently Sy Road
Commissioners M a on. They
no |ever still need some finishing
touches which will have to be
given by property owners here.
In order TO make them perma-
nently good they must be drained
and the only way that the county
officials will drain them is by
digging open bitches on both
sides, a method, which it may be
readily seen will be inconvenient
both for residents and visitors.
This prospective inconvenience
NAV be avoided by accepting the
offer made by the District au-
thorities III which they propose
to put thing in on both sides OF
the street, upon the condition
that property own ers and people
IN business here will furnish the
necessary crooks. Think about
1t MIR. Business Man and you will
readily see how a little money
spent here may bring good re-
turns.

Nowhere in all the world today can be found as many confirmed drunk ards as there were among the Thra- clans. the Iberians. the Celts or the Scythians. The man who didn't get drunk every day or two was regarded as queer. The Greeks were moderate drinkers until they began to copy the luxury of the Persian feasts. The Ro- mans initiated the Greeks.

 My friend. am lost. but it is some consolation to know that my case is very curious. During the last few days l have noticed some odd symp- toms. and l am studying them care fully"
 oh. you may recover yet" said the friend
 That is impossible" replied Bichat. and if il were not for one thing would be quite willing to die"
 What Is that?" asked the friend.
 ''l am exceedingly sorry" answered Bichat, that shall not have an op- portunity to perform an autopsy on myself after my death. for l know that l would make some wonderful scientific discovery"
 An hour later he was dead.

First Aid.

Speaking of the necessity for wide spread education in first aid to the injured. the St. Louis Times says:
 Perhaps it will not be taken amiss if we call attention to the obvious fact that nine tenths of all the trouble in the world is due 10 ignorance of cer- tain simple things It might even be said safely that all mishaps of what ever fundamental. physical and spirit ual-are due 10 a want of experience and training. Accidents of a thou sand varieties. from drowning to the taking of dose from the wrong bot tie. are in a majority of cases fatal simply because there was not present some one who knew what to do. In iurieS which almost tear the body to pieces are eurable if the man of train ing and experience is at hand. The simplest injuries often prove fatal when they are not properly attended to. when the injured person does not get the benefit of little simple help.
