TALE OF HUNGER CURES HIM
Man Suffering From Dyspepsia and Summing Solid Food for Years
 Regalns Appetite.

Seattle, Wash.-Reading a book on Arctic exploration in which was de picted the great hunger and suffering of the scientists cured R. T. Strum of dyspepsia, and he is rapidly regaining a normal appetite.
 For years Strum had been unable to eat anything but soup and small quantity of fruit His body was vast ed, and he was treated by physicians in vain. Recently he obtained a copy of book on explorations in the polar regions and read it with more than usual interest.
 The periods when the explorers looked in vain for food to satisfy their hunger, the sufferings from cold and exposure, and the dealing out of ra- tions ounce by ounce, so revived the long dormant stomach of Strum that he felt himself recovering He grew hungry and ate meat for the first time in years.

cIothInu of Mineral Wool.

Now Thomas A. Edison is telling us that one day we shall find cloth ing "dirt cheap" for the reason that the sources of mineral wool are in- exhaustible and processes are under way by which it will be robbed of it's "scratchiness," be spun, woven. dyed. and withal turned out into the nat tiest kind of garments.
 MT. Edison might have said that 1t will be 'slag" cheap. Mineral wool, or as 1t has been called mineral cot ton, is produced by turning a jet of steam through liquid slag from fur mace. Under the influence of the steam the hot slag Is blown into fine white threads. Until Mir Edison mentioned its coming adaptability. for clothing mineral wool has been val uable as a non-conductor of heat, and as such has been used as a covering for boilers and steam and hot water pipes.
 Which suggests that mineral all wool overcoat may be all right in a hard winter, while an undershirt of even mineral cotton might be uncom- fortably warm in Chicago Tribune.

BATTLES BEAR BARE-HANDED
Drink crazed Alaska Fisherman Was Being Slowly Rugged to Death
 When Saved.

Seattle, Wash.-John Johnson, a giant fisherman at Seldovia, Alaska, became crazed from drink and at tackled a three-year-old Kadiak bear that was stealing his fish,
 The half-crazed man challenged the bear to a fight and bruin accepted. The first round was decidedly the bears for three ribs were caved in in John sons side This seemed to infuriate the big f1gsherman and he went after the bear with his fists.
 Before distant fishermen and long shoremen could reach the scene of the fight, Johnson had pummeled the big bruin until both the bears eyes were closed. The bear was gradually get ting a squeeze hold on Johnson, how ever, and had 1t not been for timely intervention the fisherman would have been killed.
 The bear met a match in tenacity and was so blinded and exhausted that he was the easy victim of man with a long-bladed knife. Johnson was brought here for treatment at local hospital.

Uncle sam's InfiexibIe Rule That All Recruits Must Be Examined Kept Girl From the Navy

Omaha, Neb.-Had it not been fof the infexible rule Uncle Sam has laid down that every applicant for enlist ment in the navy must submit to a physical examination, Miss Helen Akers, as she gave her name, might now be sailor As it is she has gone to New York city, where she admits her parents live, though she has not seen them in three years.
 An individual, apparently a young man of medium height and slight of build, walked into the office of Lieu tenant Downs here and applied for en, listment as Henry Akers.
 Making half a dozen turns up and down the examination room, "Henry's'' wind was tried out and pronounced ex- cellent

HONOR THEIR WOMEN
MEN OF INDIA HIGHLY ESTEEM
 THE GENTLER SEX.
Native Author corrects Western Fall lacy and Asserts His Fellow coun- trymen Never Compelled Wild ows to Make the Suttee
 Sacrifice.

Contrary to the usual western be- Indian author, Indian women are more highly esteemed by their hus- bands even than their western sis ters. The Indian Is taught venera- tion for women from his earliest boy hood. Any unkindness to a wife is supposed to be swiftly followed by misfortune and a mans prayers are of no effect unless his wife joins in them with all sincerity. At a corona tion the presence of the sovereign's wife is of the utmost importance. Should she be unable to appear a statue of her must be placed at her husbands side. Otherwise the cere- mony is not legal. The standard of morality, the lecturer asserted, is higher in India than in England. The Indian, it is true, is legally allowed to take a second wife should his first marriage prove childless, but it is most rare to hear of an Indian avail ing himself of this privilege.
 When the princess of Wales visited India she was regarded with the greatest veneration, not merely for her charm of manner or the fact that one day she would be empress of India but for the fact that she had five sons. Death was not forced on any widow, the lecturer asserted. They were free to choose for themselves. If they did not feel called upon to make the sacrifice of suttee they were always at liberty to refuse. However, should they desire to sacrifice themselves the act brought them a crown of martyrdom. earning for themselves the title of ''Devi." It Eas an error to think they were burnt alive. A cup of poison was drunk and cremation followed.
 Finally MT. Ghosh related that a prediction calling down disaster on man passed harmlessly. over a woman, her moral standing being the higher of the two. The great dia- mond of India, the Kohinur, carried with it a curse to the effect that it's wearer would rule over India, but die a sudden death. A woman might wear the jewel safely. The late Queen Victoria had 1t placed in the royal crown, but now, said the lecturer, 1t adorns the one made for Queen Alexandra by the order of the king. to whom the prophecy was sent from India.
The Holbrook news., 1911-09-01

Mules, much abused and neglected animals, are not generally understood by farmers. A mule in the first place must be or good stock, not an off spring of some scrubby mare, but a mare with good breeding qualities. writes Ed Mclaughlin in the Rural New Yorker. A mule of the man. moth stock is supposed to be the best mule under all conditions Mules are cheaper than colts, for the service fee Is not generally as high. Many peo- pie make a mistake in working the mare too soon after foaling. Never work mare under ten days, then she can do light work, but the mule must be left in the barn.
 When the mare Is brought in from work never allow the mule to suck as long as the mare is warm. After a mule is two or three weeks old turn 1t out in a lot away from the mare, especially at night, for a mule is very hard on mare, much more than colts. When the mule is about two months old he may be allowed to eat a few oats, about pint in the beginning. Increase as he grows older, or the same amount of bran along with a lit tie hay. alfalfa is preferred At the age of nine months a mule should be weaned, not gradually. but all at once. Take 1t away from the mare and never let 1t suck afterwards. He should be put by himselF or tied up. At this time you can give an ear of corn at meal and small amount of hay. The mule should be turned out in fair weather and not left to stand in the stable
 A mule should be made before he is a year old. This can be done by good breeding and the proper care It is not necessary to give a great quantity of food to him during the winter, but it must be of the kind to keep him growing. such as alfalfa
The Holbrook news., 1911-09-01

hay, silage, some corn fodder, some corn and chopped food occasionally. Oats are very good, but very expen- sive food. In spring he may be turned out on pasture during the day and fed some hay at night and morning, because grass at this time Is very washy. AS the grass gets older leave on pasture, but be sure to have plenty of shade and water. A mule should not be broken until he is three years old, although many are broken before they are near that age.
 With the proper handling he will be found to be easier to manage than horse colts. I always work them be- side a good steady horse. Do not work mules together until thoroughly broken, or you may have some trou- ble. After this time he may be found to do more and better work than a horse colt at the same age, that is you can work him harder. When at this time you may say that a mule is easier raised and at less cost than horse colts, in that they do not require as much care and less food to keep them in good condition. Mule colts will bring more money than an aver age horse colt, even though he may be blemished in some way. He will sell when a blemished horse colt would not sell.
