PRESENT PRESIDENT
 WITH CANE CUT
From Stump Which Was Tree Before The Glacial Pe-
 riOd.
Special to Independent.

Spokane, Wash, Oct. II. President Taft has among the souvenirs of his western trip a cane cut from a stump, which scientists declare was a tree be- fore the glacial period. The wood was found in the valley of the south fork of the Old Man river in the southern part of the province of Alberta by Profess sor w. s. Foster, a geologist and explorer, living at Spokane. The cane, which is valued at S5,OOO was presented by Edwin T. Co., man, president of the chamber of commerce, on behalf of the people of Spokane.
 '"The stump, which stood in a peat bed, was found beneath 50 feet of glacial wash," said Pro- lessor Foster, giving a history of the discovery, land preserved to the present day by one of the wonderful freaks of nature. The peat, from which the stump was taken, is on a sandstone forma- tion and is about three feet ir thickness. SeaWeeds and flag stocks found nearby also were well preserved.
 "This peat bed was uncovered by the wearing away of the gla- cial wash by floods and the flow of the Old Man river. There is not the least question in my mind that the tree grew before the glacial period, more than 25O,OOO years ago, but so far l have not been able to ascertain the kind of wood it is.
 "The discovery was made not long ago in the Frank district, which is 25O miles north of Spo- kane and fully 400 miles east of the Pacific ocean. The presence of we'll preserved seaweed and fiag-stock in abundance, buried under 60 feet of glacial deposit, appears to be sufficient proof of it's antiquity, though I have much other evidence of scientific character to bear out all of my assertions.
 "More than that, am prepar. ed to satisfy any one posted or such things by showing them the stump from which the wood was cut, also the formation in which the discovery was made"

she seemed graver, sweeter, than
when I last had seen her. / say, my

My companion was more expert in

the crowd had somewhat thinned

this latter was none other than my
whilom friend Jack cambridge. For a
wonder, he was most unduly sober,
and he made, as I have said, no bad
figure in his finery. He was very
merry and just trife loud of speech,
but, being very intimate in Mr. Folks
household, he was warmly welcomed
by that gentleman and by all around
him.

FEED YOUNG GIRLS
Must Have Right Food While Growing.

Great care should be taken at the
critical period when the young girl is
lust merging into womanhood that the
diet shall contain that which is up
building and nothing harmful.
At that age the structure is being
formed and if formed of a healthy,
sturdy character. health and happiness
will follow; on the other hand un-
healthy cells may be built in and a
sick condition slowly supervene which,
If not checked, may ripen into a
chronic condition and cause lifelong
suffering.
A young lady says:
Coffee began to have such an effect
on my stomach IA few years ago that I
finally quit using it. 1t brought on
headaches, pains in my muscles, and
nervousness.
I tried to use tea in its stead, but
found its effects even worse than those
I suffered from coffee. Then for a long
time drank milk at my meals, but at
last it palled on me- A friend came to
the rescue with the suggestion that I
try Postum.
.sI did so. only to find at first, that
didn't fancy it. But had heard of SO
many persons who had been benefited
by its use that 1 persevered. and when
I had it made right-according to d.

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD &
Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon Your communi-
cation will be treated in strict confidence.
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had a personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Raw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics- They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in healthy condition and
corrects constipation In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are % feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, Indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney. ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailnent expect to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health II
I had my way I would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths .f the cathartics that ara
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calornel,
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.
Regular size bottle, containing As pills.

TEXAS EXHIBIT At

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 23.-The Texas
exhibit at the Pittsburg Land Show
is attracting more attention than the
display from any other state. No other
state shows full line OF agricultural
products. The Texas bale OF Gotten is
the center Of more attention than
probably any other single article ex-
hibited, as a majority of the people
in attendance have never seen one
before.
One of the unique features of the
show is the daily issue of the San
Benito Light in the Texas booth.
The quality of the Texas ;ruit and
vegetables ranks alongside that o.
California products, which have hith-

this line. Texas has undoubtedly sur
passed every other state in the a.
