MERCHANT HAS PROPER IDEA
Doesn't Like the Way Big City Stores
Are Run and Tells
Why.

The summer visitor in a small sea.
port town was amazed and amused at
the assortment of merchandise dis.
played In the little store at the head
OF the wharf.
The showcase was devoted to an as
sortment of candy at one end and
lot OF cigars and tobacco at the other
end. and no barrier between. Next TO
the showcase stood a motor engine
valued at several hundred dollars.
Thinking to please the proprietor.
says the Youths Companion, the Wis
itor remarked that even the large de-
partment stores in Boston could not
boast Of such collection.
We'll" he said, 81 amt aping them
stores, / can tell you. ] aim TO keep
what my folks want When a man
wants an engine for his bot he wants
II, and IL the fish are running he
can't war to send way to Portland or
Boston for 1t. He wants It when he
does, then and there"
After a little pause he continued: IT
don't like the way they do business in
them big stores, anyway. Why, when
you go into a store up to Boston the
first thing you know somebody asks
you what you want.
"Now, never do anything like that.
If man comes into my place I pass
the time O. day and ask him to set,
and after he's set and talked while
II he wants anything he'll tell me. l

Chance In Man.

Men are not the same through all
divisions of their ages; time, expert
ence, self-reflections, and Gods mer-
cies, make in some we'll tempered
minds kind OF translation before
death, and men to differ from them
selves as well as from other persons.
Hereof the old world afforded many
examples to the infamy of latter ages.
wherein men too often live by the
rule of their inclinations; so that.
without any astral prediction, the first
day gives the last; men are common
ly as they were; or rather, as bad dis
positions run into worse habits. the
evening doth not crown, but sourly con-
cludes the day.-Sir Thomas Browne.

HAS NEAT TRAP FOR INSECTS
Device Patented BY An oregonian For
the Protection of His Apple
Orchard.

In the country all sorts of homely
devices are used to catch the bugs
and kill them, and an Oregon man.
who probably had his apple orchard
overrun by some destructive species,
patented a trap for the pests.
A barrel has pieces cut out of the
upper portion and is halfAlled with
rotten or bruised apples or some other
odoriferous fruit. On top of the bar
rel is placed a pan partially filled with
water, oil or some poisonous liquid.
From the apex OF a tripod that keeps
the basin from falling off the barrel
hangs lantern.
In the daytime the insects will be
attracted by the odor of the fruit, and
in flying up to feast many of them are
likely to fly into the water. At night
the lantern is lighted and bugs will
come from afar to flutter against IL
and meet their death in the liquid be-
low.

WATER AS AID
TO DIGESTION
Medical investigators Have Concluded
That Plentiful Drinking at Meals
is Distinctly Beneficial.

Medical investigators have reached
the conclusion that instead Of being
harmful TO drink quantities of water
with meals 1t is distinctly beneficial.
Recent experiments along this line are
described in The New York Medical
Journal The writer says:
Not long ago It was almost the rule
for physicians to discourage the habit
of drinking water except in minimum
amounts with meals, on the ground
that the gastric juice was thereby d.
luted and that digestion was impaired
and delayed This opinion is still held
by many physicians, and is the pet
hobby Of a great many diet cranks
and cranks-profession and anna
teur.
con the other hand. there have been
many who believed that an appetite
as widely distributed as the desire TO
drink at the time of eating, an appe-
tite seen in so many animals as we'll
as in man, was a perfectly safe guide
to trust, and that it was obviously
provision of Nature TO supply water
which was needed at this time.
Recent experimental evidence
seems TO confirm the latter view. The
work of Foster and Lambert has
shown that water is distinct stimu-
liant to the gastric mucosa, and that
instead of the presence of water In
the stomach resulting in a dilute gas
trio juice, it, on the other hand, occa-
sions the secretion, of a juice of higher
concentration than under ordinary cir
cumstances.
"More recently Fowler and Hawk
have made a study of the metabolic
influences of copious water drinking
with meals. A normal man, 22 years
of age, was studied for a preliminary
period and then for a period of FIVE
days. during which he drank three
quarts of water a day with his meals.
The result showed en- increase In
weight of two pounds.

Fish Influenced by the Moonr

A recent report of the Scotch fish.
cry board mentioned a curious habit
which, according to fishermen, Is as.
sociated with fish; the phases of the
moon, Il was asserted, have a very di.
rect connection with the willingness
of fish to be netted.
To test this theory statistics were
obtained of the catch of herrings from
1860 to 1900, with the result that the
biggest catches we're found TO have
coincided with new moon and the
smallest with full moon. The report
suggested that a full moon enabled
the nets to be seen much more easily
than at the times of new moon or the
crescent phase or that the tides
which vary with the lunar phases
were possible factors in the natter
Westminster Gazette.

STREETS FULL OF SNOW.
Street Commissioner Busy Removing
Traces of the Storm.

The street cleaning force of the city
is busy today removing piles of snow
which line the streets as n result OF
the storm which struck this section
yesterday and blew with unabated fury
all day. Progress is slow owing to the
great amount of snow that has fallen,
some of the piles being three or four
feet deep were thrown aside by the
snow plows, and it will require several
days to remove IL.
Notwithstanding the severity of the
storms, Superintendent Ralph of the
Houghton County Traction company

day, the tracks being kept open by fire.

Piles

Dlsagreeable treatment with oint-
ments or suppositories usually fails
TO cure piles and cutting them off wont
remove the cause. Such treatment
only moderates the outside effects OF
the disease and fails to remedy the
inside cause. The up-to-date doctors
now use Internal medicines, to free
the circulation in the lower bowel, and
so remove the disease.
