Better Health and Longer Lite

The judgment of the world has been
reversed al this point in the last halt
century. Then it was believed that al,
cchol prolonged life, and not only pre-.
vented disease but WAS the supreme
curative agent. Hut today such notions
are set down as discrcdited supcrsti-
tons. 1t has been proved that even
moderate drinkers, instead Of being i'm
mune are more liable to contract disease,
and il they become i'll their chances OF
recovcry'arc much less rs their system
has less resistance, while medicines are
less effective whcr given them. The
experience OF life insurance is SO dccl,-
i've at this point that many companies
grant total abstainers lower rates and
additional privileges, while all compan-
lcs are coming to discriminate more aud
more against the users Of liquors. Doc
tors are becoming emphatic against the
use Of alcohol as medicinal agent 50

sas, who has always been skeptical
as to horned rabbits, has been shown
at last. And incidentally 1t remained
for him to discover how there hap
pens to be horned rabbits in Kan
sas. Marion T. Jones of Baker
brought the head of horned rabbit
to Brownies Office the other day.
He had seen statements in the pa
per that there was no such thing.
and brought the head along SO that
he could show the editor that editors
don't know everything. He shot
the rabbit on an island in the Mis-
sour river. up near Rulo, Neb. The
head had five little horns, prOngs or
growths of some sort on it two on
the top, two at the side aud one I'M
der the jaw. Otherwise it looked
Ike any other rabbit. Jones ac-
counts for this kind Of rabbits by
telling that years ago wagon circus
broke down up north of Falls CITY
and that bunch of horned rabbits
brought over from Germany escaped.
These have mingled with the native
rabbits until the horned rabbit of to-
day is the result.
