Hot Weather Counsels.

No magic has been found for abolish
ing hot weather. But observance OF
few simple precautions will make hot
weather endurable.
These precautions can be stated very
briefly. Eat less, hurry less, worry less,
wear less-and bathe more.
Eat less. The body needs compare
lively little fuel in hot weather, and di-
gestive organs should be gwen a partial
rest.
Hurry less. Most wild rushing is need
less in any season. When the mercury
climbs above 90, needless hurry is sin.
Worry less. Fretting and tuning are
Injuries which should be reserved for
the winter months-and used sparingly
then.
Wear less. Very young children, who
suffer most from hot waves, should be
reduced as near to the Edenic costume as
possible.
Battle more. In the great cities, cold
water is always accessible. Where bath
ing facilities are scanty, sponge will be
great aid to comfort and health.
And swat flies. The great increase Of
sickness in hot weather is due less TO
temperature than to injection Of food and
drink and flies are the worst agents Of
infection.

VaricOse Veins.

A varicose vein is an enlarged and
twisted vein, generally in the leg; il is
caused by stagnation Of the blood. Of
ten the patient has an hereditary predis-
position TO varicose veins or he has a
weak heart, with consequent tendency
TO sluggish venous circulation. Any
thing that inteferes with the flow Of
blood through the veins may bring on an
attack. Pressure from tight garter and
very severe muscular exertion are often
exciting causes. Persons who are
obliged to stand for several hours at
time. like policemen. washerwomen,
and saleswomen, are often subject TO this
trouble. Under ordinary conditions, the
blood in the legs must mn uphill con-
stantly, in order to regain the heart. In
the case Of those who stand most of the
day the blood has TO work hard hour af-
hour in order TO overcome the force Of
gravity and as result the veins gradually
enlarge and harden.
In mild cases OF vsricose veins, espe-
cially in young and otherwise healthy
people, the symptoms are very slight.
There is feeling Of weight ir the leg
and dull ache toward the end OF the
day. The ache is somewhat relieved by
the patients resting with the leg some
what raised, so that the blood can flow
back more easily. Sometimes painful
cramps complicate the trouble, and the
eramp is likely 10 return again, until life
becomes burden.
More serious complications are thfom-
bosis (or the cIotting Of fhe blood in the
vein) and phlebitis (or inflammation Of
yein). Often form of eczema appears
in the skin OF the leg, or an ulcer may
arise. When yaricose veins are trouble
some. surgical treatment is advisable; I;
but the miIder cases can be relieved by
restiand proper bsDdaging.

Pennock's Old Blind Mule.

II was my third day on the ranch. Az
daybreak We started herd OF cattle to-
ward Santa Rosa. AZ the end oian hour
We passed lame man who was loading
dead steer upon low rack. As we
went by. he stopped long enough to wave
friendly hand at the boys, and shout
cheerful good morning.
"Who's that ?" | asked.
"That's Pennock. the salvage man.
You'll soon come 10 know him; no one
rides near his plant without stopping"
When the cattle are grazing on green
alfalfa, as all ranch cattle do al some time
while they are being fattened, II is inevi-
table that some of them sieken and die.
Such animals Pennock sought out and
removed to his salvage plant. There he
took off the skin and treated the bodies
for tallow.
The tallow-plant was abarn-lke struc-
ture isolated and lonely. The air tor long
distance round il was malodorous. New
erheless, Pennock lives out his life there.
AT best, his job could not be called at
tractive; yet never have met man
more wholesomely cheerful and even
happy in his fate. II was pleasure just
to meet and talk with him, so winning
was his quiet and friendly personality.
"lt's disagreeable work and hard work
as well; how do you stand il so cheer
fully 2" said 10 him once.
The great tallow-caldrons were tem-
porarily empty, and for the moment PEN
mock had nothing TO do.
"Come round back" he answered. and
at his limping gait he led the way.
Beneath the shade Of solitary fig-tree
stood covered tank. A few PAGES away
an old gray mule, hiiehed to lever,
walked slowly round and round, pump
ing the precious water up into the tank.
"Stone- blind T. Pennock said 81 got
her from the home pasture. There's not
thing to make her pump Il she doesn't
want TO. but you see she keeps al H."
With smile Pennock lifted the tank
cover and handed me dipper Of the COOL
est, sweetest water ! ever drank-pure
nectar, in comparison with the tepid drink
we cot at the bunk-house. No one could
help liking Pennock. and now II was
doubly easy to see why none OF the boys
ever passed the place without stopping.
"The mule is old and blind. but she
docs what work she can do Willingly"
Pennock explained. Sometimes ! sii
and watch her. and never while my tie
rope guides her does she pause or hesi-
tate In her circuit. It's work that's worth
doing; the water in that tank, reckon,
is worth while.
THAT'S what had in mind" he went
on. al was still young when was shot

die. Gradually learned the lesson that
the old blind mule teaches. Ny job Is
not altogether agreeable. but IFS work

10 do, I'm wise enough 10 be coniepted."

Baby's Tomb in Westminster Abbey.

A little rudely sculptured bed.
With shadowy folds OF marble lace;
A quilt of marble. pTinly spread
And folded round baby's face
II seems no more than yesterday
Since the fond mother down the stair
And down the long aisle stole away
And left her baby sleeping there.
But dust upon the cradle lies
And those who priced the baby so
And laid her down TO rest with sighs
Are turned to dust long years ago.
Above the peaceful, pillowed head
Three centuries brood, and strangers creep
And wonder..at the carven bed
But not unwept the baby's sleep,
For wistful mother-eyes are blurred
With sudden mists. as lingerers stay.
And the old dusts are warmed and stirred
With tender teardrops Of today.
Men debut sorrow never dies.
The crowdng years divide in vain.
And the whole world is knit with ties
OF common brotherhood in pain,
OF common share in grief and loss
And heritage in the immortal bloom
OF love. which Towering round its cross,
Made beautiful baby's tomb.

BAY VIEWS HUMBLE
HARRISON BIG five
Fast Local Quintet's Superior
Defense Puzzles Suburbanites
in Hard-Fought Game.
SERIES IS NOW EVEN

Inability to solve the Bay View
Wheelmen Senior quintet's clever
passing cost the Harrison Big Five
a well-contested game on the formers
court yesterday afternoon before an
enthusiastic crowd. The final score
was "a to %. 1t was the second of a
series of games between these rival
| aggregations, the first contest, staged
in Harrison, having resulted in an
easy victory for the West Hudson
Five. Where the third contest will
be played is as yet undecided, but
fans would like to have it played on
neutral court. 1t is figured that
| either team would win on its own
court, Judging from the two battles
| decided to date. Pop Miller's clean
playing was again shining light,
and the lanky Bay View pivot man
was a big help to his teammates all
the way. He showed up very we'll on
the defensive, outjumping Dutch
| Stumpf. Both Miller and Stumpf
were evenly matched in goal ous1ng,
| however, each securing a field goal.
| Stumpf managed to toss in q pafr or
free throws.
1t was rumored last week that
Johnny McGuigan would probably
take the place OF Mike Smolick for
the Harrison five. The fans of Hud-
son County now believe that with
Smolick out of the lineup the chances
of the Harrison team for q success
| full season would be slim. Mike was
| in the limelight again yesterday.

performers have anything on Sir
! Michael when he is right Johnny
Biegner, who was Uniefiy responsible
for his former teams defeat In Harri-
son last week, was also star for the
West Hudsonites. He was evened tr,
with Smolick in. the scoring end, Sc
curing a quartet of neatly placed
field goals.
Wally Kussmaul and Pete Schoen
divided honors in the high scoring
end for the Wheelmen, each getting
four field goals. Kussmaul is played
regularly and Is one of the best bas-
ketballers In this vicinity. while
Schoen, ability artist of the indoor
game, needs no comment. Fred Koer-
maier, who got into little scrap with
an opposing player at the start of the
contest, held his own on the scoring
line with three goals from the field.
Bill Mckinley also scored trio of
field baskets besides making three
points from the penalty mark.
The preliminary contest brought to-
gether the Bay View Juniors and the
Anchor Five, and the result was q
victory for the former. The line up
of the big game follows:

amid balsamic odors and with none
but white night watchmen ON guard,
they can enjoy their beauty sleep
Christmas night and be ready

ito greet the public Thursday morn

birds in the show
Whether because of jealousy or be-
grudging floor space, poultry breeders
and superintendent of poultry shows
in general are antagonistic to pigeons
The pigeon fanciers of America, ris-
ing in revolt, marched upon the gar
den show, carried it by assault and
forced their pigeons down the ap-
palled poultrymen's throats, so that
there will be the finest array OF
pigeons exhibited that the fancy has
seen in many a day. The newest ele-
ment in the pigeon fancy consists of
the ambitious highfiiers, chiefly bred
by aspiring young men of Brooklyn,
the Bronx, Queens, Jersey City, Hobo
ken and Newark.
