Children Point the Way to Health

The public schools are the big field

for the physical and mental growth of
the child. 1t means correcting physi-

A fire at Round Mountain Lake in
the Rangeley region recently destroy
ed two camps and burned one beyond
repairing. There was some insurance
The camps cost about $500 each. They
will not be rebuilt before spring. Dion
o. Blackwell is the proprietor of these
camps. and it is well known as a pop
ular place for sportsmeu. 1t is not
known how the fire caught, but one of
the camps was occupied by guests and
an open fire burning and it is sup
posed spark started the fire, but as it
happened at the dinner hour 1t was
not discovered in time to save much.
The guests lost their clothes, etc. The
two gentlemen who were stopping
there were Messrs. II. A Robinson and
Thomas Maugel of Boston.
The many friends at Rumford of Fe-
lix Landry who were looking forward
to enjoying some deer meat when Fee
lix returned from his hunting trip,
were disappointed. Felix brought home
deer and had it dressed at Ephriam
Henry's market. but only one side was
good. Felix, in explaining this said
that he shot the deer at o'clock
in the afternoon but did not find the
animal until 10 A. M. the next day.
The deer had laid on one side all
night and this left the other side ex-
posed to the cold, which spoiled it
for eating. Felix's friends are sorry
that after having so much trouble
and expense In getting the deer,
only half of it was eatable. Felix
should test the next deer he shoots
before bringing it home.

As producers and builders, the
American people excel all previous
and we are present-day
marvel in business efficiency, but in
dealing with foreign countries we
are a sorry lot Of traders. Ever since
VIM. Penn traded the Indians hand
full Of trinkets for what is now the
State of Pennsylvania, the American
people have been selling their birth
right to foreigners for a mess OF
pottage, so to speak.
We export over $50, 000,0 900 Of cat
tie and their products per annum,
which feeds the nations Of Europe,
and our American heiresses spend
similar sum in buying and maintain
ing counts, dukes and titled peerages.
These foreign noblemen are, as
rule, absolutely worhless-in fact
become a perpetual liability-for 1t
costs more money to operate and
keep them in repair than it does to
run our cotton mills. European roy
atty puts the black sheep of its fam
ilites ON the block and our rich Am
erican girls buy them and we virtual
" exchange railroads, wheat fields
and millions Of dollars worth OF
products Of farm, mine and factory
for titled paupers who could not be
resold for any sum. 1t does not re-
quire foreign treaties. fleet OF war
vessels or tariff revision to stop this
enormous loss. II needs only COM
mon sense in the homes OF the rich.
We export $ls,O00,O00 of lumber
and timber, and American tourists
spend similar amount in motoring
over Europe and sightseeing in for
eign lands although the most en-
chanting scenes Of the world are OF
the American continent.

The trend in sales abroad has been
steadily upward in recent months.

practically equal to that for the en-
tire fiscal year 1895, double that Of

BIo ORE BODY Is FOUND
IN PlM0S ALTOS MINE

j. T. Oglesby Of the c. & o. Min
ing company, while on a visit here
from Pinos Altos, displayed some fine
specimens of ore which his company
is taking from the Langston mine at
that camp. One nugget he had weigh
ed 10 ounces and was worth $500,
assaying so per cent gold.
Mr.. Oglesby stated that all the
high grade ore taken from the mine
was being sent to Silver City and
placed in bank there for safe keep
ing. The low grade ore is shipped
to the Copper Queen smelter al
Douglas. Ariz., for treatment. Two
ears were shipped during the past
week and the returns on one was
$4,000.
According to Mr.. Oglesby, the hills
around Pinos Altos are fairly alive
with prospectors and the activity
shown there is the greatest in II
years.
Because Of the war in Europe, thu
Hurley and Santa Rita camps are ex
periencing u dearth Of activity. thu
demand for copper being greatly cur
tailed. According to F. @. Janney

reduced fifty per cent. He says
great revival will follow the wal
