HOW ID LIVE
 ONE HUNDRED YEARS"
THIS IS THE NAME OF A NEW BOOK BY EUGENE CHRIS
 THAN, F. s. D.

Eugene Christian, F. $. D., the worlds greatest Food Scientist, has just published new book called How to Live 100 Years"
 This book tells you what to eat according to your age, your work and the time of the year. It teaches you how to select, how to combine and so as to establish perfect digestion and assimilation of food and perfect elimination of waste. In other words, it teaches you how to cure all stomach and intestinal disorders by removing their causes, which is wrong eating
 If you have indigestion, gas, fermen. tation, sour stomach or any such dis orders after meal, this book tells you how to put the remedy on your table at the next meal
 pr. Christian shows tha. all animals how to proportion your food at meals except man live about eight times as long as it takes them to get their growth. If man should do this he would live nearly 200 years; but civi- lized man dies at the average age of g. He begins to lose his teeth, his eyes and his hair, and drops into his grave only few years after he is grown
 Dr. Christian shows that 22 per cent of all the human beings born into the world die before they are one year old. Twenty-Five per cent more die before their fifth birthday, anu more than half of the human race die before they are twenty-five.
 All other animals on the globe live eight times as long as it takes them to get their growth. Man .breathes the same air, drinks the sHme water, lives under the same sunshine, but differs from his brother animals only in his eating, therefore Dr. Christian shows cOnclusively that this appalling discrepancy must be on account or his eating habits and he has proved that his theory is true by curing over 23.0O0 people within the past ten years by teaching them what to eat and gives the secret of his methods.
 This book does not disarrange or how to eat. How to Live 100 Years" upset the family table It teaches the what foods the meal should be composed of, so as to make them harmonious and perfectly and healthy.
 This book is beautifully bound in velum, and gold lettered. Send one dollar to Dr. Eugene Christian, 213 West 18th Street, New York City, and you will receive this life-saving book by return mail, and if it is not worth it's weight in gold your money will be promptly refunded to you.

TRY THIS REMEDY

One of the most aggravating gar
den pests is the corn ear worm. The
earliest planting may. escape these
worms entirely but there has been
no hope for the second and later plant
ings and large part of the pleasure
of raising sweet corn for table use is
taken away by the presence of these
worms in the ears.
A request for information that will
circumvent this pest brought the letter
below which will no doubt be thank
fully read by readers all over the
State who raise garden sweet corn
Mr.. Editor: You ask how to pre-
vent green corn in the garden from
becoming wormy.
Here is remedy, simple, but sure
When the six appears, sprinkle well
with cayenne pepper, and you will have
clean roasting ears.-Exchange

humboldt range of mountains, and a
mile south of Lovelock, Nevada. In
the region of the lake he entered the
land of the Piute, the chief of whom
was Winnemucca. The trail makers
were met by the Indian chieftain with
open arms.
General Fremont and his party were
guests of the Piute band for many
days Familiarity with other tribes
had taught Fremont method of COM
munication by means of signs. He
asked the Indian chief if he, in his
great wisdom, could tell the white
man whence came the red men-their
origin The aged chief by signs indi-
Gated that the history of the Indians
went back to the beginning of the
world. 1t told him his ancestors had
driven a whole nation into huge cav

ca had learned the white mans tongue

RELICS OF AN OLD RACE
Civilization That Antedaes Anything Known
History Said to Be a Discovery

Nhe archaeological department of the
University of Nevada has nearly com
Rleted the exploration of a cave in Ne
yada, sealed up by nature 5000 years
ago. 1t contains relics of what is be-
Heved to be the ancient race from
which the American Indians sprung, a
race far older than the Aztecs. Among
the things brought to light is skull
declared to be more than 5000 years
old certainly and possibly in existence
several hundred thousand years ago.
If these surmises are correct, it is
older than the Piltdown skull, found
in Kent, Finland.
Along with the skull were found
many relics of prehistoric race IN a
remarkable state of preservation, be
cause, they have been Theoretically
sealed in Natures own preservatives.
The first mention of this ancient CIV
ilization that is remembered by white
men dates back to 1874, when Cen
efal Fremont led from California a lit
tie band of writes across new trail
through the Rockies. He followed the
Humboldt river until he came to the

DEPARTMENT OF
FORESTRY

Says Ed. Allen: "A tree will make
a million trees, A match has head,
but it does not think. You nave to do
all the thinking for it,"
Visitors returning from the San
Francisco Exposition speak particu-
larly OF the motion picture of the
great Sisson fire, in the government
theatre, Palace of Liberal Arts, and
this in spite of the abundance of mo-
ton pictures in connection with COM
mel cial exhibits of various kirds. Not
only is the awful g andeur impress
sive of this fearful dolacaust in the
heart of the great timber trees of the
Sierras, but the details of fighting fire
portrayed to thousands with vivid
ness that is not obtained by hearing
and reading OF forest fires or viewing
still pictures.
The picture starts with the possible
origin of the fire from a glowing
match thrown away by a careless
hunter (and this was staged, to com
plete the series, in Logan Canyon, in
Utah, and the film pasted on so as to
just precede that taken on the ground
of the actual 6re). The discovery of
the fire by the guard at the lookout
tower is shown the spread of the
alarm the telephoning for more help,
the rush to the fire, the building of a
fire trail and back firing, and admins
tering first aid to the injured. The
approach of the fire to the town of
Sisson and its elimination in the de-
struction of the town is fairly thrill
ing.
1t Is hoped that by the impression
OF thousands by these pictures with
the no longer tolerable destruction
of government resources by carelessly
started fires strong public sentiment
will be formed against such waste.
Forest fires which spread from a
match carelessly thrown away, an un-
guarded camp fire, or from the
smouldering fire of farmer, famed

forest boundary, are as unnecessary as
war itself, and by any process OF rea-
soning indefensible.
From every point OF view. forest
fires are a detriment The very men
hired yearly TO put them out could
much more profitably be employed in
building roads, so that the hunters,
prospecors, tourists, campers and
home builders can reach regions and
resources now inaccessible or attained
at great inconvenience. Their time
might be better utilized in planting
trees, or improving the forest in many
other ways. And yet each year more
fires are started by human agency
than by lightning, despite the fact
that those who start them are repre-
sentative OF classes Of people who
suffer greatest cause of them.
Thirty years ago a father and son
herded cattle on alternate days in
northern Kansas-the same cattle,
with the same pony-on open range
surrounded by fields of corn and other
crops. firing of the somewhat dry
blue stem and drier buffalo grass, the
cows would make supreme effort to
reach the corn, sometimes succeeding
when the less alert hoy was in charge.
Racing through the field with the
herder after them, they would knock
off ears of corn, and break off the rap
idly growing brittle stalks, doing great
damage, While chasing one out,
others would enter so that the pros
pect of removing the herd without
help became almost hopeless, and
there was grave danger that the cows
would eat so much of the corn as to
hazard their lives. my boy" said
the father, u succeed in keeping my
eyes on the cows all the time, and by
always keeping between them and the
corn field toward which they are graz
ing. If you wait until they raise their
heads and start, the struggle is diff
cult II not lost" And the boy found,
by following this simple suggestion,
that herding become relatively easy
matter. Would not application of
somewhat similar principles of watch
fulness prevent many forest holo-
caust?

A stigma is cast upon all campers
by the indifferent, unidentified camper
who leaves in his wake through the
forest unextinguished camp fires.
Equally accountable for absolute law
lessness is the farmer or ranchman
who permits his fire for clearing land
or burning stubble TO get away and
consume thousands of dollars worth
of the peoples property. Surely when
the great treasure at stake is thought
fully considered, patriotic citizens can
we'll afford to cease burning trash and
extinguish camp fires during the en-
suing two months of greatest fire

Since it is part of their act, "The

lghtful entertainers, are supposed moi
to be on the bill at the Orpheum, vet
they provide one of the best of tba

Fred Lyon, the leader" from the or.
chestra. The singing of the four is
excellent and comedy is not lacking ia
add to the entertainment.
Emma Carus has brought her distinct
personality to bear on the success of
the new bill and is especially good in
her Tlpperary parodies. Her partner.
Carl Randall, is a dancer worth seeing
The couple do the only dancing in the
show, and bear the responsibility very
satisfactorily.
Bert Fitzgibbon, "back again where

above all, and for that reason funny;
his singing is good, but his acting is
better. The playlet presented by Ed.
ward Esmonds and company is familiar
to theatregoers, and, although not
line seems to have been changed, it is
still as pleasing piece as it was at
former presentations at the Orepheum.
The ease with which one can recall al

show how well the acting is done by
the two performers.
