LIGHT BATTLES WITH
 DARKNESS IN HEAVENS

The powers of Light and Darkness battled for supremacy in the sky last night when the Northern Lights flashed their brilliance across the heavens. The battle, which lasted for several hours, began by wedge of
 light being shot into the heavens from the northern horizon. The pow
 CT of darkness quickly rallied it's scattered forces and the generals be-
 gan moving their armies with light ming rapidity, sending out advance guards to suddenly withdraw them to concentrate their force against the power of darkness which threatened the line. Isolated forces, too distant to rejoin the main forces, were swal-
 lowed up and lost.
 Endorsements for light appeared and its lines were extended across the domain of darkness in an unbroken line from the point of invasion to the west, where the sun had set few hours before. After the battle had ragged for hours the power of light flashed victory in the colors of the
 rainbow, but it's triumph was short duration, as the enemy suddenly appeared in it's midst and soon the
 stars only remained as sentinels oi the battle-ground.

All these firms and others are un- dorstood to take the view that the first concern of the United States must be to foster it's own commerce, no matter which may be ben fited.

Inquiries at the National City bank as to whe- ther it had met any objections to its participating in the proposed transac- ton brought the statement that not one of the institutions 2,500 cores bonding banks scattered throughout the country. had raised the slightest objection instead many encouraging T. tiers have been received.

The partaking of a slice of pine
apple after meal is quite in accord

since fresh pineapple juice contains
a remarkably active digestive prin-
ciple similar to pepsin This prin-
ciple has been termed "bromelin,"
and so powerful upon proteids that
it will digest as much as 1000 times
its weight within a few hours. Its

which it is subjected. When a slice
of fresh pineapple is placed upon a
raw beefsteak the surface of the
steak becomes gradually gelatinous.
