Youth and Ege.

Physicians have for some time about
made up their minds that the use Of
oxygen in lung affections Of the aged
is, in spite of the promise at its in
PRODUCTION, of very little service, I'm.
less perhaps to prolong fading life for
a few hours. 1t is interesting to find,
then, that just at this time comes the
announcement that this gas in connec.
ton with mechanical artificial respira.
tion may actually be life saving for
Infants just born, in whom breathing
has not been established normally as
yet.
Such is the way Of life. Young mi.
tial vitality can take advantage of the
slightest help offered to it. Age with
waning vital force loses it's grasp even
of what seems sure aid. Youth will be
served.

Branding the Innocent.

When a witness under cross-examlfl.
alton is admonished to answer Yes
or mo" to all questions and is then
asked "Have you ever stopped beat.
ing your Wife?" he feels that some
thing is wrong with system of court
procedure that puts him in that posi-.
ton. Either Eyes" or mo" convicts
him for beating his wife at some time
or other. Such trick questions are
heard in court every day and the wit
hess gets little satisfaction out of the
assurance that he can explain on re-
examination if the lawyer on his side
of the case thinks it worth while to
give him chance and does not forget
to do so.--New York Commercial

Summons

In the District Court of the Fourth
Judicial District of the State of Mon
tana, in and for the County of Missoula.
Hattie Billings, plaintiff. VS.. Henry
p. Billings, defendant.
The State of Montana sends greetings
to the above-named defendant:
You are hereby summoned to answer
the complaint in this action which is
filed in the office of the clerk of this
court, copy of which is hereby served
upon you, and to file your answer and
serve copy thereof upon the plain
tiff's attorney within twenty days after
the service of this summons, exclusive
of the day of service; and in case Of
your failure to appear or answer,
judgment will be taken against you by
default, for the relief demanded in the
complaint.
Plaintiff for cause of action alleges
that plaintiff and defendant were law
fully married on the 18th day of Sep
TENDER, A. D. 1889, and ever since
have been and are still husband and
wife. That plaintiff has lived and re-
sided within the state for more than
one year prior to the commencement Of
this action. That the issue of said
marriage consists of two children,
Callie Billings, aged % years, and Mel
lie Billings, aged Is years, each Of
whom are now Of legal age. The plain
tiff has performed each and all of her
martial duties to and toward the de-
PENDANT, but that the defendant has
totally disregarded his martial duties
to and toward the plaintiff, that he has
been guilty of extreme cruelty to and
toward the plaintiff and has inflicted
and threatened to infict on the plain
tiff grevious bodily and mental injury
dangerous to her life and safety and
that such course of conduct by the de-
PENDANT has existed and he has per-
sisted in same for more than one year
prior to the commencement of this &C
ton, all of which justly and reasonably
is of such nature and character as to
render the marriage relationship be-
tween the parties perpetually unreason-
able and intolerable to the injured
party. Plaintiff asks for the sum of
$4,000 attorneys fees and costs of ac-
ton and that the bonds of matrimony
be dissolved and for an absolute divorce
from said defendant.

court, this 9Th day Of December, A. D.

Many Goats Died.

Those who are familiar with
conditions in coal mining towns
know that many of the foreign
miners keep goats for the sake
of their rich and healthful milk,
and because of the ability of
these animals to forage for them
selves, at little cost to the owner.
The foot and mouth disease kill
ed about twenty of Hazelton's
goats a short time ago. Many a
poor little kid" will now be de-
prived of its best nourishment.
Since we are on the subject of
goats, let US say that goats milk
is considered by physicians as a
better food for invalids than cows
milk, and at some hospitals ar
rangements have been made to
secure a regular supply. In
many places on the Pacific coast.
well-to-do American families keep
goats in preference to cows.

Having learned a sad lesson
from observation, that a genera
ton of irresponsible parents bring
forth a generation of irresponsi-
BILE offspring, the better class of
Jews of New York have started
long chain of training schools
for both parents and children. A
writer in Harpers Weekly makes
comment as follows: "All this
for Jews by Jews, but the Gen.
tiles toe have the same problem
both in kind and degree, and
may perhaps learn by this great
undertaking. For the need is
real and general, that somehow.
reverence for parents, under
standing of growing boys and
girls, and standards of conduct
should be taught to all kinds of
uninstructed parents, and to all
kinds Of undisciplined youth"

Digest Of Liquor Laws.

Scoville's Digest of the Liquor
Laws of Pennsylvania from 100
to 1914 and Rutt's Statistical
Comparisons of the Liquor ques-
ton for the United States and
Pennsylvania, indicates the con-
tents of the Manual For Temper
ance Workers" just issued by
the Inter- County No-License Fed
Grafton of Pennsylvania, West
Chester, Pa.
This book, comprising twenty
four pages and cover, size 6x9,
is particularly interesting at this
time because of the movement a.
gainst the Liquor Traffic in near
ly every county of the State
through their annual License
Courts. 1t gives the Brooks High
License Law, arranged topically
indexed, and in such shape that
a No-License man can be his own
lawyer, to some extent, and en-
ter his chosen warfare well in
formed and enlightened on the
fine points of the Liquor Laws of
Pennsylvania.
On the other hand a Liquor
man will find the book suited to
his needs in the information it
gives him for the conduct of his
business according to law and
the legal requirements of his Ii
cense.
Well classified, as it is, this
publication seems to meet a pres
ent demand. Price 25c by mail,

How to Tan a Hide.

The method de scribed may be
used for all small skins, such as
sheep, goat, fox, wolf, rabbit and
any others when an open skin is
desired.
The skin should be removed
from the carcass before decompo-
sition has advanced to a noticeable
extent, freed from blood and dirt
by wiping with a damp rag, then
combed until quite dry. Apply
a good covering of salt, rubbing
it into every part of the flesh
side. Roll the skin, flesh side in
and set aside in a place free from
rats, etc., for about ten hours,
or over night.
With a very sharp knife or ra-
zor remove all Jumps of fat and
flesh. Work the skin in gasoline
for an hour or two. Caution
Away from all fires and outside
of a building.) Then hang up in
the shade to dry. This will re-
quire but few minutes.
Stretch the skin, flesh side up,
on a fiat surface. Clamps are
good to hold the skin: tacks Of
ten cause large h oles. The
stretching should be done with
care and not enough to pull the
hair apart. Excessive stretching
will develop thin spots, which
will wear rapidly.
Prepare an acid-salt solution
by dissolving two pounds of salt
in gallon of boiling water, and
when this is cold, add a fluid
ounce of strong sulfuric acid.
Mix we'll.
Wet a rag with the solution
and apply it to the skin every
little while for three or four
days. Then allow the skin to be-
come almost dry, remove it from
the drying board. Now work
the flesh side back and forth ov-
er the edge of a smooth piece of
hardwood-a good shovel handle
will do-until the skin is soft.
If the flesh side should be hard
or rough in spots it may be fin
ished with sandpaper. DIR. Char

COAL
PRODUCTION
DECREASES
Increasing Use Of Petroleum
and Gas as Fuel Givena
Cause.

WASHINGTON, July 1O.-o Oklahoma
produced 1855, 61S short tons OF coal
in 1914, valued at $S,2of,01'5 This
was a decrease of 4.25 per cent in
quantity and 39I per cent in value
from the production of 1913, anu was
due to the displacement OF coal by
petroleum and gas as fuel, follow-
ing the remarkable increase IN the
oil production of Oklahoma and Tex,
as. which was not fully offset by the
opportunities furnished by the COLO
RADIO strike.
Oklahoma continues to show h1gn
percentage of coal shot off the solid,
dangerous practice encouraged by
the laws of the state, which compel
payment of wages on basis OF mine
run>coal The record for 1914, now
ever, may be considered an improve
ment over that of 1918. the quantity
of powder mined" coal decreasing
from 1911 ,2IS tons in 1913 to 2,SzO,-
729 tons in 1914, the production CT
machine mined coal increased from
go ,629 tons. or 16.1 per cent OF the
total in 1913 to l,053,526 tons, or 26.Dl
per cent OF the total in 1914.
The number of days the men we're
able to work in 1914 showed marked
Improvement over the two preceding
years. The average time made by the
s,o7s men employed was 2G5 days, as
compared with 1904 men for 19f days
in 1913, and s,785 men for ia days
in 1912. The average total production
per man in 1914 was 494 tons. against
4a1 tons in 1913, and the average
daily production by each employe was
increased from Pa tons In 1913 to
l2.41 tons in 1914. Less time was lost
in 1914 by reason of strikes than In
1918. a total of 1926 men in 1914 hav-
ing been affected for an average Of
only 81 days.
According to the bureau of mines
there were 81 fatal accidents in the
coal mines of Oklahoma in 1914, as
compared with % in 1913.
