The Unity Of Life.

There Is nothing. think, that
brings home to one more conclusively
the unity OF life, and therefore the
unity of knowledge of that life. than
the attempt to study any particular
subject by itself and conflne yourself
to 1t alone. You find very soon that
you cannot do so. No aspect of life
can be separated from the rest and
understood even In any small degree
without some knowledge Of the rest
of life. No part of life stands alone.
Every phenomenon of life is the re-
suit, not Of one or two causes alone.
but Of the interaction Of innumerable
causes. To get near the understand.
ing Of only one item you must be able
to estimate more or less truly all the
forces that make life, and the objec-
tive OF life. AS with the eddy of a
river, to estimate it you must know
not merely the eddy. but much also
of the river. its volume and Its speed.
the density of its waters. the configu-
ration of its banks and its general
direction. The observation of the
eddy only would lead you into the
widest fallacies.-The Atlantic.

AS for clothes. the rule is simple
for bride, bridegroom or attendant.
Wear clothes that would be suitable
for any function timed as is the we'd

dressed in formal street attire. An
afternoon wedding needs the formal
afternoon clothes that would be worn
at an afternoon reception. And for
the evening wedding a white-clad
bride is met by bridegroom in dress
clothes that are the proper foil for
her own.

ENpOSiTOR WINDS UP
BUSINESS AFFAIRS

The Ely Mining Expositor. which
about four months ago suspended
publication as daily. but continued
as weekly. issued as Sunday
ness. the issue of last Sunday,
January 31st. having been the last.
Reason for this course is ascribed to
the business depression that since
the outbreak of the war in Europe
has brought reyerses and worry to
business men generally throughout
the district. Editor Schwallenberg,
who was managing the Expositor
newspaper and printing plant for
the owner. has made as good an
effort as anyone could make to keep
things going. but it has proved a
case of attempting the impossible.
At the present time the business is
not here and the venture of the Ex-
positor as a weekly was bound to
fail from the fact that the weekly
field was already we'll taken care of,
and the need of third weekly was
not manifest.
1t has been case where work,
worry and conscientious effort avail
ed not, but the fault was one of cir
cumstances rather than personal fall
nre, and the friends of Mr.. Schwal-
lenberg regret that it was his lot to
be in charge when the owner issued
the edict to close up the business.
In speaking of the suspension of
the business, Mr. Sohwallenberg
stated that when it was found i'm
possible to continue the daily. he
thought the paper could be made to
pay as weekly. but this was not the
case. and last month he requested
the owner to put someone else in
charge to manage the paper. Shortly
after this he was instructed to shut

Adams Named
as Physician
NAMING OF NEW DOCTOR AT
HOSPITAL AND DISCUSSION OF
TWEBvE-MONTH TERM LEND
INTEREST TO MEETING.

The deceptive glamour of a twelve
month term was the first reel In
movie picture last Monday. The scene
was laid in the commissioners room
in the county building. The appoint
ment of DR.. A. F. Adams as county
physician for the ensuing three
months was one of the events that
made the meeting anything but dull
and unattractive.
DIR. l. Alexander called the boards
attention to the frightful waste that
resulted through the policy of nam
ing a physician to care for indigents
for not more than one quarter Of the
year. This suggestion held the at
tention of the commissioners more
than a mere discussion of common
place matters, but the individual
members were unable to see the ben
efits to be derived through the pro-
posed diversion.
After Commissioner North had
nominated Adams for the physicians
berth, Mcdonald declared that he did
mt believe that he had treated the
old board right, and that he had made
disparaging remarks about the mem
bers "The bills of Adams and Early
in the Ferry case were excessive"
continued Mcdonald, and Adams
claim against the county in the Pear
son case was not just charge against
the county The commissioners are
not infallible and want to be treated
fairly Mcdonald remained silent
while the votes of Weber and North
gave Adams the position that he de-
sired.
DR. Alexander contended that the
naming of a physician for year
would be a policy of retrenchment.
He believed that saving of 5000 a
year could be effected if drugs were
bought in bulk. He intimated that
