January 4, when the prohi-
bition law goes into effect,
you will have a nice supply
on hand.
Don't flatter yourself you'll

Don't get n lot of so-called

ton that druggists and "blind

Drowning Season Here.

Don't rock the boat! It is not mere
ly a foolish sort of joke to do it; II
is very frequently murderous OF
suicidal joke. II you cannot swim dc
net wade out where the water is UP
to your chin. If you do, you may sud
denly step into hole that lifts the
water above your mouth and nose
and when that happens the chances
are large that it will be your funeral
the next day or as soon as your re-
mains can be found. Don't dive from
a high place without being sure the
water is not so shallow as to result
in your head striking bottom. Don't
crowd five people into boat made for
three, or three people into a boat
made for two. Don't play foolish
pranks such as pushing boy who
cannot swim into deep water. Don't
go out on the bay in small motor
boat A storm may come up and your
small ship be capsized.
The drowning season is here. There
has never been a summer within the
memory of the Oldest citizen Of the
city that has not been marked by
drowning tragedies.

Potatoes and RuttermiIk.

An Irishwoman well expressed, the
other day, the value of the national
diet of potatoes and buttermilk. when
was young" she said, I'VE never
heard of consumption. The people
were content with potatoes and butter
milk. Now they must have meat and
tea. They are healthy enough as chill
dren, but few grow up strong. They
become consumptive as they grow
They cannot afford good meat, or
enough of it, and they will not eat the
potatoes and milk that would cost
them little and keep them strong" Po-
tatoes are more nourishing If boiled
or baked in their skins. The Irish
know this; and, passing the open doors
of cottages today, one may still some
times see the brown, smoking balls
turned out of the big pot onto the
clothless table, round which the family
is sitting.

by the great rivers Parana and Para
quay or their tributaries, which fur
nish transportation to many interior
parts of the country and provide
abundant irrigation and adequate
drainage. The soil is typically fer
tile, consisting for the most part OF
red clay mixed with sufficient sand
to make it porous, and covered with
rich alluvial deposits. The area OF
the country is estimated at about no.
600 square miles, and it is divided
into two parts by the Paraguay river.
The southeastern part, which Is In.
closed by the rivers Paraguay, Parana,
and Apa, contains most of the white
population. The northwestern part,
known as the Gran Chaco, Is inhabited
mostly by nomadic tribes Of Indians,
and contains vast expanses OF grazing
land and immense forests awaiting ex-
ploitation. The resources of the
southeastern section alone, however,
are sufficient to engage the attention
Of the inhabitants for many years to
come. It is estimated that the coun-
try has about 100000 inhabitants,
and the government has been encour-
aging immigration as much as posi-
BILE. Immigrants who have settled in
the country have done well, especially
those from Europe.
The climate Is happy medium be-
tween temperate and tropical, the av-
erage temperature being 79 degrees
Fahrenheit. Summer begins in Octo-
Der and lasts until March; winter
starts in April and lasts until nearly
the end of September, with an average
temperature of Ga degrees. Rarely
have there been frosts and on few
occasions has the thermometer regis
tered as low as "a degrees.
Asunclon a Busy City.
Asuncion, with about $4,000 inhabi-
tants, is the capital and principal busi-
ness city Of the Republic. 1t is about
$50 miles north of Buenos Aires, and
is located upon bay-shaped enlarge
ment Of the Paraguay river, about two
and a half miles long and one mile
wide, which affords ample shelter and
accommodation for many vessels. Be-

was his wont. AS he passed the room
of the "star boarder" on the second
floor, he paused. 1t stood open, and
lively breeze, pouring in at the win
dow, had blown loose letters and pa
pers from writing desk across the
floor and out into the hall.
The star boarder was not favor
ite with Pearce, nor with many others
in the house, unless it were the land
lady, who valued him because of his
liberal tips to the servants and the
extras" he allowed her to put on his
bill. He was man of about forty,
a bachelor, seemed to have plenty of
money and dressed flashily.
He had met Annette several times
and made no efforts to conceal the
fact that she attracted him. AS to
Annette, she had conceived violent
dislike for him from the first. Pearce
barely tolerated him. The star boarder
seemed to think, however, that his
wealth might finally make some i'm
preston upon the young lady upon
whom his heart was set.
Pearce gathered up the scattered
papers and placed them on the desk
Then he closed the window so that no
further damage might be done. AS he
came out of the room two servants
met him. He did not, however, deem
it necessary to explain his intrusion,
regarding 1t as an ordinary act of
obliging consideration He went to
his Office and forgot the incident, but
it was revived in a marked way be-
fore that same evening was over.
Bolger, that was the name of the
star boarder, had been robbed. He
had left his room that morning for a
bare five minutes. The window of his
room fronted on the street. An organ
grinder had come along with a whang-
ing disturbing instrument Bolger
was aroused from a late morning nap.
He hurried on his dressing gown and
went down the rear stairs to the
kitchen, bribing the cook to run out
and drive the pest away. When he
returned to his room, he found his
diamond pin and two rings missing

RN order to study the trade situation
In Paraguay, M. Drew Carrel. com
mercial representative of the
III Buenos Aires branch OF a New
York bank, recently made a triI
through that country, and In The
Americas he writes entertainingly OF
what he saw there. His article is thus
summarized In the bulletin of the Pan
American Union:
The only practical routes of access
to the country. the heart of one of the
richest agricultural regions of South
America, are the river and the rail
way running from Buenos Aires, a
thousand miles away, IL Asuncion, the
capital and chief city of the republic
be taken as the travellers destination
There is direct connection between
Buenos Aires, via the Argentine Cen
tral, Entre-Rios, and Paraguayan Cen.
trail railways, and Asuncion. Through
trains leave once week each way,
OF from Buenos Aires betimes, the
train arrives at Zarate early in the eve
ming, some sixty miles up country
where the expanse of the River Plate
has narrowed into the Parana. Here
all except the engine Is run on to a
huge iron ferryboat for a four-hour
voyage up and across the river to
Ibicuy on the eastern shore. Nearly
all day Saturday is spent journeying
through the fiat country Of Entre-Rios.
The orange groves increase, with here
and there tobacco fields, giving way
as the tropics are neared to numerous
royal palm trees.
Posadas, the last station in Argen-
tina, is reached and the train is again
run upon a large ferryboat and car
ried across the upper part ofthe Parana
river to Encarnacion in the Republic
of Paraguay. The level of the deck of
the ferry is some fifteen feet below the
level of the roadbed, on both sides of
the river, and it is necessary to lower
and raise the trains down and up an
incline by means of cables and steam
winches to the proper level. After
running over a switch-back on the
Paraguay side, Encarnacion is reached,
some $50 feet above the level OF the
river.
Room for Many Immigrants.
