Sylvester Fischer, the seventeen
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
Fischer of the town of Marathon, met
with an accident Tuesday afternoon
He was Oiling gasoline engine,
when in some manner, perhaps on ac-
count of the wind, his jacket was
caught in a shaft key, and before he
knew what had happened he found
himself whirled around in the air
until practically every stitch of cloth
ing was torn from his body, even his
shoes. His chief injury consists of
cut about four inches long under his
chin, and the loosening of his teeth.
Besides this his body and face were
bruised in several places.

HERE'S NEW VIGOR FOR
OVERWORKED STOMACHS

W. W. Albers, the popular druggist,
has been in the drug business long
enough to have his own opinion of
the best way of selling medicines.
He says the plan adopted by Mona,
the great dyspepsia remedy, is the
fairest that he ever heard of. He
doesn't believe that medicine ought
to be paid for unless it does the user
some good. And Mi-O-na is sold under
positive guarantee to relieve dyspep-
STA or to refund the money. You
simply leave so cents on deposit with
w. w. Albers and if, after you have
used the box Of Mona you decide
that it has done you no good, all you
have to do is to tell him so and he
will return your money.
Hundreds of people have been re-
lieved of stomach agonies by using
this remarkable remedy. 1t is not
simply food digester; it is a medi-
cine that puts all of the digestive
organs into normal condition and
gives ruddy, glowing, vigorous health.
A change for the better will be seen
after the first few doses of Mi-O-na,
and its continued use will soon give
the power to eat anything at any
time and not suffer distress afterward.
Use Mi-o-na and see how much more
| there is in life.

Lord Kitchener, celebrated for his
stern and eXacting manner, met his
match on one occasion and proved the
fine quality of his nature by acknowl-
edging the fact.
1t was in the days when the railway
was being driven across the desert to
Khartum. A young Canadian officer
of engineers was in charge of the
work, which was progressing salts
factorily, when one morning the sirdar
(as Kitchener then was) appeared on
the scene and expressed his disap-
prevail OF certain features of the work
with his usual bluntnesS.
The young officer listened until his
chief had finished and then quietly in
quired:
"Am I bossing this railway, sir, or
are your
Kitchener gave him a quick glance,
recognized him as one of his own sort
nodded approval and went away.

Self Help In Case of Fire.

AS a house is never attacked by fire
at the top and bottom at once, If there
is a safe and ready exit at both top
and bottom very little danger to life is
to be feared. 1t is important that all
exits should be so known as to be east
ly found by day or night by every in
mate of the house. If the clothes you
have on catch fire a blanket, rug or
some such wooden article should be
quickly and tightly wrapped around
you. Air is thus excluded, and the fire
goes out. A small fire in a room can
often be put out In the same way in
preference to pouring water on it. In
case of fire keep all doors shut as far
as possible. If a room is full of smoke
keep low or crawl, because smoke and
hot air both rise.

Painting the Great Structure Is Long
and Costly Job.

Painting the Great Structure Is Long
and Costly Job.
Every three OF four years it becomes
necessary to paint the Brooklyn bridge
in order to prevent the corrOsion and
deterioration of its structural members,
says Popular Mechanics Magazine.
This is a task which requires the serv-
ices of a small army of human spid-
ers." who climb about over the web
of cables and Stringers with almost as
much composure and agility as If they
were insects instead of men.
With buckets and brushes, they cling
in the network, swinging in the wind
as the constant stream of traffic surges
across the East river. Between them
and the river beneath there are more
than 200 feet of space and the cables.
Every exposed strand and spot of the
whole structure must be painted, so
the men scramble over the cables until
they reach the topmoSt point Of the
great towers. which extend 272 feet
above the water, and finally end up on
the scaffolds suspended beneath .the
structure, where the mastheads of pass
ing vessels Scrape under the plankingS,
sometimes missing them by a margin
of only few inches. This work con-
tinues usually for six or eight months
before it is completed aal costs ap-
proximately $4,000 Exciiange.

. onsninn Volcanoes With Canes.

Sailing across the bay of Naples,
past the spot where the notable city
of the present day is situated, our
travellers came to Puteoli, or Pozzuoli,
as it is now called, at present a de-
cadent suburb of Naples.
This miserable and dirty town of
some 5000 inhabitants, as it now is,
is connected by trolley and steam rail
way with Naples and is often visited
by the modern tourist who wishes to
see the remains of the ancient temples
and amphitheater and the mighty
mole, which still tell of the ancient
glories Of Puteoh.
Near by, too, is the volcanic field OF
Solfatara, not a mountain, but fiat
plain, the crater Of low volcano, into
which one can thrust his cane In many
places and find smoke and sulphurous
vaoor issuing from the hole as he with
draws 1t. Probably there are few
more dreary or disreputable places In
Italy than this modern suburb Of Ma
pies. 1t has not the ragged pictur-
esoueness which somewhat redeems
the worst slums of Naples, but Is a
sduaIid, unwholesome town OF the
worst type.-Christian Herald

Build Up From Within.

If a psychologist can contribute any
thing TO the progress of mankind he
must first Of all offer the advice not
to rely on plans by which the atten-
ton is focused on the disasters which
are to be avoided. Education by for
bidding the wrong action instead of
awaking the impulses toward the right
one is as unpromising for peoples as
it is for individuals. We must truly
build up from within.-Hugo Muenster-

REIcHSTAG TO ASSEMBLE
 FOR SIXTH WAR SESSION
For Regulation of Food Supply and
 Conduct of War.

Berlin, Nov 29, via London, Nov. 30, 237 a. m.-The reichstag will assem- ble tomorrow for it's sixth war session "a session which will take place un- der the influence of the two absorb ing topics of the present moment; namely, the regulation of the food supply and the aims and conduct of the war. It will also, it is under stood, be marked by the introduction of a new vote of credit for the war, presumably for the accustomed amount of $2,500, 900, 900, although no definite announcement in this respect has been made.
 The actual items already announced for the working programme of tne session include a bill for the modifi- cation of puriskments for minor of- rences under martial law, discussion #of the governmental report against
 the reduction of the age limit for old age pensions from 70 to 65 years and minor legislative projects that are of no great general importance.
 It is generally anticipated on the other hand, that the members of parli- ament will take this occasion to launch a general criticism of the meas
 ures for the regulation of the food supply, owing tc which the government has promised to submit a memoran- dunn to the reichstag and that certain clements, notably the radical wing ot the socialists, will insist on bringing into the discussion the ultimate aims
 of the war and the terms on which
 Germany would profitably make peace.

 STEAMER IS CAPTURED
By British Transport Maceronia- Passengers Taken to Montevideo.

Buenos Aires, Nov. 29.-The BritisA transport Macedonia, has captured the steamer Presidente Mitre, navigating under the Argentine flag but belonging to the Hamburg South American Steamship Company. The passengers on the Presidente Mitre were taken to Montevideo.
 The PresideEte Mitre was captured on the high seas off Cape San Anto- nio, four miles off the coast and IFS miles from Buenos Aires and lowed to a point ten miles from Montevideo. The crew and eighty passengers were then put aboard the British steamer Oriana.
 The Argentine foreign minister, Jose Luis Marature, conferred with the British minister and the German charde d'affaires respecting the seiz- ure The British minister declared that Great Britain had decided to con- slider everywhere as prizes German owned ships.
 It is said that the Argentine gov ernment will instruct its minister at London to ask for the release of the vessel, in view of the fact that for the last ten years has been plying ex- clusively between Argentine ports. The government it is understood, will fol- low the precedent set by the United States in similar cases.

speeuIators Have Been Holding Whea
CANADIAN CABINET HAS
 FIXED PRICE OF WHEAT. No. Northern, 1o4 3-4; No. 2, 1o3 1-s;
 No. 3, e3 3-4.

Ottawa, Ont, Nov 29.-The sub committee of the Canadian cabinet to- night fixed the prices which are to be paid the dealers whose wheat has been pehemptorily communicated. After prolonged consideration and confer ences with the representatives of the interests affected it was decided that the prices to be applied are those which ruled at the closing of the mar l1ets in Winnipeg on Saturday, name ly $1 04 3-4 per bushel for Number one northern; $1.03 Is for Number two northern and .93 34 for Number 8 northern.
 The claims put forward by dealers today for extra compensation on the ground that they will be unable to execute contracts with millers and others for a supply of wheat are not to be entertained and on payment of the prices indicated the liability of the government is to be discharged.
 Something like twenty million bush els are to be taken over in this consignment and it is stated here by competent officials that it would not be surprising if the bulk of Canada's exportable surplus is acquired in this manner, although the communicating process may not again be invoked.
