Weed. the police courts have been
busy with the trial OF men charged
with n multitude OF crimes and misde-

Gailipolis is not greatly larger than
Canon City, but It's nearness to West
Virginia. which is strongly anti.
prohibition commonwealth, and the
differing character of its population
makes fixed policy on the saloon
question harder to pursue there than

belief of Mr.. Singer and those who
are associated with him in the club
that every owner and driver OF mo-

rounding territory should become
member of the organization with as
little delay as possible and help along

Serum to Save Drowning Persons.

Experiments are being made with
n serum which is said to have been
used with success in restoring cases
of asphyxiation and drowning in ami
mails several hours after life has been
to all appearances extinct. There APP
pears to be one drawback in the re-
suit thus far, however. in that in many
instances there have been serious
after effects such as high blood press
ure or hardening Of the arteries. If
the serum is to be perfected, as ap-
pears to be likely, the physicians are
of the opinion that it can be injected
several hours after the accident and
restore life. In one case the serum
was used on an animal that had been
apparently dead from drowning for Il
period of four hours. The animal was
brought back TO life, though it died
later from blood pressure.

The North American child Is too
often merely the by-product of mar

pride which the parents cannot always
reasonably take in themselves. 1t is
petted, cajoled, pampered. overdressed
and underdisciplined, till there is

Harper's Magazine for August. The
world is its football 1t is smart be-

forced garden Of its life no sheltered
bed where may bloom the flowers of
graciousness or peace. OF such will
be the new aristocracy, and its tradi-
lions will be of grandfathers who, by
virtue OF that fine native American
longheadedness, delivered the goods
Of their period and were promptly and
suitably rewarded. But there will be
few traditions of cOurtliness, scant
reminders that nobleSSe Oblige. and

Possibility Of comaustion.

The danger, of fire from oil-soaked
rags such rs many houSekccpcrs keep
on hand for wiping up vanished
floors was demonstrated at fire-rlsk
exhibit given in a New York window
recently. a quantity of oil soaked rags
were placed in the window with pa-
card stating that they were liable to
take fire ut any time from instantane-
Gus combustion due TO the action of
the atmosphere upon the rags. A num-
Der of small bazcs were started by
rags in this window. In one instance
combustion took place within seven
hours after the rags were placed in
position.
