Arc You Looking 0IdI

Old age comes quick enough
without inviting it. Some look
old at forty. That is because
they neglect the liver and bowels.
Keep your bowels regular and
your liver healthy and you will
not only feel younger but look
younger. When troubled with
constipation or biliousness take
Chamberlain's Tablets. They
are intended especially for these
ailments and are excellent. Easy
to take and most agreeable In
effect. Obtainable everywhere.

E. M. Micheuer's hardware
store was burglariEed Saturday
night, the second robbery in two
weeks. The thieves entered the

School Notes.
JUNIOR PICNIC

The Juniors of the Baxter high
school had a picnic or a weiner
roast last Thursday night. The
class also invited the other two
classes. Miss Hazel Goodwin,
one of the faculty, chaperoned
the party. There was a good
crowd, the biggest in fact, that
ever attended a high school picnic.
There were not more than five
students out of the entire high
school who did not 60. The
party met at the post Office at
seven o'clock and left a few
minutes after. There was 4
plenty to eat and some left over.
The Juniors did the inviting but
the other classes helped with the
eats. The moon came up soon
after reaching the place, which,
by the way, was the mouth of
the river. During the evening
games were played and weiners
eaten. The picnickers came back
at about 10 o'clock and everyone
had the time of their life.
The Ancient history class of
high school consisting of Juniors
and Freshman visited the Perkins
museum last Friday evening.
The class has been studying the
ancient history of the world
which is centered mostly around
Egypt. The museum contains
many specimens of the pyramids
and obelisks and thru the kind
ness of Mr.. Perkins the class was
permitted to see them. The time
spent in viewing the relics was
we'll spent. The visit was made
thru the arrangements of Mr..
Barrett, teacher of ancient
history.
The piano has been installed
and music books sent for, thru
the efforts of Miss Rowe the
high school hopes to have 4 fine
glee club

At tho Junior picnic the boys
of the high school decided tc

Nov. 7, f74a.-The governor of
Louisiana strongly advised the
French ministry not to carry out it's
plan of placing Illinois under the jul

of food supplies, and that Canada
could not properly protect a post so

FOOD SUBSTITUTES.

OF the making of economical diets
there is no end. The food substitute
crank PUSHES in where angels might
fear to intrude. Rarely indeed has
he anything worth while to offer. For
the most part he hands out sugges-
tons that are holly resented by the
very individuals he thinks he is bene-
fting. The subject of substitute food
ss a dangerous one. An editor who in
al sincerity recommended to Ameri-
an workers the scanty and decidedly
Economical diet of European labor,
brought both to himself and his pa
per sharp fusillade of rtdicule and
criticism Every little while some
new form of food is extolled by these
fussy advisers. A Chicago man
claims to have discovered that the
|muskrat makes a fine substitute for
beef. A writer in a PHILADELPHIA
journal tells what a boon horse meat

these suggestions meet with ridicuIe.
In commenting on the muskrat advice.
Ia writer suggests that the way to coax
IA novice to eat muskrat is to hypno.
tie him into believing it is rabbit.
The Philadelphia advice is met by a
|iacetious correspondent who not only
atirically accepts the substitutes, but
goes ahead and adds to them. He
tells how much nutrition his large
family-limited to $3.50 weekly in
come-can extract from herbs and
hay. He says he has tried sparrows,
but prefers house mice, the latter be-
ing much less gamey and better mus
Gle builders.

Who would have thought of the tin
can as a menace to the public health?
Expert malaria investigations of the
United States health service have
found that discarded tin cans contain
ing rain water are breeding places for
the mosquito, which is the sole agent
in spreading malaria. A bulletin
signed by the health service says: "A
hole in the bottom of the empty can
might have resulted in the saving of
= human life. Certainly it would have
assisted in preventing a debilitating
illness. Empty tin cans have no bust
pess about the premises anyway, but
II we must so decorate our back yards.
