Fear of Strike and Paralysis Kept
Down Rockefeller Attendance.

New York, Aug. 1S.-Due to the
possibility of national railway strike
and the infantile paralysis situation
in New York, there were only fifty
o. the ESQ members of the Rockefeller

outing which is being held at the
Brighton hotel. None of the iirrne-
date family of Rockefeller was pres
ent at the union.
At meeting yesterday officers were
elected for the coming year and a pro-
gram was arranged for the week. To-
morrow the Rockefellers will see the

Most healthy people if not actually
beautiful are certainly good to see.
I m sure every girl who hopes to make
the most of her appearance cannot do
better than attain her greatest posi-
bi1ities in the way of robust health.
She can certainly learn to swim and
enjoy it, because everybody can. and
I'm sure it's the most healthful of
enjoyments.
Young girls do not realize we'll
enough the wide channel between the
full bloom of perfect health and mere
ly not being sick. If every girl did all
she might to gain her best strength
and health there would be lots more
pretty girls. Health brings radian ce
and a fine clearness of eye. And
there's nothing SO helpful in this way
as the pure air and sunlight whenever
YOU go for a swim"

MENA sHotLD stIPrLY MARKET

W C. Benson of Big Fork believes if someone in Mena would take the time 10 properly investigate, they couid fnd a way io build up a fine enterprise greatly help the whole community and al the same tiae make d far profit for themselves. He refers to providing a market for manganese ore that. he says. can Dc readily gotten eat and hauled to town by people near Big Fork. him- seli among the rest. He feels that fl something of the kind is not done the business will go in another di- reetion. all to no profit to Mena
 The Star believes the idea is at least worthy of careful considera- ton. If, as is stated. the ore can be had in good quantities, Mena busi- ness men cannot afford to ignore any move that would cause it to be marketed here. In fact, they should see to it that market is provided.

During the rainstorm Monday night lightning struck the Lundy cottage, occupied by Dr. T. N. Fletcher and family on Southerland avenue The fire started by the current was extinguished before any great damage was done. The fire was in the garret of the cottage. the supposition being that the current followed the telephone wires, burn ing of the insulation and thus start ing the ignition. The fire depart ment responded quickly to the alarm, but neighbors who came in at once had the fire in the house out when the boys arrived, although a telephone post was burning brightly which the boys extinguished without connecting up the hose Several telephones were put out of commis- sion in that neighhorhood by the lightning

ATTENTION! SYRUP MAKERS.

Before the gets too far along, want to call at to the fact that Syrup Makers in community who expect have surplus to sell this fall get together on kind of a plan to market their crop
 The principal requirement is quantity of uniform product If all growers of this crop community would get together and uniform be if Seeded Ribbon and then put up uniform product in gallon buckets with nice attractive label and be able to fill second order after the first has out feel hesiancy in saying that it can be sold at profit We tried enough experiments last fall demonstrate what good product put up properly, will do the markets. We also know parties along the line who started this proposition last fall they have been shipping out syrup sorghum Seeded Ribbon Cane all through the winter Some of this product went to Montana Wyoming Indiana Kentucky etc. and 1t brought soc net to the grower
 People living north of the line for growing Ribbon Cane what it is Many Of them have heard of have tasted Ribbon Cane Syrup and still watch the shipments and find carload after carload of Syrups only supplying the northern markets but this northern made syrup supplying the southern markets large extent The south the natural syrup growing territory but at present not supplying One of the best ways to convince them 10 give small samples of the product which you have to sell
 We would be glad to hear from parties interested this proposition had experiences last fall along these lines which might be valuable to prospective shippers Good Stun from the K. c s. Service Bulletin of May 30

TWO HABITS THAT ARE BAD
May at First Appear Insignificant, But Really Are Dangerous to
 the Health.

The practice of licking stamps and gummed envelope flaps, as well as that of sucking the end of the lead pencil, Is very unsanitary indeed. As every one should know, the glue used on stamps and envelope flaps is made of refuse products. consisting of the bones and hools Of animals which may or may not have been diseased. The stamps and envelopes themselves are made of all sorts of rags, which, in the course of their transformation into pa- per, are handled by all sorts and condi- tions of people. We never know whether it is clean or dirty pair of hands that has handled stamp or en. yelope just before we purchase 1t.
 There have even been cases of poi. soning from the stamp-licking practice. Fortunately, they are rare, but 1t suf- fees to say that the ordinary steriliz- ing process in their making does not necessarily kill form Of germs that nre poisonous. The safest plan is to moisten the gummed surfaces on a small wet sponge and take no risks.
 Children should be carefully warned about the indiscriminate sucking and chewing of pencils This seems to be habit of childhood that is hard to overcome The lead in a pencil is poi sonous, and so is the point. and the wood furnishes a convenient lodging place for all sorts of germs.
