TREATMENT FOR THE INSANE

How greatly the world has ad-

now with those of century ago.
The present institutional treatment

Ing the distress of unfortunates in

science was as unthinkable then as
the necessity for clean prisons to
guard the criminals and remedial
treatment to cure them OF their vi
ciousness. The murderer in the place
of penitence, or penitentiary, was
given a foretaste of that hell which
his guardians felt sure was certain
to be his lot; the possessed" were
regarded as afflicted In persons

PLANT BURIES ITS OFFSPRING
Peanut Has a Most Effective Method
Of Protecting Them From
Their Enemies.

Here's plant mother that buries
her children to protect them. While
the children Of other plants are being
kidnapped by animals and birds, these
youngsters, are carefully hidden away
beneath the ground so they can grow
In safety. But man won't permit the
mother to keep her children long. He
digs them up-and eats them The
plant is the peanut.
It's leaves look like a four-leaved
clover. It's blossoms are a dainty yell
low, shaped like those OF the sweet
pea. When they wither and fall off
the mother plant begins to worry
about her seed children, for IL the
birds and animals kidnap them before
they ripen they won't have a chance
to grow and produce more plants next
year
So she bends her stalks downward
and each head where the flowers havo
fallen of she pokes into the ground.
There the little seeds develop inside
OF wrinkly. paper,ike pods. Sometimes
the little tunneling moles find them
and eat them, or maybe hogs will come
and root them out. Usually, however,
they're safe from all marauders.
America gave the world the peanut.
1t was found first in Brazil. Since it's
commercial value was discovered it
has been planted all over the world.
Since 1865 It has been n staple prod.

Mr.. Gladstone and mortaaaes.

The late Lieutenant Gladstone ex-
pressed in his will the solemn hope
and expectation" that his uncle will,
from time TO time, reduce any mort
gage on the Hawarden estates. In so
doing Lieutenant Gladstone was loyal
to the Gladstone tradition. The great
statesman had horror of mortgages,
the "mischievous consequences" OF
which had. as ne said, been terribly
felt (the word is strong, but hardly too
strong in the case of Hawarden." "
Writing TO Lieutenant Gladstones fa-
ther, the late Mr.. w. III. Gladstone, in
1885, Mr.. Gladstone said: ITO mort
cages am greatly opposed. Whether
they ought or ought not to be re-
strained by law, do not now inquire.
But / am confident that few rare
causes only will warrant them, and
that as a general rule they are mis-
chievous, and in many cases. as to
their consequences, antisocial and inn
moral. Wherever they exist, they ought
to be looked upon as evils, which are
to be warred upon and got rid off,

from readers of the Pathfinder ask

Canada and Minnesota extends

parallel in one particular place which
can only he reached by either
traversing Canadian territory or
crossing the Lake OF the Woods In
reply he quote from article II of the
treaty of 1919 with Great Britain:
"It is agreed that the line drawn
from the most northwestern point on
the Lake Of the Woods, along the
the forty-ninth parallel or north lau-
tude. or, If the said point shall not
be I'm the forty-ninth parallel Of the
north latitude, then that n line be
drawn from said point north or south,
as the case may ne, until the said line
may intersect the said parallel, shall
be the line Of dcmarkation between
the territories of the United states
and those OF his British majesty"
The national bounadry follows the
Rainy Lake river from Lake Su-
perior to the Lake of the Woods. II
has been decided that from that
point west to the Rocky mountains

| boundary. But at that time no accu-
rate survey had been made, and It
was not precisely known where the

had to be settled on, and in the ah-
sence of direct information "the most

surveys showed. about 2S miles north
