the deep. sheltered ford bottoms af

A Christiania correspondent gives
an interesting comparison Of the sal
aries paid to public officials Ia Norway
and the United States, and he holds
that although the salaries paid i'm
America are much larger than those
drawn by Morse officials, the longer
and more certain tenure of Office en-
joyed by the latter renders them more
independent than their American
brothers. The highest civil officer,
the amtnanl." says the correspond
ent, lis paid $4,000 year. Chief jus
tiee OF the supreme court il paid
$500, and the other members OF the
bench $4,000, while the chief clerk re-
ceives 81 600 year. Members of the
superior court are paid $500 The
commander of the army 10 paid 5000.

| cial In the country Ia the bishop OF
the diocese of Akershus. who receives
$500 more than the members of his
matesty's government. Ministers OF
the Gospel, belonging to the state
church. are paid up TO $1,000, while
| civil magistrates in the cities receive
from s7o0 to $1,000. A still more
striking example of the salary condi
tions in Norway In found In the salary
received by the president of the Bank
of Norway. who il paid $4,000, the
same as cabinet minister, and the
first vice president gets $4,000. This
system of salaries. however, is based
upon the presumption that every pub
lie official in the military and civil
classified service shall on retirement
from Office receive pension.

GRIP AND NEURASTHENIA

There is form OF neurasthenia that
follows the grip. Doctors call 1T post
grippar' neurasthenia. One OF the
foremost medical authorities OF New
York city in a lecture in the interna-
tional clinics, said:
Broadly speaking, every victim OF
the grip will suffer from post-grippal
neurasthenia also. Lowering OF ner-
yous tone with increased irritability is
the most striking effect of the disease,
languor of mind and body, disturbed,
fitful sleep and vague pains in the head
and elsewhere. The treatment calls
for rest and tonic.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, non-alco-
holic tonic, are particularly suited for
building up the blood and strengthen
ing the nerves after an attack of the
grip. The rich, red blood expels the
lingering germs from the system and
transforms respondent grip victims in
to cheerful, healthy, happy men and
women.
If you have had the grip get a box
of DIR. Williams Pink Pills now from
the nearest drug store and begin the
treatment at once.
On request we will send you free
pamphlet, Building Up the Blood"
which contains chapter on the grip.

"ALL-TIME-EATS" IS EVIDENCE
OF HOW FORMER LOCAL BOY AS
DOCTOR HELPS INDIAN BABIES

Wlth this important function of every
day life properly regulated and con-
trolied, the majority of infant disor-
ders VIII disappear and the naturally
splendid digestive system assume its
proper place.
For the very young infant the
mothers breast is the best of all foods.
Cows milk is excellent for calves. but
not so good for babies. Condensed
milk is in its proper place when il is
In the can. lndigestible. poorly pre-
pared ana uncooked food from the
table too often form n large portion
or the daily food of the Indian, and
II Is TO correct this method of feeding
that one must devote large portion
OF his time If results long desired are
to be realized.
The eating of candy by children of
tender years is another of the causes
of much infantile digestive disturb
ances, and the sooner this cause of
gastronomical disturbances is pro-
hibited the better nourished and
healthier will the baby be.
Il have found that a diet of pep
tonlzed, milky. predigested food or
barley water will often correct case
OF severe diarrhea that has resisted
medlcal treatment. The diarrhea of
children divides itself into two heads
the simple and the infectious, and the
mortality rate from these conditions is
high.
Rickets is another disease which
one hnds quite common among the
lndlan children, due. probably, to pat
ent baby foods and unhygienic con-
ditlons. Plenty of meat broth and
trult juice, and small amounts of
starchy foods. such as potatoes, will
restore 1t to health
Another universal disease of chill
dren is tuberculosis, and when one
considers that 80 per cent. of all chill
dren OF 10 years OF age in the white
race are said to have tubercular inn
plantation, then We can appreciate its
danger and importance. Tuberculosis
is not inherited. The most frequent
type in children is the glandular form,
ofttimes expressed after the system
has been reduced by an attack of
measles or whooping cough. The path
or entrance is usually through the
respiratory tract, by either the mouth
or the nose, and when we recognize
this path of entrance then we should
appreciate the importance of the toilet
OF the nose and mouth in n growing
child when infected. We must instruct
the mother of the value of preventive
measures. Glandular involvement is
usually the result of and a sequel of a
previous disease. and we should en-
deaVor TO prevent Il break in the mucus
mem brane, or If a break occurs to
keep it in q sterilized and clean con-
dition.
"A child reared in a home contain
ing an acute case of tuberculosis is
continually breathing the infectious at
mosphere. Forced feeding and a daily
bath for these cases will do much 10
overcome an inherited weakened
body"

ment blanks will be published in each
issue of the Telegraph. All contest
ants will place their names on these
and will thus be entitled to partici-
pate in the distribution OF prizes. No
entrance fee will be charged Every
thing will be free and open TO all.
The judging will be done by experts
who will visit the various buildings
entered after the planting-which
should not be done until May 1, at the
earliest-and again in the middle of
the summer. At the close of the
season, just before frost is expected
a third and final inspection will be
made and the prizes will be awarded
first on general appearance and sec
ond on the care manifested on the
planting from the beginning to the
end of the season.
Reduced Prices
The Telegraph is able TO announce a
special reduction in prices on Section
al Window Boxes by the Berryhill
Nursery Company. This company, Of
which .. p. Beckley is the president
has entered heartily into the Tele-
graphs plans for a more beautiful
city and in order to cooperate will
open a store room in Locust street
near the Telegraph office. To all con-
testants and to others who may desire
10 plant boxes this Spring but who do
not want to go to the trouble of hav-
ing boxes made by carpenters or at
planning mills, the Berryhill company
will sell at a reduced rate, providing
the applications are made through the
Telegraph. This does not mean that
the planting must be done by the Ber-
ryhill company. This offer includes
only the boxes and the plants may be
purchased and planted either by the
Berryhill company or by anybody the
purchaser chooses. Coupons emitting
holders TO this discount will appear
daily in the Telegraph, beginning
within the next few days.
The Berryhill company has also Of
fered to advise planters free of charge
as to what kind of plants should be
used when to plant them and how.
Already there have been many in
quiries as to how the window and how
porch box plan is to be carried out
and the outlook is for hundreds of
boxes to be put UP within the next
six weeks. The idea is to have all in
place by Memorial Day. On that date

y new Spring dress of plants and
vines

| Rice polishings are the outer layers
or the rice that give to the grain it's
light creamish brown color. Under
Meath the grain is snow white.
This snow whiteness consists prin-
| cipally of starch; the polishings con-
tain the phosphorus compounds and
other mineral salts. ferments, vita
mines, and nitrogenous products
which are brushed, secured. and pol
lshed away in order to make the
grain pleasing to the delicate eyes of
pale women and children.
| On sixty days diet of the natural
grain, TO which the rice polishings
had to be added, the spread of the
disease was interrupted and complete
cures established. Yet not one of
| the 100000 children under ten years
| OF age who died in the United States
that year could find a pound of that
natural brown rice in all the land
! Still the medical profession needed
more evidence than this to convince
/ it that when man denatures his food
by refining processes he destroys its
ability to confer upon him immunity
to disease.
| So DR.. Fraser of the Straits Settle
ments and DR.. Aaron of the Phiiip-
pine Medical School set about to prove
that when man brushes, scours and
polishes away the phosphorus COM
pounds and other organic minerals
that are present in the pericarp of
natural brown rice he robs the human
family of its requisite supply of these
elements.
After this fact had been demon.
strated to the satisfaction of the ply
sicians in the Far East it was again
eXperimentally confirmed in chickens
and later in human beings.
Finally two groups of railway.
workers in the Straits Settlements
were employed as a poison squad
The group of men that partook of
polished white Siam rice of best quail
ity developed beri-beri within period
OF approximately sixty days, while
the group that partook of the un-
polished rice remained free of the
disease.
Perhaps when you learn what hap
pened during that period of sixty days
YOU will feel disposed TO heed the
character and quality of the food up
on which your children subsist. Per-
haps you will come to the conclusion
that behind the processes of nutri-
tion there is indeed law.
