vaudeville novelty, and they gather q
lot of glory to themselves.
Fun In a Sanitarium," that fun
niest of all farces, brought the laughs
again with it's rollicking nonsense.
There are six in the company and

men strive-in shop, office, factory

and mothers who bear the burden Of
domestic work I have found that
healthy life and the Joy Of living go
hand in hand with the strengthening

cause. There are many people in this
section who through sickness, disease
and trouble have given up all hope
Iof ever being cured. It is just these
classes Of people L wish to convey the
Thought that no man or woman is

disease may seem to you, no matter
how many things you have tried, no

in the elimination Of the many dis

Issued formal statement, and re-

Since his arrival here Mr.. jackson's
time has been filled in holding public
receptions at which time he has al

his suggestions on the treatment and
relief Of the many ills and malignant
diseases, common to the average busi-
ness and working man and woman.
When seen at Hindle's Main and
State street store yesterday he said:
1T is probable that nine-tenths Of
all diseases could be prevented if
proper care we're taken Of the stom-
ach. Aches and pains such as illus
trated above are often mistaken for
kidney trouble when they might be
caused by faulty digestion, hardening
of the arteries, auto intodcation, cirr-
hosts Of the liver or general run
down condition. Most people guess at
their trouble and form opinions re-
garding their condition that are al
most always wrong.
Poor digestion and defective as
similation is probably the primary
cause for most kidney, liver, bladder,
bowel and blood troubles here. 1t has
also been proven that MOST every dis
ease can be effectively relieved by re-
moving the cause OF the trouble in
stead of just merely treating the synp-
toms. My greatest success in the
sallieviation Of human ailments have
been directly due to my work along

The Camp Fire Girls and
Boy Scouts returned Saturday
from their annual camping out
trip. This year the week was
spent at Painted Woods lake
where boating and swimming
could be enjoyed.
Several Of the campers kept
a diary Of the outing and notes
from one follows:
"We left Washburn the norm
ing Of July 10 at 10 O'Clock
marching in twos. Our first
stop was made. shortly after the
noon hour after we had walked
6 miles. For Lunch we had sand
wiches and some Of the best
lemonade ever served to a. thirs-
ty, hungry, warm group Of girls
and boys. After a short rest,
during which time Denny was
kept frcm having chills by Wig.

coats, etc., over him, we march
ed on and reached our camping
place about 2:30 with burnt nos
es, blistered arms and tired
feet but very much interested
in pitching camp.

"M was a very interesting
sight to watch the Scouts (some.
at least) hurrying about getting:
the camp I'M order and the girls
doing their share. By 10 o'clock
taps which ment all must be
quiet Then began the biggest
battle ever fought by Camp Fire
Girls or Boy Scouts (at least in
point of feeling) viz, the bat
tie against the, mosquito. 1t was
pleasing to note with what sweet
ness and jovial spirits and with
what little. complaint this was
borne, showing all were true
Scouts and Camp Fire lassies.
"Two watches we're kept each
night. The first night Roy Wahl
and Donald kept watch first and
later Erastus and Jimmie.
Everyone was up early Tues
day morning. After the camp
was in order swimming was en-
joyed, many learning the: art
for the first time. This was a
favorite pastime' each day as
was boating and water polo.
"The boys and girls camp
were separate, each doing their
cooking and housekeeping.

shortly after supper. They wer

the big roast came off, the
Camp Fire Girls serving and the

The Horse a. a Wonder.

Horses are so familiar to US that
it is hard to believe that there are
people who have never seen one and
have not the slightest idea what
they look like.
When horses were first introduce
ed into Alaska the Indians were in
tensely astonished. They were par
ticularly amused by seeing horses
eating grass and sat round holding
their sides with laughter.
The natives of some of the south
sea islands were greatly excited
when horses were first introduced
among them. Never having seen
any animal larger than pig, they
regarded the horse as an unusually
large member of the pig tribe and
called it the ftman carrying" pig.
Eskimos rarely see horses.
