Fish Live When Frozen.

The feat of freezing live fish and
reviving them several weeks on
months later has been achieved by
the Swiss scientist, NJ. Pictet. The
scientist put 2S live fish in box that
contained water rich i'm oxygen, i'm
which several pieces of ice foated.
the temperature of the water was
then reduced slowly until It froze.
Al the end of about two months the
cake was gradually thawed, and the
hsh' 1t is said, were found alive. In
such an experiment. the scientist re
ports IT is essential that the water
De gradually frozen and that IL
shall have contained pieces of ice for
from D TO IS hours before the whd&a
mass is frozen. The process of
thawing must also be slow. Through
this process II is believed that ST.
berian sturgeon and Alaskan salmon
can be exported alive TO distant mar
kets.

THE COST OF LIVING.

1.-The high cost of living is a ser
ious problem in every American
home. The Republican party in its
platform attempted to escape from
responsibility for present conditions
by denying that they are due to
protective tariff We take issue
with them on this subject and charge
shat excessive prices result in large
measure from the high tariff laws en-
acted by the Republican party. =
Democratic National platform, 1912.
And right now, in this year 1916,
the cost of living under q Democrat
ic Congress is higher than ever
known. and the Government report
shows it to be still increasing. \
loaf OF bread at the time the above
platform was adopted was more than
enough for an ordinary family. Now
the same priced loaf resembles a
boarding. house biscuit.
And where is this extra money 60
ing. To the farmer? No. The
prices are not increased until the
farmer has sold out. lie may posi-
bly, get a small per cent more for his
wheat but pays over hundred per
cent more for his -four. The coun-
try still has trusts and they are just
as active under a Democratic admin
istration as they ever were under a
Republican.
The cost of living plank is just an
other one of those that were smashed
in the wreck.

THE ECHO OF ANTIQUITY.

THE Hartford Republican is re-
minded of a fact which tts Young
editor will possibly get onto if he
ever ventures far out into the polit-
ical zone. and that is, il every can
didate for Office were to undertake
to run down and throttle all the
false reports circulated against him,
he wouldn't have time to sleep or
eat his meals. No candidate can
possibly escape being accused of
some wrongdoing in his life. In the
meantime we would also remind our
young friend that in agitating at
tacks of Democrats against Demo
Gratis. he is exposing the vulnerable
ity of glass houses situated i'm his
own bailiwick. "-Hartford Herald.

The local club met for the second
time last night with a largely in

Much enthusiasm has been mani

Recently NlSlttu u ntItdNtu Holht.
The husband and father had been
suddenly stricken and died in a few
minutes, leaving a bereaved widow,
after 81 years of happy married life.
One unmarried daughter remained
as the only consolation of the moth
er. past 20 years of age. The mother
is an invalid, being afflicted with
conditions incident to old age.
Rheumatic pains and general in
firmities of old age tend to depress
the spirits and vitality, and grief
over the loss of a loved companion
is apt to be acute under such circum-
stances. In this case there was add
ed a predisposition to look on the
grief over the lost companion. Under
such conditions, thoughtful neigh
bors call to express their sympathies
and to cheer up the afflicted as best
they can. And such kindly visits
may be beneficial or it reverse, de-
pending upon the judgment and good
sense OF the visitor.
On a Sunday afternoon three la
dies visited the afflicted" no
doubt, with the most kindly motives.
But their judgment was badly out Of
line. |. with difficulty. restrained
myself from suggesting that the wish;
be cut short When they finally de-
parted the widow was greatly de-
pressed and on the verge of an
emotional collapse. AS each of the
three callers arrived in rapid sue
oession, their inquiries after the
health of the invalid, led to a repe-
tition of the "aches and pains, and
tore open afresh the wounds of be-
reavement. Each i'm turn 'bemoan-
ed the loss of its husband, and with
the three taking turns of recounting
all the recent deaths i'm the com
munity, and all those expected
shortly to die, as well as those who
ought to die. the picture OF gloom
that they depicted well nigh put the

Grating table while the doctors were

ether and were two hours doing the
operation. And when Mrs. A. was
operated on they used only three
drops of ether and she got well. II
they had not operated on Mrs b. she
might have lived several years And
just think of il, they have put her
into a casket and don't let any call
ers look at the corpse. Only at
eleven O'Clock they open the casket
for an hour for the people TO view the
remains. And what DO you think of
IL? They are going to have a funer-
al service az the home and then take
the body TO the cemetery and bury II

A RMY football league will be
formed tonight at a meeting in
the Paso Del Norte. There are so
many college gridiron stars here
with the national guards that the
local fans should have some real
treats this winter. The first game
will be played at Rio Grande Park
on Sunday afternoon, with military
bands TO furnish the music, and the
announced lineups make II evident
that there will be some real football
TWO football games are on the
card for the High school stadium
on Saturday. The Tiger seconds
play the Fourth Pennsylvania IN
the first game while the Tiger Iegu-
lars meet the Kentucky Signal corps
in the first contest.
CHAPLAIN CH0UINARD, Of the
25rd infantry, has been the re-
cipient Of much congratulatiOn since
his election night card for the Camp
Cotton arena was announced. The
card is a dandy and the bouts are so
conducted that all foul blows are
under the ban, only clean break box
ing is permitted and the dirty kidney
punch cannot be used. The so-caIled
straight rules" are nothing more or
less than a permit for prizefighting.
They are not permitted at the army
camp.
MANY hoTsemen have already put
" in their appearance at the
Juarez track and workouts are be
ing held daily Just how success
full the winter meeting will be, even
with pari mutuels, cannot be fore
casted until It is seen whether the
fans want to take a chance on going
across the river. There are many
who still have their doubts but
these may be removed by Thanks
giving.
BASKETBALL fans are showing d
lot of interest in the organiza-
ton of the City league, but they
should not overlook the fact that
the Church league is now playing
and the Saturday night games are
well worth while.
