Cactus as a Heart Stimulant.

The occasional discovery of some
useful piece of knowledge that has
been thrusting itself under our very
noses for ages and yet has escaped de-
lection, serves to emphasize the limi-
tations of the sum total of human
knowledge as compared to the still I'M
solved mysteries of the universe, re
marks the Los Angeles Times.
1t is a recent discovery, for example,
that the cactus plant contains an al
most invaluable heart stimulant. For
merly the entire cactus family was re-
garded as practically useless for man
or beast so far as could be determined.
Then it was discovered that this plant
made excellent fodder for domestic
animals when shorn of it's spineS; ana
chemists found in the leaves SUD-
stance which appeared to be a power
full heart stimulant for human beings.
CuriOusIy enough, this substance does
not affect the lower animals as it does
human beings, and this fact led many
investigators to question it's potency.
Most medical substances affect the
lower animals, or, at least, some or
them, in much the same manner as
they affect human beings. Cactus is an
exception, however, and, although it
contains a heart stimulant of such
powerful action that it must be adj
ministered with caution, it produces
no perceptible effects on the animals
that are commonly used for the test
ing experiments.

Oriqin of Superstitions.

Mans curiosity is in excess of his
power to interpret and understand.
Consequently, he guesses, and when he
guesses wildly and-as it seems to 9TH
ers, probably of later date-inaccu-
rately, his guess is called supersti-
ton, writes J. Arthur Hill in Cham
bers Journal.
Owing to the innate conservatism
of human nature, superstition may
linger long after it's origin is COM
pletely forgotten and after people have
clearly seen that there is no rational
evidence for the thing believed. This
applies to customs of all sorts.

WELL CALLED GREATEST GIFT
Hard to Overestmate What the Quail
ity of Imagination Has Done
for the World.

A man may be denied health,
wealth, friends, education many Of the
other good things of life, but there is
one thing which, if he be so happy as
to be endowed herewith, can never
be taken from him no matter what
his condition in life may be-and that
is the quality of imagination. This
quality it is whieh inspires all hope
and furnishes the wings for faith,
which peoples the heavens with an
gels and lights up the very shadow OF
the tomb. Imagination it is that
opens the windows of the soul and
allows man to see back down the
vistas of the past and far along the
lanes of coming time. 1t is magma
ton that brings happiness and con-
tentment into the lives of the sick, the
Impoverished and the oppressed. 1t
makes noble men sing in prison yet
haunts with awful dreams the tyrant
on the throne. Without Imagination
there would be no "Pilgrim's Prog
ress," no paradise Lost" no ''Mid-
summer Nights Dream" nor would
there be ever any invention or archi-
lecture or music that is "the wine of
the SOUL" or sculpture Or painting that
reflect in form and color the ideals
In the minds of men. Blessed be
Imagination, the greatest gift Of SUI
preme wisdom and power to the chill
-dren of earth.-LOs Angeles Times.

Don't Waste Time.

"What are you looking for, so care
fully, John?' Il am trying to find
piece of wood that will exactly fit the
space have to fill in this bit of work.
replies John.
Then Harold says, "Why don't you
make a piece that will just fit? You
Gould white it out, and make it ex-
actly right, in half the time you spend
trying to find something"
True enough. It is SO with some 9TH
er things, and less tangible than bit
of wood. Take opportunities, for ex-
ample. It is often easier 90 make
them than to look around to find them.

Evansville

George Hall Jr. returned this week
with his shows from the fair circuit
and will close that business for the
winter.
While horseback riding Monday morn
ing, Miss Eleanor Porter, young
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Porter,
had the misfortune to have her pony
fall with her by slipping on the wet
pavement, breaking large bone IN the
young Iady's ankle. She will be con-
fined to her home for some time.
Petty thievery seems to be coming in
style again, as last Tuesday night some
sneak thief entered the cellar of the
Rev. Lawrence and was trying to make
a haul when he made a noise that was
heard by Mrs. Lawrence, and as her
whole summers work in the fruit pre-
serving line was in the cellar she at
once got ready to start ejectment pro-
ceedings; but the thief, being warned
by the noise on the floor above, pro-
ceeded to make a getaway, taking
with him only few cans OF fruit.
The old Evansville canning factory
which was purchased last spring by l..
J. Cram, father and brother, after lay
ing idle one year, has this year under
their management developed into an
institution that promises to do much
for the prosperity Of Evansville and
especially for the farmers of the sur
rounding country, for there is nothing
that brings money and prosperity to
farming, community like good canning
factory that is run right and will pay
good prices for the farmers products.
Adds Alberto, former resident of
Evansville, who for the past sixteen
years has been in Russia with large
manufacturing concern making Amerl-
can tools, wrote his sister from Fresno,
CAL, as follows, under date Of Sept.
II: "Will write you to let you know
we are back in America again. We
thought Petrograd and Russia were

the revolution, Russia is no place for
white people. We left Petrograd the
18th of July, came by way of Vladivos-

ivostok to Japan by steamer and from

MUSIC ROLLS QUICKLY MADE
Useful Machine Designed Especially
for the Use of Retail Dealers
Recently Put on the Market.

Designed especially for the use of
retail dealers, a compact machine that
perforates music rollssfor use in play
er pianos is being introduced. The APP
paratus Is described in the Popular
Mechanics Magazine. 1t is capable of
making from one to Is records at a
time from sheet music, and will also
turn out copies of any standard roll.
It's operation is said to be so simple
that satisfactory work can be done by
persons who are not musicians. The
Particular advantage of the machine
seems to be that II enables a small
dealer to fill his customers orders
promptly without having to carry a
large, expensive stock. It also Obvi-
ates the inconvenience that confront
patrons when special orders have to
be mailed to a factory before their
wants can be supplied. Since 16 sheets
can be perforated simultaneously, a
dealer i'm making a roll to order has an
opportunity to add 10 records to HIS
stock with no expense other than the
bare cost of the paper and spOOls.

Flour Shortage Is Near, Big
MiIlerS Declare.
Claim Farmers Hold Grain for
Higher Price.

Chicago, Sept. 13.-The country is
confronted with the most serious flour
shortage in recent years. in the opin-
ion of millers, jobbers and retailers
today.
Retailers have comparatively small
stocks on hand-many are completely
sold QUIT was said, while millers
and wholesale dealers declare they are
unable to deliver flour because of the
shortage in wheat.
Refusal of farmers to sell wheat at
the prices fixed by the government is
generally blamed for the present situa.
ton. They are said to be holding back
in the hope new schedule, more
favorable to them, can be arranged.
Retailers Demands Great.
The Washburn-Crosby company have
declared the shortage is due to sud
den demand by retailers who had al
lowed their stocks to become depleted
during the summer.
Country agents of the food admin
istration are trying to impress on the
farmers that they can gain nothing
by holding their wheat. By so doing.
they will incur storage charges.
Reports of crop damage from the
frosts early this week continue to come

tent of the damage to corn cannot yet
be determined but it was said that in
Wisconsin it would reach 40 to so Der
