ELEPHANTS

The wonderful thing about an ele-
plant is his nose.
He can wave it.. He can wrap it
around his ear. He can chase flies
up and down his back with it. And
if he happens to be travelling in a
stock car he can send it out for air.
Think what a man could do with
a nose like that. When his wife
smened smoke he could sit where he
was and sniff in the other rooms. And
when it came to Dutch lunches he
could hang his nose out Of the win
dow and enjoy his limburger in
peace.
Oh, for a wandering nose!

AMT NATURE WONDERFUL!

The FliVVer
Well, Pete, put down that pickle
sandwich and give a listen. We've
got one Of the greatest industries Of
the age to squaWk about on today's
menu-and that are the flivVer.
1 thought you gave a sermon about
the jumping bean the other day, Ed
gar.
Have a care, Thor, don't knock
Flivvers; its cylinders do enough Of
that stuff. A cat has only nine lives,
but a flivver dies so much Euclid
himself, the Ty Cobb Of arithmetic,
couldn't keep track of it's lives. An
ordinary automobile is only good for
riding around in, but there's no limit
to the things a fliVver can do.
Flivvers make dainty watch
charms. They can be used as alarm
"clOcks or as pacifiers for babies.
Even when a flivver is played out,
if any member of the family live that
long, it can be made into kitchen
utensils to supply seven and half
families. There viii still be enough
left over to make a good vacuum
sweeper.
Some people are such brutes with
their fiivvers they load them down
with all kinds Of brightly polished ac-
cessories trying to make them look
like automobiles. It's a wonder the
humane society doesn't get after
them.

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 vet 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 1t was discovered that this plant
made excellent fodder for domestic
animals when shorn of its spines; ana
chemists found In the leaves a sub
stance which appeared TO be power
full heart stimulant for human beings.
Curiously enough, this substance does
not affect the lower animals as 1t does
human beings. and this fact led many
Investigators to question its potency.
Most medical substances affect the
lower animals. or, at least, some OF
them, in much the same manner as
they affect human beings. Cactus Is an
exception, however. and, although 1t
contains a heart stimulant of such
powerful action that 1t must be adj
ministered with caution. Ii produces
no perceptible effects on the animals
that are commonly used for the test
ing experiments.

THIS PIPE HAS A HISTORY
Was Smoked by Sir Walter Raleigh,
Who First Introduced Use of
Tobacco Into England.

A pipe with a history is in the pos
session of a collector in London which
was once the property of Sir Walter
Raleigh, and is not unlike the letter
'Y" in shape. For centuries it has
been kept in an inlaid box dated AN
no, 1927" 1t is constructed in four
pieces of wood, rudely carved with
dogs heads and with the faces of In
dians. On the bowl there Is cap
about as large as the bowl itself, and
attached TO the stem is a string OF
beads made of the same wood as the
pipe. In this stem n powerful whistle
has been cut, and the suggestion is
made that Sir Walter used it to sum-
mon his servants.
The Archaeological society exhibited
this pipe at Guldhall in the middle OF
the last century, the inscription accom-
panying 1t bearing these words: 1.-The
original pipe of the above celebrated
historian of the world, and who first
introduced tobacco and potatoes into
England" Tradition. corroborated by
a parchment in the possession of the
owner. states that this pipe was
smoked by Sir Walter on the scaffold
lust before his execution and handed
to one of his relatives as a memento
of him.

ENDORSED AT HOME
Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any Emmett Citizen

The public endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced None better, more stronger
can be had. When a man comes for
ward and testifies to his fellow-citi-
zens, addresses his friends and neigh
bors, you may be sure he is thorough
ly convinced or he would not do so.
Telling ones experience when it is for
the public good is an act of kindness
that should be appreciated. The fol-
lowing statement given by resident
of Emmett adds one more to the many
cases of Home Endorsement which
are being published about Doan's Kid
ney Pills. Read it.

WEAKEN STATEMENT OF FACT
Many Persons Seem to Question Their
Own Conclusions by Excessive
Use Of Rising infection.

It is a modern conversational fad to
use the rising and interrogatiye In

question is not intended at all. The
women are more apt 10 use IL than the
men, and Ii started a few years ago,
merely as n pretty trick of talking.
with no harm in IT. mo harm + tn
world" says the Ohio State Journal.
But II has been so very much over
done and is now so general that we
are inclined to wonder If it betokens Il
state of mind, or, on the contrary, if 1t
is likely to have an influence on the
mind For a rising infection implies
questioning or doubt and. when ap-
piled to sentence that is supposed to
be a statement of fact, it necessarily
weakens that statement.
We have heard people who were
this rising infection so repeatedly that
they seemed to question all their own
statements, or to seem to appeal to
their hearers for agreement. And that
doesn't indicate just the right state Of
mind If a person has anything to
say and believes 1t, he should be will
ing to state it quite simply and posi-
lively. A positive statement does not
mean an aggressive one; and per-
son must needs be In a rather pitiful
state of fear of his hearers opinions
If he is afraid to utter an affirmative
sentence.
