Beebe, the elocutionist of Edmore
gave some readings in very pleasing
manner and was we'll received. Much
enthusiasm was shown throughout the
meeting and a number were present
from Ferris and Riverdale. The band
played some fine selections and was
highly praised by the visitors who
thought the Vestaburg citizens had "a
right to feel proud of such band.

Biunders by NoveIists.

Novelists, even Of eminence, are
prone to make blunders. Sir Walter
Besant in "For Faith and Freedom"
wrote after the Eykins had settled in
Providence, "Barnaby soon grew tired
Of this quiet life and went On board
steamer bound for England, promising
that we should hear from him." This
was in 1856 or 1857, and the first
steamer from America to England
did not reach Liverpool till July, 1919.
Wilkie Collins also made numerous
amazing blunders.. In "The Duel In
Herne Wood" he makes the story open
with the receipt of a telegram, and the
period Is 1917, when twenty years had
to elapse before the first telegraphic
wire was laid. Three of the characters
also talk of taking the express train
to London" in defiance of the fact that
the first railway to London was not
opened till 1888.

Winter and Summer Sun.

The sun is nearer to the earth in
winter than it is in summer. 1t is not
distance that determines the amount Of
heat that we get from the sun, but the
length of time the sun is above the
horizon and the direction in which his
rays strike us. In summer, although
much farther from us, the sun is daily
above the horizon much longer than
when he is nearest, at the winter SOL
stice, and this continued action pro-
duces the summer heat. In addition to
this is to be reckoned the fact that
in summer the force of the SUMS rays
is more perpendicular to the earth's
surface, while in the winter they are
oblique In the case of the perpendicu-
lar ray the heat stays, while in that OF
the oblique ray it "glances off, so to
speak.

The First Fiy Fishers,

Doubtless the reason why artificial
flies were originally invented was be-
cause it was impossible to use the
smaller and more delicate natural flies
as bats on the hook. The first fly fish
er cas- his eyes about him in search Of
something that would answer as imi-
tating the flies upon which the trout
were feeding. Feathers were naturally
the first materials thought of, and the
old red cocks hackle was the first of
all the artificial insects, the old, old
Adam Of them all. The breed has been
increasing several hundred years and
numbers 1900 or more at the present
day. Of salmon flies alone there are
several hundred patterns. These be-
long to the lure order mostly, as do
many Of the large flies used for bass
and trout. The little old red hackle
remains good fly to this day and is
put upon bodies Of many colors, pea
cock harl being perhaps as well liked
as anything. Red wool is favored by
many.-Forest and Stream.

Hooks Without Holes.

Persons living in apartments or fur
nished rooms will find this useful de-
vice for increasing closet capacity:
Fasten one end of a heavy wire-pic-
ture wire works well-to hook in the
closet, thread the other end through
the spring of a patent clothespin, wind
the wire about the second hook and so
on around the closet until there is a
clothespin between each pair of hooks.
This is an excellent way Of holding
skirts or waists and can be removed
easily.

Work and Play.

It has been said that we never really
know persons, even although we work
with them, until we have played with
them. This is true, because work may
be performed according to somebody
else's ideas, but our play life expresses
our own ideals in regard to amuse-
ment and enjoyment.

No Action In Meat Prices.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The food adj

force down the price of meat. This
statement denies the story sent from

would deliver an ultimatum to the
hackers this week. If a reduction is
made it will be done voluntarily, but
probably will not come for some time.

why Worry About Your Arteriesl


It is contrary to our hygienic prin-
cIples to make folks worry. Worry is
diluted fear, and fear overworks the
adrenal gland, and when the adrenal
gland secrets too much adrenin, that
contracts the arteries and tends To
wear them out. There is some other
word for it, but Old Dr. Roget fails
us for once and wecan't find the word,
but it means something little less
than worry and a little more than ig-
more That is what We want folks TO
do about their arteries and their
blood pressure.
Every man or woman who owns a
set of arteries should have them in
spected and tested once a year by a
doctor. Arterial hardening is accom-
panied generally, by gradual rise in
blood pressure above the normal limit
for the patients age. But the blood
pressure may be too high from causes
which do not for the time being, pro-
duce hardening or degeneration of the
artery walls We cannot conceive
arteriosclerosis as separate condi-
tion developing independent of degen-
Grafton Of other organs. We must
think of the process as d premature
degeneration or wearing out of the
whole body, every fibre and cell of Il.
! though particularly the arteries, heart,
! kidneys and brain When the gradual
hardening Of thearteries begins it nee
essarily involves such organs as are
most richly supplied with small term

CT the patient the doctor investigates as
carefully as possible the state of the
/ heart, the kidneys and the brain, for it
| is in these organs that terminal ar
feries are most numerous and inn

! Increased resistance To the cireu-
lation, offered by the more rigid, less
elastic arterial walls, throws addition
