Following prayer, contributed by HON.
er Mckee. Anyone who can utter this
prayer in sincerity and truth must be
an upright man, observes an exchange,
Here is the prayer:
Teach me that 60 minutes make an

cents one dollar. 5H
Help me to live so that I can lie
down at night with a clear conscience.
without gun under my pillow and
unhaunted by the faces of those to
whom have brought pain.
Grant, I beseech Thee, that may
earn my meal ticket on the square, and
in doing thereof that I may not stick
the gaff where 1t does anot belong.
Deafen me to the Jingle of tainted
money and the rustic Of unholy skirts.
Blind me to the faults of the other
fellow, but reveal to me my own.
Guide me that each might when
look across the dinner table at my
wife, who has been a blessing to me,
that ] have nothing to coneeal.
Keep me young enough to laugh with
my children and to lose myself in
their play.
And then when comes the smell of
flowers and the tread Of soft steps,
and the crunching Of the hearse's
wheels in the gravel, out in front of
my place, make the cefemony short
and the epltaph slmplest; "Here Lies

Growth Of Filtration System.

It Is an interesting fact that very
large number Of cities which formerly
used water without publication now
have waterworks filtration plants. In
1900, less than 100000 people were
using filtered water; In 1910, approx
mately 100000 were using II, while
at the present date about 20000,000 are
served by filtration plants. In 1900 90
cities were using filtered water, and In
.1el7 there were 7S1 cities that sup
piled 1t, truly remarkable increase.
Reliable data pertaining to typhoid fe-
yer show that the death rate has de
creased ut about the same proportion
as filtered water has increased. This
alone is sufficient reason for the rapid
adoption Of filtration plants by munic-
ipalities.-From The American City,
July, 1917.

Oklahoma, on the Jim Little

soutk Of West Liberty, brought
in what is perhaps the best pro-
.ducing gas well in the State Wed

was found at the top-of the sand
and drilling had to be discontin.
faed. DR.. s.. r. Collier gauged
the well to 100000 cubic feet
per "a hours but was unable tc
ascertain its full capacity. Mr..
Foreman says that tie we'll will
easily produce one and a quarter
million feet, while Mr.. Frank
Craig, who represents Mullins &
Mullins, claims that the capacity
of the well will be even greater.
The well is located about 21a
miles northwest of the Lee Cas-
key well which has been pro-
ducing gas steadily for nearly 20
years.

cH0REA is NERVE DISEASE
Known Generally as St. vitus' Dance,
1t Is Characterized by Involuntary
Muscular Contractions.

Chorea, or st. Vitus dance, is nerv-
GUS disease characterized by irregular
and perfectly involuntary muscular
contractiOns. The disease occurs most
commonly In childhood and is prob
ably caused in most cases by the action
OF some bacterial poison on the nerv-
GUS system; 1t often follows one of the
infectious diseases Of childhood and Is
especially frequent after attacks of
acute rheumatism. 1t occurs sometimes
without any apparent cause In chill
dren who are run down or anemic |;
and sometimes the physician can find
no other cause than a nervous shock,
such, for example, as severe fright. 4
In some cases the disease begins sud-
denly, but more often the onset is
gradual. A child becomes ill-tempered
and peevish, complains of headache
perhaps, sleeps poorly and Is restless
and fidgety. Very often he drops things
or fumbles awkwardly when he han
dies an object. ~
Then the characteristic movements
of chorea begin; the child shrugs his
shoulders, twists his head, bends and
straightens his arms, moves his fingers,
grimaces, twists his body-ln fact,
makes all kinds Of nervous and mean
ingless movements. Sometimes the DIS
ease affects the speech muscles and
causes the patient to talk in an ,explo-.
sive way, or to make queer sucking
sounds. q
The treatment Of chorea calls for as
much quiet and seclusion as possible,
for an ample diet with plenty of fat,
and for tonlcs. The patient must
avoid muscular exercise and nervous
excitement. He will get much benefit
from rest In bed for several hours each
day, during which some one reads
aloud to him.
In very severe cases death may oc-
cur from exhaustion, but as q rule re-
covery takes place In from six weeks
to six months. Since the movements
cannot be controlled by the will, admo-
nitions to stop them are cruel, and
tend only to increase the trouble. The
medical treatment must, Of course, be
prescribed BY the physician. Youths

BILLS NOT GERM CARRIERS
investigation Dlspels Popular Idea Re-
aarding the Danger Of Handling
Soiled Paper Money.

A contributor to the Journal of the
American Medical association citing
the popular opinion of few years ago
In respect to soiled paper money, says
1t is today regarded by many as ex-
tremely dangerous to handle, and
many people still insist on clean bills
when>they are getting change. Bank
tellers rarely exhibit such aversion,
nor do they give a history of excep-
tional incidence Of infectious disease.
Currency has been blamed for the
spread Of disease and death, especial
~ when 1t has been difficult to find the
true etiolnele sgeaeg I. Is reeallsa
that not long ago d case Of myxedema
was regarded as the outcome of count
Ing money.
Because Of such apparently exag-
gerated contentious, an actual investi-
CATION OF the bacteria present on
soiled money was made by Professor
Hllditch, who arrived at the conclu-
sion that money constitutes an un-
important factor In the transmission
Of disease. 1t is pointed out that a
more frequent redemption Of solled
and worn bills is necessary, yet the
facts and evidences at hand do not
justify the needless alarming Of the
public by rash statements concerning
currency.

Find Charcoal outIasts Iron.

Charcoal crumbling and breaking be-
tween the fingers does not appear to be
the most durable and lndestructible
thing In creation, yet next to the dia-
mond 1t is. The precious stone, as is
well known, depreclates in size so
slowly that hundreds of years produce
no noticeable change In 1t. Charcoal
never decays; 1t can sleep in the
ground or In the air and be as large
ut the end of century as before. 1t
can lie in the bed of u stream and per.
nit the water to flow over 1t every day,
every hour, every minute for years and
years and be the same. And outside
of the diamond II is the only substance
that will do so.

SALT MADE HERE LONG AGO
First Works Were In Operation In Vlr.
slnia Before 1920 and In New
England Few Years Eater.

The United States has many sources
of salt and does NOT need to LOOK
abroad for Its supply, The indus =
had It's beginning very soon after the
early settlement of the country. In
Virginia there were crude salt works
in operation before 1920, and four
years later the first attempt to manu-
facture salt in New England was made
at Cape Ann.
Much salt was made from boiling
sea water during the Revolutionary
war period, and afterward an extensive
system of solar evaporation sprang up
around Cape Cod. The sea water was
pumped by windmills into long lines
of watts which were providedtwith mov-
able roofs and uncovered In dry
weather. In 1880 the production by
this method was 100000 bushels of
salt, about half of which was made In
Barnstable county, Massachusetts.
BY 1884 reduction In the tariff and
the cheap supplies of foreign salt, in
cluding that from the rich brines of
Onondaga county, New York, rendered
manufacture in Massachusetts unprof-
liable. In Cape May county, New Jer-
sey, brine was formed by allowing the
sea water to flow into large holes In
the sand of flats; when 1t had become
concentrated by natural evaporation a
barrel Of 1t boiled in kettles yielded
bushel of salt. The salt industry
proper was started in Florida in 1910,
and In California, along San Francisco
bay, about 1843.

Hlck, when he concluded to call
on an old friend of his, "Old Un-
Gle Johnny" Cantrell, who is
now in his 95th year. John Jr..
found John, Sr., cutting stove
wood. He rode up to the fence
and called to uncle Johnny; tell
ing him that he must put down
the axe, that he was too old to
be chopping wood, whereupon
the old gentleman did drop his
axe and make for John, Jr., say
ing: Get off, that mule, l can
put your back on the ground as
easily as if / were only 80 years
oldi John S. had to take wa.
ter, which he did gracefully.
Mr.. cantrell is q remarkable
man for his age, and, moreover.
ne has been voting the Demo-
cratic ticket for about rs years.
