"The Crow Children every day sat

that must be learned in Crow-land.
Just as Children must learn to read

"One of their most important les
sons in the summer school had been
the Cornfield lesson. They did not
need any book to learn about the
Cornfield. But they must remember
that gun is very terrible thing and
that it is better to go without corn
than to run any risk of falling to the
ground from one of the shots sent into
the air.
"They learned that Men and Boys
were apt to guard the Cornfield, and
one Cornfield they had left entirely
alone because they thought there was
always a Man standing with a gun
waiting. In reality it was a Scarce

TO LIVE LONG!

A recipe given by famous physician
for long life was: oKeep the Kidneys in
good order Try to eliminate thru the
skin and intestines the poisons that
otherwise clog the kidneys. Avoid eat
ing meat as much as possible; avoid too
much salt, alcohol, tea. Try a milk and
vegetable diet. Drink plenty of water,
and exercise go you sweat - the skin
helps to eliminate the toxic poisons
and uric acid"
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms of inflam-
nation, as backache, scalding Uwater, y
or If uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, Urusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is a
wonderful eliminator of uric acid and
was discovered by DR.. Pierce of Invalids'
Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. : If your druggist
does not keep it send 10 cents to DR..
Pierce for trial package and you will
find that it is many times more potent
than lithia and that it dissolves uric
acid os hot water does sugar.

Mrs. Ida Ford lives in Cuba, Mo-,

discovery is one that many other Mis-

Vap-O-Rub was introduced here from

covery is simply this:-that it is no
longer necessary to disturb the deli
cate little stomachs of the Riddles in
treating cold troubles. But let Mrs.

times on my little boy four years old

OYSTER SHELL is VALUABLE
II is Not Fed to Poultry for Purpose OF
Supplying Grit but as Material
for Egg Shell.

Oyster shell is fed to chickens for
the production of egg shells and not
for grit as some persons think, &C
cordlng to r. NJ. Sherwood, acting head
of the department Of poultry hus-
bandry in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
Approximately 80 per cent of the
oyster shell fed laying hens is con-
verted into egg shell, which has a
chemical composition almost identical
with that Of the original shell. Clam
shells and lime, although of practically
the same composition, are not as ap'
petizing to the chickens and so are moi
as valuable as the oyster shells.

Vick's Vap-O-Rub is the invention Of
North Carolina druggist. He found
how to combine Menthol and Camphor
with the volatile oils of Eucalyptus,
Thyme, Cubebs and Juniper in salve
form, so that, when Vap-O-Rub is APP
piled externally, the body heat re-
leases the ingredients in the form OF
vapors. These vapors are inhaled
with every breath, through the air
passages, to the lungs, loosening the
phlegm, and, in addition, Vick's is alb
sorbed through the skin, taking out
the tightness and soreness. This
double action makes Vap-O-Rub useful
for a wide range of troubles. From
intlammations of the air passages,
such as head colds, catarrh, asthma,
sore throat, bronchitis or deep chest
colds, down to iniammations Of the
skin and tissues, such as burns,
bruises, stings, piles and itchings. We

CRUSHING A NATION.
The Cambray League and the Fall Of

The League OF Cambray was the pO-
litical combination OF continental Eu-
rope I'm 1903 against the Venetian re-
public, which tore from the Queen OF
the Adriatic" her resplendent crown
and forced to her lips the cup Of deep
est humiliation.
Back OF the league and causing its
formation were jealousy, ambition and
the desire Of crippling the proud peo-
pie, whose history was the wonder and
envy Of the world. Too powerful to be
overthrown by any single power, 1t
was resolved that Venice should be
crushed by the combined forces OF all
Europe.
During the terrible days of Attila.
about a. ID. 4J3, Venice was founded
out among the lagoons OF the Adriatic,
where, it was felt, safety would be
found from the ravageS of the Hun.
The history OF the thousand years from

THE PRESIDENTS FLAG.
II Now Indicates When Mr.. Wilson Ii
at the White House.

For the last quarter Of a century
at least the American flag has been
caised above the White House when
the president was there, and If the
president went out for three or four
hours the flag was pulled down, so that
1t would look as though the White
House was only protected by the flag
when the president was in residence.
The Woman's Relief Corps and the
Grand Army OF the Republic have pro-
tested against this for many years, but
1t seemed without making any impress
sion. President Wilson, however, de-
cided that the flag Of the United States
should fly over the White House from
sunrise TO sunset every day In the year.
II seems to be necessary, however, that
there DE some emblem to indicate that
the president Is in the city.
President Wilson solved this problem
by deciding that the presidents flag
should he raised over the White House
whenever he was In residence and
taken down whenever he was outside
Of the White House grounds.
The flag of the president OF the Unit
ed States Is the presidents naval flag,
but II is little known to the public. AS
1t flies above the White House, it rep
resents the great seal of the United
States-namely, an eagle displayed in
proper colors, with the olive branch
In one talon, the arrows In the other,
and above its head a glory in which
appear thirteen stars. This is display
ed on ground of red, the flag itself
being blue. The seal is inclosed in one
large five pointed white star, encircled
by row OF forty-eight stars represent
ing the states in the Union. 1t floats |
over the porte-cochere Of the White |
House, and is in a straight line with
the staff Of the United States flag, |
which flies from the peak of the White |
House proper.-Washingto National
