Joy In Trying.

Do lot allow yourself to just drift
along through life. Set before you an
aim, some real purpose. Cultivate hope
and ambition to accomplish something.
Do not be cOntented to let things hap
pen; make things happen. Whatever
your business or occupation aim to ex-
eel in It. Financial gain is Mt all one
gets from labor well performed. Your
character is elevated and your mind iS
enlarged and the satisfaction IN hay
ing done well is the most real joy.
Don't be afraid to set your aim nigh.
Gid it with your highest ideals. Let
the hope of its attainment nerve your
every act Turn incidents and circum-
stances toward the attainment Of your
aim. If you have no aim you reach
nowhere A life without purpose is
drealy thing, without real joy. Sup
pose you fail to reach the heights you
have set as your standard; you will
have gone higher than If you had not
striven. You will be more useful: of
more worth than if you had not tried.

An Expert In Motives.

Cousin Henry is an expert in mo-
tlves. If you were reading off list
Of names and overlooked Henry he
would understand. He would know
exactly the motive that prompted you
to do it. If you don't think to intro
duce him to the man who is with you
he can see Through it. He may have
to go back four or five years, but he
will make complete case against y0u.
In less than an hour he will know
what your motive was. Right now he
is angry because his daughter was not
selected as valedictorian of her class
You may think that the other girl de-
served to be selected, but you don't
know all that Henry knows. 1t II a
long story, but he is willing to tell it
to you, and after hearing it you will
understand the motive-yOu will un-,
derstand that tits case of spite work.

Charged With Theft

A San Francisco dispatch of June
5 says: ELTON D, Hooker, railway
mail clerk on the run between San
Francisco and Ashland, was arrested
here today by United States postal
inspectors. A search of his room re-
vealed several thousand dollars
worth Of jewslry, according to Inspec-
tor Stephen M. Morse, who said that
Hooker had been under surveillance
for some time"
Mr.. Hooker is bright and capable
young man, known to a number of
people of Ashland, having run into
the city for several years. He was
one of the eight selected for the new
Ashland-Gerber route and was to
have taken up his residence in this
city the 18th of this month.

WelI Balanced Diet.

One of the most common faults of
the diet is the eating of too much pro-
tein foods. In excess this is hard for
the body TO eXcrete and is likely TO de-
compose in the intestines with the
formation of poisonous waste products.
Green vegetables and raw fruit are
important elements Of the diet. There
is little energy in these foods, but they
supply mineral salts which the body
needs and curious substances called
vitamins, which are easily destroyed
by cooking.
One food expert has suggested a rdle
for securing a well balanced diet. 1t
is: An ordinary family should spend
about as much for, milk, vegetables
and fruits as for meats, fish and eggs
and ms much for milk and eggs as fol
meat and fish.

How David earrick Made His Fortune.

How David Garrick Made His Fortune
If David Garrick had had no more
than his salary as an actor he would
have had little to leave at his death
He made his fortune as joint proprie-
tor, and for time as sole proprietor
of Drury Lane theater, so that the
amount set down to himself as salary
was practically nominal. When he re-
tired from the stage in 177G he sold
half his share in the theater for $780,
600. He was probably the only actor
who consistently made Shakespeare
pay, and, like Shakespeare, he was
actor, author and proprietor.
1t may be recalled that Garrick, who
had no enemies outside his own Pre-
fesslon, was the grandson Of French
man exiled at the revocation Of the
edlct of Nantes and that his father
was a captain in the army.-Lordon

FoIlies of Science.

The history of science has seven
problems which men in all ages more
or less have tried to solve, but which
have finally been given up by all. To
day they are called follies.
The usual list comprises the follow
ing: First, sQuaring the circle; second,
duplication of the cube; third, trisec-
tlon of an angle; fourth, perpetual mo-
tion; fifth, transmutation of metals;
sixth, fixation of mercury; seventh,
elixir of life. Some lists put the phi
losopher's stone for the last three and
then add astrology and magic to make
the seven.

The bungalow constructed by Bar
Der & Co. on the Milne mine, near the
mouth of Scott river, has excited the
wonder and admiration of everyone
who has seen it. We understand that
1t will cost in the neighborhood of
$1,000, the architecture and work
manship being Of the very best. Stu
ated on an elevation adjoining the
county highway, 1t is one of the pic
turesque sights to strike the eye of
the wayfarer in that section, who at
first glance might imagine himself
in some fabulous wonderland. It is
said this company's placer holdings
even with extensive operations, will
require 20 years to exhaust. .-Siski-

May Close State
Farm Loan Office

On account Of the fact that many
of the leading banks of the state
have refused to take out farm loan
bonds offered by the state land board
and as a result Of the offer of the
state banks to take up the loans only
$150,000 worth Of bonds have been
taken by nine banks, 1t is probable
that the state land board will close
up the farm land loan proposition
for a time.

NOTE: 1t is now asserted with con-
fidence that these painful effects due to
uric acid in the system arc entirely eradi-
Gated. A new remedy, called 'Anuric,"
has been discovered by DR.. Pierce, and Is
the cause of drainage outward of the
uric acid with which it comes in contact
within the body. 1t will ward off back
ache, headache, and the darting pains and
aches of articular or muscular rheuma-
tism-of those diseases which are caused
by too much uric acid, such as gout,
asthma, sciatica, renal calculus. SAn-
uric prolongs life because old people usu-
ally, suffer from hardening and thickening
OF the walls OF the arteries, due to the eX-
cess OF uric acid in the blood and tissues.
DR., Pierce, who is director and chief
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. has
been testing this wonderful medicine for
the relief of over-worked and weakened
kidneys. The relief obtained by sufferers
has been so satisfactory that he deter
mined to place "Anuric" with the~prin-
cipal druggists in town where people
could get this ready-to-use medicine.
TAnuric" Is not harmful or poisonous,
but aids mature In throwing off those
poisons within the body which cause so
much suffering, pain and misery. Scien-
fists assert this remedy is 81 times more
potent than lithia.
For Diabetes and Bright's Disease this
remedy is building up o reputation as
good as DR.. Pierce's other well-known
medicines which have been proven reli-
able during nearly fifty years, such as
Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription
for the ills Of women, Doctor Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets, the liver regulator, and
Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
