Strange things happen in the course
OF the days work in being governor
OF Virginia. But 1t Is a pretty good
job at that.
Recently the governors once re-
ceived a letter, written upon the let

the writer volunteered certain In

declares he never wrote any such let

of writing to governors anyway. ana
that he has never written to Governor

He described the regions where the
strikes are most serious as being the
Springfield and Peoria district, Frank

and the Gillespie mines near Belle

western Indiana district and the Berg
hold district In Ohio. In each case the
strike was caused by the miners de-
mandlng immediate wage increases.
The increases should come at the same
time the presidents coal prices went
into effect, according to the miners.
DIR. Garfield declared that the union
officials were playing square, but that
they simply were unable to hold the

number included about ten thousand

DIR. Garfield issued the following
statement to the public:

This question cannot be answered
by a simple yes or no. On the one

Died of Premature Old Age

How many times we hear of COM
paratively young persons passing away
when they should have lived to be 70
or 80 years of age. This fatal work is
usually attributed to the kidneys, as,
when the kidneys degenerate, it causes
administration. The more injuri-
GUS the poisons passing thru the kid
neys the quicker will those noble or
gans be degenerated, and the sooner
they decay.
It is thus the wisest policy, to pre-
vent premature old age and promote
long life, to tighten the work of the
kidneys. This can be done by drink
ing plenty of pure water all day long,
and occasionally taking Anuric, double
strength, before meals. This can be
obtained at almost any drug store. You
will find Anuric more potent than lith1a
for it dissolves uric acid as water does
sugar.

WOULD MAKE PREACHER FARM
Each Should Be Given Small Tract to
Till to Increase His Income,
Minister Declares.

That every minister throughout the
country, particularly in rural districts,
should be made to become a tiller of
the soil in addition to his spiritual du-
ties, is the belief of the Rev. John j.
NeighbOr, rector of st. James EpiScO-
pal church at Bradley Beach, n. ]. He
emphatically advocated the project in
q recent sermon, the Brooklyn Eagle
states.
The Rev. Mr.. Neighbor expressed the
opinion that every student for the min
istry should be required to take a
course in an agricultural college as a
part of his training for the pulpit. Then
each parish should set apart GER
tain amount of land for the minister to
till, the proceeds of which would go to
help pay his salary and incidentally
increase his income. The preacher
said:
"Such q plan would be beneficial to
both the parish and its rector. 1t
would give him the means of solving
large part of the financial difficulty
that often hampers him in his work
and make him more independent and
efficient Certain hours in the day,
or so many hours Il week, should be
set apart and prescribed as time for
his agricultural duties. This would
benefit him physically as well as aiding
him to make both ends meet"

BEAUTIFY YOUR HAIR
Make 1t Thick, Glossy, Wavy, Luxur.
liant and Remove Dandruff-Reai
Surprise for You.

Your hair becomes light, wavy, fluff
fy abundant and appears as soft, lus-
trous and beautiful as young girls
after "Danderine hair cleanse" Just
try this-moisten a cloth with little
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. This will cleanse
the hair of dust, dirt and excessive oil
and in just few moments you have
doubled the beauty of your hair.
Besides identifying the hair at once,
Danderine dissolves every particle of
dandruff; cleanses. purifies and invig-
crates the scalp, forever stopping itch
ing and falling hair.
But what will please you most will
be after a few weeks use when you
will actually see new hair-fine and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair-growing all over the scalp. If
you care for pretty, soft hair and lots
of it, surely get 25 cent bottle OF

and just try it. Adv.

a "SjdereaI Day,"

In answering a correspondent who
asked the meaning of the term side
real time" the Irish Times explains
that it is the only truly scientific man
ner of recording time, and is that
which astronomers and navigators use.
A "sidereal day" is the precise time
taken by the earth in revolving on its
axis, and is % hours, SO minutes and 4
seconds. Our sundials, however, re-
cord very different day.
If you set up a sundial in garden
and observe when it is noon today, and
again tomorrow, you will find that it
exceeds the "sidereal day" by three
minutes and So seconds. The differ
ence is due to the distance that the
earth has Travelled on its orbit while
If has been revolving on its axis. The
orbit motion makes it necessary for
the earth to turn nearly four minutes
longer in order to bring any place to
the same position with regard to the
sun that it had on the previous day.

Joy in Trying.

Do not 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 cOntentcd to let things hap
pen; make things happen. Whatever
your business or occupation, aim to ex-
eel in it. Financial gain is not all one
gets from labor well performed. Your
character is elevated and your mind is
enlarged and the satisfaction in having
done we'll is the most real joy. Don't
be afraid to set your aim high. Gid
it with your highest ideals. Let the
hope of its attainment nerve your
every act. Turn incidents and cir
cumstances toward the attainment of
your aim. If you have no aim, you
reach nowhere. A life without pur-
pose is a dreary thing, without real
Joy. Suppose you fail to reach the
heights you have set as your stand
ard; 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.-AIilwaukee Jour-
