Fortress, Silence, Glooml


The fortress Of st. Peter and st. Paul
Is the gloomiest Of bastiles. 1t stands
on the bank of the Neva In Petrograd,
opposite what was the Winter palace
Of Russia's masters. 1t is veritable
temple of silence, such as Carlyle sigh
ed for in vain. Prince Krapotkin, who
spent many weary months within its
walls, tells how the officers moved
about with silent tread. The floor Of
his cell was covered with felt, and he
found that though the walls had the
appearance Of being paper the paper
was only pasted on canvas. behind
which was a wire grating packed with
layers of felt Krapotkin measured
his cell and found that ten steps from
one corner to the othes' repeated $50
times was two-thirds of mile. He
desired to walk five miles a day and
accomplished his task walking rapidly
to the corners, but turning slowly to
avoid dizziness.

WHAT CATARRH IS

It has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates general weakness of
the whole system, and snuffs and
vapors do little, if any good.
Tocorrect catarrh you should enrich
your blood with the oi-food in SCOTS

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
Pain In the Ear.

Do not pour hot oil into the
ear to relieve pain. Heat can
be applied much better in hot
mixture of glycerin. alcohol and
water. which will not turn ran
cid or clog up the ear and can
be removed by Swinging with
water.
A towel or large pad Of gauze
wrung out in boiling water and
closely applied over the ear. Gov
cred with oil silk or protective
rubber tissue. is better than
hot water bag. This is because
more or less steam from the
moist cloth enters the ear and
softens the tissues which are in
famed.
A still better and almost infal-
lible way to relieve pain in the
ear is to invert funnel over a
bowl of boiling hot water and
let the steam from the small end
Of the funnel pass into the ear as
hot as 1t can be borne.

especially on Main and Gage streets
is to put in sewers large enough TO
take the surface water at frequent
catch basins and then it wouldn't
have to run the whole length Of the
village and find its way to the river
by natural channels. Probably
enough money has been spent clear
ing cutters to pay for proper sized
sewer mains on the main streets of
the village. 1t will have to be done
over and over again and at the same
time the public will have the nuisance
Of running water on the streets and

There is lot OF kicking by the
people Of Bennington about the con-

and the way the water overfl0ws on
the sidewalks and becomes serious
nuisance and also a menace when the
water freezes and the sidewalks be-
come a skating rink. The condition
is not due to the street commissioner
but to the fact that the village has
no proper provision to take care of
surface water. The cutters have been
cleared several times this winter but
Just as soon as it thaws and then
freezes the cutters fill up again and

who claims Hattiesburg as his home,
writes the Mayor of Grenada let
ter that needs little comment and no
reply. for its contents reveal the cal

standards of life. Explanations AS
to the political company the writer
of the letter keeps is entirely unnec-
assary; he is an excellent imitator
and knows his masters voice. In his
eagerness to give the citizens who
signed the endorsement his views he
overlooked the fact that his letter
comes dangerously near putting him
in the tolls of the Federal postal
laws.
The endorsement of President Will
son contained only the names of rock
ribbed Democrats. There was not
even a Republican-serving Democrat
on it.
Determined to treat him with the
utmost courtesy. Mayor Thomas, be-
fore turning the letter over for pub
lication, sent the following telegram
to Mr.. Holmes:

way from true English, but it is pub

marginal notes, and the following on
