WHAT A NEWSPAPER MEANS
Some Truths That the Average Man
May Not Have Realized, but
Here They Are.

What does the newspaper mean to
you?
There is so much news no one can
carry all of it. Someone must make
selection. Do you appreciate how
much depends upon this selection7
Upon the selection and emphasis Of
the news depends the picture of the
world upon which your judgments are
based.
If business man, your decision in
business is affected by the newspaper
you read.
In politics your opinions as a voter
are Swayed by them.
By what your wife reads you can
see the trend of many of her interests
and needs.
You have your thought turned In
new channel perhaps by what you
read, and, when you find others con-
cerned as you are and that the idea
has been followed in their brains as
in yours, you possibly discover how
you can do collectively what you alone
never could accomplish.
The newspaper enlarges the view
point Of life for your boy in his college
years. Stories of high purpose of
achievement strengthen and uplift his
standards. The great world of life
which he has not touched exists to
him only as presented by the news

other people instead of choosing his

celebrated and successful laborers

weaker sort leaned, and not in vain,
that virtue would come out of them.

PLANTS PURIFIERS OF AIR
Their Consumption Of carbonie Acid
Gas, Always Going on, is Of
Great Benefit.

Plants do not breathe or have any
action corresponding TO the breathing
of animals. Oxygen is essential To the
sustaining of life in animals. includ-
ing human beings, and in breathing
air they consume or appropriate the
oxygen it contains and give out car
bOnic acid gas, which is poisonous
Plants do not consume oxygen. but
they consume carbOnic acid. thus help
ing to purify the atmosphere. which is
to some extent rendered impure by
the breathing of animals. They do not
generate oxygen, but they release It
by consuming the carbonic acid. Tyn-
dali, a celebrated scientist. says: Con
slider all the fires in the world and all
the animals in the world continually
pouring their carbOnic acid into the
atmosphere. Would II not he fair to
conclude that our air must become
more and more contaminated and unfit
to support either combustion or life?
This seems inevitable, but II would be
a conclusion founded upon half knowl-
edge. and therefore wrong. 4 prOvi-
sion exists for continually purifying
the atmosphere of its excess of car
bonic acid. BY the leaves of plants
this gas is absorbed, and within the
leaves it is decompOsed by the solar
rays. The carbon is stored up in the
tree, while the pure oxygen is restored
to the atmosphere. CarbOnic acid, in
fact, is to a great extent the nutriment
of plants, and inasmuch as animals in
the long run, derive their food from
the vegetable world, this very gas,
which at first sight might be regarded
as deadly constituent of the atmOs-
phere, is the main sustainer, both of
vegetable and animal life"

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. kilmers Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest foI
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad
wise our readers who feel in need of such q
remedy to give it trial 1t is on SALE

Dove That Built Great City.

When mighty Amru went to conquer
Egypt he camped on the east bank of
the Nile opposite Memphis, that great
2O-mile-long capital Of mud bricks,
whose western verge was the pyra-
mids and whose mud brick houses have
all vanished. Amru crushed the Egyp-
tians and came back to get his camp
to move over and occupy Memphis.
A dove had built in the folds near the
top of his tent. Blood-bathed Amru,
the ruthless, would not let her be dis
turbed. A new city started about his
tents. 1t grew nOrthward along the
Nile. 1t is today Cairo. Memphis is
only name.

ALL WILLING TO PAY FARES
Reason Why Citizens of Lima, Peru,
Do Not Seek to EVade Their
Street Car Obligations.

If fare registers were to be placed
in the street cars of Lima, Peru, there
would be loud protest. This is not
because it is easier to dodge the con-
ductOr under the prevailing system.
On the contrary, the travellers of Lima
are willing, even anxious, to pay their
fares. Perhaps that doesn't seem hu-
man, but the explanation is that upon
receipt of the fare a numbered ticket
is presented to the passenger, and it
is valuable lottery ticket.
The car lines are divided into four
sections for the monthly and semi
monthly drawings conducted by the
railway company. In the three impor-
tant sections cash prize of $3.50 is
offered. The fourth section offers a
prize of $50.

terry? Does it? Well 2S,5OO,OOO per-

Plenty of worms live in the sea,
and some of them are very beautiful
creatures. Which latter fact ought to
be cOnsOling to ourselves, inasmuch as
there are naturalists who contend that
the earliest ancestor of the human race
was marine worm. But the sO-called
"silkworm of the sea"-the designation
being purely figurative and poetical-
is bivalve mollusk properly known
as the "pinna" and native to the Medi-
terranean. It spins a silk so beautiful
that in ancient days the fiber was re-
served exclusively for the weaving of
royal garments. This silk is spun by
the mOlluSk to furnish an anchor line
by which it fastens itself to con-
venient rock. 1t is extremely fine and
very strong. Cleaned, dried and passed
through combs, it is reduced to deli
cate threads of lustrOus brownish-
yellow hue, which are woven into
gloves, stockings and other articles. A
pair of stockings of this material today
costs $6.-Philadelphi Ledger.

Great Tibetan Industry

BY far the largest herds of musk
deer are to be found on the southern
shores of the KOkO-Nor, and the sup
ply of musk there Cat T'aochou) is
larger than the quantity that comes

titles of musk do not come to Sungpan
at all, but are sent east to YuchOw,
in HOnan, where fair is held in the
ninth and tenth moons, many of the
Sungpan traders visiting this place. At
Tachienlu musk is the most valuable
export, practically every hong reeking
with it, and nearly all the Tibetans
who come from the far interior bring
some with them. The price of medium
musk there is thirteen times it's weight

Twelfth nav In italy.

Twelfth day is more honored in Italy
than In any other country. It is, in
fact, to Italian children what Christ
mas is to our own, and they hang
small bags beneath the bedroom
chimney, believing that an old lady
named Befana descends during the
night and fills them with presents. I'M
ages of this philanthropic old dame
are carried about the streets by the ex-
pectant children, and every Italian toy
shop is honored by her presence. The
resemblance between Befana and San
ia Claus Is obvious.

Artificial Sponge Propaaation.

The growing scarcity of spOnges has
warned those familiar with harvesting
them that unless means are provided
to augment the natural supply the
sponge industry will be seriously Grip
pied in a few years more. An Eng
lishman, living in Florida, some time
ago selected a site off the Florida
coast, where he started sponge farm.
At present he has about 100000
sponges, which are capable by subdi-
vision of increasing about tenfOld ev-
cry three years. At the end of three
years an annual yield Of 100000
sponges can be had. - Portsmouth

Shark Leather Here.

From being an implacable enemy to
man science is making the shark expi-
ate it's crimes by helping to reduce the
high cost Of living. For the tiger of
the sea has now become source of
leather to clothe millions of pairs of
feet.
Experiments with shark leather indi-
cate that it may be used for practically
everything now made of cattle leather.
1t is even claimed that shark hides
have one great advantage over cow
hides in that the "splits" are amaz-
.ingly strong. A "split" is simply a
peeling Of the hide-something like the
veneer cut from a slab of wood.
