a formidable oil field described by
William Dietrich in a recent issue of
the Petroleum Age lies in the Higashi-
yama district on the Sea of Japan.
Coolies dig hole with a pick and
shovel" says the writer, "and crib or
brace the walls as they go down. Their
wives pull up the dirt and the shale.
Some of these hand-dug wells are ex-
ceedingly deep, and the natives pump
air into them with an old-fashioned
blower
THE field covers about sixteen
square miles, and in this are several
producing wells. The largest of these
produce about ten koku (or $50 gal
lons) a day. Other wells furnish not
more than five gallons daily.
at is a common practice for the
head of a family to go to the oil wells
with two of the familiar five-gallon
oil-tins hanging from a yoke about his
neck. He carries the tins. filed with
crude oil, from five to seven miles to
his little home refinery, and the whole
family then turn to and help him re-
fine It. When that is finished, the
children take the oil to residential
districts nearby, and peddle 1t from
house to house in one or two sen lots"

Center of Attraction.

Angelina was, of all my acquaint-
nnces, the most vain. Happiness for
her seemed an impossibility unless she
was the center of attention. So when
we learned of her coming marriage
we knew that in style and display the
event would surpass anything that
had ever taken place in our town, and
we were not wrong in our eXpecta-
tlons. Under a bower of roses the
happy couple had been pronounced
man and wife and the organ pealed
forth a food of music. At this point
we were surprised to see the BRIDE
groom shaking hands with those near
est him. He didn't stop there, either
hut, leaving his blushing bride to face
the audience, alone, he passed up and
down the aisles of the church greeting
all the guests Chicago Tribune.

His Diamond a Bargain.

An amusing story is told in connec-
ton with the early days of Sir j. b.
Robinson, the South African million
aire, who has been figuring prominent
ly in the London law courts.
He was crossing the Vaal river in
1869, looking for diamonds. He asked
the natives if they had seen any ''pret-
ty stones" and at last he found man
who had a diamond. 1t was a small
stone, and the prospector offered $50
for it, but he refused to part with it.
He increased his offer to $50, but still
the man refused.
"What will you take for it?" he was
asked.
Twenty goats" was the firm reply (;
nothing less"
II sent off to the nearest farm" says
Sir ]. +. Robinson, in telling the story,
"and bought 20 goats for $3.50, and so
got possession OF my first diamond."-

coffee in that particular package was
| produced in South America.
! The picture Of a maple leaf on a
can Of sirup carries the fancy to the
delicious flavor and sweetness of the
product from Vermont, inducing pur-
chasers to pay more than they would
pay If they noted the statement in
very small type on the bottom of the
label that the product is corn strip
favored with cane.
When Quantity is Camouflaged.
The use of panel bottles which ap-
pear to have a capacity of four ounces
of favoring extract, but which on ac-
count of the thickness and contour of
the sides cannot be made to hold more
than two ounces, Is an old practice to
deceive the housewife in regard to the
quantity. Even when the quality of
contents is marked on the bottle, the
purchaser is likely to judge the guam
tity more by the size of the bottle,
which is so apparent, than by an in
conspicuous statement, which can be
seen only by close observation.
A more recent device for making a
little bit of pepper or spice look like
whole lot Is six-ounce tin package
with a shaker top which, because it
cannot be removed without destroying
the package, prevents the purchaser
from observing that there are only two
ounces or less in the package.
Deceptive devices appearing on the
labels of foods or drugs subject to
the jurisdiction of the federal food
and drugs act are in violation of that
law. The question as to whether any
given device is deceptive, and whetb-
or the deception is removed by cor
receive statements appearing else
where on the label, is one to be deter
mined by the facts in each case. Many
seizures have been effected and many
prosecutions maintained because of
the use Of deceptive devices held to be
misleading. Some forms of devices,
although deceptive, which do not APP
pear upon the labels, have been held
not to be covered by the provisions Of
the federal food and drugs act.
Action will be taken i'm all cases
believed to be in violation of the law,
say the officials. In the meantime CON
sumers can avoid being misled by de-
ceptive devices by carefully reading
the labels of all food and drug pack
ages.

WILD ANIMALS VISIT BANFF
Deer and Bears So Tame That They
Are Everyday Sights in Cana
dian Village.

Although Banff is a hustling village
during the summer, and is thronged
with tourists. wild deer from the
mountains are to be seen daily on the
streets, and at night stately elk leap
from the roads into the bushes TO
escape approaching automobiles. If
Banff cottager expects to eat his
own garden truck" he builds deer
proof fence around his patch. The
grounds of Brett hospital are open
from the street. and the other night
half a dozen deer made a raid upon
the flower garden. Banff is the cap
ital of Rocky Mountain park, and
shooting game within the park limits
is forbidden 10y law. The deer, being
unmoleSted have become very tame.
and even a bear now and then pays
friendly visit to the village. Not
long ago a bicyclist, speeding down
one of the side streets at night, hit
dark object, and turned a somersault
or two before he hit the macadam.
Sitting up, he looked around and dis
covered a bear hitting the trail for
home as fast as four legs could carry
him. Although tame and somewhat
obtrusive, the deer, elk and bear do
not relish too close an acquaintance
with man, and have proved them
selves to be not only picturesque but
perfectly safe MISUNDERSTANDING

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

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.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
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
common TO the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Needed Polishing.

She had been married just five
years and was rather discontented be-
cause her husband was not so atten-
tive as he had been in the early days
of their marriage. To her mother and
high school brother she was telling her
troubles. "He neglects me all the
time she complained. I'm just an
old shoe--that's all"
The mother sympathized with her,
but the brother openly voiced his
opinion in: well, don't you know, sis,
that a great many old shoes are often
made more valuable to their owners
by a little polishing?" He looked
meaningly at her frowsy appearance.
