Torres Strait Islanders
Have Their Own Idea of
Showing Respect to Dead

The natives of the Torres Strait
islands have their own ideas about
showing respect to the dead. One
way is to anOint the body with half
the contents of bottle of cheap scent
sold by the enterprising Orientals. "he
rest of the bottle is corked up and left
on the grave. There is a tiny grave
on Moa at the foot of which is baby's
feeding-bOttle-the probable cause OF
the unfortunate infant's death. Though
some of the larger islands have GENE
teries. graves are scattered all over
the place. Generally decorated with
empty and inverted rum bottles, they
are often found beside the cOrpSe's
late residence. Where the relatives
have been more ambitious-Or better
off-a proper marble" has been pro-
cured from Townsville or some other
coastal town. The sctting-up of one
of these stones is the excuse for a gen
eral gorge. Such an event recently
took place at Darnley, where a proper
stone" was erected over the grave of
the late MamOoSe-head man or king.
The ceremony was followed by three
days gorge of pig, yams, turtle, etc,
which was shaken uOwn-and room
made for mOre-by vigorous dancing
and singing by all hands.

To Keep the
Moths AWAY
Suggestions by State Leader Of
Home Demonstration Agents

All clothes should he taken care of
Systematically, as their period of en-
durance depends entirely on how they
are treated. Simple garments require
less care than elaborate ones Wooden
clothes. suits, coats, dresses and skirts
should be brushed regularly. Proper
hangers should be obtained for all out
side garments so that they will re-
tain their shape, and they should be
hung away from dust when not in use.
Moths have special liking for wool,
and wooden clothes should be carefully
guarded during the spring and sum-
mer. Eternal vigilance is really the
only successful method of protecting
wooden garments from moths. If the
garments are used from time to time
and must hang in closet or wardrobe,
they will be kept in good condition II
the following suggestions, prepared by
Miss Leila GaddiS of Purdue univer-
sity, state leader OF home demonstra-
ton agents, are carried out:
l. Keep the closet or wardrobe
clean.
.. II possible, have a window in the
closet.
3 Brush clothes thoroughly ut regu-
lar intervals.
T. Turn pockets wrong side out and
brush.
: Turn cuffs down and brush.
6. Brush under lapels, paits and the
top of hem.
Every one knows how much dust
cnliocts in crpyices of clothing. If this
dust is not allowed to remain, MOI rs
will not have satisfactory lodging
place.

Tennessee boy, according to a govern
ment agricultural report, took out a

chased boar of excellent breeding,

nessee Division fair, winning the grand
championship of the breed over all ex-
hibits. He won S87 in prizes. $45 of
it in competition with experienced
farmers. His animals are now val
ued at $525. This, with the money

s"TO THE MEN OF AMERICA"

You talk of your breed of cattle
And plan for higher strain,
You double the food of the pasture.
You heap up the measure of grain:
You draw on the credit of the nation,
TO better the barn and the pen,
But what are you doing. my brothers,
To better the breed of men?
You boast of your Morgans and Herefords,
OF the worth of calf or a colt,
And scott at the scrub and the mongrel
AS worthy a fool or dolt;
You mention the points of your roadster,
With many IA "wherefore' and when"
But, an! are you coming, my brothers,
The worth of the children of men?
You talk of your roan-colored filly,
Your heifer. so shapely and sleek.
No place shall be filed in your stanchions
BY stock that is unworthy or weak;
But what of the stock in your household?
Have they wandered beyond your ken?
Oh. what is revealed in the roundup
That brands the daughters of men?
And what of your boy? Have you meas
ured
His needs for a growing year?
Does your mark as his sire in his fea-
lures.
Mean less than your brand on a steer?
Thoroughbred-that is your watchword
For stable and pasture and pen:
But what is your word for the home
stead?
Answer. you breeders of men

Immense Arctic Icebergs Are
Melted by Gulf Stream Waves

Many of the icehcrgs that float
southwark from the arctic regions rise
FIVE to six hundred feet above the sur
face of the water. Yet even this tow
ering hulk is hut fraction OF the en-
fire mass of the iceberg, as the volume
beneath the surface is said to be no
less than seven times that above the
level of the waves: and it is in this
greater hidden mass that destruction
bepins to work the end of the noun
famous volume of ice. The warm wa
ters of the Gulf Stream battle the
sides of the iceberg. and as they con-
tinunlly waste it, gradually wear away
its bulk. So well do the waves do
their work, that even before the ice
berg has had time to float far enough
south for the rays of the sun to melt
it from above, the insidious attack of
the warm waters of the great ocean
current have completely destroyed it.

Grizzly Bear Never Eats
Human Flesh; Not Ferocious
flights When Necessary

The grizzly bear has been known to
the white race little more than a
century. Lewis and Clark wrote the
first official accounts of him in 1905,
and he was first discussed publicly in
1914 by Gov. De Witt Clinton in New
York city. Guthrie's old geography
says that he was named Ursus hor-
ribilus by Naturalist George Ord in
1915. Fossil records indicate that the
grizzly is Of Asiatic origin. He appears
to nave come into America about a
million years ago over one of the pre-
historic land bridges that united
Alaska and Asia. Bears and dogs are
descendants from the same parent
stock. The grizzly bear never eats hui
man flesh, is not ferocious and fights
only in self-defense. He lei. is an adj
venturous life, is a born explorer and
ever has good wilderness manners
never makes attacks. The numerous
cases in which the grizzly has been
made a pet and companion of man,
where he was thOughtfully. intelli-
gently raised. show him to be SUI
periOr animal, dignilied. intelligent,
loyal and uniformly good-tempered.
Not a grizzly exists in any of the
four national parks of California, and
that animal, once so celebrated in that
state, is extinct there. He is also ex-
tinct over the greater portion of the
vast territory which he formerly Oc-
cupied, and is verging on extermina
ton.

Probably no man in America was ever
better qualified to successfully treat the
diseases peculiar to women than DE-.
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. The cases that
come to him run into many thousands,
giving him an experience that rarely
comes to any one man. DR.. Pierce found
that in nearly every case there were
certain vegetable growths which rarely
failed to give prompt relief in those
feminine disorders from which so many
women suffer. He combined these roots
and herbs into a temperance medicine
that he called DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pres
cription. This medicine is sold in both
liquid and tablet form by druggists every
where. A weakly, sickly, backachy, head
achy, nervous, respondent woman, with

citation FOR the benefits that came to
them through DR.. Wroten's work as
their instructor Several have enclos-

e. E. SHANNON FOR

Kentucky Legislature from the district
composed of the counties OF Elliott and
Lawrence. His formal announcement
Will appear soon
This is new district and the ques-
tion OF which county Is entitled TO the
first nomination has been under con-
sideration. The rule that the county
casting the largest number of Demo-
cratic votes takes the lead in certain
matters connected with party organi-
zation, such as the district chairman
ship In conventions, seems to be about
the only guide in this case. Under this
construction Lawrence is entitled to
the first call. Then Elliott would have
the right of way next time and 1t
would thereafter be an alternating
proposition.
Mr.. Shannon was campaign chair
man of Lawrence coyssty last fall. He
has been active in politics all his life,
but this Is his first time TO go to the
people asking for votes for himself.

came to him recently from several cit
