LIEUT.. COL. ELLIOTT DIES

The body will be sent to Wood

Lieut.. Col. Elliott was a native of
New York city and entered the service
Gust before the Spanish American war,
being commissioned from the ranks
in 1900 as first lieutenant in the 8th

Largest Shade Tree in
coussy Is Sycamore; As
Feet in Circumference

The American Forestry Magazine is
urging the planting of sycamores for
shade trees. 1t shows that they are of
rapid growth and attain large size. It
also calls attention to the beauty of
the tree-a thing which many people
do not really appreciate. In the in
terest of more beautiful cities, it is
desirable that sycamores be encour-
aged, the magazine urges.
The largest shade tree in this coun-
try is a sycamore in Worthington, Ind
1t is 46 feet in circumference and $50
feet in height-the most beautiful
specimen of tree to be found at least
in the middle West. But it isn't the
only grand old sycamore" to be
found; there are thousands and thou
sands of them in this country, says the
Columbus Dispatch.
The sycamore requires plenty of
but moisture is easily sup
piled in modern city. Besides, the
tree has habit of reaching out after
it's roots extending for long
distances and going deep into the
earth.

Forty Is Sacred Number
With Respect to Weather
After st. SWithin's Day

The 4O-day period of imaginary
flood or drought following st. Swith-
ms day is now long past for this year,
and we shall hear no more of that
singular superstition, says the New
York Herald, until next summer, when
it will doubtless bob up serenely,"
only to be discredited again as it has
invariably been every year since the
worthy bishop of Winchester was bur-
led the second time. For, of course,
the prophecy has never so much as
once been fulfilled. 1t requires every
day from July 10 to August "a in every
year to be either rainy or rainless,
which is something that never has
happened in any year.
Why 40 days was selected as the
period of meteorological monotony is an
interesting question, though it is prob
able that it was suggested by the 40
days downpOur in Noah's time. At
any rate, it is only one of the many
noteworthy uses that have been made
of the number 40 in fact and fiction.
After the 40 days and 40 nights Of
rain at the deluge, it will be recalled,
Noah waited 40 days before he opened
the window of the ark and sent forth
the raven.

Stoppage of Circulation
Causes "PinS and Needles

After being for long time in a
constrained attitude a peculiar numb
ness and prickling is often felt in the
arm. the leg, or the foot. This is
caused by some interruption to the
circulation of the blood and can usual
ly be removed by rubbing or exer-
else. Physicians say that the reason
for this sensation, which is decidedly
uncomfortable, is that pressure for a
certain length of time deadens the
sensibility of a nerve. When this
pressure is suddenly removed Gas in
Strengthening out the leg after sitting
with it doubled underneath the body
sensibility gradually returns to the
nerves and as each nerve-fiber COM
posing the trunk regains its normal
condition of sensibility a prickling
sensation is felt, and these successive
pricklings from the successive awak-
enings of the fibers have not inaptly
been called pins and needles"

| Short Measure in Canned
Goods to Have Attention
of Federal Authorities

Federal food inspectors have been
Instructed to watch for interstate snip
ments of canned foods which have
been slack-filled; that is, which con-
tain too much water and too little
solid food. Officials of the bureau or
chemistry, United States department
of agriculture, who are charged with
the enforcement of the federal food
and drugs act, say that action under
the law will be taken against VIOLA
tors.
The practice Of slack filling food
cans, in the opinion of the officials, is
demOraliZing to the trade and unfair
to the consumer. To put full can in
competition with slack-filled can
places the honest Gamer at diSad-
vantage. The consumer almost inva-
riably receives more for his money
when buying full can than when
buying slack-flled can even though
he pays higher price for the full can.
In some instances, however. when the
Gamer sells his slack-f cans to the
trade at prices lower than the market
price for full can, the consumer is
charged as much for the slack-filled
can as for the full can. In such cases
both the Gamer and the dealer share
in unfair profits at the expense Of the
consumer.
Putting excess liquid in cans adds
unnecessary expense in canning. stOr-
ing and shipping. since the excess
liquid requires more cans and in
creases freight and storage charges all

Rabbits Afford Good Meat

they consume are of the cheaper kinds
and they are far from expensive to

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-Ro 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 on the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
20 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.
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. II is on sale
ct 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 4 Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for q
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Useful Asbestos Is Found

Asbestos in modern times has come
to be very extensively manufactured
into incombustible cloth, gloves, felt,
paper and other articles OF common
use, and is much used as covering tll
steam boilers and pipes, in the manu-
facture of gas stoves, and, mixed with
metallic pigments. it is employed as
paint for wooden structures, roofs
partitions and the like to render them
freproof or fire-resistant. 1t is found

Millions to Be Spent by
Japanese for Aviation

The Japanese government is pre-
.nasang to appropriate the equivalent
'of $7225. 100000 for the development of

over four or five years. Interest in
aviation has been stimulated there by
the special French aviation CORPS
which is teaching the Japanese army.

ton and the fact that she is subscrib-
ing such large amount Of money in
