ALL DUE TO MALNUTRITIoN
Various Diseases of Infancy and Childhood That Can Be Traced to
 Undernourishment.

Practically all varieties of malnutri- ition occurring during infancy and early childhood tend to terminate in riekets, a disease characterized by ,softening of the bones and consequent ,deformity. The essential feature of lrickets, says Dr. D. Pritchard in the British Medical Journal, is the want of 'calcifica9iOn or naturalization of de- weloping bone, and this, in its turn, is due to the existence of requirements for calcium, which for the time being are more urgent than those of develop ing bone. These urgent requirements are the necessity for neutralizing acid bodies in the bAoOd; in other words, to neutra Eize or compensate an exist ing acidO sis. Doctor Pritchard argues that all chronic conditions of malnutri ton, of whatever kind or from whatso- ever cause arising, finally terminate in an acidOsFs-aIl of which means that children who do not get proper nour- ishment re in fair way to become deform9l.

Highland superstitlons.

Did you know that if you lived in Scotland all salt cellars in the house must be full on New Years day, else the household will suffer want during the year?
 That is not the only superstition peculiar to Scotland. The country is full of them. For instance, the High land nurses believe that if an infants feet are put in snow he will never have colds during his life. A regular prac- tice among the farmers used to be the placing of honeysuckle branches in their COW houses on May 2 to keep their cattle from being witched.

sneeoa Should Be Worth While.

And when you have something to say it's worth saying well. It's not just that you say words. You must say them so they attract and convince. We all use pretty much the same words but they sound so differently from the mouths of different people. There are books galore that are musty with unuse because what they say is poorly said. If the thought had been matured into small compass and told in telling diction they should be popu- lar works. And it's the same with speech. Some men have good ideas, but they take so long to tell them that people get tired. Sometimes they even get weary before the man begins to speak. The world wants what you know, but it isn't willing to waste time listening to mere words.

FIRST PARLIAMENT IN 1265
From That Time Dates the Entry of
 the Commons Into Power in B. the State.

The 20th of January, 1265. was Q speaking people but the world; it was the time appointed for the meeting of the first parliament in England.
 Mathew of Paris in his chronicles first uses the word in reference to a council of the barbns in 1246, but it was in the year 1R65, during a civil war which very much resembled that of the seventeenth century, being for law against an arbitrary power as ex- pressed by royalty, that the first par liaments. properly so-called, were as- sembled. It was at this time that Simon de Montfort held King Henry in his power.
 This parliament was summoned in such a manner that there should be two knights for each county, and two citizens for every borough the first c.ear acknowledgment of the commons element in the state. The meeting was held in that magnificent hall at Vest minister and the representatives of the commons sat in the same place with their noble associates, probably at the bottom of the hall, little disposed to assert a controlling voice nor joining in any vote But there they were and, notwithstanding the fact that De Montfort was shortly overpowered and he and nearly all of his associates slaughtered, the commons were never again left out. It was an admitted power entitled to be consulted in all great national movements and to have a directing voice In the matter of taxation.

STANDARDS OF STOCK
Activities of Live Stock Association illustrate Benefits of
 Cooperation. S

The manner in which cooperative buying can further the movement for better stock is illustrated by the ac- tivities of a live stock association in northern Wisconsin. It purchased g head of fine cattle from another part of the state and also several head from its own vicinity. The asseeia- tion sold these animals individually to various stock raisers. The money net sed by the transaction was used in further promotion of the purebred cause by purchasing 8 purebred bull calves. The calves were then dis tributed by lot among the members of the association. Thus the cooperative effort of the association has made pos sible raising the stock standards on the farms of practically the entire community, having brought into the county $16,O0O worth of well-bred live stock.

 est the public and improve the meth ods used in the production and care of live stock.
 At the Missouri state fair boys and girls club teams Judged both beef and dairy cattle. In putting on the demon strations each member had his par ticular part to do. The captain of the team introduced one member, who gave the history and characteristics of an ideal beef animal and the same for one of dairy type. Another mem- Der compared dairy and beef cattle by using an animal exhibited at the fair to illustrate his points. The captain then scored beef steer, using large score card that could be read by every one in the audience. Each point was discussed and the rating of the good and poor features of the animal were pointed out and scored.
 At the interstate fair, at Sioux City, Ia., the Nebraska live stock judging team won first honors in competition with teams from North Dakota, South Dakota, Missouri and Iowa.

HELEMA'S LAST LIVERY
STABLE COME PASSING
RECALLS PIONEER DAYS

In those early days Helena was
constant scene of miners rushing out
to new discovery fields. The pros
pectors would come to the livery barn
and buy horses at fancy prices and in
a few months return the animals al
low figures, after the new field had
been played out.
"Those were the days of higher
prices for livery rentals and lower
prices for hay" said McComas. GOOD
hay could be bought in the Prickly
Pear valley from SIS to $40 a ton.
Oats sold from 81 to SIS a hundred.
mo single horse rigs were rented
out then. They were all doubles and
the charge was SIS a day. Many
saddle horses were in use in those
days, many women being good riders,
with the result chat horseback riding
was a popular sport"
McComas we'll remembers the
many stage coach lines that ran into
Helena in those days and which also
touched other important Montana
mining points. The first stage in the
territory was the Pony express to
Bannack. Then Ben Holiday ran a
line from Salt Lake to Virginia City
and later in the sixties Gilmore G
Salisbury raj a line between the same
points, and it was continued from
Virginia City to Helena by way of
Whitehall. This vas a six-horse
stage, with relay every 10 miles, ma
king it the best stage of the time in
the region. This line also went to
lodge.

Another epoch in the history OF
Helena is gone.
Another link in the chain that con-
nected the early day gold rushes
with the present, that contrasted the
travel of yesterday with today, that
indicated the clinging of the old west
to the new west, is broken.
The last livery stable in Helena
has been closed with the sale of the
barn at 314 Breckenridge street by
Thomas Sillers to the county for use
as a garage for the county road ma
terial. Sillers, who was in the livery
business in Helena for Is years, had
been the only one for nearly three
years in the livery business in the
Capital city.
But to William R. McComas of
Helena goes the distinction of being
the oldest liveryman in the state. In
the sixties he drove horses overland
from California for sale to the miners
of this region. He would bring over
from 800 to 500 head at a time, buy
ing them unbroken for as little as SIS
each. The animals would be broken
on the road, McComas riding bronks
every day en- route. The horses would
then sell from 800 to $50 each.
The trip from California would take
from two to two and one-half months.
Rode Many Bronks
In the spring of 1869 McComas
drove his last bunch from California
and that year went into the livery
business in Helena with the Travis
brothers, their place being located or

Then McComas bought the cab
