hathands Have Meaning.

There's reason for placing the bow
of the hatband at the left side, which
dates back to the days when men used
to settle their troubles with sword.
1t was very necessary then to be able
TO draw ones weapon at moments
notice-quarrels broke out almost
without provocation. Feathers or
hanging plumes were always worn on
the left side, so that there was no
chance of their interfering with the
freedom of the sword arm. As time
went on. feathers gave place TO rib
hons, sometimes used TO secure the
hat to the head; the ends of these
were brought to the left side to be
out of the way of the right arm. When
men ceased to settle their quarrels
summarily with weapons, the left side
of the hat continued to carry any lit
tie extra decoration allowed on ii; and
there it has remained to this day.

WORTHY OF HIGHEST HONOR
Trailmaker, Whether in Physical or

responsibilities.

To be worthy trnilmaker one must
see In Imagination the thousands who
will follow the path he has the temer-
ity TO mark out. sympathy for them
will affect every rod of his work. lie
must be quick TO note the points where
there may be confusion on the part OF
the climber. No one can miss path
cut through heavy underbrush. But
out in the open forest or on long
stretches of treeless lodges he must
take particular pains. Trees must be
blazed, footpaths made certain. Cairns
of stones must be placed like we'll
marked signposts. A trailmaker must
have il on his conscience that even a
single traveller might fail because of
his failure to make the path certain.
II this is true of one who essays to
make a mountain trail, how much
greater the responsibility on him who
undertakes to blaze the way into those
higher ranges of human activity.
Honor to those who made their way
across the uncharted seas or trackless
wastes, but Still more honor to those
who have dared to lead out into the
unknown regions of mind and heart
along every line of intellectual and
spiritual achievement.-Henry Wood

Sponge Not Vegetable.

Sponges were long thought to be
vegetables, but they are now known to
be animals. Their appearance when
they come to the market is SO unlike
that of the living sponge that il is
quite TO be expected that seeing it only
in use one would hardly suspect its
origin. The sponge grows mostly at
the bottom of the sea on rocks, to
which it is fixed by a kind of root.
1t is made up of a jellylike substance
and framework of tough tibers. This
framework is really the skeleton OF
the sponge; it is the sponge of com
merce The skeleton is covered with
a jelly-like substance and is sticky
when taken out of the water. They
are usually buried in the dry sand for
time until the jelly part decays.
They are then put in wire cages into
the sea until they are washed clean

WHISTLER PICTURES
PAINTED IN PEORIA
DISTURB HIS FRIEND

The latest victim OF the spiritualists
is Whistler.
From beyond the grave the eminent
and approximations artist is sending
back to earth pictures of trees, cows,
brooks and various pastoral subjects
through the medium of a lady in Pc
oria. Ill.
As is the case of other men. of note
who, according TO the spirtualists,
have succeeded in breaking through
the veil that hides us from the great
teyond the artists style has gone off
most lamentably since his demise, ana
the general feeling among the cognos-
cent? is that if this is the best he can
do he ought to restrain himself and
not spoil the reputation the fine work
done during his life time won for him
1t is said that the Middle West is
wrought up over the Peoria Whistlers
that are creating a sensation i'll that
part of the country. but their excite
ment is as nothing compared to that
of Joseph Pennell. the etcher. friend
and biographer of Whistler. Mr.. Pen
aell complains that he is swamped by
letters from writer's who want to know
whether the pictures which Whistler's
ghost is painting through the lady in
Peoria, I'll are genuine Whistlers.
Mr. Pencil has a scrapbook with
clippings showing reproductions of the
Peoria Whistlers and photographs of
the Mrs. Smith whose hand is said to
be guided by the genius of the dead
artist.
Mr.. Pennell is rude enough to call
these pictures daubs and is emphatic
in doing so. He also says:
in the Peoria case, believe the
idea of connecting Whistler with Spir-
tualism was based on his biography
Whistler was deeply interested in
Spiritualism and was at one time
much in compeny with Rossetti, who
was an ardent believer. Burne-Jones,
George Meredith, Swinburne and a
good 'many of note also were interest
ed. Whistler was very eager to get
in touch with spirits for inspiration,
but il all came 10 nothing"

IF KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to flush Kidneys and
neutralize irritating
acids

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from the uric acid. says noted
authority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder, where il often remains TO
irritate and infame. causing a burn
ing. scalding sensation. or setting up
an irritation at the neck of the blad-
der. obliging you to seek relief two
or three times during the night. The
sufferer is in constant dread, the wa
alter passes sometimes with scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness. most folks call
il, because they can't control urna-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
ments to overcome. Get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from your phar-
macist and take a tablespoonful in a
glass OF water before breakfast con-
tinue this for two or three days. This
will neutralize the acids in the urine
so it no longer is source of irri-
tation TO the bladder and urinary or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless.
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders
caused by uric acid irritation. Jad
Salts is splendid for kidneys and
causes no bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, effer-
vescent Whitewater drink, which
quickly relieves bladder trouble.-Adv.

TAKE HONOR FROM SlEGFRIED
Legends Ascribe Staying Of Monster
of the Rhine to Heroic Captive
Christian Maiden.

One of the most conspicuous noun
tains near the Rhine is the historic
Drachenfels, or Dragons rock, named
from that legendary monster OF the
Rhine, which was both the sc0urge and
terror of the region. The legend OF
the hero, Siegfried, who slew the mon
ster and became invulnerable by bath
Ing in its blood, has been immortalized
in song and story. Another myth. how
ever makes the slayer of the dragon
q young woman.
According TO this tradition the beast
came down the mountain daily,
seeking whom IL might devour. The
Romans decided to curb it by taking
a prisoner to the dragons cave daily.
One day girl, so pretty that two cen
turions resolved to fight to see who
would claim her, was taken prisoner.
The Roman general interfered and de
cided that to settle the affair neither
should. get her. but that she should be
given to the dragon. This was consid-
cred In the army as a decision rank
ing with the judgment of Solomon.
The girl, a Christian, was taken to
the cave, and the monster soon APP
peared The beast howled, smacked
his lips and ratified its scales like tam
bourines. The girl drew forth cruel
fix. which she displayed to the beast.

ted himself sick for two weeks because
he had swiped an umbrella in res
taurant. He went around growing
pale and kept looking over his shout

owner might pop up. After the second
painful week of this sort of thing he
told his wife about it, and proposed to
send the umbrella to the police lost de-
partment.

boob, this is the umbrella bought you

tor of the Budget, in taking up the
tremendous task of cutting out

His chief dependence necessar-

service, for these are the men who
practically determine the cost of
running the government. Here is
what Dawes has to say about
these men:
