Iona Life for a House Fern.

In the living room Of an Oxfordshira
(England) country house is q
maidenhair fern that has just cele-
brated it's ffty-sixth birthday. 1t is
now some two feet across and very
fine. fresh and young in complexion
A year or two ago 1t seemed to be
falling into the sere and yellow leaf
and was threatened with It's first Ill
ness But after consulting with q
local specialist the owner (who has
tended her plant herself for Sc years)
gave it a dose of cod liver oil. The
BROWNIES that threatened to invade
the whole plant soon disappeared un-
der the treatment. and it Is now as
vigorous and as green as ever. This
maidenhair has, therefore, not only
lived Sc years, but is still in the
stage Of active growth and develop.

ADRIAN ONLY ENGLISH POPE
Is Said to Have Been Elevated 10
High Office Contrary to His
Own lncIlnatons.

Pope Adrian " was by birth an
Engishman, and the only one Of that
nation who ever occupied the papal

His merits soon became known to
Pope III, who made him cardinal
bishop Of Abba in 1146, and sent him
two years later as his legate to Den
mark and Norway, where he convert
ed many Inhabitants to Christianity.
Soon after his return to Rome Mich
olas was unanimously chosen pope
against his own inclination, in No
vember, 1854 Henry II of England,

Must knen on aMakinn Good.m

Life is an everlasting struggle.
Nothing but the keenest attention to
its great problems will bring lasting
success. There are many that gain
temporary attention and they think
they have made a name for them
selves. The fact is there are thou
sands Of others with just as much
head striving for a place in the sun.
They are watching every loophole for
an opportunity. Often the fellow who
starts right with a small lead can
achieve almost anything he sets out
TO- SO folks have learned to take ad-
vantage of everything that turns up
or that they can turn up. That means
you are never safe in resting on past
laurels. It's case Of making good
eternally or falling down before you
have finished your course.

Air Mail Stamina

Over forty varieties of specially de-
signed postage stamps for air mails
have already been published, much to
the joy of the philatelists. Italy has
the credit for the first air stamp which
was issued by the Italian postal au-
thorities as long ago as 1917. The
United States Canada, Newfoundland,
Sweden. Spain, Switzerland. Esthonia,
Colombia and the Belgian Congo have
all considered it desirable to issue spe-
cial stamps TO their peoples. Tunis
has even produced a second contribu-
ton. Needless to mention, Germany
and Hungary were early in the field,
rightly considering it an excellent
means of educating the public in the
practical side of aviation.

protested" Il was not stealing, I was

1T makes no difference, retorted
the man, you were breaking the law,
you should have gone to the Legisla-

you began practicing in the State"
Let us consider carefully what is it

How can one get the Legislature to

prove the merits of chiropractic by
educating the people to its value and
create demand for such legislation.

We are serving suffering humanity as

we are doing no wrong even though

Ordinarily an electric welder must
remove his helmet that he may better
see the finer details of his work. The
main Improvement which a new helmet
has over the old masks is the mounting
of the window, so that the protective

of the worker and he can obtain a bet

falls back into place when he is ready
to go ahead with the welding. This

Prickly Pear Worries Australians.

The kind of cactus which we called
the 'prickly pear" has become a first
class nuisance in Australia. 1t grows
very fast, spreads with great rapidity
and forms masses of vegetation 50
dense that the clearing of ground once
occupied by the plant is accomplished
with utmost difficulty. Incidentally
it renders the land unavailable for
agricultural purposes.
In response to urgent request, our
government is sending to Australia,

prickly pear. Hope is entertained that
they may do enough damage to dis

Taxes, than which nothing save
death is surer, are giving property
holders of all classes much to think
about. Increases on all sides have
stirred up the owners of taxable prop

All the State papers are taking cracks
at assessment boosts and new raise in

The State, county, Government and

nothing between them all. The taxes
are forcibly brought to mind by an old

offered in the Colorado House of Rep
