BERKSHIRE'S WILD LIFE

wildcats ravaging the Berkshires"
is the yarn that thrills, But to the
landlords of one of the country's de-
lightful pleasure regions the story is
not pleasing. They fear it may be
the means of preventing timid men
and women from making the next out
ing season the greatest in it's history,
as it gives promise of being.
Did the annual fairy stories of fe-
rocious sea seppents ever reduce the
increasing number of summer bathers
in and about Atlantic City? Thrills
my dear sir, are what the average
summer sojourner seeks with an
avid spirit.
If the resort seekers in the Berk-
shires know what is good for them,
they will capture and carefully nur-
ture the wild" animals which are
said to be disporting themselves
without regard to lconventionalties,
that in due time when the snow dis
appears and clear skies and delight
full atmosphere supplant the wintry
gloom of the present they may be
released to their frolics when such
,wanderings are calculated to be the
most exciting and mysterious. =

too many fat sinecures. The govern

successfully than it's railroads, if that

Three states have made the expert

Nevada plant about $500 of printing
is done annually, and, to execute this
small amount, the superintendent and
his assistant get $500 in salaries /!
At a corresponding rate the public
printer at Washington would pocket
over 100000 a year! Rather looks
as if the Nevada plant was run for the
benefit of it's managers. California al
so has it's own 100000 printery, but
one governor shut it up for eighteen
months while another declared in his
message to the legislature that work
in it was costIier than by contract. 1t

to build a 100000 office in which to

Uric Acid Poisoning
(Ry DR.. N. c. Cook

A poison as dangerous as strychnin
is manufactured within our own
bodies, called uric acid. When it ac-
cumulates in the body and the kid
neys fail to carry it off, we suffer
from dull headache, sleeplessness,
muscular pains, lumbago, or it may
cause rheumatism or govt. The uric
acid can be seen in the cloudy sedi-
ment in the water - what is called
the 'brick-dust," noted on the sides
of the vessel containing it-after a
few hours standing. The water is
scant, high-colored, strongly acid, and
this should be danger sign, and if
not taken in time by cutting out the
meat, tea and alcohol, may end in
rheumatism or govt.

Dr. Pierce, OF the Surgical Institute
IN Buffalo, N. Y. Anuric (anti-uric

that had been growing all summer. They were of different sizes and shapes. After they were gathered and put into barrels. they were carried away into many homes where they fed men, wo- men and children. In few homes there was nothing else to eat at times. Everywhere they went, people were glad to see them What were they?
 The plants in the second field were gathered and the large leaves were dried. Some were made into small brown rolls and packed into boxes and labeled cigars, and others were pressed into evil smelling cakes or plugs.
 The small leaves and pieces of leaves were coursely ground and pressed into small tubes of white paper. These were put in boxes and labeled, ciga- rettes. The cigars and cigarettes and plugs went into many homes, but they fed no one, and made no one any health fer or better for their use. On the con trary, it sometimes happened that the money spent for the leaves of this plant was needed to buy food and clothing for the family. Who can tell the names of the plants in the two fields?
