PARISIANS OPPOSED ITO
 TANK TRAFFIC SYSTEM

Paris, July 17-Should the great cities of the world grow alike or each try to keep it's individuality?
 Upon the answer to that question will be based the decision or the city of Paris whether to adopt the red- sreen-white light system of traffic New York.
 Opposition to the acceptance of proposal made by pr. John A. liar riss, designer of the Fifth avenue signals, to put such lights along the Avenue de rOpera is based upon the feeling that they will give visitors to Paris a stereotyped impression - that Americans will forget the beauty of the broad avenue and say, Isn't that just like Fifth avenue?'' This would hurt the pride of the French.

RAT BITTEN BY RATHER KILLS
 IT AND LIVES
Rodent and Snake Fight in Pit While Farmers Watch Victor Rewarded.

Rochester. N. r., July 1C.-Char1es- Johnson, a farmer living south of Clyde, caught ratt1esnake and housed it in a box. He had planned to bring the snake to Rochester and turn it over to Pete Gruber. better known as 'Ratt1esnake Pete.'
 A rat of enormous size ventured in to one of Johnson's steel traps The rodent was so la!ae that he could not by his front legs.
 Rat Fights Snake.
 Astonished at the size of the rat, farmer Johnson thought a little sport eral farmer friends, Johnson managed to drop the rat into a potato pit and then shook the box holding the rat tier over it. The snake soon fell into the pit and coiled up in a corner. It was expected that the snake would make short work of the rat.
 For few minutes nothing happen ed, both snake and rat taking oppo- site corners and cycling each other very carefully. Suddenly the snake began an attack. With lightning swiftness it shot out it's head, caught the rat unawares and sank it's fangs ed with pain and rage and actually tore itself loose in a desperate strug- gle in which both rat and rattler roll- ed over the floor of the pit. Rodent Chokes Reptile. 1 Next the rat sprang at the snake. 1 As the snake squirmed the rat 1eaped into the air and caught the snake back of its head, tearing the flesh and inflicting a deep wound with it's teeth. The energy of the rats at tack apparently puzzled the snake. (which was bitten time and again. Fi- nally the rat secured a firm hold on the snake directly under its head and 1 hung on until the serpert was fairly hoked to death.
 1 The farmers covered the pit with cordwood and left rat and dead snake alone overnight. The rat was found i to be alive and active in the morn hing. Much surprise was expressed that the rat was alive, as it was be- 1ieved the snakes poison would have ended the rats life in the night John son decided that the rat had earned right to live Accordingly the TO- dent was enticed into a box contain | ing a quantity of dry bread and cheese From the farm it was carried to the Montezuma swamp a. mile away, and given It's liberty.

All.Evil Has Some
 Good, Says MT. Kearns

Do evils have any vaue?'' There is no evil which does not make for good" Rev. Hal T. Kearns, pastor Of ths First Universalist church, said in answer to his own question during the course of his sermon on 'tThe Pur- pose of Evils yesterday.
 What is the purpose of evil ?'' The answer is not far to seek. In word it is here that we may struggle against it and grow strong in the struggle. God knew what he was do- ing when He made His physical world such that we would have no struggle to maintain our existence. He knew that hardship is the best thing in the world to make men, He knew that the road of suffering isNthe only sure way to good character. Remember life was not mean to be easy, but heroic"

SAYS CALOMEL
 SALWATES AND
 L00SENS TEETH
The Very Next Dose of This 'Treacherous Drug May
 Start Trouble.

You know what calomel is. It's mer- cury; quicksilver. Calomel is danger ous. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sickening you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system.
 If you feel bilious, headachy, consti- pated and all knocked out,- just go to your druggist and get bottle of Dod- sons Liver Tone for few cents which is harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and If it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money.
 Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a days work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens you right up and you feel great. No salts necessary. Give 1t to the children because 1t is perfectly harmless and can not salivate.-Advertisement.
