said Bunny. wiggIing his left hind

"Treading for CLAIMS is the only
way to get them when you haven't

an air Of authority.

Bobby.
"No. responded Bunny, ''but

that sthe little blood vessels.
called ''capillaries,' are dilated
and accommodate a larger vol.
ume Of blood. AS there is only
about 90 much blood in your body.
q red surface means that a larger
proportion Of that blood has been
attracted from the deeper parts
to the skin.
But IL you stay in a hot bath
long enough, your skin viii be
blanched and yhriveled. This
means that the heat, by it's Sec
ondary effect. has contracted the
capillaries and has driven the ex.
cess of blood from the surface
to the interior.
The cold bath, especially when
followed by friction. reverses this
performance by blanching the
skin first and reddsnlng it after
ward.
In both the hot bath and the
cold bath, after a little while,
say one-half hour, tho circulation
regains its normal balance Of
equal distribution, according to
the requirements Of each part Of
the body.
Now, when you eat a meal,
you set to working not only your
stomach, but your intestines and
a lot of other organs, each Of
which has something to do with
the digestion Of food and the alb
sorption Of it's nutritive qualities.
While the activity is in prog
ress, which occurs about three
times day, more blood is re.
quired by the stomach, intes-
tines and other organs than
during the periods between meals.
This extraordinary demand for
an excess Of blood in the internal
organs lasts from an hour to
four hours, according to the char.
acter Of the food taken.
Now you see why it is that
your meals and your baths ought
not to be taken too close to-
gether.
You can see why, under the
half-hour limit for restoration Of
the blood-distribution. you may
safely take a bath that long be-
fore a meal, but you can also
see why you ought not to take
a bath for q much longer period
after a meal.

7-piece Orchestra.

Highways on early day turnpikes
built in that state more than a
hundred years ago and as late as
1883 by private companies who took
tolls from every user according TO
his vehicle and load.
"Pay-as-you-use" highways-the
old toll roads were popular and for
many years carried the bulk Of veh-
icle, traffic in the eastern states.
The turn pike as distinguished from
other roads Of the same period were
those at which gates were placed ut
intervals to bar the progress Of the
thaveler until a toll was paid which
gave him the privilege Of using the
road. Only after $500 or more had
been spent on the road could any
tolls be taken at the gates, and then
the users paid the following rates
among others:
Every ten sheep or hogs, 1c
mile.
Every ten cattle, &c a mile.
Every horse and rider or led
horse, lie a mile.
Every sulky, chair. or chaise with
one horse and two wheels, 1 hc
mile.
Every chariot, coach, stage, wagon
or phaeton, with two horses, four
wheels, &c mile.
For every carriage of pleasure the
like sum according to the number
of wheels and horses on same.
Charles NJ. Babcock, state high
way commissioner, applied the low
lest toll rate Of lie a mile to one Of
the heavily travelled Minnesota trunk
routes. Averaging 1000 vehicles
day, it would mean SO a mile daily
Or $4,000 for ESQ days a year and
on $50 miles the total would be
$325, 900 annually. The cost Of 150
miles gravel road would be $167 $50
year and of pavement STAT $50
annually-including i.terest on the
investment, depreciation and upkeep.
So the luxury" of a pavement
would net the owners $77,350
year on such road, besides afford
ing the users a saving Of nearly
100000 a year in car running ex-
pense due to the better roads, plus
the gain in comfort and cdnven-
fence.
The reader may find IL interesting
to figure on his own estimates the
tolls he would have had to pay un-
der the old plan and his profits from
the better road Of today, the bull
letin suggests.

In the presence of large gath
ering of the members of the Pres
byterian Parish and interested citi-
zens of Ely the corner stone of the
new church edifce was laid Sunday
morning, August 81. at 1890.
The ceremony itself consisted of
appropriate hymns sung by the audi

Mr.. B. o.. Strachan representing the
Board of Elders read a history of
the church since its founding in
1889 to the present triumphant
occasion. Mr.. Kenneth Duncan,
church treasurer, representing the
Board of Deacons, then placed in
the copper box designed for tina:
