The Ideal Meal.
The id?al meal consists of bread,
butter and cheese, according to Dr.
J. E. Squire, who delivered a lecture
to the British National Health Society.
"These foods," he said, "contain all
the elements necessary for the proper
working of the body, and thus form a
complete meal."
Cattle Raised for Their Hides.
Galloway cattle are being raised In
Alaska, their hides being considered
equal to bearskins for beauty and
service.
Full Beards for Farmers.
The protection of farmers and others
who are exposed to the heat a great
deal 1b a serious and difficult matter.
Cancer is on the Increase, and farmers
furnish a large portion of the cases,
many of them being due to the direct
effects of sunlight on the face and
hands. A full beard for the farmer
is most desirable for his protection.—

pathy.
Other Folk's Joy.
We should be churlish creatures it
we could have no joy in our fellow-
mortal's joy, unices it were in agree-
ment with our theory of righteous dis-
tribution of our highest ideal of hu-
man good; what sour corners our
mouth would get—our eyes, what
frozen glances! and all the while our
possessions and desires would not ex-
actly adjust themselves to our ideal.—
peorge Eliot.
Real Pathos.
There is nothing so pathetic as the
efforts of a dull mind to produce
bright speech.

GOLD MEDAL TO BE GIVEN SEAT
TLE, WASH., DRIVER FOR
ACT OF HEROISM.
ANIMALS THROWN INTO WATER
Precipitated Into Bay by Collapse of
Trestle, Teamster Goes in After
Them and Cuts Away Har-
ness—Hero Is Modest.
Seal lie, Wash.—In recognition of
the bravery of John Patterson, a
driver who risked his life to save his
horses which had been precipitated
into the bay by the collapse of a tres-
tle at Elliott avenue and Stone street,
the King county humane society has
decided to present to Patterson a gold
medal, specially designed by the so-
ciety to reward extraordinary acts of
kindness to or bravery in behalf of
dumb animals. At a meeting of the
society the members decided that Pat-
terson, by placing his own life in jeop-
ardy to save his horses, had won the
medal, which will be the first to be
awarded by the King county society.
Patterson, when he was informed
that the humane society had deter-
mined to prgsent him with a medal
for bravery, said that he had done
nothing more than any other J.i".
would have done under the same cir-
cumstances, and said that he wou'.d
much rather see the money Expended
in the purchase of a new suit of
clothes or a dress and shoes for some
poor child. He said that when he saw
his horses in the water, he thought
only of freeing them from their har-
ness that they might have a chance
for their lives.
"Why should I get a medal?" asked
Patterson, "for doing just what any
other man with red blood in his veins
would do under the same circum-
stances? As for risking my life, there
was nothing to that, for I have been
able to swim all my life, and it was
not likely that I would have been
drowned unless one of the horses had
happened to kick me. As for that
But Somehow Mrs. Newlywed Couldn't j
See the Point.
A young friend of mine, a jolly, con- I
Vlvlal sort of a chap, got married re-
cently, and at the end of the first
week, upon receiving his salary oi J20,
he well home, gave his wife J18, and
kept tvto for himself.
Of course, she thought that was love-
ly, but to her astonishment at the
end of (ho second week he handed her
only two dollars, keeping $20 for him- j
(self.
"Now, see here, John," she said, in-
dignantly, "how do you suppose I am
going to manage on two dollars a
week ?"
"I don't know, I am sure, my
dear," he answered, sweetly. "I had
a terrible time of it last week, my-
self."
Gee, but wasn't he the mean old
thing!—Seattle Argus.
EXPERT ADVICE.
Butler—Pardon this interruption,
but there is a deputation of unem-
ployed waiting for you at the door.
His Excellency—Tell the people (o
go home quietly. (Drains a glass of
champagne.) People in this world can
get on very well without work—at
least I find it so.
COVERED WITH HIVES.

Disease Cured by Cuticura.
"My six year old daughter had the
dreadful disease called hives for two
months. She became affected by play-
ing with children who had it. Hy
scratching she caused targe sores
which were Irritating. Her body yas
a complete sore but it was worse on
her arms and back. We employed t«
physician who left medicine but it did
not help her and I tried sev^hil rerne- J
dies but without snail. Seeing the j
Cuticura Remedies advertised, 1*1
thought I would try them. I gave her |
a hot bath dally with Cuticura Soap
and anointed her body with Cuticura i
Ointment. The first treatment re-
lieved the itching and in a short time
the disease disappeared. Mrs. George

Fiery Courtesy.
In a Canadian town a feu days ago
a dry goods firm was burned out in
the morning. In the afternoon a com-
peting firm inserted the following ad-
vertisement in a local paper:
"We desire to extend Our sympathy
to our respected competitors in their
loss by fire and to express the hope
that their affairs may soon be so ad-
justed as to enable them to continue
business without undue loss of time."
One of the Important Duties of Physicians and
the Well-informed of the World
is to learn ns to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufactur-
ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to
the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it i:; well
known to physicians and the \\ell-Informed generally that the California. Fig Syrup
Co., by reason of its correct methods and ix rfect equipment and the ethical character of
its product,has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the
Company has bccome a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.
TRUTH AND QUALITY
appeal to the Well-informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc-
cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would
enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right
living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour
of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may bo made to contribute
to that end and the use of medicines dis|>ensed with generally to great advantage, but
as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the
proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
theappoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-informed,because
of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac-
ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
This valuable remedy has l>een long and favorably known under the name of—
Syrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Well-informed of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna—as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial effects always
note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company — California Fig Syrup Co.—
plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for —Syrup of
Figs—or by the full name—Syrup of Figs anil Elixir of Senna—as—Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna — is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. and the heretofore known by the name — Syrup of Figs;—which has given
satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout
tlft United States, in original packages of one sbe only, the regular price of which
is fifty cents per bottle.
Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Companv, filed with the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, 1). C., that the remedy is not adulterated or
misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906.

HATS
"I Cut Them Clear of the Harness."
I never thought anything about It,tor
I was thinking of getting the team
loose, so ihat they would have a
chance to get ashore.
"1 have been handling horses all my
life, and naturally I like them, and
they like me. My father was a black
smith in Iowa and I began to ride
and drive horses when I was a boy.
and have been working with them ever1
since. There is 110 better friend lo a
man than a good horse or a good dog,
and when I saw the team in the water
after the bridge went down it was
just as if some of my friends were
down there. I couldn't leave them
there to drown, all tangled in the
harness, so I just naturally went down
again to cut them loose.
"I was confused in a few minutes
arter the wagon went through the
bridge or I would have saved myself
the trouble of climbing up 011 the
bridge and then climbing down again,
but at first all I thought of was to get
help. After I got clear I saw that the
horses would not last long If I left
them tangled up with the wagon, so I
started in to cut .them clear of the
harness. As far as the medal is con-
cerned there is a man who helped me
get the team loose Ihat deserves a re
ward more lhan I do, for he came
down in the water and worked like a
slave helping me get the team Tree and
he had no Interest in the horses al
all. 1 don'l know his name.
"There was one funny thing thai
happened when the team was down in
the water. One of the horses was a
crabbed, fractious animal, thai was al
ways considered ugly around the
barn, and yet when I was working tr
get him free he whs as quiet uno
gentle as a lamb. He seemed lo know
that I was trying to give him a chanct
for his life, aud when I got him cleat
of the harness he followed me like
dog. right up on shore.
"II seemed for a while that I wouU:
lie unable lo get old Buck, one of tlir
best borstal In the barn, clear of thf
tangle, for one of his legs was fast In
llie harness. I called for a gun. fm
I wouldn't leave him there to drown,
but after It was passed down to me
I tho'lght I would make one more try
to get him loose, and I succeeded that
time, so 1 didn't have to shoot him
Sifter all."

Judge Ho«r and Gen. Dutlej were
opponents in a «ise of a new trial. Gen.
Butler quoted: "Eye for eye, skin for

which Judge Hoar replied: "Yes, the
devil quoted that once before In a mo-
tion for a new trial."

In a Farmer's Mutual Company a few day's labor and a cash
Investment of about $25. per subscriber, will purchase all material
anil build an absolutely standard system.
A Rural Telephone Is an investment, not an expense. The
Jejeplionc w hich enables you to sell ten bales of cotton at cent per
pound more than the traveling buyer' offers you, has paid for its en-
tire cost. J f yon have, some hay down all ready to go in, it is worth
