Should Know Some
Good Banker
Early in life the boy should
make the acquaintance of a
good banker. He should have
a saving account even when he
is saving his nickels and dimes,
if he chows thrift and honest
the banker will become his
friend. A& the boy grows old
and his account grows larger,
the banker will be very helpful
as an adviser in his first busi-
ness ventures. The banker can
help him as no other man can.

For County Treasurer.
R. L. Alexander authorizes the
FOri'UK DECI SIONS.
It is not uncommon for people to i
attribute their ailments to the least
important rather than the more im-
portant cause, and so fail to get the
best benefits of hygiene, says a bul-
letin of the state department Many 6U,bject ^ the h^,
people bemoan the fact that they sat mar in August l!i 1 fi
in a draft, and, therefore "caught
cold." When what they most needed R M Scou auUlonzes the announce-
was not to keep out of a draft out nK>nt of hig &andidaey for Lhe (rffice 0|
News-Herald to announce his candi-
dacy for treasurer of Pottawatomie
to keep in such condition that drafts
would do them good, not harm.
Benjamin Franklin. a century ago,
believed what we now know to be
true, "That people who live in the
forest, in open bams, or with open
windows do not catch cold, and that
the disease called 'a cold,' is gener-
ally caused by impure air, lack, of
exercise or overeating."
Most people who are overworked,
ate, more properly speaking, simply
the victims of bad air, b.id diet
.poisons or worry. They believo that
because they are tired it must be
work that is hurting them. The man
who breaks down in mickdle life com
monly imagines that he has ruined
his health by overwork. The col-
lege girl thinks she has ruined her
health by study. They are undoubt-
edly working beyond their working
capacity; but their working capacity
is only a fraction of what it would
be if they took exercise, were not
constipated, did not eat too much,
adjured alcohol, or ceased to worry
continually.

A cerrcsjiondent of the Youth's Com
pnnion, a son of Alfred Tail, whose
very Important share in making the
telegraph practically successful ha.s
not been generally recognised, writes
to say that the very first message to
pass over electrically charged wires
was spnt early In 1838, when the new
Invention was exhibited first at Alor-
rlstown. in New Jersey, where Vail
lived, and later In New York.
| On Jan. 11 at the Speedwell Iron
works in Morristown a party of Inter
entiMl friends met to see the telegraph
tried.
"It was In the upper room of the old
factory building," wrote Vail In his
Journal. "A wire was hung round the
room two miles In length. At one end
of the wire was a battery; at the other
was a small fravve, on which was a
sheet of writing paper. The battery
communicated the t«utents of a note
written by one of the ladles prriinn
through the wire by means of spaces |
and lines, which Professor Morse trana
iated Into English. At that time the
registering machine printed signs that
Stood for the ten numerical digits, and
these numbers were translated Into
words by means of a bulky dictionary
compiled by Professor Morse, In which
each word was represented by a combl
nation of figures."
By Jan. 24 of that year, however,
when the Invention was shown in New
York, the dots and dashes were ar-
ranged to signify letters, according to
a plan of Vall's, and the cumbrous dic-
tionary was discarded.
The first message sent that day, ac-
cording to Vail, was, "Attention the
universe, by kingdoms right wheel!'*
The original record Is now at the
Smithsonian Institution in Washington.
Each character has under it the corre-
sponding letter written In pencil by Al-
fred Vail. It was five years before
money enough could be got to show the
telegraph on a really large scale, and
during all those years Vail was active
in Improving the telegraphic Instru-
ment as a means both of sending and
of recording messages. Almost all the
essential parts of the Instrument In use
today are the result of Vall's unusual
mechanical Ingenuity.

One of the objections often trumped Au«ust 1st.
up is that the practice of hygiene
costs too much—that it can only be
a luxury of the rich. There are few
people so poor that they cannot buy

In fact, hygiene is one of the few
precious gifts which can be had al-

WRITTEN IN. GOLD.
Codex Aureus, the Most Wonderful of
All Prized Bibles.
You are wont to think of the Bible
• s the King James version, with which
you have been familiar from your
childhood. Do you know what the
bibliophile regards as the most won
derful Bible in the world?
It is known as the Codex Aureus, or
golden codex, because the lettering Is
all laid on the parchment In pure
gold, it Is of value for a totally differ-
ent reason, however, it Is written in
the Gothic tongue, and a notation on
it which l ears the date 840 A. D.
calls it an ancient manuscript, even at
that time. It consists of large por-
tions of the four gospels and is of the
greatest value to scholars because it j
has preserved so much of that long
dead language.
A much more spectacular copy of the
Scriptures is the one that Is known as
the "devil's Bible." one of the famous
things to see in the city of Stockholm.

the Royal library, and It Is a remark

Its origin Is enshrouded In traditions,
no two of which agree in the least. It
was brought to Sweden from a con-
vent In Bohemia as a part of the loot
after the thirty years' war and was
probably the life work of dozens of
consecrated monks. It is not on ordi-
nary parchment, but the lettering was
applied on the secretly treated skins
of 300 asses, and the process of treat-
ing the skins Is a lost art. The front Is-

Raiting the Sons.
No mother raises her boy to be a sol
dier or a tanner or a salesman or an
electrician. The utmost she can achieve
(with the neglected father's help) Is to
raise her boy to be a man. and when
he has reached man's estate he must
do what his manhood authorizes. No
other course Is open to him. He is the
captain of his soul and must answer
to Ood and Hie state for the fulfillment
of his duties as a human being and as
a citizen. —Woman's Home Companion
Facts About the Pig.
Teachers, says a British weekly, of
ten ask their classes to write an ac
count of their holidays or to describe
something that they have seen. One
youngster chose the pig.
"Pigs." he wrote, "are very dirty and
will eat anything but rhubarb. It has
little, If any. ambition for Itself."
