An exchange publishes the following: Twenty years ago last Thanksgiving day a bear killed the three year old baby of Edward Baum, of Ridgeway. Every Thanksgiving day since that time Baum has shouldered his gun. gone into the woods and he has never returned without bringing with him a dead bear. Over the grave of his dead baby Baum swore that he would kill a bear each Thanks giving day. This was twenty j years ago and he has never once broken his vow. Sometimes he had to go far into the mountains and once he journeyed fifty miles from his borne, but he found the bear and killed it.

Keep on the shady side of the street. Avoid violent exertion just after eat- Ing. J|Do not sprinkle the lawn until after sunset. Don't talk politics or worry about the heat. Do not stop in the sun on the street corners to talk. Do not stop at every soda fountain and bolt iced drinks. Avoid worry. If you have notes com ing due let them go to protest. Take alcoholic stimulants in very mod erate quantities or not at all. Carry a cabbage leaf and a fresh ten dollar bill in the crown of your hat. A light colored umbrella with a pea green lining is best to keep off the sun. If you go in swiming don't do so at noon. Wear low shoes, as they allow a circu lation of air around the ankles, which tends to cool the blood. A little vaseline rubbed on the eye brows will keep the prespiration from running into,your eyes. Wear a shirt of soft material, with plenty of room in the neck and discard the vest. NATURE'S Compound is gaining in favor every day-. I!. P. Stewart.
