Rudyard Kipling has acquired a fund of words that gives him invar- iably the right word in the right place; Conan Doyle’s powerful de- seriptive style is merely a structure of words rightly understood and rightly applied, and each of these Englishmen receive from 50 cents to $1 a word every time he sells an article. Rufus Choate, the most successful jury advocate of his time, refused to enter the court room until he had found a new word for use in - that day’s speech. Senator Ingalls, the most powerful orator of the Fiftieth Congress, when asked how he ac- quired his wonderful command of language replied: - “For years I have made a practice of searching the dictionary for words that are new to me, and then using them in conversation and public speaking.” The opportunity of which these men have taken advantage is open to you. Compare your limited success with your limited vocabulary'and you may see your failures in a new light, and realize why you do not have the same chance as the man with the more fluent speech and apt way of expressing his thoughts. - If you are hampered by a limited library, get busy and clip coupons for the New Websterian 1912 Dic- tionary, Illustrated.

ONE REASON WHY CHILDREN DI% So close is the present day connec- tion between the city and country, that the habits of cleanliness of farm- ers, especially those who sell milk, has a close relation to the number of deaths of young children. July, Aug- ust and September are the months when the greatest number of small children die of intestinal diseases. It has been found that these same months are the ones in which milk All meetings next Sunday will be held at the Spur 106 school house.

NYMORE LOCALS. - The Fourth of July celebration at Nymore proved a great success. No one was hurt, and there were no ac- cidents. The first thing on the program was the parade which started at 10 a. m. The parade consisted of the band, several floats, the firemen, members of the Village Council, and seventeen head of horses, ridden by the mill employees. Leona Alton drove a team of dogs. George Voltz rode a cow and caused great laughter among the on-lookers. Mrs. McQue and Miss Lillie Reinke were the chief dress makers of the day. At the exercises the young ladies of Nymore took part by singing several patriotic songs. Mrs. T. J. Martin read the Declaration of Independence. Mr. T. J. Martin delivered a short ad- dress. He was followed by a brief talk by the mayor, John Olson. The Solway band furnished the music for the day. B The amusements in the afternoon were the races which were as fol- lows: g 100 yard dash, won by Maurice Bentley; second, Harvey Supry. 3-legged race, won by Melvin Lar- son and Frank Smith. Sack race, Pete LeMarch. Ladies’ race, Ethel Krog. Potato race, John Reinke. Fat man’s race, C. Anderson. Girls’ race, Roseeta Dowling. Horse race, Rete Wold. Tug-0-War, fire department. Boys’ foot race, Arthur Johnson. Directly after the races dancing began in the bowery. Tuesday in Mr. and Mrs. Henry Nye returned contains the largest number of bae- teria, the high point in both cases being August. The | bacteria in milk which a Erown a grown person may drink and never know it often causes the death of children. The bacteria cannot be seen, and unless attention has been called to it, the farmer does not know how they get in the milk. But no milk is absolutely free from these germs, and they grow with marvelous rapidity, especially if the milk is warm. This is why milk should be cooled and kept cool after it comes from the cow, and of course great care should be taken to prevent dirt of any sort on the cow or around the milk pail. No one wants to be even the unconscious cause of the death of a child.—State Board of Health Talk. Blackbirds’ Courage. At Herlot Gardens, & new and pretty suburb of Burntisland, a cat upon a garden wall was about to pounce upon a female blackbird sitting on her nest of eggs, When her mate, which was on the watch, sounded the alarm. Acting together, both set upon the cat with a vigor that hustled it off the wall into a neighboring garden. The birds pursued it along: the path, keep- Ing at close quarters till 1t escaped under cover. Vicfory was complete, and the enemy has not appreached the olace since.—London Globe, £ —_— Tallest Treo In the World, The tallest tree in the world is the Australian eucalyptus, reaching a total altitude of 480 feet. The biggest are the mammoth trees of California, some of which are 376 to 876 feet in helght and 108 feet in circumference at the base. From measurements of the rings it is believed that some of these trees are from 2,000 to 2,500 years old. The oldest tree in the world 1s said to be on the island of Kos, off the coast of Asla Minor. It is several thousand years old, but just how many no one bas dared to say. The tree is carefully preserved by a wall of masonry around It, and the trunk is 80 feet in_circum- ference.
