DON’T KILL PAIN WITH DRUGS. Saareh Foe l Cass# or>d Hovo That Properly Treated. Of all the sentinel* that watch to give warning that something within our bodies has gone wrong, pain is the most assiduous, although its im portance is frequently overlooked by physicians as well as laymen. Pain is simply an expression of re bellion against objectionable stim uli; therefore, however desirable it may be to get rid of, it is far more important to find and cure its CBUBC. The old time family doctor’* first thought when called to a patient in pain was to smother it by means of powerful drugs. This was some times useful in tiding a patient over a short illness, which was bound to right itself, but it was worse than useless in chronic uilment because it substituted for the malady in question a far worse disease—name ly, the opium habit. It was exactly as though a railroad inspector on finding a red lantern on the track should throw a coat over it and go on his way. The patient was satis fied when the pain was lulled, but in this an important danger signal was disregarded and nature’s call for permanent relief remained unan swered. In appendicitis, for instance, it used to be the custom to “kill pain” by administering large doses of morphine. We now know that this dulls the patient’s senses to a de gree which makes diagnosis of peri tonitis or other complications im possible and that a life may be lost because one of the most important symptoms is masked by drugs. It is interesting also to note how pain in appendicitis sets up a reflex ac tion of tho abdominal muscles. The muscles become hard and “bonrdy,” nature attempting to hold the ap pendix as if in a splint so that fur ther injury limy be impossible and conditions favorable to repair may obtain.—New York World. Kaffir Swimming Feats. Tbe Kaffirs are great swimmers. They can do things in tho wuter which other folk would look upon with astonishment. For example, a Kaffir boy can ford a stream shoulder high, running as swiftly as if shot from a torrent. Tbe way they acomplish the feat is thus: Just before entering the water they got a huge stone, sometimes as heavy ns themselves, and with the help of a companion place it upon tho head. A weight like this gives the boy balance, and he can kocp his footing against the heaviest stream. If he were to drop tho stone be would be so light that the water would sweep him off his feet. And this is just one of tho Kaffir tricks against tide and flood.—Lon don Standard. Tho Curs. There was a suburban lady whose house one summer was quite over run with moths. A tramp told her that in return for a square meal he would give her an infallible moth cure. She set a square meal beforo the tramp, lie devoured it, then said: “All ye need to do, ma’am, is to hang yer moth filled clothes and carpets and things on a line and beat ’em with a stick. Goodby to yer moths then.” “Will that kill them?” asked the lady. “Yes, if ye hit ’em,” said the t ramp. A Polished Diplomat. “Did you see anything that par ticularly struck your fancy when you were looking around the furni ture shops todwy?’’ asked u young husband of his bride on her return from a tour of furniture inspec tion. “Yes,” she replied, “1 saw some thing exceedingly pretty in look ing glasses.” “1 have no doubt you did,” he observed, “if you looked into them ” An the halo of a calm, sweet peace rests upon that home. Tha Magic Whirlpool. Fill a glass tumbler with water, throw upon its surface a few frag ments or thin shavings of camphor nnd they will begin to move and ac quire a motion both progressive and rotary, which will continue for a considerable time. If the water la* touched by any greasy substance tin floating particles will dart back and, as if by a stroke of magic, be in stantly deprived of their motion and vivacity. His Men Trick. Wi !e— Whut’a the trouble be tween \oa and Green? Brown Oh, there’s no trouble, only he refuses to speak to me Claims I did him a mean trick about a year ago. White —How’s that?

The man fiom th' 1 city wishing to explain the joys of metropolitan life, said: “we have certainly been having un the last few days. Thuisday we autotd to the country dab, and golled until dark, then trol lied back to town and danced until morning.” The country cousin was not to be stumped in thele st, so began telling of some of the pleasures of the simple life: ‘We have had pretty good times here, too. One day we buggied out to Uuckle Ned’s and went out to the back lot, where we baseballed all t.iat afternoon. In the evening we sneaked lip into the attic and pokered until morning.” A sturdy old farmer who was listen ing, not to la* outdone, took up the convei.Nation at this point and said: ‘I was having some fun about this time myself. I muled to the corutield and gee hawed un til sundown. Then I suj pored until datk, and piped until 9 o’clock after which 1 tiedstaded until the clock fived, after which I bn akfasted until it was time to i>o rnnling again.

And looking over onr list of delinquent subscribers makes ns rise to inquire what the doctors use to bring their twilight sleepers out of the trancet Send us the tormutar, for there are a few sub jects on that list whom we like to awaken.
