A dramatic writer of San Francisco tells tb<> following amusing story of Patti’s last visit to tlu* Pacific coast. He was nt the station with many others to meet the great diva whin she ar rived. “The diva ste: ] ed from the train,’’ said the San IL ineisean, “and after inhaling a lung : I < f fog remarked: *Oh, this is heat - I All my troubles are paid for. Thank heaven, I breathe the air of San Francisco once again!’ This was nil very sweet in tl.e high priced canary bird, and the newspaper boys were all delighted. “However, it was only a short time before I went down to the train to meet Patti at Salt Lake City. She was de scending from her car, and as her feet touched the ground she exclaimed: ‘Thank heaven, I breathe the air of Salt Lake C : ty once more! All my trou bles are paid for. Oh, this is heaven!’ The newspaper boys were all delighted with her. “As fur myself, on both of these oc casions I was delighted also —with the diva’s lovely hypocrisy, that accursed sin which the poet tells us takes the best men in. I never thought Patti much of an actress, but I changed my mind in this respect after witnessing these two exhibitions.” Nothing in the way of “lovely hy pocrisy” can surprise anybody who has ever seen Patti on the concert stage. She rushes to the footlights, a vision of smiling radiance, eyes swimming with the moisture of overpowering joy and a look of pleading affection on her coun tenance, as if the present moment were the happiest of her life and as if she were consumed by an eager desire to embrace and kiss everybody in the au i ilience. And she does it all so naturally I and spontaneously that the majesty of | the assemblage is instantly “mashed” j and would cheerfully lynch anybody ! who would intimate that there was any I “acting” about it. Pacific Coast Drying Up- Ihe extension of explorations and observations in the region of country > west of the Rocky mountains tends in 1 many ways to develop and confirm the j proposition that a steadily progressive : aridity is slowly replacing former hu j mid climatic conditions. This change is manifest in various ways—most conspicuously in the decreasing vol ume of water in many of the.lakes and streams throughout the region, as shown by the existence of former I beach lines at higher levels, and in I the profound disturbances and modifi cations taking place in the native I Hora. The phenomena which follow the advance of arid'ty are not limited by altitude, for, while the desert condi I tions at low elevations exhibit them in their most intense aspect, (bey are also 'clearly traceable to the highest sum ! mils, where gradually dwindling glaciers and abnormally high eX’en I sious of .certain lowland types of forest show the general trei.d ~f the climatic ; change.—National Gee jraphical Mag azine. For Backache use Stu art's Gin and Buchu, Water Drinking- When it is r< me n.b . It' t tlie I body is made up very largely <>t water, lit will readily be understood In w- im* i portant to health is a constant supply of this fluid. Many [ t opb' have the idea that to drink water in. any amount beyond that which is actually neces sary to quench thirst is injurious, and ' acting on this belief they drink as lit* I tie as possible. The notion, however, is wide of the truth. Drinking freely !of pure water is a most efficacious means not only of pr serving health, but often of restoring it when failing. All the tissues of the body need wa ter, and w Her in abundance is neces sary also for the proper performance of every vital function. Cleanlinessof the tissues within the bod,, is as neces sary to health and comfort as cleanli ness of the skin, and water tends to ensure lhe one as truly us it does lhe other. These waste materials are fre quently poisonous, ami many a head ache, many rheumatic pi.insaud aches, many sleepless nights and listless days are due sorely to the circulation in the blood, oi deposit in the tissues, of these waste materials which cannot be got rid of because of an insufficient supply of water —Family Doctor.

REGARDLESS OF AGE The kidncvs ire responsiblb for more , ilckiießs, suffering, and deaths than any oth r organs of the body.
