RELIEF FOR HEAT SUFFERERS
English Savant Who Probably Knows
Offers Some Advice on the Problem
of Keeping Cool.
The obvious expedient of avoiding
exposure to the sun, "stimulating"
foods and drinks, and the use of dark
and heut-retuining garments is not
always sufficient to keep the human
body cool. In spite of these precautions,
many persons suffer from heat
langnor ("thermal debility"), to the
detriment of their health and efficiency.
It is nearly one hundred years since
the Silesiun peasant 1'riessnltz reintroduced
the curative use of cold. One
of his procedures was to immerse the
back of his head in a shallow vessel
of cold water.
We know now that external cold Is
a powerful stimulant to the nerve centers
at the base of the brain, which
govern the heart and breathing and
regulation of body heat. In hot summers
heat is insidiously piled up in
the tissues, and sometimes thermal
debility passes on to thermal fever or
"heat stroke."
Anybody may prove for himself the
refreshing coolness produced by bathIns
the nape of the neck and the spine
and the inner side of the arms with
lee-cold water. As regards the prevention
and cure of heat-stroke, the
experience of the troops In hot climates
has shown the same ellicacy of
cold when applied on a more extensive
scale.?From a Letter in the London
Times.
Saved by His Cuffs.
"There's superstition personified,"
said the tailor, as he nodded In the
- direction of an elderly man who was
- being fitted for a suit, "lie's so superstitious
that lie wears cuffs on the
trousers of his dress suit."
"What has his wearing cuffs on the
trousers of his dress suit got to do
with superstition?" the tailor was
^ asked.
"That man claims that cuffs on his '
trousers have saved him hundreds of
dollars during his life and he refuses
to go without them now. even in evening
clothes," the tailor retorted.
"Once he said he dropped a diamond j
ring somewhere and thought he had
lost it until he got home lliat night
and discovered it in the cuff of his
trousers. Another time lie lost a scarfP:
pin. which lie also later found in the
ES same place. After several other simile
, lar instances the old man came to be- '
lieve that cuffs were good tluck and
now, despite my pleadings, he Insists
I' on wearing them."
* . - Something
to
Think About
By F. A. WALKER
WITH YOUR CHILD.
LET us suppose you are a parent.
That you love your children and
are seriously concerned about
their future welfare.
They are average children, no doubt,
fond of play, never still unless asleep;
In mischief and out at every opportunity,
and seem bent upon filling your
life to the brim with ever-changing
smiles and tears.
But what of It? They are of your
own blood and bone.
Their tendencies in the main are Inherited.
Turn backward a moment
and reflect.
They are entitles of your Infant self,
in new bodies, with recently adjusted
brains and of keener vision than children
of a generation ago.
As the progress of the human race
is towards advancement you must expect
differences In temperaments,
ideals and modes of expression. Like
you, they are being swept forward
by the invisible force whirling planets
and holding in place the heavens
and the earth.
To you has been Intrusted their
Keeping.
The responsibility of parentage
must be accepted In the right spirt,
and when this shall have been done
the proper training of these newcomers
will become a pleasurable duty,
fairly easy of accomplishment.
Cultivate companionship by becoming
one of them In thought and act
Seek to be their best friend. These
things will bring you closer to them
and enable you better to understand
and correct faults and shortcomings.
As a friend you can be firm without
being severe.
You can lead without being suspected
and mold the new life to a life
of honor and beauty.
You can straighten the crooked
twig by doing It gently, not by a twist
or blow. Neglect It when It Is tender,
hope of transformation is gone.
Children are natural Imitators.
What their parents do and say children
do and say, and plus. They put
in something for good measure. So
be careful of your speech and deportment.
They are the latest edition and must
be read with searching eyes.
There's more In this latest edition
than you may suspect, put there by
a wise Creator for the development
and advancement of mankind, and It
depends entirely on the parents whether
It shall be received by the world
with censure or approval.

THE LAKE OF STARS.
WHEN all Is lovely on the lake,
No night-winds rudely pass,
Not even gentle breezes break
The water's perfect glass,
Afloat, ah>ne, from your canoe
Look down and you will see
Reflected there the sky of blue
And all Its canopy.
You will behold a thousand lights
f Now near that were afar,
For only thus on perfect nights
The luke receives the star,
Seen only thus when perfect peace
Is on the quiet tide,
When all the winds that wander cease
And earth Is satisfied.
But, if a breeze shall venture here,
Some tiny tempest blow,
Your lake of stars will disappear
And all be dark below.
They are not blotted from the skies
By just a moment's care ?
O ye discouraged, lift your eyes,
For stUl the stars are there 1

i' Common Errors in English and <
] How to Avoid Them <
"CHARACTER" AND "REPUTA
TION."
AVOID the common error of confounding
these two words, for
there Is a clear and sharp distinction
In their meunings. Your character
is what you are. In your moral
nature, your abilities, etc.; your reputation
is what your friends, your
neighbors, the world, thinks of you.
Your reputation may be ruined by a
raise accusalmu, uui your cnuracier
cannot be Injured by anyone but yourself.
Abbot says, "Character Is what a
person Is; reputation Is what he is
supposed to be. Chnracter is In himself,
reputation is in the minds of others.
Chnracter is injured by teinptntions
and wrongdoings; reputation by
slanders and libels. Character endures
through defamation in every form hut
perishes where tliere is a voluntary
transgression; reputation may last
through numerous tr .nsgressions, but
lie destroyed by a single, and even an
unfounded, accusation or aspiration."

VAST FORTUNE FOR MEN
WHO FIND PIRATE LOOT
Qold And Jewels Lie In Hidden Caves
And In Hulks Of Sunken Galleons
Beneath Ocean Billows.
There Is at least a billion dollars
lying around in various parts of the
world in gold and silver and jewels
waiting for the first comer to pick it
up. But don't get excited. You can't
pick it up. Thousands of treasureseekers
have tried and failed.
There is no secret about where this
enormous fortune is located. For example,
the Seaman's Journal prints a
list of treasures trove which includes
the Forentia, flag ship of the Spanish
Armada, sunk off the west coast of
Scotland with $15,000.000 in gold In
1588.
The Spanish galleons scuttled in
Vigo Bay to avoid capture by the English
in 1702 were loaded with gold,
Bilver- and Jewels valued at $120,000,000.
Benito Bonito, la3t of the
great pirates, planted $60,000,000,
looted from the west coast of South
America, on Cocos Island 300 miles off
Panama. Eighteen expeditions have
fitted out openly and many more
secretly to seek this treasure. Millions
are believed to have been buried
on the Bay Islands off Honduras by
Francois Olonois, the French freebooter.
Many More Listed
In addition to all the treasure sunk
by German submarines in the great
war, the Seaman's Journal lists the
following: On Alboran Island, a rock
in the Mediterranean, lies $5,000,000
in gold buried by a pirate crew of the
"Young Constitution," when cornered
by a British gunboat in 1831; the
"Black Prince," loaded with $3,000,000
in gold to pay the British soldiers, was
sunk by Russian gunfire at Sebastopol;
the East Indian "Grosvenor" went
down off St. John's Cape Colony with
$5,000,000 aboard.
On the island of Mauritius is buried
$150,000,000 in gold, silver and precious
stones, pirate loot from the
French and English ships which in
turn had looted India; and on a little
ieland in the Spanish Main lies $1,200,000
in gold hidden by the French
pirate, Latrobe, one hundred years
ago, and another treasure estimated
at $6,000,000 is buried near by, while
a pirate hoard of $5,000,000 lies on an
island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Seventy Turkish vessels sunk in the
famous fight of Navarino in October,
1827, by the Anglo-French-Russian fleet
carried $5,000,000. "Oom Paul" Kruger
had something like $4,000,000 when he
fled from South Africa. Some declare
it was lost in the wreck of tha "Zululand"
in Delagoa bay; others say it is
burled in the Transvaal mountains.
Lying 110 feet below the surface of
Lake Naomi are two galleys belonging
to the Roman emperors Tiberius and
Galigula, which contain gold, jewels
and art treasures worth at leaBt
$5,000,000.
Lost Spanish Gold
Three Spanish ships sunk by Admiral
Blake off Cadiz, Spain, hold
$5,000,000 in gold. The Spanish treasure
ships foundered in Santa Cruz bay,
Canary Islands, contained $10,000,000.
On West Indian islands lieB $5,000,000
burled by the daring Captain Kid, most
notorious of all pirates. The $2,000,000
hoard of Captain Melville, Australian
bushwhacker, is hidden in the bush
of Australia. The treasures and loot
of Attila the Hun, $50,000,000 in all,
lie buried somewhere under the River
Danube.
There can be no doubt that these
treasures exist But whether under
thirty fathoms of water or as dry as
an undertaker's eye, they are out of
reach. However, there is treasure
that can be picked up with little effort.
It is right at your hand; in fact, it is
part of your own pay. All you have
to do is save it by investing it in
Government SavingB Securities. The
hundred you can have by saving and
safe investment may not sound so interesting
as the million you cannot
touch, but it is a lot more useful. You
can get your hands on it
DAMS WILL PREVENT FLOODS
Catastrophe That Overwhelmed the
City of Pueblo Can Be Avoided
by Proper Action.
A disastrous flood occurs, cnusing
a loss of many human lives uud millions
of dollurs' worth of property.
What happens next? What precautions
are taken to prevent disaster?
Usually what happens is that the suffering
community courageously undertakes
the task of reconstruction. The
flood is called an "act of God," and
confidence is felt that there will be
no repetition of the calamity. But
the conditions that gave rise to the
disaster continue to exist, and such
being the case, there is no assurance
that it will not repeat its< If.
If the catastrophe that overwhelmed
the city of Pueblo is not to be repeated,
again and yet again perhaps, preventive
measures must be adopted.
Dams must be built and reservoirs
constructed at the headwaters of the
Arkansas river to Impound its floods.
The government reclamation service
points out that floods not less destructive
might occur in any year on the
Rio Grande if the waters of that
stream were not held in leash by the
great Elephant Butte dam. Before
that dam, with its vast reservoir, was
constructed, flood time and again
wreaked havoc in the vicinity of El
Paso.
The Elephant Butte dam Is one of
tlie greatest engineering works ?>u the
globe. It is 3(X? feet high, nearly onethird
of a mile long, and ereates the
largest irrigation reservoir in the world
?an artificial lake covering till square
miles and averaging 70 feet in depth.
The water contained in the reservoir
would cover the whole state of Connecticut
to a depth of ten inches.
Development of similar works on the
headwaters of the Arkansas river
would not only prevent future floods,
hut would store water for Irrigating
hundreds of thousands of acres, and
furnish water power for all the manufacturing
industries in that part of
the country.

Life'* Various Stages.
Youth scorns the Indecisions of Ag
and gambles deeply with life. Youth
has all to gain aud naught but life
to lose. He learns the white hot
heat of anger when but s child; later,
the suffocating hopes and godlike
quality of love. Come still later many
stout throwbacks into realities and
buffetlngs which temper Judgment, but
the forward march continues unabated.
Zeal to live Is paramount and
always must Youth bow to Age's Indecisions,
slow movements, and paralyzing
fears which are grouped with
Age's uncertainties. So Is a man
molded and the wine of life aged.?
