Without it human llfo decays comes to an untimely end; Its acqulsltlon lle8 in bofng frlendIy our. selves first, reciprocating what we re ceive from others. Some years ago I knew a lovely friend. With ttll who met him, simultaneous reciprocation seemed to exist. To all that knew hlnj he was a "lovable old man, "Uncle" Dan Griffin was an old prospector. Up in tho dranlto,,courii try of Montana, since his wifo. died twontv vorirs before, ho lived rough but neat log cabin on a'claimj. Everyday 'he dug 'Jmt;JuW sHirch, rock, which,' in a mortar he poUrided out the gold to buy tho ivecessary needs of his humble life. His own needs were not many. His personal appearance as well as his abode were clean and tidy. Common overalls were his only garb, with a change from his "diggln' clothes" tot, the cloan "Boss of the Roads" and flan nel shirt. A buckskin string held a watch, silver case with, a golden ,lpco motive engraved thereon in a small pocket he had sewed on himself. He had a long gray beard and moustache immaculately clean. "Uncle" Dan had two sons .ui Cali fornia. "Not very rich, but doing quite well," he said. "I occasionally send them a little bottle of tills gold" ho continued, "but sure, twice every year on their birthdays and Christ mas." No, I don't wont to sell my littlo claim. Once I was offered 850, 000.00 for It. Don't know what I would do with so much money. Prob ably do like tho rest, go to town and lot tho sharks have It land in the poor house or commit suicide. No, all I want Is what I got here. Prospected nigh on twenty years be fore I found this. Now it Is mine. If I let It go the chances are I'd never find another. I am still prospecting in the hills yonder. Not for the gold to buy me luxuries and all that goes with it nowadays. I lovo prospecting. Just so with my digging here. I want ed gold lor to make a fair living ouy bacon for myself and tho kids when they need help. Digging is my greatest delight in life. The samo gold dug by others would never fill tlio Joy of digging for myself. So I keep my little claim."' Uncle" Dan Griffin. 88 years young, still up ihero in the Granites, has never turned a man away from his cabin door. I know of two fam ilies who held their homesteads with tho gold that ho gave them. I know a storeman whom he pulled out of bankruptcy with a littlo bottle oi his gold. I know ono .woman that he picked up drunk from the streets and with his gold helped to mako her a yood woman and a wife for a hiend homesteader in the Gallatin valley. I know a young postmaster whom he extricated from the peultentlary when nis gold balanced the deficit hi the post office. That is why he is a friend and "lovable old man." Tills is what ho said on "Friend ship.1 "Naturally you must want friendship. Wanting friendship Is like a traveler wanting a drink of water. He conies to a dry gulch and he'll not tarry there long.

Rape seed is also im portedtat the rate of 5.000,000 pounds a year and it apparently does well in this region.

GEKMICIDKS The Ideal germicide would destroy bacteria but;leave human' tissue un harmed. Unfortunately we have no Ideal germicide. " . f 1 Different antiseptics and germicides vary In their effectiveness under dif ferent circumstances. The mere statement that a certain germicide will kill so many millions of germs within a given time iswlth- out significance unless the circum- Bw.ivE. ouiiuuuuiug Llie lSt UTC aiSO described. Thus bichloride of mercury In the dilution of one part ot the germicide to a thousand parts of water will kill typhoid bacilli in two and one-half minutes, but If the bacilli are in as little as 2 to 8 per cent of fecal mat ter the efficiency of the bichloride is reduced by 90 per cent. ' uermiciaes ana antiseptics may act in a variety of ways, though thev are mi cnectlve by alterln and de stroylng 1 the protoplasm of mlcro- organisms. Heat and light, the latter In the form of sunlight or ultra violet light, destroy bacteria; Oxidizing agents sue n as nyarogen peroxide; potassium permanganate, chlorine, bromine and iodine destroy bacteria chemically. Acids, alkali, alcohol, phenol and carbolic acid also destroy bacteria. Fortunately tho protoplasm of bac teria in many cases Is more readily injured than is the protoplasm of body cells. Therefore a number of the foregoing germicides can boused effectively in diluted forms. A dab of iodine may dd for a small cut. However, it cannot be used very well where large areas of skin have been denuded.
