More than half of all deaths occur
before six years of age. An army of in
nocent, loely children are swept need
lessly away each jear. Parents are
criminally responsible for this- The
death rate of children in England is less
than half this. Acker's English Baby
Soother has done more -to bring this
about than all other causes combined.

Nevada's Angry Tree.
In some parts of Nevada is a
curious plant called the "Angry
Tree." It is a native of Australia,
and somewhat resembles the cen
tury plant. Its name is due to its
apparent vexation iat being dis
turbed. When transplanted each
separate leaf stands up in a differ
ent direction, like quills on a por
cupine or hairs on the tail of an
angry cat. At such times it gives
forth a unpleasant odor, like that
of a rattlesnake when teased, and
sometimes it is fully an hour be
fore its leaves resume their natural
condition. Another curiosity in
the plant world is a peculiar kind
ot weed wmen grows in tne Ar
kansas valley. If is shaped like, a
ball, and varies in size from one
foot or less in diameter to five or
six feet, some specimens being as
tall as a man. When ripe these
balls snap off their stems, and go
tumbling over the prairies with
every gust of wind They pre
sent a very strange appeararice,
and in the distance hunters have
mistaken them for bisons. Often
they come bounding along at
great speed upon the hunters, who
are conmelled to crowd unon tire
ground to escape being hurt.

Sunflowers are used in Wyo

Tired feeling, dull headache, pains in
