' Experiments show that light can be
en through a clean cut opening of
not more than ooe forty-thousandth of
an Inch. . This fact was determined by
taking two thoroughly clean straight
edges and placing a piece of paper be
tween the surfaces at one end. the op
posite end being allowed to come to
gether. The straight edges belug placed
between the eye aud a strong light In a
dark room, a wedge of light was per
ceived from the ends between which
the paper was placed and the opposite,
which were brought together. The
thickness of the paper being known,
the distance apart of the two edges of

THE DAY8 OF CATTLE TICKS.
. By Fred G. Patter.
The daye of cattle ticka have come,
Whoa hatching nits appear, '
And canyon, wide and mountain! side
Proclaim 'The 'Ick te here."
And cattle scratch and hor3e3 rub,
' While all are looking "bun," .
And men begla to, grab the ahlni
And cry, "The tick has come.''
Each mother strips her cherished
child
And with an anxious eye
Doti carefully scan her Uttle man
A wicked tick to spy. ?
The rancher would' protect Via herd
And labors, long and hard
And says to .ticks, "I'll spoil your
tricks
With kerosene and lard."
As mothers, and ranchers, refuse to
be
By cattle ticks beguiled,
O, labor hard, from EVIL guard
The heart, the home, the child.

THE DRUG IDEA.
The philosophy of the Drug Idea
is to give a sick person some dead
ly j clfeon that causes, another kind
o' s c knees, or makes .the man ill in
another way. So .the patient is giv
en a disease in order to cure him
of another, or make him. Immune
from one'. Vaccination le the injec
tion into the system of a virus or
poison which gives the . person a
disease, in. order to keep him from
catching one; the drug- idea in an
other form. The whole scheme of
swalllng poisons Or inoculating the
body ,wlth a virus, . had Its rise in
the belief that disease wae caused
by a devil, and In order to get well
you had to drive the devil out. The
casting out of the devils was a liter
al proposition. Later we were told
by pious friends that God had! pro
vided a remedy for every t disease.
They did' not tell us that God had
first supplied the disease. It was
assumed that the devl) sent the dis
ease, and then God in hla love sent
the remedy.
Great as was Linnaeus, he taught
thls'doctrine of divine-healing plants
Our belief is now that Nature nev
er contemplated disease, but that
constant health la the most natural
thing In the world. If we live right
ly we are' proof against disease.
What we want le resisting power or
resiliency. Alt drugs first excite,
and then reduce vitality, laying you
ope a to disease. There Is really no
immunity except through - health.
Drugs, virus and poisons always
mean danger. Many so-called dis
eases are the results of the drug
habit. Vaccination, kills a thousand
more people than- smallpox does,

How Tropical Fruits Are Protected.

A Cat Operation., , .,
I saw something today that pushes
the limit" said a youug married man
who had Just returned from the cat
and dog hospital. He bad been there
to take his wife's pet cat, that had
broken her leg. .. ..i
What was that?" naturally the wife
asked him.
"A cat that was being treated for a
mole orf Its nose. There wasn't a thing
on earth the matter with the animal
except that It had a tiny mole. The
owner of the cat, a fashionably dressed
young woman heavy with furs, said
it spoiled the animal's beauty. Who
ever heard of such a thing? Torturing
a poor cat Just to have a mole removed
from its nose." New York Press.

CLEAN-UP DAY IS
I
ALL OVER CITY BUSY PEOPLE
UNITE IN CLEANING AMD
BEAUTIFYING
Clean-Up Day was even a bigger
success than the promoters antici
pated , The people responded with
enthusiasm to the call of the Im-
provement league to get busy. From
the hills, surrounding the city piles
of tto cans could be seen1 in every
direction. The wagons were kept
busy all day hauling off the raked
up trash. The little bonfires with
clouds of smoke muat have remind
ed the bid settlers of Indian, days.
The only regret felt le that R had
not been, two days Instead of one.
Everyone could find so much to do.
One lady of the league who le de
cidedly an active member and full
of good Ideas, suggests, having box
es nailed to the telephone poles
every two or three blocks for the,
convenience of people who have
jcrap paper, orange peelings, etc.,
to throw away oa the street.
The spirit of neatness and order
that Clean-Up Day has giveni ev
eryone 1b worth the whole price
of admission.
There Is not a town on the map
that takes as much pride In progres
sion iu all directions as doea Enter-'
prise and; that is the reason of Its
