Grain Slumps Hard at Baker.
Baker, Or. Grain prices took a rec
ord drop in the local market here.
Wheat fell from a range of $1.15 to
$1.18 down to $1 and $1.05. Oats
dropped from $1.40 to $1.30, while
barley in ton lots went from $25 and
$26 to $24. Farmers paid little heed
to the prices, but it is expected that
holders will wait for the reaction from
the big drop and then sell. Local mill
men say the bump is due to there be
ing practically no shipping this month
and because manipulators outside have
let prices drift after May deliveries.

HOLD QUEER BELIEFS
SUPERSTITIONS OF THE NATIVES
OF INDIA.
Toad Soup as a Cure for Insanity Is
On of Them Caste Question Al
waya of Profound Impor
tance. Hidden among the pages of statis
tics and maps in the 1911 general re
port on the census ot India are some
quaint stories of Indian beliefs and
superstitions. Mr. O'Malley, who su
perintended the census taking In Ben
gal, Bihar and Orissa, tells us that the
lower classes think that insanity is
duo to excess ot bile in the system or
to worms in the head.
"Neglect of the worship ot the gods,
or the curse of Yogi Sadhu or other
holy maa may produce it Madness
being due to possession by aa evil
spirit, every attempt is made to ap
pease or exorcise it The exorcists
hold smoking chllies to the nostrils
of the patient and chant mantras, ad
dressing the spirit in obscene lan
guage, all with the idea of driving it
away. When these means prove futile
they prescribe a diet calculated to
force the spirit to leave his victim in
fear of losing his caste. The unfortu
nate patient, has therefore to consume
soup made of toads, etc When these
abominable nostrums fail the use of
medicated oils and of indigenous
herbs and drugs is resorted to."
The medical treatment of the insane
sometimes takes the following forms:
"The mud taken from putrid tanks
is plastered on the patient's head, or
aloe pulp is mixed with water and ap
plied in the form of an emulsion. A
favorite remedy is soup made from a
particular kind of frog."
Again, the caste question Is one
which is of particular Importance in
many of the Eastern provinces, and it
is told how one chief excommunicated
the recalcitrants in one highly organ
ized caste which had been split into
two hostile camps, and so effectual
and binding was this order that not
only did the barbers, washermen and
priests of the state, who had hitherto
served them, refuse to work for them,
but the services could not be ob
tained even of barbers, washermen
and priests residing outside the state.
This order was strictly enforced for
some time. The men ot this caste
are clean-Bhaven and very well
groomed and dressed, but when the
dispute was eventually settled the per
sons affected by the order had long,
dirt-matted beards, the hair of their
heads was in long strands and filthy
In the extreme, and their clothes were
beyond description for uncleanllness.
Seeking a Husbsnd.
Nat E. Harris, recently elected gov
ernor of Georgia, merrily smiled the
other evening when the conversa
tion in the lobby of a hotel turned to
the subject of benedicts. He said he
was reminded of a little incident
Some time ago a pretty young wom
an entered a moving picture theater
and took a seat well toward the front
Finally the lights were turned on, re
vealing a young married couple with
whom she was acquainted sitting be
side her.
"Why, Clara!" exclaimed the young
married woman, noticing that the
other was unattended. "What in the
world are you doing here?"
"I am looking for a husband, dear,"
was the qqlet response ot Clara.
"Looking for a husband!" returned
the married woman, wonderingly.
"Why, you have a husband!"
"Yes, I know," was the Bighful re
Joinder of the late comer. "That's the
one I'm looking for." Philadelphia

China Needs Weather Bureau.
The need of a weather bureau in
China Is emphasized by C. D. Jameson
In his report to the American Red
Cross on the measures which his per
sonal observations In China indicate
should be adopted to ameliorate the
flood and famine conditions of that
country. There are at present practi
cally no rainfall statistics for the river
basins most subject to floods, much
less any organization for flood predic
tion. Torrential rains sometimes oo
cur in this region. In June, 1910, a
local downpour in the vicinity of
Szechow, lasting some 42 hours, is es
timated to have amounted to 24 Inches.
The unofficial meteorological service
ot Zlkawel observatory, extending
along the coast and up the Yangtse
valley is the nearest approach to a
national weather bureau yet existing
in China. Scientific American.
Temperature and Conductabillty.
It has been known that some mate
rials are better conductors of elec
tricity than others, and now Professor
Kamerllngh-Onnes ot Leyden has dis
covered that at certain very low tem
peratures many metals which are con
ductors of electricity lose every trace
of resistance to the current and be
come what be calls "superconductors."
Tho finest wires of tin and lead do not
become heated under the highest cur
rents. It is strange that when tho
critical temperature Is lowered even
slightly the superconductivity ceases
and the metal behaves aa at other low
temperatures.
Wasted Weather.
"Remarkable weather we're having,"
said the man who tries to be conver
sational "Yes," replied the man who is ever
gloomy; "but with no baseball nor
circus nor election In town I dont
tee what's tha use ot it"
. Foiling a Burglar.
A new means ot preventing your
house from being robbed by burglars
has been evolved by a contributor to

simple: Recognise th burglar on his
first attempt then notify him through
the newspapers that a double-barreled
shotgun is awaiting him next time.

Hi aV U a3FWr

Reliable evidence is abundant that women
are constantly being restored to health by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
The many testimonial letters that we are continually pub
lishing in the newspapers hundreds of them are all genu
ine, true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude
for the freedom from suffering that has come to these
women solely through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
Money could not buy nor any kind of influence obtain
such recommendations; you may depend upon it that any
testimonial we publish is honest and true if you have any
doubt of this write to the women whose true names and
addresses are always given, and learn for yourself.
Read this one from Mrs. Waters:
Camden, 'S.J. ul was sick for two years -with nervous spells, and
my kidneys were affected. I had a doctor all the time and used a
galvanio battery, but nothing did me any good. I was not able to go
to bed, but spent my time on a couch or in a sleeping-chair, and soon
became almost a skeleton. Finally my doctor went away for his
health, and my husband heard of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable)
Compound and got me some. In two months I got relief and now I
am like a new woman and am at my usual weight. I recommend
your medicine to every one and so does my husband." Mrs. Tills
Watbes, 630 Jlechanio Street, Camden, N.J.
From Hanover, Penn.
Hanover, Pa. "I was a very weak woman and suffered from
bearing down pains and backache. I had been married over four
years and had no children. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
proved an excellent remedy for it made me a well woman. After
taking a few bottles my pains disappeared, and we now have one of
the finest boy babies you ever saw." lira. C, A. Kicksods, RFJ
No. 6, Hanover, Pa.
Now answer this question if you can. Why should a
woman continue to suffer without first giving Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial ? You know that
it has saved many others why should it fail in your case?
Fop SO yean Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable)
Compound has been the standard rcmedTforfo
male ilia. No one sick with woman's ailments
does jnstlee to herself if she does not try this fa
mous medicine made from roots and herbs, it
has restored so many suffering women to health.
