Granting that the present loss hatio is main- . tained in this class of property from I fire loss will be considerable. The figures show that more of these fires and much more fire damage, occurred during August than any other month, and that in January the least number of fosses and the smallest amount of fire loss occurred. A total of 39 barns were burned in January, with a loss of $22,313, as against 107 losses m August, entailing a loss of $99,909. Erect posture is the primary element in good bodily poise. It is a very simple matter. And yet it is very, very uncommon. Erect posture is not only a factor in beauty; it is a very important factor health. This is true not only because it means a normal condition of the spine with a healthy state of the nerve centers, but because of its influence upon the functions of all the internal organs. Nature intended these organs to occupy a certain position in the body. They i do their best work only when they ocIcupy these allotted positions. When ! they arc crowded out position or permitted, through bad posture, to sag ■or fall several inches below, their ef- ' ficiency is naturally interfered with. They are obliged to struggle against a severe handicap.—From “Acquiring a Queenly Carriage,” by Dorothy Pearl Buchanan, in November Physical Culture. DEMOCRAT WANT Al PAY BIG.

I FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE Duty Demands Robust Health Fight to get it and keep it Fight—fight day In and day out to prevent being overtaken by Ills and alls. Keep wrinkles from marring the cheek and the body from losing its youthful appearance and buoyancy. Fight when ill-health is coming with Its pallor and pains, defects and declining powers. Fight to stay its course and drive It off. But fight intelligently. Don’t fight without weapons that can win the day for without thu Intelligent use of effective weapons the pallor spreads and weakness grows and a seemingly strong man or woman ofttlmes becomes a pray to ills after all. You will not find this class of persons in the hypoferrln ranks. No unhealthy, dull, draggy, droopy persons In that line. It is a hale, hearty, robust aggregation of quick-steppers who view life in a joyous frame of mind and are mentally and physically equal to any emergency.
