MISS WHICH TELLS OF INDIA SCENES

HANCOCK COUNTY MISSIONARY IS LOCATED IN THE HIMAALAYA MOUNTAINS AND

ENJOYS HER WORK

BEAUTIFUL WILD FLOWERS

Of Many Varieties To Be Gathered in An Hour's Journey Tells of Leper Colony—Some of the Missionaries Suffered with Jungle

Fever—Interesting Letter Written To the Children.

The following letter from Miss Minnie Houck, formerly of Shirley, who is now a missionary in India, will be of interest to the grown people as well as to the children, to whom it is addressed: "Almora, U. P., India. "September 25, 1912. "My Dear "Children:— The days have been slipping away and I have not written to you for a long time. Perhaps you would like to know something of my experience in the past few months. I am now with our party of missionaries up in the Himalayas enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery. Our senior missionary, Miss Abrams, is just recovering from an attack of jungle fever. She, in company with a friend, had been spending several weeks at Mary Reed's Rest Home, where she also has a leper colony it. is about- fifty miles from here, and is a splendidly equipped mission. There is a school for high caste Hindu boys who are not lepers, and Miss Reed, who is nowpast 60 years of age, and who once had leprosy herself, has endeared herself to all about her in her lonely mountain home. When Miss Abrams and her companion started homeward, on their last march down the mountains before reaching the railroad, and they passed through a malarial district where the mosquitoes were very bad. In two weeks both had taken the fever and we brought Miss Abrams up to Almora, out of the intense heat of the plains. After our arrival, I had a month's siege of the fever, but I have quite recovered now. Miss Abrams will soon be strong enough to return to the plains. "I would like to tell you a little about this most interesting place. Perhaps many of you have never seen a mountain and so it would be difficult for you to form any idea of these beautiful Himalayas, as they tower, one range above another, with fertile valleys between them. The mountains are covered with shrubs and many kinds of trees, those in this locality being principally pine trees. On the side of these mountains live many farmers in small stone houses, their gardens or fields built in terraces, many of them not over thirty feet wide, backed up at the edge by a row of stone, then beneath each terrace, like so many wide steps, they gradually descend, covering the mountain side until they look very pretty at a distance. Just beyond these verdure clad hills we can see still higher peaks they are glaciers of ice and snow whose tall summits seem to pierce the skies. They present a very striking contrast to the green below them, and there is something so grand and majestic in their appearance. They seem to be very near, but they are at least one hundred miles away. "The rainy season is just over it doesn't rain so much in Almora as it does in other hill stations, for this reason many people come here at this time of the year. In some parts of the mountains, especially in Darjeeling, it rains so hard that often there are landslides in which many people lose their lives. "The weather now is almost ideal every day is like a rare day in June, the nights are cold but in the day time the sun comes out bright and warm. We often go for a climb over the mountains gathering beautiful ferns and wild flowers. "Our house is called "Riverside" it is build on the side of a mountain, while beneath us is the solid -rock—a good foundation, is it not? "We have a yard full of flowers, such as you have in America roses, cosmos, chrysanthemums, etc. As we stand near the edge of the yard and look out in the distance just opposite from us we see a very high mountain and in the valley far below we can faintly hear the roar of the river which winds about among the rocks and looks like a thread of silver. What a beautiful world we live in! It is the hand of God which has carved the eternal hills and smoothed out the plains causing them to' bring forth food for both man and beast.

"In a few weeks it will get very cold here and by December the snow will be several feet deep. In a short time we will be going down to the plains and winter will soon begin there but it will never be cold enough for snow and ice. Except in the mountains, the winters in India are always very mild We consider it our best season when we get the most work done, so we call it our harvest time. "Ever sincerely your friend, "MINNIE L. HOUCK."

CAN BE CURED IN ANY CLIMATE

Consumptives Need Not Go to Colorado, California or Texas, Says Dr. Hurty.

Dr. J. N. Hurty, state health commissioner, has issued a bulletin in which he states that consumption can be cured in any climate, and in which he advises against going to Colorado or ^Texas unless the patient is financially prepared to remain there a year. Many persons have gone to Colorado and the Southwest without having means to provide for their expenses, and the residents there, the bulletin says, have exhausted their patience because of the many requests for aid from indigent persons. "The cure of consumption is mostly a mode of life," says Dr. Hurty.' "It consists in living in the open air, rest, plain food and attention to all the functions of the body. A cure may be effected in any climate."— Indianapolis Star.

Jas. V. Churchill, 90 Wall St., Auburn, N. Y., has been bothered with serious kidney and bladder trouble ever since he left the army, and says: "I decided to try Foley Kidney Pills, as they had cured so many people, and I soon found they were just the thing. My kidneys and bladder are again in a healthy condition. I gladly recommend them." M. C. Quigley. (Advertisement)

BALLOTS RELEASED BEGIN PRINTING

Almost Quarter Million State Ballots To Be Printed Increase Over Number Printed

Two Years Ago.

The State Board of Election Commissioners have released the b. lots for the November election to the state printer, and ordered 1,230,000 printed. The work began Saturday morning. Monday morning the force of clerks under Ed D. Donnell, clerk of the State Board begun wrapping the packages of ballots in the basement of the state house, and the county clerks will begin to arrive for the various packages Tuesday morning.

The number of ballots ordered printed by the state board will admit of a reserve, to be kept in a guarded vault at the state house for emergencies, numbering 45,000. That number will cover the entire shipment of ballots to the largest county in the state outside of Marion. In case fire should destroy any of the county's supply, the reserve will be used.

The increase in the total number printed, because of various increases in estimates throughout the state, because of the returns from registration, was 13,000 ballots. The tickets will appear on the ballot, reading from left to right, as follows: Democrat, Republican, Prohibitionist, Progressive, Socialist and Socialist Labor.

Proud of Home Town. We like to see and hear a man who is proud of his native town. He is an indispensible citizen, although he may be as poor as a church mouse, but his name should be written in large letters at the entrance of his town as an honor to his memory. We have such with us, and they are worth more to the progress of the town than their weight in gold. They know every point of interest and of ad-, vantage for miles around, and any stranger falling into their hands will soon learn of everything that adds to the honor of our town and will soon learn of everything that adds to the honor of our town and will be most favorably impressed. Such persons overlook with true patriotism all shortcomings and magnify with honest citizenship every advantage..

The Time When Ghosts Are Supposed to Walk Looked Forward (o By Young People

Hallowe'en, the time when all the ghosts of the land are supposed to walk the earth and make merry is almost here. The last day of this month will mark the passing of this festive occasion, and the time is looked forward to with a great deal of interest and with anticipations of great pleasure.

Hallowe'en, as it is now celebrated, means to the present generation only an unusual season of fun and a good time, although in olden times and in other countries it was a very solemn and fearful occasion, according to legends handed down from those days.

IS THIS GIRL ASHAMED OF HER PARENTS 1

In an article entitled "What is Aristocracy" in the November Woman's Home Companion, the following letter from a girl is quoted: "Mother is dear and good but* oh, she is narrow! She and father just simply do not understand and they never will. Father is a selfmade man, and I am proud of him but, oh, I don't see why you can't be fine and still have good table manners. He and mother simply don't care about such things and father gets furious if I even hint that I'm not content at home. 'If that's what college does for you,' he says, 'you'd better stay away. Your mother and I have got on without it, and I guess you can, too.' He does not understand. I don't want to be disloyal to them, but neither do: I want to give up all these friends and manners and all these broader views I've gotten at college. You don't know what it has .meant to me. It has been heavenly, just heavenly, to be there. I don't want to be a snob, but I hate boorishness and rough speech and clumsy, ugly manners. I like to see beiautiful things around me, and I love gentle manners. YTet, there is my duty to father and mother. Father even said to be one day that I{was a 'climber,' that was the way 'he'put it that I was trying to get into society where I do not belong. Please tell me what you think I ought lo do about it." d-w

Artificial Roots for False Teeth. To complete false teeth, a dentist of Wichita, Kan., has invented an artificial root, by means of which an entire new set of sound teeth can be placed in a jaw from which all the natural teeth and the roots have been removed. To prove that his invention is of practical value, he recently took with him to the convention of the National Dental Association in Washington, a Wichita attorney, who has, a number of these artificial roots in his jaws. How the roots are :pjaced in the jaw is explained in] the November Popular Mechanics' Magazine.. ... ... d-w •1
