“I worked on the steamboats until I
was 19 years old, when I got married
, in St. Louis. My wife died a year later.
I came up on a boat one day with a
stranger who offered me $60 a month
to go with a wagon train to Califor-
nia, -I accepted. We were two months
making the trip and finally reached
Sacramento, where I divided my time
between cooking and working in the
‘diggins.’
“On that visit I accumulated about
$9,000 in gold, which I brought.back to
St. Louis with me and intrusted to my
mother. The following year, 1849, I

a means of saving. He stated that
he did not think that the 1-pound loaf
was the proper unit for the average
family and that many local bakers had
lost approximately 10 per cent of their
business recently when they attempted
to go back to the 1-pound unit. He
was of the opinion that the new law
relative to weights of bread was forc-
ing something on the people that they
did not want. He was, however, in
favor of obeying the law to the let-
ter.
Charles F. Gerlach stated that the
weight of bread varied at different
times, depending on the weather, fer-
mentation and the heat of the oven.
He stated that it was a physical im-
possibility for any baker to regulate
this. He was of the opinion that the
law was incomplete in this respect and
should be amended.
When asked if he had anything to
do with the price of bread, Mr. Pichard
stated that it was his duty to see that
the loaves of bread measured up to
the proper weight only.
The bakers, by a rising vote agreed
to comply with the law and in the fu-
ture loaves of bread baked in Galves-
ton will weight 1, 1%, 2 and 3 pounds,
respectively.

Don’t stay stuffed-up! Quit blowing
and snuffling! A dose of “Pape’s Cold
Compound” taken every two hours un-
til three doses are taken usually breaks
up a severe cold and ends all grippe
misery.
The very first dose opens your dog-
ged-up nostrils and the air passages
of the head; stops nose running; re-
lieves the headache, dullness, feverish-
ness, sneezing, soreness and stiffness.

a few cents at drug stores. It acts

many found it so. The kind of men
who brought their families to Oregon
in the ‘50s because they found Illinois
and Ohio and Missouri and Indiana too
“congested,” would have thanked no-
body for suggesting that they needed
a clubhouse and a nightly motion pic-
ture show to make life pleasanter than
it always was. They wanted room to
expand in, and they found it in the
boundless West.
But times have changed, and people
with them. It seems a little odd to
read that in England the objection to
rural life is similar to that in this
country; that in England, which we
picture as relatively densely populated,
with some 700 persons to the square
mile by comparison with our thirty-
three to the square mile, the popular
clamor in the country is for easier ac-
cess to the town; that there is a move-
ment to bring the villages into closer
contact with the farms. The social
side of life has a stronger drawing
power than ever.
England’s answer, in part, is the
building of 350 club houses for farm-
ers and their helpers, in as many vil-
lages, club houses ranging from small
, libraries and reading rooms to preten-
tious municipal social centers. The
community idea is being strongly cul-
tivated. If the farmers want to be
entertained in intervals of crop pro-
duction, entertainment will be fur-
nished them. The town, which used
to be the creation of the country, is
reversing the old process; now it pro-
poses to take the lead in saving the
surrounding country from depopula-
tion.
The responsibility here put on the
town is very great. One wonders just
how many towns there are in the ru-
ral districts of the United States, for
example, that are really attractive
enough to make a farmer want to
spend his spare time in them, except
under compulsion. If the existence of
agriculture is going to depend on mak-
ing town life more agreeable, it is time
our town planning committees were
at work. There is a lot to be done, and
it is hard to tell where to begin. But
if a number of “country towns” would
seriously ask themselves what they are
doing toward making people want to’
visit them the answer might be found.
If the lonesomeness of farming is
the chief count against it, we ought to
be able to find a remedy. Three mil-
lion young men just out of the army
have developed a high disinclination to
flock by themselves. We shall need to
look after the social side of agricul-
ture or presently find ourselves with-
out food to eat.

Mothers Are Limited To a List of
Names Approved By Government
(From the Columbus Dispatch.)
French mothers who are anxious to
honor Americans by bestowing their
names upon children are having a hard
time of it, in that in France a mother
cannot give a child any name she de-
sires—unless she desires to give it an
“approved” name. For there is a law
in France limiting the bestowal of bap-
tismal names. Thus, when a mother
wanted to call her boy “Pershing,” she
found that it could not be legally
done.
Many years ago parents gave such
outlandish names to their children that

No more twelve-ounce loaves of
bread will be manufactured by the ba-
kers of the city. In the future only
loaves of 1%, 2 and 3-pound weights
will be baked. This decision was
reached by the Master Bakers’ associa-
tion at a special meeting held at 10
o’clock this morning in the council
chamber of the city hall when A. C.
Pichard, building inspector and inspec-
tor of weights and measures, read cop-
ies of the new law requiring bakers
in the state to make loaves of these
sizes.
Approximately twenty local bakers
were present at the meeting which
was called by Mr. Pichard following
the request of members of the bakers’
association. The new laws were out-
lined to the assembled bakers, follow-
ing which a general discussion was
held. The meeting lasted an hour and
a quarter and at the close the assem-
bled bakers extended a rising vote of
thanks to Mr. Pichard for his many
courtesies towards them.
Mr. Pichard explained his position
to the bakers relative to the enforce-
ment of the new laws and stated that
it was his duty to see that the new
weights and measures law was en-
forced. He stated that he wished the
co-operation of the bakers in the mat-
ter and that he would be obliged to
prosecute any and all who failed to
comply with the new weights for
bread.
Many of the bakers have been mak-
ing a 12-ounce loaf of bread which, ac-
cording to R. A. Boening, manager of
the bakery department of Peter Geng-
ler and company, was the means of
saving a great quantity of wheat dur-
ing a year. Mr. Boening stated that
the United States food administration
had recommended the 12-ounce loaf as

Drink a quart of vinegar every week,

Frank Arnold, 90 years old, Who works
daily as a laborer, supporting with his
earnings a family consisting of his
sixth wife and his 16-year-old daugh-
ter.
A Post-Dispatch reporter, who visit-
ed him at his home, 1461 Madison
street, found him dressed in the over-
alls in which he had worked all day
in the shipping yard of the Chevrolet
Motor Car Company.
Arnold said that for the last forty
years he has consumed a quart of
vinegar weekly, drinking a table-
spoonful at a time. The acetic acid
has a beneficial effect on the kidneys,
he maintains. As to eating raw beef,
he declares that he prefers it that
way to any other. “I first learned to
‘eat raw beef while with the Indians
and I relish it,” he said.
BOY TAUGHT HIM TO WRITE.
Although he has never been to
school, Arnold is well educated. He
learned to read and write when 20
years old by employing a small boy to
teach him the alphabet at the rate of
five cents a letter. The boy would
draw the letters in chalk on the side-
walk and explain them to him.
All of his former wives died and in
relating this he declared that "if they
had followed my advice I am sure some
of them would be alive today.”
“I came to St. Louis when I was two
months old,” he said. “My father was
killed near Tecumseh, Mich., in the
Black Hawk War. My earliest recol-
lection of the city is the commotion
that occurred when a meteor fell in
1833. I watched the fall from my
mother’s shoulder and remember that
everyone appeared excited, and de-
clared the end of the world had come.
NEVER BEEN INSIDE SCHOOL.
I have never been inside a school
but that was because I was a bad boy,
and would not obey my mother, it
was this disobedience that led me to
run away when I was 8 years old to
get a job as a deck sweeper on a
steamboat running, between St. Louis
and New Orleans. That started my
Care Should Be Taken in Winter, Espe-

(From the Pittsburgh Chronicle-Tele-

With the return of the season of low
temperatures there comes recurrence of
a danger that will menace many homes
for months to, come. It is the danger
that lurks in the open fireplace and
the unguarded stove, liable to leap
out at any moment and cause agony
and death. Although it is early there
already have been several distressing
fatalities in this community, and they
are more saddening because they could
have been averted by the exercise of
a little care. ■
It is little short of.criminal careless-
ness when fire fronts are left unsheld-
ed in the home having little children.
It is but natural that they should gath-
er around the fire while dressing on a
cold morning, and their flimsy under~
garments are quick to ignite when
they are least suspicious of danger. But
this peril is not confined to small chil-
dren, for even adults are often num-
bered among the victims.

GALVESTON TRIBUNE
I was not so fortunate and nearly lost
my life.
“We were returning from the West
in 1850 and had reached a point ten
miles west of Denver when Indians
and halfbreeds attacked us. In the
melee I was hit and when I revived I
was held on a horse by an Indian rid-
ing over the plains. We rode for more
than a day and finally reached an In-
dian camp, where I was placed under
guard in a wigwam.
“I was forced to sleep in this wig-
wam with the Indian who captured me,
his squaw and a young Indian girl. If
I moved a finger during the night
they were on the alert. I lived in this
fashion for seven months and learned
to speak the language. I told the girl
how my sisters and mother were at
home crying for me and one day she
came into the wigwam carrying a jug.
She passed it to the old man, who took
a swig of it and then passed it to the
squaw. When they gave it to me I
looked at the girl and she shook her
head. I pretended to drink and then
set the jug down. In a short time the
old ones were asleep and I went out-
side, where the girl fetched me a
pouch, powder, horn, gun and four
bullets and showed me which way to
go. 1
“I walked for three days, eating a
little pemmican that the girl had given
me. I was fourteen days on the prairie
and did not know where I was. Then
I ran out of water and food and was
too- weak to do any hunting.”
VISITED BY BRIGHAM YOUNG.
Arnold said that he staggered on for
another day and finally sat down, ex-
hausted, on the prairie. When he re-
gained consciousness he was riding in
a wagon- driven by an old man, who
told him they were going to Salt Lake
City, Utah. The old man, who was a
Mormon, fed him and cared for him in
his home. While there, Arnold said,
Brigham Young, the Mormon leader,
was brought in to visit him. After
several weeks Arnold, said he asked
permission to take the next wagon
train for St. Louis, but obtained it only
on condition that he return to Salt
Lake to reside permanently.
“The next year I went back to the
steamboats and went to New Orleans,”
he continued. “I had a little money
when we reached there and walked
down to the wharves to see the ships.
We met a couple of fellows and had
a few drinks. I drank in those days,
and the next thing I knew I was on a
ship, bound for England. They had
‘shanghaied’ me.”
LANDED IN ENGLAND “BROKE.”
He said that the ship he sailed on
was known as the Cambria and the
cruelties practiced upon the crew by
the captain and his mates made the
voyage one of great misery. Three
members of the crew died from the in-
juries inflicted by the third mate, a
man named Williams. Williams was
hanged and the captain and other mates
sentenced from five to seven years
following a trial that resulted from
complaints made by the crew after the
ship docked.
Arnold said that when he landed in
England he was “broke,” and he enlist-
ed in a British infantry regiment. Two
weeks later he sailed for India. He
remained there two months and was
assigned to service in the Crimean
War. He said that he participated in
the siege of Sebastopol, where he was
wounded by a shell fragment.
