A person is taller In the morning than
at night The reason is that he is
pressed down during the day by the
weight Of the atmosphere, and by the
pressure Of the upper parts o. the body
and such burdens as ne may carry
These weights press down the csrtilages
at the joints, and especially those in the
spinal column, so that the height Of
man 10 reduced. When the weights are
removed and he lies down at night the
cartilages act like cushions and gradually
return TO their original size. NJ Robert
reports measurements Of PSF persons
showing 3 difference in heigth between
morning and night measurements Of six
TO twenty millimetres lone 9th to four
lifths OF an inch) This fact is well un-
derstood among French conscripts, and
NJ Paul Topinard reports that some Of
them who are just upon or very slightly
above the minimum limit az TO height
walk about with heavy weights upon
their shoulders for several days and dur
ing the night Immediately preceding the
final measurements In order to reduce
their heights. This practice has
been so successful that in some ex-
treme cases, according to the same athor-
ity, the height of man has been reduced
by 1t more that an inch. As men ad
vance ia age the cartilages do NOT fully
recover during the night from the effects
Of the days compression. The result Of
This is that men are commonly not 50 tall

600, 600, the tribute 70 the iron and steel
tax is seen TO be $3.50. 000.000 in ten
years This calculation will be recog
nized as a most liberal one to the
spoliationists, but even the figures re-
sulting from it are startling All this
extra cost is added to the capital Of the
country, in railroads and other struc-
lures and must pay profits and dividends
just as other Investment are required TO
do. The railroad companies must keep
their transportation ra es high enough to
enable them TO earn the same
rata of interest upon the
tariff tax addition to the cost Of
their lines that they earn on the rest
of their capital, and the shipper of
corn, wheat and other freight must bear
the burden. Whether the extra earnings
of the ,mpanies amount to 1926, 600, 600,
or half, or double that should not be re-
garded as q material consideration II
is enough to know that they amount to
something, aud that men who derive no
benefit from the tariff tax are compelled
to Day the amount, whatever it is. A
sufficient proof OF the fact that the steel
rail tax Is wholly unnecessary is, that
rails are at times sold here for less than
cost IN England When the demand at
home increases, the tax is added to the
price. So with every other protected
article The settlement rests with the
man who pays the freight.
