Even a woman will give money the

The healthy old man wears his
gray hairs like silver crown. What
if he be threescore and ten if there is
still fire in his eye, firmness in his
step, command in his voice and wis
dow in his counsel? He commands
love and reverence. Yet how few
wear the mantle of age with dignity.
Dim eyed, querulous ofspeech, halt
ing in step, childish in mind, they
flag superhuous on the stage,
dragging out the fag end of life in
simple existence. The secret OF a
healthy old age is healthy middle
age. The man who takes care of
his stomach, who keeps his body
properly nourished, will find that
the body does, not fail him in old
age. Thegreatvalueof DR.. Pierce S
Golden Medical Discovery lies in the
preserv alton of the working power
of the stomach and other organs of
digestion and nutrition. From
this center is distributed the nour-
lshment of the whole body, the salt

phosphates for the brain and nerves.
A sound stomach means a.. sound
man. A man who keeps his stomach
sound by the use of Golden Medi-
cal Discovery" will wear the crown
of gray hairs as BELTS a monarch,

HORSES PHOTOGRAPHS
1t Takes Skill to Pose a High-Spirited
Steed.

1t is an almost invariable rule with
the exhibitors at the horse show to
have photographs made of their pets,
and the amount OF money thus spent
is considerable. The price charged
for making photograph of a fancy
i'orse is entirely cut of proportion to
the cost of an ordinary picture. Fifty
or even a hundred dollars dozen is
gladly paid by many owners for pho
tographs of their favoritc animals,
and even more has been charged by
leading photographers for obtaining
photographs of winners"
1t takes an expert in double sense
to photograph high grade horses sat
isfactorily. A leading photographer
said to me: "The operator must not
only know lot about photography,
bat he must know horse nature like
a book, since half the battle consists
in getting the subject to pose satisfac-
torily.
Until you try to pose nervous.
high spirited horse you can have no
idea of the almost endless bother in
volved. You can't get the beast in
just the attitude you are after and in
duce him to keep the pose. You have
to watch your chance, and take him
when you think it is all right.
"For the reason that horses cannot
be kept long enough in one pose for
time exposure work, the photograph
er is obliged to make all his pictures
from snapshots, taken in bright sun
shine. In order to bring out the tex
ture and gloss of the coat properly,
the light must be strong and clear.
In the early spring the atmosphere is
generally too full of moisture to get
satisfactory light, and, all things con-
sidered, horse show time is the very
best for photographing horses."- m.

SOURCES OF TIN.
United States Not So Fortunate as Many
Other Countries

The tin used in the tin plate in
dustry comes from several sources.
The best Of these is found in Aus
tralia and the Straits Settlements.
The latter furnish the most desir-
able tin, known as Banca tin. This
is regarded as the purest, and is in
consequence more sought after by
the manufacturers Of tin plate. The
Cornwall mines were discovered
about 55 B. c., and for IL centuries
were the one source of this mineral.
In 1910 tin was found in Bohemia.
Five hundred years later, in 1850, the
Banca mines were opened. In the
following century Australia became j
producer of block tin on large scale.
From 1872 tin has been found in
commercial quantities in New South
Wales, Queensland. and Tasmania.
The United States has not been
SO fortunate, although many at
tempts have been made from time to
time to find tin. Tin was discovered
in California as early as 1910, but
there was no mining done until 1868
Only for short time were the mines
operated; they were then Il closed down,
and remained so until 1855. In this
year an American company bought
the property with the intention of OPP
Grating, but it was sold to an English
syndicate before two years had passed.
Something like Ss00,oc0 was spent,
but no special results were secured.
The total product of the mine was
100000 pounds of tin valued at $780,
000 The Harvey Peak mine is the
story of another futile attempt to get
tin in commercial quantities. The
Harvey Peak, as it is familiarly called,
is situated near Custer City, S. D. A
great deal of money has been spent in
the development of this mine, but it
is doubtful if more than ten tons of
metal have been taken out of the
ground. The English capitalists were
also heavily interested in this at
tempt. In Alabama, North Carolina
and Virginia, tin-bearing rock has
been found. In no sense can the
United States be regarded as tim

Observations regarding the growtJ,
of man have determined the follow
ing interesting facts: The most rapid
growth takes place Immediately after
birth, the growth Of an infant during
the first year OF its existence being
about eight inches. The ratio of in
crease gradually lessons until the age
of three is reached, at which time the
size attained is half that which the
child is to become when full grown.
After five years the succeeding in
crease Is very regular till the sixteenth
year, being at the rate, for the aver
age man, Of two inches year. Be-
yond 16 the growth is feeble, being
for the following two years about
three-6fths Of On inch q year; while
from 8 to 20 the increase in height is
seldom over ono inch. At the age Of
25 the growth ceases, except in few
rare cases.

herits nothing less than passion for
cats from father, mother and his four
grandparents. His mother used to
converse with her cats, and they un-

extremely sensitive to the graceful

III. Coppee prefers cats to dogs. They
