There is a dearth OF thoroughly train.
ed men IN all professions. The more
eXactlng the conditions the greater the
need. The thoroughly trained man
nowadays must be college man. The
universities are using every effort to
train men along special lines for def
mite efficiency In something. The old
idea of college education as general
culture is passing away. The universi-
~ takes men rs they are and makes
the most out Of what they can do. A
man today in America t. foolish TO be
self made" when better means are at
hand. 1t is equally foolish to choose a
self taught man rs against other men
who have worked with equal zest and
force and with much better advan-
taEcs.
Formerly man Of an executive turn.
leader in business or politics. found
In a collegesaducation little that could
help him. Now he finds everything.
In the future the college men will be
the natural leaders in industrial and
political affairs. The reason is that the
men born to lead cannot afford to stay

Touching the matter of eating, the
stories told by the old chroniclers and
historians of the abnormal appetites of
certain Roman and oriental men of
note fairly stagger belief. Gibbon tells
of Soliman, n caliph in the eighth cen
fury, who died of Indigestion in his
camp near Chalcis, in Syria, just as he
was about to lead an army of Arabs
against Constantinople. He had emp
tied two baskets Of eggs and figs,
which he swallowed alternately, and
the repast was finished with marrow
and sugar. In pilgrimage to Mecca
the same callph had eaten with impu-
nifty at single meal 70 pomegranates.
a kid, G fowls and a huge quantity OF
the grapes Of Tayef.
Such statement would defy belief
were not others of similar character
well avouched. Louis XIV could hard
ly boast of an appetite as ravenous as
Solman's. but he would eat at a sitting
four platefuls of different soups, a
whole pheasant, a partridge, a plateful
of salad. mutton hashed with garlic,
two good sized slices Of ham, a dish OF
pastry and finish with fruit and sweet
meats

muscles of the chest
Reading aloud can be practiced by
all and besides being q curative act
can be pleasure and profit to both
reader and hearers. In this treatment
it is recommended that an overdose Of
medicine be avoided, that the reading
be deliberate, without being allowed
to drag, that the cnunciatioa be clear,
the body be held in an easy. unstrain-
ed upright position. so that the chest
will have free play, and that the
breathing be natural and as deep as
possible without undue effort.

WEARY WOMEN
How They May Gain New Life

Many women are doing moro worl,

worn-out nerves and build up and nour-
ish the impoverished blood. If this is
accomplished new life and energy will
soon be felt. This was the experience

She says:

perience a WORKOUT feeling. Some
times I would lie in bed for n day or so,
but my dressmaking work obliged me
to keep up, even when did not feel
able to be about. | suffered from fe-
