Some Expressions That Are Contin-

uously Overworked.
1t Is really time to compile a black
fist Of words and phrases that have
gest their immediate expulsion. Those
that appear on the blacklist should be
unable-for three years at least-to OBJ
tain printers ink at any printing office
in the United Kingdom. Dizziness and
monotony have some excuse. We
should blacklist the "well-earned rest
and the ''scene of her former tri-
umphs." the young lady of progresses
ing appearance" the ample justice
that it done to the viands beneath
which the tables literally groaned,"
and the wedding presents that are "nu-
merous and costly;'' but we admit their
use in u world where time is money
and lines are a penny; these habitual
offenders might, after some years alb
stention from ink, be considered to
have purged their offense. Much more
annoying Is the attempt at absurd or
namentation, the struggle against taut-
ology and preposterous pinnacles Of
language. Why should 1t be necessary
when DR.. Johnson has been mentioned
twice, to call him at the third allusion
the great photographers" 1t has no
longer any possible relation with John
sons reputation, which rests now on
the careful chatter of Boswell. With
the great photographer must pass into
obscurity tie Swan of Avon" the
Wizard of the North" and the Sage
Of Chelsea The phrases ring through
the papers with the maddaning itera-
ton of the latest popular tune that the
whistle of the street boy catches from
the piano organ, which gets it from
heaven knows where. To the list, too,
must be added that infuriating begin
ming of a paragraph, ut is interesting
to note" If it were not interesting
there would be no excuse for noting it.

Nd England and California Are Gem
ters of Mental Derangement.
a recent lecture delivered before
thd National Geographical Society at
Wilmington DIR. William A. White, di-
redor of the Binghamton branch of the
Na York insane asylum, devoted
mrYh attention to the geographical dis
trill1tion of insanity. At the outset of
hisR ecture DR.. White produced certain
fadB and figures showing that beyond
a 9ubt insanity was increasing much
mof rapi lily than the population. Tho
cadye of tlis, he said, was due to hered-
ity. that is to say, the unrestricted
marrying of those tainted with insan-
ity,l and to the fact of this country be-
ingthe dumping ground for the trash of
Eubpe. In support of his latter asser-
tioIl he quoted figures showing that 2a
per cent of the $4,000 insane persons
confined in New York asylums were Of
foreign birth.
IEanity was most prevalent, he
statd, in regions where competition
wal strongest and where the struggle
for'existence ragged the fiercest. Thus
the TWO great centers of insanity in the
United States were, he said. New Eng
.lan4, where there is one insane person
for livery $50 inhabitants, and Califor-
nia where there is one lunatic for every
3S0beople.
The region of least insanity, he stated,
wal that section of the West from the
Rockies to the Mississippi, comprising
the great agricultural and stock-raising
bell. He showed that insanity was un-
known among the Indians, and almost
SO among the Southern negroes, al
though in the North, where the negro
comes in competition with white labor.
his suicide rate runs to a high point.
DR.. White presented some figures
which seem to indicate that of all occu-
pat ions that of agriculture is the least
liable to produce insanity. The popula-
ton of mining and lumber camps had a
relatively high rate of insanity, where
as In all farming sections it was ex-
cee@ingly low.
I1 conclusion, he stated that the prin.
cipAl causes and agents of insanity
we1 e alcoholism, mental worry, despair,
disappointment and all the other pains
that affiict the mind in a highly civil
ICED state, where the struggle for exist
encf is sharp and pitiless.

where else, and If there happened to
be a chasm where Mr.. Wright believed
a grove would have a more picturesque
effect, why the chasm had to be filled
up and trees planted over it.
He had two artificial lakes con

islands. Beneath the surface of one of
these stretches of water. he built q

by the appearance in Loring park OF a

EVERYTHING
Depends on Food.

How often the kind of food eaten
determines IA question of future health
and happiness or even life or death.
Our little girl when but five weeks
old had to undergo a very severe oper-
alton which left her unable to take her
nourishment in the natural way. that
is by nursing and of course she had to
be fed. She was naturally frail and the
food did not help her. AT the age of
eleven weeks she was subject to a
second operation, and from that time
she continued to grow thinner and
weaker until she was but mere shad-
ow.' so writes a lady of Ohio.
I'VE tried many kinds of infant foods
and then the doctor directed us to try
Grape Nuts. We did so and at the end
of the first week noticed an improve
ment and after that she began to i'm
prove rapidly. AS we continued to
give her Grape Nuts she kept gaining
until she is now more than two years
old and strong and healthy. Her main
food has always been Grape Nuts and
to Grape Nuts she owes her life. Ma
turally we are firm friends of the food
and never lose an opportunity to speak
good word for it Name given by
