GROW FOR MANY YEARS.
Not Until Fifty Does Man Stop In
creasinq His Stature.


creasing His Stature.
Recent statistics have proved that
| mans stature increases up to the age
of fifty years. This is refutation of
the former belief, according to which
men stopped growing at twenty-five or
twenty-three.
Boys and girls" said a surgeon,
wary oddly in the rapidity of their
growth. The fastest growth expert.
enced in life comes between the ages
of one and five. Boys and girls grow
about equally here.
From five to ten the boys outstrip
the girls, but from ten to fifteen the
girls outstrip the boys. At eleven and
fourteen the girls are the boys superb
ors in hight, and from ten to fifteen
they are the boys superiors in weight
But between sixteen and twenty
the boys forge ahead, taking at that
age lead which they never again re-
linquish. The boys cease their per-
ceptible growth at twenty-three; the
girls cease theirs at twenty.
From twenty-three onward to fifty.
men, however, continue to grow-nc
observations have been made on wom
en-though this growth is. of course
slight. They also increase slowly in
weight; but from fifty to sixty their
weight increases very rapidly.
Male strength increases most
markedly from the age of twelve to
that of nineteen; from nineteen to thir.
ty 1t increases more slowly. From
thirty onward it begins very slowly tc
decline.
Female strength increases most
rapidly from nine to nineteen; then
slowly to thirty; and after thirty the
decline begins"-Stray Stories.

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with tho new
things OF everyday use in the market
and who is reasonably satisfied with
the old, we would suggest that a trial
of Defiance Cold Water Starch be
made at once. Not alone because 1t
Is guaranteed by the manufacturers
to be superior to any other brand.
but because each 10c package con-
tains 16 ozs.. while all the other kinds
contain but 12 ozs. 1t Is safe to say
that the lady who once uses Defiance
Starch will use no other. Quality

The Panama Canal.


Just as we expected, the Panama
canal is not dug yet. Early in the
spring we advanced a practical and
wonderfully cheap plan for accom-
plishing the work.
We felt the inward fussing of de
sire for vacation working in us, and
reasoned that the same leaven was
fermenting in thousands and thou.
sands of other men.
Now what we advised was to ere
ate a great furore about the fishing
in the immediate vicinity of the pro-
posed canal, attract all the fishermen
to South America and upon their ar
rival, set them to digging bait along
the canal route The immense amount
of labor expended every summer dig
ging worms, if corraled and crystal
lied, would dig the Panama canal in
one fishing season. The cost to the
government would be really immateri-
al, and the worm hunters would just
as soon dig in one place as another.
We outlined this plan, as above
stated, early in the spring, but for
some unknown reason the government
has not seen fit to adopt it. The re-
suit Is, the bait-digging season for the
open year is about - done, and no
prospect of getting up enthusiasm
over buried treasure is in evidence.
Now the government will be COM
PEELED to pay out great sums of money
to construct the waterway, but it's
good enough for it. Hereafter when |
diagnose a saving of several million
dollars to this nation, the government
will jump at the proposition as ward
politician jumps at growler. 1t is
the fate of a great thinker to be ig-
nored for time, but sooner or later
the biographers of this country will
invite him to buy book in which his
picture is printed. This is the history
of all great men, and we are always
willing to incite history to do her
worst.

SAGE DROVE BARGAIN.
Then Made NeiRhbor Pay for Ride In
Work of Hired Man.


Russell Sage has not squandered
very much on clothes and personal lux
uries during his long life, still he has
spent some pretty large sums on
horses, his love of which has amount
ed to almost passion. Some time
ago he paid $4,000 for a team OF trot-
tiers for use at his country place on
Long Island and the first time he was
TO drive them he asked Frank Tilford,
who was n neighbor of his, to go with
him. How Uncle Russell made the ro
tund rilford pay for his outing is still
told with great glee throughout the
countryside.
After driving little way n team
was seen approaching drawing a load
Of salt hay out from the meadows
along the shore. Immediately said
Sage:
Il am paying too much money for
bedding for my horses. Now Wen see
what this man wants for his load of
hay"
So the stranger was stopped and the
aged financier began negotiations.
What do you want for that load of
hay?"
Five dollars" was the reply.
"Fiye dollars? said Sage. why 1t
Is not worth cent more than three.
1t does not cost you anything; all you
have to do Is to cut It,"
Well" replied the farmer, st takes
a good half days work. and the use
Of my horses and wagon"
But Sage would not pay IS. 80 a com.
promise was made for 81 for the load
delivered.
Where shall | leave it?" said the
farmer.
AT Frank Tilford's," said Uncle
Russell. and, turning to Tilford, as
they drove on, he said:
You see. Frank. IL he knew that
hay was for Russell Sage he would
not let it go for less than 81. And, by
the way, when he leaves 1t at your
place, just let your man bring it over
to my barn."-Mail and Express.

Powerful Chinese Drugs.

II have always heard that Chinese
medicines are very powerful" said the
city salesman, but l never had any
idea what a tremendous effect they
were capable of producing on the sys-
tenn till saw Deyers street China
man take pill the other day, and
then | realized that one dose Of ce-
lestial compound can safely be war
ranted to kill or cure. Never in my
born days did see such pill How
on earth the fellow ever got it down
is a mystery. 1t was fully as big as
a pigeons egg, and, SO the patient told
me afterward, fearfully bitter.
Upon inquiry found that that was
fair sample Of most Chinese reme-
dies. No matter what the nature OF
the medicine, 1t is generally made up
into enormous pills, whose naturally
bad taste is modified by nothing but
a little licorice These pills are inclos-
ed in wax capsules which preserve
them from the air and keep them from
being broken to pieces before their
time. Aside from the pills the only
remedies used by orthodox Chinese In
New York are a medicinal oil which
they rub on the temples to cure head
ache, and a liquid made by boiling
down the leaves, stems, seeds and
roots of certain plants In a quantity OF
drinking water.
According TO my Doyers street au-
thority," continued the salesman, ac-
cording to the New York Times, this
fluid medicine Is even worse than the
pills, for 1t has to be cooked till 1t Is
almost like syrup and drunk scald-
