Milwaukee, Wis. Aug. 31.-After q
lively discussion covering the larger
part of three days the National
Fraternal congress, by a close vote,
adopted uniform fraternal insurance
bill, almost on the same substance as
prepared by the national committee.
The measure will be presented to the
legislator Of various states.
The hardest fight of the session was
made on the two clauses Of the bill
which provide for the valuation Of
certifica tes of the various orders, but
the attempt to strike out this part of
the measure failed. The fight for these
clauses was led by Attorney G. c..
League. chairman of the special COM
mittee that prepared the bill, and by
Miles NJ. Dawson of the Ancient Or
der of United Workmen. The leaders
of the opposing faction were Dr..
Oronhyate kha of Toronto, supreme
chief ranger of the Independent Order
of FOresters, and Joseph G. Root of
Oma ha, sovereign comma nder of the
WOodmen of the World.
After the vote was announced and
on calling for a roll call on the ques-
ton of adopting the bill Mr.. Root
startled the delegates by declaring the
result was 1.-The most disastrous action

The planets exercise as certain an in
f1uence upon each other as do two
pieces of wood floating upon water in
a basin. AS they fly through their pre-
scribed orbits and approach or travel
from each other they are observed to
deviate from the course which they
must have pursued but for the Increase
or the decrease of some influence Of at
traction.
By making observations of this tend
ency at various times and by compar-
ing q number of results it is possible to
weigh accurately any planet, however
vast and however distant.
All such calculations arc founded
upon the law of universal gravitation.
The mass of a planet attracts other
masses in the solar system, so that GER
tain movements result. We can Oh
serve the character of these movements
with our telescopes and ascertain their
amount, and so from our measure
ments and estimates we can calculate
the mass and weight of the planet by
which such movements have been pre-
duced

When n CaDucIlin Dies.

Death in the eyes of the Capuchin
monks is chiefly terrible reminder of
the vanities Of the flesh. Their ceme-
terry in Rome is a cellar whose walls
and ceiling are covered with the bones
of their predecessors. Skulls. ribs, thigh
bones and knuckles are arranged in
grotesque designs, and even the chan
delier is constructed Of parts of skele-
tons.
When q Capuchin dies he is buried in
loose dirt without coffin. AS there is
room for only forty bodies in this earth,
which was brought from the Holy
Land the body that has lain in it lon
gest is dug up, the skeleton is cleaned,
garmented in monkish garb and placed
in a niche To make room the oldest
skeleton in niche is dismemberod, and
it's various bones are added to complete

Was Solomon a P1agiarist.

Two thousand five hundred years be-
fore King Solomon made an alliance
with Pharaoh and $500 years before
the birth of Christ there lived in Egypt
a project, Ptah-ho-tep by name, who
was a collector of moral maXims which
were even then hoary with antiquity.
These gems of proverbial wisdom are
strikingly like those Of the wise He
brew monarch, although it must be adj
mitted they received additional luster
from his hand. These are samples Of
the Egyptian maXims, as translated III
the Literary Digest:
"Be not proud of your wisdom, but
speak to the ignorant man as you do to
the learned"
IF you must deal with an antagonist
while he is in anger and he is more
powerful than you, then bend your
neck to him."
What is this but the philosophy which
warns against the man wise in his
own conceit" and advises the ''soft an
swer that turneth away wrath?'

The Ubiuuitous Mosquito.

The mosquito wanders pretty much
all over the world, and is found from
the tropics to Lapland, where it is also
a great pest. So numerous are mos
qultoes in some localities in South
America that the wretched inhabitants
sleep with their bodies covered over
with sand three or four inches deep,
the head only being left out, which
they cover with a handkerchief. Even
thick clothes afford at best a very par
tial protection, being readily penetrat-
ed by the DrOboScis.

The popular impression is that the
Legion of Honor is the only French
decoration, but that is not at all the
case. France possesses orders quite as
ancient as those of most countries,
though the oldest of them, st. Esprit,
st. Michel, ST Louis and st. Hubert,
dating from the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries. are no longer conferred.
Since the Legion of Honor which was
founded in 1902 by the first consul and
modified by statute in 1916 and 1852,
there have been established no fewer
than seven decorations. The Legion is
the only honor that can be bestowed on

The Second Whip.

Have you ever noticed, says writer
in a London journal, that some tanners
carry a second whip in their left hand,
which is never used? There is purpose
in this. 1t represents to the wild beast
the terrors of the unknown. He has ex-
perienced the sharp, singing flick Of
the whip in the tanners right hand, but
for the life of him he cannot imagine
what anguish turks in that mysterious
whip in the other hand, which is never
used. Many a tanner has saved his life
in a critical moment by just lifting that
unknown terror above a crouching,
growing, fury maddened tiger.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
ONE plants grow better than
,thers. Soil may be the same
nd seed may seem the same
out some plants are weak and
)thers strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
,.asy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
.arvation, not because Of lack
+ fcod, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
I'D gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.
