New York Sun: To take a mile run
daily, as a man in training would do It.,
is the best way in the world for q girl
to get color into her cheeks and sparkle
into her eyes.
IF girls would turn their attention
to running, they would find X the most
exhilarating pastime in the world, rs

Let her take a brisk run daily, be-
ginning with a few yards, and getting
up tor a mile or ~thereabouts, and she
will not need to resort to q diet-that

If a run cannot be taken daily out Of
doors, the running track found at ev-
cry well equipped gymnasium should be
utilized. A run out Of doors, however,
is the ideal practice. for fresh air is
one OF the important factors Of the
sport. It is fresh air that gives a girl
bewitching color in her cheeks and
purifies every drop of blood in her
body.
After a little practice n girl can run
half u mile without stopping. Then
let her pause for a two-minute rest
before doing the next half mile. Run
briskly, but not at top speed. Without
question, one Of the best exercises in
the world for girls IS running. 1t con-

CURIOUS FOOD COMPOUND
Old Bones, Alur'. Flint and Sulphuric
Acid for Raising Bread.

Housekeepers ave recently beer So
lcited by some of the grocers and by
peddlers to try another kind OF baking
powder-"cheap n just as good"
as they say. This is another scheme
of some baking powder manufacturer
to get a new brand on the market by
offering the grocer a large profit.
Housekeepers are not usually much
benefited by such changes. Alum bak-
ing powders are generally low priced,
but they are well known to be detri-
mental to health. Large quantities OF
n of them were recently seized in
New York, being found TO be largely
composed Of sharp-pointed grains OF
ground flint and sulphuric acid!
Most Of the so-called phosphate pow
ders are mixed with alum The anu
facturer Of Il phosphate powder has
patented the process OF making the
principal ingredient OF his powder from
bones digested with sulphuric acid.
Housekeepers do not a such mix

1.-THE cHlLDREN's CARDINAL"
Some Quaint Anecdotes Concerning

Temple Bar Of London: Here is an as

lectlng funds was to make 1t a children's
movement throughout. Some of his most
| energetic helpers, in fact, were mites in
the East End and the poorer parts OF
London.
SO the children set to work with coi-
| lectlng cards and money boxes, and when
the great day came, In each school rep
| resentatives were chosen and sent TO the
dingy old house, with the proverbially
dirty windows, at the bottom Of Car
Isle place. The bright faced young ennis
saries trooped in from north, south, east
and west, the girls gay with colored hair
ribbons, the boys In all the agony OF
clean collars and faces. A steady stream
flowed up the broad staircase, familiariy
known as 1.-THE quarter deck" and all
were on the tip toe OF expectation as the
clock struck 4 and his eminence sailed
in, literally shining with happiness of be-
ing so near them at last. Directly he be-
gan to address them 1t was apparent to
the most casual observer that he had "a
way with him" which took the child>
heart captive at once.
1t had clearly been Impressed upon
them, by anxious teachers. that on no ac-
count were they to let go OF their little
bags, and so firmly was this idea rooted
in their minds that they declined to give
them up even to the cardinal. They

even for the sake of this fascinating per-

their money. So the cardinal had to
gently force open their tiny fists for their
hot crumpled contents, explainingly kind>
ly that they were really meant for him.
Some of us feared an outburst Of tears,
but every baby took his loss philosoph.-
cally and toddled away in puzzled resig-

One little girl, who + d lost her big
brother in the crowd, fought her way
back through the crush alone, and, scorn-

HEIRS May NOW
SELL THEIR LANDS
An Important Decision in
Will Case Involving a
Large Estate.
a VERY PECULIAR CLAUSE
MAJ Contested by Heirs in South Da.
kota-The Will Gave a Life Estate
Which Barred Right of Sale in
This State, Now Decided.

Huron, S. D., Dec. 21.-A case OF
much importance and involving many
thousands of dollars worth of proper
ty, has just been decided by Judge
Charles s.. Whiting of the Ninth judi
cial circuit, South Dakota, and Is
known as the Hoge will case, which
overs $4,000 acres Of land in South
Dakota valued at 81, ZOO. 900. Mr.. Hoge
was a resident of Illinois, and his will
was drawn in that state and covers
property In Illinois, Iowa, North Da-
kota, Indiana and other states, in adj
dition to the 2S, 900 acres of land in
South Dakota Under the will Mr..
Hoge sought to give only a life estate
in this property to his ~grandsons. The
will was drawn under the laws of Illi-
nois and is believed by experienced
attorneys to be valid so far as it af-
fects property in states other thar
North and South Dakota. The will
was contested by the grandchildren Of
deceased, who were also the heirs, be-
fore Judge Charles s. Whiting of the
Ninth judicial district, South Dakota.
His decision is to the effect that the
will is void under the laws of South
Dakota. because IL attempts to restrain
the power of sale OF real estate during
a period longer.than the lives OF per-
sons in being at the time of the death
OF the testator, and he therefore holds
that the grandchildren w acquired,
not merely n life estate in the $4,000
acres Of land in South Dakota, but
AVE acquired as heirs, a fee simple
title and have full power to sell and
convey their interest. Charles f..
Hatcher of Sioux Falls, S. D., and Isaac
i. Hatcher of Morris, Ill, are the
grandchildren and heirs at law in his
action and have therefore become the
owners of the fee simple title to all the
lands in North and South Dakota. L.
s. G. Cherry of Sioux Falls was attor-
ney for the heirs, and j.. l.. O'Donnell
Of Joliet. H., and G.. j.. Morris of Sioux
Falls were the attorneys for the other
parties to the suit. 1t is understood
hat the decision of Judge Whiting

South Dakota lands. but does not at

Interesting Scenes While voyagins in
the Gulf of Mexico.

New Orleans Times-Democrat: Watch
Ing the flying fish IN the Gulf OF Mexico Is
one OF the favorite past,mes Of persons
who make the voyage ecross the gulf for
the first time, and the habit is not an un-
interesting one. for tnere Is much TO be
learned. much that is new and attractive
TO the stranger. There Is something par
ticularly fascinating about the flying fish
In the Gulf of Mexico.
During a trip recently we ran into great
schools OF them betwee here and Vera
Cruz, and IL was difficult not to believe at
these times that they were simply making
sport Of the big vessel that was blowing
through the blue waters OF the gulf. They
would dart across the bow OF the ship,
scamper this way and that. and seemed
TO be IN a playful mood all the while.
They looked like animated sprays, mere
flashes and splashes of water: now taking
this form, now that; now shooting along
with the course of the ship: now bounding
out from the vessels side, and all the
while apparently conscious of the fact
that men and women were watching
them. They seemed TO take somewhat of
pleasure from the enjoyment OF the hui
man beings. But, OF course, they were
busy with other problems. 1t was not a
pleasant business either. 1t was a matter
of life and death with them. They were
being pursued by their m The
ohIy way tney could escape was by leav-
ing the water for a while. The enemy
has not learned this little trick OF flying,
and. consequently could not follow when
the flying fish spread their wings and
scared In the air for n while.
1t Is remarkable what distances these
delicate members can go on their poorly
trained wings. j have seen them fly as
far as two city blocks. They are inter
esting little fellows. and they always
draw the attention of the tourist and the
stranger In gulf waters.

From report of Hon. e. g. Madden,

Femittances in the mails has grown to
enormous proportions. The result Is
that the department loses heavily. not

flight back to the reservation of, a doz-

the noise of Il charivari party meant an
attack on them by their white brothers,
recalls how bout twenty years ago
the white settlers thirty miles north Of
here fled for their lives, believing the
Indians were after them, when the
cause was'a charivali party making life
a burden for n newly married German
couple. A neigh0or a mile ava heard
the unearthly noise. He FASTENED to
the next neighbor with the news that
the red devils were attacking the Ger
man family. and to flee for their lives.
As the news spread the people made
for the nearest railway stations. 1t
was several days before the truth was
learned, the settlers fearing to return
to their homes, and when they did re-
turn to the settlement they were ac-

SCHOOL FUND IN USE.
Total Amount Of This Money Nov,
Drawing Interest Is 81. GOO 900.

Pierre, s. D., Dec. 21.-The condition
OF the state school fund at the end Of
the year is one which should be most
gratifying to the people of the state.
The total amount which IS now draw
ing interest is, in round numbers,
4 900, 900, and not a CEN lying idle in
the treasury. OF his fund approxi-
mately 81, 500, 900 is loaned to the various
counties of the state; $1,344, 500 deferred
payments on sales of school lands.
which Is not yet due, and $224,979 Of
past due deferred payments on sales Of
lands. These past due payments are
amply secured to the state, and the de-
partment is making no effort to push
collection, but prefers to allow them to
run. for the reason that so long as they
are unsolicited they draw the old inter-
est rate of 6 per cent, and as soon as
paid they would have to be reloaned at
the new rate of ) per cent.
The income u the LIST of January,
which can be applied to the expenses OF
school work, is 1921, O16.G5. divided into
$40, 631 As, interest on deferred pay
ments; $144. 6 .49, rentals due, and
81, S15.65 past due interest on deferred
payments. That last item is one Of
special interest to the people, and a
splendid showing for the state, when
the amount Of delinquent interest on \
fund of over 81, 800, 600, which has been
running for several years. is less than
5000. What private business Of the
same magnitude could make such a
showing? This can be attributed to the
general excellence OF the financial con-
dltion in which South Dakota farmers
find themselves, in large part, and also
TO the hustling qualities OF Commission

Stimulants and Nerves.

Golfers Weekly: The canteen l.
defended by medical authorities
and by leading army officers,
and opposed mainly by people to
whom temperance is a matter less OF
scientific than of scmi-religious
thought; and the army canteen is the
only national temperance issue ct pres
cnt, although states and towns are eX-
perimentiug with various aspects of
prohibition and license. We have just
been reading some Italian statistics
which undertake to show that children
with nervous diseases are usually the
issue of parents who drink. The statis-
tician found that 80 per cent. of the
children whom he examined were alb
normal nervously, q fact which he at
tributed in part to the stress of modern
life, but more especially to stimulants
taken by the parents. and among slim
ulants primarily alcohol. Facts. as he
remarks, are more eloquent than De-
mosthenes, and he is satisfied hat the
facts connect drinking with the ner-
vous diseases which he deems peculiar
to our times. Actually the evidence
about the effects of stimulants in mod
GRAFTON is still insufficient. That drink
is a frightful evil nobody denies.
Whether TO the temperate nature slim
ulants in general, coffee. TEA. liquor. to-
bacco, are good or evil, is far from
proved. People living amid the city
rush, in the ente of excitement, APP
parently live as long as their relatives
in the country, n are as likely to be
healthy. Nervous diseases may be less
the product of modern haste than the
discovery of modern science. We are
all the time discovering new diseases,
and all the time the death rate grows
less. We live longer as we understand
more. While it is clear, therefore, that
%stimulants of any kind are dangerous,
it is not clear that diseases are
more frequent than they were before
they were discovered, and 1t is not clear
that the general excitement of life is
unhealthy.

INGENIOUS TALKING MACHINE

mans Invention.

Has Lips and Teeth and is a French
mans Invention.
Sketch: A talking machine that has
treated no little sensation is that just pro-
lluced by DIR. r. Marage, a well known
member Of the French Academy Of Medi-
Zine. 1t is an interesting device, which
I~eproduces with perfect accuracy tho
sounds of the human voice, not, as in
case of the monograph, by merely re-
heating words by a person, but by a
process which is purely mechanical from
start to finish, and in which no word is
, spokcn by any human being. The sounds
are produced by a system OF vibration.
ATTACHED to the machine are a series of
nlaster heads, five in all, representing the
live vowels, a, @. 1 o, II. They are each q
berfect model of a persons mouth, fitted
with pl.able lips and perfect teeth Air
currents set in motion by the machine are
made to pass through the dummy mouths.
which are fitted will sirens.
Through his invention DR.. Marage has
discovered tina the steam sirens used on
board ships can be so constructed as to
initiate certain sounds. Thus different
phonetic syllables may be obtained which
Eould be used TO form an international al
bhabet. BY an ingenious contrivance at
lachcd to his wonderful instrument it
IS possible to see reflected in a tiny mir
ror the vocal chords Of a singer.
BY the same device one can also trace
Cheir action, and see how, as the note
| gets higher, the aperture between them
becomes less and less, until when the top
note - reached it is almost closed. AS
the force Of air current expelled becomes
stronger the opening decreases in size. 1t
increases as the force becomes less. The
smaller the aperture the greater the vi
bration. This Is how human beings get
their singing voices. There is no mys-
terry about it," declares DR.. Manage. at
is a purely mechanical process, based on
known laws of higher mechanics"
