STILL GROWING.
Not Until SO Does a Man Stop In
creasing His Stature.

creasing His Stature.
Recent statistics have proved
that mans stature increases up to
the age of so years. This is ref
utation of the former belief, ac-
eording to which men stopped
growing at % or 90, says Stray
Stories.
"Boys and girls" said a sur
geon, wary oddly in the rapidity
of their growth. The fastest
growth experienced in life comes
between the ages Of l and 5. Boys
and girls grow about equally here.
"From 5 to 10 the boys outstrip
the girls, but from 10 to 10 the
girls outstrip the boys. At IL and
IA the girls are the boys superiors
in height, and from 10 to Is they
are the boys superiors in weight.
"But between 16 and 20 the boys
forge ahead, taking at that age a
lead which they never relinquish.
The boys cease their perceptible
growth at %; the girls cease theirs
at 20.
"From % onward to so, men,
however, continue to grow-no OBJ
servations have been made on
women-though this growth is, of
course, slight. They also increase
slowly in weight; but from so to
60 their weight increases very rap
idly.
"Male strength increases most
markedly from the age of IL to
that of 10; from 10 to 80 it in,
creases more slowly. From 80 on.
ward it begins very slowly to de,
cline.
"Female strength increases
most rapidly from 8 to 10; then
slowly to 80; and after 80 the de-
cline begins"

Sober or Drunk.

George W. Young, of George

He said saloons were being stamped
out gradually and that "the time
had come in that State when it was
actually believed that man had
as much sense sober as he had when

Looks Easy, But IL IL Not, Ssys
Suburbanite Who Knows

"Running a lawn mower is like
playing tennis. 1t looks mighty
easy, but it is not" Ifthe speaker
had expected any one to disagree
says the Washington Star, with
him he was disappointed, for his
profound observation was ne.
ceived in entire silence hy the
group of men who sat on the porch
of a country house.
"If lawn mowers were recent in
ventions,r remarked one OF the
group in a sort Of dreamy, spcco.
Iative fashion, ''you might expect
to hear a variety Of opinions on
the statement just made, for nat
urally at such a period in the his
tory Of the Introduction of an in
vention but few persons have had
an opportunity to gain any prac.
teal experience. Their IDEAS would
be based on pictures they had seen
of the pleasing episode in the life
of the happy suburbanite. There
he is shown by the gifted artist as
having returned home after an
arduous day in the hot city. He is
greeted at the porch by his wife,
wearing the latest thing in sum-
mer gowns and locking az as x K she she
hadnot a care in the world. About
her are the children, also in stylish
summer apparel.
''They are waiting to see the
husband and father run the lawn
mower, the excitement in their
day, and not to disappoint their
fond anticipations, he seizes the
handles and starts gayly off,
cheercd On by the smiles of his
adoring family. That is the pic
ture of a seraphic lawn mower on
a lawn that was not made with
human hands. The handle does
not seek to penetrate the con-
tented abdomen of the prosperous
citizen, nor do it's knives skip over
patches Of grass without scarcely
leaving a trace behind. In fact,
there is quite a catalogue Of
virtues of the ideal machine
which the one the average man
has to use does not have"
Then it rs your OPINION" said
the first speaker, "that the real
character of the lawn mower is
generally known?7
"There is no doubt about that"
was the reply. 'AThe fact is that
the machine is SO thoroughly un-
derstood that its use is now con-
fined only to those who know
enough to handle it without reduc-
ing it to such condition that it
can be sent to the shop for repairs
before it can be operated again.
However, it is a useful and in
nocent form of taking exercise,
and, like everything Of the sort,
has it's brief day as form of rec
reation or even of work of
amateurs"

Feed pale girls on SCOTS

We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength

The fact that it is the best

to why it does what it does.

yesterday was appointed commander of the

of the republic of Panama, left here last

DEATHS FROM TETANUs CAUSE OP-
POSITION TO VACCINATION.
Several Physicians Say There Is No
Real Smallpox in Lafayette-Un-
usual Case Of LOckjaw.
to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Nov. 6.-Lafayette
physicians are divided over the question Of
vaccination and the growing opposition 20
the process has led many to declare that
the present epidemic of so-called smallpox
in the city is not smallpox at all. but a
mild form of varioloid. Thus far not a
single case has prove fatal in spite of the
fact that more than $50 cases nave been
known to exist at one time. Many regard
the School Boards vaccination order as
unwise, and the deaths of Leonard Clark
and Georgia King from lockjaw as the
result of vaccination has served to greatly
strengthen the opposition.
One doctor declared to-day that there has
not been a single case of continent or COM
plete smallpox in the city within the past
two years. He says the death rate from
real smallpox is generally So per cent,
whereas in. me present epidemic it is moth
ing. Both the medical fraternity and UNI
professional people are concerned" he con-
tinued, "and it is not right TO compel vacci-
nation at public expense. Many children
are excluded from the schools because they
are in poor health, and their parents will
not allow LIEN to be vaccinated. Scores of
children have been sent home in violation
of the compulsory education law"
The patients now in the pesthouse are not
seriously sick. nor has any of them been
considered in a dangerous condition.

has entirely deserted him, heard the SEN
tence without a movement OF feature or out
ward suggestion OF emotion.

borne, Parks's counsel. said that he would
in all probability appeal. lat that no certifi-
cate OF reasonable doubt would be applied

day following his second conviction for
