serious concerns of life.

YOUR MIDDAY MEAL.

Do you realize that your food makes
or mars your health; and that you
must make your choice of good blood
or poor blood yourself?
You may be pretty and sweet and
fresh looking now, but IL you do not
eat the proper food you will fade
quickly and lose your strength. says
the Cincinnati Inquirer.
At every restaurant choice may
be made between substantial. health
giving food and frivolous, harmful
food.
Brown bread is better investment
than white, for 1t produces more en-
ergy. Baked beans. lima beans. peas
and corn. and hash (when not cooked
greasily) build up your muscles and
add to your strength.
Cheese and nuts eaten with bread
and butter are both nourishing and
inexpensive. They are heavy food,
and should be eaten as such at the
end of the meal.
Tomatoes and sDinsch make good
red blood-they are as good as iron
tonic. Apples, too. are regular stor-
age batteries for iron, and eaten with
nuts and a glass Of milk make good
lunch.
Fruit, uncooked. or made into
sauces, or pies, are good for you at
noon. but they will not sustain you
during an afternoons hard work.
Invest your money every noon In
something which will count for your
comfort during the rest of the day.
Make your own choice for each day
You are building the future.

About thirty acres are given up to
an exhibit of the North American In

A large space is devoted to the aerial

main entrance to the Exposition will
let the visitor into the centre Of this
group. AS each building covers from
eight to fifteen acres and contains
several miles of aisles, lined on either
side by most interesting exhibits, the
visitor will see his time slipping away
with world of things yet remaining
to be seen.
The Government has spent more on
this Exposition than it has ever ex-
pended before. First. it gave $5,0O0.OOO
to the general fund of the Exposition,
upon consideration that the city of st.
Louis would raise $1O,000,000. This
of course was promptly done. Then,
the Government appropriated nearly
a million and : half more for buildings
and exhibits, and a few weeks ago de-
cided to make loan of S4.600.000 to
the Exposition in order to have the
elaborate plans carried out to their
completeness. The Government can
not lose much on this investment at
st. Louis. for the reason that st. Louis
returns in internal revenue taxes for
the Eastern half of Missouri alone,

N.RAYs AND DIGESTION.
This Process Causes Their Emission, as
Does Muscular Activity.

This Process Causes Their Emission, as
Does Muscular Activity.
That the processes of digestion, as
we'll as mental and muscular activity,
seem to cause the emission of N-rays,
is the conclusion reached by NJ. Lam
bert, in France, after series of inter-
esting experiments. He believes that
these curious rays are produced by
ferments, especially by those con-
cerned in the digestion of albuminoid
matter In his experiments ON diges-
ton. says a writer in Harper's Week
ly. NJ. Lambert placed small quantity
of fbrin in tubes containing in one
case activated pancreatic juice, and
in another artificial gastric Juice made
by mixing five per cent. solution Of
pepsin with four per cent. solution
of hydrochlOric acid. From these
tubes the Mays were emitted. and
were detected not only by producing
increased luminescence of a phos-
phorescent screen, but also photo
graphically. thus removing the SUBJ
jectfve element from the experiment.
AS a result of these experiments, M.
Lambert believes that in the course
of digestion the fibrin undergoes
strains which act to produce N-rays.

ADVICE TO GIRLS.

Take matters of taste. When you
ire tempted to forget yourself and
remp like a tomboy, and shrek at
he top of your voice; when you are
liable to be led astray by the red
indian taste for loud colors; when
he taste for too much jewelry seizes
IN you as it Is sure to do some times,
recall the Factor of Safety. and stop.
Then repeat slowly to yourself those
,ther lines of Burns which all the
world knows by heart:
oh wad some power the giftie gle us
To see oursels as ithers see us!"
To go up the scale, take matters o.
study or of work. If you are in
sc lool, it is not enough to make your
teacher believe that you know your
lessons. You must feel that you know
chem, that no matter what test you
may be put to, there will still be a
Factor of Safety between you and
failure. If you are practicing music
don't cut the hour by FIVE minutes.
Take FIVE minutes overtime instead,
That Is the Factor of Safety in prac-
ticing. II you are sewing. take every
stitch so that it might be part of
an exhibit of needlework. What is
right can never be criticised. What
is wrong, no matter how cleyerly
concealed, is in danger. The Factor
If Safety is the margin between
shrewdly hidden inefficiency and eff
lency. If you are reading, under
stand what you read. When some one
leads you into talking of what you
have read, and that time is sure TO
come, II 1t has been worth reading,
you always want to have Factor of
Safety between you and a glaring dis
play of ignorance.
Let me apply the same idea to mat
tiers of morals. You detest such and
such girl because she almost never
tells the truth. Never forget her
when you are tempted into what are
called white lies. Truth and false
hood have each a hundred phases.
The temptations to untruth are mani
fold. They come to you almost every
day. You cannot set your standard
too high No deception is too petty
to be avoided; in fact, the petty ones
are often the most demoralizing.-
