Signs Of Illness and Even Mental De-
preston Easily Discerned
by Experts. ,ss <a II

=s44s8
Zone who makes a close study
Of finger nails will find many curl
GUS things about them to excite
his wonder and interest says ali
expert Oh such ma tters, s.but none
more so than the stories OF. physic-
al condition told in. their growth.
Y GU know the nail of a person
in good health grows at the rate.
of about one5si1teenth Of an inch
each week-slightly more than
many authorities belieye--but
during illness or after an accident
during times of mental depres-
sion this growth is not only af-.
fected and retarded as far as
length is concerned, but also as re-
CARDS it's thickness.
The slightest illness will thus
leave an indelible mark on the
nails which may be readily detect
ed as the nail grows out. If one
has a sudden attack, such as acute
rheumatism, which sends the tenn
perature bounding upward to lO4
or los within the space of two OF
three hours, 1T will be found on the
nails, indicating the difference in
thickness of growth between the
time when health was enjoyed and
the thin growth Of the i'll period.
''lf the illness is one that comes
gradually, like typhoid fever, foI
example, instead of a ridge a gen.
tie incline will appear on thu
nails. Should one have an arm,
broken the thick ridge can be seen
on the fingers of the one hand, but
in all cases of general sickness the
ridge or slope appears on the fin
gers of both hands. When one has
passed through a period of ex-
IRENE excitement or mental de.
preston the fact will be imprint
ed on the nails either with an ali
rupt ridge or a gentle slope, ac-
cording to the acuteness of the
mental influence.
''ln no instance can the marks of
illness, accident or mental condi
ton be clearly seen on the nail un
til after the growth has carried
the line beyond the white or hal.
moon portion of it, but week o.
two subsequent to any' of these
things the ridge or slope may be-
found On the nails, usually readily
visible to. the eyes, but if not thu.
mark may be found by running thu.
tip Of the finger down any Of the
nails"

CANNON, says the W&rld Today.
That man should go out and run
around a track in shameless ma
kedness, and this with no hope of
gain, only confirms them in the
belief that all Americans are mad.
But they are initiative peaople,
and some years ago the influence
and example of the younger teach
ers got a few Of the preparatory
boys out for foot races. That day,
for Beirut, at least, the death
blow was struck to the pictur-
esque dress of the orient. You
can't run hundred-yard dash
with long, baggy drawers and a
silk gumbez that fiops around
your ankles. Even if you "gird up
tie lQins,' by tucking your skirts
into the sash, the effect is more
startling than speedy. So, one by
ore, the students ordered trousers
from the city tailors. At first
they were poorly cut and viewed
with suspicion; but to-day there
are not three men in the collegi-
ate department who wear the old
costume, and many of the stu
dents dress with taste and an eie-
gance that their professors can
not afford to emulate.
Tennis and basket ball soon
won their place in the students
favor; and now we have gymnas-
tic apparatus and regularly
graduated athletic director, who
has learned physical culture and
boy nature through a long expert
ence in the gymnasiums of Amer
lea. But it was football that did

value of team work il new idea to

was that of "every man for him
SELF" It has been so since the days
of Alcibiades and Abso!om. If it
had not been so the history of the
world might have been different.
1t was comparatively easy to see
the JOY of winning a foot race or
a tennis match; but to play an un-
theatrical part in a football! game,
obe.ying captain and working
for the good of the side; that was
a very different thing.

DOOR OF DIFFERENT RACES.
Emuvial Peculiarities of Nationali-
ties, Vegetarians, Meat-Eat-
ers and Animals,

A Japanese physician has been
making some remarkable obser-
vations among Europeans. This
doctor, observes Medical Talk,
says that Europeans have an odor
peculiar to themselves, and it is
not at all pleasant to the people Of
the orient.
This DR.. Burtaro Adacki, of JAP
an, states that the western people
have a natural odor that, while
it is not perceived by themselves,
is very perceptible to the yellow
race. The Japanese and Chinese
who take up their residence
among Europeans at first can
hardly tolerate this odor, but they
finally become habitua ted to it and
it is not so obnoxious.
Different species of animals
horses, dogs, cats, etc.-and the
different races of men possess
characteristic odor. In some
races this odor is more noticeable
than in others. The Chinese and
Japanese have little or no odorous
emanation. This is doubtless a
racial popularity, although it is
reasonable to believe that their
habits of diet may have much to
do with it, as they eat very little
meat.
1t has been claimed that among
the white races those who eat
meat can be distinguished from
the vegetarians by the emanation
from their bodies, the odor Of the
meat eater being much more pro-
nounced than that of the yegetari-
an. The Japanesea are chiefly veg
etarians and this may account for
the fact that their skin exhales
odors that. are scarcely percepti-
BILE. Then also the japanese wear
loose flowing garments, while the
white races as a rule wear more
clothing and tighter clothing, thus
producing more abundant perspi-
ration. III .=z 1854 :

Browns Busted

As a result OF a generous gift from
william Mcintosh. the prosperous
wool grower. the Albuquerque Browns
will shortly a to exist and the
team will be re.chrIstened as the AL.
buquerque Mclntoshes.
A few days ago the Browns started
out to get funds for new uniforms. The
old suits yer out and their con.
dition was such that the Browns were
afraid to leave town In them. In the
course Of the hunt the Browns ran
across Mr.. Mcintosh and told him
their troubles. He listened and took
pity. Then he reached for his check
book. The result Of the conversation
with Mr.. Intosh was that he agreed
TO foot the bills for a complete new
set Of uniforms for the team. from
caps to shoes. and the bill will not be
small by any means. 1t will be be.
tween $3.50 and $500 before the team
Is oufittted. The measures will be Ia.
ken for the new suits today.
Across the front of each Jacket will
appear the word Mcintosh" in large
black letters. while the body of the
suits will be a dark brown. which will
not show sand. as the old grey uni
forms do.--Journal.
