WardinE or Old Are.

A famous French general when ask
ed how ii was that he had such an erect
carriage replied that it was because he
bent over and touched the floor with
his fingers thirty times every day. If
he had acquired rigidity of the spine
so that he could not do that he would
have had with it weak abdominal mus
cles, which result in portal congestion.
This portal congestion interferes with
stomach digestion and with the action
of the liver, The poison destroying
power of the liver is lessened, auto in
toxication results, and arteriosclerosis
and old age come on at much earlier
day. But by keeping the spine flexible
and the abdominal muscles strong and
taut the portal circulation is kept free,
and old age Is held off-Good Health.

fecny separated in the sections and

the peel about one-third of the way

serve thus divided and prepared. The
fruit is attractive, refreshing, whole

orally speaking, the pomelo seems to be
cross between a shaddock and a
good orange, but it is more hardy than
either. 1t has better keeping qualities
than the orange.

ten feet" If cubit is twenty-one
inches, Goliath of Gath was eleven feet
nine inches in height; If it is eighteen
inches he was Just the size of the
Arabian giant, Gabura, who was nine

Jew who stood ten feet two. Kinto-
lochus Rex was fifteen feet six inches

inches long and eight and half broad.
Patrick O'Brien was eight feet seven
Turner, the naturalist, says he saw in
Brazil a giant twelve feet in height
But Og, king of Bashan, held the rec

5000 years and walked beside the Ark
during the food. One of his bones
formed bridge over a river.

We may hear it said of one who is

che Is in the doldrums," but many who

its real significance. The region Of
calms is belt which stretches across
the Atlantic and Pacific almost on a
line with the equator Here meet the
north and south trade winds, and
squalls and heavy rains are frequent,
but the characteristic of this region,
which is known also as the doldrums,
is an oppressive calm. The name now

A Gold Plated Lot.

A parcel of land in New York's
financial district sold for nearly
5000 a square foot the other day, and
this is said to be the record price in
the western hemisphere. Cover it
with silver dollars and you can have
it," said the owner to a young man
who was seeking to make real estate
sales 40 years ago. He took the pro-
position seriously, and figuring up
the cost on this basis accepted the
proposition. When the owner exam
ined the figures and found them too
low, he said that he meant the silver
dollars should be piled on edge. Ten
years ago the same man was told
again that he could have the property
if he covered it with gold dollars. A
skyscraper will occupy the place, as
it will be the only form of building
that will offer sufficient rent space
for a profit.

AIDS NATURES WORK
EFFECT OF AcETYLENE RAYS ON
GROWTH OF PLANTS.

Grow To Twice Actual Weight Of Those
Exposed TO Sunlight Only - Latest
Victory For This Now and Beautiful
IIiuminant.
The experiments recently made nj
Cornell University prove that the beau
tiful rays from the gas, acetylene, are
as effective as sunlight on the growth
of plants, and this may soon become
subject for serious consideration by all
progressive cultivators of the soil.
The results of the experiments are
astonishing, inasmuch as they show
concluslvely the great increase OF
growth attained by supplementlng
"The Light of Nature" with "Tbe Light
OF Acetylene" during the hours In
which the plants would otherwise be

number Of radishes given daylight only,
all other conditions being equal, and
peas had blossomed and partially ma
tured pods with the help of acetylene
light, while without the added light
not even buds were apparent.
Acetylene is already taking Its place
as an illumlnant for towns from CEN
tral plant, for lighting houses, churches,
schools and isolated buildings OF all
kinds, and it is being used successfully
for many other purposes.
A striking and important feature OF
acetylene is the ease and small expense
with which it can be made available
compared with the great advantages
derived from its use. The machine in
which the gas'is generated is easily in

CHANGED HUSBAND.
Wife Made Wise Change in Food.

Change of diet is the only way to
really cure stomach and bowel trouble.
A woman says:
"My husband had dyspepsia when we
were married and had suffered from it
for several years. 1t was almost i'm
possible to find anything he could eat
without bad results.
81 thought this was largely due to
the use of coffee, and persuaded him to
discontinue it. He did so, and began to
drink Postum Food Coffee. The change
did him good from the beginning, his
digestion improved; he suffered much
less from his nervousness, and when
he added Grape-Nuts food to his diet
he was soon entirely cured.
"My friend, Mrs. - --, of Nicks-
burg (my former home), had become a
nervous wreck also from dyspepsia.
Medicines had no effect, neither did
travel help her. On my last visit home,
some months ago, l persuaded her to
use Grape-Nuts food. She was in de-
spair. and consented. She stuck to it
until it restored her health so COM
pletely that she is now the most enthu-
siastic friend of Grape-Nuts that l
ever knew. She eats it with cream or
dry. Just as it comes from the package
keeps ii in her room and eats it when
ever she feels like it.
II began eating Grape-Nuts food my
self when my baby was two months
old, and don't know what l should
have done without it. My appetite was
gone. I was weak and nervous and af-
forded but very little nourishment for
the child. The Grape-Nuts food, of
which soon grew very fond, speedily
set all this right again, and the baby
grew healthful, rosy and beautiful as
mother could wish. He is two years
old now and eats Grape-Nuts food him-
self. 1 wish every tired young mother
knew of the good that Grape-Nuts
would do her"

Hockey in Women,s coIIeoes.

Dexterity in the use of the sticks
adds greatly to the skill of the play
ers, as not only the length of the
drive, but its direction, may be deter
mined by the method of handling. AS
in golf, the players are early taught
to keep their eye on the ball, ready,
if it is near the enemy's goal, to de-
fend, while If it is near their own, to
attack. Much also depends upon the
teamwork or the skill with which the
team works together, playing into
each others hands, to the confusion
of the enemy.
For the protection of the players, a
rule forbids raising the sticks above
the shoulders, thus preventing the
serious knocks and bruises which the
enthusiastic players with their heavy
sticks might otherwise infict. Even
the observance of this rule however,
does not prevent black and blue shins
and sprained fingers, to say nothing
of Ithat aching feeling" which re-
suits from tumbles on none too soft
hockey field, and the active exercise
of every known muscle and few I'M

cognition.-Harper's Bazaar.
