MIGHT HAVE BEEN RIGHT.
Pet Phrase of a Store Clerk, Repeat
eddy Used, May Have Hit
the Mark.

A clerk in a clothing store in south
srn New Hampshire, had an amusing
habit of using, on all sorts of occa-
sions, the expression, That helps
some" If a customer came in and
found a suit of clothes of the right
pattern, even though the price was
too high for him to think of buying,
the clerk would utter the consoling
words, "That helps some" If the
clothes were cheap enough, but were
several sizes too large or too small,
still he would remark, "That helps
some''
One day lady came into the store
and asked to be allowed to see an as
sortment of neckties. The polite clerk
spread out an array of these goods for
1er inspection, and while she was
making her selection he noticed that
she looked exceedingly sad and tear
ul. The clerk ventured some COM
nonplace remark, which led the wom-
an to explain that her burden was a
very heavy one; that she was left with
put little money and with several
small children to support.
MY husband" she said at last, t'has
gone to a better world"
WELL" said the clerk, deeply
moved, that helps some"

expansion is greater since 1900 than

Texas and its two territorial neighbors
on the north keeping up their old

Mexico are showing an increase not
previously touched, says the Metro
politan.
From the Chicago, st. Louis, Kansas
City and New Orleans gateways, by
way of the many railroads which are

snail,s Sense Of Smell.

Emil Jung, professor in the Uni
versity of Geneva, say that snails per
eeive the odor of many substances, but
only when not far away. In order tG
prove this it is necessary merely t6
dip a glass rod in a strongly smelling
substance and bring it near the large
tentacles of snail in motion. If it lie
put close to these horns, the tentacles
are violently drawn back. AS the
animal perceives the odor, 1t changes
its course Snails also smell by means
of their skin. Contact is not necessary
for the mere vicinity of perfume
causes an indentation of the skin.

Report on the
Food Problem
Uncle Sans Investigators Make
Some Important Observations.

The United States Department of Ag-
riculture has learned much about food by
its investigations throughout the past half
century or more. report recently pub
lished by the department Is especially well
come at this time because of the wide
spread public interest in the composition
and value of food. Knowing our readers
are awake to the Importance of this sub
ject. we quote one paragraph of the gov
ernment's report which speaks vividly Of
the uses of food:
Blood and muscle, bone and tendon,
brain and nerve-all the organs and tissues
OF the body-are built from the nutritive
ingredients of food. With every motion of
the body, and with the exercise of feeling
and thought as well, material is consumed
and must be resupplied by food. The chief
uses OF food, then, are two: % To form
the matepal OF the body and repair its
wastes. and CD to furnish muscular and
other power for the work it has to do"
Read over that last sentence about the
chief uses of food and you will understand
more readily why physicians. scientists and
other authorities on the value OF foods say
Malta-Vita builds up the body. repairs its
waste and yields muscular and other power
to the greatest extent. This is because
Malta-Vita is the whole OF the best white
wheat. steamed and cooked, then mixed
with pure barley malt extract, rolled Into
little wafer flakes and thoroughly baked.
The malt extract, a powerful digestive
agent, converts the starch OF the wheat
into maltese. or malt sugar, which ply
sicians recommend because IL is so
strengthening. Malta-Vita supplies the
body with every food element required to
build blood and muscle, bone and tendon.
brain and nerve, and 1t is easy to digest.
Maita-Vita is delicious to the taste. al
ways crisp and appetzing. Served with
cream milk or fresh fruit it makes the
ideal breakfast. People who know how
good TO eat and how nourishing Malta-Vita
is wouldn't try TO get along without ilt.
All grocers sell Malta-vits 10 cents q
