HOW WE ARE FORMED.
A Few of the Many MarveIs of the Hin
man Body.

On an average mans body there ar,
10000 hairs. PluclinS one every SCI.
ond it would take him twelve eight
hour working days to pull them all out
In his blood there are $4,000. 100000, 00r
red cOrpuscles. Laid out side by side
they would cover n surface of 3,13u
square yards.
The whole of the blood passes throuSr
n mans heart nearly twice in every
minute. 1t weighs one-thirteenth Oi
the entire body weight, and it moves
in different parts of the body at speeds
varying from ten feet to 1866 yard

The fat of your body is fluid. 1t be
comes solid only when the body cool.
after death. 1t is one OF your most
useful constituents, forming Il p0l:Con
Quoting sheath to protect yo', IRON
cold, acting as pads to preserve from
shock, on the tips of the fingers, the
toes and the heels and lying always
| ready as a reserve food supply wheI
you can get nothing to eat.
A little artery passes from your brail
| through the skull into the scalp, whicl
acts as safety valve when the brain

The skin cannot grow again one,

scars left by burns and severe wounds
Only the surface layer can renew
itself. When the whole thickness is de
| stroyed it never reforms. This is tn,
more curious as muscles, nerves, bloc,
vessels and bones, all less liable to in
| jury than the skin, can grow again.
You are really n water rather thai
land animal. Although as a who'll
you live on dry land, your body con
sists of countless millions of separate
living particles, and these are all i'm
mersed in the water which constitute
four-fifths of your substance
Within the inner part of your eaI

which acts as a spirit level and enable
you to keep your balance.-Chicag

Ting the pure food law The inspectors

in Moline on account of the hard rain
the night before, but they were kept
busy examining the stock in a number
Of the stores. In one store they found
a number Of boxes of breakfast food
that had been standing on the shelves

one of the boxes and found the con
tents 10 be mouldy and unfit for use

his shelves of the stuff
Conditions Are Better.
When seen this morning, the inspec
tors informed an Argus representative
that they found the conditions, both in
Moline and Rock Island, a great deal
better than last year. While they
would not state in what condition they
found the dairy products this year, it is
probable that prosecution will follow II

is A BEAUTIFUL ORNAMENT
Too Bad Fountain Could Not Have
Been Placed on Market Square.

With the completion of the Ensign
fountain on Seventeenth street. the
people are beginning to realize what a
beautiful ornament the fountain is, and
many compliments are passed on it
daily. 1t is too bad. though. that such
an ornament and so beneficial an insti-
tuition could not have been placed on
Market square. where it would have
been more generally seen, and could
replace the cheap trough now on the
square.
