Bad liver.

The only salvation for the person
with a torpid liver is through a chang
ed system Of diettics, combined with
exercises in the outdoor air. calisthen

with n bad liver should habtually
practice deep and long breathing, fill
ing the lungs at each inhalation.
The curative dietary must consist
principally of nerve or brain food,
including fish and a reasonable
amount OF beef, with generous guam
titles of cereal foods and the fruits
that are rich in action. In warm
weather 1t is best TO abstain from
milk altogether. Butter and vegeta>
Bile fats, olive oil, boiled rice. baked

Some dramatic authors seem to re-
gard construction as unnecessary
frills. On the first night of the only
drama that the novelist, Miss Brad
den, wrote, scene was introduced
in which a child was kidnapped from
its mother. At the end, when all
were made happy. SO much had been
left to the general Imagination that
no pains had been taken to effect the
restoration of the stolen child. OF
course 1t was an unworkmanlike
lapse on the part of the dramatist,
and II seemed to have passed un-
noticed until a god leaned over the
gallery rail and solemnly inquired:
"Hi! What about that kidd" The
piece was swamped in a flood of in
extinguishable laughter.

il has been celebrated on many differ

Hardly a month IN the year but what

some people. as the first of the ~,

logical, determined by the position of
the sun in the heavens.
Sometimes It was fixed by agricult-
ural or industrial conditions, some
times by great historical event. and
occasionally It was merely arbitrary,
determined without any special rea-
son being assigned. At one time the
Greeks began their year September
at another on dhe first day of July,

In what Is called the Alexandrian era
the year began on August 20. One
Jewish chronology assigns October

by the Railway Age, railroad con-

been nearly as heavy in 1907 as in
1906, which was the heaviest year
since 1883. The total number of
miles OF new track laid this year has
been $3.50. of which 422 miles were
in Louisiana. 341 in Florida, 3S5 in
South Dakota, 31i in Texas. and 81
