A COURSE OF OK.
Try It as an Antidote For tho III. Of
the Strenuous Life.

Try It as an Antidote For the Ills Of
the Strenuous Life.
In the choice Of motor power allow
me to suggest the OK. The horse leans
forward to pull and even helps himself
along by bobbing his head. He jerks a
load out of hard place by plunging
bodily against the collar, stopping and
lunging again. He strains through a
hard place and then starts suddenly
forward at his release. He works HIM
self into lather, and you. if you are
the right kind Of person, cannot help
feeling for him and assisting him with
inward stress and strain.
The OK does not bob q horn. He sim.
ply journeys, and the load goes along.
When he comes to a tough place his
pasterns do not bend down, he does not
squat to pull, he does not pinch along
on the toes Of his shoes, he seldom
blows, and he does not know how to
sweat. He Goes not exert himself at 81
patch Of woven soil and then hurry up
when he is past it. The chain becomes
SITTER. and the yoke sits solder to his
AACSh, anu ludI Is I'LL. 1uero Is no sign
of effort. The earth may grit it's teeth
and crunch as it swallows the pillow, but
the OK stalks on his way. With the
share deep or shallow OF lifted entirely
and hanging from the axle, whether
he is blowing earth or air. it makes no
difference to him. His most ponderous
task is still himself, and he needs no
incidentals.
He is out for stroll. He does not
allow work to interfere with the even
tenor of his way. His tendons are rig.
ged to his outstanding rump bones like
so much spar and tackle, and he goes
along by interior leverage. Inside his
old woman hulk is the necessary en-
CINE work, and he will neither go slow
er for this thing nor faster for that.
There is much about him besides his
disposition that is self contained. He
Is the antithesis Of the automobile. To
ride on his back is cure for indiges-
tion; to ride behind him Is a rest for
the mind. A course of OK is an antidote
for the ills Of the Charles d.
Stewart in Atlantic.

Climatic Changes,

There Is plenty of evidence Of the
very best sort which goes to prove that
not only Europe and North America,
but the lands situated within the arc
tic circle, must have enjoyed a tropical
climate. The numerous fossil remains
found in those regions are those Of
plants and animals which, according
to the present state of our knowledge,
must have lived under conditions now
found only in the equatorial belt. Moth
ing is clearer than the fact that the
polar cold is steadily gaining on the
temperate and tropical zones and that
eventually the land will be all ice
fields.

Odd Incident In England In the Eight
zenith Century.
For time during the eighteenth cen.
tury in England there was lull in
the robbery industry owing to an odd
incident. Shortly after the execution
of an English burglar named Elliston
a curious communication purporting
to have been written by him was put
into circulation. Nov, as 1 am a dy-
ing man." it ran, II have done some
thing which may be of good use to the
public. l have left with an honest
mantle only honest man 1 was ever
acquainted with-the names of all my
wicked brethren, the places Of their
abode, with q short account Of the
chief crimes they have committed, in
many of which have been the accom-
plice and heard the rest from their
own mouths. have likewise set
down the names of those we call our
settlers, Of the houses we frequent and
all Of those who receive and buy our
stolen goods. have solemnly charged
this honest man and have received his
promise upon oath that whenever he
hears Of any rogue to be tried for rob-
berry or HOUSEKEEPING he will look into
bis list and II he finds there the name
Of the thief concerned to send the
whole paper to the government. OF
this here give my companions fair
and public warning and hope they will

lts Simple Figure Scheme and Infinite
Possibilities Of Variety.
The pretzel is one of the most re.
markable creations of the human mind
and hand. 1t stands almost alone as
an artificial product displaying the
countless varieties Of form produced
by nature in the leaves of trees and
blades Of grasses. OF the millions
upon millions turned out by the pretzel
bakeries since the inception of the in
dustry it is not probable that any two
were exactly alike.
The general figure scheme Of the
pretzel must have been an inspiration.
1t would have been impossible for the
human mind to conceive a scheme SO
simple and yet permitting such APP
proach to infinite variation. Because
Of the peculiar shape of the pretzel its
construction is most easily described
by employing sailor mems terms A
blight Is taken in a roll of dough, and
the ends are given a half twist and
brought back upon opposite sides of
the blight. This makes the article
somewhat heart shaped. There can
have been no sentimental reason for
this shape. for there is no product of
art or nature further removed from the
realm of sentiment than is the pretzel.
The finished article looks as If It had
been vanished and exposed to q sand
storm before the varnish dried.
The pretzel is unique as an article of
internal use. 1t cannot be classed as
food or drink. 1t is not dessert, nor
Is 1t medicine. Perhaps it should be
classed as an appetizer-an appetizer
not for food. but for drink, and therein
lies its uniqueness. It is the great
thirst producer. It is the third of a
Sahara done up in a twist of dough.
II any one could invent something that
would quench thirst as effectively as
the pretzel can produce it his fortune
would be made.
The home Of the pretzel is Ger

garded as being derived from words in
the Latin language meaning bracelet
But Germans are not fond Of takine

fact that it is baked on lat board.

A SIMPLE SAFEGUARD IN BUYING
PAINT.

Everybody should know how simple
and easy it is to avoid all uncertainty
in buying paint materials. There are
many so-called white leads on the
market, which contain chalk, zinc,
barytes, and other cheap adulterants.
Unless the property owner takes ad-
vantage Of the simple means Of pro-
lection afforded him by reliable white
lead manufacturers, he runs great risk
of getting an inferior and adulterated
white lead.
1t is to protect the paint-buyer
against fraud and adulteration that
National Lead Company, the largest
makers of genuine Pure White Lead,
place their famous Dutch Boy Paint
err trademark on every key Of their
product, an absolute guarantee of it's
purity and quality. Anyone who wants
to make a practical test Of white lead,
and who wants a valuable free book
about painting, should address Ma
tional Lead Company, Woodbridge
Bldg, New York, and ask for test
equipment.

MOTHER AND CHILD
Both Fully Nourished on Grape-Nuts

The value Of this famous food is
shown in many ways, in addition to
what might be expected from it's chem
ical analysis.
Grape-Nuts food is made of whole
wheat and barley, is thoroughly baked
for many hours and contains all the
wholesome ingredients in these &C.
reals.
1t contains also the phosphate of
potash grown in the grains, which Ma
ture uses to build up brain and nerve
cells.
Young children require proportion
ately more of this element because the
grows SO rapidly.
A Va. mother found the value of
Grape-Nuts in not only building up her
W strength but in 'nourishing her
baby at the same time. She writes:

cover health and strength, and the
doctor said 1 could not nurse the baby
