It Bring Health And Hair.

the version OF III. C.. Dexter, It's in

Rheumatism. he declares; has felt his
lungs expand and his heart leap with
youth, although he is now eighty
one years old, and has grown new
hair on head that was bald.
The chest shield which resembles
baseball catcher's mask. is a struc-
ture Of light wire sold6red together.
1t is eight inches square. 1t has a
convex curve that is y inches at
the greatest height and slopes gradu-
ally back to the outer rims. The
framework is hung about the neck
by string OF elastic and is intend
ed to rest directly over the heart and
lungs.
Anybody" said Mr.. Dexter, "can
obtain benefit from this simple and
valuable device. 1t rests next to the
skin and Keeps the undershirt from
subsiding upon the chest in a dead
sog. In this way the air circulates
over the heart and lungs and imparts

Average Length OF Life.

The man who lives until he is
more than a century old and the
child who dies in infancy are alike
included in the law of averages. They

age of ten. only 1854 will live 10
the age of twenty-one, only S2.2S4
will be living at forty, only 40 will
be living at ninety-siX, and only .
At ninety-seven. At thirty. the aver
age man may take it that he has
under thirty-five years to live; at
forty. under twenty-eight years; at
hftys under twenty-one years; at SIN
~ under fourteen years.
In each and all Of these cases,
how he lives will determine whether
he will have a longer life or a shorter
life, but the average will infallibly
work out within a space of ninety
years.-Cassells Saturday Journal.

Storing Icicles For Summer Use.

South Germans produce ice from
pure water in winter. They use a
large wooden framework in two
stories, about six yards square and
six yards high.
Each story is covered with a floor
Of is parallel beams, in the center
Of which a tube is incased in wood
rises beyond the upper floors. This
tube Is connected with the water
main and the water issues through a
rotating disk which sends a moving
spray on the beams. AS the water
drops from the beams icicles are
formed which reach the middle floor
and finally the ground. The volume
Of water is regulated according to
the temperature of the ice.
AS the ice retains the shape Of
Isolated columns, it is broken up
easily and removed. The ice is then
stored for use in summer-ChicagO

New York City.-The team of
American athletes that will repre-
sent the Stars and Stripes in the
Olympic games at London, England.
next month, was selected at a Joint
conclave of the executive and selec-
ton committees of the American
Olympic Committees. The session
took place at the Astor House and
all day long those in authority dis
cussed the abilities at home and
chances abroad of each available can
didate. After a long list of perfor-
meTs at three different tryouts and
two intercollegiate championships
had been sifted and culled the fine
string of &c men was agreed upon.
II is by far the biggest team ever
mustered in America for a fixture in
foreign lands. The men represent all
walks of American life-college men
and athletic club men and hail from
all quarters, the North. South, East
and West of the United States. The
competitive grounds which the team
will cover includes events at track
and field sports, aquatics and wrest-
ling-making about thirty distinct
contests in all All of these will be

youth l made up my mind to use
It. He readily went under the influ-
ence of the new anesthetic, l pulled
manfully and the grinder came out.

turn to consciousness. 1 was badly
frightened, and hastily Selling a
bucket with about two gallons OF
water In it L poured 1t over him.
Gasping, he came out from the in
huence of the chloroform. Then he
wanted to know what 1 meant by
giving him such a soaking.

1t was decided that white athletic
dress shall be worn by each COMPETE
tor, the outer seam of the trousers
to have a red, white and blue stripe
and the chest of the shirt or jersey
to be adorned by a national shield
of the United States. Each athlete
shall wear a blue cap. with a shield
on the peak.
The team is to sail on the Ameri-
can liner Philadelphia, arriving on
the scene of action about ten days
before the opening Of the games. To
finance the trip will mean an expen-
diture of about $4,000, and though
all of this has not been collected
the American committee hopes to
have that sum at its disposal when
the team heads for Sandy Hook. 1t
will cost 1925 to send each of the
men TO London.
Every man of the select seventy
six is trained to the hour and will be
kept in perfect condition until the
team sails away. The fifty-eight sub
stitutes, many of whom just fell short
of the charmed circle, are not to be
sighted in the calculations, and a
glance at the following complete rost-
er makes it certain that the honor of
Old Glory is in safe keeping:

held their breaths for an instant
awaiting the explosion that they had
good cause to expect would follow.

Whale Impaled On Pile Driver.

An immense blackfish or finback
whale thirty feet long located itself
under a pile driver at a fish trap
location near the entrance to Decep-
ton Pass few days ago. The pile
was pushed clear through the huge
body of the fish and was pounded
into the tide lands underneath by
the heavy driving hammer.
The struggles of the fish shook
the pile driver so violently that the
loftman fell from the second station
of the driver rigging to the deck.
and was rescued from drowning only
by the prompt action of John Nelson,
working on the deck.
