pounds; blood, seven pounds. The body contains
about seven-eighths water; and SO the would
contain about seventeen gallons, more than half
barrel of it.
AS to food, he would consume every dav five
thousand grains of lean meat eight thousand grains
of bread, seven thousand grains of milk three
thousand grains of potatoes, six hundred grains of
butter thirty three thousand grains of water This
makes total of food and drink equal nearly to
eight pounds
The matter thus taken into the body is normally
balanced by equal quantity of thrown
off. For the escape of this waste there are four
avenues the lungs, which throw off twenty thousand
grains daily; the skin, which thousand
grains and the kidneys and intestines. which e1ni-
nate twenty -four thousand and twentysix hundred
grains respectively. OF the taken, the
lungs and skin together carry off just about one
half, the kidneys about forty-four per cent, and
the intestines the rest
All this means that there passes through the
body within the course of a year almost a ton
and half of solid and liquid matter. The body
rebuilds itself with portion of this each day,
discarding corresponding quantity of waste.

ing,-constantly breaking down and the same

human body is microcosm of the universe a
miniature world in itself. 1t embodes within it's
composition it's structure its operations, everything
that is to be found anywhere in the world outside
Of itself
For instance, the body contains all of the impor-
tant chemical elements Nearly three-quarters of
its weight is made up of oxygen, that most impor-
tant and universal element Then there are the
other gases, nitrogen hydrogen chorin and f1uorin
In addition to these gases find carbon, calcium
phosphorus, sodium, sulphur, potassium, mag
1esum, iron copper, lead, and silicon lithiun
mercury, arsenic, and other solids. The first five
named, the gases, sufficient in quantity to fill
d tank of about four thousand cubic feet capacity
Say of size twenty feet long, ten feet high, and
twenty feet wide The solids in the body such as
the carbon, lime (calcium), silicon, sodium, potas-
SUM, magnesium, all in the ground which
YOU walk.
The body contains enough fat to make about one
hundred candles, enough soap to keep its own
surface clean for month, enough sugar to do for
family meal, and enough salt to supply the family
for a month, 1t contains only little iron, Just
about enough to make couple of small nails;
but it has enough hydrogen gas to fill balloon that
would actually lift the owner into the clouds
he human body also contains enough carbon
to make about three thousand lead pencils, or in
the form of a hod of coal enough to keep blazing
fire going for an hour two. That, as matter of

should address the county associa-
tion. BY this means there would
be joint session and all the
teachers would receive the benefit
OF the instruction to be given.
Mr.. Fess stated that he could
appear March 2S, but at that time
the county teachers examinations
are held. 1t is the purpose of the
County association to secure him
for their institute. whenever he
can be secured and probably he
will be requested to speak before
the local teachers at another date.
Mr. Fess is widely known teach.
er and his services are eagerly
sought by the officials of the various
schools for institute work.

finest convention hall ever con-

When was in Denver the citi-

"One of the weighty reasons for
taking the Democratic national
convention to Denver was the COOL
ness of the weather In that city
in July. Every convention that has
been held in the East has suffered
from the heat, but at the Denver
gathering there will be no weather
warm enough to make the audience
feel uncomfortable. In the summer
evenings the cool breezes blowing
from the snow-clad mountains
make the air delightfully."- cool It
