Speech making of lighter vein, in

At middle age certain organs lose

nutrition, If not needed, will result ir

can be oxidized and used either to
build up tissue or for the generation of

the body wastes and become diseased,

ing often in sudden death from heart
failure, apoplexy, diabetes or kidney
disorders.
The prevention of obesity means reg
ulation Of diet, especially in middle life
and when changing from an active out
of door occupation to sedentary in
door life. Often the amount of food
should be cut down from one-fourth to
one-half, especially avoiding fats and
sweets, also soft foods, which tend to
gormandizing from deficient mastica-
ton and too hasty eating. No wine,
beer or alcoholic drink or tea or coffee
should be used. At meals even the use
Of water should be restricted. Exer-
else should be taken in the open air
and deep breathing practiced to in
crease the intake Of oxygen and burn
up and oxidize bodily toxic matter.
For those women who are overstout,

AN INTERESTING
CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT
Any Child Can Do 1.-THE Result 10
Almost Like Masie-Useful, Too.

Anything in the nature of a chem
ical experiment is always interesting
and usually educative. Here is sim
pie experiment which any child can
perform and which is instructive in
very practical way: Get bit of White
Lead about the size of pea, a piece
of charcoal, common candle in a
candlestick, and blow-pipe. Scoop
out little hollow in the charcoal to
hold the White Lead, then light the
candle take the charcoal and lead in
one hand and the blow-pipe in the
other. with the large end of the blow
pipe between the lips: blow the flame
OF the candle steadily against the bit
of White Lead on the charcoal and IL
the White Lead is pure 1t will pres
emily resolve itself into little shining
slobules of metallic lead. under the
intense heat of the blow-pipe, leaving
no residue.
II, however. the White Lead is adul-
terated in the slightest degree. 1t will
not wholly change into lead. So. it
will be seen. that this experiment is
not only an entertaining chemical
demonstration. but also of practical
use in the home. White Lead is the
most important ingredient OF paint.
II should be bought pure and unadul-
terated and mixed with pure linseed
oil. That is the best paint. The
above easy experiment enables any
one 20 know whether the paint is the
kind which will wear or not.
The National Lead Company guar
,aly
package bearing their Dutch Boy
Painter" trademark will prove abso-
lutely pure under the blow-pipe test:
and to encourage people to make the
test and prove the purity of paint be-
fore using it. they will send free n
blowpipe and valuable booklet on
paint to anyone writing them asking
for Test Equipment. Address Ma

WORKS FOR CIVIC PRIDE.
Excellent Scheme Devised by Mer.
chants Of Western City.

A new scheme for arousing local
pride is being worked in an enterpris-
ing western city. The plan in brief
is. instead of attempting to vitalize
the civic spirit of the whole commu-
nifty. to organize clubs in different To-
calities and to clean up and light up
certain sections. without regard to
what may be done elsewhere. For in
stance. a club is organized in a
single block. and merchants on each
side OF the street are persuaded to
join. II IL is desired to make the
block brilliant with light at night an
investigation is had to see how it can
be done. how much 1t will cost and
what it is worth. The plan has worked
so successfully that organizations are
springing up all over the same city to
devote their attention to cleaning or
lighting a certain restricted territory.
it is much easier to secure co-opera-
ton between 20 merchants than be-
tween 200. and the influence of the
few spreads in u widening circle

The fact that the financial depres-

a migration to the country is shown
by scores of letters which state that
the needs OF farmers have been met
to a considerable extent in the eastern

from the cities to accept work on the

HOW HOT is THE SUN7
Temperature Said to Be Nearly 10000
Degrees Fahrenheit.

Paris.-A discussion as TO how hot
the sun is has been carried on between
French scientists. Prof. Millochau.
the physicist, says:
I'VE have seen that by applying
Stefan's law to the numbers given by
various observers for the solar con
stant, we find that the suns tempera-
ture is between $500 degrees and
1000 degrees. Wilson and Gray In
1902 made a direct measure of this
temperature tby means of the ther-
moelectric pilel and obtained 5,573
degrees. and measurements made with
the pyrheliometric telescope lead to
the figures 5.6s3 degrees. There Is
yet "A third method OF evaluating the
solar temperature: II consists in an
application OF the physical law OF
radiation known as the law of dis
placement The product of the wave
length corresponding the maximum
of intensity In the spectrum emitted
by the body. multiplied by its TEN.
perature. Is a constant quantity which
has been found by experiment TO be
1900. Now the maximum OF energy
In the solar spectrum Is found near
the wave length. 3. which would make
the temperature $500 degrees.
The agreement OF the results
reached by these various methods is
certainly not due simply to chance.

MAN MUST WEAR A GAG.
court Makes Order and Red Bandana
ls Used Effectively.

Tacoma. Misunderstanding" Smith
is the first man in the court records OF
this city compelled to wear a gag In
his mouth when he appears on the
street. The police here know OF no
other like case in any other city.
Smith has given the police of Ia
coma a great deal of trouble. Years
ago he made his home here for ten
years. Then the police made life such
a burden for him that he left. Re-
Gently he came back and the police
have been after him every. few days.
The man claims to have an affliction
that physicians who have examined
him say is probably without parallel.
1t is an involuntary movement of the
vocal organs that compels him to ut.
ter words and sentences that he
claims are not in his mind. Smiths
chief offense is vulgar expressions,
used. apparently in an involuntary
manner. in the presence OF women.
The man is wealthy. and whenever
brought up in court, secures counsel
and makes a hard fight.
Judge Arnston ordered that when
ever he appeared on the street or in
public places he should wear gag
in his mouth. preventing him from
talking.
Shortly after being discharged by
the court Smith had a large handker'
chief tied tightly over his mouth by
policeman and was given his free
dom. Only when he is in the seclusion
of his own room is Smith permitted
to take the gag of.

The Evolution of
Household Remedies.

Tho modern patent medicine busi.
asss il the natural outgrowth Of the
old.time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY had ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitten, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
cd BY the housewife, sometimes assisted
BY the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies a. picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
Of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more Of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulae for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business il .
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In tho begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by tho usefulness of one Of
these homemade remedies, would take
! II up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on largo scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the homo,
and thus it would become used over q
largo area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
hold REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one Of these
eld-time remedies. It was used by the
Aennonites, of Pennsylvania, before It
was offered to tho public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL CON-
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
nonits origin. First, he prescribed 1t
for his neighbors and his patients.
Tho sale of it increased, and at last hs
established a manufactory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in
Dr.. Hartman's Judgment and to rely
On his remedy, Peruna-
