YALE MEN HAVE BIGGER LUNGS
Or. May Of Michigan Finds That New
Haven Freshmen Excel His.

DR.. May of the University of Mich
igan has compared the statistics of his
freshmen class with those of the Yale
freshmen He develops the fact that
in one particular only have the Yale
freshmen any decided advantage. and
that is in lung capacity. The figures
are 256 against 243.
DR.. May ascribes this to the great
er opportunities for physical training
In the schools Of the east The aver.
age age and weight of the eastern
1911 man is slightly greater. Yale has
more habitual tobacco users. or the
Michigan freshmen 1915 per cent. use
tobacco customarily. while as per cent.
use 1t at Yale.
DR.. May reports that las Of the 500
students he examined wore glasses,
but more should have had them. OF
the students about $50 suffered from
various deformities, such as stoop
shoulders. fiat feet and curviture of
the spine, However, they are better
physically than the 1910 class at
Michigan, and DR.. May hopes that
his 1912 class will have bigger lungs
than the Yale men.

CLEAR CASE OF PROVIDENCE.

lie Benefactor.

In New Jersey town the other day
the council passed an ordinance that
the scales used in all the grocery
stores should be officially tested. Uncle
Jim Williams had been in trade for Fl
years, and when his scales were tested
they were found two ounces short on
every pound weighed out to customers
The thing was gossiped about, and
something was said in the papers, and
so at the next Thursday evening
prayer meeting the short-weight
brother felt that something ought to
be said. He admitted that the scales
were found to be wrong and that for
over 20 years he had been selling IA
ounces for pound, but he wanted to
state the other side of the case--the
side the public had not yet heard.
Eyes, friends, it's true about the IA
ounces" he said, but on the other
hand, what have been doing with ak.
handles? The regular price is 25 cents
each, but through some absent minded
ness l have been selling them all these
years for 20. and II the buyer was not
satisfied with that threw in a door.

Prescription
OfLongevity

To look upon his fresh and almost
youthful face, suggests the thought
that he should be asked for a pre-:

OF concentrated work with an average
of sixteen hours day, under the fol.
lowing rules, is apparently what has
kept Mr.. Edison young:
Eat lightly; sleep lightly; work, for
work is more restful than sleeping or
idling. Four hours OF good sleep Is
better than eight OF restless slumber.
Alcohol scatters thought: tobacco
stimulates 1t.
1t seems that Mr.. Edison usually
arises at five O'Clock 10 the morning,
walks among the trees and birds IN
summertime, and does some little odds
and ends Of reading until the people
arrive on the scene. Breakfast is at
$50 and then he works until noon,
when light lunch is served to him In
the labratory, and he eats nothing
more until his o'clock dinner. He
usually arrives when the desert Is be.
ing put on the table, but he leaves the
dining room with the rest OF the fam
lily, as about five minutes at the table
suffices for his modest wants Mr..
Edison says:
Between II and II O'Clock at night
/ have the best time with my note
books, and then, last Of all, comes
good, sound sleep.
This is the recipe for good health
that came from the lips OF man who
has been the wonder Of his age, who
has invented over a thousand separate
inventions, whose life is accounted a
brilliant success, and who is crowned
with triumphs such as have rarely fal.

at the end Of that time look perfectly

for ten minutes has rumpled hair and

who came out" in society early in the

weary. 1t Is a rafting pace for sweet
eighteen or twenty. and they cannot
stop until the gong sounds. Certain
young men who are deep in the social

until 3 a. m. and yet not look half as

men confided to friend yesterday
