Virtues Of the Hazel Twin.

Hazel twigs long have been used as
instruments with which to discover
water under ground. The twig has at
various times been credited with many
marvellous powers. Not only could IT
discover water, but concealed lodes Of
metal, especially silver. were be-
trayed by the hazel, which, according
to tradition, was guided by the pixies
who guarded the treasures of the
earth. In France the divining rod of
hazel was used in the pursuit of
criminals, while in many Of the met.i-
DDS of investigating the future the
burning Of hazel nuts played a part.

FACTS FROM FORD-The size Of brakes is
an important consideration. Lives are
often az the mercy of the braking possibilities
of a car. Brakes scientifically designed are
proportioned to the load they must control,
the larger the load the larger the brakes. The
total braking surface of the Model ~ with
its dual system of brakng is 81 square inches
per pound of weight The average of other
cars is in the neighborhood of 81 square inches.

THE INSURANCE MANS
SCHEME

The Insurance Man had been
doping his system with psychology
and he made up his mind one day
to work a form of auto suggestion
on his victim.
He hbd been camping on
Browns trail winter and summer,
all to no purpose. Now he was
going to stop all monkey business
and show Brown that he could
have made him come through long
ago, but was just endeavoring in
his plain, unassuming way to be
the gentleman.
He came into Browns Office with
the air of a man who knows what
he's about or would like to learn
the reason why. He pulled out a
long sheet of paper, drew chair
up alongside the little table near
Browns big roll top desk, spread
the sheet of paper out before him,
and began to ask questions.
Lets see; what is your full
name, Brown" he inquired, cas-
ually.
Brown gave him queer look,
but told him all three of his names
smilingly.
Then the Insurance Man asked
Brown the exact date of his birth,
whether married or single, the
ages of his father and mother at
the time of their death, what they
died of, and a lot more interroga.
lions, all of which Brown answered
just >as cheerfully as life he had
been giving testimony in COW
case before justice of the peace
The Insurance Man noted that
he had his big application blank
nearly filled. He chuckled to him
self.

Brown gave him another look.
but the Insurance Man didn't see
it. He was too busy thinking
about what a good one he was get
ting over the plate.
Brown took the pen and placed
it on the line the man had indi-
Gated. Then he stopped and looked
up helplessly.
well, move my hand for me,
why don't you!" snapped Brown
sourly, and the Insurance Man
pricked up his ears.
"All you have to do is just to
sign your name here" he says.
"Uh. huh! That's all | have to
do, hey?' observed Brown. well,
as long as tive got paresis and

UNKNOWN WIVES OF weLL.kNowM MEN

MRS. ALBERT b. CUMMINS,
wife of the senator from Iowa, is a.
thorough apostle of her husbands
Iowa Idea of living at home, orig
mated by him when governor of
Iowa.
Just before she left for Washing
ton last winter to attend her hus-
bands first session of congress.
Mrs. Cummins declared that she
would continue to live in Des
Moines and make her home there,
not In Washington.
Although her husband has been
prominent In politics in Iowa and
the nation for the last 10 years, lit
tie has been heard of Mrs. Cum
Minis. However, while her husband
has been winning laurels in politi-
cal fields, Mrs. Cummins has been

betterment and satisfaction of the
questioner is at times rather diff
ficult matter. But to get him or
her to act upon the advice given
is often a still more difficult mat
ter.
The reason for this is, | believe,
not any lack of intelligence or of
docilty on the part of the inquirer.
The mere fact of his applying for
, advice is proof of his sincere de-
, sire to learn the law and to APP.
ply it.
The failure to follow directions
| is, | think, mainly because some of
us who profess expert knowledge
| along these lines are all too prone
to give advice without making the
individual so advised realize that
for every one of these restrictions
| there is, or at least there should
be, a perfectly clear and easily
understood reason.
For instance, may say to pa
tient: Avoid taking much sugar
with your cereal and cream; and
always take bit of bread with q
spoonful of the cereal" Now, if
give no reason for such advice, he
is very likely to think my rule un
reasonable and arbitrary.
When, however, I explain to hin
that the presence of cane sugar il
a starchy mixture prevents the
complete conversion of that starcl
into matter capable of feeding the
body; when | remind him that, b,
taking bit of bread with ever,
spoonful of cereal, he is therefor,
quite certain to masticate it thor
oughly, and actually digest at leas
a part of 1t in the mouth.
When l have taken the trouble
to do this he appreciates that Their,
