Secretary Carey
Explains Emblem

Following the appearance of the Y.
M. C. A. watch fobs and pins that have
just been introduced in the city and
are being worn by the members of
the association, many inquiries have
been made concerning the meaning of
the letters and other parts of the
makeup of the emblem. Asked about
it this morning, Secretary Robert Carey
said:
1.-The official emblem of the Young
Mems Christian Association is cir
Gle, in which is a triangle, the letters
''X' and "P," and book opened and
marked, John 1921.
''The circle signifies the worldwide
movement of the work of the asso-
citation, and the triangle it's three
phases, the spirit, the mind and the
body In all associations the work has
these three divisions,-the religious,
the physical work and the mental, or
schools. The letters are Greek. the
Ky being the Greek letters CO.. and
III" known as Chi" The "P" is the
Greek r. and the two together are
the three initial letters Of the word
Christ. The book open at John 1921
is the Bible reference where Christ
prayed that all men would become
one
This emblem is international and
may be found the world over by as
ISOLATION men. 1t is their insignia"

WHY YOU SUFFER

Does it ever occur to you how busy
that little stomach of yours is? 1t act
ually only holds three pints, though
in one year you force it to take in
$500 pounds of material, digest it and
prepare it for assimilation to the
blood Do YOU wonder at the number
of cases of Indigestion and Stomach
trouble? You crowd it with steaks
and pastry. irritate its juices with
spices and acids. and expect this little
four-Ounce mill to do its work.
Is there any wonder that your food
passes undigested, or lays like a lump
of lead in the stomach? That every
thing you eat turns to acid, Stomach
gas and Stomach poison, putrefying
the intestines and digestive canals
causing BilliOusness, eHadaches, Dir

Nauseous Breath, constipation and
other more dangerous symptoms?

causing Billiousness, Headaches, Dir
ease is fermentation of the food you
eat-a sour Stomach which belches
gas and erupts undigested food or
causes a feeling of nausea and miser-

Telling Age Of a Fish.

The age of fish can be determined
with accuracy by inspection of the
otoliths or bony concretions which
are found in the auditory apparatus
These otoliths increase In size dur
Ing the entire life of the fish. each
year adding two layers. a light col
ored layer formed in summer and a
dark layer formed in autumn and
winter.
The alternate layers are sharply
contrasted and very distinct, SO that
there is no difficulty in counting
them. The number of pairs of layers
is equal to the number of years the
fish has lived. BY this method Wal.
lace has made an interesting study of
the distribution of fishes of the plaice
species over various sea bottoms, &C.
cording to age. In this way the ra.
pidity OF growth of fishes and the eff.
feet of fisheries on the population Of
the sea can be determined.-Scie

"sT. ELMO" PRESENTED HERE.
Attraction at the kerredge Saturday
Worthy of a Larger Audience.

The presentation of est. Elmo" at
the Kerredge theater Saturday was de-
serving of n larger audience. one
thing which perhaps detracted from
the attendance is the fact that in
Augusta Evans novel, from which the
drama is taken, the dialogue OF the
various characters are interspersed
with a great many discussions of eth
ical, literary, artistic, scientific and
historical subjects. Theatergoers
perhaps feared that some of this would
appear in the play and, as entertain
ment rather than the cleaning of edu-
cational information is sought In the
theater, many remained away. the
author OF the play. however. while fol-
lowing the dialogue and action of the
book quite closely has eliminated all
the pedantic talk and used only such
of the conversation as bears directly
upon the development of the story.
The cast was fairly capable one, par
ticularly Miss Fairfax. in the role or
Edna Earl, and Lafayette Mckee. as
st. Elmo Murray, both of whom snow
ed considerable ability and made a
very favorable impression. The COM
pany played a return engagement at
Lake Linden last evening.
