Health and success are so largely dependent upon balance. upon Synl~ metry of development. physical and mental harmony. that we should do everything possible to secure that physical poise which also means meiI- tai and moral poise. X IuigC part of our ills come from one sided devc!o;- ment, caused by oyerstimulating some tissue cells aud starving oJhers-orer feeding and underfceding. Scientific feeding. therefore. is of vast inpor- tance.

 One of the most pathetic sights in the world is that of human being struggling hard to carry out his ani- bition. yet handieapping himself by his ignorance of physical laws. What a pathetic figure Carlyle cut in the world-a one sided giant who might have been a symmetrical power. possessor of colossal brain largely controlled by dyspeptic stomach.

A "Mite."

The difficulties experienced by our forefathers in trying to reckon money in very small proportions appear in the various values given to a mite" in the sixteenth and seventeenth cen tury books of commercial arithmetic, The original mite" seems to have been third of Flemish penny. but the use of the word for the widow s coin of the New Testament made it's regular English meaning half far thing. and some old people may re member applying the name to the short lived nineteenth century coins of that value. In those old arithmetic books mite stands for various val ues not represented by actual coins, but obviously used in reckoning. X work of 17O6 makes it one-tweifth of a penny. two sixteenth century books one-sixth of farthinG. and in 1GIi Jeakes arithmetic made it as little as one sixty-fourth of a penny.-Lon- don Chronicle.

At last the record breaking musical sensation, "A Knight for a Day, is to be seen here, coming to the ElkS Theater on Wednesday, Dec. s, and in all it's scenic picturesque garb. After whole years run in Chicago this operatic comedy craze is to be shown in a few larger cities. The scheme of the book involves a will leaving an immense fortune to be shared by the holders of two identical Corsican medals. Then you have a simple plot around which has been woven many pretty songs, some grand choruses and incidents so fast and furious it re- quires company of over seventy peo- pie to unravel it. Robert B. Smith, whose efforts as librettist is fay-

 jutator in Raymond Hubbell a com
 poser of the first rank who surely

 of catchy airs, pretty choruses, etc..
 some of which are worthy of grand opera. The central characters in "A

His comedy part her is a servant lady of a type that might be imagined in nightmare af- ter searching intelligence bureaus. The balance of long, energetic cast of capable principals are busy all evening helping out with the fun which at times seems as if tornado had struck the theater. so great is the applause. What seems to be the real kernel of the entertainment, $ by some regarded as the famous American Beauty Chorus. The dag zling display of energy and life of the choruses, especially the antics of the songs, Life is 8 See-Saw''', Little Girl in Blue" 'Whistle as you Walk Out and others, all will be remem- bered and hummed with pleasure.
