A POETS DIET.
Byron's Strenuous Efforts to Keep
Himself From Getting Fat.

Byron's Strenuous Efforts to Keep
Himself From Getting Fat.
"You mention Browning's idea that
starvation was the cure for all the Ills
of the flesh-his own, at any rate"
says a correspondent. "Browning was
not the only poet with peculiar views
on the subject. One of ByrOn's chief
fears was that of becoming fat, and to
avoid it he often resorted to extraOr-
binary systems of diet. At Athens he
lived mainly on rice and vinegar and
water. Later he confined himself to
six biscuits a day and tea. In 1916 he
had so restricted his diet that he was
obliged to keep down hunger by chew
ing mastic and tobacco. Don juan
was written on gin and water"
Byron, it has been pointed out, was
one of those foredoomed by their con-
situations to fairness in middle life,
whether they eat much or little, and
his victory over nature in this respect
for he succeeded in reducing himself
by these violent methods-has been
quoted as one of the most remarkable
achievements of the human will, con-
sidering all the circumstances. 1t must
have been bitter to him to see such
man as Beau Brummel, who ate and
drank freely and took no exercise, re-
tanning without an effort all the ele
gance Of figure that was his greatest
gift. No wonder Byron's was the po-
etry Of gloom.-London News.

Rt Is Practically Any Hour Of the Day
You Please.
Those who are conversant with the
use of globes know that all the merid-
ians of longitude starting from the
equator converge toward and meet at
the poles. They know, too, that longi-
tude signifies time and that difference
Of longitude is difference In time. They
know very well that when 1t is noon in
London 1t Is about o'clock in the
morning in Boston, and that when 1t is
noon in San Francisco 1t is about a
quarter past in the afternoon In New
York
Now. as the meridian of London ex.
tends to the north pole, it necessarily
ensues that when it is noon in the Eng.
lish capital it must also be noon at the
north pole. In a similar manner when
1t is noon at Boston, or in San Francis
CO, or at Pekin, or any other place
situated in the northern hemisphere,
it follows that it must also be noon at
the pole, because all the meridfans OF
those places unite at the north pole.
Therefore it is noon all day long at the
pole.
Thus there is an entire absence Of
time at the pole. But it would be just
as correct to say that it is place
where there is a preponderance of
time, for it is practically any time of
day during the whole twenty-four
hours or, indeed, through the year.
In fact, resident at the north pole
could make 1t any time of day he
might choose to select, with the con-
seriousness that it would be the right
time.

A GREAT COMBINATION.

When Husband, Wife and MO2her-In-
law Cooperate.
Shortly after his marriage, which
took place in 1880, John Burns, the
British labor leader, settled down as a
jouEneyman engineer In Battersea and
twenty years after confessed that he
was the first engineer to make with
his own hands an electric tram
car in Great Britain. In those days,
however, people did not believe that
electric traction was possible, and
Burns had to take the dynamo and
tram to the Crystal palace and run the
latter round the grounds for six months
before people could be induced to be-
lieve in the novelty.
But the people were SO nervous that,
although the charge was only sixpence,
none of them would venture in the
newfangled invention. Then Burns was
struck with a brilliant idea. He said
to his wife, 'You have got to come
down to the palace three times week
and get into the first electric tram car
as a decoy duck for the others" This
was only temporarily successful. So
Burns brought along his mother-in-
law, land" said the energetic labor
leader when relating the incident,

in-law cooperate success is assured. ="

The strength Of a child,

1t is surprising to find how few parents
know the great strength giving qualities
of good oatmeal Most of them think
of it as food for the sturdy Scotch or
the brawny Englishman, and overlook
its value as food for children. Every
now and then a mother will take to feed
ing her children on Quaker Oats and
will be astonished at their Improvement
in strength and vigor. Of course. she
tells her friends, and they prove it for
themselves, but every mother in the
country should see that her children are
strong and vigorous. Plenty of Quaker
Oats, eaten often, will do it.
