A part OF the theory touching tn
nature of matter is that the ions.
which are the constituents OF atoms,
are not only In constant motion, but
that this energy is working toward
lower quality of matter; that is, that
gold is developing toward copper or
toward some other kind of metal of
less value. So of silver and the dia-
mond. These precious metals never
transmute upward. but always down
ward. The changes may not be OBJ
served In centuries, but in millions of
years they will manifest themselves.
This disintegration of the atom and it's
transmutation into the base metals
suggest two inferences-either the ad
vance OF civilization in the eradication
of gold and other precious metals, or
that the so-called baser metals are of
greater value and use in the social
economy. or course, long before the
eradication Of gold through this proc
ess, mankind will disappear from the
planet yet the lesson Is left by this
scientific discovery that in the great
plan OF nature, copper and iron are
more to be esteemed than gold or
silver.

FIX HOLIDAY GAMES AHEAD
Many Interesting and Amusing Pas
times Known but Not Always
Thought of at Time.

We all know many games to play,
but the trouble is to think of them at
the right minute. If you are going to
give a candy pull or a cobweb party
in the holidays, it is well to have q
good many games thought up before
hand, alternating the romping games
with the quieter ones. in little pro-
gram, so that there may be no awk-
ward pauses.
Have you ever been to a Swap"
party? Each one is supplied with
four or five little bundles, wrapped
so that no one else can suspect the
contents. The bundles may contain
anything, from a t1nsel ball to a sun
bonnet. Each one praises up his own
property without telling what it is,
and the swapping is carried on with
great show of bargaining When
every one has snapped. the parcels
are opened. and the one who has
made the poorest swaps must tell a
story. or suggest game, or in some
way entertain the company After
this come other games. with applies

CAMELS THRIVE IN ARIZONA

Camels live in the African deserts
and In circus tents and-where else?
Where but In Arizona, a rather out-of-
the-way place. as far as most persons
are concerned, but nevertheless a part
OF the United States. There are about
sixty of the circus beasts running
wild. 1t Is said. and they keep pretty
well out Of the way of mankind. That
Is not hard to do. There are great
plains in Arizona where men may

Ing water. 1t ia a desert place, with
no growing thing but hard. dry shrubs
that keep the earth from blowing into
mountains.
Sixty years ago a herd OF Is camels
was brought to Arizona The United
States government brought them here
from Egypt to make a caravan path
across the desert This was before
the time Of railroads. The camels
were good enough on the plains, but
as soon as they struck the rising
ground they were of no value. Rough
travel made their feet sore. Finally
they were all turned loose and forgot
ten. Nobody except a few frightened
Indians ever saw them. and they lived
quietly in the desert. Probably most
OF the original herd are dead now. but
their children are left in plenty. AS
long as the cameIs stay in the desert
and do not come to inhabited regions
where there are horses to brighten,
there is no reason why they should
not live undisturbed.

THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When Baby.

II parents realized the fact that cot
fee contains drug-cGf etne-which is
especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
the babies coffee to drink.
when 1 was a child in my moth
er's arms and first began to nibble
things at the table, mother used to
give me sips of coffee. AS my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals /
never knew there was anything to
drink but coffee and water.
"And SO contracted the coffee
habit early. l remember when quite
young the continual use of coffee so
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley, then
ground it In the coffee-milI, as a sub
stitute for coffee.
But 1t did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was
long before Postum was ever heard
of. / continued to use coffee until

work, l began to have nervous spells.
Especially after breakfast 1 was SO

"At night. after having coffee for
supper, 1 could hardly sleep, and on
rising in the morning would feel weak
and nervous.
