manly, SO kind, for all his gruffness."
"Ah, my dear" soothed Winthrope,
that is the pity of it. But when a
man must needs be his worst enemy
when he must needs lead a certain
kind OF life, he must take the conse-

possible, yet explain all, need only
say one word-paranoia."
Miss Leslie gathered up her days
outfit with trembling fingers and went
to mount the cliff
After waiting a few minutes Win
thrope walked hurriedly through the
cleft and climbed the tree-ladder with
an agility that would have amazed his
companions. But he did not draw
himself up on the cliff. Having salts
fed himself that Miss Leslie was well
out toward the signal, he returned to
the baobab and proceeded to examine
Blake's door with minute scrutiny.

Attorney General Wickersham. on re-
quest Of the secretary Of the navy. has
given a ruling on the eight hour clause
Of the act appropriating money for

government navy yards and not to
work on machinery and armor done
outside by private contractors.
This ruling will be surprise to la

hailed the insertion Of the eight hour

In the year and failing to remember

Dangers in Dancing.

Dancing has been extolled as a most healthful recreation; as a means of physical culture it favors the develop ment of the muscular system and pro notes health and cheerfulness And dancing is carried on by women whose fashion of dress is of such a nature as to injuriously affect one or the other organ of the body.
 Young girls appear to experience no fatigue after it. They will not miss a single waltz. polka or square dance. but If the pulse of one of these in defatigable devotees is felt after the dance is finished it will be found in the majority of cases that the number of pulsations is far in excess of the normal, and from this 1t may be in ferred that the condition of the heart must react prejudicially upon the en tire organism. and it justifies an ap prehension of danger where girls are delicate.

The Crimea and the whole Black sea region, owing to the sparse popu- lation to consume it, had a great sur plus of wheat For centuries it was coveted by all hungry nations-and exploited by the one with the strong est armies. For centuries after Athens had feasted upon the grain-raising lands beyond the Bosphorus, Mithri- dates, as preparation for his life and death contest with Rome, fell upon the corn fields of the Crimea. Because Sicily was yellow with wheat from earliest memory, through ages and ages she was raided by all the powers of the world. It was because of Egypt's corn, more plentiful than any where else along the Mediterranean. that Caesar and Pempey wanted the land of the Ptolemies. It was when Rome held or controlled the granaries her first and dearest conquests-of Sicily, Sardinia, Spain and Egypt that sM could become mistress of the world

CHOOSING THE LESSER EVIL
Sammy's Experience Advised Him of Wisdom of Selecting His Own
 Punishment.

In Sammy Smalfs neighborhood there lived family of boys who were irresistibly charming to Sammy, but not to Sammy's mother. In fact, Sammy's mother forbade him ever to go over to play with those boys again, and threatened punishment should he disobey her
 But one day Sammy disappeared, and his mother made inquiries. She learned that Sammy was over playing with the irresistible boys again. Ac- cordingly, when Sammy returned from his visit he found his mother looking very stern, and with remarkably square, forbidding lap which suggest ed a spanking.
 Sammy was promptly taken to task and stood for moment looking thor oughly miserable. Suddenly he bright ened up and started to leave the room.
 Here, sir Where are you going?'' demanded his mother.

INCREASE IN LEES DURATION
Sanitary Science Has Done Much to Prolong the Stay of Man
 Upon the Earth.

National efficiency depends partly on natural resources, partly on the integrity of social institutions, partly on human vitality, and is a reaction against the old fatalistic creed that deaths inevitably occur at constant rate The new motto is Pasteur s, It is within the power of man to rid himself of everp parasitic disease. Longevity varies in different times and places. The average length of life in Denmark and Sweden exceeds 50 years: In India it falls short Of 20. In Europe it has increased in 3oO years from less than 20 to over 4O years. In Massachusetts, in less than half century, it has increased hYe years. As longevity increases, nor tality decreases.
 The death rate in the registration area" of the United States is 16.5 per thousand; in India it is about 42 per thousand. In European cities it varies from 16 to 40. The dearh rate has been decreasing during several cen turies. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries it was 40 to 5O' e and during the pest periods rose as high as so. It is now 15. In Havana the death rate after American occupa- tion fell from over 50 to about 20. The greatest reductions have been effected among children. The mortal ity beyond the age of 50 years has remained stationary. Special dis eases have decreased. such as tuber- culosis, which is now one-third as prevalent as two generations ago; typhoid fever, which in Munich, after the elimination of cesspools, de creased 97 per cent, and in Law renee, Mass, after the introduction of public water filter. decreased over 80 per cent.

 q did not believe coffee caused my trouble, and frequently said I liked it so well I would not, and could not quit drinking it, but 1 was miserable sufferer from heart trouble and nerv- ous prostration for four years.
 q was scarcely able to be around, had no energy and did not care for any thing. Was emaciated and had con- stant pain around my heart until l thought I could not endure 1t. For months I never went to bed excepting to get up in the morning. l felt as though I was liable to die any time.
 "Frequently had nervous chills and the least excitement would drive sleep away. and any little noise would upset me terribly. I was gradually getting worse until finally one time 1t came over me and I asked myself what's the use of being sick all the time and sbuying medicine so that l could in dulge myself in coffee?
 aSo I thought I would see if could
 1it drinking coffee and got some Postum to help me quit. I made 1t ! strictly according to directions and want to tell you, that change was the greatest step in my life. It was easy to quit coffee because had the Postum which I now like better than the old coffee.
 "One by one the old troubles left until now I am in splendid health nerves steady, heart all right and the pain all gone. Never have any more nervous chills, don't take any medicine can do all my housework, and have done a great deal beside"

Chicago Boys Excellent Reasons for Keeping Silent About Some

Pa" asked Chicago boy, who has recently been making frequent trips to his fathers office, do you believe in gettin' divorced?"
 No. There is altogether too much Of that kind of thing going on."
 Don't you think ma ought to get divorce from you if you did wrong?"
 Why do you ask such questions? You are too young to bother about things of that kind''
 But if you did something that was very bad don't you think ma ought to get a divorce from you?"
 "Oi I've never given the matter any thought. I'm not going to do any thing bad"
 But supposin' you did, do you think ma ought to go on Twin with you?"
 Tt would depend on how bad had been. People who have children should be willing to bear a great deal without letting the world know about it."
 If other women came into your of flee and you pinched their cheeks when you didn't think anybody was lookin and they called you Fuzzy Wuzzy and Tootles and made you give them money to buy theater tickets, do you think ma ought to stick to you?"
 T don't know. I wish you'd stop asking questions and run out and play. You are tiresome."
