EAGER TO WORK.
Health Regained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman
is usually eager to be busy at some
useful task or employment.
But let dyspepsia or indigestion get
hold of one, and all endeavor becomes
a burden.

an operation" writes a Michigan lady,
my stomach and nerves began to give
me much trouble.
"At times my appetite was vora-

INSTITUTE TO STUDY RADlUM
Vienna Laboratories VIII Be Devoted
to Pure ScIence-To Examine
Waters.

Vienna.-The new institute for the
investigation of radium has been
opened in Vienna by Archduke Rain
er. Prof Franz Exner, who has been
chosen as the director of the new in
stitute, explained in an opening speech
that 1t is to be devoted entirely to re
search into the physical and chemical
properties of radium, and not to the
instruction Of students, nor to study
ing the medical uses of the element
The first tasks to which Prof Exnel
and his assistants will address them
selves will be the establishment of o
standard for the content of radium in
radioactive substances, an exact cal
culation of the atomic weight of ra.
dium, and the examination of mineral
waters and rocks believed to contain
radium.

THE PROUD DONKEY

BY the next day the donkey had
thought of a new reason to give
to the rabbit and the canary. so he
said: well, / see that l shall have
to tell you my secret after all.
Know, then, that my greatness is
in my SOUL"
what is that?" asked the rab-
bit and the canary.
''If you do not know the soul"
answered the donkey grandly, mo
body can tell you what it is"
So the rabbit and the canary
we're silenced and for several days
the donkey strutted around the
field and thought that he was truly
a great animal. Every once in a
while he would say, "Am 1 not the
most beautiful of all animals?" If
the rabbit answered, 81 hardly
think you are as beautiful as the
horse" the donkey would retort,
Nonsense, my soul tells me that
am"
81 cannot hear your soul say
so," the rabbit would say. "That's
no fault of mine," the donkey
would respond, which usually
ended the argument.
But one day when the donkey
was Dragging as usual, the canary
flew gently down and nestled in
his name. Am / not the bravest
animal on earth?" brayed the don.
key. The little canary's heart
was fluttering, but he spoke softly

name than in the name of ~
