HEIGHT AND WEIGHT.
Their Relation to a Mans Chances For

Their Relation to a Mans Chances For
Long Life.
The ideal insurance risk, from the
point of view of height, Is said to be
from five feet seven inches to five feet
nine inches tall, According to the Ma
tional Fratcrnal congress-, longevity
and build have close relation; the
grcntcr the variation In height from
the above figure the greater the risk.
Brockbnnk says that tall men are
not so long lived MS their brothers
whose heads are nearer to the ground.
Men who nre both tall and stout are
not ms good risks as stout men OF me-
dlum or below medium height, says n
writer In American Medicine. They do
not bear acute illness so well, and ac-
cldents to them are likely to be more
severe.
Risks over the allotted limit of
weight are especially liable to dia-
betcs, heart affections. apoplexy, govt,
diseases of the Kidneys and arterio-
sclerosis: excessive eating and abuse of
alcohol are common among this class.
II is stated that stout men under forty
are worse risks than those over forty
and under sixty. and that men who
were unduly fat while they were boys
are considered poor risks. especially IL
the tendency Is hereditary.
Stout men are better average risks
thun their very thin brothers who are
liable to tuberculosis and disorders Of
the nervous system. But for even the
featherweight there Is much consola-
ton. He bears acute Illness better
than the heavyweight. and most of
the people living beyond the allotted
threescore years and ten are of light
build. A slim, wiry, small framed man
is said to be a better risk that q thin
but big boned one

Bio Noses In Japan.

The nose plays a very importan
part in japan. owing, probably, that {
difference in noses constitutes about
the only distinction between one Jap
anese and another. The nose is the
only feature which attracts attention
As there are very few large noses tc
be found In Japan. lady with large
nose is regarded as one specially gift
ed by nature. She is invariably q
reigning beauty and the envy of her
less favored sisters. In all japanese
pictures in which ladies are portrayed
the artists are particularly careful to
make the nose of liberal dimensions.

Attack Like Tigers.

In lighting to keep the blood pure

germs like tigers. But often germs
multiply SO fast the little fighters are
overcome. Then see pimples, boils,
eczema, salt-rheum and sores multiply
and strength and appetite fail. This
condition demands Electric Bitters to
regulate stomach, liver and kidneys
and to expel poisons from the blood.

That our american Forests abound In
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attcsted
by scores OF tho most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness Of many native plants before the
advent Of the white race. This informa-
ton, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue Investigations until
to-day we have rich assortment Of most
valuable American medicinal roots.

passenger vehicles will be for utility
purposes, as the motor car has now be-
come such an important addition to
modern civilization that every man VINO
has to travel any distance must have q
car or fall behind in the fast-moving
world of business.
''The biggest year OF the industry up
to this time" he says, was 10000
cars. at an average retail price of
S1.538. but 1912 will see not less than
0000 pleasure cars. at an average
price Of about S1.100. which indicates a
greatly increased number of cars sell
ing at 81 .oe0 or less, with a substantial
increase in the higher priced cars.
''Of this number. / believe. at least so
per cent will be used by physicians
contractors. statesmen and others for
utility purposes, for the need OF a
motor car In almost every grade OF
business life is now apparent. The
above is in addition to motor trucks
and cars used exclusively for hauling
freight, the demand for which IS con-
stantly increasing.
This line OF trade. however, requires
O careful consideration OF the needs Of
the man who buys a truck. The truck
cannot be sold entirely on comparison
with horses. for the saving of time and
the general services must be taken
into consideration. Although economy
Is important the truck must be judged
solely by the results II offers. Such a
result is supplied In Jackson county, In

The fusillade was furious. In the ex-
element of the battle the troops on both
sides were firing indiscriminately In all
directions. until in the madness of the
moment the conflict became positively
dangerous to human life. From any point
OF view It was difficult 70 decide which
OF tho contending armies was getting the
better Of the melee. At one moment VIC
tory seemed about to perch on the ban
ners Of one side, and then by some sud
den and inexplicable turn of the wheel
of fortune 1t appeared to hover over the
standards Of the other. In one corner OF
the field an indiscriminate scrimmage
