s'The Chicago Stockyards F'irec
 ssJmD" ReIeaae Juua


 One of the most disastrous fires in the history of Chicago was the recent conflagration in the stockyards dis trict in which over 50o people were ren- dered homeless and many lost their lives in the roaring, seething cauldron of flames which stubbornly resisted the efforts of the fire department
 It occurred in Whisky Point" a ram shackle tenement district, in the out skirts of the Union Stockyards the largest in the world
 The Imp company had a camera man on the grounds immediately after the fire started and the moving picture representation is one of the most nota- ble efforts ever made in the way oc a film while while laboring under handi- caps.
 It is pronounced the very best pie ture of a fire ever taken, the scene be- ing photographed from many points. There is the spectacular work of the firemen. the falling walls. the flames shooting hundreds of feet in the air. il- luminating the sky for many miles.

The Human Machine,

Il seems that the body will ordi-
narIly give out per day no more eXter-
nal work than about one-fiftieth of
the energy consumed in the shape of
food. The adult human mechanism,
while more efficient than a large
steam plant, is less efficient than a
small producer-gas plant, assuming all
plants of the same capacity. This
does not mean, however, hat the body
Is incapable o working at greater eff
ticiencies. Under extraordinary con-
ditiOns the body is capable of perform
ing an amount of work far in excess
of the amount theoretically latent in
the food consumed, as witness some
of theremaTkable results among our
athletic records. 1t is even possible
for the human mechanism to perform
external work without taking food at
all, the work so done being at the ex-
oense of the bodily tissue. This is
The case especially in test of endur-
ance, where the extra energy is drawn
from the animal cells.-Cassier's Mag

When Sleeping.

1t is well to sleep from infancy with
the head uncovered, as the hair thus
retains its beauty longer. On retiring
the hair should be raised high above
the ears, without pulling, plated loose
ly in a single braid and tied with a
silk or cotton ribbon. Avoid wearing
starched nightcaps, as the starch is in
furious to the hair. When old age APP
proaches it may be we'll to wear night
caps.
Brush the hair will, using a soft
brush, on going to be dand in the
morning. The best brushes are made
with short bristles. l fthe hair Is
COmbed from the roots downward
without being divided in several parts,
much harm may be done to it. The
hairs would certainly be broken off,
become uneven and could never be
made to look cared for. 1t is an az
cellent thing to smooth the hair with
the hands.
