What one man loses. another man galn..

What one man loses, another man gains, if an enterprise is sound.
 Therefore, do not banish enterprise. Men are agrad that their neighbors will make more money, than they. If they did not fret themselves about 1t and did not wish to pull down their neighbors but to build themselves up, the world would go on better.
 Our administration and Congress may well think over these points, for they rest on the natural laws of the world, which are eternal. The laws of Congress are not eternal.

EIectricity's Effect On Children.

Interesting Investigations into the sf-

size and mental development were kept
in an adjoining room without electrical
treatment, says the Dietctic and Hygenic
Gazette. 1t Is stated that at the end of
six months the children under electrical
treatment showed an average growth of
two inches. while those without electricity
grew only ia inches.
The electrified children showed an in
crease in weight and other forms OF de-
velopment In proportion to their height.
The electrified children also showed an
average proficiency In studies of 90 per
cent, and Is of them showed 100 per cent.
The unelectriied children, on the other
hand, were only IS per cent proficient on
the average. and not one of them reached
100 per cent.
1t is added hat the electrified children
appeared to be much brighter, quicker and
more active. They were prompter In at
tendance and much less subject to ia
tigue. The teachers also showed superior
working capacity in the electrified room.
While there was an odor of ozone in the
room, 1t was held that the presence of
ozone would not account for the results
observed.
