ENIGMA OF GROWTH.
Reasons Why Persons Do Not Keep On
Growing.


Six pounds and half is the weight
OF the average child at birth; at the
end of the first year the average weight
is eighteen pounds and half, gain
Of twelve pounds, and at the end Of
the second year the weight is twenty
three pounds, gain of only four pounds
and half. And with each successive
year the gain is less and less until ma
turity is reached Why is the gain less
each year? And why does il finally
cease altogether?
The reason is that the absorbing sur
faces inside the stomach and intestine
do not and in the nature of things, can
not grow proportionately TO the growth
of the body as whole. During the
first year of growth the child's body be-
comes approximately three times as
large as it was at birth, but the in
terror of the stomach and bowel of the
child at the age Of one year is not
even twice as large as it was at birth,
let alone three times as large Yet all
the nourishment which supplies mate
rails for growth has to be absorbed by
the membrane which lines the stomach,
and especially the small intestine 1t
is, therefore, plain that growth Of the
body as a whole must gradually subside
as the tissues to be nourished gradual
ly approach a size at which their de-
mands balance the utmost supply of nu-
triton taken up by the stomach and m
testine
Another reason why we gradually
cease to grow is that with the advance
in years we are usually called upon to
expend proportionately more energy in
the business and pleasures of living
The infant which grows so rapidly lays
most of the time asleep, leaving most
of its nourishm~nt for growth
Experiments show a curious difference
between the amount of food necessary
to increase any of the lower animals
the same number of pounds during the
period of growth. 1t was found that
the amount for all lower vertebrate ami
mails was practically the same, but that
the amount for man was six times as
much Also experiments prove that in
lower animals "a per cent of all the
food consumed is utilized for growth,
while in man only 5 per cent. is so util-
lied.
Although adult men are on the aver
age larger and heavier than women OF
the same age, girls between the ages
of ~ and Is are larger than boys Of
that age.
Finally, recent discoveries indicate
that the thyroid and other ductless

Who're The Sugar Is

When she was near the end of her
long life Mrs. Julia Ward Howe said
to Il friend that the world grew con-
stantly more interesting to her.
Every year she got more pleasure out
OF the passing days. And she was
ninety when she said this. She was
stibjec., OF course, to the Weakness
and inhrmity OF such ripe old age,
and she had to diminish the activi-
ties in which she delighted. But
that made no difference to her. The
bowl OF life, she said, grew sweeter

old gracefully on which Phillips
Brooks preached Il sermon entitled,

he said, "hast kept the good wine
until now." That is what we want.

Tho MILKING Machine

The milking machine has gone the
way OF some other fads which never
ripened into popularity. The cost Of
operation, the difficulty OF keeping 1t
free from germs and the questionable
thoroughness with which it did its
work has led to the retirement OF the
machine wherever It was installed.
The milking machine originally was
the Invention OF two Scotchmen. In
this country some improvements were
added and it appeared that one OF the
