HAVE A LOVE TUTOR IN INDIA
Indian Declares That Women Al Well
40 the Men Do the Pro-
posing.

London.-Shridhar w. Ketkar. who
Is advertised as a cultured East India
gentleman. Is now lecturing in Eng
land on "The Art of Making Love in
Ancient India" that is, prior to the
year 700 A. D. He is attracting the
attention Of elderly ladies with mar
riageable daughters, especially girls
who are becoming somewhat passe,
and may next be heard of in this
country, leap year giving to his in
formation and instruction an impor-
lance that would otherwise be lacking.
"One Is most struck" says this
guileless Indian, ''by the fact that the
love Affairs Of the people Of this ear
lier India. / speak only Of the upper
classes, were guided and Influenced by
the professors Of love. These were
generally elderly men (why not wom-
emf well experienced In the ways of
the world, who were paid well for
their advice. They taught men how to
pay their addresses elegantly and how
to make good impression upon q
woman's mind. AS women proposed
as well as men, the professors devised
ingenious means SO that the girls or
the men, who proposed. would, II re-
fused, still save their dignity. The pro-
fessors instructed the young women in
the art OF love making. More often
than not the woman took the initia-
tive and let the man know that she
loved him"
He thought the present system to
be faulty; that while girls are taught
all the arts of love by their mammas
and aunties. the boys get no advice
from their fathers, and. growing up
ignorant and inexperienced, become
victims to be stolen by the more ex-
perienced ana intelligent women.

Lake Huron. Extracts from his diary
give some notion of the kinds of difi-
culties he meets with in his travels.
Telling Of trip from Tanana, start

team to go to Valdez, he says:
Our sled was loaded with robes,

had to cross the wide river; the great
hummocks made this an ordeal; had
to use the ak and break a way for

Here is another night picture further

KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Gaze
For a Time.

It's easy to understand how ordi-
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts
A physician speaks of his own expe.
rience:
Il had used coffee for years and really
did not exactly believe 1t was injuring
me although I had palpitation Of the
heart every day. (Tea contains CAT
feine-the same drug found In coffee
and Is just as harmful as coffee.)
Finally one day a severe and al
most fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me and gave up both tea
ard coffee. using Postum instead, and
since that time have had absolutely
no heart pelpitation except ON one or
two occasions when tried q small
quantity Of coffee. which caused severe
irritation and proved to me I must let
It alone.
when We began using Postum Il
seemed weak-tLat was because we
did not make 1t according to directions
but now we put q little bit Of but
ter In the pot when boiling and allow
the Postum to boil full Is minutes
which gives 1t the proper rich flavor
and the deep brown color.
Il have advised a great many Of
my friends and patients to leave on
coffee and drink Postum, in fact daily
give this advice" Name given by
Postum IN Rattle Crosk Mich
Many thousands of physicians use
Postum In place Of tea and coffee in
their own homes and prescribe It to
patients.

DON'T EAT MORE THAN
ONE PER CENT OF YOUR
WEIGHT PER DAY.

Henry w. Wiley, formerly chief of
the United States Bureau of Chemis-
try, writes an interesting article en-
titled Intelligent Eating" in the Oc-
tober Woman's Home Companion. He
says in part:
Every pound of useless fat which
the human being carries is an i'm
pediment to proper activity. A man
six foot tall should weigh approx
mately- two hundred pounds. II by
strict attention to his diet and exer-
else he can reduce this weight to 100
or 1856 pounds, it would probably
prove beneficial, but If his weight is
allowed to raise to 210, 220, 23O, or
even 240 pounds, he units himself to
that extent for his duties.
Let anyone who is accustomed to
physical exercise, and suited thereto,
climb long steep hill If his weight
is normal and his health good, he can
do this withount any very great IA
tigue; let him then begin at the foot
of the hill and carry weight of
fourty pounds more than he should
and there are thousands of them in
this land of ours-is forced constant
ly to carry this quite unnecessary
handicap.
Food for special activities, or spe-
cial public or private duties, is
matter which has not received any
very great scientific attention. No
set amount of food can be arbitrarily
chosen for the brain-worker or other
professional man. In general 1t may
be said that a man of little exercise
will eat less than one per cent of his
weight of dry food per day. Any
marked excess of food, or excessively
starchy or sugary food, must also be
avoided by the man or woman of
sedentary habits"

THE Muse A filter
To STRAIN THE AIR
catarrh Clogsed NostriIs a Breeding
Place For Deadly
Germs.

The nostrils are perfect ''air filters"
and. when kept in clean, healthy state,
strain every bit of air we breathe,
catching all dust particles, foreign
matter and germs. The air is full of
germs. You cannot dodge them, but
you can safeguard yourself against
catarrh and other diseases contracted
in the process of breathing by keep
ing the nostrils clean and healthy
Catarrh germs will sometimes get in
their work, and you may mistake the
symptoms for an ordinary cold.
Don't take any chances. If you
have stuffed up feeling in the head,
or if your throat is sore or filled with
phlegm, just grease the nostrils with
a little Ely's Cream Balm, draw the
pure, aromatic fumes back in the head,
and you will be astonished at the ef-
feet. In a few minutes you will feel
a loosening up in the head, the nasty
discharge will soon be stopped, the
soreness gone, and you will feel
sense of genuine relief.
Ely's Cream Balm not only wards
off catarrh. but will quickly cure even
a chronic, long-standing case of ca
tarrh. 1t takes the trouble right
where it starts, in the nose and throat,
cleanses, heals and strengthens the
raw, sore inside skin, or membrane,
and in this way drives out catarrh
and makes you proof against this
filthy. disgusting disease.
Summer colds, which often hang on
for weeks. can be quickly cured with
balm. All druggists sell it for fifty
cents a bottle, and the one bottle is
generally all that is needed to effect
a complete cure. Try it today.-THE
