 From the most trifing habit of facial expression bodily gesture to the most serious tendency to disease constantly meet the explanations 'I just like my mother, 'I am just like my father, or "Our whole family is this way'
 There would be something absurd in placing the sponsibty of stoOp shoulders, short breath, shri voice should surely feel obliged to take the responsibility of such matters Ourselves-f it not generally recognized that heredy adds the seriousness and significance of slight physical defects and enden cies.
 habit independent of inheritance the individual fault will perhaps yield readily to effort to improve than if those traits, though perhaps strongly marked are traceabe through line of ancestry, only generation back.
 It not be scientific but it is helpful for educa- onal purposes to regard hereditary tendencies the habits of ancestors transmitted to sometimes with lessened, sometimes with cumulative power. boys stoop shoulder may be than his father only suggestion of it. girls lungs may be susceptible to tuberculosis than her mother less But whether the characteristic less than that of the parent the inheritance probably increases the need of watchfulness and longer determined effort for the mastery of the tendency.

Young Princes In Control Driving
 Yuan From P0Wef

Shanghai, Jan. 22.-There were in dications, today, that the imperial clan had decided to fight desperately to retain the throne. The younger princes, who have held out firmly against com pliance with the terms of the revolutionists, had evidently gain ed the upper hand and Yuan Shi KaTs removal from the office of premier is believed to be but a mat ter Of a few hours
 There were rumors abroad in PeIz- in that either Tin Tchang. former minister of war, or Teh I4iang, ex- president of the board of war, would be chosen as his successor. The premier's life was believed to be in the greatest danger.
 It was said he might be charged with treason. A death sentence would be the logical outcome in that event unless the throne feared such dras- disaffection of the Chinese imperial army.
 Republican leaders here, today. clamored for a renewal of hostiEitfez They declared that revolutionists lost valuable time by treating with the throne and asked for an advance against Pekin. Already several hun dred republican soldiers have been landed at Chee Foo and an expedi- ton could reach the imperialiSt capi- tai in a few days.
 It was believed here, today, that there was so much dissatisfaction In the ranks of the imperial army that it would put up little resistance if the campaign was pushed vigorously by the republicans.

 4 RARE STORY
Highly Recommends Use of New Preparation Now
 Introduced

MT. A. F. Meyer ,of 917 Main street, City, made the following statement recently in connection with '"Tona Vii ta,'' the remarkable new tonic that is now being introduced in Bridgeport.
 1 have been suffrer from stom- ach trouble and nerVousnes for some time.- There we're times when could eat nothing but liquid foods, soft boil ed eggs, toast and the like, and even this would cause indigestion. Sleep gave me TO benefit, would awaken in the mornings as tired and worn out as when I retired at night, and there were times when I found it impossi- ble to do my work. l was very ner- vous at times, attacked by violent headaches, in fact, I was very badly run down.
 sI had tried all kinds of medicines and had about lost hope when friend suggested 'Tona Vita This new med- icfne seemed to soothe my stomach and acts as a tonic for my entire syS- tenn. It has built me up in every way, and I feel like I've been born again. can eat anything and do hard days work without being tired out. I don't believe there is another medicine like it on earth"
 Such a. statem ents asf tn e foregoing sl1oH9d prove of s0nuseIal Interest to th06es suffering with similar troubles. The specialists who are here 1ntroduc- ing s~Tona ~Vita'' states that members of any family in Bridgeport are likely to be found suffering, with the same nervous deD1liCdLed cOnolClOn or Iho body, as it is an all too common com pIaint in the large cities. where Ma ture's laws are more apt to be disre- gArAed.
 RAII of this nervous, debilitated frouble,0 said one Of these specialists, ''ie due principally to imperfect diges- ton, which is superinduced by the wtrain of modern cfty life. There is too much hastily eaten food. N
 "The specialists are now at the Jennf Bamilton's Pharmacy, sos Main street, where they will meet, the pub He daily, and explain the nature of that modern plague, nervous debility and dem onstrate the value of their re- naarkabIe remedy.
 %Most people, however, are not ser iOusly effected by imperfect digestion, continued he. They are just 1oggy and nervous. and easily tired. They feel worn out after a. little exertion and moody and tired These are the gure symptoms of an overworked 1kofna.ch that needs toning up and reg ulating, sTona Vita will positively accomplish this, toning up and re- storing the organs to their healthy, normal condition.
