RACE NOT GOING BACKWARD
Proof That the Men of Today Are at
Least Taller in Stature Than
Their Ancestors.

Some time ago when it was wished
TO use some ancient suits of English
armor for a pageant it was found that
they were all too small for the use of
The average man. Now comes SIM
liar story from Germany. The GUS
todian of a castle near Innsbruck, a
man slightly under the average
height, says that he has tried on every
suit of armor in the castle and that
they are all too small for him. The
custodian of the castle of Voduz, who
is of still lesser stature, says the same
thing of the armor under his care, and
we are reminded of the low doors and
short beds that are so distinguishing
feature of old Gothic houses.
Is it possible that the human race
is increasing in stature? 1t would
seem so. We can hardly account for
this on the ground of athletics, seeing
that the old knightly pirates of the
days of chivalry were athletic enough
Physical vigor was their stock in
trade.

INDIVIDUAL FACTOR IN HEALTH
Something to Which in This Genera
ton Too Little Attention Has
Been Devoted.

The greatest event in medicine was
the discovery of the germ origin of a
large number of diseases.
That discovery has already enabled
the world to stamp out several cpl
denies, and in time will enable us to
stamp out all contagious diseases.
But for that splendid advance, a
price was paid-as always. A part
of that price was the neglect of the
individual factor in resistance to dis
ease.
There are infections which nc
health can avoid. But in a larger pro
portion of cases a person in full vigo1
and training will pass unharmed
through infections which will over
whelm a weaker individual.

value of physical vigor and vitality, o1

Eve For Business.

In one of the missions along North
Ninth street the other evening sat a
man, who apparently had tarried too
long in drinking places. AS the meet

quarter in the tambourine as it was
passed along. This caused a chorus
of approval from the workers, one of
whom went down to the man and be-
sought him to give testimony.
After some hesitation the man
arose to his feet and in a choked
voice related his experiences. Finally
he spoke of the many saloons catering
to the thirst and stated his desire to
see all, excepting one. put out of bust

True Love,

Love is the publication of the heart

and the power to love truly and devot-
