Iahounhsra and the Bible.

One day a friend went into the office
of London Truth and offered to bet La
bouchere that he could name book he
had not got in the place. On inquiry
this book was specified as the Bible,
Labouchere offered to bet the man 500
that he had this book, and then deftly
turned the conversation, writing mean
time note furtively to the clerk out
side to go downstairs to the booksellers
underneath and borrow Bible. Later
he returned to the subject Of the bet
and, calling the clerk in, bade him pro-
duce the book. He said afterward that
he was afraid the boy hadn't cut the
pages so as to prove it had been In use
some time. This enhanced the joke, as
no one in those days ever saw a Bible
with the pages uncut.

Accordingly, when the Bulgarians
and Servians were generally employed

were put at the front, generally in

When the clash came the Christians
promptly deserted to the enemy, leav-

At the same time the Bulgarians

NV Dear Sir:-Final returns indi-
cate that the Blue Sky bill has been
defeated by small margin, numer-
Gus causes contributing to this result
including:
An overloaded ballot;
Ambiguous ballot title;
General tendency to vote mo;
Popular prejudice against new COM

Erroneous impression that the bin
would have added to the burden ol
taxpayers;
Lack of funds with which to mee'

defeat of the bill.
There is no question of the need

man takes too much exercise is the
startling assertion of physician
at the Conference on Hygiene for

The city man is said to be too fond
of rushing from the intellectual toll
of his office to the strenuous golf
links. One doctor stated this prac-
tice is fruitful source of neuras-
thenia
1T is simply draining your ner-
vous system and energy by two taps
instead of one" he said.
According to this expert there is

no relation between the size of the
muscles and health.
Most of the delegates preached the
simple life for city men, who were
all too busy to attend the sessions of
the conference.
All the heavy artillery of the med
ical men was brought to bear against
the business lunch and the business
men were told to either go without
it or drop meat from the midday me-
nu. One delegate drew a gloomy pic
ture of the crowded drug stores in
the business districts where the tired
office men resort for "bracers."
