Men and Women.

AS times 20 on we have the two re-
suits to be anticipated. Men reach
the point usually early in life-where
business or politics absorbs their
whole attention, and they have little
time, strength or interest left for the
broader culture and the amenities of
life, while women are prone to be too
much preoccupied with these things,
TO the injury of the home-not, per-
haps, in its smooth running, for in
the average American home the
wheels of its machinery do usually
run smoothly, though at great expense
and to the injury of the home spirit.
II the two could be averaged we
should more nearly approach the ideal.
Men need more relaxation. more rest,
more variety, especially as they ad-
vance in life. Women need more con-
centration, more definiteness in their
work, and especially more interest and
q different kind of ideal in their home
making.-Mrs. N. D. Hills in the

PURE FOOD LAW NOT MODERN
Centuries Ago Tradeemen Who Adult

Pure food laws are not quite so

dictate some sort of supervision of the
food supplies delivered to the palace
nearly 5000 years ago. Labels have
been found that were once affixed to
"a jar of pure olive OIL" We may
wonder what tests were employed and
what would happen to the man whose
oil was found to be not pure. Prob
ably something unpleasant, for there
was no Supreme court in those days.
We know what happened IN the mid
die ages to the enterprising tradesman
who adulterated his goodb In 1444
a Nuremberg merchant vas burned
alive for mating foreign material with
his saffron and the saffron itself was
used for fuel. Probably that artistic
touch impressed the matter upon his
memory.
Some Augsburg bakers who used
false weights and bad flour were
ducked in muddy pool, and through
faulty knowledge of the human re-
spiratory system, or sheer careless
ness, they came to the surface dead.
In 1882 a wine merchant was or
dered to drink six quarts of his own
adulterated wine, and as he died soon
after it is evident that the adu'tera-
