TEST YOUR, LUNGS.

A Simple Method by Which One May -, Moasurs His Development.
 People often suffer from weak, uh- developed lungs without suspecting 1t True. small feeble lungs are usually associated with 8 small, narrow or Runken chest, but not invariably. By means of the misuse of physical cul- Iure it, is possible to develop large chest muscles, thus acquiring big chest measurement, while the lungs remain small and i'll nourished.
 Again, lung mischief is often so slow and insiduous in it's approach that the trouble is not discovered until it is firmly established. Here, however, is simple test which will tell you whether your lungs are healthy or not:
 Take as deep breath as you can, and then, in slow but distinct voice count from one onward as far as you can without taking in more breath The number of seconds you can con tinue counting is a pretty reliable in. dex to the state of your lungs, so you should have some one to time you
 If your lungs are sound and normal- ly developed your range will be be- tween twenty and thirty five seconds, If your limit IS between ten and twen- ty seconds, there Is no need to-be a1armed; probably your lungs are merely in need of exercise, to be readily obtained by regular deep breathing in pure air. Arrange of less than ten seconds, however, points to more or less mischief, and you should not delay in having your lungs ex- Rmined by medical man.--London Answers.

MAGIC WAFER TOYS.
Wonderful Play Toys That Amuss tn
 Children of the Orierc

Wonderful Play Toys That Amus0 the
 Children of the Orient.
 Europe and America turn out for the editicntiOn of their children many in geuiuuS toys. but the occidental young ster$ have nothing to compare with the strange expanding water toys with which the children of the far east have for centuries amused themselves
 These are placed in small wooden boxes similar to the little paint boxes so often seen in our own country. They have the appearance of soiled shavings, broken matches and dilapidated tooth picks. but when thrown into the water the ingenious toys at once exhibit prop critics that show them to be considera- bly more than mere bits of stick.
 The wood of these toys has been kiln dried, and immediately it touches the water fl begins to absorb the water and to expand almost indefinitely. As 1t increases in size it separates and suddenly opens, becoming very pret ty toy One stick will change into a fiowerpot containing. it may be, rose bush in full bloom. Another becomes an obese mandarin carrying an um brella Still another will take the form of sea serpent, very ferocious in it's tiny dimensions.
 Then. 100. there are toys which show as whales. tigers. crocodiles, etc. The figures are colored and present be wiIdering variety in design and treat ment Their manufacture is trade secret, kept inviOIate by the guild that turns them out by the thousands.
 For older children there are provid ed larger and even more artistic fig ures. consisting of historical charac- terS-rulerS. poets and soldiers-and dwarfed trees. and tiny houses, whose doors and windows are full of inmates. are also among this class The more ordinary kind cost a mere song, but the finer toys are! quite expensive.- New York Press

Following. the I4 Important Improve ments' of 1912, The Hendee Mfg. Compa. ny announce no less than a dozen sddl- tiOnal new features in thell 1918 model of the Indian Motorcycle
 By far the most significant feature of the new machine Is the Cradle Spring Frame. It Is something entirely new. a radical departure from the conventional bicycle and recent motorcycle systems of ''springing." Briefly, the new device consists of the application to the rear wheel of the Indian Cradle Spring device as used on the front fork for the past three years.
 Extending back horizontally from the frame joint cluster under the saddle, flank ing the rear mud guard, are two z leaf Chrome Vanadium steel springs. The "C'' shaped eurls at the rear end of these springs are connected by stays to bell eranks on which the rear axle Is hung. The forward end of the rear fork has a hinge joint which enables the rear wheel to yield to imperfections of road surface, All shocks are completely absorbed by the leaf springs. The rear wheel can go through almost any vertical motion with

TURKS BRA We BUT

ONSTANTINOPLE. Nov. 2s.-ForeiCn
observers here are daily aroused to utter
condemnation Of the Turks by reason Of
some peculiar display Of characteristics
which are different from that OF the
peoples Of the west.
Their indifference to the suffering OF
their fellowmen and the wanton waste
OF life displayed horribly In the wrecks
OF humanity walking the streets OF Siam
boul and Pera and in the piles OF dead.
necdlessly large in the cholera camps, Is
offset by the courage Of the officers and
crew OF the cruiser Hamidleh, after a
lack OF prccaution had permitted a Bull
ssrian torpedo boat almost TO blow her
up.
The Hamidiehs captain brought his ship
back TO Constantinope in "A manner few
European commanders would have adopt
ed. He took course across the deep
sea, and arrived al the Golden Horn
with the decks of the cruiser eighteen
inches above water. The ship was prac-
tlcally sunk at the entrance To the dock,
and the engineers apparently now are
unable to move her In or out.

Losses 100000.

II Is impossible to reckon accurately
the number OF Turks lost by their own
Decentralization and indifference to hu-
man life. but II seems safe 10 say that
100000 have become ineffective since the
war began.
While several divisions in Macedonia
surrendered and laid down their arms.
and many thousands were made prisoners
those who died In battle or from cholera
probably aggregated between 40 900 and
$4,000. while those who became ineffec-
tive through lack OF nourishment and
care OF the government, according 10 the
statement OF a Turkish staff officer
number 5000 and probably more.
The Turks continue TO boast that Asia
Minor can supply hundreds OF thousands
more recruits.
