rarely ever makes any great effort
to recover balance in case of slip
ping or topping over. So no special
resisting force is exercised and the
child Or adult simply sinks into a
heap without serious injury.
On the other hand, when an adult,
with his faculties alive and working
normally, falls, he attempts to save
himself. He goes through all sorts of
contortions and draws up every sinew
and muscle until it is tense. Then if
the wrench or shock caused by fall
ing is too severe, the bone breaks.

ABOUT INJURY IN FALLING
"a special providence hovers over
drunken men and children"
This saying is frequently heard, but
perhaps the majority of persons never
thought that it really had some foun-
dation.
AS matter of fact, the main cause
of bone breakage from falls is due to
the resistance of the tendons more
often than from the violence of the
shock.

RED TAPE AND A TUB.
A Bath In Senegal Was Something
Like q Surgical Operation.

Some years ago. when the capital Of
the French colony Of Senegal was a
dull. unprogressive town where official
ism and red tape prevailed. Il French
traveller. with a friend. had a most
amusing experience when he wished
to obtain bath. There was no bath
ing establishment in the capital Of
Senegal at the time. but rumor had it
that it was possible to purchase baths
at the hospital.
Accordingly the travellers repaired to
the hospital. where they stated the
purpose of their visit.

commoner Changes to Monthly

Beginning August Is, the Commoner
will appear as a monthly publication
this issue, July II, being the last
weekly issue of the paper. Mr. Bryan
will not only continue his editorial
work on the Commoner, but under the
new arrangement will be able to give
his personal attention to the prepare
ton of larger part Of the paper than
he has been able to do for the weekly.
It is believed that through this change
the Commoner will be made stronger
an dmore effective as an active, vigil
liant supporter of the great work to
which the Democratic party is conse.
Grated. In editorials written by Mr..
Bryan himself, the Commoner will
meet the attacks of those who are op-
posed to democratic reforms and the
clever Misrepresentation made by
the organs of special interests. 1t
will give timely discussion of the
great questions of the day and will
provide the missionaries lin the demo
cratic field with arguments with
which to confound those who would
mislead we'll meaning men of other
political parties.-Bryan's Commoner.

Critics, More Than Willing

The name of William Jennings
Bryan is about as obnoxious to the
big Interests" as the stars and
stripes to the average I. w. w. agi.
tator, hence it is not surprising that
Mr.. Bryan's every movement is a
subject of criticism at the hands of
the standpat press.
The fact that Mr.. Bryan, who for
seventeen years has occupied the lee.
ture platform as profession, has
saw fit to carry out contracts made
prior to his elevation to the Office
of secretary of state, and is using
his vacation in fulfilling those con-
tracts, has occasioned criticism
never before equalled. The matter
of a vacation each year is so we'll
recognized in the National Capital
that the average clerk in the depart
ment of state is accorded the outing,
and whether he spends it in fishing
or in eking out his salary for the pro-
lection of his family is a matter of
no comment.
The secretary of the navy is in
the Pacific Coast on a junket, and
the secretary of the interior is on
his way west, but we hear no criticism
concerning neglect of their Offices. A
sample of the criticisms of Secretary
Bryan, which may be taken as typi-
cal, is reproduced below, from the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
Another note has been addressed
by the state department to Japan.
1t has not been considered worth
while to take the public into the con-
fidence of the state department, either
as to the contents of the present note
or of the communication from Japan
to which it is intended as reply.
There are several important mat
tiers pending before the state depart
ment at the present time, all of which
are pressing for settlement, and in
respect to none of which is it entire
ly clear what the attitude of this gov
eminent will be ultimately Ambas-
sador Wilson is ordered home from

it's citizens, has sounded the United
States to learn whether this country

lection of the interests of foreigners

Of the term "aqnostic?"
FOUND ITS GOLDEN HEAD.
Riddle Of . Marble Column In Italy
Read by eeesar.

Near the monastery of San Vito. In
Naples. stood u marble column that
had been erected by an eccentric
Frenchman about the beginning of the
last century. On 1t were written In
French the following enigmatic words.
"On May l every year have a golden
head"
The inscription sOrely puzzled the
inhabitants Of Naples. On May l the
year after the erection of the column
great crowd came to 1t in the hope
Of finding the top covered with gold
pieces Needless to say. they went
home with their pockets as empty az
they were when they came.
For several years people came to see
the promised wonder and went away
disappointed. At last the authorities
had the column taken down In the be-
lief that treasure would be found be
meath it. Nothing but earth was
found, and so the column was set up
again. Obviously the words had q
mystic meaning. but no one was clever
enough to guess it. and for years the
riddle remained unsolved.
Finally in 1871 ragged beggar
named Annibale Tosci noticed the In
scrption. He stood looking at 1t for a
long time while he pondered its mean
ing. Then suddenly the solution Of
the puzzle flashed into his mind. He
waited patiently until May before he
tested the accuracy Of his interpreta-
ton of the mystic words.
On the day mentioned in the inscrip.
ton Tosci. bearing pick and shovel
set out at daybreak for the column.
He arrived before any chance visitors,
and as soon as the mOnastery's bells
tolled he started digging in the
ground covered by the shadow Of the
top of the column. He had not dug
long before he came on a satchel that
contained 10000 francs The inscrip
ton was true one-the head Of the
column covered the golden treasure
every year on May /.

sharp guess had given him compare.

domiciled in Mexico. Every report
from Mexico itself shows that sys-
tematic movement is on foot to arouse
the sentiment of the Mexican people
against the United States.
ut seems trifle singular that, with
matters of such grave Importance
pending before his department. and
with no policy fully outlined and made
public, Secretary Bryan finds no diff
ficulty in absenting himself from his
post Of duty and resuming work on
his lecturing engagements"
The foregoing sample illustrates the
treatment Secretary Bryan is to ex
pect at the hands of the stand-pal
press. Had he declined to comply with
his lecturing contracts, those same
writer's would have condemned him
in equally strong terms. That he has
elected to fill his engagements dur
ing his vacation should be rather to
his credit. The fact that he finds II
difficult to save any money from his
salary for the protection of his fam
lily in his old age, is not at all sur
prising when the social duties devolv
ing on his Office are considered.
But, all those considerations aside
Granting that the secretary of state
is on the platform for the sorid mo

the democrats, and honored accord

There's Balm in GilIead

Annent the recent criticism of w.
j. Bryan, secretary of state, by the
grace of President Wilson, and the
greatest man in America, by right of
public opinion, whose lecture tour
has bothered some of our contempor
aries, it is refreshing to read an as
ISOLATED press dispatch in yesterday
papers, to the effect that Mr.. Bryan
cancelled his dates to return to Wash.
ington from Warsaw, Ind, to attend
to business. The tail end of that dis
patch is also commended to the close
reading of Mr.. Bryan's critics. II
reads in the following words: "Mr
Bryan received no compensation for
the speeches he made here today"
