The Danger Of Lying In Bed.

Lack Of muscular exercise Is the iirst
result OF lying in bed. As result the
appetite il weakened. the digestive uc-
ton slows down and the muscles OF the
stomach and abdomen cease to act
upon the intestinal mass. When the
body is In q recumbent position the
heart works with the least expenditure
Of effort and the least fatigue and the
circulation and the functional activity
are decreased. But unless the subject
is exceptionally vigorous all the bene-
dts are counterbalanced by dangers. In
bed the subject IS shut away from
fresh air and sunlight The result of
that deprivation is condition similar
to anemia. But the supreme menace
to the weak or the aged confined to bed
is the clogging OF the pulmonary circu-
lation. an action which frequently re-
suits in passive congestion Of both sides
Of the lungs. For this reason the SIM
pie fracture OF bone may be the
cause of death. because when the pa
tent lies in bed there is no movement
of the muscles to act as an incentive to
deep breathing. -Harper's.

The completion of the Quebec-Mi-

great lakes to the southern part of
Florida, is expected by the close of
the summer Of 1913.
Already that section of the road
from Rouse's Point. on the Canadian
border to Washington, is ready to
travel, save for few miles in. Mary
land. and this bit of road will be
completed during the coming spring.
From Washington south, there will
be new road through Virginia and
the highway will pass over historic
ground, crossing no less than 81
battlefields of the civil and revolu-

of the Titanic. Allan had had the mis-
fortune to miss the ship on which he Is

Allan was one of the last who saw Col
onel Aston alive.
After Allan told "Bil" Snyder and
some OF his assistants at the Central
Park menagerie of seeing Colonel AstOr
leaning over the rail of the Titanic and
waving to a friend in a boat, before the
steamship went down, he started for the
Aston home to ask for Vincent Aston.
