ARTERIoScLER0sls IN CITIES
Many Factors Tend to Produce Ar
terial Degeneration and conse-

It Is very generally felt that the
high-pressure conditions of city life,
the immoderate use OF alcoholic slim

combined with worry and the in
creased demands which are every

LIGHT PRESSURE ON EARTH
Science Has Cons Far Into Subject
and Figures Force Reaches Ia
600 Tons on Globe.

Light. travelling its 10000 miles .
second. once was regarded an ethereal.
immaterial something in vibration ST.
mon Newcomb, in his Popular AS
tronomy," issued in 1878, said of this:
IF light we're an emission of material
particles, as Newton supposed it to
be. this supposed pressure of light
would have some FEASIBILITY. But
light is now conceived to consist Of
vibrations in an ethereal medium and
there is no known way in which they
could erert any imLelling force on
matter"
But today Newton is supported and
science has gone so far into the pres
sure of light as to figure that this light
pressure on the globe reaches $4,000
tons. Further, along the lines OF de-
duction. there is pressure upon any OBJ.
ject that reflects or that absorbs light,
the pressure being greater on the re-
lecting matter. That mankind is
not to be smothered or knocked out
by this. however, is shown in the fact
that $4,000 trillions OF light particles
strike the globe every second, these
overwhelming numbers of particles
equaling a five and one-half pound
shot falling the $1,000 miles In a sec
ond. Unless some unknown influence
suddenly should CONCEAL the immeas.
urable corpuscles of light into solid
shot, each striking every second,
there's no danger either of death from
the shots or of a darkness, relieved
only by the sizzling whitehot missiles
bembarding us.

Spring Clipping Of Horses.

The modern practice among the best
posted and most progressive horse owners
and farmers is to clip all horses IN the
spring. 1t Is done on the theory that in
their natural state horses were not obliged
to work, so could shed the winter coat in
comfort over period of several weeks.
Since we oblige them to do hard work on
warm spring days. the winter coat should
be removed for the same reason that we
lay of our heavy winter garments. Clipped
horses dry off rapidly. hence they do noG
take cold as easily nor are they as prone
to be affected with other ailments as I'm
clipped animals whose longer hair holds
the perspiration for hours. Because clipped
horses dry of rapidly they rest better. get
more good from their food and come out
in the morning refreshed and fit for work.
Since the advent of the ball bearing en-
closed gear clipping machine, the work OF
taking off the winter coat is easy. With
the machine horse can be clipped all over
in half an hour, whereas with the old two
hand clipper it required several hours to
do it.
Dairymen also now clip the cows all
over two or three times year. The TANKS
and udders are clipped every three OF four
weeks. so it is easy TO clean the parts be

my wife and drank our first cup
of Postum a little over two years ago
and we have used 1t ever since, to the
entire exclusion of tea and coffee. 1t
happened in this way:
About three and half years ago

rectly, neuralgia OF the stomach. My

or tea, but l became convinced, after
q time, that they aggravated my stom-
ach trouble. i happened to mention
the matter to my grocer one day and
he suggested that give Postum a
trial.
Next day It came, but the cook
made the mistake of not boiling 1t suf-
ficiently, and we did not like it much.
This was, however, soon remedied,
and now we like 1t so much that we
will never change back. Postum, be
ing a food beverage instead OF drug,
has been the means OF banishing my
stomach trouble, / verify believe, for
am a well man today and have used
no medicine.
