Eating Too Much

From the Woman's Home Companion.
1t Is a well established fact that the ma
jority of people eat too much. They take
more food. especially with underexercise,
than the body can assimilate and the re-
suit is superfluous fatty deposits. This
is especially true around middle age when
the body is no longer growing and hence
does not require the amount of food it
required when the process of growth az
well as of waste was going on. The re-
suit is the taking on of superfluous flesh.
the tendency to exercise still less de-
generation of the heart muscles, hence
impaired breathing. which deprives the
body of one of it's greatest sources of
strength and energy.
An abundance of pure air with full,
deep breathing. and especially out of door
air, is one of the first essentials of sound
health and of unimpaired vitality. If this
can be combined with adequate daily ex-
ercse is as simple even that of walk
ing, so that 1t is done regularly and with,

Summer Muff Latest Fad
The latest frivolity of fashion is the
summer muff. an extremely beautiful and
muffs are composed of chiffo and flowers,
cost heap of money and can rarely be
used more than once. OF course you can
never depend upon the English summer,
so for the early days of May they did
not come amiss now and then, for the
winds We're often most searching. espe-
cially for those with short sleeves. The
Duchess of Sutherland and Lady Rose

mer muffs at a recent function-her grace

were looking more at the muff than at

Wasting a National Asset

From the Brooklyn standard Union.
According TO the United States bureau
of mines, the waste of natural gas In this
country is shameless-it ought to come
within the range of the criminal law. Es-
Inmates show that the annual loss amounts
to about S40.00O0o0. and most of 1t Is due
to Indifference. In some instances gas
has been spouting for years and no effort
is made to shut it of. OF course the
time will come when this nation will
heartily regret the waste that Is now 60
ing on. ssf
Natural gas is considered the most per-
feet fuel there is. and II would seem that
the company or Individual which permits
one of these great underground reservoirs
to be emptied without humanity getting
any benefit ought to be held accountable.
The gas fields, like the coal and petro-
leum fields, are too great national as
set to be wasted In wanton manner.
Some day there will be urgent need for
the gas that has escaped. but then, Of
course. it will be too late to remedy the
damage.
The government conserves forests, inn
pounds water for arid sections. holds in
reserve some coal deposits. and In other
WAYS looks after and develops natural
resources, and it seems that it should
have control of the gas fields SO that
an end would be put to the insxcusabls
waste. -

The Wonders of Fertilizers

From the Journal of Agriculture and
Star Farmer s
Manure has a peculiar effect upon
the ground. In some way it loosens
the food necessary to plants by quick
ening the chemical action of the SOIL
and inert soil particles change into ac-
tive food constituents for the growing
plants. It is not alone the direct food
value that is at issue but the whole ef-
feet upon the physical, chemical and
bacterial life of the soil that must be
considered. In England and other Euro
pean countries where the soil has been
titled for hundreds Of years the produc-
tion today exceeds that of former years.
In fact the wheat production In Eng
land during the Middle Ages was not
as good as it is in the northwest to-
day. At present England produces
more than 90 bushels of wheat to tho
acre, France 90, Austria about IS, and
the productivity of the fields of the
Belgian and Dutch farmer are almost
beyond belief. This has come about by
giving back to the soil everything that
could be fed it in the way. of manurial
value. In this respect American farm
ers have much vet. to learn.

One lady was in tremendous state of ag-
itation to the ultimate fate of her pet

his hand and was pointing out the state
ment contained therein that the club was
formed with view to promote inter-
course good feeling and cordial under

was finding much humor in this state

subscription was Just up, so he naturally

Champion Umbrella Loser

Attorney w. Fl. Boyd can lose more
umbrellas than any man in, Cleveland.
Time after time he blossoms forth,

One rainy day last week Boyd ap-

luncheon and sat at a table with James

Boyd was desperately clutching a

feet firmly upon it to the hilarious de-
light of his friends. Then, when he An

Schooner Worked by Women

There sailed out of Breton recently tho
schooner Hiram which is commanded and
chiefly worked by women. The vessel
which Is 100 years old, is commanded by
Mrs. Georgia Orne, and the only man on
board is her husband who has signed as
first mate under his wife the rest of the
crew being women. Mrs. Orne is not
suffrasette. but she has owned and COM
manded the Hiram for s6me years She
is good navigator and a daring and
excellent sailor Having trouble with her
crew of men last season. she determined
to replace them with women and so the
ancient schooner manned by women
sailed for the coast Of Maine to pick up a
cargo of timber for New York She will
bring back from that port cargo of
coal. Mrs. Orne was al the Wheel and
the doughty woman skipper gave her
orders as sharply and accurately as any
man could, while her female crew smartly
executed them. There was a big crowd
at the pier to see the Hiram Off, and
rousng cheers followed the vessel as she
made her way out of the harbor Every
steamer gave the schooner salute, and
ola shippers declared that the Hiram was
as well handled as any crew of men could
have done it.

Honeymoons Arc Shorter

For a long time honeymoons We're of in
ordinate length. Couples went off on
lengthy expeditions to shoot big game,
and were away for seven or eight months.
Others made voyages round the world.
This season all that is changed. The
majority of the brides and bridegrooms
of the immediate past are now back in
London to share in the gayeties of the
moment. Mr., and the Hon. Mrs Wynd-
hams honeymoon lasted only about 10
days. and Mrs. Wyndham was back in
time to be presented at the last court.
In Ireland a bride does not enter the
parents house for 80 days after her mar

elect to visit, she takes off her shoes at
the door and gets into "a pair of old ones.
