ed S. T. C. 1t was invented by a
German surgeon named Hammer of
Stuttgart, who explains It's cabalistic

initials of the Latin words 'scobis

sifted sawdust." And this is precise

dust is baked in furnace and then

Many Undraped Scarecrows in Military Service

years ago were hardy German and
Irish emigrants of stocky build, which
may account for the great difference
in the percentage of strong men in the

Many recruits from the country dis

sissippi are found to be i'll fed and I'M

that the universal custom of waving
several pounds under the minimum
weight "gers many an undraped scare

Capt. Jones further says: I'VE
must take the figures cautiously. AS

that we are getting different type OF

him down, declares Leslie's Weekly.
If you're not succeeding, have a heart

you haven't so many brains as you
have been giving yourself credit for;
or maybe you don't know how to use
them to get results. Have ten-min-
ute talk with yourself every night,
and do it in the cOldest-blooded way
you possibly can. Every little failure
cf the day should be analyzed-every
opportunity you have let pass you I'M
caught should be used as a club on
your brain. Then avoid those errors
