HUMAN SPINE IMPERFECT
Baltimore American.)

According to the osteopath, you do
not have perfectly formed spinal col
umn, for he is firmly convinced that no
person in the world has back that is
perfect His ideal is a spine of a
particular curve, whose twenty-four
bones are at equal distance apart, Of
the same formation on. both sides and
equally distant from the sides Of the
body
The childs spine is much nearer
normal and far straighter than the
adults and the society woman who
does not work is more likely to have
a back whose curves comes nearer
the ideal than the college athlete. The
spines of strong men, such as the la
borer or pugilist, are most defective,
for the reason that constant pull and
strain on the spinal column accentuate
its weaknesses. The Igorrotes, strong
as they are, have weaker and more
crooked spines than civilized man.
The spines of lower animals are
stronger and more normal than ours,
and consequently are not so readily
affected by disease. If man had de-
cided to walk on all tours his spine
might be just as good as his cats or
dogs. Spinal trouble started when
our ancestors determined to walk
upright, and even after untold centur-
les it seems that the human spine has
not thoroughly adjusted itself to our
method of going about. Spencer
wrote: THAT all-important organ,
the vertebral column, is as yet but in
completely adapted to the upright pos
ture. Only while the yigor is con.
siderable can there be maintained
without appreciate effort those mus
cular contractions which produce the
S-like fiexure and bring the lumbar
portion into such a position that the

EVOLUTION OF THE ELEPHANT
(Pall Mall Gazette. }

- go ANRAA NGh-C'ICsj
The past sorrows of the elephant
lie almost too deep for tears, If Prof.
A. S. Woodward was right in the ac-
count he gave at the Royal institution
of his evolution. Elephants were
originally little creatures, whose legs,
for unexplained reasons, grew. longer
while their necks grew shorter. Con-
seq1emly they became unable to res, h
Lnerr food, and-what wonder! Their
faces then grew longer also. In stmlltr
circumstances any one of us Would
have a face as long as a fiddle.
BIT the disease provided the rem
edy. The face became so long that II
touched the ground, and 10! the food
was once again within reach. Nay,
more. The elephant, gaining the pow
or to move his face about in all direc-
tons. doubled his sources of supply
by being able to reach the branches OF
the trees. So from being the most
miserable of created beings he became
the most favored Of vegetariaus.

OYSTERS GOOD UNTIL JUNE
Months With Letter ar" Best How.
ever, Excepting May.
(Leslie's Weekly.)

1t will be of great interest to every
housewife who enjoys good oysters u
learn that oysters are in better condi-
ton and favour in March, April and
May than they are in February If the
winter is severe oysters do not have rs
much of their natural food during Jan
uary and February and frequently lose
a little in plumpness. AS soon as the
water begins to get warmer in March
and April the beautiful little microscop-
ic diatoms, which constitute the prin-
cipal food of the oysters, multiply more
rapidly, consequently the oysters
grow fat and improve in texture and
flavor, SO that they are frequently at
their best in April and May. In June,
however, they begin to grow milky, and
while perfectly wholesome, the flavor
is not as appetizing as during the fall
winter and spring This information
is important because there has been a
pOpuldl lucd IndC do SOOl dS d hlOuIu
comes in the name of which the letter
"R" is not found, the oysters are not
SO good. This rule is correct concern
ing all such months excepting May.
The letter "R" is found in all from
September to April, inclusive.
Prof. Phelps, of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, has recently
added his opinion to that of Prof. Cor
ham, of Brown University, and Prot
Nelson, of Rutgers College, and other
scientists, by coming out strongly in Il
lecture and in an article in the Science
Conspectus, condemning sensational
writer's who seek prominence and not
oriety by attacking different food
products without regard to the facts.
So far as the evidence goes, it is Il
thousand times as dangerous to drink
milk as it is to eat oysters, and it is
hundred times as dangerous to go on
a railroad train, or to go in an auto
mobile, or to walk the streets whe e
automobiles abound, as it is to eat
oysters. One death is claimed from
eating oysters in two years, while TO-
$50 person were killed on steam rail-
roads in the United States in the year
ending June 80, 1912.

EATING TOO MUCH

(Woman's Home Companion)
1t is we'll established fact that the
majority of people eat too much. They
take more food. especially with under
exercise, than the body can assimii-
aat. and the result 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 as well
as Of waste was going on. The result
is the taking on of superfluous flesh,
the tendency to exercise still less, de-
generation Of the heart muscles. hence

the body of one of its greatest sources
of strength and energy.
An abundance of pure air with full,

of sound health and of unimpaired vi.

who were present.

the most prominent Japanese and
Americans were present. A very cor
dial feeling prevailed.
Shortly after the luncheon Messrs.
Mabie, Peabody and Mott and num-
Der of representative Japanese Chris
tians and Americans met at the resi-
dence of Count Okuma, former premier
and minister of foreign affairs. Count
Okuma delivered a speech, during
which he said that diplomacy, the
courts and commercial men were help

Christianity remained Otherwise ne
declared war was impending.
Mr.. Mott agreed in replying that
the influence of Christianity was
now superlative.

ION'T PLACE ALL EGGS IN ONE
BASKET

1t is at last coming to be realized
1among the farmers of the South that
/ to tie themselves to one crop is but to
invite disaster. The day of the one
crop farmer is passing. 1t should pass,
and pass forever A new era has
dawned, and the farmers of the South
are not slow in seeing the new sun
that has arisen. Cotton is still king
and will remain king, but in a diffe.-
ent way.
AS writer in the Review of Re
views expresses it:
Southerning farming has been bas-
ed, as a rule, on the sale of single
money" crop. Low cotton prices have
meant poverty to cotton farmers. Low
prices for peanuts and tobacco have
spelt hard times in the peanut and
tobacco regions. A big cotton crop
brings, not only less profit, but actual
Is less money than a small one Here
are the figures for tire years: The
crop of 1907, 11,1OI179 bales, was
worth 1913, 100000; the crop of 1908,
1924 ,799 bales, was worth $5SS,8l0,-
600; the crop of 1900, 10,OO4.949 bales.
was worth SS,35O,OOO.
The reason for this is not far -
seek. The farmers depended upon
cotton, and when there was big cot
ton crop the buyers, knowing that
they would have in any case an abun
dant supply, simply took the cotton
offered for sale in the fall, as much If
it had to be, at their low prices. The
producer was helpless. He had raised
the cotton, but it largely belonged to
the supply merchant or the banker.
This condition still prevails to "a
great extent. Even this year there
will be organization and speech-mal-
ing and great gatherings to limit the
cotton acreage.
Such efforts in the past have prob
ably not been entirely valueless; bat
that they should be considered neces-
sary at all is sufficient proof of the
essential wrongness of the whole
system of farming
This fact Southern farmers are
coming to see. No one nowadays talks
about increasing the total cotton crop.
Indeed, some have gone so far as to
say that Southern farmers know
enough about growing cotton. This IS
ridiculous, for it takes fully three
times as much land as it should to
grow the number of bales produced in
any one year. Thinking men all over
the South realize, however, that this
will continue to be true until the
South changes from cotton-farming
section to a general-farming and live
stock section.
The new spirit of Southern farming
is not so much the spirit of reform rs
the spirit of revolution; and the revo-
luton is even now taking place
1t is, to be sure, taking place SO
gradually that the actual change s
really process of evolution; and Que
which requires an observant eye to
notice at all. But the spirit that in
spires and directs the slow evolution
from one system of farming to another
is radical spirit which has dared to
cut loose from the old ideas and es-
tablish for itself ideals undreamed OF
by past generations.
A single crop system of farming has
Eeyer yet failed to result in depleted
soils. and depleted soils always means
poor farmers. This the great body OF
Southern farmers are coming to see
