Double. Barreled Escape.

MINERS are among the most heroic
wi people in the world. Danger is
always beside them, and they are
schooled to believe that at any time
they will come face to face with
death. The result of this is that they
are humorous in their holiness.
In one of the mines in the North Of
England there was a cave-in which
imprisoned a miner. The accident
happened on Friday afternoon, and
the fellow laborers of the entombed
man set to work to dig him out. 1t
was not until Sunday morning, how
ever. that they reached his prison
chamber, and by this time they were
wondering whether he had been suffo-
Gated or starved to death. One of
them stuck his head through the
aperture made by the picks of the
rescuers and called out:
Jack, are you all right
All right came the reply, and
then, after a pause: What day is
this?"

ed warning about keeping our bodies

that are our protection. Have you ever
thought on these things?

with the germs of tuberculosis, to say

Metchnikoff describes the white cor

of the body against disease through
their power to destroy disease breeding

Danger in Half-Knowledge.

That such discussion does take place

lum has swung too far in one direction
1t is bound to swing almost as far in
the other. Much as some persons de-
plore this open talk on such topics, sure
iy it is to be preferred TO the prurient
curiosity that works in secret and to the
half knowledge that leads to many dan
gerous things,
1t is less than 20 years ago that 1
heard a mother mention casually that
she and her young son had had talk on
an equal standard of morals for both
sexes. A relative of the mother gasped
with dismay.

awed voice. that you have ever men
toned matters Of that kind to your
