FOOD TAKEN IN LIFETIME

II you live to be seventy-five years
old, and are a normal person possess
ing the average appetite, here's how
much food you will consume during
that period of time:
In both solids and liquids you will
have consumed something like 1900
times your own weight in both solids
and liquids, or 54 tons of solid food
and So tons of liquid.
Probably If your desires were nor
NAL you would haev eaten some rs
tons Of bread, which, If they were all
piled together, would equal in size a
small family hotel On that bread you
would have spread about a ton and
a quarter of butter. If you had been
fond of bacon and were to stretch 1t
out in long single slice 1t would
stretch about four miles. You would
have managed to eat about five tons
OF fish and some 10000 eggs, while If
you were at all lover of cheese you
could easily get outside of 400 pounds
of It.
1t is interesting to imagine how, II
you were to see all the vegetables
you had consumed pass before you in
review, they would make train at
least three and a half miles long
Also on that train you could add 10,-
900 pounds Of sugar and 1900 pounds
of salt.
II you we're smoker you would
have used half ton Of tobacco in
pipes, quarter MILLION cigarettes. or
about 10000 cigars.

ABOUT IMPERIAL PORPHYRY


Students OF sculpture and architec.
ture OF the imperial Roman age are
familiar with the magnificent purple
stone known as imperial porphyry, but
few know of the immense difficulties
that were encountered in procuring
the stone.
Weigall. who personally visited the
region whence this stone emanated,
reached the conclusion that the great
distances between the quarries and
the places where the stone was used
must have given the price a boost"
so that the porphyry was beyond all
except the rules OF the earth.
It appears that the quarries from
which this porphyry was obtained are
situated In the eastern Egyptian des-
ert. that region known as Gebel Duk-
han, the Hills OF Smoke" The desert
Is about twenty-seven miles from the
Red sea, opposite the southern end Of
the peninsula Of Sinai. The quarries
extended here and there into the hill
side without any resemblance Of regu-
larity. The blocks of porphyry were
pried from out OF the rock wherever
the work could be most easily done.
They were transported down the Nile,
and in fact to Rome, In the rough.
This purple porphyry was not known
to the ancient Egyptians. Some Ro-
man prospector must have secured the
desert TO find 1t. The barren coast Of
that region was harborless. Each
block OF porphyry must. therefore.
have been carried across the desert TO
Kench. on the Nile, and thence shipped
by river barge to the sea. Then 1t be
came necessary TO tranship it to the
great Mediterranean galleys, and thus
convey it across the treacherous wa
ters TO the port of Rome.
There is no other place in the world
where this porphyry is to be found.
and when the quarries ceased to be
worked, some time previous to the
seventh century, the use Of that stone
had to cease also, nor has it since been
procurable.

Tree Earns s3,2o5.

What is probably the most valuable
tree in the world is an alligator pear
tree at Whittier, Cal, which netted
Its owner a profit of SS,205 in one
year. This tree was planted in 1905
and began bearing in its fourth year.
In 1912 it bore 5000 pears, which sold
for s1,50O, while the sale Of buds dur
ing the same year amounted to ST.
7O5. making the total given above.
The tree is a Seeding, the seed hay-
Ing been planted with a quantity of
other seed which had been imported,
presumably from Mexico. Another
tree which was planted at the same
time, and which stands close to this
phenomenal bearer, has never borne
more than so pears in a season. This
valuable tree is now protected by a
nigh fence built on an octagonal plan.
The pears weigh from eight to twelve
ounces each.

CONCERNING THE TOP HAT

Although the beginning of the "cylin-
der of civilization" as 1t has been
called, can be traced back to the Eliza
bethan era, it is only about seventy or
eighty years ago that the top hat of
the present day reached its final
shape. Since then it has changed
slightly In the dimensions Of the crown
and the curl Of the brim, but the hat
itself has remained essentially un-
changed. The top hat seems to have
had its beginning in the habit Of gal
lants In the Elizabethan period of
cooking up one side of their broad
brimmed, high-crowned felt or beaver
hats and securing them with a jewel.
The French court later developed this
into cooking up three sides of the hat
and fastening one with a loop of rib
bon. From this fashion came the cock.
ade, now used only by grooms and
footmen. The silk hat of today was
born in France, and supplanted the
now nearly extinct beaver hat of prac-
tically the same shape. though consid-
erably larger.

BIRDS LEASED BY THE ACRE

Birds are leased by the acre in
islands off the Cape of Good Hope,
South Africa, or rather the grounds
upon which they breed are rented out
by the agricultural department of
Cape Province to private individuals
who make a business of collecting
and marketing the millions of eggs
deposited by the sea birds. The
islands containing these bird farms
are located in the bays of Saint Hell
ena and Saldanha, and are the chosen
nesting places for myriads of pen
gums, lapwings and other sea birds.
Bird and Dyers are the most impor-
tant islands in the group, and con-
tain the largest farms" In addition
to the egg crop" the government an
nually gathers more than six thousand
tons of guiana which is sold to the
farmers for fertilizer.

SOME WONDERFUL RAILROADS

II you are looking for really excit-
ing railway travel, go to South Amer
lea. There engineers have had to
break all sorts Of worlds records to
connect up the line at all. In Peru
there is a railway which runs between
Callao and Lima and on to Oroya. It
threads in and out of intricate An
dean gorges, and passes along the
edges of precipices; and, with its 63
tunnels. 1t pierces the mountain chain
at height of over $4,000 feet, at one
part reaching 1855 feet. There is
another railway in Peru, that from
Arequipa to Puno on Lake Titicaca,
which crosses the mountains by a
cutting 1860 feet above the sea
Neither Of these lines is long, yet
they both cost considerably over $780,
100000.

FAMILY OF FIVE
All Drank Coffee From Infancy.

It is a common thing in this country
to see whole families growing up with
nervous systems weakened by coffee
drinking.
That Is because many parents do
not realize that coffee contains a drug
-caffeine-which causes the trouble.
(The same drug is found in tea.)
There are five children in my fam
Ily," writes an Iowa mother, "all Of
whom drank coffee from Infancy up
to two years ago
my husband and had heat trouble
and we're advised to quit coffee. We
did so and began to use Posttsn. We
now are doing without medicine and
are entirely relieved of heart trouble
caffeine causes heart trouble when
continually used as in coffee drink
ing.)
"Our eleven-year-old boy had weak
digestion from birth, and yet always
craved and was given coffee. When
we changed to Postum he liked 1t and
we gave him all he wanted. He has
been restored to health by Postum and
still likes It,"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for the little
book, "The Road to WellYille."
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be boiled.
Instant Postum is a soluble powder.
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly IN

sugar, makes delicious beverage

New Phase of Red Cross Activity.

The need of instruction in the prop
er care of children and home nursing
of the sick in the smaller towns and
rural communities of the country has
never been questioned, and although
in some cities visiting nurse organi-
cations exist and anti-tuberculosis so
cieties support nurses in their particu-
lar line of work, it has remained for
the American Red Cross TO take up
rural nursing as q national PROPOSE
ton. Nurses who enter this service
are required by the Red Cross to have
special training or experience in pub
lie health nursing. In the Red Cross
Magazine for October Miss Fannie F,
Clement, the superintendent OF Rural
Nurses, describes the organization
plans and possibilities for good of the
rural nursing branch Of Red Cross
work.
