A Historic Spot

The newly hetrothed lover commits stoned an artist to paint certain secluded nook in the rocks on the shore because there he had declared his passion.
 The picture was painted but before it was done the lover said to the ar tist:
 "Of course, will see you through on that picture, but my engagement is off, and naturely it would be pain fully suggestive to me-. If you can sell it to somebody else will take an other picture and be extremely oblig- ed besides"
 The painter assented to the arrange ment, but within a week his patron presented himself.
 Its alright" he said. "Ill take that picture"
 "Am I to congratulate you on the renewal of your engagement" the artist asked.
 The other seemed little confused but quickly recovered his self-pos- session, and laughed as he said;
 "Well. not exactly, it was the same place but the girl was different.

DOES MODERATE DRINKING PAYq


 Answering the argument of the moderate thinker that there is cer- tain quantity of alcohol which can be used without danger, Dr. Henry Smith Williams, the wellknown in- vestigator, says:
 "Conceivably that is true. though 1t is not proved. In any event no man can tell you what that safe quantity is-if safe quantity there be-in any Individual case.
 But this much l predict with con. hdence: Whatever the safe quantity Of alcohol for you to take, you will unquestionably at times exceed 1t. In tolerably wide experience of men and of many nations, l have never known a habitual drinker who did not sometimes take more alcohol than even the most liberal scientific esti- mate could claim as harmless There fore, l believe you must do the same
 T am bound to believe, in the light of what science has revealed, if you take alcohol habitually CD that you are tangibly threatening the physical structures of your stomach, your liver, your kidneys, your heart, your blood vessels, your nerves, your brain; (2) that you are unequivocally decreasing your capacity for work in any field, be 1t physical, intellectual or artistic; (3) that you are in some measure lowering the grade of your mind, dull ing your higher esthetio sense and taking the finer edge off your morals; (4) that you are distinctly lessening your chances of maintaining health and attaining longevity, and (5) that you are entailing upon your descend ants yet unborn a bond of incalculable misery.
 Such, I am bound to believe Is the probable cost of your moderate indulgence in alcoholic beverages. Part of that cost you may pay in per son; the balance will be the heritage of future generations. As a mere business proposition. is your glass of beer. your bottle of wine, your high ball, or your cocktail worth the price?"

FEED MEAT Ia IhEl2 DIET
Scotch Specialists Make Assertion That 1t Should 3e Supplied to
 Young Children.

There is q prevalent misConceptiOn that meat is net good for young chil- dren. Drs, A. Dingwen Fordyce and k. W. Scott Carmichael two famous Scotch specialists in the diseases of children, in an article on "Glandular Tuberculosis in Children" published in the Lancet, combat this old fash toned idea. They write:
 Constantly We see otherwise healthy children suffering from indi- gestion due to overfeeding with bread, porridge, potatoes, biscuits, cakes, sweets. Comparatively rarely do we see indigestion due to excessive meat eating. Most certainly a large amount of meat in the diet of a healthy young child Is likely to cause digestive trou- ble. But the point Is that an adequate supply of flesh meat and fish In the daily diet Is not only beneficial, but is. as a rule. necessary to hes 'th.
 During the first half of the sec. ond year the child should get this ami. nal food in the form of egg. bacon or fish. Thereafter he should be given daily at dinner a little chicken. rab- bit or butchers meat. We consider that deficiency of animal food-in the shape of meat. fish and eggs-in the diet. along with the common co-eXist. ent carbohydrate dyspepsia, is a wide spread and important underlying fac tor in the development of various in- tectious, and is more particularly one of the primary causes of cervical glandular tuberculosis

Wisdom of the Anclents.

It is now believed that the ancients used telescopes for astronomical pur- poses. In excavations fin Babylonia a lens has been found which was un- doubtedly used fin a telescope cen turies before the birth of Christ The ancients, both Chaldean and Egyptian, were acquainted with the planetary system, knew that tho earth was round, could calculate meridians ex- actly, calculate the orbits of the plan cts; in fact, paid great attention to eclipss> of the sun and moon, to oc- cultations of the paanets, to the mo- tions of the planets, and the determi- nation of their periodic and synodie times, to the construction of tables of the fixed stars and the mapping of them into consultations and to set ting the exact length of the true solar year. It is fair to presume, then. that they had telescopes to aid them in their work.

It Was minated that the trial in me Becker case that the defendant all though innocent of the murder of Ros- enVnal, feared to testify in his own be- Hau because of the probable unfair sFlllmg he would receive from the rOSecuhng officer, This may be very charitable view to take of the ,aIure Of man to testify in his own Oeuah. Under the law he has the .'snt to testify or not to testify. The Ole person however who knows best oHe'her an accused man is guilty or innocent Is the accused man. From | ne standpoint of simple justice, is it s sV' weakness Tn our system to say
 "' the one person who knows the truth may not or shall not testify.

MIR. FORD'S BENEV0LENCES.

Considerable comment is made on ,,o latest move of Mr. Henry Ford in ..nraction with his distribution of pro e4, among his workmen. It is re- ] nnmbered that not long ago Mir. Ford ;noroased the wages of his 10000 em- nlovees so that they earned great loal better wages than they former l., did and this fact was heraldcd over tbo comtrv and heard with astonish- uont and wonder. Now Mir. Ford nroposes that certain habits and rules of decorrm shall be maintained by the uOrkmen in their domestic life. We do not know just exactly what the roouirements are made, but some have criticised the action because it is ar cned that the common laborer has inst as much right to exercise his avn nri,ileges and desires in private domestic life IS Mir Ford or anybody else. This is true to a certain extent. This same argument is used by people everywhere who are opposed to re- forms and progress in civilization. The fact must not be overlooked how ever that none of these worlanen are compelled to work with Mir. Ford. So they are lroa after all. Now if Mr. Ford is raIirg the right kind of re- quirements instead of ruining his pre- 7ious act of hcnevolence he is improv- ing them and making them worth far more to the laborer than the mon ey they received could possibly be. We do not agree with the opinion that he has c5un,cracted his great work in dividing profits. MT. Ford has an op- portunity af being of great help to a great army of workmen in a moral as well a- friendly way.

A contemporary remarks that he heard lady say the other day that she is careful and discriminating in buying groceries and that she buys only from grocers who use a sanitary refrigerat5r and which screen their goods from flies. If such groceries have not au advantage over the others they ought Co have. Discriminating consumer will not knowingly buy grocerc, which have been on familiar terms with flies. The grocer who has enterprise enough to keep his goods rom the yontagion of insects very likely has not enterprise enough to sweep his floors or wash his hands. The grocer should be as tidy as a cook, but myl now we are getting down to another subject. Bad as the grocery store seems to be there are kitchens that are worse. It could De assumed that the lady who de- mands spotlessness at the grocery store keeps a dirty kitchen but it is quite possible. Let's clean them both up' Look after the screens and swat the fly.

18th
BIRTHDAY TODAY

A quarter century of prosperous
existence was rounded out today by
the Eva Plantation Company. Twen
ty-five years ago tomorrow ground was
broken for what was to be the most
noted sugar producer in Hawaii.
The history of the Eva company
is the story of several years of bitter
struggle for existence and two decades
OF rich harvest as a reward. For five
years it did not pay a cent in divi-
dends. Since then it has paid back its
original capital many times over. For
10 years its crop has gene above the
&c ,000-ton mark.
The company was originally capital
lied at $750.000. Soon after it started
business in 1890 came the great panic
of 1893. With the entire commercial
and financial world bowed under one
of the greatest financial panics it has
had, the company struggled to keep go
ing. In 1895, when the clouds lifted
and prices rose thinks began to look
up and the next year the first divi-
dend, a large one Of 80 per cent, was
paid.
Between 1895 and 1895 the average
price had risen from 3.27 cents to 1852
cents. That marked the turning point
in the company's career and the be-
ginning of its success. Between 1896
and 1900 it made great strides, aided
by a rise in price to 4.57 cents. 1t
increased it's area under cultivation,
enlarged its plant and improved its
equipment.
The company is now free from deb,
all its outstanding debentures being
wiped out. IT has 1900 acres of cane
land under lease, and has 81 artesian
wells and eight pumping stations VITA
a capacity Of 81 600, 10000 gallons a day.
The company owns no land in fee
simple.
The banner year of the plantation in
size Of crop was in 1911, when it reach
ed 34,S50 tons. 1t was in this year
also that sugar commanded the high
est price since 1900. The biggest yield
per acre was in 1909 when 1t averaged
9.07 tons. =.
