THE FRYING PAN HABIT.

Writers on how to find health when
living close TO nature in the woods
and glens suggest that more health
seekers might be successful would
they but get rid of the frying pan
habit; or if they must need take it
along it is advised that they desist
from soaking in lard everything that
is put into it, For Of course it is not
the frying pan itself but what goes
into it that does the damage. One of
these writers says give a man a piece
of meat and some potatoes and he in
stinctively looks about him for the
historic frying pan, this being to him
the only known method of cooking.
The same author takes a rap at the
factory or shop girl who, ignorant Of
every culinary art, equips herself for
the arduous duties of matrimony with
a relay of canned goods and that dire
full utensil, the frying pan. The un-
fortunate husband becomes first a
fault-finding dyspeptic and then II
besotted drunkard. And all because
of the frying pan habit, which had
coated his stomach three times daily
with layers of lard, thereby causing
an unusual craving for stimulants.
But enough has not been said to prove
the diabolical work Of the frying pan
combined with that Of the unlettered
mother. Her children are pictured
as pinched and starving, mentally,
morally, physically. 1t is further
maintained that such women furnish
work for 'high cost Of living" COM
missions.-Atchison lobe.

served for the end, when the tourist
sends his car over the seawall boule-
ward. The seawall is monolithic
mass of reinforced concrete which
cost more than s62 per lineal foot.
The boulevard runs parallel with the
beach, II feet above mean low tide.
From width of 16 feet at its base
the seawall tapers to five feet at the
top, and this top is transformed into
delightful promenade. Why Gal
weston has become the Playground
of the Nation" is easily understood
when the delights of the surf amid
thousands of bathers are experienced.
Back of the boulevard there is a
gentle grassy slope toward the city
that has raised itself permanently
above flood level, by bringing in, in
ocean going dredges, millions of cub
ic yards of sand filling Galveston's
beauty is enlarged in the mind of
the tourist when the cost of its at
tainment is fully realized. When the
grade of the city was raised, every
shrub and tree was relaid, every
house raised and every sewer replant-
ed, every sidewalk and pavement re-
newed. Approximately $l,5OO,00O was
spent in this undertaking. Then
there is the Hotel Galvez, fronting
the seawall boulevard and overlook
ing the Gulf of Mexico, modern
six-story structure built Of solid
fire proof concrete in Spanish mis-
sion style of architecture. 1t is the
result of demand for a perfect host
elry in the southwest, and, with its
furnishings, represents an outlay of
more than $1,0OO,OO0 through popular
subscription of Galvestonians, sub
scriptions ranging from $50,000 to
500.
A trip to Galveston would be in
complete without visit to the fam
Gus beach automobile race course,
running for miles along the edge OF
the gulf, the scene of annual con-
tests between speed-kings of interna-
tional repute. Automobile racing
and Galveston have become closely
related since the other beach courses
have given up the battle against un-
favorable tidal conditions. Before
Galveston county spent $5O0,OO0 on
good roads, all these attractions were
unavailable to the automobile tourist,
except by slow and uncertain ferry
barges across Galveston bay. All
good roads in Texas now lead to Gal
veston's causeway, across which lies
the playground of the Nation" the
greatest cotton port in the world and
the second port in the United States
in value of foreign business.

Great fissures Have Appeared in the Earth While
Tidal Waves |nundate Coast Government SAYS
it is Impossible to Estimate Number Of Dead
United Press.


TOXIC, Jan. 14.-Estimates of the
volcano fatalities are impossible, the
government admits it is mere guess
work. The belief is general, how.
ever, that thousands are dead. A
commander of the naval squadron
sent to the scene last night sent a
wireless confirming the reports that
Kagoshima is practically destroyed.
The city is deserted and it is un-
known how many perished. Most all
of the buildings burned when vol
canic rocks started fires.
Six inches to foot of ashes covers
the earth as far east as Osaka. The
commander of the squadron in his
message says the eruptions are as
violent as ever. Huge fissures ap-
pear in the earth. A slight tidal
wave inundated miles of the Kiushiu
coast.
Carl Deichman, American consul
at Nakasaki, wires that all Ameri-
cans in the district, including many
missionaries are safe. The Ameri-
cans at Kagoshima are reported to
have fled to Sendal.
Refugees from Kagoshima who
reached the mainland said occupants
of 500 houses comprising the village
of Sakurashima probably perished
or lost their way trying to escape the

Defiers Of Law Should
Be Given a Chance
United Press.

United Press.
DENVER, Colo, Jan. l4.--"Every
young man convicted for the first
time should be given another chance
except when conviction is for the
most serious offenses. That chance
need not be through his being turned
loose on the community We should
have an adult probation law, enabl-
ing men to be put on probation as
boys are, in the state reformatory,
and given his freedom as soon as his
behavior, his intentions, his past and
the history of his parentage may
warrant"
Judge Charles C. Butler who today
finished his first year on the Grim
inal bench here, gave in these words
the gist of his theory of real justice
which one year of dealing with Grim
inals of all classes cause him to
formulate.
Under the present SYSTEM" he
continued, except in the rarest
cases where the Judge exercises the
limits Of his discretionary powers, the
good, bad and indifferent must be
sent to the penitentiary if certain
verdicts are rendered. Colorado
doubtless has one of the best con-
Quoted prisons in the country but any
penitentiary is a breeder Of crimin-
ais.
''For hardened men who persistent
ly defy the law and for those who
are predestined from birth to com
init crimes, the penitentiary is neces-
sary and no one is greater believer
than | am in the segregation Of the
real criminal. But my experience on
this bench has taught me that only
a small per cent of the men and wom-
en- who are convicted before this bar
are criminals by instinct and desire.
That society will Ultimately deal with
the born criminal, not as criminal,
but as a diseased individual, have
no doubt.
"The problem of the hour in Colo
rado is the obtaining of an adult pro
baton law whereby those who have
been convicted of their first offense
will be sentenced only tentatively, to
be released if it is proved that So
eiety will be benefited more by their
freedom than by their Imprisonment

NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA
AND EUROPE FORMERLY ONE

North and South America, Europe.
Asia. Africa and Australia were for
merly all one immense continent.
They became separated and the At
lantic and Pacific oceans were form
ed ages ago when the crust Of the
earth split into great gaps from pole
To pole. That this is the true expIa-
nation Of the present arrangement of
the earth's surface is proved A. Hen
ry Savage Landor believes, by new
evidence which he gathered on his re-
cent long and periious trip into the
least known regions of South Amer
lea. 81 have never believed" saws
Mr.. Savage Landor, in the account OF
his expedition just published, sin the
well known theory that continent,
now sumberged once existed between
America, Europe and Africa where
the Atlantic ocean now is. Here Is
what really happened: The earth at
one period changed its shape-when,
Is merely guess work and is of no
consequence here--and the crust of
the earth--not the core, mind you,
split into two great gaps from pole
to pole, with number of other minor
fissures. In other words. the earth
opened just like the skin of an over
heated baked apple. The African
and American continents. as well as
Australia, with New Guinea, the Cele-
bes islands, the Philippine archipela-
go, and China, which before that
event formed part of one immense
continent, thus became divided, leav-
ing North and South America iso-
lated, between the Atlantic and the
Pacific, which were then, and only
then, formed. 1t is easy by looking
intelligently at a map, to reconstruct
the former shape of the world You
will notice that the most western
portion of Africa fits exactly into the
gap between North and South Amer
lea, while the entire African coast
between Dahomey and Cape Colony
fits perfectly. in all its indentatons
and projections, into the coast line
Of South America. The shores of
western Europe in those days we're
joined in North America, and find
today their almost parallel and we'll
fitting coast line on the east coast
of the United States and Canada. On
the opposite side of the world, the
western side Of South America, the
same conditions can be noticed, al
though the division of the two con-
tinents (America and Asia) is there
much wider. Fragments were form
ed, leaving innumerable islands scat
tered in the Pacific ocean, half way
between the actual continents Of
Asia, Australia and America. A
mere glance is sufficient to show how
well Australia fits in along the Chill
ian and Peruvian coast, the great is
land Of New Guinea alone part of
Peru and Ecuador and the west coast
Of the Central American isthmus. The
Philippine islands probably in those
days lay alongside of Guatemala,
while California bordered on Japan"
In further support of his theory, Mr..
Savage Landor cites likeness Of fea-
ture, language, habit and state of de-
velopment between South American
tribes and those of the lands over the
seas
