WHY the Muscles Contract.

Few persons ever stop to wonder
what makes their muscles contract.
Prof. c. s. Sherrington, f. R. S., says
in q paper published by the Royal So
ciety on August 27 last, that an osmo-
sis or mixing process occurs by the
setting free Of Tactic acid, which COM
bines with protein to form a salt
shortening the muscles until they are
from 8 to 81 per cent less than their
original length. The electrical changes
in muscles can be explained by the
formation of this protein salt. To de-
termine whether the shortening of
muscles can in all cases be explained
by this hypothesis, tests should espe-
cially be made of insects muscles,
which contract most rapidly. The
mixing process can occur in a frogs
sartorius muscle in less than four one
hundredths Of second.

Il hesitated for time, disiiking the
idea of having to give up my coffee, but
finally l got a package and found 1t to

"Since drinking Postum in place OF

Crete endured the longest siege on
record, beside which Troy's ten years
seem but a skirmish. In 164S the
Turks, attempting to conquer the
island, laid siege to the capital city
of Gambia, which, however, did not
surrender until September, 1869, after
81 years. Again in 1921, when the
Cretans revolted, the defeated Turks
were able to hold the fortified cities
against all attacks, and many of them
were still uncaptured when the pow

Mrs. Netcher wanted to improve
the grade of goods and the grade Of
customers. This required great deli
cacy of handling. To make the change
suddenly would drive away the old
trade, leaving the establishment with
out new customers to take their place.
Patiently but steadily she made
changes. 1t took years to work the
revolution she planned. All this time

her business day after day. When

God Time for Some HuS-
bands to Let in the Sum
shine.

There are few men, not many,
however, who seldom give their wives
moneyEto spend just az they choose.
The husband keeps such a firm grip on
his purse strings that not a penny es-
capes. Is that fair to the good wife
who performs her share of the work
and bears her share of the RESPONSE
bilitIes? Even if she does not pillow the
corn, drive nails, WELD a brush or
sweep out the store, does she not earn
a portion of the income? How would
the husband.like to have his wife draw
all the money and never give him a
penny? What is fair for the goose is
fair for the gander, is a good adage,
and intends to imply in this case that
all who bear responsibilities should
share in the reward This is year of
plenty, this is the time when Yuletide
approaches and there could not be a
better time than to surprise your wife
with few extra dollars. You will not
miss them and she will know that you
are endeavoring to let in an extra ray
of sunshine. Perhaps you have both
worked as best you could and what
greater happiness can there be than
to approach the Christmas season with
good cheer for all, especially those
nearest at the family fireside. Happy
is the man who can make others happy
as he travels down the road, bestowing
a gift here or a cheerful word there.

that city happy by Illuminating a tsll
evergreen and distributing gifts to
the children. At Kilbourn the large
pine tree on the McManman grounds
will be strung with electric light bulbs,
decorated with pretty ornaments and
loaded with gifts for all the boys and
girls of the Dells City. Happy will be
the occasion! The band will play, some
will speak and others will sing. At
Chicago last year great tree from the
north woods was erected, arches were
made on each side and thousands watch
ed the beautiful play of lights. Let
Baraboo do likewise. Such an effort
would fill the youth with great Joy
and bring one and all to a common
ground at the glad Christmas time.
What public spirited person will take
up the task and with the aid Of commit
tees carry the idea to a success? Il
would be something worth while.

when tie Clouds are Heat 9

While in Chicago a few days ago
we were face to face with the man
who had failed to provide for the pro-
verbal rainy day. This young man is
drawing a salary of $3.50 month, has a
wife and baby and is soon to be out of
position. For some time he has bt en-
the Chicago representative of south
ern magazine and has received notice
to close the office the first of the year.
The discharge came like the explosion
of bomb in neutral territory durin G
the time of war. He has lived to the
limit OF his wage and is now distracted
for he knows not where to go. Fer
every vacancy there are many appli-
cants and he stands in the depths of
gloom. He is but one of thousands.
In fiat building in Chicago there have
been families residing whose heads
have been receiving about $500 a
month. The crash came and they
have moved out of the building one ly
one, no one knows where, but assured
ly into more economical quarters. All
have been caught in the rain and the
wonder is will they remember tie
downpour when prosperity dawns again.
Living on the brink is perilous and has
caused more than one to fall into Il e
bread line.

The Lonesome Mon in the
White House.

Here is man who came to Wash
ington sixteen months ago with wife
and three grown daughters. Now that
wife, who was chum and helpmate,
has passed forever beyond the shadows.
Two of the daughters have been mar
ried and of the happy family only its
head and one daughter are together.
The White house, to which they came
in happiness and in the expectancy of a
beautiful expansion of home life, has
become dreary and lonely abode-it
is transformed into house of mourn
ing and silence. The president used to
like couple of evenings week at the
theater and he rollicked good deal and
had good time. But it is different
now. Lonely, Woodrow Wilson shrinks
from the public gaze, and he even re-
fused to enter into the campaign to
make speeches as has heretofore been
the custom. He seeks forgetfulness of
his own unhappiness in his work, and
eagerly welcomes the responsibilities
of his office. Washingtonians know
and understand, and as they pass the
White house they rarely catch glimpse
of its master, for he is hidden in
favorite corner where the curious can
not go. All, it's a great thing to be
president of the United States, but if
Woodrow Wilson could have it for the
wishing he would doubtless prefer to
be back in Princeton as he was a dozen
years ago, happy with a loving family
in modest home. But even presidents
are not masters of their own destiny,
and he must go on as the lonesome
man of the White house. j. E. Jones

TIE Santa Claus Snip

Former Mayor T.. G. Marriott has
eceived recent copy of The London
Times, which1 tells of the American
Christmas ship ass follows:
Today the ship of good will, the
United States collier Jason, sails from
Plymouth to Marseilles bearing her
Christmas message from the land of
peace to the land of war; On Thursday
she began unloading the British share
of those five million Christmas presents
which she has brought from the United
States to the children Of belligerent
nations of Europe. And then up anchor
and awey to spread the message CT
peace andsgood will over France and
Belgium, over Germany and Austria,
to far Serbia and Montenegro. There
is something inexpressibly touching in
this most happy of thoughts. Great
Britain will know how to value at its
high worth this deed of kindness and
affection on the part of the greatest
neutral nation. We know, moreover,
how to appreciate the full significance
OF the gift. These clothes and dolls,
these toys and apples, sent by rich
and poor, by old and young, from the
e 4ceful West to the riven East are
symbolic of the good time to come,
when wrong shall have been righted and
arms laid down, and Europe may turn
at last whole hearted TO the true Christ
mas thoughts of peace and good will
In this moving enterprise, we are told,
Chicago has taken leading part;and all
who know Chicago will agree that it was
