Wind Makes You Work


 Office and workshop management has, in some large businesses, been brought practically to the point of a science Books have been written on the subject and lots of curious little facts have beer ascertained by those who have studied it Office staffs, for instance. work best ln windy weather, as do all brain workers the reason being that in windy weather the ordinary. more or less exhausted city atmosphere is driven out by volumes of fresh oxygen.
 There Is the same difference In the
 quantity and quality of work done in
 offices as there is between that done in unventlated and well ventilated work shops. and for the same reason. No brain worker works as keenly in a stuffy room as in an airy one.
 Damp, dull weather has little or no effect on the output of work in. offices. but 1t has in workshops. Manual la abor is less efficient in damp than in dry air, the reason is that moist air acts es a conductor of electricity and drains away the natural electricity of the body into the ground This does not effect the
 brain. but only the muscles and the spirits.

How Compulsory Duelling Works

The two recent fatal army dues fought in Germany and Austro- Hungary, which prompted the clericals in Parliament to ask the minister of war what steps would be taken to terminate this relic of barbarism. were typical instances of now the innocent suffer and the guilty escape. In each case a husband was killed by the adversary who was responsible for the combat.
 In 8 duel at Metz. Lieutenant Haage of the Ninety eighth infantry was re- quired by the regimental court to chal- lenge Lieutenant von~ La Valette St. George of the same regiment for an al legged invasion of Haage's home Haage fell al the first exchange of shots. thereby vindicating the honor of his unwounded adversary.
 At Budapest Stefan Hadiu. lieutenant in the aeronautic corps. was killed by his brother-in-law, Sigmund Ba aboosay, an of
 ficer of the reserve Bahoesay. an of
 rel with his wife, Hadjus sister. had
 made some insulting reference to the
 Hadju family. This came to the ears of the military authorities. They declared that this family affair could only be set tied with pistols and assigned Lieutenant
 Hadju two officers as seconds, who saw
 to 1t that the duel took place. although
 Babocsay was willing to apologize for
 the insult. This was the twentieth duel fin which Babocsay has been involved.
 The fall of General von Heeringon, the
 late minister of war, is generally at
 tributed to the last rechstag debate on
 the subject of duellng. His statement
 holding out no hope of an abolition of
 compulsory duelling in the army was highly displeasing to the leaders of the
 powerful clerical center party and his retirement followed in due course. Gan- eral won F'alkenhayn his successor. like all Prussian officers, holds the same views, believing that officers must fol- low the code in defending their honor or leave the army, The utmost to which the army authorities are willing to go Is that duels for trivial causes are to be prevented and that officers who sby their unworthy conduct provoke duels must leave the army.

SAD SEASON

By Edward Speyer. Now is the season of trembling.
 While feigning a nonchalant ease. The rockies. their feelings dssembling. All wobbie wee at the knees As Turkeys that think of Thanksgiving g They view each Bush Town where they
 stop
 And figure in horror on living
 So far from the Ultimate Top.
 The others from terror set free, Give comfort with faces ayerted:
 Goodbye, Bo. I'm glad it ain't me . As northward the big league club pushes, This slogan resounds through the iand; "A tear for the last to the bushes,
 ''Hurrah for the next to be canned.'

How Thin People

A NEW DISCOVERY

Thin men and women, that big. hearty. filling dinner you ate last night What became of all the fat producing nourishment it contained? You haven't gained in weight one ounce. That food passed from your body like unburned coal through an open grate.

This is true of thin folks the world over. Your nutritive organs. your functions of As- similation. are sadly out of gear and need reconstruction.
 Cut out the foolish foods and funny sawdust diets. Omit the flesh cream rub-ons. Cut out everything but the meals you are eating now and eat with every one of those a single Sargol tab let In two weeks note the difference. Five to. eight good solid pounds of healthy stay there" fat should be the net result. Sargol. too, mixes with your food and prepares it for the blood In easily assimilated form. Thin people gain all the way from 10 to 25 pounds 2 month while taking Sargol. and the new flesh stays put. Sargol ta ablets are a scientific combination of six of the best fesh-producing clements known to chemistry. They come 40 tablets to a package. are pleasant, harmless and inexpensive and Lee & Osgood and other dealers sell them subject to an absolute guarantee Of weight increa5s or money back.

BIG TIMBER CARGO
 COMING TO NEW LONDON
From Pacific Coast on the Way to
 Toronto.

Steamship Robert Dollar of San Francisco, loaded with a cargo of 5,000,000 feet of timber, taken on at Victoria, B. C.. is expected to arrive in New London Aug 26 or 27. A com munication to this effect was received by Supt. John McCraw of the Central Vermont railway Monday morning. The big steel freighter of $500 tons capacity and nearly 500 feet in length is now at the Straits of Magellan and will shortly be headed northward on the Atlantic side of Cape Horn.
 Arrangements are now under way to provide the necessary means of trans portation for the big cargo of lumber from New London to it's destination at Toronto. The steamship win tie up at the westerly side of the Central Yer mont pier and the big sticks of tim Der will be swung by derricks to the flat cars which will carry them for the balance of their long journey. Cars 40 feet in length will be required for the purpose, and 800 of them will be need ed to take care of this single cars }, This is only the first shipment of a total of 25,000.000 feet to be sent by way of New London to Toronto
 The coming of the ship is regarded as one of the most important comrn.r- cial events in the history of the city If not absolutely the most significant. Governor Baldwin characterized it re- gently as in his opinion the first step in placing Connecticut on the map as a maritime state. For this reason the advent of the ocean liner will un- doubtedly be made an occasion. of a municipal celebration in the city.
