THE CHANGING DISEASE"

People who are studying the tango
the one step, the turkey trot, the hest
tation walk, the kitchen sink and
other modern dances in their moral
s aspect alone have another thought
coming to them. 1t is not question
or morality at all, but the world has
simply gone tango mad. The funny
part OF it is that the doctors AID
neurologists and alienists haven't
diagnosed it as a mental disease
sort OF exaggerated peralis, or foot
storm. as distinguished from brain
storm.
There is precedent for this diagno-
sis. Under the heading, Dancing
disease" the Encyclopedia Americana
says:
An epimenic nervous disorder.
apparently allied to hysteria and
chorea, occasionally prevalent In
Germany and italy during the
middle ages. As 1t has been in
every instance chiefly propagated
by physical contagion, like
cholera, there IS every reason to
conclude that it had a like origin.
In 1894. during the celebration
Of the festival OF st. John at AK

FOR USE IN THE MOUNTAINS
Monster Locomotives That Are Con-
structed With Capacity for
Getting There"

Not long ago the railroads resorted
to the use of from one to six locomo-
tives coupled together to pull heavy
freight trains over steep grades in
the mountains of the West. That was
costly pulling, for each engine re
quired a half crew. Where as many
as half dozen locomotives manned
by a dozen or more men were need
ed, now a monster locomotive de-
signed especially for crawling over
"the hump" in the mountains does
the work at great saving. The mon
ster machines may justly be termed
the "dreadnaughts' Of the railroad
world, for certainly they fear no load
man can put on them. They can
walk off, with a string of cars look
ing nearly as long as the tail of Hal
ley's comet, and they will do it be-
fore or after meals, or in all sorts of
weather. One of these great loco
motives will weigh as much as whole
train of the type in use few years
ago. They are not built for speed
Just for getting there" when the
right of way starts skyWard. A fea-
ture of their construction enables
them to use their strength to keep
the heavy trains behind them from
running away on down grade.

SCORED ONE ON HIS Rival
Brown Had Overlooked Leap Year

Irving Fletcher, the well-known ad-

New York:
"a good advertisement never lies
1t never deceives. For 1t can only

but it states its case as strongly as
possible. and it avails itself Of every
point, however slight. There 1t is
like young Jones.
Young Jones proposed at Lake
wood to a pretty girl, but she said un-
certainly, swinging her slim foot in
and out Of her slashed skirt:
Il like you, Mr. Jones. But, then,
like Mr.. Brown, too. And Mr.. Brown

Handles Are ExtensibIe.

handles can be made various lengths
to suit the purpose for which it is
used. This truck is made of strips of
spring steel, and at the upper ends
the handles are curved pronouncedly.
In general appearance it is the same
as the ordinary truck, but the handles
are made in two slidable sections. For
use on the ground the handles can be
extended their full length, but when
an expressman wants to carry trunk
on his back he can shorten them to a
convenient length and hook the curved
ends over his shoulders. Thus he can
not only support his burden more com
fortably than when he has to hold it
on by his hands, but those important
members are left free to open doors

EYE STRAIN
Relieved by Quitting Coffee.

Many cases of defective vision are
caused by the habitual use of coffee.
1t is said that in Arabia where cof-
fee Is used in large quantities, many
lose their eyesight at about fifty. Tea
contains the same drug, caffeine, as
coffee.
A N. ]. woman writes to the point
concerning eye trouble and coffee.
She says:
my son was for years troubled with
his eyes. He tried several kinds Of
glasses without relief. The optician
said there was a defect in his eyes
which was hard to reach.
"He used to drink coffee, as we all
did, and finally quit it and began to
use Postum. That was three years
ago and he has not had to wear
glasses and has had no trouble with
his eyes since.
