Will Keep Fish
From Flopping Out

The park commission is having a
new cement coping installed around
the pond in the city park. The work
is being done under the supervision
of S. Permission. When completed
the coping will allow of the raising
of the water level by about four
inches and will prevent the pond
from overflowing. The fish which
we're planted in the pond some time
ago are doing we'll. At times grass
and sticks have accumulated against
the screen at the outlet to the little
lake and have caused it to overflow.
Some of the fish overflowed along
with the water and the new work will
remove any liability of a recurrence
of such a catastrophe.

The Human Body
Uses Up Many Times More
Energy Than Tissue

To be exact, normal person uses
up five and one-half times as much
energy each day as he does tissue.
That waste must be supplied in the
same ratio, if perfect health is to be
maintained.
This can be done in but one way
by eating the right food. How many
people do you see going around with
out energy or ambition-the result of
improper eating.
In order to preserve health and
stimulate energy, your food must con-
tain protein, fat and carbohydrates.
Protein builds brain, bone and flesh.
Fat and carbohydrates supply heat
and energy.
Oatmeal, when properly prepared,
leads all foods in its combined rich
ness of protein, fat and carbo-hy-
drates, consequently it is a perfectly
balanced" food.
But all Oatmeal is not alike. H-0
is the one PERFECT OATMEAL
the only Oatmeal that is cooked be-
fore 1t leaves the mill-the only
steam-coOked Oatmeal on the market.
YOU cook H-O Oatmeal only 20
minutes in the morning 1t pip
ing hot, with sugar and cream.
Comes nearest to supplying the Give
and one-half to one" ratio referred
to above. For sale by good grocers
everywhere.

Runaway Girls
Here in Morning

Two fourteen-year-old girls from
Medford who ran away from home
Sunday evening are being sought IN
the districts south of Ashland this
afternoon by ]. Il. Thorndyke OF
Medford. The girls received tele-
phone calls from Tyler Hooper and
Harry Fulmer from Talent yesterday
and left home last night. They were
in Ashland this morning, and after
purchasing about dollars worth OF
groceries at the Ashland Trading
Company rode out to near the nor
NAL in an auto, telling the driver
that they we're going to Kingsbury
Springs. Should it be found that the
young men were mixed up in the es-
capade, it will go rather hard with
them.

Low Water and No
Street Lights

Owing to low water in Ashland
creek II was found that the city cleo
trio light plant could not carry the
load OF the street lights and Ashland
streets were in darkness last night.
According to old-timers, this is the
most extended dry season of the past
twenty years. 1t will probably be
necessary to keep the lights off part
of the night at least until rain comes.
The low water has slightly affected
the water pressure in some parts of
the city, but no trouble is looked for
in this department.

u. s., Not u. 6, A.

Do you know what is the proper
Authorization of the United States? 1t
is q. s. It is not U. S. A. There is
widespread and apparently utter ig-
norance of this fact. The initials U. S.
A. are the officially accepted abbrevia-
ton for United States army and do not
under any possible conditions ever
mean United States Of America. At
this time, when so many manufacture
ers in this country are branding their
goods as made in the United States.
this is important. The brand of U. S.
A. upon anything means that it was
manufactured for the United States
army. made In U. 81 is the brand
which should be put upon all goods
manufactured in this country.-Albany

HOW OLD ARE YOU?

Do You Know Your Age and the Year
and Day of Your Birth?
How old are you? When were you
born? See if you really know. See if
your children know how old they are.
Do not laugh at these simple questions
until you try the test.
According to a recent issue of the
United States public health service re-
ports. it is common occurrence to find
school children, even high school pu-
pills in the junior and senior years,
who cannot tell how old they are, or
who. if they know their age, cannot
tell accurately in what year they were
born.
You will need this information when
you apply for marriage license, or in
registering for voting. or in seeking
government position, or in case you
claim that you are heir to fortune
that is going to some other person.
You may have to go under oath as to
your age when you pay your custom
duties upon return from your next
European trip. So you should practice.
In some Of our states there is no
birth registration, so you may not be
able to prove from the records that
you ever were born. This might be
embarrassing to you if you want to
marry in Europe.
Perhaps the easiest way to remember
your age is to form some Jingle or
rhine on your birth year. For in
stance, I'm 1897 little Johnnie came
from heaven" or "In 1882 little Susie
began to boo" Never mind what the
rime is, just so you remember it. and
If, after reaching the age Of forty, you
want to prove that you are only twen-
ty-three years old, just change the
rime and perhaps people will believe
you when you repeat the Jingle to
prove your youth.

WONDERFUL VACUUM.
Science Can Produce II Almost to the
Point Of Perfection.

ocIenS0 Van Froouce u Almost 20 tn0
Point Of Perfection.
Scientists have succeeded in getting
what is practically u perfect vacuum
lave succeeded in taking all the air
out OF space except the one hundred
and fifty millionth Of 1t. AS long as
they had to deal with the old time so
called suction pump very low vacuums
were impossible on account Of leakage.
The mercury pump was relied on to
give the better vacuums, but that took
a long time indeed. Then the Gaede
pump and before that the Geryck
pump improved matters somewhat.
The device now used is as ingenious
as it is swift and reliable. Suppose
that we have sealed tube containing
air. If we place this in liquid hydro
gen the air in Il few minutes becomes
a solid in the bottom Of the tube. If
all the air were frozen we should have
a perfect vacuum left, but air con-
tains what the chemist calls traces"
of several inert and hard to freeze
gases. two of which are helium and
neon. The tiny amount Of these rare
gases found in the air is. of course.
left in the space. and so perfect va
cuum does not appear. But helium
has been iquefied also. AS liquefed
helium is the coolest thing obtainable,
it will not freeze any more of itself.
To make the vacuum more complete.
however, it was decided to put some
charcoal in the tube. 1t had long been
known that hot charcoal had the pow
er to absorb or "occlude" gases, but
little was known about its power when
as cold as liquid air. A great surprise
was in store for the first man to try it,
however, for it was found that it alb
sorbed a great deal more when very
cold than when warm, in some cases
seven or eight times as much. So the
charcoal placed in the space absorbed
good part Of the gases remaining,
and the wonderful vacuum Of .O0OOO58
Of a millimeter, the normal pressure of
the air being 76O millimeters, was OBJ
tained.-Chicago Herald.

GIRLS LOSE TO ST. JAMES, 1913.

The New Ulm High School girls
met with defeat at the hands of St.
James High School girls basket ball
team, Friday night in the Gym by a
score of 80 to 8. The game of the
visitors was characterized by much
more team work than was shown by
the New Ulm team. The st. James
team claims the state High School
championship for several years and in
view of this fact the New Ulm girls were
completely outclassed. They put up
good fight, however, and the spirit
of the school was back of them.
The first half ended with the score
Is to 0 in favor of the visitors; in the
second half Genevieve Vedder succeeded
in making eight points, six of them on
free throws. A return game has been
arranged with the St. James team
for the near future.

Presidential Cheeses.

The first monster cheese presented to
a president Of which we can find rec
ord is that offered with great publicity
to Jefferson in 1902. The cheese was
made-one might almost say built-in
Cheshire, Mass. in press giving It
the great dimensions of four feet diam
eter and eighteen inches high. After
being successfully pressed it was
drawn from Cheshire to Washington
in six horse dray amid popular re-
joicing. With regard for the dignity of
his Office, the president insisted on
footing the bill to the tune of $500.
There is record of an even greater
cheese presented to President Jackson,
and President Van Buren, received
great cheese every year of his incum-
bncy. With him the custom seems to
have ended.-New York Sun.

A LEFT HANDED ARTIST.
Leonardo da vinei Even Wrote From
Right to Left.

Right to Left.
A right handed man in making q
drawing puts his shading from right
to left diagonally downward. A left
handed man puts his shading from
left to right. This is especially no
ticeable in the drawings of Leonardo
da Vinci, who was left handed. In
the same way a right handed man,
being asked to draw spiral, naturally
makes what is called "left handed"
spiraEthat is, one that curves clock
wise, while the left handed man draws
the fright handed" spiral. or that
which curves counter clock-wise.
In his book, "The Curves Of Life"
Theodore Andrea Cook says that a
Sherlock Holmes could tell from the
curves Of carpenters shavings
whether he was right or left handed,
as right handed carpenter invariably
drives his plane a little to the left,
producing right handed screws, while
the left handed carpenter pushes his
plane little to the right and produces
left handed screws.
Screws and cOrkscrews are right
hand screws unless made for some
special purpose. Left hand screws
can be bought from any large hard
ware dealer. Coffin screws for some
unexplained reason are always left
hand screws. Man is naturally right
handed, and it has been suggested
that this may be owing to the position
Of his heart on the left side. So all
tools and weapons have been adapted
the adze. plane, scythe, gimlet, auger,
scissors, shutters, shears, etc.
The strongly left handed man will
continue to use such tools with his
left hand, even though with incon-
venience, but he in whom the left
handedness Is not strong bias be-
comes ambidextrous through the use
Of the right handed contrivances and
appliances of everyday life.
Mr.. Cook mentions many customs
that have arisen through the normal
right handedness of man. Among
these is the rule Of driving to the left,
which still obtains in England, Portu-
gal, Sweden and parts of Austria, It
ally and Switzerland. This is a sur
vival of riding days, when men held
the reins in their left hands in order
to leave their right free to use their
swords.
The most notable example of left
handed artist is Leonardo da Vinci. He
also wrote with his left hand and
wrote from right to left. So that any
one who wants to read his manuscripts
or the annotations on his drawings
must use mirror. This, according to
Mr.. Cook, is the natural method of the
left handed man.

First sumptuary Laws.

Laws regulating eating. drinking
and dressing are almost as old as his
tory itself. Nothing like exactness
can be reached in the matter. but it is
safe to say that it was in Egypt as far
back as 5000 B. c. that the first prac-
teal sumptuary statutes were passed
Among the Romans they first appear
ed in the Ncelebrated twelve tables"
In modern times Charlemagne was the
pioneer in sumptuary legislation.
