On Being Held.

II was on the bootball field at one OF
the large colleges. A big tackle had been
brought over 10 the varsity" field from
one of the class elevens. II was his first
experience with the big team. He play
ed a fine game until the other side had the
ball. Then he did not 'break through"
as he should. The coach finally stopped
the play and went over TO him.
"What is the trouble ? Why don't
you get through ?" he said.
"The man opposite me is not playing
fair. He is holding me" said the tackle.
"lf he holds you again, III put you of
the field p flashed back the coach.
OF course, as the tackle said, it is against
the rules TO hold an opponent unless he
has the ball; but the coach wanted results,
not excuses. His position was that man
ought somehow TO break away; that no
man must let himself be held. And that
is true; no one ought TO LEI himself be
held. The excuse may be excellent. but
a player who is held is put out OF the
game as effectively as il he were of the
field. He might just as well be oil the
field. The people who accomplish things
worth while in the world are those who
will not let themselves he held. There
have always been things enough TO hold
them. They might have found excellent
excuses, but they have not had to use
any excuses.
Washington had the best sort OF excuse
for not risking his fortune in the Reyo-
luton, yet he led the Revolution. Had
the struggle for independence failed.
Washington would have been stripped OF
every acre, and very likely he would have
lost his life. II there had been no Revo-
luton, Washington would have still been
one of the richest men and largest land
holders in America.
francis Parkman, who wrote the his
tory OF France in America so well that II
will never need rewriting, was an invalid.
He could read only with the greatest dlf-
ficulty, for he was very nearly blind, and
he was often in terrible pain, yet his
weakness did not hold him.
We all OF us have excellent excuses.
Heavy burdens and unfair burdens are
laid on almost every pair OF shoulders.
But they need not matter. If they are on
ourshoulders, we must bear them. There
is no other way. lie who will not let
himself be held is the man who makes
his way 10 victory in the battle OF life.
The others are out of the game.

The Kaiser's Train.

The most luxuiJuS train in Europe, a
veri table palace on wheels, says con-
tributor TO Til Dlts, is that which the
Kaiser uses when he travels between
Berlin and the fighting line.
Six coaches, each weighing over sixty
tons, compose the special train, and Of
these. four are reserved for the Emperor
and his suite, and the other two are used
for kitchens. The second coach in the
train is the one reserved by the Kaiser
for his personal quarters, and il contains
a saloon, bedroom, dressing room, bath
room and sleeping apartments tor his
bodyguard. The saloon is paneled in
the wood of an ancient cedar tree taken
from Mount Lebanon, the gilt OF ex-Sul-
fan Abdul Hamid of Turkey. The floor
is Of black wood taken from the piles OF
a wooden bridge built across the Rhine
by Julius Caesar in the year So b. C., and
the ceiling is decorated with a design
representing the six great rivers OF Ger
many.
The windows OF the saloon are pro-
tected by thick steel bars, and armed
sentries stand at the doors OF the apart
meut night and day. The last coach in
the train is used by an engineer, who has
charge OF the machinery that operates a
complicated system oiemergency brakes.
The Kaiser's two dachshunds, Wardl and
Hexl, have their kennels on the train, and
they generally accompany their master
on his travels.

Disorders Due To Defective Teeth.


Ii is not disputed, says the London
Times, that very large number OF dis
orders OF the body are in origin due to
defective teeth-to dental carries, decay.
or TO that most subtle and less recogni-
zable complaint pyonhea. Chronic joint
affections and certain so-called rheumatic
conditions are largely Of toxic origin, and
the mouth is, of course, focus OF in
lection. II is not uncommon today for
medical practitioners who are treating q
case of rheumatism" 10 send the patient
to the dentist, and in many cases dental
treatment provides cure. An eminent
dental surgeon recently quoted the follow
ing cases which came under his attention
within one month:
A man who had suffered from insomnia
for seventeen years had three teeth re-
moved. Within week he was able TO
enjoy a normal undisturbed sleep.
A sufferer from eye trouble had some
teeth removed-not with the idea of cuff
ing his ocular affection-aud found to his
surprise that with the removal ofhiS teeth
his eye trouble disappeared.
A woman subject to mental disorder
was sent by distinguished alienist to a
dental surgeon in order that, as a pre-
liminary to treatment, the toxic influence
OF bad teeth should be removed.
Side by side with this professional rec
ognition OF the importance OF sound teeth
there is a very marked imrov ement in the
attitude of the public. In some degree
this may be attributed to the institution OF
dental inspection in elementary schools.
Only the other day woman patient OF a
widely known specialist declared her in
tention OF having her children'S teeth
periodically inspected, "for," she said,
'if the elementary school children have
it, why shouldn't mine?"
With professional and public opinion in
this State very real improvement in the
national health could be brought about it
systematic research into the problems OF
dentistry could be organized. Atpresent,
while the subject of decay in teeth is
pretty fully understood, pyonhea--a con-
dition OF pus within the gum-still needs
considerable investigation. Pyorrhea
does not in its earlier stages manifest its
presence by so clear sign as toothache,
and the visible part Of the tooth may be
apparently sound. But meanwhile the
poison OF the disease may be exercising a
deleteriouS effect on the whole body.
Hitherto there has been very little or
ganized research into the problems OF
dentistry in England but a beginning has
recently been made at the Royal Dental
Hospital in Leicester Square. A gift OF
s. 900 by the wife of the late John Hamp-
ton Hale, who was chairman OF the man
aging committee, has enabled the author
tiles to equip research laboratory, and
efforts have been made privately to mem-
bers of the staff TO supplement this.

In A Safe Place.

In some OF the small town drug stores
in the quarry districts Of Indiana you can
buy anything from talcum powder to
dynamite, says the indianapolis News.
Not long ago small quarry operator
drove up to one OF these stores. The
man was in buggy, and his wife was
with him. Calling TO the proprietor OF
the store, he said, "Jim, bring out that
box bought while ago !"
The package was put into the buggy
at the feet OF the man and his wife. The
latter eyed the box suspiciousIy.
whats in that package ?" she asked
with some asperity.
"Now, never mind" said the husband !;
"that's not going to hurt you"
The evasion excited the wife's further
suspicious. "EdSpivens, she exclaim-
ed, that's box Of dynamite !"
"Well, what if it is ?" said Ed, en-
phatically. at won'tdo any damage un-
less il explodes." :"
"Ed Spivens," shrilled the woman, "if
you think I'm going TO ride six miles in a
buggy with fifty pounds of dynamite at
my feet you're bigger fool than thought
you were You have that man take that
stuff right out and put il in the back part
of the buggy, under the seat"

Dust Clouds Armies Make.

An army on the march along dry roads
naturally throws up very heavy dust
clouds. To those who haven't been
trained one dust could looks very much
like another, but TO soldier these dust
clouds tell very clear story.
The dust clouds thrown up by infantry,
for example, hang in a low. thick cloud.
The longer the cloud the more men un-
derneath it, and scout can by this means
make fairly accurate guess OF the NUM-
Der OF men on the march.
Cavalry on the march sends up dust
cloud that is much higher and thinner than
that OF infantry. The most distinctive OF
these dust clouds, however, is that made
by wagons and heavy guns. The dust
rises in little groups OF clouds. quite diff
ferent from the long clouds ofcavalry and
infantry.
So even when unable to see the actual
cause OF the dust, scout can tell many
miles away what kind OF force is passing
along a road.

AS one grows old their organs act
more slowly and less effectually than in
youth, circulation is poor, the blood
gets thin, the appetite poor and diges-
ton weak. Vinol, our delicious cod liver
and iron tonic, is the ideal strengthener
and body builder for old folks because
it creates a good healthy appetite,
strengthens digestion, enriches the
blood, improves circulation and in this
natural manner builds up, strengthens
and invigorates feeble, rundown, nerv-
GUS and aged people, and if it does not do
all we say, we will pay back your
money.

Bring Back The Birds.

Why cannot American farmers, econ
omists and nature lovers make 1915 a
banner year for birds =?
We ought to preserve the birds for
their own sake, for their beauty, their
songs, their vivid life that adds so vastly
TO the attractiveness of field and grove.
But if not for these sentimental reasons
which are the sanest OF all-then let US
foster bird life because il is necessary TO
the prosperity of the land, because it will
yield the biggest kinds of returns in cash.
Birds are the great natural destroyers
of noxious insects.
The stomach of yellow-billed cuckoo
shot at 6 O'Clock in the morning contained
partly digested remains OF 43 tent cater
pillars. Heaven only knows how many
more the bird would have eaten before
night.
The stomachs OF four chickadees con-
tanned l ,02S eggs of the canker worm.
The stomach of single robin exam
ined at the State laboratories OF Illinois
contained ITS larvae which prey on grass
roots.
Brookline, Mass, after fighting vainly
with sprays the insects which were de-
stroying its shade trees, sent out Ma
cedonian cry for the birds, put out food
for them in winter, nests in summer,
punished any one who shot or frightened
them. The birds came back, and the
moths and bugs went out. Last year the
town was free from tree destroyingpestS,
while outside, in the shotgun areas, the
finest old groves were being stripped and
ruined.
II would pay every community to fol-
low the example of Brookline. Bring
back the birds and protect them when
they come.

Bread Not a Necessity.

The reduced daily ration OF flour a
head from 225 grams 10 200 grams is dis
cussed in every German paper. Gen.
orally it is recognized that there is no
immediate prospect Of scarcity, and that
the regulation OF the supply is merely a
matter of foresight and organization in
tended to tide the country over difficult
time to the next harvest.
The Dusseldorfer General Anzeiger
writes in this strain, and says that TO eat
bread is not vital necessity, but in part
a custom. The thing that matters is the
physiological value Of food and its pro-
portion Of calories and proteids. This
was the opinion Of DR.. Eltzbacher's COM
mittee, and the solemn discussion oftheSe
matters as they concern the food Of a
whole population is essentially German.
II is the view of the Dusseldorf paper
that the leisure classes, and especially
townspeople, can-from the physiological
point of view-practically renounee their
eating Of bread. They are not asked 10
sacrifce their health or condition but TO
remember that # is right to replace their
bread ration by something else, even If
it be more costly.
The laborer needs greater supply Of
"calories" than people in easy circum-
stances, and their maintenance in health
and strength is a necessity of the country.
Therefore, national duty and honor are
placed before the eyes Of those who are
inclined to indulge themselves in Injuries
which are rich in these elements for the
nourishing OF tne workers.
