The Common People,

Coronets. miters, military display,
the pomp of war, wide colonies and q
huge empire are, in my view, all tn
fes, light as air and not worth constd-
ering, unless with them you can have
fair share of comfort, contentment
and happiness among the great body
Of the people. Palaces, baronial cas-
ties, great halls, stately mansions, do
not make a nation. The nation In ev-
cry country dwells in the cottage, and
unless the light Of your constitution
can shine there, unless the beauty OF
your legislation and the excellence of
your craftsmanship are impressed there
ON the feelings and condition Of the
people. rely upon It, you have yet TO
learn the duties Of government-John

Fixing the Fairies.

Remnants of the cave men living In
hidden places in the forests, avoiding
the more civilized human beings about
them, but seen occasionally by these,
were probably the first of the fairies,
according to y. L. Peake in a paper
that appears in the report Of the Pre-
historic Society of East Anglia.
Long before the Danes came to the
British isles Ireland was infested by
q people called the Danaans, probably
the earliest of the Celts or possibly
antedating them. The word Danaan,
according to the London Lancet, may
be rendered fairy" They were OF
puny stature, but their heads were as
large as ours, as is proved by the
skulls found in the boys. With their
little pointed caps and their retiring
ways they were only vaguely known
to their neighbors, and when they died
out they were dimly remembered and
soon became q legend.

that the japanese are fond Of giving
fancy names to their fayorites, such as
dancing butterfly and double cher

their names from appearance and
sometimes from habits.

Austria's Historic Crown.

The crown donned by the monarch
of Austria, which was made originally
for Stephen Of Hungary some eight
centuries ago. has been stolen, lost or
pawned-
One one occasion It was pflfered by
q queen who fed across the frozen
Danube with it, and there, being IN
need of ready cash, she pawned It for
$500 ducats. When it was finally
traced and recovered It was placed IN
q fortress in Hungary and guarded
night and day.
At the time of the revolution 1t was
buried in a forest to prevent its being
annexed by the Austrians, and It re-
NAMED under the soil for nearly a hum
dred years. The crown Is adorned
with fifty-three fine sapphires, MY
good sized rubies, one emerald and 8SS
pearls The gems are sunken In mass
Of pure gold, and the crown weighs al
together about fourteen poundS-Ex-

The Snlit ln6nitiNe.

The split infnitive is the term used
to designate the infinitive form OF the
verb that generally begins with the
proposition to-" when separated by a
qualifying adverb or phrase, as IN the
following: ITO briefly Designate Ito
readily understand" ito suddenly and
completely change front" "he knew
not which to most admire" ito sweet
" sing" Ito hCmbly walk" This use
Is held by literary critics and gram
NAUTICAL purists to be highly improper,
but it occurs abundantly in English
literature, from the time OF Snake
speare to the present day. Nearly ev-
cry standard author is guilty OF 1t, and
it is. very general in popular speech
The splitting of the infnitive Is OFTEN
dictated by a sense of rhythm, the
placing of the qualifying adverb after
the verb and before the weak ADJUNCT
or object which follows the verb re-
sulting often in diSharmony of rhythm
or stress.

that many country boys would DO wen
TO stay at home.
"a farmer" he said, "once caught
q fine speckled trout, which he decided
to present to his aunt in the city. Ac-
cordingly, he wrapped it In green
leaves and placed it in q basket In the
body of the wagon. AS he stopped for
refreshment at a roadside tavern some
mischievous boys took a Goldfish from
q nearby grocery stall and substituted
It for the finny beauty.
ARRIVING in the city, he presented
the fish to his aunt What do you
meanY she cried. This isn't trout;
it's q Goldfish
Rather crestfallen, he took 1t back,
but on the road the boys again made
q substitution, and when he showed
the fish to his wife It was a speckled
trout. She listened to his tale with an
amused smile. Yes she said finally

1.-The sea is not a lovable monster.
And monster it is 1t Is beautiful, the
sea, always beautiful in one way or

of the life that is In it and upon it 1t
was cruel last evening in the lurid
low sunset that made it glow, duly,
to the cold, mocking, ragged moonrise
that made it look like death The
waves positively beckoned when they
rose and pitched toward our boat La
boring In the trough. And all the long
night it seemed to me that heard
voices through the planking, talking,
talking, endIessly, monotonously, quer-
ulousIy, and 1 couldn't make out
whether it was the ocean calling from
the outside or the ship herself mutter-
ing gropingly, finding herself. II ths
voices are of the ship they will soon
cease, for she must find herself. But
II they are the voices Of the sea they
must be sad sirens that cry, restless,

EFFICIENC THE WAY OF
HEALTH PREPAREDNESS 9.


This is the season of the prevalence
of certain preventable diseases. Al
most all diseases are amenable to the
scientific law of cause and effect. AL
most all scientific minds accept the
germ theory of disease. 1t has. been
demonstrated beyond the shadow of a
reasonable doubt that diphtheria, ty-
phoid. fever, pneumonia, influenza
called also la grippe, the dreaded tuber-
culosis and other well known diseases
are caused by germs, small organisms
invisible except by the aid of powerful
microscopes. Each of the diseases above
named has often been produced in the
guinea pig, the rabbit an other animals
experimentally.
In persons suffering as result of the
diseases mentioned above, examinations
of the saliva and other excretions have
proved the presence of the specific germ
of each disease. Cultivation of those
germs on suitable culture material and
injection of the germs cultivated pro-
duced the diseases in animals that en-
joyed health before the germs were
introduced into their systems. From
the above brief reference to the germ
theory it would seem that the thing to
do is to avoid the germs, if possible.
The best way to avoid contracting
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1915-12-25

the air bourne diseases such as inf1u-
enza, pneumonia, diphtheria, tubercu-
losis and kindred scourges is to avoid
poorly ventilated places, over crowding
In doors, persons who have a cold, be-
cause "colds" are air bourne and con-
tagious, the sneezer and the splitter.
Dust taken into the breathing organs
often is responsible for the spread of
the most deadly diseases.
1t seems a very difficult matter to
convince many persons that night air
is as good as day air. The way of
health requires US to be prepared by
getting the air fresh night and day.
The only way to do that is to sleep
with the window open at the bottom
to let the live air in and open at the
top to let the devitalized air out.
We cannot enjoy health without a
strict regard for the laws governing
the same. Preparedness is the watch
word in the quest for the acquisition
and the maintenance of health. Ours
is the battle of life and action is the
watchword from the cradle to the
grave.
We must eat right, sleep right, work,
secure proper recreation, keep clean, be
efficient, paying particular attention to
the teeth and be eternally vigilant.
Efficiency and preparedness lead to
the way of health.
