According to Lawrence WELLER, di
rector Of the New York committee on
the prevention of tuberculosis. the race
of supermen, healthy, vigorous and of
aspiring mental powers. is actually on
the way
"It is a question of education, of ex-
pelIing ignorant and vicious customs, Of
teaching wholesome living" said Mr..
WELLER. 1.-THE work done among in
fants especially has been encouraging,
and a firfer, stronger stock is on the
way with each new generation. The
immense progress which has been made

when the race will be free of the white

An Aristocratic Grain.

Could plants lay claim to aristocratic
position, as representing an old family,
rice might safely claim TO be OF the
most ancient pedigree. 1t is the earliest
cereal known Originally a native OF
India, it has crossed the ocean and
made home for itself where heat and
moist soil could be found. 1t grows In
all warm portions of the globe and fur
pishes the principal food of nearly one

Machine Guns.

Machine guns are really rifles with
mechanical feed, which supplies them
rapidly with cartridges. In all modern
patterns they are automatic In action.
The gas produced by the explosion or
shock of the recoil opens the breech,
elects the spent cartridge, loads the
rife, closes the breech and fires the
charge. These complicated operations
are carried out with extraordinary
speed To give an example: The Max
Inn can fire at least $50 rounds a min
ute, or more than peven shots per sec
ond, and if in exceptionally good order
and cleveny operated can discharge
600 rounds q minute.-London Tit-Bits.

HAVE TOP SASH SCREENED
May Be Considered Small Matter, But
10 Always Advlsable-Adviee for
Prospective Builder.

Don't forget that you may at some.
time want to open the top sash Of the
window, and that flies and mosquitoes
are not particular as to through which
sash they enter; therefore have the
screen run from top to bottom Of the
window; to do this, side springs will
be necessary In the screen frames, but
they viii cost little more than screen
which can be used only from the bot
tom sash and which Is little better
than no screen at all.
Don't forget that there will never be
q better time to build than the pres
ent; materials of all kinds are cheap
er than they have been for several
years, and as soon as the European
war is over there Is sure to be sharp
advance in prices.
Dent say you can't build now be-
cause you have not enough money; If
you have, a little, the cooperative
banks and building associations will
loan you the balance needed upon
terms under which you can pay for the
house in monthly installments which
would be no more than you would or
dinarily be paying for rent.-Ex.

PROPER CARE OF THE LAWN
Grass Plat Must Never Be Neglected
1t Home Is to Have a Proper
Appearance.

One of the most important duties
ON the home place during the summer
Is the care of the lawn. There Is
nothing about a place that makes 30
much for general attractiveness as q
well cared for lawn.
Many people make the mistake Of
keeping the lawn cut too close. In
that case the grass roots are exposed
tc hot sun and drying winds during
the summer. Cut the lawn frequently,
but do not set the machine too close.
To keep the lawn looking clean at all
times have a grass-catcher attachment
or the mower. A careful watch for
weeds on the lawn should be kept.
Cut them out we'll below the surface
with an old knife as soon as they are
large enough to be seen.
A roller on the lawn is advisable,
but it should be used with care.
Lawns that have been rolled for long
time are likely to become over-rolled;
there is surface cohesion or close
packing of the top soil, which prevents
the admission of air and healthy root
development. The remedy is the use
of the spiked tamper. A homemade
one may be made by taking piece of
two-inch plank, some 12x12-inch tim
ber and inserting four-inch spikes an
inch and half or two inches apart.
Bore holes a little smaller than the
spikes before driving them in, to pre-.
vent splitting the wood. Perforate
the whole surface thoroughly with
this, give a top dressing, lightly rake
1t In and water the whole thoroughly
late in the afternoon.

The City Beautiful.

A one-time mayor of New. York,
George B. Mcclellan, said: 'In a
self-governing community. the III
innate object of the government is the
happiness of the governed. Something
more is needed to make the happy
sity than health and. 9ealth and wis
dom. The city healthy, the city
wealthy, and the city wise, may excite
satisfaction, complaisance and pride,
ont it is the city beautiful that COM
pels and retains the love Of people"
When last the tree men of the South
met at Riverside, in the music room
Of the famous Glenwood Mission inn.
an Illuminated sign stretched across
the stage, which read: Make your
city beautiful and you win learn to
love it."

OLDEST BALL PLAYER
IS RHODY WALLACE
His Career Dates From Town Lot
Days in Pittsburgh; Two
Other Veterans
Special to The TsIsgrobh

Philadelphia. Jan. 2.-It has been
definitely settled that Rhody Wallace
of the st. Louis Browns, is the Oldest
player in point of service at present
on the ball field. The past season
was his twenty-second consecutive one
on the diamond. two years longer than
Lajoie and a season more than wag-
ner.
Honus Wagner the Pirate short
stop, was born February "a, 1874.
while Wallace was born November
4 the same year, and that sterling
player, Larry Lajoie, was born Sep
tember S. 1875, so there you have the
correct ages of the three oldest play-
ers in point of consecutive playing
before the public.
Both Wallace and Wagner are
pittsburgh boys, as both were born
in that city, but Rhody began his
career just two years ahead of his
old pal. Wallace began pitching ball
for the Etna Stars OF Pittsburgh when
he was kid of fifteen and he soon
developed into the best amateur
pitcher in that city. where they have
