Go your ways, and pour out the walls

2. And the first went, and poured
out his vial upon the earth; and there
fell a noisome and grievous sore
upon the men which had the mark
of the beast, and upon them which
Worshipped his image.

out his vial upon the sea; and it be-
came as the blood of a dead man:
and every living soul died in the sea
4. And the third angel poured out
his vial upon the rivers and fountains
Of waters; and they became blood.
5. And | heard the angel Of the wa

which art, and vast, and shall be, be-
cause thou hast judged thus.

of saints and prophets, and thou hast
given them blocod to drink; for they
are worthy.

altar say, Even SO, Lord God AL

judgments.
8. Aud the fourth angel poured out
his vial upon the sun; and power was
given unto him to scorch men with
fire.
9. And men were scorched with
great heat and blasphemed the name
of God, which hath power over these
plaques: and they repented not to
give him glory.

1t is not the absence of sunshine,
he explains, but it is the removal of
several tors of air PR ssure upon the
SURFACE of the body that makes the
victim blue and discouraged.
1t seems that cloudy weather is
usually accompanied by low Daro-
eter, during which the air pres
sure on the body is decreased. In
normal weather the air pressure on
the human body is 14.7 pounds to the
square inch. On the entire body this
totals up to- several tons. When the
barometer drops from 80 to 20 about
half a tone of pressure is removed
from the body, which disturbs the
inner functions which had adjusted
themselves to the higher air pres
sure.

rNINE BLUFF
!. 0ROGRESS
RospER1TY
HIGH PRICES AND COMAON

Under this heading, the Portland
Oregonian discusses subject that
is of especial interest just now. The
Gregonian was provoked to comment
by an article in the Wichita, Kansas,
Eagle, edited by Victor Murdoch, who
comes valiantly to the defence of
the retail butcher against the COM
plant of high prices" The Oregon
ian says Mr.. Murdoch "shows con-
clusively enough in spite of the high
price of steaks and chops the
butchers are not getting rich;" and
that "for some serious reason the
money they put into their pockets
slips out again and they are no bet
ter off for all their eXtortionate
charges" Continuing, the Oregonian
says:
This is true of other retail dealers
as we'll as butchers. Their prices
are almost uniformly higher than the
public deems reasonable and yet they
are not as rule unduly prosperous.
Failures among the retail dealers OF
all classes are extremely numerous
and success is the rare exception. A
man of long experience among this
class of business men says that sue
cess means rising at o'clock every
morning, hard work for sixteen hours
behind the counter, and an evening
spent over the account books to close
the day. 1t is fact OF common oo-
servation that retail business OF
every kind is overdone. In every
country village there are too many
stores, just as there are in the cities.
There are too many Independent and
competing milk routes, too many
butcher shops, and far too many lit
tie eating houses. These, like rad
ishes planted too thickly in the gar
den, mutually starve one another,
and although necessity drives them
to ask high prices they still fail to
prosper. The demand for their
services is oversupplied.
Each store, shop or milk route en-
tails long list of expenses which
must of course be paid by the
customers. The more often these ex-
penses are duplicated the higher
prices must rise to cover them. A
district with half dozen stores anc
shops to support when one would be
enough usually presents the sad
spectacle of an array OF i'm
porvished dealers and overcharged
customers. In the great stores
where business is concentrated and
expenses scientifically cut down there
is little complaint of prices and
the business commonly pays hand
some profits. A liberal desc of COM
mon sense would cure many of the
troubles of the business world.
The troubles complained of by the
Oregonian seem likely to be remedied
by the plan of the housewives league
to nav cash and take bundles home,
thus helping the retailer to cut ex-
penscs. In return for this aid, the
housewives demand the reduced
prices their assistance permits. The
housewives league plan is one of the
common sense, practical ways OF re-
ducipg the cost OF beef and other
articles without lnJurlng anyone.

HOW MEN BECOME FAMOUS.

George AIDE became famous be-
cause he could write ordinary fables
in extraordinary slang. Billy Sunday
is famous largely because he clothes
TIE ordinary gospel in George Ade

Billy Sunday says that some per-
sons are SO stingy that they would
steal fly from. blind spider. Others
are so stingy that they sing through
their noses in order to save the wear
and tear on their false teeth.
