Maintenance of Solar Heat.

Discussing this well-worn subject in
the Complies rendus, M. A. Veronnet at
tempts to calculate the time the suns
activity could be maintained by
(D chemical action, (2) intra-atomic
energy (radium), and (3) the work of
gravitational contraction. For the first
he gets 1000 years, for the second
only ITO years, while for the third he
finds that gravitational contraction,
according to the well-known theory of
Helmholtz, would account for several
millions of years of solar heat, as de-
manded by the geological record. The
fall of 1ceteorites into the sun could
account, at most, for only the four
hundredth part of the suns heat.

SO well 1 would not and could not,
quit drinking it, but was a miserable
sufferer from heart trouble and nerv.
Gus prostration for four years.
Il was scarcely able to be around,

anything. Was emaciated and had
constant pain around my heart until
thought 1 could not endure 1t.
Frequently l had nervous chills
and the leag. excitement would drive
sleep away, and any little noise would
upset me terribly. I was gradually
getting worse until finally asked my
self what's the use of being sick all
the time and buying medicine SO that
l could indulge myself in coffee?
$50 1 got some Postum to help me
quit. I made it strictly according to
directions and l want to tell you that
change was the greatest step in my
life. 1t was easy to quit coffee be-
cause l now like Postum better than
the coffee.
One by one the old troubles left

their opposites. Therefore, he selects

On the contrary, if BOBBY prizes

that homely women grow fairer and

or detract anything from this theory
save to remark that what is said of
the goose might equally apply to the
