Don't you have trouble getting a
sufficient variety of foodY' she asked.
mo-" said the woman who runs a
boarding house; that's the easiest part
Of it. You see, make up a series of
menus for breakfast dinner, etc., at
the beginning of the season and then
they go on steadily till the end of it.
The cook knows just what to prepare
each day, and am not at all both
cred"
But don't your boarders get tired of
having the same thing each week on
the same dayY
"Ah," said the landlady, that's
where fool 'em! They don't have the
same thing on the same day of the
week. There are ten separate menus.
If we begin. say, with hash on Mon
day, the next time they have hash is
a week from Thursday and the next
time week from the following Sunday.
Nobody can tell what he's going to
have on any given day without work
ing it out with a pencil and paper, and
Is nobody is likely to go to that trou-
pie just for the sake of finding his
meals monotonous. the result is, in
fact. as pleasantly varied as If the
menu for the day was composed every
morning New York Post.

FEW NOW Die OF OLD AGE.
Why This Is So and Why the Patri-
archs Lived So Long.


Scientists who see today how few
people live to be 100 years old find
themselves at a loss to explain how
Methuselah managed to live 300 years,
while Noah reached the respectable age
Of 595 years. Recently, however, Q
discovery has been made which helps
to explain this mystery.
When the causes of short life now
adays are counted up it is found that
most of the deaths are due to disease.
Very few people die from old age. And
the reason why people die from any
one disease is that they have been
weakened by other illnesses which they
have had or which have been handed
down to them by their ancestors. For
example, one widespread social scourge
which weakens the constitution Of
many men and women today was prob
ably unknown In primitive times.
To some of these diseases the hu-
man race has become so accustomed
that it is immune. Measles win kill of
a whole Indian tribe, but among the
white races it is only an annoying
childhood malady. But the variations
of disease increase far more rapidly
than the immunity.
Noah and the patriarchs didn't have
nearly as many different kinds Of dis
eases to face because they hadn't had
enough ancestors to hand them down
a variety. Consequently their consti-
tutions were not constantly being
weakened as are ours today. For ex-
ample, there is no reference in very
ancient literatures to a cold In the
head. The Greeks and Romans seem
to have been the first peoples to suf-
fer from it
The real reason why the patr1archs
lived longer than we do now was be-
cause in those days the fount Of hu-
mainly was fresher. While immunity
to certain diseases has been handed
down to us by our parents, we have
also received the weakened vitality
which was theirs as result Of their
fight against disease. Sooner or later
the race will become immune to tuber-
culosis, but with that immunity VIII
come the diminished power as a result
of mankind's long fight against the
white plague.-Wa Washington Post.

Yeast In Bread.

In the dough from which bread Is
made there is lot of sugar, which
contains carbon. hydrogen and oxygen.
1t is necessary to ferment this sugar
to make bread edible. and yeast is used
because it has the power to do this. II
is made from a plant having this
quality. Fermenting sugar is equiva!,
lent to burning it. and there are two
results. One is the formation of car
bonic acid gas. A great deal of this
gas is caught in the dough in the form
Of large or small bubbles. and some of
it escapes into the air. The part that's
cannot escape causes the dough to rise
and makes the bread light. The holes
In bread are the little pockets which
held the carbonic acid gas. The effect
Of the bubbles is to lift the body Of
dough so that the heat can penetra
readily and bake it properly. Boston

A, consideration of the Referendum
amendment to be submitted to the voters
of Maryland this coming Fall, justi6es a
review of the principles connected with
it. Our form of government and the
theory on which it is founded, differ ma
terially from those of practically all prior
governments.
Back of our whole system of govern.
ment rests sound principle. A king or
an aristocracy can impose upon the peo-
pie measures which are in their interest,
and the people have no voice or veto. A
Legislature may be persuaded by inter-
ested parties to pass laws which are not
beneficial TO the great mass of the people,
but peculiarly beneficial to few. The
majority of the people have no interest
superior to that of the whole. Lawyers,
Doctors or Blacksmiths, or any other
special class of the community may by
organization or threats. or secret appeals
to personal interest, obtain special legis-
lation in their respective interests, but no
class is sufficiently strong in our State to
impose its selfish interests upon the whole
community, when the whole community
has right to vote upon the proposition.
1t Is always easier to cajole or intimidate
or befool one hundred aud thirty law
makers than it is to control a majority of
1000 voters of the State of Maryland.
The Referendum once adopted in
Maryland will have great educational
force. Every measure important enough
to come before the people will be the sub
ject of discussion. This has been the
case particularly in such great Referer-
dun States as Oregon, California and
Oklahoma. The people through this
debate will learn TO know better their
own interests.

Senator Blair Lee has issued a statement
denying there has been any ''dear' be-
tween himself and Mayor Preston. of
Baltimore, whereby he has gained the
support of the latter in his Nee's) CAM
paign for the Democratic nomination for
Governor.
T5is report of ''deal' is an attempt
of the Smith Harrington forces TO win
supporters from Lee by stirring up strife
between the counties and the city of Bal
timore, and is pure political buncombe. It
shows the old line organization, headed
by Smith. to be in bad fright over the
way things are shaping up for the ap
preaching primary election.
Failing to get Frank A: Furst to cutter
the race, in the hope of holding the city
vote. the Smith organization is charged
with raising the "City VS.. Counties" cry
in order to check-mate Mayor Preston's
voluntary declaration for Lee.
This is about the cheapest political
trick the reactionary organization leaders
have sprung for some time, and shows
they are ''some agitated" over the en-
thusiasm with which the progressives are
getting behind Lee in his primary
campaign.

THE BATTLE Of
THE TIRES

agricultural and Commercial Press servicel
1t Is interesting to watch the forces
Of civilization battling for supremacy.
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire promises to
be the liveliest contest Of the TWEEN
tieth Century.
The struggle is silent one and
there are no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions of the con-
flict but the results are more far
reaching to present and future gen.
erations than the war of Europe.
The rubber tire has been maneuver-
ing for point of attack for several
years and has captured a few unim-
portant positions in traffic, but 1t has
now pitched a decisive battle with
its iron competitor by hurting a mil
lion "jitneys" at the street railways
and the battle is raging from ocean
to ocean. Upon the result Of the
struggle depends the future of the
rubber tire. If it is compelled to re-
treat, its doom is sealed, but if it wins
the battle it will revolutionize the
transportation methods of this nation.
If the rubber tire conquers the
street traffic it's next struggle is with
the railroads of the country, and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face
of this earth is on, for iron is the I'm.
disputed master in transportation, and
is fortified behind billions Of dollars,
and millions of men.
Stephenson applied the steel tire
to an iron rail in 1914, but it was 1859
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point, which bound
the country together with bands of
steel. 1t took the iron tire fifty-five
years to creep from ocean to ocean.
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind of the inventive
genius sped across the continent like
an arrow shot from the bow of Ulys-
ses. The roadbed was already pre-
pared and therein lies the power of
the rubber tire over that of iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
But iron is a stubborn metal and
it has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the NORWOOD
Of defeat, and when rubber hurls its
full force against this monarch of
the Mineral Kingdom, it may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recov.
cry
The rubber tire first made its ap-
pearance on the bicycle, but it proved
a frivolous servant and was dismissed
for incompetency. It has always been
too much inclined to revel in luxury
to be taken seriously as utility ma.
chine and it's reputation is not one to
inspire confidence in heavy traffic
performance.
But to those who care to watt into
dreamland, it is enchanting to note
that there will be marvellous differ.
ence between a rubber and an iron
age. The rubber tire will scatter the
cities throughout the valleys for with
transportation at every mans door,
why city? It will traverse the con.
tinent with a net work of Macadam
highways as beautiful as the boule.
ward built by Napoleon. It will par.
alyze the law making bodies of this
nation for how could the legislatures
run without the railroads to operate
on?

Despite Popular Belief There Is No
Connection Between Them.

Despite Popular Belief There Is No
Connection Between Them.
That the planets and the moon have
an effect upon the weather on the
earth is common belief. This belief
is baseless. for all changes Of weather
depend upon differences In tempera
ture.
of water in the atmosphere. This wa
ter can accumulate only by being evap
grated from the surface of the earth
And evaporation requires heat. Winds
also are due to heat-greater warmth
in one place than In another causing
the air to rush toward where the warm
air is rising.
If the moon and the planets could
furnish heat they might affect the
weather. But the heat they furnish is
so enthusiastically small that it is not
enough to change the temperature an
appreciable fraction Of degree. The
amount of heat they send us has actu.
ally been measured, but it needed the
most delicately sensitive Of instru
ments to perceive 1t.
Another proof that neither the plan.
cts nor the moon have any effect upon
our weather is that careful compari.
sons of the weather with the positions
of the planets and the moon show that
there is no relation between them. II
there were we should have the same
weather when the planets were in tho
same position. which is not the case

They Are Named by Colors and Cover
a Wide Range of Hues.
British government publications are
called "blue books" because they are
usually bound in blue paper covers and
because blue is the officially recognized
color in parliament and law. In few
departments, however, "blue" books
are printed in yellow covers to distin-
guish the department. Diplomatic cor
respondence with foreign countries and
short acts of parliament are often left
unbound, or white" because there Is
no strict rule for binding any docu-
ments less than an inch in thickness.
In addition to the "blue book" there
is the "red book" This contains list
Of persons who hold appointments.
The only other color used by England
Is black. A black book contains an ex-
posture of some abuse, the name ''black
book" originating from the famous
"black book" compiled in the reign Of
Henry VIII. to expose the abuses in
monasteries.
In France the chief color for govern
ment publication is yellow. Although
the latest French government report
has been called "black book" In real
ity it is published in yellow covers. 1t
forms, in fact, one Of long set of
yellow books" which France has been
issuing annually ever since the year
1861 upon the affairs of the country for
the use of politicians and historians.
The chief color of Russian govern
ment publications is orange. Belgium
uses gray, Italy green, the United
States blue and red, Spain and Austria
