COULDN'T SATISFY THEM ALL
First Group Calls the Visitor "Fresh''
and the Second Pronounces Him
"Stuck Up"

First comes the introduction, in
which 1t is necessary to consider three
things-the way sounds carry In a
summer evening in a village; the fact
that ones own name, spoken by an
other, can be distinguished, though
the rest of the conversation is unin-
telligible; and, thirdly, the difficulty
in remembering just whom you've
been introduced to in q strange town.
Then comes the incident. leading up
to the moral, which is: What's the
Use?
Walking down the street the other
evening we met three young women.
Their faces were familiar, and we
said Good evening" They stared,
but did not answer, and we moved
rapidly on, blushing. And we heard
one say in a loud whisper: well,
who's your friend?"
mo friend Of mine," asserted an
other. Ills names Robinson, and he's
a fresh Teller from the city that thinks
he can speak to everybody whether
he's met 'em or not"
Fate SO ordered it that ere our ears
had ceased to tingle we met three
other young women, strolling in the
same direction as the former three.
And, mindful of our regrettable break,
we scanned them closely and decided
that we did not know them. Therefore
we passed them as If they had been
trees. And again we heard one in.
Quire, Who's that?"
"His names Robinson" was the an
swer. He's stuek-up Teller from
the city that goes along with his
nose in the air and don't speak to
nobody"
o, dear: o, dear! We are neither
of those things they said, but what
shall we do?-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

BOYS BUILT THE COTTAGE
Demonstrated How Easily Abode for
tuberculosis Patient Might
Be Constructed.

The tuberculosis society of certain
locality needed demonstration cot
tage for the crusade against the white
plague and they placed their need be-
fore the boys OF the public school
shops. One class of eighth-grade boys
volunteered, and two days after the
Job was started the complete cottage
was delivered to the society, writes
N. F. Fultz in Popular Mechanics.
The cottage is constructed in sec
tons and can be assembled or disman-
tied In thirty minutes. The sections
are not so heavy but that they can be
handled with ease by two men. There
are seven sections-namely, the floor,
two sides, two ends and two roof sec.
lions.
A house built in this manner was
placed on the courthouse lawn as q
permanent fixture. Among other
things brought out in the construction
was the fact that cottage may be
built by boy at cost less than $50.
Thus stricken parent, brother or sis
ter may be provided by the hands OF
a young mechanic with the first means
that may bring him or her back to
health.

SINGING AS HEALTH BUILDER
Physical Benefits That Are Derived
From Deep Breathing Are Many
and Varied.

Some interesting data gathered
abroad show that the practice of sing
ing, merely as a physical exercise, Is
one of the most healthful In which q
person Of any age can employ himself.
There were examined In st. Peters
burg 222 singers from nine to fifty
three years of age, with reference to
the pneumatometric and spirometric
conditions Of the singers, and it was
shown that the circumference of the
chest is greater, relatively and abso-
lutely. among singers than among
those who do not sing, and that It in
creases with the age and growth Of
the singer, London Tit-Bits states.
The fact is corroborated by the expe-
rience Of skillful trainers Of the voice
who combine with tone building q
physical training based upon anatomi-
cal and hygienic science.
1t is asserted by certain OF these
authorities that many of the Ills which
aff1ict humankind arose from faulty
breathing, by which the lungs are but
partially inflated, ard, as conse-
quence, the poisons which should be
thrown off by the breath are absorbed
into the system, causing all manner
Of mysterious diseases.
One cannot sing without breathing
deeply. The muscles Of the chest and
abdomen. must have full play, the
body must be erect and every facility
must be given for the ingress OF the
air to the lungs. A fine voice is Of
little consequence II the singer cannot
breathe freely and to the very bottom
of the lungs.
Everybody knows the comfortable
and stimulating effect OF long-drawn
breath after sitting in cramped posi-
tion. This stimulating effect, repro
duced by frequent practice In singing,
strengthens the lungs. enlarges the
chest and by admitting larger acces-
sions of oxygen to the lungs, purifies
them and sends it's healing and
strengthening streams to every part
of the body.

Latest on Scientific Eating.

M. j. Bergonie discusses in the
Complies Rendus the best arrangement
of the human dietary on the basis OF
the observation that the period OF
maximum availability Of the energy
in the meals occurs about three hours
after eating.
He suggests that a diet furnishing
one part fat, one part protein and four
to five parts Of carbohydrates should
be taken in three meals, viz, heavy
meal, supplying from 1.400 to 1900
calories. about 7:30 a. m; a light
meal. supplying 300 to 400 calories, at
4:30 p. m, and dinner, supplying zoo
to 500 calories, at p. N.
One wonders whether the average
man, and especially the average
Frenchmap, accustomed to a very
light petit dejeuner, could adjust his
appetite to so heavy meal In the
early morning.

And then came a great dispute over

list of vessels built and registered in
Canada during 1914, gives total new
tonnage Of 1896, the largest figure
in IA years. OF this amount, 23,167
tons was credited to Ontario, which
has been advancing as a ship-owning
and ship-building province since the
development of trade on the great
lakes began to call for a larger class
of steamers than had been employed
previously. Taking $50 a ton as the

Why You Sneeze.

the pollen of certain plants will affect
others, and most people are likely to
sneeze in the presence of dust. Such
sneezing is due to superficial irritation.
The sneeze caused by the effect of
cold is different. 1t is an attempt Of
nature to cur you. She makes you
sneeze for the same reason that she
makes you shiver-to generate heat for
warming the blood and preventing you
from taking 0 cold-to help relieve
the cold you have.
The sneezing from cold is not an ACT
of the nose alone, this being merely the
part of the body where it explodes. 1t
is an act Of the entire body during
which every muscle gives a jump. The
body is affected by a spasmodic effort
to warm the entire system and throw
off the cold.-Boston Herald.

Some years before the great French

in unearthing the fact that the paper
