If the veins and channels, there
fore, were rigid pipes instead of the
soft, rubber like tissues which they
are, the flow of serum from the heart
beat would be a series of spurts and
starts. Blood pressure would not be
constant but would rise and fall like
a pendulum. The rise of pressure
the pulse, would occur at the same
moment in every nook and Granny OF
the anatomy.
Happily the walls of the pathways

makes the pulse like the ocean bill
lows in an estuary die out in the
tiny epillaries. 1t also accounts for
the different moments the pulse ar
rives at the different parts.
In fine, the pulse waves-the wave
of blood pressure-require certain in
tervals to reach various tissues. In
health, when the heart 'squeezes more
blood into the arteries, space is de-
manded. Either the whole mass OF
human blood goes forward with an
equal quantity arriving at the other
end of the heart-the auricle-or the
elastic arteries expand like rubber

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Great Financier of Civil War Days

Many persons confess themselves to
be bewildered by the reports that tell
of the colossal financing which the
British statesmen are now perform
ing, saying that only mind capable
of grasping the meaning that Is in the
figures which tell of the distances of
the celestial objects in the starry
heavens can get any save a remote
comprehension of the magnitude of
the financing which is now in
progress.
| have heard many comments of
this kind, and they remind me of a
conversation which 1 had with the
late George S. Coe, a banker of New
York, who was in intimate financial
relations with the government at
Washington at the time of the Civil
War
MY relations with Hugh McCul-
loch, who was secretary of the treas
ury in the administration Of Presi-
dent Johnson and who was the first
comptroller of the currency, were
very intimate and at times when we
had leisure Mr.. McCulloch would tell
me of strange or exciting incidents
associated with the administration of
the Treasury Department at Wash
ington," said Mr.. Coe.
IT remember that he said that sofne
time in the future the historians
would identify jay Cooke as the
greatest single financial leader the
world has ever known. No man, so
far as Mr.. McCulloch had been able
to learn, either In this country or
any other, unless he was a govern
ment officer, has ever secured such
successful financial results as Cooke
was able to obtain at the time OF the
Civil War. Mr. McCulloch told me
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1915-08-24

that he was persuaded that not an
other banker in the United States
would have dared even to contem-
plate a plan of floating upon his own
responsibility $500,0OO,00o in the form
of government loan.
Yet Cooke, fearleSsly and without
hesitation, assumed that responsible
ity and f1oated the loan. He, in like
manner, f1oated others, and -tlae ag-
gregate of the loans which he hoated
was two billion dollars.
MIR. McCulloch told me that per-
haps the most remarkable of Jay
Cookies achievements was one which
Immediately followed the close of the
Civil War. The government needed
about $3.50. 900. and needed it speed
ily for the army was to be mustered
out of service and the soldiers were
to be paid, and some of the pressing
expenses entailed by the navy had
to be met. The department estimated
that as much as $550,000,000 would be
needed and rather doubtfully called
upon Mr.. Cooke to ask him whether
he thought he could float new gov
ernment issue aggregating $550.600, 900
or thereabouts and could do it so
speedily that the government would be
in possession of the funds with which
to pay off its soldiers and sailors.
Mr.. Cooke did not hesitate an in
slant. He told the Secretary of the
Treasury that he was convinced that
he could float loan of that size with
in a short time. The department took
him at his word and was thereby able
to obtain the money with which the
soldiers were paid the last payment
being made in the fall of 1865"

Some authors who have written

as they used. | know one who not
only reWrites his manuscript a great
many times before it is published,
but who writes enough for three OF
four volumes In order that he can
have a large variety for selection.
He says man must write material
for a good many books to get enough
for one. His advice to young au-
thors is: Never be afraid of writing
too much, because it is comparatively
easy to cut down, and although It
may cause pain to write and throw
away what is considered good ma
terial. yet the public. having never
seen it, will not miss 1t, and what
is retained will amply pay for what

The great work of life is TO raise
the value of whatever passes through
our hands. The effect of always do
ing ones best even in the smallest
thingS greatly raises the standard
of the whole life. The constant
effort to measure up to something
higher is a perpetual tonic to tllH
mind and gives an upllft to the o.
dinary routine of every day.
The entire man or woman grows

to do ones level best to stamp quality
on everything one does, to leave the
trademark of excellence on every
thing one touches.
There Is divine force in longing
and working for betterment. In
hungering for excellence. No matter
how apparently discouraging the out
look, there is always hope for the
life that looks up thinks up,
works UP.

NO EXCUSE FOR DEARER ANTHRACITE.

AS for the export movement, it is undeniable that
there is great movement of coal under way from At
ports to Europe coal is getting scarce
in France because the Germans hold large part of
the French coaproducing territory, and the British
embargo prevents export of Englands coal even to
her allies But this has little bearing the anthra-

for which she is drawing upon America is btu

food in the mouth, chewing and
churning 1t until 1t swallows itself"

A-For invalids, weak and sickly
people and those above sixty this is
most helpful.

a siege of boils on the back of my
neck; two years ago they returned
and about every three or four months
I have one or two on my neck and
face. What would you advise?
A-Have the worst ones opened.
Massage white precipitate ointment
into all of them. Take teaspoonful
of diluted sulphurous-not sulphuric-
acid in a tumbler of water every four
hours after meals on a full stomach.
Make UP a teapsoonful of powdered
sulphur to cup of molasses and take
a teaspoonful of this at night. Also
take vaccines for boils.
R. SOL am fifteen years of age
and for several years past I have
been bothered with a little red spot
which itches terribly. What do you
recommend?
A-Apply the following to the af-
fected spot each night: Calamite, 21z
drains; zinc oxide, 2 drains; glycerin,
2 drams; phenol, " dram; lime water
and rose water enough to make three
ounces. Each portion of your diet
should be tested thoroughly and the
disturbing food eliminated. These
itchy spots are more than likely due
to your over susceptibility to some
