Stores Giving Haltom Bros. Coupons
Sell for Less Money

Yes, that is the real truth about Haltom Bros.
Coupons! And the reason is this: The more busl'
ness you do in any line of merchandising, the less
profit you have to make on each particular sale.
Instead of making a big profit on a few small
sales. the merchants giving Haltom Bros. Coupons
makes a little profit on many sales.
And Haltom Bros. Coupons make business
srow-thousands of people are trading only with
stores giving HaItom Bros. Coupons and thus the
merchant gets more trade and sells for less.
Like good judicious newspaper advertising,
Haltom Bros. Coupons bring the trade.
They help the live merchants, and they help

EXPLAINED BY THE STUDENT
Absence of Sunday Really Was Not So
Much of a Mystery as It Seemed
to Soldiers.

Some years ago a troopshiD was
making it's way across the Pacific,
bound for the Philippines, carrying a
squadron of the Ninth cavalry (col-
ored). The ship arrived at the 1S0th
meridian on Saturday evening, and
there was no Sunday that week, the
calendar skipping from Saturday to
Monday. The colored soldiers were
much puzzled by this remarkable oc-
currence, and many discussions arose
among them as to the explanation. A
wise old sergeant sitting or deck
smoking his pipe, was listening to a
group of disputants discussing the
question from every angle. Finally he
could stand it no longer, and spoke up:
IF yuh niggahs IL shut up TO- a min
ute, and quit 'splayin' yo' ignan'ce, I'll
'splain de mattah to yuh, SOS even yuh
can und'stan' it." How is it, ser
geant?' asked n Of the disputants.
Well" said the sergeant, hits dis
way. De yearth has a North pole, a
South pole, a Eas' pole, In a Wes'
pole; yest'day we passed de Wes' pole,
an we got out Of Christian an into
heathern lands, an we amt goin' to
have no mo- Sundays"

IMPORTANT MATTER OF LIGHT
Good Reason Why One Should Be
Careful It Should Always Fall
From the Left.

The widely-known fact that, when
nsing the eyes for any near work, the
Illumination should come from the left
side rather than the right is often dis
regarded. Let anyone who considers
the matter. of little Importance once
demonstrate to- himself the difference
and he will never~forget it. Take a
pencil and paper and try to write while
in such a position that the light will
fall from the right side. The shadow
of the hand or pencil or both is thrown
on the paper in such a way as partly
to cover the characters one is making.
This necessitates a closer viewpoint
and a conscious strain on the eyes.
Now let the position of the writer be
reversed SO hat the light falls on the
work from the left side. He will no.
tice that the shadows fall away from
the work he is doing and leave the
field unobscured. In making the
change he cannot help but notice the
feeling of ease that Immediately is ex-
perienced by the eyes. This applies
to any other kind of near work in
which the fingers work under the guild
ance of the eyes. This fact should be
remembered in planning s~choolrooms,
workrooms, Offices and any places
where steady close work is to be per-
formed.-Journal of the American
Medical Association.

PUTTING Him Wise.

A physician who worthily bears .
distinguished name. occupies IN old
mansion in the suburbs of Boston.
His aunt, who lives with him, tells q
laughable story, illustrating his calm
ness of manner ard love Of method.
Not long ago his aunt tip-toed into
his room on the second floor some
time after midnight, and told him she
thought there were burglars in the
house. The doctor attired himself in
his dressing robe and went down
stairs.
In the rear hall he encountered a
tough-looking man trying to open a
door that led into the back yard. The
burglar had successfully unlocked the
door and was pulling at 1t with all his
strength. The doctor, seeing the rob
ber's ~predicament. called to him:

What but bones OF his daughter Edith?
Her body had been burned with the
wagon. And doubtless her mother,
too, was here also ~incinerated.
God have mercy upon our souls and
incline our hearts to keep thy laws!'
Doctor Wayne intoned in a strange
voice.
These were the last rational words
he vas to utter for many a day. For
calamity had shattered his mind. All
in an hour his beloved ones had been
taken from him. as he supposed, vio-
lently, horribly, forever. He broke into
demoniacal laughter. And from far
in the forest came the sound of an
other laugh just as horrible-the
laughter of a hyena who, perhaps, sup
posed it was responding to the cry Of
one of its own kind.
Doctor Wayne reeled away from the
wagon, staggered across the clearing
and into the jungle. He Numbered on,
not toward the kraal of Wambo, but
farther and farther into the darksome,

Novel Features In Lifeboat.

An unsuitable sailing lifeboat,
which is fitted with an auxiliary mos
tor, is described in Popular Mechanics
The craft is built with a rounded bot
tom and broad beam, quite similar to
the lines of a dinghy, while its top Is
decked. Two leaved doors in the
deck are opened when the boat il
right-side up, it's occupants sitting in
the hold. When a wave strikes the
craft and capsizes it, the doors are
automatically closed. The passengers
are then within the. craft. An aper-
ture in one of the sides furnishes them
with air, while it is also possible for
them to open one of the deck doors
on the up side. In this way they can
loosen the mast and by throwing their
weight to one gunwale, right the craft
again.

eagerness. What is the news?"

DIET THAT PROLONGS LIFE
Cheese in Place of Meat Is Recon-
mended for Those Whose Arteries
Are Hardening.

Hardening of the arteries, which fire.
quently accompanies old age, is the re-
suit of a condition of the blood YES
sells in which the blood pressure is
raised above normal in varying de-
grees. The result is a weakening OF
the vessels, making them likely to
rupture even under normal blood
pressure, but especially so when the
blood pressure is high.
The hardening of the arteries with
high blood pressure is caused by GER
tain poisons in the blood derived from
food, particularly certain kinds of pro-
tein food. Meat, particularly red
meat, is thought to be the principal
offender; but all proteins are suspect
ed of aiding in making the condition.
The remedy is obvious; stop eating
proteins. But proteins are absolutely
necessary to life. However, it has been
discovered that all proteins are not
equally harmful.
It has been found that cheese in
various forms can be substituted for
meat indefinitely, supplying the body
with the necessary amount of protein,
without the poisonous purin bodies.
AS q result, the bIoC1-PFessure is low
cred, and in recent cases, hardenins
of the arteries is prevented.

many dropped in their tracks.
The Kafrs rallied and again adj
vanced with extreme caution, hurting
their spears. Amazu again fired his
gun.
Bantu was watching the fight from
the tail piece of the wagon. Suddenly
he gave a shrill cry-and fell back

miles through the forest. Then the
body of this little black boy stiffened
