EXPLAINED BY TIE STUDENT
Absence of Sunday Really Was Not SO
Much of d Mystery as II Seemed
to Soldiers.

Some years ago troopship 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 we're
much puzzled by this remarkable &C.
currence. and many discussions arose
among them as to the explanation A
wise old sergeant sitting on 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 II shut Up 70 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 one of the disputants.

Tonic Of the Open Air.

There is no better, more invigorat.
Ing tonic to the man who is compelled
to labor within doors than sunlight
and the open air. This is particularly
true Of the green fields and the wood
ed districts Of the country where the
air, waited across great open
stretches, is particularly pure and
bracing.
Therefore, the men who labor with
brain or hands, or both, In cities,
should avail themselves Of every op-
portunity to HE themselves to the
country, or IL they cannot do that, to
the breathing places of the city where
the air is better than along the crowd
ed thoroughfares and where the sun
shine meets with fewer distractions
Most men, these days, when COM
petition in all lines of industry and
trade is keen, daily are living a stren-
uous life, putting forth their best
energy. straining such talent as they
possess to accomplish results. When
they feel the strain Is too great and
near the breaking point, they should
seek the tonic which instinct pre-
scribes.

aOURIER'S THE BETTER IDEA
His Philosophy Infinitely Preferable
to HegeI's Expressed Ideas OF
the Absolute.

A New England contemporary,
which is prone to delve deep into the
very essence OF things, cannot forego
indulgence in an excursion into the
domain of philosophy as it furnishes
a prelude for war. 1t recalls how Ma
poleons entry in Jena in 1906 dis
turbed the German philosopher, Hegel,
then engaged on his theory Of the abb
solute He saw the battle and he
packed up his manuscripts and fled.
He recognized the Corsican as the
absolute on horseback. But when st.
Helena received this absolute Hegel
returned to Berlin and preached the
doctrine that the kaiser eXemplifies.
Then arose in Russia the countervail-
ing idea of pan-Slavism, at first nur-
tufed by the czar himself.
That is all engaging, but there was
Charles Fourier, a French socialist
philosopher, who witnessed the siege
Of rice destroyed, which had been held
so long for higher prices that it be-
came unfit for consumption. Then he
attacked social problems and devised
a system OF community living. In New
Jersey today stand the ruins of mills
and warehouses that recall the Ameri-
can experiment in Fourierism. He
saw great social transformation If nat
ural forces were left free to act. Sea
water would be as palatable as lem
onade, the north pole would become
habitable and man would develop new
organs, such as an eye in the back OF
his head Isn't that philosophy pref
cradle to Hegel's ideas Of the abso-
lutte? What misery would be atten-
dant were one to know all about the
absolute, to foresee all that was to
come down the ringing grooves Of
change.-Pittsburgh Post

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

The widely-known fact that, when
using 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 that 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 schoolrooms,
workrooms, Offices and any places
where steady close work is to be per-
formed-Journal of the American
Medical Association.

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.
sAls in which the blood pressure is
-aised 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.
1t 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 result the blood pressure is low
cred and in recent cases, hardening
of the arteries is prevented.
