Heredity and Eugenlcs.

Only a misguided enthusiast. says
the Journal of the American Medical
Association would venture to make
great claims at the present time for
the possible future usefulness Of ap-
pfied eugenics. The doctrines of
heredity on which the new poJtuiates
are based must first be subjected to
critical investigation. The limita-
tions of the practical aspects of eu-
genics must be clearly formulated and
emphasized. 1t is we'll enough to
maintain in a genera. way that vital
ity is partly inherited and partly ac-
Quired, and that "a sound physical and
mental Inheritance is a greater asset
than the Inheritance of extraneous adj
vantages like wealth. Many individ-
uals, however, have assumed that the
new science is primarily intended to
foster a scheme of general govern
mental interference with marriage. AS
a matter of fact, the most earnest stu
dents Of the subject have at best
hoped to promote the gradual estab-
lishment Of standards in public. opin

If you Suffer from Backache, Lumbago,

American men and women must

our food is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid which the kidneys strive
to filter out, they weaken from over

Odessa is builded in the midst of a
dreary steppe. It is regularly laid out
in broad streets, faced with substan-
tial modern buildings, and wears its
commercial prosperity patent to the
most casual visitor. It's port is
equipped with six good harbors-the
quarantine harbor, coal harbor, petro-
leum harbor, new harbor, "practicaP'
harbor, and the harbor Of the Russian
Company for Navigation and Com
merce, the principal shipping company
Of the port. The freezing Of the har-
bors and the bay interrupts navigation
for an average Of Is days each year.
Novorossia, or New Russia, which
includes the governments of Bessa-
rabia and Kherson, has it's intellectual
and commercial capital at Odessa.
The social capital is also there, and
the life of the metropolis has been de-
scribed as much more gay than the
life of Paris or Vienna. The nights in
the Odessa of pre-war days we're giddy
and irresponsible, the avenues filed
with people and ablaZe with cafes un-
til early morning hours. The merry
making of Odessa did not really begin
in the cafes chantants until midnight
and its gayeties lasted until between
three and five in the morning.
There was dark side to the pic
ture, the usual one to contrast with
the bright in every great city. A mis-
cradle army Of poor, whose ranks were
largely filed by the tides Of transient
labor that washed the greatest trading
city Of southern Russia, lived from
hand to mouth on stray crumbs of the
places prosperity. The number of the
very poor was estimated at $4,000, and
many of them lived IN the extensive
catacombs beneath the, city, which
were formed by the quarrying of sand
stone for building.

First Guide to Beauty.

By singing, and by singing only, a
fittle child of five may come in con-
tact with a pure and perfect form of
beauty. Not only that, but the child
can reproduce this beauty entirely un-
aided, and in the process of doing so
its whole being-body, mind, heart,
and SOULS engaged. The song, for
the moment, is the child. There is no
possible realization of the little per
sonality comparable to this. Here, in
sounds, is that correlation of impulses
in which the stars move; here is the
world of order and beauty in minia-

NASTY CAL0MEL
1t salivates! 1t makes you sick
and you may lose a

You're bilious, sluggish, constipated
and believe you need vile, dangerous
calomel to start your liver and clean
your bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for so cent bottle of bod
sons Liver Tone and take spoonful
tonight. If it doesn't start your liver
and straighten you right up better
than calomel and without gripping or
making you sick want you to go back
to the store and get your money.
Take calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak and sick and nau-
seated. Don't lose days work. Take

Honor Japanese Explorer.

The Japanese people are paying
honor to a famous Japanese explorer,
the Rev. Ekai Kawaguchi, who has
just returned from successful ,relig,
ious mission to the innermost regions
of Tibet. Almost a score of years
ago Doctor Kawaguchi conceived the
project of recovering to the world the
hidden scripts of pristine Buddhism
from the land of the Llamas, away in
the alcoves of the worlds roof. He
penetrated Tibet, but had to come
home abandoning the object of his ex-
ploration. Later, after a long study
of the Tibetan language, he made his
way through mountain and forest and
overcoming many hardships finally
succeeded in entering Tibet three
years after his departure from Ja'
pan. His wanderings in the interior
were mostly in the disguise of trav-
cling physician: After studying the
Tibetan religion and conditions for
ten years he was given copies of the
Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures and re-

founded by Catherine II after her war
of conquest against the Turk had end

its foundation, was largely due to the
desire to have strong city just as
near to Constantinople as possible, as
a well-equipped point Of departure for
Slav armies of future generations.

Odessa has only recently passed it's

three other cities in the empire for
size and commercial importance-Pe-

when Catherine the Great commanded

it's foundation, it numbered 5000

Race of Woman Warriors.

The word Amazon is Greek and was
used thousands of years before Amer
lea was discovered. According to ira
dition, it was applied to race of fe-
male warriors who had the form but
hardly any of the attributes of wom-
en-. In order that they might hurl a
javelin or aim an arrow more effec-
lively, the right breast was removed
to give greater freedom to the arm;
hence the name Amazon from a-mazos,
without breasts. In works of art,
sculpture and painting, the Amazons
were represented with the right side,
the place of the removed breast, cov-
cred. The Amazon river in Brazil
was SO called by the Spanish explorer
who discovered it because he said he
encountered fighting women there

To People Who Are
Under NOrmalWeiqht
Good Advice For Thin, rndeyel-
Oped Men and Womnn Who
Want To Put on Flesh.

Thousands of people suffer
from excessive thinness. weak
nerves and feeble stomachs who,
having tried advertised flesh
makers, foodfads. physical cul-
ture stunts and rub-on creams,
resign themselves to lifelong
skinniness and think nothing
will make them fat, Yet their
case is not hopeless. A recently
discovered combination of assim-
ilative agents has made fat grow
after years of thinness, and il is
also uunequaled. Judging from
reports, for repairing the waste
of sickness or faulty digestion
and for strengthening the nerves.
This remarkable preparation is
called Sargol. Six strength-giv-
ing, reproducing assimilative
elements of acknowledged merit
have been combined in this
preparation, which is endorsed
and used by prominent people
everywhere. 1t is absolutely
harmless, inexpensive and eff
cient.
A few weeks systematic use of
Sargol should go far to produce
flesh and strength by correcting
faults of digestion and by sup
plying nourishing fats to the
blood. If not, every druggist who
sells 1t is authorized to return
the purchase price. Increased
nourishment is obtained from the
food eaten, and the additional
fats that thin people need are
thus provided. The Crown Drug
Co., Tacoma, Wash, and other
leading druggists supply Sargol
and say there is a large demand
for II.
While this new preparation has
from reports given splendid re-
suits as nerve-tonic and vital
izer, Its use Is not recommended
to nervous people unless they
wish to gain at least ten pounds
of flesh.

Don't hide your freckles under
a veil; get an ounce of othine and
remove them. Even the first few
applications should show a won
derful improvement, some of the
lighter freckles vanishing en-
tirely.

for the double strength othine;
