and Mrs. Emma Plessner-McCann was

The house and lot were a wedding
Present from the Toledo Real Estate

Was Miss Emma Plessner until few

the welfare of the individual so the
person should have anxious care for
every cell in the body. The brain of
the person may be reasonably Hkened
to the governing OF law-making ma
tional brain, the Congress. Other or
gans of the body likewise may be COM
pared to other adjuncts of the national
body. The brain of the Individual di-
reefs the entire manner of living of
the individual. The individual is more
liable to error than a number of in
dividuals, hence the necessity of much
counsel. A number of individuals met
in health considering conventions have
decided that personal hygiene is abb
solutely necessary to the preparedness
of the individual. Many individuals
know nothing, comparatively, of per-
sonal hygiene. 1T SHOULD BE THE
LAW that every person be educated
in the matter of personal hygiene and
be COMPELLED to practice it.
1t is said that Japan is prepared.
1t is said that japan has every home
regularly inspected in order to enforce
cleanliness and general hygiene. Japan
looks after the individual and expects
every individual to do an individual IS
duty. Japan compels individual safety
and necessarily individual service.
Preparedness then, is a reciprocal
matter, a circle within a circle, good
for all if it is conducted right.
The war in Europe demonstrates that
the nation that takes best care of its
citizens is best prepared to fight its

Stanford University, California.-A
pearl estimated to have been formed
100000 years ago and to be the oldest
specimen Of its kind In the world vas
found by Stanley G. Herold, a STAN
ford student, six months ago. The
pearl will be presented to the Stanford
museum.
The pearl and the cockleshen in which
1t was imbedded came to Stanford in
q consignment Of geologic material
from the coast Of the state Of Wash
ington.
According to university authorities,
the pearl Is of little value as a gem.
but the oyster in which 1t was found
originated, they said. probably Ia the
paleozoic period.

As a general thing, taken by and
large, men are honest except with
themselves.
A man will cheat himself on his
score at golf, when he knows that fail
ing to set down the full number of
strokes does not make him a better
golfer.
If he is a fat man and is dieting to
reduce he will shove the weight back a
pound or two on the scales when he
knows In his heart he is heavier than
that.
Then he will tell his friends about
"going around yesterday in 90" and
taking off a pound and a half in
three days" by his diet
With these two exceptions almost
every man Is honest Therefore all
you need to do Is to discount what he
says about golf or reducing.-Judge

A COMMON SENSE POLICY.

Kansas IS tbs first state to bar the
drinker from holding public office. The
civil se2yice commission, at the sug
gestion of Governor Capper incorpora
ted this ruling in the new law. Most
OF the big corporations and other large
employers have adopted the policy OF
not employing drinking people," said
the governor in bis letter to the Com
mission. In my Judgment state can
well afford to follow in such foot
steps," ~

 Precincts.
CONTESTS BEFORE

WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.-Champ Clark discussing the Speakership of the House of Representatives today said that the only thing that could be done was to watch the official count closely in the districts that are doubtful. This indicates that no party now has a majority in the next House.
 Speaker Clark observed that three times before in the history of the American government there had been prolonged contests over the Speakership. each time they last ing more than three months.
 The last time iB which no party had a clear majority in Congress was in December, 1855, which Con- gress was elected in 1854 The Speakership contest lasted from Dec. 8. 1855 to Feb. 9, 1856. when Nathaniel P. Banks of Boston was elected by coalition of Republi- cans and know nothings," on the 193rd ballot
