PROPER DIET FOR LAZY MEN
Physician Advocates Liberal Feeding
TO Keep Person Of Sedentary
Habits in Proper Condition.

A proper diet for person Of seden-
tary habits whose bodily functions
are inclined to sluggishness, as sug-
gested by DR.. Tom A. Williams OF
Washington, is as follows:
"A glass of hot water before ris-
ing; grapefruit or two oranges in the
morning with abundance Of cereal,
milk, and whole wheat bread with
sirup; an ample lunch about the MD
die of the day, taken leisurely IN
pleasant surroundings, and a meal at
night, preferably without meat, fish
or eggs, taken in a leisurely fashion,
also. One or two apples might be
eaten just before retiring. One or two
glasses Of water during the morning
and in the afternoon.
Good respiratory habits must be
acquired. Ten minutes in the morn
ing while dressing, spent in taking
slow abdominal muscle exercises, with
deep breathing, should begin the day.
They should be repeated for two or
three minutes before luncheon, in the
evening and before bed. A correct
posture in a comfortable chair should
be adopted at the desk, especial at
tention being given to prevent sagglng
Of the abdominal muscles.

ANIMALS THAT NEVER EAT
Many Mechanical Appliances Have
Been Given the Names OF Birds
and Beasts.

Have you ever realized what a num-
ber Of scientific appliances have been
named after animals? And can you
furnish an explanation?
A mechanic puts his work upon
horse, or buck, and he punches or
bends It by convenient bear Hoist
ing is done by a crab, a convenient
eat is part Of the outfit Of a shop
crane. and kit OF tools is ever at
hand.
A crow helps to straighten work, a
Jack to lift it; mule pulley helps to
drive machinery which a donkey en-
gine turns. A fish connects parts end
to end, shells are used all over, while
q worm does quiet but powerful work.
Again, cock shuts of the water;
q ram lifts it. 4 printing press has
fly, the first locomotives had a grass
hopper valve motion, and butterfly
valves are common.
Eerring-bone gears are used by the
best builders; turtles fit printing press
cylinders, and fly wheels are running
all over the world. In drilling, even,
an old man is called into service, and
doctors prevent faulty lathe work.

Toadskins Cure Dropsy.

Toads have always been looked up
on as loathsome and even poisonous by
country people. From the skins, how
ever, Of toads, quacks in the middle
ages used to make all sorts of medi-
cines to sell to their patients.
The remarkable discovery has been
made by Doctor Abel that the quacks
were not so far wrong as many people
thought. He made study of a giant
tropical toad found in the river ANA
zon, and from it's skin he extracted a
remarkable substance which cures
dIopsy.
OF course it has long been a grand
mothers remedy to cure dropsy by
means of the skin of a toad, and 1t
was to find out if there was an:' truth
in the remedy that Doctor Abel began
experimenting. The same substance
he found in this tropical species ne
has also found in the common toad.
Soon doctors will prescribe, perhaps,
boiled toad and caper sauce for drop
sical patients.

DOG WITH All INDIVIDUALITY
NoyeIist's Pet Had Many 1ecuIiarities,
Some OF Which Were the Cause
of Embarrassment.

During a summers sojourn IN her
native home in Texas, Mrs. I. +.
O'Connor, the talented wife OF "Tay
Pay" wrote book on the traits and
individual characteristics OF various
dogs that she has owned or known.
While in New York. on the eve OF her
return to England, she was inter-
viewed by representative Of the New
York Sun, to whom she told the fol-
lowing story of dog owned by Bar
rie, the famous novelist and dramatist.
The dog was evidently the prototype
OF the Newfoundland in Barrie's Lit
tie White Bird"
"Mr. Barrie told me this story" said
Mrs. O'Conlor. "He said that the dog
had craze for dolls. They would
pass a shop, and the dog would see
a. doll displayed in the window and
manifest wish for one. When Mr..
Barrie priced the dolls. the clerk
would invariably ask how old was the
child for whom it was intended. And
because he was ashamed to say that
the doll was for the dog, he would
reply: -Four years. as that was the
age of the Newfoundland.
"One Sunday they went to church
in the country. The dog had been
left outside. But he refused to be sep
arated from his family. At the first
opportunity he squeezed through the
door. and Mr.. Barrie beheid him march
ing up the aisle as the congregation
we're waiting for the service to begin.
With a fascinated gaze his owner
watched him make his numbering way
to the pulpit stairs and then ascend
them. He looked ali round, turning
his heal this way and that, in search
of his master. Then. to gain better
vantage, he put his forepaws on the
Bible desk and calmly stood there on
his hind legs, surveying the assembled
congregation.
Mr.. Barrie did not wish to establish
his responsibility for such behavior,
and sat petrifed lest the chancel door
should open and the rector appear
who hated and was afraid Of dogs.
Miss Barrie, his sister, solved the diff
| ficulty by going up and gently leading
.Porthos' down."-Youth's Companion.

CHARACTER In WoMEN's HAIR
Golden and Red-HeaSed Ones Can
Both Love and Hate Ardently,
Says Writer.
Haye you q head of mi6brown
treSseS?

Have you head of midbrown
tresses?
The majority OF British girls are
brown haired-the coloring is typical
Of our temperament, and shows q
happy blending Of our traits, a writer
IN London Answers observes.
The head generally rules the heart
among women Of this coloring, who
are blessed with a good supply OF 'el-
bow grease" and common sense.
For vim and vivacity look to the
curly-headed girl; her ripping locks
are eloquent Of vitality and energy
more than any other kind Of hair. This
girl belongs to the push and 60 vari-
ETY., and is not easily baked IN her
determination, and would never lose
an opportunity Of promotion through
shyness or fear.
Next to her in energy comes the
straight-haired, dark woman. She has
not the yivacity Of the woman with
curls, but she has intensity, passion
and determination beyond other WON
en-. and is able to influence others.
Impulsive, warm-hearted, yet trlne
capricious is the woman possessing
golden or red hair. She can both love
and hate very ardently, but is not a.
ways sincere in either.
Very fair-haired damsels are apt to
be rather colorless by nature IS well
as by coloring, but they make excel
lent business women, and are usually
cool and collected in an emergency.
Refinement and gentleness is always
indicated by fine hair; coarse, heavy
hair generally denotes strong con-
stitution and an obstinate disposition.

Giant and Dwarf Honey Bees.

Giant and Dwarf Honey Sees.
In some Of the East Indian islands
and on the mainland Of Hindustan
are to be found the smallest species
Of honey bees in the world. These
dwarf honey collectors are known to
entomologists as Apis forea. Their
honeycombs are no longer than
child's hand and the cells are about
the size Of small pin head. This
honey is excellent, as IS the wax. The
little creatures build the comb on
the branch Of a low tree, and as they
have not to provide for winter they
work all the year through, raising
broods like themselves.
In the same land there is a species
OF giant bees, Apis dorsata, as large
as field cricket. These monsters OF
the bee world build honeycombs that
are from six to seven feet in length,
four or more in width, and weigh
from 300 to 400 pounds each.
