Anatomical Test.

IN recent years many anatomists
have given much attention to solving
the problem of reproducing from the
skulls the faces of ancient peoples.
According to Nature, Prof. G. w. M.
Poynter Of the University of Nebraska
some time ago gave three skulls to a
sculptor, with the request that he re-
construct the feshy parts of the face
and head according to the data pub
l1shed by Professor Won Eggeling of
the University Of Jena. Professor
Poynter did not tell the artist that
the three skulls were all of natives
of North America. AS matter Of
fact one, possibly of the Pleistocene
age, was found by Mr.. Robert F. Gil.
der in a mound Of river loan in Ne
braska; one belonged to an Indian Of
pre-Columbian date; and one was that
of a modern Indian. The photographs
OF the artists work show in all three
cases the characteristic face of the
American Indian. Whatever the age
OF the Nebraska skull may prove to
be, it's owner was undoubtedly man
of the Indian type.

CONSUMPTION TAKES
$50 PEOPLE DAILY

Over $50 people succumb to con-
sumption every day in the United States.
Science proves that the germs only
thrive when the system is weakened from
colds or sickness, overwork, confning
duties or when general weakness exists.
The best physicians point out that
during changing seasons the blood should
be made rich and pure and active by TAX
ing Scots Emulsion after meals. The cod
liver oil in Scott's Emulsion warns the
body by enriching the blood; it peculiarly
strengthens the lungs and throat, while it
upbuilds the resistive forces of the body
to avoid colds and prevent consumption.
If you work indoors, tire easily, feel
languid or nervous, Scott s Emulsion is the
most strengthening food medicine known.
1t is totally free from alcohol or any
stupefying drug. Avoid substitutes.

Reading Ones Own Books.

Cultivated men and women have al
ways counted good books among their
most valued possessions, and one can
not believe that this taste can be sac
riiced without definite loss to our
civilization. The spoken word can
never supplant the written word; and,
in fact, the present tendency is all to-
ward substituting print for speech.
Nor can reading in public places take
the place Of reading ones own books
in the quiet of ones home. Books
that are owned wait patiently on the
readers leisure; and to have just the
book t,ne wants, when one wants 1t, is
and must remain one of the supreme
luxuries Of cultivated life.
Books, too, when personally owned,
gather around themselves wealth of
personal associations. The very bind
ing, paper and title-page recall the
conditions under which the book came
into our possession. AS we open its
pages we remember the last time we
read it, the place and circumstances,
and the people with whom we dis
cussed it. Books have personality;
and they must always remain the
warm friends of their possessors.-
Atlantic Monthly.

TRY THIS EASY WAY
TO CLEAR YOUR SKIN
WITH RESINOL SOAP

Battle your face for several minutes,
working the creamy lather into the
skin gently with the finger-tips. Then
wash off with more Resinol Soap and
warm water, finishing with dash of
clear cold water to close the pores.
Do this once or twice day, and you
will be astonished how quickly the
healing, antiseptic Resinol medication
soothes and cleanses the pores, re-
moves pimples and blackheads, and
leaves the complexion clear, fresh and
velvety. In severe cases a little Res
mol Ointment should also be used.
Resinol Soap is sold by all druggists.

Trench Routine.

Writing from a hospital in England,
where he was sent after severe en-
gagement near Ypres, a Canadian
says that. lowing to the strain of liv-
ing in these trenches, the usual rou-
tine is as follows for any battalion:
-Four days in the firing line, four days
in reserve, four days in the firing line
again, four days in reserve, and then
Is days behind in order to rest" This
is most definite proof of the tre-
mendous strain troops must undergo
in modern warfare, when even after
this steady regime of relaxation cases
of shattered nerves are common in
army hospitals.

ALWAYS ON BRINK OF DEATH
Workers In High Explosives Realize
What May Be the Result Of Me-
ment's CareIessness.

Explosives are solids which, under
certain conditions, suddenly change
into heated gas occupying many times
the original space of the solids. Ordi-
nary gunpowder, when fred, turns
into gas, of which the volume is 1000
times as great as that of the powder.
No wonder the bullet in front of it
leaves the muzzle of the rife in
hurry.
Today there are scores, even hun
dreds, Of different sorts of explosives
known to science. Some, such as lyd-
dite, require very considerable shock
to explode them. Others, such as nj
troglycerin, are fearfully dangerous to
handle, for few extra degrees Of
warmth or a very slight jar is suf-
f1cient to turn them instantly into gas.
Of the latter type there is nothing
quite so unstable as iodide of nitro
gen. It has to be made in alcohol.
When allowed to dry it appears as
brown powder, and so unstable IS this
powder that touch with feather
will set it off. The experiment has
been tried of leaving few grams
upon table mixed with few grains
of sugar. The first bluebottle that
flew on the table and began to crawl
among the grains caused an explosion.
The mere Earring of the air by
loud shout or a heavy footstep is suf-
ficient to detonate iodide of nitrogen,
and it need hardly be added that no
one in his senses would attempt to
make this terrible stuff. To do so in
any quantity would be equivalent to
committing suicide.
Nitroglycerin is not so dangerous as
this iodide, but at temperature of
only 100 degrees-that is, very little
more than the warmth of the human
body-it begins to decompose
Tons of nitroglycerin are turned out
every day, for it is the explosive from
which guncotton is made. But all the
mixing watts are artiicially cooled by
coils Of cold-water pipes.
