There is a distinct difference be-
tween power and endurance. The ay-
erage woman seems to have quite as
much endurance as the average man;
but in actual physical power she is
entirely outclassed. In a series OF
experiments to determine this point,
it was found that the average energy
a man can develop is one-tifth horse
power, that of a woman only half as
much. The machine for making the
tests is bicycle mounted on a fixed
frame, and geared to a brake wheel.
The person under test works the ped
ais, and the point at which the friction
of the brake causes the machine to
stop indicates the horsepower he has
reached.

DRESS WARM AND

Tells rheumatism Sufferers to
Take Salts and Get Rid
of Uric Acid.

Rheumatism is no respecter Of age.
sex, color or rank. If not the most
dangerous of human Affections it is
one of the most painful. Those SUBJ
ject to rheumatism should eat less
meat. dress as warmly as possible,
avoid any undue exposure and aobye
all, drink lots of pure water.
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood II is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out
in the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly.
cold weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate this uric acid
which keeps accumuating and circu-
laring through the system, eventually
settling in the JOINTS and muscles,
causing stiffness. soreness and pain
called rheumatism.
At the first twinge Of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces Of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon.
fuI in a glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said 10 eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action thus rIdding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have ple9s-
ant, effervescent lithia-water drink
which overcomes uric acid and is
beneficial to your kidneys as well.

Meanina of the Crescent.

The Turkish crescent, although now
regarded as essentially Mohammedan
in significance, was, il appears, of
Christian origin. A crescent moon
was the emblem of the Byzantine en-
pire and of the Eastern church. The
Turks adopted it as badge of tri-
umph after the capture of Constan
tnople in 1853. With reference to
the crescent, the story of the origin
of the crescent-shaped Vienna roll is
worth recalling 1t arose in the six
teenth century, when the Turks were
Desieging Vienna Failing to carry IL
by assault, they began to mine the
walls. At that period the city's bake
houses were in the walls under the
fortiticatiOns, and when the mines
were almost through the sound of the
work was heard in the underground
bakehouses and an alarm was given.
To celebrate this event the bakers of
Vienna adopted the Turkish emblem
az the form in which to mold and
bake their bread.

SAGE TEA TURNS

Don't bother to prepare the tonic;
you can get from any drug store a

Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage

naturally and evenly that nobody can
tell it has been applied. You simply
dampen sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through the hair,
taking one small strand at time;

peared, and after another application
it becomes beautifully dark and ap-

loosen and then the hair comes out
fast. To stop falling hair at once and
rid the scalp of every particle of dan
druff, get a csc bottle of Danderine
at any drug store, pour a little in your
hand and rub it into the scalp. After
few applications the hair stops com

Of Love Would Have Been, but
Her Methods Were as
Effective.

Henderson rushed into the dlng
suburban railway station much the
same as he rushed about his business
affairs. As he closed the door he was
greeted BY four Of his college friends.
all returning after vacation.
While engaged IN conversation with
his friends an elderly man approached,
stretched out his hand in greeting and
asked II Henderson vas returning 10
the college town. Answered In the ar
hrmative, the man requested a favor Of
HendersOn-that he assist his daugh-
ter who was a schoOlteaeher In the
college town. TO her home.
With visions Of a scrawny, 5espec-
tacIed. elderly schoolma'n, Henderson
obligingly accepted the duty Of escort,
agreeing to report soon to meet the
teacher.
He put on the meeting until he
heard the train whistle for the station.
Then he made his way to the women's
waiting room, where, to his surprise,
he beheld q bright and yivacious girl
Of twenty-three years, with a merry
twinkle In her eyes.
Henderson's surprise was manifest
In his eOuntensnce when introduced
and his eyes clearly conveyed his
thoughts-that the girl was good to
look upon.
Boarding the crowded train, it be-
came convenient for them to sit togeth-
er and soon they found much to talk
about Of interest to both.
Then ''Buss" appeared on the scene.
"Buss" was little girl about four
years cid. Her real name was Mar
garet, but because she kept up a cor
tinual chatter her mother had called
her "Buss." She manifested keen
interested in Henderson and the teach
en-. Finally she broke away from her
mother and crowded into the seat with

Turning her large brown orbs upon
Henderson, she asked: do you like
herT' The question proved disconcert-
ing, to say the least, but finally Hem
derson managed to stammer that he
did. Then the same brown or0s turned
to the teacher with the same inquiry.
Blushing profusely, the teacher stam-
mered much the same answer as did
Henderson.
Then "Buss" acted. She took the
teachers hand and placed it into that
Of Henderson with this exclamation,
Now you are married"
Then her mother took her away with
a severe reprimanding. But the mis-
chief had been done. After landing his
charge safely in her boarding house,
Henderson tried to forget It all, but he
WIS not successful
Then came a day when he met the
teacher face to face on the street.
Both smiled and Henderson accompa-
MED her to her boarding house. When
he left some time later he took with
him her promise to attend the theater
two nights later. There were other oc-
casions when they met and frequent
ones, too. They married two years Ia
Ter and have lived happily ever since.
