MORGAN'S CIGARS COST $1.25
The Kaiser, Who Is Supplied by Same
Cuban Factory, Pays Ninety
Cents Apiece.

They found among the effects left by
Pierpont Morgan $4,000 worth of
cigars. l held in my hand few days
ago two boxes of his favOrite brands.
His after-dinner smokes cost S1.25
each.
A representative of the Cuban fac
tory which makes them tells me that
Morgan ordered usually 5000 or 5000
at clip.
There are only two men in Cuba
who can make that cigar, and nearly
all of them are produced Ly one man, ;"
said this Cuban producer. "We pay him
40 cents to make each cigar and he can
roll about % of them in one day"
The king of Wall street smoked u bit
better cigar than does Emperor VIII
liam of Germany. The kaiser's cigar,
made by the same factory in Cuba, is
worth 80 cents.
The oldest brand of cigars was put
out 112 years ago-that Is, the Oldest
which is in existence today. l under
stand that, in face of the British bat
| tleships, the kaiser is still able TO get
all the cigars he wants.-Philadelphia

Oil Germ Destroyers.

Certain essential oils have been
proved to be powerful germ destroy
ers and recent experiments have
shown that they may even give effec-
tivenesS to preventive vaccineS. K.
dHerelli of the PaSteur institute has
investigated especially the subject of
rendering white mice immune to the
bacillus typhi muriuc. an organism of
the group producing paratyph0id. At
tempts have been made to prepare a
vaccine for the mice from a product
containing the dead bacilli but failure
has been the result. 1t was then Sug-
geSted that some new method of kill
ing the bacilli might have effect. Trials
were made with essential oils, such
as those of cinnamon, garlic, thyme,
marjoram. cloves and mustard, and
the bacilli killed by these were found
to be immunizing under certain con-
ditiOns. A white mouse, for instance,
is made proof against the living bacilli
by injections of vaccine containing
from 100000 to 100000 corpses of
odClih oidih W oil VI iHuSldiu' Du'
the numbers must be very carefully
maintained With dose of more than
100000 dead bacilli, the immunity
is feeble or nonresident; but, on the
other hand, the dose must be not less
than half n million, no effect resulting
from 10000. 1t is concluded that the
oil of mustard gives vaccine that is
very active in the right doses.

Would You Be Strong and
Healthy? Then Just Walk

Walking is one of the best exercises
n person can possibly take, physicians
say. To walk properly it is necessary
to keep the head erect, the shoulders
back, and the abdominal muscles
tense, so that the abdominal viscera
are not allowed to dangle in space or
left to drop into the pelvis.
Energy and life must be thrown into
the exercise and elasticity into the
step in order for it to be of benefit.
Deep abdominal breathing must also
be practiced. OF course, care must be
taken not TO overdO at first. A short,
energetic walk of 10 minutes is of
greater value, mentally and physically.
than a listless, spiritless walk of five
hours.
Instead of raw March winds and
cold drafts-in other words, outside
air of low temperature-being the
cause of colds and catarrhal affec-
tions," says DR.. Felix l.. Oswald, lit
is the warm, vitiated, indoor air that
is the cause while outdoor air is the
best remedy. The combination of eX-
ercise, abstinence and fresh air Will
cure the most obstinate cold.
Air is both food and drink to the
lungs. 1t is more-like water to the
body-it washes them clean. One great
advantage the persistent walker has is
i'm getting used TO all kinds of weather.
Exposure TO cold and damp will do him
no harm, although it might be fatal to
others.
Walking, if resOlutely and judi
ciOusly followed, is q perfect exercise,
which taxes the entire system. When
you walk properly every member and
muscle. every nerve and fiber has
something 10 do. The lungs grow
strong and sound the chest enlarges
the limbs are rounded out, the tendons
swell and tougher. the figure rises in
height and dignity and is clothed with
grace and suppleness. Not merely the
body, but the whole individual is de
veloped."

An Excess of Sugar

When sugar is taken in excess it
undergoes fermentation i'm the ali
mentary canal, where il is converted
into alcohol, carbonic acid and acetic
acids. This fermentation and its
products impede the work OF the liver
and make the system run with fric-
ton, prevent the elimination OF eff
fete products, and often long-contin-
ued use crippleS all the processes Of
life. Cane sugar, especially in strong
solution. is an irritant To the stomach.
When no sugar is taken in the food
the liver makes all the sugar that is
needed in the system. In addition to
this. all the starch that is taken as
food is converted into sugar IN the
body.

ANYTHING BUT A HlGHBR0W!
The AveHoe Man Naturally Flinches
From the Reputation for In
tellectuaIity.

No one really wants TO be consid-
cred a highbrow. The term itself. as
Van Wyck Brooks says, is derogatory.
Here and there a person may be SO
superior as TO be flattered by the
derision of the herd. Undergraduates
like TO think they are. But man
has to be far gone in superiority be-
fore he relishes the notion of being
avoided for its sake.
You cannot imagine man like
NietZsche trying TO prove that he had
a heart any more than you can imag-
inc him shooting the chutes ut Coney
Island. He is the kind of Olympian
whose dignity seems TO have been In
herent. You would just rs soon drink
beer out of porcelain as slap a
Nietzsche on the back. But the ordi-
nary Olympian, certainly in America,
is more anxious TO show he is gre
garious than 10 protect his reputation
for superiority and intellect.
You do not have to slap him on the
back; he slaps you. If he is running
for office, in particular, he wants 1t
to be known that blood not ice water,
flows through his veins. He yearns
TO Indicate that he is good fellow.

Clara Kimball Young has just been
