their necks trying to see It all a.

to see at one or two performances.
The crowd assembled Thursday

the capacity OF the vast tented arena.
However, the company IL accustomed
to taking care OF large crowds and

nicely. At night the crowd waa
large and apprecintive. The music
was good and the performances all

WHY WE STAND on ONE LEG
Few Understand That the Involuntary
Action Is to Rest the Bones OF
the Hips.

Naturalists have distinguished us
from the higher animals by the fact
that we stand upright on two legs.
But do we? Watch a crowd standing
about a street orator, and see how
many are really standing on both legs.
Or try yourself to stand on two legs,
and see how soon you are ready to
fall from fatigue.
The truth is we nave not yet abso-
ascribed to us by the scientists. Even
in the army, where comfort is always
sacrificed to trim appearance, the COM
mand, "Stand at ease," which allows
the soldiers to throw one leg back ana
prop themselves upon it, shows how
impossible a perfectly upright position
is to maintain for any length of time.
AS any anatomist will tell us, we are
still built very much like the monkeys.
Standing perfectly upright can only
be done by very complicated cross
strain, one set of muscles pushing for
ward, another holding back. With ev-
cry movement we make new adjust
ment Of these muscles takes place.
The trouble is all with our hip
bones. Therefore, to rest these
muscles we place one of them at rest
by throwing one leg to one side, al
lowing the other to do the work. When
one leg has rested sufficiently, it takes
up the strain and the other takes
spell. Nor does it matter how much
we strengthen our leg muscles by
walking or other exercises, the per-
fectly upright position is still hard
one to keep.

FIRST CALLED JESUIT'S BARK
How the Most Valuable Fever Fighter
Came to Receive the Name
Of Quinine.

Spaniards naively named quinine the
feverwood. 1t is the greatest fever
fighter known to modern science and
IS believed to have been discovered
in South America about 1885. 1t was
christened Jesuit's bark by the order,
but its earliest public use was when
the wife of the vicerOy of Peru, the
Countess Chinchon, was cured of an at
tack of fever by the drug.
The notoriety given to this valuable
drug through it's cure of the countess
caused it to be named after its dis
tinguished patient and the bark was
thereafter known as the product of the
cinchOna tree.
This lady brought it to Europe In
1899 and when its value became known
it brought its weight in silver for a
certain period.
The knowledge of its valuable prop
critics was spread throughout Europe
by the Jesuit Brotherhood. Louis XIV
was cured of fever, when Dauphin,
through its administration.
Sixteen hundred and eighty saw 1t
In wide use. The cinchona plant
thrives in India, Jamaica and New
Zealand.

Southern Phrase Explained.

Medicus tells us that it makes him
mad whenever he sees some writer
using the old southern phrase, 'the
spit an image" without showing any
knowledge of what 1t means. Medicus
says that he has even seen it spelled
thus-"The spittin image" So we
have seen in the works of an English
novelist:
Hes the spit and image of his ia
ther, as they say in America"
And an American short-stOry writer
makes a negro character say:
"Yassuh. He's de spittin' image OF
his mar
The phrase was originally "the spirit
and image" explains Medicus. OF
course that means that one person is
both mentally and physically like an
other. Southern people are careless
about their RS, so the phrase became
''the split an image" Thence, of
course, ''the spit an image" and 'the
spittin image" Louisville Courier
Journal.

The Magic Shave.

The man with retreating chin may
;row beard and hide it, or he may
frankly shave the exiguous offender,
careless whether 1t recedes or not. The
utmost candor may be seen in n
Shaven chin and OF all the manly, val
orous qualities that of candor, down
rightness, may be ranked first. The
weakness attributed to n retreating
hin may he cancelled by shaving 1t.
rhe man who accepts his face as ma
ture gave it to him. Drawing 1t to the
world without concealment or decora-
ton, must be clnssed among those with
he manly quality. Cnrtoonists and
novelists have waived the weak chin
20 the limbo of the inefficient and in
ept. Let the man without the master
tul jaw take heart: he has but to
shave to show the qualities Desired
from Atlantic.

The services for the coming week
are as follows:
Sunday at 10 a. M, Sunday school
as usual.
At IL O'Clock morning worship. The
theme Of the sermon will be "The
Victorious Life"

deavor Society meets to consider the
topic: Enthusiasm, It's Value; How
to Cultivate it." under the leadership
of Miss Norma Some. The Bible ref
erence is Isaiah 12:1-16. This is a
timely toric for the summer months
when interest and enthusiasm have
tendency to wane and we look for
large attendance that will take up
the topic in the right spirit and with
an appropriate show of enthusiasm.
Let all Endeavorers come out on
Sunday evening.
At O'Clock we will hold the third
monthly song service CT our summer
series. at which we will take up a
number of the old familiar hymns of
the Christian church. give a brief
sketch Of the life of the author with
some of the circumstances under
which the hymn was written and
then have tie hymn sung either by
the congregation or as a special num-
ber by members Of the choir. This
knowledge about our favorite hymns
gives them new meaning and makes
them live for us In a way that is i'm
possible without 1t. Come out and
join us in this worship in song.
Wednesday evening at 7:15, mid
week prayer meeting as usual.
On Thursday will be our annual
picnic. Automobiles will leave the
church at $3.50 and $3.50 a. m, for
the picnic grounds on Clear Creek
west Of the school house where the
day will be spent playing games. run
ming races and in other forms of re-
creation suitable to all ages. While
this is primarily Sunday school af-
fair we hope to have as many as
J possible OF our church, members come
out with us, old as well as young, to-
gether with the parents of our pu-
pills ard their friends. The children
Of our school will be transported free
Of charge. The fare for adults will
be so cents for the round trip. Shelf.

be provided for and every effort made
to make the day enjoyable for all.

Old Magazines Are Useful.

Have an old magazine handy on the
Kitchen serving table upon which to
place hot or soiled dishes from the
stove. AS the top leaf becomes soiled.
Il Is torn or and burned. Because of
The weight of the magazine. It is often
possible to tear OFF leaf with one
hand while the other hand Is engaged.
This Is easier than scrubbing black and
Greasy rings from the table or having
the white oilcloth Scared by stains
md burns. When the youngsters want
to paste things into their scrapbooks,
give them an old magazine to work on.
As fast as a leaf becomes gummy It
may be torn OF and thrown away, and
a clean one IL always waiting. This
saves the table from becoming sticky
and smeared with paste.
