Beauty. a state Of Health.

While beauty In itself is a state Of
health, IL must be borne In mind that
the normal equilibrium accompanying
this attribute, like that of the balance
wheel Of a finely constructed watch,
Is so delicately adjusted that It Is far
more vulnerable to disturbances of I'M
healthful and pernicious influences
than one with q coarser grained and
less sensitive organization. 1t was by
ignoring this difference in Tranquility
that there arose the belief that the
temperament of beauty manifested an
inherited element of disease and there
after was a forerunner of consump-
ton. And our illustrious ar
lists, although misled by the popular
belief, yet depicted the truth when
they selected their Elaines and other
dying heroines from the delicate type
of beauty.-Dr. Thomas Mays.

zAPATA KEPT HIS PROMISE
Paid Back $4,000 Pesos He Forced
Bankers to Give Him to Feed
Hungry Men.

One morning Emilio Zapata issued
two proclamatiOns. One was a pro-
hibition edict closing the saloons; the
other a command for the bankers OF
the city TO assemble for n conference.
The bankers attended the meeting.
They went in fear, dreading confisca-
ton Of their deposits. Only few
days before the armies of General Car
rama had collected forced loan" Of
ten million pesos from the banks.
What mercy could be expected of the
bandit leader7
Zapatas speech was short and to
the point. "Caballeros," he said, my
men are hungry. / want $4,000 pesos
TO feed them for few days. You will
pay this. l promise you protection.
You may carry on your business with
out molestation as long as you do not
aid the enemy. You may go when you
sign the order for the money" Thank
ful to escape with such modest de-
mand, the bankers did as they were
ordered. Zapata kept his part of the
bargain, and for months the city was
better pollced than It has ever been
since Porfirio Diaz was driven from
Mexico. But this is the strange part
Of the story-strange TO one who
knows the system of confscation
which has bled the business men of
the country. Ten days later Zapata
paid back the $4,000 pesos.
