this gas would seem to get over my

In an ancient Samaritan synagogue
at Shechem n double roll Of parchment
Is guarded Jealously and is zealously
preserved. 1t was to Shechem thar
Abraham came in his first visit to
Canaan. Near Shechem Jacob sank
his famous well, and the returning
Israelltes heard here for the last time
the voice of JoshJf1. Shechem was the
first residence Of the kings Of Israel
and was a city of the kings Of Israel
and was a city Of refuge. Here at
Jacobs well Jesus met the woman Of
Samnria. Here the great Justin
martyr was born. After the division
Of Israel into two kingdoms Shechem
became the religious center Of the
northern Kingdom, and Jeroboam's
self-appOlnted faith degenerated into
the Samaritan worship of our Lords
day, which is perpetuated in the old
synagogue which holds this scroll. This
double roll Of parchment, possibly the
oldest in the world, contains the first
five books Of the Old Testament and
may be as old as the days of jeremiah.

DAYS ARE GROWING LONGER
Scientists Say 1t Takes World Three
Seconds Longer to Turn over Than
II Did 100 Years Ago.

Our earth appears to be slowing
down its spin. Two British astrono-
mers who have just finished long
study of the matter report that it
now takes almost exactly three sec
onds longer for the world to turn
over once than it took 100 years ago,
and, century hence, still another
three seconds will have been added to
the day.
At this rate, Shakespeare had near
ly ten seconds less in his "a hours
than has modern dramatist, says
Saint Nicholas. william the Conqueror
was handicapped "A half minute in
keeping up with his descendants. Ju-
llus Caesar was whole minute to the
bad; while even II he had lived to old
age, his life would still have been
some twenty Of our days short Of what
his biographers would have claimed for
him.
Abraham and the early Pharaohs
would have been still more pressed
for time. The earliest men, say in the
year 100000 b. c., would have had no
use for How long to live on "a hours
n day, for they had only "a hours to
do their living In and were really only
seventy-six years old when they
thought they had reached fourscore.

WHEN A COLD is NOT A COLD
II It Lasts Longer Than Three Days
It Is a Nasal Sinusitis," De-
clares Physician.

"A cold in the head which lasts
longer than three days is no longer
such, but "a nasal sinusitis," said Dr.
John ]. Hurley Of Boston in an address
reported In the Medical Record
Doctor Hurley was arguing that
grippe and influenza We're nothing
but an Inflammation of the sinuses Of
the face, that labyrinth of the passages
In the bones of the nose, cheeks and
forehead which empty into the nose or
pharynN. After comparing all the
classic symptoms of influenza as de-
scribed In the textbooks with those of
sinusius and pointing out their simi-
larity if not Identity. he called "inhu.
enza' and grippe" the "alibis of ig-
norance."
The tlamiliar Influenza bacillus dis
covered by Pfeifer is found in many
hut by no means all cases of so-called
grippe. 1t has u special affinity for the
sinuses Of the nose. But there are
many other bacilli-all of the pus-
forming kinds-that produce the same
effects.
Sinusis is nothing but the formation
of an abscess in the sinuses. The pa
uent needs no drugs; what he needs is
to have the sinuses empued. This is
easy in nearly all cases; a specialist
can open the swollen passages with a
cotton pledget on the tip of a bougie
and generally nothing more is needed
than the touching of the passages with
nitrate Of silver. Once they begin to
discharge their pus freely the cure is
rapid. Cases in which an operation is
necessary are the rare exception.

remorseful young husband, who after
restoring pence and harmony, gave
one rueful glance at the collection Of

Annabel had really given her hus-

lcctably cheap things for her darling

But the underwear was two sizes too
small, and the kind he never wore. He
nbhorrcd green socks, and that color
in ties was frightfully unbecoming to
him.
Mrs. Harte put away the offending
purchases, and concluded Harry was
just n bit out of humor.
The next time she struck n bargain
counter OF mems furnishings, she
couldn't resist buying something more
for Harry. This time she knew he
would be pleased. But he wasn't. He
gently but firmly tried to make her
promise not to do It any more.

1t will soon be time for City cleo

usual fight, and have but one ticket
in the field, it would be good idea.

TIE HANDLING OF FooDsruFFs

etc, they probably would not make
much out of the venture, but they
would give two men each employ
ment during the summer and autumn
Also, they would add the products of
a thousand acres to next winters
food supply.
This is but preliminary to saying
that the handling of the land in
agricultural states should be done by
their own citizens, and the federal
government should be relieved of
that added anxiety. The present trou-
BILE, the congestion in the cities,
the rioting of the very poor because

prices charged, the anxiety and heart
burning everywhere-it is all plain
TO see is due to want of organization
and detective and complicated hand
ling OF business which, though gil
gantic in the aggregate, could be
reduced 10 simple rules which could
be carried out without friction or
distress.
II seems to us that every state
ought to have secretary of agr5cul-
ture of its own, This officer should
be man of details. He should know
the amount of food needed in that
state, the acreage planted, and to-
what; SC that before harvest he
would know what amount was need
ed at home and what amount could
be exported. He should work. in ac-
cord with the government, and the
governor should have authority to-
see that lands capable OF cultivation,
but lying idle. should be cultivated.
Moreover, the governor should have
the authority to put an embargo on
products, If necessary, to insure the
citizens Of the state against pos
sible scarcity Of foodstuffs.
This secretary of agriculture should
be an accomplished farmer. so that
he could act as a teacher ex-officio
to the farmers generally throughout
the state. He should be familiar. too,
with the Transportation service az
forded the agricultural sections, in
order that the farmers might be able
to utilize it to the best ADVANTAGE.
He should also advise the secretary
OF agriculture at Washington as to-
crop conditions here; and be able to
approximate what perez ntage would
be required for home consumption,
and what would be available for ex-
port trade with the other states and
the world at large.
The foregoing is crude outline of
what might be done in this direction.
