Scientific LiUinQ

First of all. before, we can achieve any
thing, we must be good animals. To be
good human animal does not mean to be
moral brute. but to have a good stomach to
support your brain and muscles just as does
a horse. and just as a horseess vehicle has
good carbureter.
A horse knows what to eat Turn him
loose and he will select the kinds of grasses
and twigs that are good for him. He has an
instinct-a horse sense"--that serves him
as unerrng guide in the selection Of his
food.
Man has lost his horse sense" He has so
long abused his sense of taste that 1t Is no
longer safe guide, and having no instinct
to guide him man undertakes to eat every
thing that any animal eats. In consequence,
dyspepsia is universal. a man who eats
trouble as man who feeds tar. instead of
gasoline. to his automobile. His engine

Repairs are not possible so long as the

surgery may afford temporary relief but

wye AIM to conduct our business on cor
Wrect scientific principles.
We run our automobiles scientifically.
We buy the best gasoline; we keep our
machines properly oiled and good sup
ply of water in the radiator. We don't
try to make an automobile do the work of
n coal cart or n threshng machine. A
man who owns fine car takes good care
of II. hires an expert chauffeur to run 1t,
and an expert machinist to look It over
now and then TO make sure that 1t isn't
getting loose in the joints or losing its
efficiency.
We feed our horses. cows, pigs. chickens
and poodle dogs scientifically. Why not
treat ourselves as well? Because we don't
know how. We have found out by study
observation and laboratory research what
is good for domestic animals and automo-
biles; but ourselves we have neglected to
: udy.
The president of State dairymens as
sociation said to the writer the other day,
"I know all about how to feed cows so as
to make them give the most milk and
how to feed horses so as to get the most
work out of them. but I confess / don't
know a thing about how to feed myself
or my children"
This man, a scientific dairyman, owns one
of the finest herds in his State and can
speak with intelligence and authority on
any question pertaining to the dairy busi-
ness; but, concerning the Science of hu-
man life" he confesses lamentable igno-
rance. And this is true of the average man.
We have been so busy cultivating thrift
and efficiency in business and in trying to
find out what is inside the earth and why
the people of Mars are digging canals, ana
how fast the stars are travelling and how TO
get on in the world and how to climb a
notch higher in civilization and culture
that we have forgotten to look after our
most important personal interests.

BLACK PEARL OF BRISBANE.
Giant Jewel Seems to Exude an Air
of Unfathomable Mystery, Writes
a Correspondent.

A certain air of mystery seems to
attach to a black pearl, as much from
its rarity as from any other reason.
"There is at present in Brisbane"
writes a correspondent from that
Queensland city, "a very fine specimen
of black pearl, which has been brought
from the northern pearling grounds of
the state by the owner, who is also
the owner of large pearling fleet. 1t
is spherical in shape and jet black in
color, and it seems TO exude an air of
unfathomable mystery. One felt when
looking at it that it should form the
pivotal point of some great tragedy, a
thing which should be the basis of a
cycle of weird events, involving the.
lives and happiness of men and wom-
en-. The notorious Hope diamond must
have inspired somewhat similar feel
ings.
$50 far this black gem has had a
very unerentful career since its dis
covery in the shell of the oyster re-.
sponsible for its production. How
ever, 1t has long time ahead of 1t If
1t is anxious to live In history. The
probability is that it win ultimately
find its way to the collection of some
enthusiast on the lookout for curios Of
great value"

WORTH OF A SIMPLE RULE
Value Demonstrated by Novels He.
roine Who Believed No Situation
Justified a Wrong Deed.

The heroine of novel of more than
usual interest, by adhering persistent
by to maxim, saves several persons
from the consequences of their weak
nesses and brings them TO her own
point of view In a truly astonishing
way. The nub of her philosophy is
that if you do right, only good will
come of 1t and she proceeds from
the first chapter to work practical
proof of 1t among a circle of people
bent on INDUCING their own wills and
whims rather than doing right.
Some simple rule Of conduct is n
convenience for everybody, says the
Pittsburgh Gazette-Times. 1t may
easily become a personal motto and
living up to 1t Il fetish. That was the
case with the heroine of fiction; do
ing right was almost an obsession with
her, but for all that she was by no
means dull and the opposite of In
sipid. She believed no situation justi-
fled wrong deed and none was SO
bad that q good one couldn't improve
1t, so she persisted in doing right when
everybody else in the book-save one,
of course-seemed determined to do
wrong. But she proved the worth of
a simple rule In governing daily con-
tact with people.

BRANDON MURDER CASE
SEEMS A DEAD ISSUE
Excitement Over Tragedy Has Entirely
Abated-Detectives Have Not
Made Final Report.

II would seem that the Brandon
murder mystery is now practically a
closed issue as far as the county au-
thorities are concerned.
The corps Of Baltimore city detec-
tives who were here working on the
case to determine how Mrs. Lottie-
May Brandon, the young wife of Val
entine N. Brandon was killed in her
home on Second street some time on
the morning of August s, last, left
the city about ten days ago. They
have not filed final report of the re-
suit of their Investigate with the
county officials. WhetheI or not the
coroner's inquest which was detailed
on the day of discovery of the crime
will be called to meet again is not
known.
The detectives, it is stated, appear
to be convinced that the negro John
Snowden, who has been confined to the
Baltimore city jail since his arrest in
this city few days after the tragedy,
is the guilty man, though it is under
stood that the evidence which they
have woven about him is purely of a
circumstantial character Snowden
still stoutly maintains his innocence of
any connection with the affair and ne
has been severely grilled on numerous
occasions.

President Greets His
Comrades of New Army

Soldiers of the National Army were
welcomed into the nations service
Monday by President Wilson with a
message of affectionate confidence
and a prayer to God to keep and
guide them Everything these young
men do, the President told them, will
be watched with the deepest solicit
tude by the whole country, and the
eyes of the country will be upon them,
because they are Sin some special
sense the soldiers of freedom"
The first soldiers for the army
raised under the draft law start from
their homes for the training canton
ments today The President asked
them as brothers and comrades in the
great war to keep straight and fit by
a standard so high that living up to
it will add a new laurel to the crown
of America.
The message follows:
.The White House, Washington.
ITO the Soldiers of the
National Army:
You are undertaking a great duty
The heart of the whole country is
with you Everything that you do
will be watched with the deepest in
terest and with the deepest solicitude,
not only by those who are near and
dear to you, but by the whole nation
besides. For this great war draws us
all together, makes us comrades and
brothers, as all true Americans felt
themselves to be when we first made
good our national independence The
eyes of all the world will be upon you,
because you are in some special sense
the soldiers of freedom. Let it be
your pride, therefore, to show all men
everywhere not only what good sol
diers you are, but also what good men
you are, keeping yourselves fit and
straight in everything, and pure and
clean through and through. Let us
set for ourselves a standard so high
that it will be a glory to live up to it
and then let US live up to it and add
a new laurel TO the crown of America.
My affectionate confidence goes with
you in every battle and every test.
God keep and guide you,
