At a golden wedding recently an en-
'tertainment was given to the surround

the close of the proceedings the host
rose and relieved his feelings in an
eloquent speech.

House Files short-Lived.

The average life of 5000 Gagged house
flies has been found by r. III. Hutchin-
son and others to be slightly more than
ten days, the greatest age noted having
been seventy days. Egg laying usually
begins in four or five days after the
emergence of the adult fly, but some
time in two and one-half days. This
period is greatly influenced by temper
ature, but also by humidity and the
kind and quality of the food of both
larvae and adults.

Carlyle relates that during the
French revolution business was never
so good. After the people had en-
joyed witnessing the decapitation of
priests and mobiles by the guillotine at
the Place de la Revolution, they went
to the theater or the circus, and the
profits of the Paris shOpkeepers were
never larger than on the day when the
head of Louis Capet tumbled into the
sawdust basket.-Los Angeles Times.

Cross Andes In Balloon.

The mighty Andean mountain range
OF South America, the highest in the
western hemisphere, has just been
crossed by aeronauts for the first time.
The feat was accomplished by two men
in a balloon. The aeronauts left San
tiago, Chile, on the Pacific side, and
descended five hours later in Mendoza,
on the eastern slope of the range, in
the Argentine Republic. They report
very difficult trip, and had to rise
to "a great height to catch favorable
air current. So far the Andes have
not been crossed by airplane.

Beware Nap After Dinner.

Cotton, a French physician, has dis
covered that the desire of many people
to go quickly to sleep after eating is
likely to indicate indigestion and dys-
pepsia. He cites a number of cases
in which people have been seized by
an III 2onquerable desire to sleep even
after a light meal. Thin people are
much more likely to hunt sofa after
dinner than fat people, since their
thinness is likely to indicate improper
digestion, which also makes them
sleepy.

THROWING OF RICE wASTEFUL
CUSTOM
Three Pounds of Rice Equivalent to
Daily Ration of Soldier

During the summer season there are
usually a good many weddings, and
at nearly all of these is the inevitable
rice throwing. 1t is unnecessary, to
say the least, and if one stops to con-
slider the probable amount thus wasted
in the entire United States each year,
one is the more impressed with the
absurdity CT the custom. At sho pres
ent time, when the whole country is
aroused to the need of food production
and food conservation, the throwing of
rice at weddings is a matter fer the
attention of those who arc trying 10
solve. the food problem. Rice has a
fuel value of 1880 large Galleries per
pound, as compared with 1906 cal
orics from white bread, 1866 from
corn meal and 325 from potatoes. Th2
U. S. soldiers food ration is bout
4200 calories per day. In throwing
away pounds of rice, tAe-e ~ waSt-
