England was decided by tie lord Chief

English lady named Ruby Hood. After
solne time they separated, and the lady
lived apart from her husband. The
latter then began proceedings and Oh,

jugal rights. but this was not complied
with, and proceedings for divorce were
then begun by the wife, but We're dis

enable him to marry again. This was
refused, and the lord chief Justice sit

Effect Of Auto on Agriculture.

Every time an automobile displaces
4 horse five acres Of land are added to
the agricultural area Of the country.
Among the economic Influences of the
motor car, this is II phase that is
commonly overlooked. There are
about y ,OOO, 600 horses in the United
States and each horse consumes six to
seven tons of food a year. 1t is easily
figured that an average of five acres
is required to furnish food for each
horse. This means a total Of 100000
600 acres of land devoted to pastures
and raising hay-over 100000 square
miles. This means land nearly five times
as big as Ohio, or an area larger than
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, de-
voted to feeding horses instead of peo-
pie. OF course, the releasing of all
this area from pasture uses and max
ing it available for the support Of pop
ulation will be a tremendous economic
gain.

MUSIC WILL HELP INVALID
Physicians Are Beginning TO Believe
More and More in the Good Effects
OF Sweet Strains.

During the thirteenth century, when
The Arabs dominated a large portion
OF Europe and were carrying the
torch OF learning" through that period,
they established great hospitals for
the treatment Of all kinds Of ailments.
A striking feature Of some of these
hospitals was d music room, where
musicians played continuously through
out the 81 hours FOR the benefit Of the
patients. The Arab physicians of that
day believed that music had q very
positive therapeutic effect.
Recently an analysis of the effects
Of various types Of music has been
made by DR.. Thomas J. Mays, which
may be epitomized rs follows: Ma
jor music is a tonic to the emotions
which may be compared TO a stimulant
dose CT strychnine or quininc, while
minor music dcprcSseS emotional nc-
tivity in q manner comparable to bro
midc or a sleeping potion. The APP
| parent objections to this theory are
| easily met; and Doctor Mays believes
that music as an agent in tie treat
ment Of consumption has proaahiF q
stronger claim on the scientific attcn-
ton Of the medical profession than
many of the remedies that are in use
at the present time. Keeping in mind
the undercurrent Of tlibu'ation and
oppression that is nearly always pres
ent in the minds of those suffering
| from consumption, it would seem prob
able that by far the larger number Of
cases would receive benefit from vari-
rus forms Of major music. and the
same would be true of any form Of
chronic disease.
For stages of high mental Or nerv-
Il tension, minor music IS indicated.
And in this connection it is significant
tlat music has been one Of the tiera-
peutic measures used III ail "a great

SHED TO STORE THE MANURE
Loss by Leaching When opposed in
Winter Amounts to Considerable
Sum-keep it Covered.

Chemical analysis made during five
years at the Ohio experiment station
show that bariiyard manure ioses about
nne-half its potassium, one-tilird its
nitrogen and one-fourtli its phosphorus
when exposed to the weather for three
winter months.
At prices prevailing before the Eu-
ropean war the fertility constituents
in Il ton of manure would be worth
about s.. The loss by teaching three
months would then amount to about so
cents. At the present cost Of potash
the loss would be nearly 50 from this
material alone. A shed to store the

Our calendar is a method of dis tributing time into certain periods adapted to the purposes of civil life. We recognize natural and artificial divisions of time. The solar day, the solar year and the lunar month arc called natural. and all others as the hour. the week and the civil month, though of the most ancient and gen. eral use. are only arbitrary and con- ventional.
 The true solar day Is the interval of time which elapses between two consecutive returns of the same ter restrial meridian 10 the sun. It is not always of the same absoltue length but for all practical purposes mean solar day is employed and differs from the true solar day in such small de- gree as to escape ordinary observa- ticn.
 Our week Is a period Of seven day5 having no relation to the celestial bodies and for this reason Is abso- lutely uniform. The names of the days In use by us are English pnd were derived from the Saxon. The Saxon forms were adapted from the Latin. The Roman named their days !n honor of planets and gods and when when the Saxons borrowed the weok they substituted their own names for these planets and gods. Thus orr Sunday was dies Soils h Latin md Suns day in Saxon. Our Monday was Moons day in Saxon: Tuesday was Tiw's day in Saxon and dies Mnrtis in Latin; Wednesday was Woden's day in Saxon: Thursday was Thor's day: Friday was Friga's. day and Saturday was Seterae's day.
 The month was for long time q stumbling block to the ancients. The lunar month Is about 29 1-2 dave in
