Prof. Pleas Wesley.

Mr.. Wesley passed State examination
in Casey county, he says-1916. He
paid his poll tax in Adair-1916 l
asked State superintendent permits
sion to take State examination in Rus.
sell Co. His answer:-Sept., 10, 1916.
"You are asking permission to do
thing, that even if the Department
should grant you, would if questioned,
unvalidate your certificate, if you
should receive one. wish this priv
ilege were legal, but is not, as the
law is plain that that you must either
take this examination in the county
of your residence or at the State cap
itol."

ton Mr.. Wesley's certificate on Au

Mystery Of Bird Flight.

A curious fact concerning birds is
that the tip Of the wing moves at prac-
tically the same speed In every species.
This Is $50 feet per minute, or nearly
seven and q half miles per hour.
Whether It Is the tiny wren or the huge
stork, the rule holds good, and even the
bee comeS within 1t. Thus the bee has
a wing oily a quartet OF ali inch' long,
the sparrUw's wing is four inches and
the stork's twenty-seven. But the bees
wing beats 11,4O0 times In minute,
the sparrow's 72O and the stork's only
los times. If you multiply together the
length Of the wing and the number of
beats you will get almost exactly the
same result in the three cases-namely,
stork, 1885; bee, 1850; sparrow, $3.50.
But If ever a machine Is made to fly
like bird it will have to develop far
more energy than these figures stand
for. A birds energy Of fight is not so
great as is supposed. Although such
skillful fliers when aloft, many birds
cannot rise from level ground.-London

The Tobacco Habit.


If man who uses tobacco will give
it up for one day each week he will
keep himself from becoming tobacco
f1end." This is the advice of well
known doctor, who says that quite a
number of men. including himself, have
adopted this plan.
"By leaving off tobacco for one day a
week you give your system time to get
rid Of the effects of the drug" he said.
"You will then enjoy your tobacco far
more, too. because you have become
unaccustomed to the flavor, and it is
therefore more enjoyable when you re
sumo smoking.
1.-THE effect Of tobacco Is a general
sedative action on the nervous system,
which diminisheS the power Of taste
and smell. That is why tea tasters sell
dom or never smoke.
Leave it or for day and the sense
OF taste RECEIVERS. Not only that, but
leaving or tobacco for one day volunta-
rily breaks the tobacco habit, exercises
the self control and prevents one from
becoming a slave to the habit"

Toll of the Garbage Can.

We hear a great deal Of complain
ing, far and near, about the high cost
Of living.
1t has been statistically estimated
that If only one slice of bread was
wasted by one family every day the
aggregate weight Of this wasted bread
would equal 625, 600 pounds and would
cost approximately $4,000.
Just think of that! Forty-five thou
SAND dollars worth Of bread alone vast
ed In one day. And that does not in
clude the other odds and ends that are
daily dumped into the garbage pail.
No woman with an iota Of intelli-
gence and speck Of moral conscience
will waste unnecessarily food Of any
kind.
No matter what her circumstances
may be, whether rich OK poor, she has
absolutely no right to do so.-New

SHAPE OF THE HAND.
The Reason Our Fingers Are Not AZ
of the Same LENGTH,


There Is no known reason why our
fingers should be Of different lengths
today. In fact it is thought by some
people that the hand would be stronger
If the fingers were all Of the same
length, says the Book of Wonders.
Certainly, however, the hands would
not then be so beautiful and might not
be so useful.
The human hand today Is perhaps the
most versatile thing in the world. You
can do more things with the hand than
with any other thing in the world. The
probability is that the shape Of the
hand today and the length of the
fingers are the result of the different
things the human being has called upon
the hand to do during mans develop
ment up to the present time.
We must go back to the time, how
ever, when man walked ON tours, for
that is probably the real explanation
Originally mans fingers were Of diff
ferent lengths because all four footed
animals had the same peculiaritles. The
shape and length Of the toes and their
arrangement were the ideal arrange
ment for giving the proper balance and
support to the body and in moving
about and in climbing produced the
best toe hold.

PAYING. THE DOCTOR.
Should II Be For Curing You or For
Keeping You Well2


We haven't yet learned to take ad-
vantage Of the resources Of civilization
to anything like the extent we might
For instance, we wait until we get
sick, and then we pay the doctor to
help US get WELL 1t would be much
more sensible to pay him to help us
keep from getting sick.
Fantastic idea, you say. Not at all.
1t already is working In a large num-
Der Of college communities, right here
In the state universities Of Missouri
and Kansas, for instance In both in
stitutions the pupil is charged a fee
which is applied to safeguarding his
health. In the University of Missouri
the plan is still further developed so
that the fee covers medical and sur
gical attendance. The health work in
both schools is so interesting, not only
for what 1t Is doing for the pupils, but
for the example it is setting other COM
munities, that it is only right and
proper to call attention to it.
The important point Is that these uni
versities and other schools are proving
that health can be made much more Of
a community matter than had been
supposed and that the wise thing to do
Is for groups to pay medical men to
keep them well.-Kansas City Star.
