Linnor Habit Expensive,

Reduced output, spoiled work and
increased cost" are the reasons that
were presented to the excise commits
sion of Burlington, on Wednesday
night, by the United States Cast Iron
Pipe and Foundry Company in its
protest against the relicensingof whole
sale and retail liquor establishments.
The foundry company is the largest
industrial concern in Burlington.
The company presented figures to
show that the average loss of wages,
during the past eleven months, has
been $3.50 for each employe who drinks.
The manner in which the United
States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry
Company obtained its information as
to the effect of drinking upon its en-
pioyes was outlined by representa-
tive of the company, who appeared
before the commission. One hundred
men at the East Burlington plant were
secretly chosen at the first Of the year,
fifty of them average drinkers, and
fifty abstainers, and their records care
fully tabulated. These records show
that the fifty drinkers in the first
eleven months lost total of 4156 days.
an average of eight days per month,
with a resultant wage loss per man OF
$3.50. The loss of time among the alb
stainers averaged less than one day pei
month.
| Churches, Sunday schools, mems
Bible classes and many individual
"drys" also filed protests against con
tinuing twenty licensed places in 8
city of 10000 population.
The members of the excise commits
sion are George A. Allinson, Cooper
H. Prickett and George w. Anthony
The commissioners took no action
but postponed the disposal of the ap-
plications until Friday night, when Is
licenses wer granted and two refused
Joseph Brotz and Benjamin Estilov
without giving any reasons for the
refusal. The sum of $100 was added
to the fee of the favored 18, making
the retail rate $500 and the wholesale
rate $3.50.
In statement published by the Elk,
lcise Commission the members say they
are gin no way responsible for the
legacy which they have inherited
The statement intimates that severa
places are given another years lease
i of life in order that those whose "pe.
cuniary interests are involved" may
have chance to protect themselves
from financial loss before their places
are closed year hence. The commits
sion says it will enforce all laws anc
ordinances to the extent of revokine
licenses of violators.

An Ancient Work on Annlinn.

The greatest work of antiquity or
angling is the "Halieutica" of Orphan
Greek poet who hourished in the
time of Severus, A. D. 1893, from which
we learn that many articles in fishing
thought to be modern were known to
ancients.
we also learn from Atheneus that
several other writers had written on
fishing some centuries before the Chris
tian era.

GROWTH OF THE BODY.
|, IL Comes In Alternate Periods of Filling
and Stretching.


and Stretching.
That men and women grow In height
and weight from birth until maturity,
if they live the ordinary term Of years,
and that, as a rule, men are taller
than women are facts Of common
knowledge. How this growth is ac-
complished is not so generally known
nor is it commonly understood that the
difference In length of the male and
female of the species is apparent even
at birth. Carefully kept records show
that the average boy baby is about
two-fifths Of an inch longer at birth
than is the average baby girl.
Another curious feature of this
growth discovered by patient research
is the fact that it is not a gradual and
regular increase. There are periods in
which the youthful body expands rap
idly In length, while it seems to be-
come thin and lean.
Then comes a time where there ts
little increase In height, but the body
becomes plump. While there is
l DI1EnL OlACAClCC VI OPAuACA 10 ~ S>@~
exact number of years and ages when
| these alternate growths are In evt
| dence, the general proposition is con
ceded by the most thorough Of the In
vestigators.
Professor Strait tabulates this growth
Of the body as follows: Period OF tht
first fullness Of body, two to nv'
years; period of first stretching, six Il
eight years; period Of second fuliness
nine to eleven years; period OF secont
stretching, twelve to sixteen years; pc
riod of maturing, seventeen to twenty
five years.
Professor Weissenberg, however, di
vtdes the time of growth somewha
differently and makes allowance TO
difference between the periods o
change in girls and boys
His tabuhtion is as follows: Periot
of first fullness, two to four years
period of first stretching, five to si1
years; period of retarded growth, boy
eight to twelve years, girls eight t
ten years; period of second stretching
boys thirteen to eighteen years. girl
I
eleven to fifteen years; periods Of re
tarded growth, boys nineteen to twen
ty-six years, girls sixteen to ninetee
years; period of standing still and o
the second fullness, twenty-six o
twenty-nine to fifty-one years; perio
: Of decline, fifty-two to seventy-si
years.
Among other interesting features G
this growth, it is noted that the change
are not constant within the limits Of
year, but appear to depend upon til
season.
1t has been found that increases
height and girth Of chest are greater
summer than in winter. 1t would seel
that the greatest gains in weight al
> made from August to January, th
weight remaining almost constant frol
February to May.
OF course there are many specii
causes which in individual cases MAX
exceptions to these rules, but undt
normal conditions this is the way OF
bodies grow from babyhood to nj
turity.-New York American.
