If Too Fat
Get Fresh Air
How You May Reduce a Pound
Daily and Improve Health
Amazingly.

Lack OF fresh air, 1t is said. weakens
the oxygen carrying power OF the
blood. the liver becomes sluggish, fat
accumulates, the heart action becomes
weak. work is an effort and the beauty
of the figure is destroyed.
Fat put on by indoor life is un-
healthy and. If nature is not assisted
in throwing it off. serious case of
obesity may result.
Don't wait until your health is ruined
thru carrying around burden OF
unsightly and unhealthy fat.
Spend some time daily in the open
air; breathe deeply, and get from any
druggist n box of oil of korein cap
sules; take one after each meal and
one before retiring at night, also fol-
lowing the other simple directions
that come with the box.
Weigh yourself every few days and
keep up the treatment until you are
down to normal Oil OF korein IS
absolutely harmless, Is pleasant to
take, helps the digestion. and even a
few days treatment is likely to show
n noticeable reduction In weight.
This system has succeeded when other
remedies, etc. have failed. 1t is the
delight of those who wish to inn
prove their figure and acquire younger
appearance.-Adv

carried down under the ice.
The two men had evidently made
for the Whedon cabin, a resort known
to both. and their trail Indicated they
had missed the fence by four ieet.
Sutton is supposed to have given out,

Modern Idea of crea 1nsss.

When we ask what 1t is that we mod. erns deem to constitute greatness among the men of our own or com. paratively recent time, we feel that the standard has somewhat changed. says James Bryce in the Youths Com. panion. We set less store by monarchs. for they do not fill the stage of the world as they once did, although some of them have still large opportunities for doing good or harm. Neither do we give quite such special honor to mili- tary glory as former ages did. Never theless, the essential qualities that daz- gle the eyes of man may be still the same. I speak chiefly of the greatness that consists in action, for the ruler. the statesman and the warrior do their work In the sight of the world and can be judged by 1t, whereas the poet or the philosopher may have long to wait for recognition, and even a su- preme scientific discovery may not be appreciated until long years have been Gpent In working out its applications

rurkish TovvsIs.

Turkey exports more towels than any other country, which is largely be- cause the average Turk has no use for Q towel himself. When tho first Turk made towel he couldn't imagine what to do with 1t. 90 he sold 1t to tourist and in this way the Turkish towel in. dustry arose. A Turk has no patience with a towel. As soon as he makes one le wants to have 1t out of his sight. He doesn't mind Turkish rugs, and he will even smoke a Turkish cigarette, but a Turkish towel gets him going. The leading feature of Turk. lsh towel is that you can dry yourself on both aides. which makes 1t of spe- cial value. Operating Turkish towel b quite knack and most people de- velop their own style of play. A man can get more vigorous exercise after . morning bath in drying his back with . Turkish towel than in hustling trunks. The only objectionrto Turkish towels as an exercise is that 1t doesn't gst you out In tie open air.--11linois Gtats Rsgistss.

Historic Cabin John Bridge.

Cabin John bridge is a masonry bridge in the Glen Echo suburbs of Washington, which crosses the deep valley of a shallow stream known as Cabin John Run not far from it's con- duence with the Potomac. The bridge was built in the fifties to carry the conduit which supplies the water for the capital and was for many years the longest single span of masonry in tie world. It's architect and builder was Montgomery c. Meigs, later quar. termaster general of the army, and it was erected under direction of the war department. A tablet in one spandrel gives the usual information as to date of completion of the bridge and the names of those concerned in its struc- ture. among them that of the secretary Of war. But as the late secretary of war, Jefferson Davis, was in 1881. when the bridge was completed. en- gagged upon the other side it was deemed preferable not to carry his name upon the bridge and blank bfi- let was left in the stone above the ofacial title.

orlaIn of Health Drinking.

The custom of drinking the health of the most popular man at the table has it's foundation in the ancient prac' tice originated by the Greeks and adopted by the Romans of drinking 10 the gods and the dead. observes an exchange. The Greeks and Romans later began the practice of drinking to each other, and from this arose the custom of toasting living men. But health drinking in it's modern form. originating in England in the royster' ing days of Charles II. begins with the custom oe drinking to the ladies or to any woman who happened to be the reigning belle of the court. Many and various were the quaint cnstoms asso' ciated with the toasts of those days. For example, in certain companies of military officers etiquette demanded that the cup shoufd be passed from hand to hand. In many midnight gatherings of Alsatia, gallants stabbed themselves in the arms in order oc drink with their blood the health or the woman on whom their hearts were set.

CANADA ENDS s..r.
 HOT CAMPAIGN

: Ottawa, Ont, Dec. 15.-The elect ors throughout Canada on Monday will express their political prefer ences and on their verdict depends the fate of the unionist government, which was formed by Premier Bor- den last October to meet the condi- tions arising from the war. The cleo tion will decie whether Sir Robert L. Borden shall be granted new lease of power. or supplanted by the liberal opposition under the leader ship. of the veteran Sir Wilfrid Lau. Tier. victory for the present re- gime will probably result in Sir Will frld Laurier's permanent retirement rom public life. It will also mean ] the speeding up of the conscripiion machinery and other war measures In Canada.
 The campaign which closes today mas been hotly contested in all !he provinces, and although conditions in western Canada, the Maritime prov inces and certain other sections of the dominion are believed to strongly 1avor the Borden administration, the results; cannot be accurately fore Casted.
