Eat Loss; Do More.

A fat nation is no good. Lean ma
lions accomplish things. We should
eat less and think more, have smaller
girth and larger chests, less on the hip
and more on the thoraX, have fewer
potatoes at dinner and more books
after dinner. more exercise and less
chewing. A strong person can subsist
on a little oatmeal and philosophy and
outwalk, outtalk outthink, and in ev-
cry way Guido the person who travels
the long route from soup to nuts and
goes to sleep afterward as an anaconda
full of sheep or monkeys might. Life
is lean affair of hungry appetites and
ambitions. Then they stimulate to
earnest performance. The regeneration
of the American nation begins at the
dinner table. We need stoutness In
soul not soutness in fat. Eat less and
do more. Grow more above the neck
and less below the stomach.-Chicago

Mental Twilight.

Mental health passes into mental dis.
ease most commonly in a gradual way,
as light passes into darkness. There
IL a mental twilight. borderland in
which 1t is impossible to say whether
the patient is mentally Ill or not. 1t
is always well for n man who under
goes such changes mentally to consult
his doctor, and it is always well for the
doctor not to make too light Of such a
change. because treatment is usually
far more efrectual in that borderland
stage than it is when the symptoms
have been fully developed. The best
test Of mental health is when a man
feels a conscious sense Of organic well
being, although many persons go
through life with more or less Of a
sense Of i'll being all the time and arc
not on that account to be regarded as
insane.

Movers of labor are almost weeping
real tears to get men to do their work
for them This is pleasant weather to
work in and conditions and hours are
ideal, but work is lying idle while men
who should be working are wearing
out the seats of their pants on the
benches and chairs around town. 1t
will not be long until the first killing
frost comes. shortly after that the
ground will freeze and it will be but
a short time after that until bliZzards
will begin to cavOrt all along the line
from Medicine Hat to Keokuk, About
that time the fuel and food supply will
be running low in the homes Of some
Of the fellows who should now be
working for the high wages they can
get for a short hour day and then they
will be looking around for some kind
hearted coal dealer to sell them coal
ION tick and some easy mark OF
grOcerey man or meat market man to
supply their larder without any cash
returns until work opens up i'll the
spring Maybe they will get credit
and maybe they will not, but they do
not deserve any. Men who will loaf
around town now while wages are high
and work so plentiful are not entitled
to credit when they ask it to supply
their needs when there is no work to
be had. Those who do not lay up
store for winter should not be allowed
to sponge off those who do. 60 to the
ant, thou sluggard,' and stay on the
job as long as there is a job.-Manson

Somehow it came to those attending

Graphjts as a Lubricant.

Graphite, says the Scientific Ameri-
can, is not lubricant, but an aid to
keeping bearing in good working or
der by filling up the minute irregulari-
ties Of the shaft and bearing and pro-
ducing beautiful polished surface
and in this way reduces friction. To
get this result only a very small guam.
tity Of graphite is necessary, and II
too much is applied it simply collects
in wads and defeats the purpose In
tended. 1t follows that the proper way
to use graphite successfully is to mix
thoroughly small quantity with the
lubricating oil at suitable intervals and
not to apply it continuously, for when
the above mentioned polished surface
is formed it will last quite lolng time
before requiring renewal.

MAKE YOUR DOLLARS WORK.
Hoardsd Money Helps No One and
Puts q Brake on Business.

When manufa cturer or other pro-
Queer of real wealth does profitable
business aud turns his profits back
into the business he gives employment
to men and creates more real wealth
as he progresses year by year. He
does more real good for his fellow men
than he would If he gave all his profits
in charity, because it Is better to make
people self supporting and Independent
than it is to give them something for
nothing, no matter" how worthy the
motives may be. 8
When a rich man invests his money
in productive enterprises he performs
an important social service for the
benefit Of his country. Accumulated
capital is always power for good and
accomElishes much good when intelli-
gently handled. When man deposits
his savings in bank his money Is lent
to others who can make good use OF 1t
IN business or it is invested in produc-
tive enterprises or loaned to those VINO
do produce real wealth.
II a depositor takes $1,000 in gold
or its equivalent to bank and depos-
its it that bank can extend credit to
others in five times the amount depos-
tied in actual cash. Many men can
save money who do not know how to
invest it in active business enter
prises. AS far as the common good Is
concerned. it does not matter much
whether the man invests the money
himself or gives it to bank to handle
for him. In the hands Of the bank 1t
will do more work and service for q
greater number Of people
The worst man can do with his
money is to hoard gold or currency re-
deemable in gold. AS far as the COM
munity Is concerned, it would be better

Your VIII 10 Insurance.

In the Woman's Home Companion
Clyde Sent Stillwell says: "A will Is
no more or less than the cheapest and
best form of life insurance. A man
should make 1t out on his wedding
day, even though all his worldly goods
amount to no more than the clothes on
his back. A rich man can afford to
die without will; ,lere will be enough
left of his estate after the lawyers and
courts get done to provide for his fam
lily. But the poor man, the man whose
estate is $4,000 or less, cannot afford
to take that chance. A will to him Is
an Indispensable necessity"

LUCK IN AN AIRPLANE.
Curious Bit Of Good Fortune That
Saved an Army Aviator.

SaVcu an army TS's'
Many an army aviator owes his life
to miraculous good fortune, like the
British airman whose escape is de-
scribed in TALES Of the Flying Scrv.
ices" by G. G. Grey.
An officer went out on bombing ex-
pedition and met German machine.
In order to save weight he had left his
small arms behind him. but he thought
it was q pity to pass by good target.
and so he decided to drop bomb on
him. But dropping a bomb on swift
ly moving Slark is not the same as fir
ing at fixed point SO he missed the
German. Unfortunately for him, he
also exposed himself to the fire OF the
enemy and received rife bullet in the
thigh.
TO be strictly accurate. the bullet
struck his trousers pocket, hit i've
franc piece broke itself and the coin
and distributed the assorted pieces OF
metal about the lower part OF his body.
Feeling that he was badly hit, the
pilot shut off his engine and dived Tor
the ground from height Of about 5000
feet. When he was thousand feet
from the ground he espied some aero
planes in field, and, not knowing
whether he was over German or French
territory, he made up his mind to land
among the aeroplanes, certain that If
they did happen to be German machines
he would be we'll treated by the flying
corps.
Two hundred feet above ground he
completely lost consciousness, but in
some curious subconscious way he made
a perfect landing right alongside of
British motor ambulance. So well did
ne land that for some minutes no one
troubled about him. When they did
go to look they found badly wounded
officer in state Of collapse.
He was promptly put into the ambu-
lance and sent off to the hospital.
There it was found that the bullet had
cut a large artery and that the pilot
would have bled to death in few min
utes if the bullet had not also cut
muscle, which had sprung back and
wrapped itself like a piece of elastic
round the artery and formed, as 1t
were, an automatic tourniQuet.

writer says:
"Fathers must realize. as well as
mothers, that the first five years OF the
child's life are the most important in
the child's development. 1t is then that
he is most formative. most impression
able, 1t is then that he needs most
serious and careful thought from both
parents. And If the child is properly
handled through this period half the
battles Of the future man in the child
are won."
