WONDERS OF HUMAN BODY
Exercised Daily to Keep One in
the Best Condition.

There are said to be more than g.
100000 little openings in the skins of
our bodies to serve as outlets for an
equal number of sweat glands. The
body contains more than 200 bones.
It is said that as much blood as is in
the entire body passes through the
heart every minute, i. e., all the blood
in the body goes in and out of the
heart once every minute. The lung
capacity of the average person is
about 325 cubic inches, the Book of
Wonders instructs us.
With every breath you inhale about
two-thirds of pint of fresh air and
exhale an equal anieant if you breathe
normally.
The stomach Of the average adult
person has a capacity of about live
pints and manufacturers about nine
pounds of gastric juice daily.
There are over 500 muscles in the
body all of which should be exercised
daily to keep you in the best condi-
ton. The average adult human heart
weighs from eight to twelve ounces
and it beats about 100000 times every
"a hours.

Greed of Gain.

Visitors to the ancient abbey at Dun
fermline, Scotland, will recall a curl
Gus optical delusion. Standing at a
certain point, several Of the carved pill
lars in the nave appear to slant, while
in truth, they are perfectly perpen-
dicular.
There are many things which prevent
people from seeing straight in matters
of right and duty. Of these none is
more common than the love of money.
The silversmiths of Ephesus, who
stirred up a riot against Paul because
his preaching interfered with their
profits, have always had many follow
ers in every land. Let the greed of
gain root itself in the heart, and it
gives such twist to the whole nature
that nothing can be seen at it's right
angle.-Exchange

Growth Of Filtration System.

It is an interesting fact that very
large number Of cities which formerly
used water without publication now
have waterworks filtration plants. In
1900, less than 100000 people were
using filtered water; in 1910, approx
mately 100000 were using it, while
at the present date about 100000 are
served by filtration plants. In 1900 so
cities were using filtered water, and in
1917 there were ISL cities that sup
piled it, truly a remarkable increase.
Reliable data pertaining to typhoid fe-
yer show that the death rate has de-
creased at about the same proportion
as filtered water has increased. This
alone is sufficient reason for the rapid
adoption Of filtration plants by 2lunic-
ipalities.-From The American City

PICTURESQUE SHELL OF CITY
Capital of Portuguese East Africa
Looks Imposing From Sea Front
but Is Empty and Silent.

Mozambique capital of Portuguese
East Africa, is a picturesque shell Of
a city, nothing more. It rises grand
and imposing from the sea front, with
it's great blocks of old-time Portuguese
and Arab fortresses, built when the
slave trade flourished, but its broad
streets are curiously empty and silent.
It is like a deserted city, clean and
cOlorful and beautiful, but lacking in
sound and life.
There are no wheeled vehicles in
Mozambique, except one lone cart on
two wheels that serves as a city scav-
enging department, creeping about the
streets picking up rubbish, drawn by q
bullock with immense white horns ris-
ing straight up like the horns of a
goat. Except for this curious equipage
and few rickshaws, the only sign of
traffic is the dust stirred up by the
SOundleSs bare feet Of the negroes.
The heavy shutters on the big white
houses are tight closed. The long days
heat keeps the whole European popula-
ton indoors from sunrise to sunset
Enormous palms wave their leafy
fronds under the blue sky; the blue
waves of the Passage beat into white
foam on the sands; the bright pinks
and yellOws and blues of the houses
have faded with time into the soft
blending tints of an old painting
Everywhere there is beauty of color
and line and an uncanny silence.

LICENSE SYSTEM
BENEFIT PUBLIC
(By United Press.)

Raleigh, Nov. 13.-State Food
Administrator Henry A. Page has
Just returned from Washington
where he attended an important
conference Of State Representa-
tives of the Food Administration
with Mr.. Hoover, the conference
being for the purpose Of discuss
ing at length the details OF the
operation Of the license system
as applied to dealers in food
stuffs.
All of the rules and regulations
under which licensees will oper-
ate have been worked out and Mr..
Page announces that he will meet
the wholesalers, brokers, and COM
mission men Of the State in a con-
ference in Raleigh, Thursday,
Nov. 18th, at noon in the Senate
Chamber at the Capital. No COM
munication is being addressed to
the individual dealers, but all are
invited to attend this conference.
A similar conference for the re-
tail grocers Of the State is an
nounced for noon Monday, Nov.
10Th, at the same place. Only
those retailers doing business Of
100000 or more a year are sub
ject to license, but all Of them are
subject to the provisions Of the
Food Control Law and all are in
vited to attend the conference on
Monday.
The operation of the License
System will impose a tremendous
amount Of work and authority
upon the Food Administration
and already the office is being or
gained for its increased respon-
sibility and work.
Mr.. Page declares that there is
no consumer in the State who will
not be benefited by the operation
OF the license system and that the
producers Of the foodstuffs will
also be benefited. Likewise th5
dealers themselves have nothing
to fear, the big purpose being tc
stabilize prices, and eliminate
speculative profits and injurious
trade practices.
The conferences here the 18th
and 10Th will no doubt result in {
much clearer conception Of thu
Food Administrations purpos,
and plans upon the part of tn.
dealers.

The Different Viewpoint.

Every parent has sweet hallucina-
tion-that isn't quite the right word
fancy, maybe is better-that the SIS
goldpiece given to Sonnyboy on his
birthday will not be spent, but will be
treasured for years, as a memento of
his twelfth birthday, rather than as a
piece of legal tender with so much buy
ing power. It's all founded on a diff
ference between the point Of view of a
parent and that Of boy. To the pa
rent it seems that nothing could serve
as memento better than a SIS gold
piece. To the boy, however, it occurs
that a tennis racquet, a new pocket
knife and the balance in licorice will
do just as well.-Kansas City Star.

Atlanta, Ga. DR.. Jacobson said in a
recent interview that 80 per cent Of en-
emia comes from nervous breakdown
which can only be corrected by supply
ing the necessary phosphates to the
nervous system that is lacking in the
food you eat, and this can be quickly
supplied by taking one or two S grain
Argo-Phosphate tablets after each meal
and at bed time. It will in many cases
make a pale scrawny face the picture
of health in few days. I have seen
women that expected would have to
be kept under treatment for months

DRAFT DRAWINGS !
At WASHINGTON

Washington. D. C.-Detailed regula-
tons for drafting the new national
army now awaiting President Wilson's
approval, contain provision for every
step In the great undertaking except
the actual method Of the draft itself.
No Official announcement has been
made and Official confirmation is be-
ing withheld. but it has been stated
and generally is accepted here as true
that the federal government itself will
do tho drafting. probably here In
Washington, so there will be no op-
portunity for local favoFites, political
or Otherwise.
Then the question Of exemptions
will come up and this will go before
the local boards. If man is exempt
ed the man bearing the number which
was drawn next in order will take his
place and so on.
In this way all those available for
service out of the 100000 who reg
istered will be made ready for the
country's call and from them the first
increment of $4,000 will be assem-
bled. The others will be called as
the need develops as the war goes on.

May OVERTHROW
SPANISH REGIME

London. - Trouble appears to be
in the making in Spain, according to
meager reports which sifted through
the Spanish censorship.
Personally King Alfonso commands
the respect and confidence of his peo-
pie, but the anti-monarchists are aim
ing at the German influenced minis
ters and the German dominated court
with which the king is surrounded.
Dispatches indicated the anti-govern.
ment forces have effected a cOmbina-
ton and formally announced their
determination to force such changes
"as may be expedient to make the
sovereign will Of the people prevail"
The anti-government parties have
heretofore never been able to unite.
but recent reports that a new minis
try of violent German sympathies was
projected, together with the paralysis
of industries throughout the country,
brought all factions together.
