Broken Vows.

made a vow on New Years day that
never, never would / say a word to
shock the gentlest soul: I'd spring no
smoky rigmarole, however often trouble
came, or tribulation climbed my frame.
But when l made that pious pledge, on
which mean to hedge, 1 didn't
know my car would skid. and break an
axle. as it did. l didn't know that car
would pitch my person in a loathsome
ditch. n wrap the Windshield round
my neck, and make of me a
wreck. l didn't know cold waves would
come. n knock the plumbing out of
plumb. ! didn't know I'd freeze my feet
while wading through 10 miles of sleet.
l didn't know the coal I'd bought with
coin for which I'd fiercely fought, would
all be gone two months before spring
could be looked for at the door. Mans
vision cannot pierce the veil which
hides the futures vital tale: SO when
he says. "Ill make a vow, since pledg-
ing Is the fashion now; I will do this,
j won't do that" he's simply talking
through his hat.

this is a sound purpose nobody can
needed is as little likely to b. doubted.
But there has beer q question whether
the. states had a legal right to enact such
legislation, though Is states have done it.
the supreme court of the United States
has answered that question. The states

Minnesota needs such q law, too. Now

This overstraining first shows itself
by q tendency to obesity. AS obesity

pounds and weighs 200 pounds. We
will say that his p%ancreas capacity for
taking care OF the m~etaboliSm of 100
pounds was 100 per cent. When his
weight increases to 200 pounds the 100
per cent capacity drops to Sc per cent.
But since he needs only ~ per cent,
he is still much to the good. But sup
pose he keeps on overstraining his pam
down SO close to 10 per cent that a

ity has been overstrained-the pitcher

DIR. Hodgson. of worked
out a good many a ago much of
what we now know about diabetes. DIR.
Greeley of the same town illustrates the
relation of obesity to overstrain of the
pancreas by citing the following case.
A man weighing 275 pounds develops
diabetes. His case seems acute. In six
months he loses 100 pounds. His dia-
betes disappears. His pancreas was
able to take care of the tissue changes
in a man of 175 pounds, but not in one
of 275.
The best method of decreasing the
strain in the pancreas is to eat less.
and especially less sweets. desserts,
pastries, potatoes and bread. An ex-
cessive' amount OF meat also throws
strain on the bancreas but not as great
as that due to starches and sugars.

. The MAN WHO FOUND
I TRUTH WITHOUT SEEKING 4

From Golfers Weekly

Three men set forth in search of Truth.
The first said: L will go to seek it in the
wisdom of others. There. il anywhere, is
It to be found" So he ensconced himself
IN the %alcoves OF a great library and be-
gan to pore over the tones Of all the
in all centuries. Years and years
ne delved thus. One day, an old man, he
abruptly closed the volumes spread about
him. They all contradict each other
SAID ne. Ther is no such thing as
Truth" The second man had said. 1T
Is rot In books but in the lives Of my
fellow men that 1 shall find Truth" So
ne went forth for the quest. through all
the marts and byways of mankind. In a
rev years he returned wearing the cynic's
sneer; n third man had hesitated.
said he: Before l go to seek Truth, /
fancy 1t will be we'll that 1 should try to
practice it myself And in that endeavor
ne became SO absorbed that he postponed
ms great quest. year after year, all his
iife long. AS he lay upon his death bed
ne sighed deeply. Il owe to seek for
Truth he mIrmured. and 1 have brok-
en- my. VOW" n then. even as he
raised his eyes. there stood before him a
SHINING apparition, of great beauty. 81
am TRUTH. said the figure, and smiled
down upon him. And, as the man gazed
IN silent cement he voice continued:
truly. you had no need to look for me,
Tor you found me and / nave been at your
side ever since that day long ago when
you chose to do rather thar to seek"

HEALTH IN OFFICES.

This is a story about a group of men

and complaining, and not complaining
of symptoms just like ordinary folks.

Plan q Sunday Night Club.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

A place for strangers to go Sunday
nights during the autumn and winter
is the Offering Of the Philadelphia Sun
day Evening club, which is just getting
under way. 1t will be supported entirely
by voluntary contributions, and the
first meeting of this lonely mans or
ganization will be held at the Broad
Street theater.
Designed to meet the needs of the
ever present stranger, hotel guest. the
homeless travelling man n the thou
sands OF other persons compelled by
various reasons to spend Sunday night
alone here. the organization is also
adapted to appeal to the young men and
women of he city who are seeking a
place to go that particular time of the
week. With the opening of h school
year at the many institutions in the
city there will be many young people
here entire strangers.
A diversified program will be offered
at every meeting. Music. instrumental
vocal. by gifted persons in the city,
augmented by others from the theaters.
will be part OF each program. Speakers.
who IA q entertaining1y upon cur
rent topics of tho day. will be selected
from public. professional and CONNER
cial life. every effort being made to
have these come from the municipality,
so that b visitor may be both enter
tatned and instructed regarding Phila-
delphia.
The meetings will be nonreligious.

There win be no admission charge. no

WOMEN MAIL CARRIERS
BELIEVED EFFICIENT
Assistant Postmaster Lister Indorses
Experiment About to Be Made
in Washington

Women mail carriers should prove just
as efficient as men, according to John Lis
ter, Assistant Postmaster. A "try-out" will
be given to women mail carriers tomorrow
In Washington when Mrs. Parmelia Camp
bell and Mrs. Nellie NJ. McGrath will start
on routes. II their work proves satisfac-
tory it is probable that women mail car
riers will be put to work in other cities, at
least for the period of the war.
Mrs Campbell is the widow of a mail
carrier, and Mrs. McGrath's husband was
a mail carrier before he joined the army.
Judging by the good work performed in
the postal department, l am confident that
they will prove efficient as mail carriers"
said Mr.. Lister today. Although the ex-
pertinent has never been made before 1
think it will be a success"
Mr.. Lister also stated that he did not
think the plan would be tried in Phladel.
phia, as there is a large waiting list Of mail
carriers.
