Cross Life Saving Society,"
81 believe the explanation OF Mrs
Vetter's remarkable buoyancy rests in
her abnormal lung capacity and the
high location OF the center of gravity
Of her body. Mrs. Tetter, in some
ways, has the most remarkable lungs
I have ever Known in a woman. One
reason for this is that she has never
laced aud her internal organs have new
er been displaced as Is the case with
women who wear tight corsets.
Her normal chest measurement is
SIS inches. very unusual IN woman Of
her size. and her chest expansion is Tar
above the average. Her waist meas
urement is 30 inches.
THE abnormal development OF the
chest and diaphragm cavity causes the
center OF gravity of the body to be
raised. with corresponding greater
buoyancy."

emotion swept across his heart ut his
first meeting with her whom he was
to love evermOre till death did them
part. Ninety-nine men out of hun
dred will confess to their wives. "I'm
blest if just know just how l hap
pened to propose to y0u.' When a
man can forget that most thrilling Of
all moments in his life he can forget
anything. Such men find it very easy
to forget their wife's or children's
birthdays, realizing that remembrance
would call for presents.
Many wives are glad to have the chill
dren not forgotten. But they are Just
as well satisfied that he has forgotten
how swiftly time is running away with
their good looks and aging them.
Last, and by no means least, no man
or woman, no matter how happily mar
ried, should allow the old folks at home
to imagine themselves forgotten by
them. 1t doesn't take much time to
write few lines once in fortnight.
We should always remember not to for

NEW YEARS DAY.

We step into New Year. It is q
great opportunity. The sun will rise
and set in the same way, and LIES
duties will come and 60 much as they
do today, and nothing will be very
different or distinctive; and yet, we
say, the dawning Of a New Year is
gerat opportunity. 1t IS our imagina-
tion-surely a God-given faculty-that
helps to make it so. Nature and the
bare facts Of life do not show any DIFF
ference between today and tomorrow,
but something, nevertheless, does come
to us today with unique and spe-
cially hopeful message. 1t Is the Won
derful helpful and alluring inspiration
that comes from the thought Of a new
start. We cannot absolutely begin all
over again; the stern experiences OF
the DAYS to come will soon show US
that we cannot. Yet in sense we
can. and the sense in which we can
does mean a great opportunity. We
can use that opportunity so that 1t
will not too cruelty disappoint us in
the end. We can really begin to be
the better thing that our Imagination
pictures to us today. We ought not
to miss The opportunity.

SHOULD PREPARE FOR WINTER
Heavy Wooden Stockings, Waterproof
Hat and Coat Rank Among the
Desirable Articles,

If you have any old wool that could
be used for knitting socks-you can
provide some by ripping out an old
sweater-make yourself a pair of
heavy stockings for this winter. Make
them the same as you would soldiers
socks only with full length legs and
smaller feet. They may serve you In
good stead this winter when duty or
patriotism calls you outdoors 'on
stormy or cold days. The new coats
are going to be short and we must
manage to keep our ankles comfort
able by warmer skirts or hosiery.
Get a rainy day waterproof hat.
You'll be out in all sorts of weather
if you are one of those who have
needed the country's call and have
gone into some patriotic work. A
waterproof hat will save your other
hat or hats.
If you can't afford Il waterproof coat
invest in one of the less expensive
waterproof capes. Not the oilskin
sort-for those are very expensive
but the kind made of rubber and wO-
ven goods.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, il an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonlshing statement that one reason why
20 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, ard the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swsmp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
IN herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need of such q
remedy to give it a. trial. 1t is on sale
Ut all drug stores in bottles Of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
h'lmer 4 Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for q
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

GOOD NEW YEAR ADVICE

1.-The old familiar wish rings true.
A Happy New Year, friends, to you.'
A man who keeps up the custom Of
sending New Year cards to his friends
included this year second card bear
ing these words:
Instead of returning evil for evil,
try to return evil with good: to say
nothing i'll Of others; to act kindly
even with dumb animals.
"Live thus one day, two days, or
more, and compare the state of your
mind with its state in former days.
Make the attempt and you will see
how the dark, evil moods have passed
away and how the souls happiness has
increased.
Make the attempt, and you will see
that the gospel Of love brings the
greatest and most desirable of all
things"
On these cards is written, "This is
Tolstoy's advice. It is good to pin on
a calendar where it will be seen every
day."

Many of our American women were un.
able to take up the duties of nursing at
