THE Low COST OF HEALTH

We hear very much Of the high cost
of living, but we overlook the fact
that many Of the best things Of life
can be had for nothing.
1t costs nothing to stand up and
walk and breathe properly.
Fresh air in the home is free.
No expense to taking few simple
exercises every morning.
It costs nothing to chew the food
thoroughly.
It costs nothing to select the food
best suited to the body.
It costs nothing to clean the teeth
twice day.
1t costs no more to stop using pat
ent medicines.
1t costs no more to read good books
than trashy literature.
1t costs nothing to have a cheerful
happy disposition, and stop having
grouches.
These things cost nothing, but they
will bring content and reduce the
doctors bill to nothing a year--Fol

THE MAN WHO ATE
THE FIRST OYSTER

Conceive a shipwrecked Phoenician
sailor scambling over the wet rocks,
perhaps one who has tasted no food
for three days. He notices these lit
tie bivalves for the first time in his
life. He tears apart the ligaments
by which the oyster holds his own.
He stares at the strange, and to him
disgusting, lump of fleshy substance,
then de touches it with his finger,
then smells of 1t. He hesitates, and
finally throws it away. An hour
after, impelled by gnawing pains In
his stomach, and fear of horrible
death, he goes to the place where he
threw it, searches for 1t, washes 1t
clean in limpid pool left by the
tide among the rocks, and after mary
wry faces and futile efforts, with a
prayer to Jupiter, swallows 1t. His
heart heaves once or twice, but as his
tongue rolls round his palate, he is
forced to admit there is nothing I'M
pleasant in the taste left in his mouth.
He imagines once or twice he feels
symptoms of a gripping pain, but that
passes off, An hour later he feels SO
much better that he looks for another
oyster, and before the sun goes down
behind the watery horizon he has
cat two. With another prayer to
the gods, he makes for himself hole
in the warm, dry sand, above the tide
mark, and goes to sleep with his
last thoughts turned to the home
which, after his rash venture, added
to the other dangers of his situation
he hardly expected to see again
When. on the next day, he meets hi
comrades and persnades them to ca
oysters, he finds that it is less diff
cult for others to follow his example
than IL was for hin TO set it, AM
within year or two all the sailor
in the Phoenician navy, and all tn
inhabitants in ports visited by Pho
enician ships, ate oyster regularly.
But say, it took nerve. Even now
half the women close their eyes whel
they eat a raw oyster.-Clearwate

IS IT maintenance OR INCOME?

Mrs. Howard II. Spaulding, Jr.,
formerly Miss Catherine Barker, "the
$8O,OOO,OOO heiress," through her for
mer guardian, James B. Forgan, has
brought suit against julius F. Smie-
tanka, collector of internal revenue in
Chicago, for a refund of $4,472.37 paid
as income tax and for $4,000 addi-
t1Onal.
The suit dates back to 1916,
when the internal revenue office "by
duress" collected $4,472.37 from the
First Trust and Savings bank, which
holds in trust the estate left by her
father. Mr.. Forgan is seeking the re-
fund on the ground that Mrs. Spauld-
ing does not derive an income from
her fathers estate until she becomes
twenty-six years old.
The trust fund stipulates, it Is as
serted that she be paid certain sums
as maintenance, and these sums it is
contended, cannot be classed as in
come. The income Of the estate, the
bill recites, is paid back into the trust

WOMEN SHOULD WORK TOGETHER

Women must work together, says
Mrs. Lloyd George. Her views in
clude these points:
During the war it was the wom-
en-, working together, who bound up
the wounds Of their soldiers who did
battle for them. Now we are at peace,
but there Is still many a rent to be
mended in our social fabric, and wars
waste and ravage yet to be repaired.
And women must still work together
in this labor of reconstruction.
"But If we are then to go on and
build in the light of the new con-
ceptions which, learned from war, we
are embodying in our peace, then our
whole social fabric must be renovated,
If not rewoven.
There are immense social prob

them the finest thought Of the best

FOREST SERVICE UNDER ATTACK

Henry 8. Graves is forester Of
the forest service, the bureau of the
department Of agriculture which con-
trolls the national forests. Bills have
been introduced in congress providing
for the repeal Of the act of 1905 which
transferred the national forests from
the interior department to the agri-
cultural department. The national
forests were created out of the public
domain in 1905, and the forest service
was established to apply to them the
principles Of scientific numbering and
grazing. 1t was believed that the ma
tioral forests would soon become self
supporting. The forest service now
gets an appropriation of about $6,OOO,-
900 a year and its deficit Is about
100000 year.
The agricultural department has
been waging a campaign to get the
control of the national parks trans
ferred to it from the interior depart

TO ELIMINATE DELAY
French Introduces Claim Bill
In Congress.

Washington, d, C.,-Congressman
French spoke for fifteen minutes in
the house Of representatives urging
the passage Of legislation that will
provide that small claims arising
against the government thru the
different executive departments be
disposed of and adjudicated by the
cabinet officers presiding over the
several departments.
He pointed out a star route mail
carrier in Idaho who has waited ten
years for his pay,-the Department
wanting to pay him but being unable
to under the general law because Of a
flaw in his bond.
He pointed out the case Of home
steader on the Nez Perce reservation
who was given patent to land that
had been patented to an Indian 20
years before, being told to move off
a after he had spent several thousands
Of dollars ia Improvements.
Mr.. French says it makes for bol--
shevism to permit such Outrages under
the government against individuals
and there ought to be speedy way
provided for the settlement of such
claims.
He related how the present congress
has been unable TO consider these
claims because of important war bus
iness and that, after all, it is un
reasonable that congress should
assume TO handle cases that are o
such character that the heads Of de
partments should decide them or
their own responsibility.
Mr.. French has introduced bill
providing for the settlement Of Suct
claims by the heads of the Severa
Departments and urges It's passage.
Mr.. French pointed out that year
ago it is understood one claim wa
passed by congress three times, -
thing that he says could never occu
if the matter had been disposed Of ii
the department where the CLAIM
arose.
