HAD A RECORD APPETITE
Cod, Two Pounds Of Candies and
Several of Butter.

"Eccentricities of Diet and Their Eff
feet on the Digestion" was the subject
of a lecture delivered at the Institute
of Hygiene by DR. Saltau Fenwick.
The physician mentioned people who
can never eat enough who have an in
satlabe hunger. In appearance they
are lean, feeble, ill-favored and they
have carnivOrous appetites. However
much they eat they are none the bet
ter for it.
One little girl of eight had special
keeper to prevent her from eating the
household goods. She would cheerfully
devour seven times as much as any
other member of the family, and escap-
ing from her attendant one day for a
few minutes enjoyed a meal beginning
with an entire raw cod. two pounds Of
kitchen candles and several pounds of
butter. She was fortunately found be-
fore she got further than these hors
d'oeuvres.
A girl was locked in little walled
garden for two or three hours. During
that time she ate every leaf she could
lay hands on, most of the small twigs
on shrubs and was discovered in the
not of gnawing~a bough.
One boy ate the whole of his cloth
ing. A young woman invaded dairy,
ate 30 unboiled eggs, six pounds of but
ter five loaves, and drank three pints
of milk and two bottles of wine; after
which, providentially for the dairy
keeper, she fell asleep.-London Ex-
press.

TOMMYROT

And while talking about automobile
driving, it might not come amiss to
repeat sentiments expressed on this
page last SUMMERTIME nonsense ex-
pressed in some of the speed signs at
the entrances to our towns and vii
lagos.
We know where there are dozen
towns in Vermont whose signs read ::
"Speed Limit Six Miles an Hour"
What's the use of putting up such
a sign, anyway? Everybody knows
it won't be obeyed. There are reput-
able machines who can't cut down
their speed to six miles an hour and
work smoothly and no normal red
blooded person is going to poke along
at that rate, anyhow. 1t isn't human
to have the patience. Even ten miles
Is an aggrevation and fifteen only
plausible.
Down through New Hampshire
there are lot of signs:
motorists! Please Drive at Rea-
sonable Rate of Speed Through our
Village" which accomplish their pur-
pose far better than lot of balder-
dash about "blank miles per hour Oh
go to jail" One sign in Vermont
reads: "Speed Limit Ten Miles PEI
Hour. WE ENFORCE THISl Per
order The Selectmen." And all you
can see of the town is three houses
store and two cemeteries. The
motorist knows from the look of the
place that the warning is a farce and
toots through at sixty per.
All this speed literature needs edit
ing badly. AS matter of fact, the
time is rapidly approaching when our
auto laws should be made uniform fo1
all states, cities and towns, for auto
touring is becoming an interstate af-
fair, A man on tour may drive al
one speed through one town and the

INDIAN CITIES VERY ENGLISH
In Architecture and Many other Ways
They Are Copies of Those
in the Old Land.

The great presidency towns, Calcutta,
Bombay, Madras, are European cities
planted on Indian soil. All the prom
inent buildings are European, though
in some of the more recent ones an
endeavor has been made to adopt
what is known as the "Indo-Saracenic"
style of architecture. For the rest the
streets are called by English names,
generally the names of bygone vice
roys and governors, or of the soldiers
who conquered the land and quelled
the mutiny-heroes whose effigies meet
you at every turn. The shops are
English shops, where English or Eu-
rasian assistants traffic in English
goods. English carriages and motors
bowl along the macadamized or tarred
roads of old England. On every hand
there is evidence of the instructive eff
fort to reproduce, as nearly as the eli
mate will permit, English conditions
of life. In Bombay, indeed, the mer-
chant princes are no longer Euro
peans but Hindus and Parsis. Theirs
are the most sumptuous palaces on
Malabar hill; theirs the most swagger
motors on the Queens road and the
Apollo Bunder. In Calcutta, though
commercial competition is less keen,
the great Bengali land owner is a
prominent and important parsonage.
But few, indeed, are the points of con-
tact between the Asian town and the
European city which has been super
imposed upon it.-'India end the Flu
ture," by William Archer.

Note the Difference Growth Forming" Material

1.-THE way to grow big crops, is to
grow big crops" said a prominent agri-
culturist recently.
What did he mean?
He was simply expressing in a
rather unusual way, the well known
principle that a big crop leaves more
humuS-mOre plant residue-in the
soil, than does a small crop, and there
fore leaves the soil in better condition
to produce the succeeding crop. This
fact is particularly noticeable in the
case of the grass crop. A small grass
plant, of course, has small roots; but

| ter of the soil as much as if seven
tons of manure had been added.
The same effect is produced with
corn, wheat, oats and other staple
farm crops. In fact, in many sections
it has been found desirable to de.
pend almost entirely upon plant resi-
dues to furnish the needed soil humus,
Where manure supplies are insufficient
as is usually the case-humus can be
maintained and even increased by th-
full utilization of crop residues, pro-
vided big crops are grown. Fertilizer
and humus-producing crops mike q

lmportant Question.

A little boy Of five was travelling
south with his parents to visit an
aunt whom he had never seen. Hc
was very curious about this relative
and asked his father and mother end
less questions concerning her. AS
the Journey drew to its close the lit
tie fellow was amazed to see many
negroes at every station. Suddenly
a look of CONSERVATION dawned on his
face and turning to his mother he cried
in voice of alarm: Mamma, mann
ma, what color is Aunt JenY'-St.

FlaYlnd Cards.

Although it is commonly reported
that playing cards were invented in
France in 1892 to divert Charles VI,
D'Allemagne, a French writer on the
subject mentions them as being in use
in Belgium in 1879, and probably some
thing analogous to them-marked discs
or cOunters-have been employed in
the East from remote antiquity. 1t is
now usually thought that it was in
Italy playing cards were first made,
about 1870 and at Venice.

sometimes we do not realize that a
bigger grass plant has bigger roots and
therefore leaves a larger amount of
humus making material in the ground
when the sod is plowed under.

Don't worry if you've made few
enemies. 1t all depends on what kind
of enemies they are and whether they
were worth making, And probably
for very enemy you've made, you've
made two friends.
We ought to let the kid blow its
darned head off with dynamite crack
ers this year. His big brother got
his darned head blown off with gren-
AIDES in the Argonne and nobody set
up the "safe and sane" cry.
There's one kid that ought to have
his jacket tanned until there's no
more jacket. That's the kid who
thinks it's smart to turn the signs
around at crossroads, and we'd like
to do the job.
1t ought to jolt the editors of the
comic papers of this country to real
ize that the real prohibitionists are
not horse-faced individuals with car
pet-bags and Prince-Albert coats
They're square, awed business men
who are bit weary of having the
help missing on Monday morning
or monkey wrenches dropped into
