Humidity.

Humidity Is the moisture or aqueous
vapor In the atmosphere. The vapos
is really an invisible gas. When this
vapor becomes visible 1t is called dew,
fog, mist, haze, clouds, rain, snow, hail,
etc., according to the size of the drope
Of water or the method by which the
vapor condenses. A given space at q
given temperature can contain only q
definite amount Of moisture. When a
given space contains all of the mois-
ture 1t is capable of holding itsis said
to be saturated. The percentage of
moisture in the air to what 1t would
hold II saturated is called the relative
humidity. When the air saturated
with moisture the humidity would be
100 per cent, and II half saturated so
per cent, three-quarter saturated rs
per cent. The increased humidity has
much to do with the effect Of the tenn
perature on the individual, which is
the reason the subject is so commonly
discussed during hot periods.

MORE PEOPLE READ BOOKS
According to English Authority, This
Is One Of the Results Of
the War.

There are Eve times as many peo-
pie In England reading books as there
were before the war, according to Sir
Ernest Williams, one Of the foremost
publishers of London. He says war
has taught the people there the value
Of books, and shown them the joy Of
reading. When air raids were numer-
GUS and all social activities stopped,
there still remained the inner room.
the light and books. There was a
quick demand developed for light
reading, but 1t has changed and grown
% that now the best books are most
in demand. When air raids were ended
and lights and social activities were
used again, the habit Of reading was
continued and has grown rapidly the
past year.
There is an insistent demand, this
publisher says, for books that deal
with real life. 1t is his belief that
out of the experiences of war has
been born deeper appreciation of life
and understanding Of how tremendous
ly worth living it is. On this new con-
seriousness he bases the demand for
books that deal sincerely with prob
lens of life.-Ohio State Journal.

ISLAND SAVED BY WOMEN
How the Female Population of HelqoA
land Upset Calculations Of
Danish Admiral.

HelgOland, the naval wall flower
during the World war, had its fate
decided, upon one memorable occasion,
by the women of the island, according
to bulletin of the National Geograph-
lie society. About the time William
Penn was settling Pennsylvania q
Danish admiral captured the islands
fishermen one night while they were
placing their nets. He threatened
to hold them as hostages until the
island surrendered to Denmark.
Wives, mothers and sisters arose and
forced the Danish garrison TO re-
iinquish any claim upon Helgoland.
In the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries HelgOland was center Of
the North sea herring fisheries. Then
herring veered back to Scotlands
coast and the islanders handed down
tale of the impiety by which they
forfeited the boon. Until a few years
ago horses were unknown to the IS
land. One story has 1t that when an
old woman saw an Englishman ride
up the hills she dropped dead from
the shock of what she believed was

folks from respecting their own re-
spOnsibilities. The world wouldn't get
along very fast II all our time and

PAY CASH

my cash discounts pay my rent,
friend told me recently" writes
Jerome C. Mendel, executive direct
or of the Retail Millinery Associa-
ton of America, in the bulletin of
that organization, to which | inqulr-
ed, "what rent do you pay?'
"Two hundred dollars a month, "
he replied.
"This is but one advantage of TAX
ing the cash discount. There are
others. For instance, the merchant
who builds up a reputation for dis
counting dis bills is often given
concessions by some houses. Such
merchant will frequently be Of
fered bargains in goods which the
manufacturer is closing out or which
the jobber happens to pick up at
a price and which can be made TO
bring in a nice retail profit. All
along the line the special favors go
to the retailer who takes the cash
discount.
There is another point in favor
of the practice which probably is
not appreciated by every merchant,
and this point has to do with the
rate of interest. AS an example,
suppose you receive bill offering
discount of per cent-3O days
net. If instead of taking the dis
count you wait the full 80 days and
pay the full amount, you have lost
an opportunity to obtain interest
on your money at the rate Of 80
per cent year.
'True by taking the thirty days
you have the use of your money 20
days longer, but it is doubtful II
you are realizing 90 per cent on 1t
in that time.
eff you are offered discount
of only per cent in 10 days go
days nett and take advantage OF
it, you are earning interest on your
money at the rate of 81 per cent
a year, which is as good as the best
oil stock. New York Times.

Democratic Boom
For Gen. Pershing

New York, June 1O.-A dark
horse boom for Gen. John j. Per-
shing for the democratic presiden-
tial nomination was set in motion
here today. 1t was announced that
Edward F. Coltra, Democratic ma
tional committeeman from Missouri
will goNto Washington to invite Gen,
Pershing to attend the San Fran
cisco convention as a guest of big
Missouri delegation on special
train.
Pershing is a native of Missouri
and the men behind this movement
say that he is eligible for nomina-
ton as Democrat, although he has
no definite party alignment.
Democrats here said that the fact
that Senator Warren of Wyoming
is Pershing's father-in-law has led
to the impression that Pershing was
Republican, but that this impress
sion is without foundation.

MISTAKES ABOUT SEA WAVES
Really They Are Not Nearly as High
as Some Voyaqers Have
Asserted.

Voyagers on stormy seas come safe-
ly ashore and tell their friends of
waves that rose mountains high and
at times threatened to overwhelm the
vessel on which they braved the deep
The unframed eyes of the amateur
seafarer generally exaggerate the
height Of the waves, and when the
statement Is made that the water rose
at least 100 feet above the vessel 1t is
seldom that any Of the auditors can
disprove it,
Exhaustive observations made by
scientists give the maximum height
attained by waves at not more than
sixty feet, and then only when the
wind has been of hurricane force. The
average height of waves in strong
gale is about thirty feet, in a whole
gale about thirty-seyen feet. and in a
storm about forty-five feet. The scien-
lists further state that If waves travel
as fast as the average velocity of the
strongest winds and if there be swift
er waves produced directly or Indirect
ly by action of the wind upon the sea
they do not attain sufficient height to
form noticeable breakers

SALAMANDERS OF GREAT SIZE
Proof That Species Long Extinct,
Sometimes Attained a Length Of
Five Feet

In Europe, some time ago, bones
were dug up Of some nevis which in
life had been about five feet long.
Every boy Is familiar with nevis,
which he calls ''salamanders," COM
monty found in brooks and ponds. A
specimen five inches long is a big one
But FIVE feet-they must have been
monsters.
OF course these giant nevis were OF
long-extinct species. 1t would have
been interesting to live In those days,
when so many queer monsters (mostly
Of aquatic habits) swarmed the earth.
They seem to have been among ma
lures earliest experiments, abandoned
later
There were no mammals then; and
the supposition is that all mammals
of today, including man, were origin
ally derived from a reptilian ancestry.
We cannot say for certain that this
queer reptile (Which lived about 7,00O,-
600 years ago) was not actually an an
cestor Of our own.
1t was dug up in Texas. and has
been named Dimetrodon. About eight
feet long, the most curious thing about
1t was the enormous fin 1t carried on
its back-the ribs Of the fin being =
series Of bones extending from the YER
tebrae.
OF what use was this I'm? Perhaps
1t was merely ornamental. Or 1t may
be that 1t was a means Of defense.

ache and misery in the kidney region ;
rheumatic twinges, severe headaches,
acid stomach, constipation, torpid
liver, sleeplessness, bladder and uri-

The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or If bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces Of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy !;
take tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts Is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids
in the urine so 1t no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
