STILL CLING TO RAG DOLL
Simplest Of All Playthings Remains
Enthroned in the Heart Of Small
American Girl.

The old rag doll still retains its su-
preme seat In the realm of child fancy.
despite the invasion of airplanes that
fly, bisque dolls that walk. talk and
roll their eyes. wireless sets that wire
and automobiles that auto, according
to Homer Stephens, president Of the
American Toy Exhibitors, Inc, the
New York Evening Telegram states.
Although we have every form Of
toy imaginable which can and does
please the heart of the child, there Is
nothing like the old rag DOLL" Mr..
Stephens said. "There were more rag
dolls manufactured and sold last year
than ever before, and I understand
the demand has increased this year.
"All toy manufacturers have inven-
tors who turn out new articles every
year. This years innovation is the
popular-priced toy photograph. which
plays any record and costs but few
dollars. Toys this year have been
made especially to promote what
might be called Juvenile engineering
'They are built for the purpose Of
instilling the constructive spirit in the
child, and we have found a market
for those things even among the
grownups.

Whence Comes rurpentlns.

Most people know that turpentine
is a product of the pine tree, but are
not acquainted with the means by
which 1t is obtained.
Beneath the bark Of the tree are
resin-secreting cells, whose output is
meant by nature for healing wounds.
If the skin Of the tree be wounded
severely, many more of these cells,
much larger In size, develop and pour
out great quantities of resin.
Hence, to procure tAe resin, the bark
is well SCARED with cuts preferably
made in series of parallel Vs., and
receptacle is placed beneath to
catch the fluid as it eKudes.
The fluid is then distilled and the
volatile part of it, which passes over,
is turpentine. The residue Is what we
call "rosin" and is used for many pur-
poses, one of its employments being in
the manufacture of explosives.-Kan-
sas City Star.

Natural Question.

company Of young folks who were
evidently out for pleasure excur-

HURT BY LACK OF EXERCISE
American People, Through Excessive
Use Of Automobiles, Rapidly Be-
coming Nation of Dyspeptics.

Excessive automobile riding is said
to be the cause Of many ailments of
the digestive, the respiratory and the
circulation organs. A student asked
one Of his professors which branch
of the medical profession he regard
ed as the most remunerative.
'If were again young man, just
starting out" the professor replied, II
would choose the digestive tract.
Americans are playing havoc with that
part of their anatomy. With automo-
bile riding rapidly replacing the good
old habit Of walking, people don't get
enough exercise to digest properly.
Result: Better business for the physi-
clans.
"Next to the alimentary troubles the
heart and lungs are involved; the mus
cles Of these organs are weakened
both by lack Of exercise and by the
ill-nourished condition of the blood
due to hasty eating. You see It all
comes back to the question Of eating
the digestive tract. So that, 1t seems
to me, should prove to be the branch
Of the profession to which would give
first choice"

TOWN OF PECULIAR HISTORY
Settlement In Arkansas Had Its Or.
i9in In the Failure Of Italian
Colony Elsewhere.

The dramatic story of Tontitown In
Arkansas, all that remains of an Ital.
ian colonization plan instituted by
Austin Corbin, New York financier,
about fifty years ago, is told by Bruno
Roselli in the Century. In the latter
half Of the nineteenth century Corbin
purchased large tracts of cotton lands
along the lower Mississippi and made
arrangements with the mayor of Rome
to send number of Italian families
as settlers for the new colony, which
was to be named Sunnyside.
In the new colony malaria fever, a
tropical disease unknown to the Ital-
ians, broke out in their new habita-
ton, and the settlers became panic
stricken. Having no place TO go, they
began sending out appeals to Italian
consuls in the larger American cities,
but their appeals remained UNDECIDED
until they reached the ears of Father
Bandini. Tuscan priest of New York.
who Immediately started for Sunny
side.
Not having the means of covering
transportation costs If he were TO take

the priest began to lead the Italians
out Of the malarial region on foot
They finally reached the spot where
Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma touch
borders. They purchased a good many
acres of land with $1,000 they saved,
felled the trees out of which they built
homes for themselves and chapel and
named the new settlement Tontitown,
after the pioneer Tonti, who was the
first Italian known to have set foot in
Arkansas.

Americas Telephone Industry.

According TO the report by the bu-

telephone systems and lines. These
lines and systems operated 2S,S27, 188
miles of wire In the United States
enough to girdle the earth at the
equator 1,153 tipes-and connected
11,716,520 telephones and 21.175 public

The messages or talks" sent over
these wires aggregated the stupendOus
total of nearly 22.OO0.OOO,OO0. or. to be
exact, 21,s45, 722, 1876. Figured on the

During the war surgeons did some
extraordinary operations on the heart.
An account of these and of the tech
nique is given by Sir Charles Balance,
consulting surgeon of st. Thomas hos

bullets that penetrated the heart were
often expelled through the aorta with
the blood and were found at remote
parts of the body where they had
stuck in an artery.

The forest area of southern New
England is now about 46 per cent of
the total land surface. This is equiv
alent to 100000 acres of forest land,
says the, American, Forestry associa-

ed is apparently on the increase. In
1910 the forested area was estimated
at Al per cent, in 1850 as 80 per cent
and in the Connecticut portion of the
