Holding Down q Profession.

A young fellow living in one Of In.
diana's small towns was graduated
from the high school and looked about
for some easy. yet lucrative profession.
He finally decided to study medicine
and settled down in the office of the
towns most popular doctor for sum.
mer's reading. As he read he watched
this busy mans hours Of work.
One day In the late summer the doc
tor came In out Of a drenching rain,
tired out, and trlfls cross. Glancing
at the immaculate young fellow, whose
heels were reposlng on the office desk
he asked brusQuely:

Some AIrpIane Gas 10 Pink.

There is a difference between auto
mobile gasoline and airplane gasoline.
For aircraft the gas must be lighter
and more volatile, that Is. evaporate
more readily, than ordinary gas. This
causes 1t to work better at great alti-
tudes. There are three grades Of gas
oline for our airplanss, one for train
ing planes, a better grade Of gasoline
for bombing planes and the very best
grade for the fighting planes. "Fight-
ing gas" as 1t Is called, il colorsd
pink. This is to distinguish 1t from
other grades so that inexperienced
men working at the aviation fields
will not use this valuable gasoline for
other purposes. This pink gas is az
pure as 1t can be produced, refined
and doubly refined and strained or
filtered until there are no impurities
left in it.-American Boy.

Ancient Cornerstone Laylno.

The custom Of laying the corner
stone Of public building with cere-
monies was practiced by the ancients.
At the laying Of the cornerstone when
the capitol of Rome was rebuilt a pro-
cession Of vestal virgins, robed In
white, surrounded the stone and con-
secrated it with libations Of living
water. A prayer to the gods followed,
and then the magistrates, priests, sem
ators and knights laid hold of the
ropes and moved the mighty stone to
Its proper position. In a hollow cut
In the stone were placed ingots of
gold, silver and other metals which
had not been melted in any furnace.
With the Jews the cornerstone was
considered an emblem Of power, and
they also performed ceremonies at its
laying. In medieval times the rite
was taken up by the order Of Free
masons and has by them been brought
down to modern days, the Masonic
ceremony of laying cornerstone be-
ing symbolical.

BANANAS MAKE BERLIN GLAD
After Five Years Absence, This Ma
tive sf the Tropics 10 Real
Symbol Of Peace.

As was passing down the Fried
nchstrasse, says correspondent of the
London Times. writing from Berlin,
my eye was caught by crowd Of
people which suddenly collected In
front Of q delicatessen shop.
It was only with difficulty that one
could get near enough to SEQ what It
was that attracted so much attention.
heard sxclamations Of wonder and
admiration, and ON looking q little
moro closely saw-a bunch Of bananas
which the shopkssper had just hung
up In the window and which was q
novelty to the Berliners, who for near
ly five years have seen not a trace
Of this fruit, once so plentiful and
cheap In the capital.
The smiling faces and little Jokes
made 1t quite evident that the banana
was recognized as a symbol Of peace
and that the delight felt at Its
presence was due to the evidence 1t
afforded that the blockade Is q
thing Of the past.

tinctly out Of sorts. When asked what
was wrong she answered that she
thought there was not the proper rev.

complained. "They were too fickle

1t perfectly sacrilegious when that So

The family she was visiting smiled
but later admitted to themselves that
1t was indeed incongruous althougb

You may learn some thing from the
following statement by w. H. Ireland
a travelling salesman of Louisville
Ky. "1n the summer of 1888 I had q
severe attack of cholera morbus. I
gave the hotel porter fifty cents and
told him to buy me bottle of Cham

and to take no substitute. l took a
double dose of it according to the di-
rections and went to sleep. At five
O'CLOCK the next morning I was called
by my order and took a train for nv
next stopping place, well man."
