The prosecution was COMPOUNDED.
The lawyers asked few formal ques-

evidence. Robert Dayton was a free
man, honorably acquitted.
The young physician was close at

the latter approached his client.
II must thank you for your great
services, Mr.. Telford," said the man.

Il must see more of you. You nave

young physicians hand warmly.
IL later years Evelyn never forgot

seemed more carefree on that occa-

Then moonlight, charming garden

hazy silence Evelyn said:

wished TO ask you very particular
question for some time"

his usual rather sad smile.

DEMAND "SToRY" IN POETRY
So-called Human Appeal" Necessary
to American Readers, Is the
Opinion Of Amy Lowell.

81 have been noting the course of
poetry for many years." writes Amy
Lowell In the Literary Review, land
am convinced that I'm this country
(and more so here than In any other,
i helieve) even the genuine poetry
readers have but slight love and
knowledge Of the poetry in a poem !;
the so-called human appeal the
story element, is the delighting thing.
We are not in America, very luxuriant
thinkers, we are considerably afraid
OF eXuherance of imagination; It not
only does not attract, II causes n def
mite movement OF recoil Those po-
cts addicted to richness of colorng
and wealth of imagery suffer from the
very gloriousneSs of their imaglnations.
We can stand great deal of ba-
nality or badness Of poetic feeling If
only the subject be firmly enough
planted on the ground; but we are
thrown into CONFUSION of ,listaste If
the poet, seeing lovely earth ana
telling us how he sees It, forgets to
reduce this seeing TO the llere back
ground Of love tale, or death tale,
or something equally familiar nnd re-
assuring. All of which is merely to
repeat the old truism that the Amer
lean public is inexperienced.

Suns RAYS and tuberculosis.

DIR. A. Roller, the great exponent of
thte sun cure for tuberculosis, explains
in the Lancet (London) why sunlight
effects a cure, not only in tubelc ulosis
but of Suppurating wounds, anaemia,
ricketts, and other affections. 1t is be-
cause the light Is highly poisonous TO
bacteria in general and to those of
tuberculosis in particular, while it is
not only harmless but actually benefi-
cisl to the cells of the higher ami
mails.
Sunlight seems to hurry up the dis
Indignation of cells damaged beyond
repair and at the same time TO slim
ulate the activity of unchanged cells.
And it is not the ultraviolet rays but
the luminous rays that are so beneh-

CHAMPION SPENDER
"CoaIoil Johnny's" Attempt to
Live Up to His Income.
BY EpeAR TAYLoR wHEELock.

BY EDGAR TAYLOR WHEELock.
Copyright. 1921 American Press League.)
Do you remember reading the story
of "Coaloil Johnny" 1t was nearly If
not quite half a century ago that this
financial meteor flashed across the
eastern sky and left trail of very
substantial banknotes behind him.
Oil had been discovered on the bar
rem Pennsylvania farm On which he
had been raised and he suddenly be-
came possessed of something over half
million dollars, which he immediate
ly be gan to unload.
He Hung Up New Record.
After prolonged debauch, during
which he was guilty of every conceiy-
able form of asininity, he came to his
sober senses a pauper. He had made
new mark as a spender which still
stands as the record
'Coaloil Johnny" is the accepted
type of the extravagant waster class of
fools who stand at one extreme of the
social scale; at the other extreme
stands the uiser who loves money for
itself ard boards 1t. Neither waster
or miser is of any particular service
to himself Or humanity.
The individuals who really do count,
who serve as constructive forces, who
take an active part in the building of
communities by aiding in the expan-
sion of industries and In the solution
of industrial and commercial prob
lens, are those who neither waste nor
hoard; the people who save what they
can and make their savings work.
Living Up to Ones Income.
The great majority of the American
people can If they will belong to this
class. It is merely matter of the
standard of living, about which there
has been so much talk. As matter of
fact the standard of living in many
cases depends solely upon-not the &C.
tusl needs of the family-but the size
of the family income.
A man earning 81 zoo TO $500 In
normal times manages to support his
family on his income. When, or if,
his income or salary. as the case may
be. increases toNS2, 500, then $1,000 and
nnallyi $4,000, his standard of living
cost of living-increases in proper
ton and the entire income is expended.
Should Consider the Future.
The size of the income must be taken
into account, of course, in fixing the
standard of living-the annual budget
but it is just as important to pro
vide for the future by setting aside a
part of the income as 1t is to provide
for IKE present by purchasing the nee.
essaries of life.
The trouble with "Coaloil johnny"
was that his income was not what
might be called regular-he did NOT
have an oil-bearing farm to sell every
three months. AS consequence. when
the money received for the first farm
was gone he was on his uppers.

Flowers Not for Sick Room.

All flowers grown from bulbs are
dangerous in rooms where there is
illness. Although punches of flowers
are invariably taken to the sick, such
blooms as by; cinths, lilies-of-the-val-
ley, tuberoses, and even daffodils and
narcissus, should be carefully avoided.
The perfume is said to be as danger
Gus to person in a critical state OF
health as dose of morphine would

which that drug sometimes confers.
