Microbe Factory.

London, England, boasts microbe
factory. Biologists in general, and bac-
teriologists in particular, are able to
serve humanitarian interests only by
close study Of authentic strains of rec
ogrlzed bacteria, carefully cultured in
their various species and classes. Yet
it Is only quite recently that the needs
Of medical workers in this respect
have been fully met. For their sup
ply Of disease microbes for experiment
tai purposes, British scientists were
very largely dependent upon the
courtesy OF colleagues in other coun-
tries. Before the war, for instance,
a polite note to NJ. Binot of the Pas
teur institute in Paris was quite the
recognized procedure adopted by
medico who wished to start or add to
microbe menagerie. Characteristically
an effort to commercialize this all-im-
portant traffic was made by Kral at
Prague, but that source of supply was
never satisfactory.

The Stone That The
Builders Rejected

There are some things that are as
true today as they were 2000 years
ago, and yet we stumble over them as
blindly as did the people of that age.
You have often read the phrase, The
stone that the builders rejected has
become the head of the correr," but
did you ever apply it to modern life ?
Christ was rejected in His day, but
today He has been made the Head of
the Worlds greatest religion.
When Lincoln and Douglass made
their race for the Senate, Lincoln was
rejected but, before many months, he
became the head of the nation.
This is tru in nearly every phase Of
life. The Ford has been ridiculed and
rejected more than any other car, and
yet it heads all other cars in numbers
and point OF service.
A few days ago a whole nation was
reading in the papers the story of how
little Miriam Rubin was literally talk
ing herself to death-2l2 hours inces-
santly-and there seemed to be no
help for her. Doctor after doctor,
specialist after specialist, medicine
after medicine, had been tried without
success, and finally an often rejected.
Chiropractor of her home town was
allowed to adjust her and she responded
qaich1y.
You wonder why people will do
these things-why truth and worth are
SO often rejected, ridiculed and de-
spised. You wonder why people will
cling to old ideas and customs until
they are virtually forced to accept the
new but we are all just like other
folk-just as peculiar.
You try doctor after doctor, take
medicine after medicine. You have
your teeth pulled, your tonsils and
adenoids removed, give up your ap-
pendix and other vital organs until
there seems little hope for you, then
you bring your poor suffering, mutt

The richest small group of people
in the world are the Usage Indians,
whose reservation is in Usage county.
There are 900 Indians in this tribe,
800 of them being of full blood who
still wear their blankets, but the re-
mainder have forsaken the ways OF
their ancestors and have become ex-
tremely American. The reason for the
great wealth Of this tribe is that their
lands happen to be situated in the

per capita averages approximately ST.

The Usage Indians are the best

also the best physical specimens. 1t

MANY VARIETIES or SHARK
Some Sea Monsters More TO Be Feared
Than Others, but All Ferocious
to a Degree.

There are many families and varle-
ties Of the shark. Some OF these tam
lilies are smaller, more coWardly ana
less successful as killers than Other
families, says the Kansas City Star
They are not especially fierce toward
things that are bigger and stronger
than they. The dusky sharks and the
sand sharks are not believed to be man
killers, but they are man eaters when
the opportunity arrives.
The largest and 1iercest shark is the
great white shark. His disposition Is
to Kill and eat, and he is so large and
strong and self-contident that he will
attack anything that swins, and man
is little more than a minnoW or her
ring to him. The great White shark
inhabits the tropic and subroplc seas.
The normal length of the teeth is one
inch and they are fiat, triangular and
saw edge Many of these sharks have
been killed that were 30 feet long.

Saws Hearts Really Break.

Poets and romance writer's for ages
have been on firm ground when they
have pictured broken-hearted swains
and maidens.
According to DR.. Strickland Goodall,
a noted heart specialist, it is a physl-
illogical fact that hearts do break. But
he says, JOY and not woe or hard work
is more frequently the cause Of
broken heart. In his long experience
he has found that emotion rather than
hard work has been responsible for
broken hearts.
Don't get into temper" says DR..
Goodall, because it increases the
hearts work by seventy-two foot
pounds Running upstairs is foolish,
because the increase Is 152 foot
pounds. If man spends one day In
bed weekly he saves his heart 998, 4OO
foot pounds"

BUY IT IN BRUNSWICK.

People sometimes tell the home
merchant that he does not sell as
eheaplAt as METROPOLITAN stores OF
mail order houses in more or less dis.
| tant cities.
Any person wishing to compare the
two scales of prices should inquire
whether the distant store was selling
the same goods. Second-grade prod
ucts can be made to look very hand
some in a catalog cut. But the home
merchant cannot float that kind of
goods. They come back to his store
too easily.
1t is amusing to see the bother peo-
pie will take for trifing sums they
think they ares aving. They will trav-
lei many miles, spend street car fares,
pay for luncheons, hotel bills and tips.
They get tired and foot-sore tramping
around overgrown stores separated by
long distances. They wait for change,
carry, bundles and pay express. They
pay a high price in money and energy
fer supposed economies.
When you buy goods away from
home you rarely take them back. The
bother and expense looks prohibitiye.
When you buy at home you would re-
turn them if dissatisfied This takes
the time of clerks, frequently the
goods have been injured while in your
hands.
Where it is 50 easy to return goods
the customer must be given booh the
worth of money, and something suited
10 his needs. A higher grade of sales
people is thus required in the home
store To make sale that will stick
so near home, the customer must be
given intelligent advice.
Thus the public demands from the
home store more competent service
than it exacts from the distant mer-
chant This means additional expense.
which is counterbalanced by lower
rents and like economies. When you
consider how generously the home
store responds to all kinds of de
mands, reasonable and unreasonable,
the range OF its prices is remarkably
low.
