First Maoic Lantern.

Takers in the old days were no less
quick than their present brethren to
take advantage Of scientific discover
les to fool the public. In 1916, one
Athanasius Kircher announced to the
few German scientists of his day that
he had discovered an instrument which
would throw large pictures of any
drawing or painting placed on it. upon
a white screen. He wrote quite d
treatise on this first magic lantern
and called it the "Arm Magma Lucis
ct Umbrae."
From a scientific point of view
Kircher's discovery did not make a
very deep impression. But half d
dozen travelling magicians some
how or other got hold of copies of
the first magic lantern. They trav-
eled far and wide through the coun-
try, and they not only scared the
peasants and small-town peoples out
of their wits, but by making a
speciality Of showing pictures of the
devil, of poor souls frying in purga-
tory and other unpleasant subjects.
they collected considerable sums in
return for the promise to keep these
evil spirits out of the homes of their
victims.

"Harum-S carum."

Harum-scarum is a perfectly good
word used in connection with a person
who is exceedingly wild, reckless or
thoughtless. The word probably origi-
mated from a combination Of the two
English verbs, hare" to excite or
worry, and scare" to frighten. Locke,
in his Essay on Education" uses
"hare" as a verb in this manner:
ITO hare and rate them Is not to
teach but to vex them"
In this country, it is generally sup
posed that "harum-scarum" is an
Americanization, due probably to
Washington Irving's use Of 1t In his
"Alhambra," where he wrote:
From a walk, the horse soon
passed to trot, from a trot to gall
lop and from gallop to harum-
scarum scamper."

Race of Toothless Men In India.

In the Hindu Anil community Of
Hyderabad Sind, in India, there has
been found type of men who have
no teeth. These men are further
characterized by bald head and an
extreme sensitiveness to heat. They
are known as "Bhudas," which lit
orally means 'toothless" The fol-
lowing facts have been learned about
them:
When such a man Ca "Bhuda") mar
ries a normal girl having both par
ents free from these defects, all the
children, both male and female, are
apparently normal-that is to say, ap-
parently free from the defect.
When the females marry normal
males, their female children are ap-
parently normal. while the male chill
dren are "Bhudas."
No case is known in which q tooth
less man has married the daughter of
a "Bhuda.'

RED eros HAS BEEN ACTIVE

MANY per ons think that since
the war is over the work of the
Red Cross has ceased, but this is
not true
While some forms of assistance
re no longer necessary to the
soldier, there are still many ways
in which the soldier and ex-sol-
der is being helped. 1t may be
surprising to the general pub c

were operated upon for the re-
moval of Tonsils and AdenoidS
for the nominal sum of $40. while
9 patients, WHOM ere unable to pay

cal expenses of the tuberculosis
Clinics held at different points in
the County in June, when huns
dreds of persons were examined.
Probably the greatest service
to the County is the follow-upI
work of the Tuberculosis Clinics.
The local Chapter of the Red
Cross has employed Miss Eliza
beth Pence Of Woodstock to visit
all active and suspicious cases of
tuberculosis, as reported by DR..
Brown at the Clinic. for the pur-
pose of distributing literature to
the suspicious cases and to en-
deavor to have the active cas- es
go to the State Sanitoria, the
local Chapter offering to bear the
Sanitoria expenses for those UNI
able to pay.
This work, which is being done
in cooperation with the County
Doctors, should mean much to our
people.
At the election Of officers which
ensued all of the former officers
were reelected as follows:

ReCapturing

Although it is not expressly so chron.

Because of woman's untiring guest

up great host Of "beauty specialists. -
The modern beauty parlor has become
IN institution in America, and literally
hundreds of tons of cosmetics are year

Through these agencies does femininity
strive valiantly to push back the ad-

from penning his autograph on their
faces.
However retaining youth is not ne
cessarily matter of "facials" or face

a matter of bodily elasticity.

Jokes In Architecture.

The builders Of the old churches In
England were not SO serious but that
they now and then perpetrated joke,
even in stone On more than one Of
their creations they carved in relief 4
scene representing monk preaching
solemnly to flock Of geese. The same
humorous spirit is sometimes to be
detected in the domestic architecture
Of early times. Here Is an instance:
Just upon the boundaries Of Bed
fordshire and Hertfordshire formerly
stood a rambling old farmhouse. The
living room was long and low, and
on the center beam that went across
the ceiling was inscribed this legend =:
IF you are cold. go to Hertfordshire.' u
This seemingly inhospitable invita-
ton was explained by the fact that
one-half Of the room was in one county
and one-half in the other. The fire
place was in Hertfordshire.

Windows Easily Broken by Blasts.


Explosions of powder or other SINH
lar materials often are very destruc-
tive to windows, even if they are at a
great distance from the point of ex-
plosion. When an explosion occurs air
waves are thrown off with great VIC
lence. Sometimes these air waves are
thrown back with such violence that
buildings in the immediate vicinity Of
the explosion are destroyed.
The force of the air waves acts in
all directions at the same time and
with equal force. Very often these air
waves are thrown for great distances
and, while the houses in its path are
strong enough to resist their violence,
the windows are shattered because
they cannot withstand the high pres

Even as you and y
On a'forest trail where the leaves were
fit
To become ablaze from the smallest BIZ
OF spark-and the fool he furnished il
Even as you and ~
The forest was burned to its very roots,
Even beneath the ground,
With the flowers, the birds and the
poor dumb brutes,
Old hoary oaks, and the tender shoots
Which might have made logs but for
such galloots,
Allowed to wander around.
The lumberjack has now passed on,
His payday comes no more,
And the screech owls haunt the camp
at dawn
Where The cooks tin pan woke the
men of Drawn;
But the mill is,silent, the trees are gone,
The soil and forest floor.
A deadly sight are those hills of rocks
Which once were beds of green
No hope for the human, no food for
the flocks;
While the harbor is silted to the docks
The ships no more are seen.
But the fools smoke on in the forest
still,
Leave camp-fires burning too,
While the patient public pays the bill
And the nations wealth is destroyed

| keep your body elastic into the far
reaches of the years. But there IS a
way in which you can keep the newt
able rigidity of age from interfering
| with the transmission of vital energy
throughout your body.
Interference with transmission of
vital energy usually occurs at the spine.
1t is here that all the main trunk lines
of the nerve system pass through and
between the movable bones of the
spinal column.
The sciences Of Chiropractic concerns
itself with keeping these spinal bones
in place so that they do not press
against the nerves and interfere with
transmission of vital energy. The rig
idity of age constantly tends to displace
the spinal bones. Chiropractic corrects
the defects.
If you would have youth, health and
beauty, have a Chiropractor keep your
spinal bones adjusted properly. More
