TRACED TO GAME OF TENNIS
Origin OF Common Phrase, "Frcm PHI
lar to Post" Believed 20 Have
Been Solved.

To tennis we owe the phrase ITO
drive from pillar to post" though its
exact meaning has not been traced.
Ernest Weekly writes in the COnhilI
Magazine, London. The allusiOn Is TO
the driving Of the tennis ball. and the
earlier order, found "a Lydgate. was
"from post to pillar" This was invert-
ed to facilitate the stock rhyme with
'tossed.r In the old play .Liberality
and Productivity" (16O2). character
is described as
Every minute tost.
Like a tennis ball. from pillar to post.
In John Marston's comedy "Whaf
You WILL" the phrase is used OF bat
tledore and shuttlecock, the context
suggesting that the -pillar" and "post"
were names given to the two ends
of the court. The following explana-
ton has occurred to me as possible.
1t Is known that modern games have
developed from simple beginnings; for
example, fives WAS originally played
against any convenient wall, and the
pepper box" of q modern hyes court
Initiates one of the buttresses OF Elton
college chapel. Tennis Is supposed to
have sprung from rudimentary ball
game played with simple apparatus
in the courtyards and mansions and
castles. The entrance gate and tho
front door would naturally be adopt
ed as the two ends Of the court. the
piflars of fha ono and tha noSta 0fstha
other serving as boundaries.

EXPOSED

The Independent Woman for an interview on the subject Of

suffrage is won.
In making this request the New York editor blundcrcd. II would

The editor got his interview. Also he got an editorial in the
current number of The Independent Woman whrh not only ans
wcrS his question with satisfying lhoroughncSS, hut which exposes in
all their horrible detail the utter and miserable failures of mere man
in man-handlng the affairs Of the world.

Men have been doing ~" world housekeeping. hiring The ser.

administration of men, from the Garden of Eden to the present day
has been inefficient, waNctul and Intellectual. The world is living
beyond It's means, is heavily in debt. and is facing economic disaster
and financial ruin.
Now the women feel tha, they can do better than men have
done. Al least they can do no worse. World housekeeping is M
more a job fI men alone than home housekeeping is q job for wo
men alone. Both should be on a cooperative basis.

CHECK UP YOUR HEALTH

A MERCHANT who failed to check up his business at regular pc.
u RODS in order to know the exact status and strength thereof
= Z, would be regarded as a very unsafe risk and he probably would
not last very long Yet any number of men in any number and in
endless variety of occupations permit their greatest asset to remain
unchecked, uninvcntoricd and a wholly unknown quantity from
month to month and from year TO year, in thoughtlcss rccklessness
of consequences.
According to the vital statistics Of the great life insurance or
CARNATIONS the death rate among males in this country is twice as
great at forty as il L is at twenty.
This means that 80 per cent Of the vital resistance is gone at that
early age, AN age when a man is supposed TO be at the height of his
powers, an age when his vitality should he at least equal to that of a
man of twenty. Why isn't it? Infections, poisons, mental sran.

too little food, badly balanced dict-a long list of causes, most of

right remedial measures, checked up and kept right by means of
periodic examinations, forms a combination that would insure a full

A NnHSsAGE TO CMILDREN

Luther Burbank, the greatest au-
thority on pltns and flowers in the
world, spoke to the children in his
home town, Santa Rosa, California,
on his 10th birthday: What Is my
message to you? II shall be nothing
unless a. will help YOU and make a
little more sunshine in your lives. We
should learn TO keep both mind and
body clean, and be sure not TO crowd
all our enjoyment into youth alone,
selhshness, envy. jealousy, III tenn
per and grouehiness, cigarettes ana
strong drink will destroy strong con
stitution. We are mostly born selfish
little animals. and if we remain such,
friends, happiness health, wealth ana
contentment viii torsake as. u we
learn to live, and help everybody be
ing kind. obliRing, earnest and truth-
full the very forces Of nature are on
our side. and the world Is a little
Paradise. instead OF bondage OF pain
and bundle Of regrets The game o.
life Is . splendid one II you play far,
Let us Law up sunshine, happiness ana
health for a rainy day
