Why do we spend so many thousands

Increase in the comfort and happiness
Of working men and women.
The big thing Is that there are just

the man who asks usually has to dig
for his own answer. Just this digging

WHY:
People Of Balkans Disregard
All Laws of Sanitation

Disease I'm the Balkans Is looked
upon by the people as u result of fate.
The peasantry has been educated In
superstition, rather than In the laws
Of sanitation. They are opposed to the
killing of mosquitoes. rats. flies and
vermin, believing that they are part of
life. They know nothing about the
carriers of disease. The Importance
of protecting their food supplies from
winged insects has not been impressed
upon them. Little or no attempt is
made 10 drain mosquito pools or
marshes, so that the Balkan States
claim the distinction Of having some
of the worst malaral sections on earth.
The peasant has little faith in medi.
cal science. "HOw can bug give us
typhus" they ask. "Every living
thing harbOrs insects. Why not man?
If the good God sends us disease and
misfortune We believe that He knows
best"
In most districts In the Balkans the
houses of the rural population are
PVOiiy uNlCu. hduy
of them are built of mud and straw
and have no provision for sanitation or
ventilation. The only air admitted to
the homes Is obtained through acci-
dental imperfections In construction.
few Of the houses have two stories,
the lower floor being occupied by the
horses and cattle. the upper by the
family. In such houses as these fam
lilies live crowded together under the
most unhygienic conditions.
Years pass without a doctor enter
Ing the huts. Disease goes untreated.
In the country districts dentistry 10
virtually unknown.
Bathtubs are rare In the Balkans,
even In the larger cities. The people
in that part Of Europe rarely wash.

treasury officials, who assert that It

The most valuable penny of Amer

lectOrs pay hundreds of dollars for

OF this coin Is alleged to be due to
the fact that Salem firm in 1900
collected all the pennies 1t could find,
bored holes In them and made neck
laces, arm ornaments and anklets and
these were sent with slave ships to
Africa, where they were traded to
chiefs for captives. The first penny
was issued in 1893 and was very SIM

How to Tell Real Mahogany.

You buy a mahogany" table, pay a
good price for 1t, and then begin to
wonder whether 1t is made of real
mahogany. Red gum can be made to
look so much like mahogany and Cir
cassian walnut that II is often sold
for one or the other of these woods.
How can you tell the difference be.
tween the false and the true? BY
looking at the cross-grain; if you can
see the pores with the naked eye, then
you will know that all is well. If you
can't see the pores without the aid Of
a magnifylng glass, then you will know
that you are In the presence of red

Even through varnish the pores of
mahogany and walnut are distinctly

The Average Hair Crop.

The Bible tells us that the hairs o"
our head are numbered, but 1t does
not tell us even the approximate num-
her to a square inch.
But some one has figured this out
for us. He counted the hairs in a
square inch on many heads.
On the average head there are a
thousand hairs to each square inch.
Find out the number of square inches
in your scalp and you will soon know
the approximate number of hairs on

We are also told that four hairs will
suspend a one-pOund weight. There

be able to support the combined
weight of two hundred people. Don't

PHRASE CREDITED TO JESTER
How Expression "A Bird In the Hand
Is Worth Two in the Bush"
Became Current.

Some of the cant phrases that fall
most trippingly from the tongue to-
day had origin many centuries ago,
and among them is the somewhat OBJ
viOus statement that "a bird In the
hand Is worth two in the bush," the
Detroit News observes. The start
of that remark Is credited to belled
jester in the court of registering King
Henry VIII, whose Job, If not his life
depended on his impudence, an inn
pudence that must needs combine wit,
stab and laughter, and while he was
given a wide latitude In his insults
to members Of the court, he had to
take close care not to let his stabs
reach the kingly pride Of the overly
thin skin OF whoever happened to be
favOrite at the moment.
Lord Surrey. .becurled dandy Of
the palace, one time presented the
jester with kingfisher, after he had
neatly barbed an enemy of Surveys
with his biting tongue and caustic wit.
A few hours later Lord Hamton, a
fellow of Surveys, set up great
wailing when he discovered the king
fisher. on which he had his own eye,
had been given to the court jester.
"Odds blood" roared Surrey. "Go get
ii from the jester, and tell the fool
I'll send him another some time soon."
But the fool refused to give up his
bird. and sent back word that, with
all due respect to his lordship, he held
that a bird In the hand was worth
two I'm the bush.

BEGINNING A NEW YEAR.

Though we are apt to think that
New Years has been observed since
the year one, such Is not the case.
In fact, there is no mention Of the
day as a Christian festival until the
fifth century, and even now the He
brews celebrate their New Years in
September, for their calendar is ar
ranged according to the new moon,
which makes New Years movable
holiday. Today. however, there Is
scarcely a nation but observes this
season of the year in some manner
or other. though customs differ in
most localities.
