NO NEED FOR EARLY DEATH

Trouble to Earn 1t.

The death rate among males IN this
country is twice as great at forty as it
is at twenty. according TO The Nations
Business. This means that 80 per cent
Of the vital resistance is gone at that
early age, an age when a man Is sup
posed TO be at the height of his power,
an age when his vitality should be at
least equal to that Of a man OF twenty.
Why isn't il? Infections, poisons,

anced diet-a long list Of causes. most
of them traceable 10 the widespread
and fallacious notion that a man can
have health without working for it,
No man need accept the physical
limitations which apparently doom so
many to hit the downhill trail almost
before they have come TO the age that
should endow them with the fullest
physical and mental power. Right

to thousands who have long since

From Coal Gas.

An English engineer. Ernest Bury,
claims that he has succeeded in ex-
tracing ethylene alcohol from coal
oven gas on a commercial scale, says
the Scientific American. The practi-
cal working of the process at the Skin
ningrove works, where $500 tons Of
coal are carbonized per week. reveals
an average yield of 1.6 gallons OF al
cohol per ton of coal. The total weight
of coal reduced to coke in this country
during 1918 was 14,635. 600 tons, so
that the application of Mr.. Bury's
process to this quantity of coal would
yield 23,416,640 gallons of alcohol,
which would be available as liquid
fuel. Coal treated at gas works would
yield a further 100000 gallons, or,
taking alcohol and benzol together.
100000 gallons of liquid fuel per an
mum could be produced from the car
bonization of coal in this country
toward meeting the total requirement
of about 100000. gallons.

Innnnrfant TO Mothers
WHY MRS. LOT LOOKED BACK.
Reason Explained, but Today 1t Is tho
Man Who Usually Does
the Turning.

The mystery of why Lots wife
turned around. womanlike, after being
warned specifically not TO, was e2s
planned by Alexander Black, novelist,
at dinner of the Society OF Arts and
Science, New York.
Mr.. Black said Mrs. Lot merely
wanted to see if she was being fol-
lowed by a man. a
The subject of profound debate was
Marriage Is a Success. Yes? Nor
1t was discussed with lights turned
low under red shades
Mr. Black said it is now the man
who does the turning around and look-
ing back. usually slightly down.
"Over their faces come curiously
mingled expressions of bewildernenE
and amazement.
~ have seen them turned into Gym
les or into poets. I have seen them
turned from their direction and struck
by automobiles"

But, at last, the tables turned for
our little heroine. A queer kind
hearted rent collector, Pancks-a
painting little steam-tug of man, with
his putting and his pauses-had
learned to value the friendship of the
motherless girl, and so. having acct.
dentally discovered that her father
was the probable heir to an enormous
estate, had run down the clues until
finally the great wealth was turned
over to old Mr.. Dorrit.
Then away from the dreary prison
hurried the entire family.
Yet riches brought slight pleasure
to Little Dorrit. The much-changed
father became ashamed of his debtor
life, and with the now richly dressed
sister and the gambling brother, put
on many airs. The father even en-
ployed a chaperon named Mrs. Gen
eral to teach Little Dorrit society
manners.
Don't say father" declared this
lady, papa is a preferable word; 1t
gives a pretty form to the lips. Fa-
Their is rather vulgar, my dear. You
will find it serviceable in the forma-
ton of demeanor if you say to yo,--
self, on entering a room filed with
company, Papa, potatoes, poultry,
prunes and PRISM"
At this juncture the wealthy Mrs.
Merdle took an active part in the
Dorrits' lives. The chuekle-headed
son of the Merdles fell in love with
Fanny, and after their marriage Mr..
Dorrit put all his wealth into Mrs.
Merdle's schemes-for had not this
wonderful Merdle. through various
mysterious movements, made tremen-
dOus fortunes for himself and others?
BY a strange fatality Arthur, too,

ooh. she? Little Dorrit? She's
nothing; she's a whim Others"
And thus Mrs. Flintwinch, wife of
the crafty, crablike walking footman
of the household, introduced to Arthur
Clennam the name of the poor little
seamstress of the paralytic Mrs. Glen
nam.
He had noted her pale, transparent
face, quick in expression though not
beautiful in feature, except for its
soft hazel eyes. A delicately bent
head, tiny form. a shabby dress-it
must needs have been very shabby to
look at all so, being so neat-were Lit
tie Dorrit as she sat at work.
A strange presentiment came into
Arthur's mind that, in some way, this
gentle maiden was connected with
his history.
For 20 years young Clennam had
lived in China with his father. only to
return now, puzzled over q mysterious
watch which that father in the very
last moments of his life, had given
to his son, murmuring family and in
distinctly at the time: your mother"
Naturally Arthur had assumed that
it was intended for Mrs. Clennam,
whom he and the world supposed to
be his mother.
Inside the watch casing was an old
silk paper with the initials D \ +
worked into it III beads. 1t was mest
-hJft q nf
fathom it and the old woman would
not enlighten him. Was Little Dorrit,
to whom the stony Mrs. Clennam paid
such strange, unusual kindness, con-
nected with the mystery?
They grew to see more of each 9TH
er-the girl and the young man-and
Arthur learned that the generous lit
tie Amy Dorrit was supporting not
only her poor old father. who had
been condemned to a debtors prison,
but also her pretty, frivolous sister,
Fanny, and her wild, lazy brother Tip.
they were all allowed TO live with
their father In that dreary prison.
Little wonder that Clennam often
spoke kindly to her and that he helped
the family. But love had not yet
come to him-Ehough it had to Little
Dorrit. He heard the thrill in fstr
voice, he saw the quickening bosom,
and yet the remotest suspicion of the
truth never dawned upon his mind.
1t must be added here that Little
Dorrit had innOcently won the love
Of another man, the sentimental son
of the prison turnkey, small of stat
ure, with rather weak legs and very
weak eyes, gentle but great of soul,
poetical, faithful. If one were to
doubt his devotion he need only read
the inscription for his own tombstone,
which the romantic youth had COM
/ posed when Little Dorrit said mo" to
him. 1t ran thus:
