1akinn Stock Of oneself.

The head is the big factor in the
measuring up of business. Many a
fellow has learned a routine that puts
him in a class by himself when 1t
comes to doing things. But to meas
ure up in the fullest sense one must
not only meet routine but forge ahead
and do that which is new. Here is
where the head comes in. 1t helps
fellow manage himself and put his
best into the job. When he can do
this he can manage others and get
them doing better than they have ever
Cone before. This self-mastery is the
best asset in directing affairs that
require several hands. Instlnctively
they learn TO respect the leader who
manages himself and they find 1t to
their interest to stand by him. The
head is the big thing in making team
work effective.

SAW STEAMBOAT AS ENEMY
Sailors and Fishermen Alike Dreaded
Power Of Which They Had No
Comprehension.

When FultOn's steamboat, the Cler-
mont, made her maiden trip on the
Hudson river in 1907, 1t frightened
more persons than il interested. Fish
ermen and small boatmen TO a man
believed ii to be some horrible mon
ster. and headed for shore as fast as
they could go. and once on land ran
at top speed into woods and fields
TO hide. Crews Of larger sailing ships
were no better, and many schooner
was deserted and left to drift down
stream as the snorting, clanking,
smoke-tossing Clermont appeared.
Later it was made known along the
river what the thing was. and there
at once arose a great wave OF hate
instigated by boatmen who saw their
business ruined. and by fishermen who
were sure the noise of the steamboat
would drive the fish to sea. Added 10
them were hundreds of religious fa-
natics who declared the boat was the
work OF the devil and flying in the
face OF Cody SO acute did this dis
like grow that attempt after attempt
was made by large sailing ships to
run the CIermOnt down. The state
legislature had to pass a special law
making II a criminal offense to at
tempt TO injure the boat.

FACTS ABOUT MILK AS FOOD
As an Article Of Diet There Are Many
Things That Are Not Properly
Understood.

The use of milk as food has been
so extensively exploited by the milk
interests that there exists a somewhat
erroneous idea about 1t which a re-
cent speaker, before the American Ped
iatric society, is endeavoring to cor
rect.
These errors principally concern the
group of children between the ages of
] and years. These errors might be
classified under the headings: %
Prolonged use OF milk as an exclusive
article of diet. CD Increased guam
titles OF milk given along with other
foods.
Milk might not only be used too
long as an exclusive article of diet and
in excessive quantities with other
foods, but its nutritional value might
be injured by boiling. 20 ,tl
The laity were taught. and rightly
So that milk was an ideal breeding
place for germs. and that the growth
of these germs might be inhibited by
Keeping the milk on ice, or the milk
might be brought to a boil. The use
of boiled milk was becoming more
prevalent. and many injuries to nutri-
tion occurred.

The old method Of administering
an emetic in case OF poisoning has
given way to lavage of the stomach
which is claimed TO have many adj
vantages over the older process. This
flushing of the stomach must be thor
oughly done and water must be taken
at close intervals until about 10 pints
have been consumed. This is fol-
lowed by quantity OF animal char

HOW BLAINE SAVED GARFIELD
Small Circumstance That for the
Time Preserved the President
From Assassin's Blow.

Due to- the seemingly small detail
that he was admitted promptly to the
home of Secretary Blaine when call
ing the evening preceding the PreSi-
dents assassination, James A. Gar
field probably owes his lease of life
for II hours longer.
On the evening OF July 2. 1881, the
President. as he approached the
Blaine home. was espied by the secre
tary, who was seated at a window.
Blaine hurried TO the door and had
it opened when Garfield arrived at
the threshold. In the light of evil
dence brought out at the trial. Gui-
teau was dogging the Presidents foot
steps that evening and intended to
fire when he waited for the Blaine
door TO be opened.
Blaine walked home with the Pres
ident, and the assassin, again lying in
wait, could not bring himself to fire in
the dual presence. Before the two
parted it was arranged that Blaine
should accompany the President next
morning to the railway station. The
President intended 10 leave for Will
liams college to attend an anniversary
celebration.
Soon after the arrival Of the presi-
dental party at the waiting room of
the old Sixth street station OF the
Pennsylvania railroad. Sixth and B
streets. Guiteau fired the shot that
caused Garfield's death.

FEAR GHOST OF BIG WOODS
Reported Appearance Of "Stiek ST.
wash" Causes Indians to Abandon
Hunting Grounds Precipitately.

The "Stick SiwaSh" has returned to
haunt the trapping grounds north OF
Fort st. James Terror stalks the will
derness trails and panic grips the In
dians. If a brave hears the crackle
Of twig in the woods he looks about
him In fear that this ghost of the big
woods is dogging his steps. A num-
ber OF Indians. ii is said. have been
frightened on their trap lines.
Fort st. James Is one OF the oldest
posts in British Columbia owned by
the Hudson's Bay company. II was
founded In 1906 by Simon Fraser, the
pioneer explorer for whom the Fraser
river was named. Several hundred
Indians live about the fort and market
their furs there.

Other Indians have brought back
the same story from the Manson creek
region. The "Stick Siwash" has long
figured in the traditions of British
COlumhio frihaS The namQ means
ghost of the big woods. "Suck" is
slang for forest and "Siwash" is
corruption of the French word "Sau-
wage" and Is applied to all the Indians
of the Pacific coast. The superstitious
natives believe the appearance of the
apparition presages misfortune to the
tribes.

Americas Meat-Eaters.

Take it the world over and the an
nual consumption of meat amounts to
80 pounds per capita. Here in these
Emitted States. however. the figure rises
10 $50 pounds a head, declares the
Los Angeles Times. The American
is the worlds champion meat eater.
The average citizen of the United
States will every year eat more than
his weight in red beef. The English
man is supposed TO be a terror In
the meat line, but he only takes on
an average of 100 pounds year. or
course. the vegetarian will insist that
the Americans are the lowest type of
civilization and are a feeble, pulse
less people tottering TO the grave. But
n they can do what they have done
under the incubus of $50 pounds of
beef every year. what could they not
accomplish If they would only leaye
meat alone? The people who have
banished booze from the land should
now arise in their might and absolve
America froms the curse of hlet
mignon.

Decorative Church Windows.

The art of glass decorating is not
a modern Bohemian accomplishment.
The Roman Cathedral OF Prague con-
tained, in 1916, two windows which

us, who subsequently became Pope
Plus the Second and incidentally was
n very close student of contemporary
affairs of Bohemia, records that the
churches OF the CZechs possessed
many "high and wide windows which
were brightly and artistically decor
ated. and such style OF decorating was
not confined to the churches in the
large cities and towns, but even the
distant hamlets prided themselves on
churches containing windows orna'
mented in n similar fashion" The
curriculum of the division Of techni-
cal arts of the University of Prague
included courses in painting, wood
carving. and glass ornamentation. No
degree was ever conferred on a student
unless he could exhibit sufficient apti-
tude as glass man" or qualify in
"glassery." a practical demonstration

branch of the arts was held.

Complete reorganization Of the ad-

1t appears that the cost of admins
tration is about $500, 900. exclusive of
the pay and other expenses of the

Employees of the Canal Zone receive
much higher pay than government
employees in the United States proper.

cation here. A Prague dN4atch yes
terday to the Exchange Telegraph at
London said President Masaryk had
retired because Of ill health.
"President Masaryk has been i'll for
several weeks, but now is convalesc-
ing." said the legations statement.
Because he was engaged in the work
for Czechoslovak independence since
1914 and was at the helm of the state
for over two years. his physicians ad-
yised him to take a siX-Week rest.
This is planned to be spent on the
Italian island of Capri. f
THE reorganization of the Czecho-
slovakian cabinet is planned. and II
is expected that DR.. Edward Benes
besides being the minister of foreign
affairs, also will be at the head OF the
cabinet as minister premier. The
Czechoslovak republic has no vice
president and. according to the consti-
tuition during the illness or inability
Of the president .he minister premier
will act as his representative. The
reports about the resignation Of Presi-
dent Masaryk are probably founded
on these facts, which were misinter-

before the Senate finance committee.
asserting that the currency revalua-
ton provision of the measure would
serve ito put more government in
business than ever before and in di-
rect opposition to the advice of the
President"
Spokesman for the National Council
of American Importers told the COM
mittee that enactment tof this provi-
sion would turn the American market
over to Japan and set up a virtual
embargo against shipments from the
central European states. The cur
rency provision would apply duties
ranging from four to sixty times as
high as now in effect upon imports
from Czechslovakia. Poland, Italy,
Germany and Rumania and several of
the less important countries, it was
stated.
Discussing food imports. some OF
the witnesses said increased duties
would simply mean that the Ameri-
can people would pay higher price.
Most of the food shipments now re-
ceived, they said. are articles not pro-
duced in this country.
