ADVENTURES OF
THE TWINS
A EAVoR.
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

A FAVOR.
| Nick had an idea. He had been
thinking hard all the time that Mr..
Flatfish Founder was talking about
! losing Ids fine dinner in the fish net.
He spoke up now. Very well, Mr..
F'1ounder, you may have your dinner,
but you'll have to get it for yourself
Cap'n Pennywinkle only wants khe
net anyway. / didn't know that it
was SO full of things"
Thereupon Nick suddenly released
his hold upon the fish net and all the
shrimps and prawns and crabs, and
the rest OF them streamed out into the
sea. And you may be sure that It
didn't take them a day and half to
get out of that. Off they slxidaddled
i.in all directions, calling their thanks
to the Twins over their shoulders,
while old greedy Mr.. Flatfish swan
round lashing his tail in a fury.
"Here, nowl" he cried, Just see
what you've doneI You've ruined my
luncheon completely. Didn't you know
that the net you are taking away with
you is my dining room know how 10
get into it and how to get out and
three times a day go and feast on
Mr.. Fisherman's catch. What shall I
do now?
You'll have to hunt your dinner"
said Nancy calmly. And I think you
ought to thank US. for sometime soon
er or later, Mr.. Fisherman would have
hauled you in when you weren't look
ing, and that would have been the end
of YOU"
"oh," said Mr.. Founder, I'm not
good to eat. Mr.. Fisherman doesn't
want me, you may be sure"
Perhaps they'd put you in a glass
case for folks to stare at" suggested
Nick.
But Mr.. Founder swan away with
out replying, wiggling his whip Of a
tail In contempt.
The Twins took the net to Cap'n
.Pennywinkle, glad that they had been
able to do the shrimp and prawns
favor.

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM &. BARTON
MERCER SCHOOL MAIAMs.

MERCER SCHOOL MA'AMS.
This is the way it was told to me
and it was a good story when heard
it:
In 1866 Asa Mercer went from
Seattle to Boston to buy goods. Seattle
was young in 1866, and Asa Mercer
and his brother were of her leading
citizens. For one of them is Mercer
Island named, and if that island were
much larger there would be no Lake
Washington
Asa Mercer bought for himself and
other Seattle folk goods in such guam
tity that he chartered a schooner to
convey them home; and the Panama
Canal was not then in good working
order.
/ There was room for passengers, and
he filed the boat with schoolma- anns.
He told the young women of New
England that they could get better
wages in Washington than in Massa-
chusetts, and that was no lie. They
pay better wages now to school teach
ers there than in the east.
How many young women he sailed
with I do not know. He appears to
have had no difficulty in loading the
vessel full. 1t required five months
to round Cape Horn and reach San
Francisco, and some of the girls were
ready to go ashore by the time they
arrived in that port He reached
Seattle with about 40 % them still
on the boat.
I am told that every one of those
40 girls was engaged to be married
before she got off the dock I suspect
that some people will think this state
ment an exaggeration, and they must
reckon with Judge Everett Smith, who
Mold me the story I refuse to censor
1t or to admit that two or three of
them may have waited for a week or
two The story as I heard it is highly
creditable to the mon of Seattle, and
I prefer to leave it as it was tola
to me.
Those young women did some teach
ing. How much they did, I do not
know. But they became the mothers
Of Seattle. They married men Of
character and enterprise. and their
children rose up and called them
blessed.
The more I think about this Incl
dent, the more it seems to me that
Seattle has done well to honor the
name of Asa Mercer. I believe that
1t is for certain civic and commercial
achievements that he is chiefly re-
membered, but 1 doubt if he ever did
anything else so potent for good as
in the collection of that fine bunch
of schoolma' ans and taking them from
New England where they We're not
needed to a place where there were
children waiting to be taught and
young men waiting to establish homes
IF there should be another cargo
of that sort, I think I could find
captain for the cruise. But every
captain must look up his own cargo
as Asa Mercer did.
1t is quite possible that the school
ma'am in your own home district,
perhaps beginning her first term this
fall is every whit as good a teacher
and just as pretty a girl, and is
capable Of being just as good a wife.

Asa Mercer conveyed to Seattle.

Common Sense Ways to
Keep Well
KEEP ARTERIES YOUNG
~ DR.. 4. ~ BISHOP


There is more truth than we realize
in the saying that man is as old as
his arteries. No one can avoid grow
Ing old, but any one can avoid grow
ing old premAturely. The business
mans manner of living today is so
conducive to premature hardening of
the arteries--the first sign of irnpend-
ing old ageEthat ne above all others
IS most prone TO acquire it.
Even our best type of business man
IS living too rapidly, putting every
thing including his health, aside for
the interests Of his business.
He eats too fast. He throws into
his system. without realizing it, ex-
cessive foods and fluids, combined fire.
quentky with poisonous products which
cause at an early age hardening of
the arteries. He neglects his bowels,
causing absorption of poisonous prod
ucts from the intestines ultimately re-
suAting in a rise of blood pressure.
Fke gets too little exercise and worries
elbout his work
The average blood pressure for the
Ihealthy person is 100 plus his age. A
blood pressure which continues to run
between 200 and 2SO is certainly too
high.
A first step in reducing high blood
pressure is to reduce the eating of
| heterogeneous foods or what are called
proteins. This includes milk, eggs,
meat, fish and cheese. Confine your
self largely to a diet of fresh vege-
tables and fruits. all Of which are poor
in nitrogen. Next, find some form of
exercise, preferably out of doors. that
will be also form of recreation. Get
at least eight hours of undisturbed
sleep each night.
Moderation in daily living Is really
the keynote in preventing hardening
1 Of the arteries
There is nothing so restful to the
business mans overtaxed body and
brain as hobby" It may be siren
uous and yet be restful for it con-
stitutes a change In mental and phys
zeal occupation.
If a man has hardening of the art
cries and knows it, he does not need
to think he is going to die. Simply
begin Systematically to practice those
rules of living and hygiene that tend
to reduce high blood pressure.

WHAT is A DOLLAR WORTH

You spend a dollar and wonder how
much OF it goes to the fellow who act
ually produced what you buy Con-
gresham Sidney Anderson also Won
dered. 1t worried him. He investi-
gated.
Andy says his findings show that
the consumers dollar goes as follows
81 cents for cost Of production, Il
cents for profit, 40 cents for service. !"
Service, however. includes packing,
transportation. selling Expenses, IN
surance, rent, wages and overhead.
Those cannot be done away with.
But something is radically wrong when
it costs a third more to get commodi-
ties to consumers, not counting prof
it's, than it does to produce them.
Remedy? Only one. Get consumers
closer to sources of production. Break
up the cities. Back to the farm! Move
the factory into the country.

themes of opponents to trade unionism
to estimate, periodically. how much
the workers have lost and to point out
how they are duped by dishonest
leaders.
"This method of estimating the So

NEW DOCK
IN OPERATION

For the first time since its install
lation the new 10000 ton dry dock
of the Perth Amboy Dry Dock Com
pany has been given a test that
proves it to be all that was expected.
Yesterday afternoon the 402 foot
steamer Provincetown, the property
of the United States Shipping Board,
was hauled upon the new dock for
repairs. This ship has a dead weight
of 9,400 tons, gross weight of 6,216
tons and net weight of 1906 tons.
After the ship had been f1oated into
the dock it took but one-half hour
to raise the vessel from the water
so that the mechanics could begin
work on 1t.
Although the dock has been used

before, a car float and barges hav-
ing been hauled on IL, the real test
did not come until yesterday. The
dock is 1T feet wide and 462 feet
long and can take a vessel 500 feet
long, this is SO feet longer than the
one hauled yesterday. With this
dock in operation, the Perth Amboy
Dry Dock Company will hereafter
be able to handle ninety-five per
cent. of the steamships that come to
this country.
The dock was built by the United
