influence on the dangers of the day,

who welcome rain are the husbands
and fathers Of the land, who seek
excuses for accompanying their wives
and children to places of so-called
amusement and who, by some strange
superstition, regard holiday as
period in which to rest. Rain is es-

profits depend on the assembling of
thousands of patriotic celebrators in

REMARKABLE DISCOVERY

DR.. Cruchet, of Bordeaux, in 6

Patients, he declares, realize such re-

ONLY ACTUAL WORKERS

Moscow, Oct. 23.-In elections of
delegates to the village, provincial
and government soviets proceeding
throughout Russia this month, a
large percentage Of the Russians

Henry Ford does not love Wal

comes perhaps the highest praise the

That publication credits Ford with
having eXpounded "the greatest

truth that seems generally to have
escaped observation" and with be-
ing literally "the most practical

increase opportunities for employ

Mortality of Trees.

Human beings cannot compete with
trees in the matter of longevity, but
human beings are more fortunate than
trees up to certain ages, according to
mortality tables. A forest at maturity
contains about per cent of all the
trees that have started life there. The
percentage of persons living from ten
to fifty is much greater in the case
of trees. About 95 per cent of our
trees die before they are eighty years.
