PAYS TO PAINT AND vARNIsH
Apart From Improved Appearances,
the Economy of Such Proceeding
Should Be Apparent.

When the floor coverings and win
dow hangings are removed in the
spring there is no better medium Of
cleanliness than fresh coat of paint,
varnish or enamel+they stand in front
ranks as the best sanitary agents
known.
AS a medium for saving the surface
and conserving property-painting and
vanishing has been demonstrated as
an investment of the first order and
its economy is recognized by all
thoughtful citizens. Every dollar in
vested in paint and varnish saves sew
eral dollars in depreciation. Paint and
varnish prevents the expense of re-
pairs which arise from lack of proper
surface protection. If all property
owners fully realized the loss which
takes place when painting and var
nishing is postponed, they would be
inclined to paint and varnish more
regularly.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address

Is the time to renew it. Fork over
the thin spots, working in some good
fertilizer, such as pulverized sheep
manure, and after leveling the ground
sow good grade of fine lawn grass
seed. Rake in the seed, and finish with
the roller. The remainder Of the lawn
should also have attention. Rake it
first to pull out all dead growth, and
top dress with good fertilizer. Moss
in the lawn is a sure indication of
sour soil; this can be remedied- by a
dressing Of lime after first having
raked out as much of the moss as pos
sible. Lime is, however, best applied
in the late fall, following with a
dressing of quick acting fertilizer iD

Long SIGHT.

Guesses are being hazarded at the
length of range of human vision.
Forty-five miles has been suggested as
a good radius, but geographers have
calculated that ten times that distance
is within range from Mount Everest
when you get there. Yet these COM
putations deal only with horizons. Our
actual range of vision appears to be
iimitless, extending to the farthest'
star, which is big enough and bright
enough to make an impression on the

into many millions of miles, at an ey-

Other experiments were done walking

The explanation was that the free ad-

muscles and helped to get rid Of waste

OF the United States, constructed large
calorimeter capable Of measuring to a
nicely the amount Of heat given off by a
man living in it. This was paid for by
the United States Government. It proved
that the energy expended by a man in do
ing any work, such as bicycle riding, is
exactly equal to the energy set free by
metabolism in the body. Similar results
to those shown by the calorimeter can be
obtained approximately by the bag used
in DR.. Hills experiments,
DR.. Hill had already proved that hot,
close air reduced digestion and metabol-
ism and would, II carried to an extreme,
as everybody knows, stop all digestion and
cause serious trouble. These new expert
ments proved that fresh, cool, moving salt
air would double the assimilation of food
and increase the energy Of the body seven
times or more.
The doctors explain this increase in
metabolism principally by the effect of
the sea air on body tone" The cool,
breezy, saline sea air caused a wholesome
tightening up Of the muscles and arteries.
This process produced contraction Of the
stomach, which caused an effect similar
to hunger, and an increased flow Of the
digestive juices from the glands Of the
stomach and intestines. Thus there was
general speeding up of the entire ma

1T was considered remarkable that A. c.

total Of $4,000 per day, showing that his

he walked one mile in sixteen min
utes along the sand in his bathing

when IN his bathing costume his
pulse 'and temperature were lower
than in the preceding experiment.
His body heat production was 6.91
calories per second per square cen

pared to 500 calories in the

"e on 'he Ciins OF DatnlnS IN the sea.
The presence Of ozone in the sea air, a
condensed form Of oxygen, was found to
assist the increased metabolism The
ozone caused burning up of impurities in
the blood and tissues and stimulated the
alimentary system to build up new
tissues.
But new surprises awaited the scien-
lists. The figures for energy, heat pro-
duction and metabolism obtained while
their subjects we're bathing we're FIVE, six
and seven times as high as the resting fig.
ures. Thus the student L. H., who pro-
duced 1.35 calories Of body heat per sec
ond while resting, produced 4.63 per sec
ond while padding in the water A calory
is the heat required to raise two pounds
of water three degrees Fahrenheit. A
diet producing 1862 calories per day is
considered sufficient for a strong man.
Swimming caused greater increase of
metabolism than any other exercise Thus
c. p. who produced 123 calories of body
heat while resting and 4.S5 calories while
padding, produced 70S calories while
swimming. In other cases the increase
was even greater
The increased metabolism while in
swimming was mainly due to the splendid
muscular exercise affecting the whole
body, and the effect of the cold salt water
on the skin, calling for increased activity
of the heat-producing mechanism Of the
body and tightening up the entire machin-
cry Of the system.
1t was interesting to note that swim
ming was the most stimulating and bene-
fetal Of all exercises tested. This is, of
course, an economical sport and within
the reach Of the poorest person who goes

Even without swimming, however, meta
bolism was largely increased by contact
with the water. The scientists were par
ticularly interested to find that meta
bolism was greatly raised by shivering
when the water was very cold.
Shivering they found to be a natural
muscular action designed to overcome
cold. It is a very thorough, all-round mus
