Case Of italian Laborers One Of Many
Which Might Be Cited as
Evidence.

AS result of undernutrition
says DR.. Graham Luck, in an elabo-
rate study of the subject, there is a
decrease in the muscular efficiency
not only of paid laborers but also of
persons living sedentary lives, ac-
cording to the New York World.
The muscular activities which are
concerned with the normal preser-
Walton Of health become restricted.
The love of roaming and Of sport is
lost, children cease to play and a
person avoids as far as possible all
bodily exertion. The mood Of the
individual affects the result. Thus,
by special effort, one may overcome
the sensation of fatigue for GER
tain number of days in order to ac-
complish definite result, as does
the soldier who advances by magnifi-
cent forced marches in anticipation
Of victory. But this is a very differ
ent matter of comparison with the
accomplishment of work in the dull,
monotonous daily grind Of civilian
life.
During the World war certain
Italian farm laborers, receiving 45O |
gm- Of flour daily, accomplished
their work. When this ration was
cut to $50 gm- they refused to work |
The same apathy is true as regards
mental work. The love Of accom-
plishment, the power of perform
ance and the note Of personal initia-
tive, which under ordinary condi-
lions increase the assimilation of
food and favor muscular energy, are
absent

PLANTS THAT KILL ANIMALS.
vulture Lily Of 8orneo and Venezue-
Ian Death Orchid Are Stunned
by All Living Creatures.

AT least two plants are known
which, like the tabled upas tree,
have the power of killing large ami
mails One is the so-called vulture
lily of Borneo and Sumatra, which
stands six feet high and grows in
patches, each covering a space the
size of a large room. The leaves
are enormous, being ten to twelve
feet long.
The other, and even more terrible
plant, is the death orchid, which
grows in Venezuela, beyond the
headwaters of the great Orinoco
river This was discovered by an
orchid hunter, who was directed by
Indians to the lonely spot where this
amazing plant grew. He says the
odor was SO strong that he first per
ceived it miles from the place where
ne eventually found the plant. The
Indians refused to accompany him
farther, saying that to do SO was to
court certain death.
AT last he reached a point from
which he became aware of flowers Of
great size and gorgeous coloring,
glowing through the tree trunks
ahead. He was just able to crawl
away, and the next thing he knew
was being carried in a litter by his
men. For weeks afterward he was
seriously Ill, and nearly died from
the effects of the terrible fumes.

Prevention IS BEST METHOD
Wise Old Persian Had Right Idea Con.
!, eernino Disease, Long Before
Birth Of Christ.

7 Five hundred years before the birth
of Christ wise old Persian father
advised his son, Cyrus the Great,
that the thing to do Is to have ply
sicians prevent disease; In modern
language. keep two jumps ahead. So
the idea that there should be all-time
health officers to prevent disease is
not thing to be looked on as an in
nvatiOn.
More than twenty-five centuries ago,
q conversation like the following took
place between Cyrus and his father {:
II have heard and seen that those
states which seek for good health
educate their physicians, and that
commanders take with them ply
'sicians for the sake of the soldiers, "
said Cyrus. II. too, therefore, as soon
as my present expeditions were In
trusted to me, gave my attention to
the subject and thought that had
with me very competent physicians" "
] To which his father replied: "But
these physicians, my son, Of which
thou spcakest. are like members Of
| torn garments, and thus, they cure
those who have fallen sick. Thy chief
| anxiety should be to provide for
health, for thou oughtest to take care
to prevent the army from falling into
sickness Mt ALL"

Brooklyn Eagle. When a man reached
the stage in civilization where ne
ceased to depend upon his own efforts
for his livelihood and began trading
with his fellows he was confronted
with the need of weighing things In
order to determine the actual weight
of whatever he traded In.
The trade Of the world developed by
leaps and bounds over hundreds OF
years, but we did not have scales until
about 1881, when Thaddeus Fairbanks
Of Vermont made and patented the
first one. Before that time weighing
of heavy loads was done by crude
method. When weighing a load Of hay
the wagon with the hay was sus-
pended on huge steelyard, originally
fashioned during the days OF ancient
Rome. Fairbanks first scale was in
its essential principles the same as
are the scales Of today, and its sue
cess quickly spread over the world.
Orders poured in from every direction,
for his scales were not only more con-
venient than the old method OF hoist
ing the object to he weighed on a
steelyard but they were also more ac-
curate. With the steelyard, the actual
weight might be ascertained within
fifty pounds, whereas today. on scales
capable of weighing 100000 pounds,
the weight can he determined within
the smallest fraction Of an ounce.

FARMERS BENEFITED BY HIGHER PRICES
"Both farmers and business men are feeling
much better over the general situation" declares
Charles w. Pugsley, assistant secretary Of agricu
ture, in an article in Forbes Magazine.
"Busness men report increasing sales; bankers
say that farmers are paying off their debts. Be-
cause of the recent increase in farm prices, bus-
ness is picking up as rapidly could be expected
"Even the farmer is beginning to see decided
streaks of rose and gold along horizon that,
little while ago, was all dull gray. He says that
he has not much money left when he gets through
paying interest on his debts and his necessary
penses-both in the West and in the South they
told me that. But, in both sections farmers

will soon be in position to do some substantial buy

of the most remarkable increases in the prices of
farm products that the world ever saw. The value,

from to 124 per cent hay lying sluggishly at the
8 per cent line and sheep and lambs gamboling
to the 124 per cent plane. Corn and wheat in

farmer and it means much to American business,

1T MIGHT BE WORSE

Once upon time within easy memory could
pack our things in the old brown grip and roll
away at the rate of two cents mile. Then one
day along came the kaiser with his invincible army
and before it all over everything had started
for the moon, including railroad rates.
During the flush of our wartime prosperity we
failed to so much as frown at little thing like
expense. AS the pendulum swings back we begin
to realize what privilege it to buy tickets at
the two-cent rate, and we talk about and hope Tor
return of the good old days.
Here again, however, America has edge on
the peoples of Europe. 1t costs more to travel
there today, much more, than it does here and ne-
ther do the Europeans travel in the comfort that
is characteristic Of American lines.
The distance from Paris, France to Milan, Italy,
is 522 miles and the fare frst-class is $40.76 the
distance from Chicago to Buffalo is 525 miles and
the fare is 1881. The railroad fare from London
to Paris, 2S7 miles, is $3.50, while from Chicago
to Cincinnati, 2S5 miles, the fare is $1026. From
Paris to Rome is distance of 891 miles, and the
fare is $3.50, while the trip of 9OS miles from
Chicago to New York may be made at cost of
$32.67.
The average for all the mileage in Europe is rs
cents mile while in this country it is 3.6 cents.
When we stop to think that in Europe the pop
ulation is much denser than it is here and that la
Dor is far less expensive, can begin to realize
that passenger rates might be much higher, al
though that is reason why they should not be
lowered whenever returns to the railroad companies
warrant so doing.
