The first step in learning whether
your child is properly nourished, we
read, is to weigh the child in kilo-
grams. "a The Kilograms are very light,
we understand, but If absolute &C
curacy, is required, you may weigh
the child in them first, and then later
take 'em off and weigh EN- separately.
On second thought, we advise the sep
arate weight in all cases, especially
where the Kilograms are winter
weight.
Reading further. you multiply the
result by ten, and then divide the
result by the child's sitting height In
centimeters"-just everyday centime.
tiers will do-"and take the cube root
of the result. and you win have a fig.
ure that will tell you whether your
child is properly nourlshed." Most
any architect or engineer in the tele-
phone book will be glad to call and
find the cube root for you.-kansas

.Boozers Mast Tell Where They
Cot Their Hooch.

Atlanta, Ca, July 16.-A person
convicted of purchasing whiskey or
having the same in his possession
can be compelled to tell the court
from whom he obtained the same, if
the legislature passes a bill f%avorably
reported by the temperance COM
mittee.
The bill provides that a person
convicted of violating the prohibi-
ton law, either by purchasing whls-
key or having the same in his posses
sion, shall be asked by the trial judge
before sentence is passed, to tell the
name of the person from whom the
same vas obtained.
Should the defendant refuse to di-
vulge that information the bill pro-
vides that he shall be guilty of con-
tempt and shall be fined by the judge
not more than $50.
Certain exceptions are provided in
the bill to make it constitutional.
For instance, it provides that a hus-
band cannot be compelled to divulge
information against his wife, or a
wife against her husband. 1t pro-
vides that a person d~ivulging infor-
nation cannot subsequently be con-
victed on another count or the basis
Of that information.
The bill was sponsored before the
temperance committee by a delega-
ton of ladies representing the w. G.

TO MAKE HEADWAY IN LIFE
c~onsecrate and Concentrate, is the
Advice Given by Writer In
Forbes Magazine.

You want to make Roadway In the
world, Of course. See If this thought
can help you: First, %consecrate your
self to your calling; then concentrate.
The lives Of most men Of notable
achievement have been characterized
by conservation and concentration. Be-
fore one can consecrate oneself, n
must be possessed by some bigger and
broader and better idea than mere
o making. There must be some
thing In the work that appeals to one.
The work must appear to be worth
while, worth effort and industry and
sacrifice. You could not, for exam
pie, conceive of anyone consecrating
himself to "boot!egging." There isn't
one honest calling, however, to which
a worker could not consecrate him
self or herself if animated by the right
spirit. Having consecrated oneself to
a line of endeavor, then concentration
must follow If proficiency and success
are to be attained.
The worker. be he employee or en-
ployer, who hasn't consecrated him.
self to his calling fails to derive from
1t that deep satisfaction known to
those who have consecrated themselves
to their jobs. Concentration follows
conservation naturally and with JOY
rather than hard effort.-Forbes Mag
azine.

Observing Author About Right When
He Describes Conditions Under
Which All Live.

In his book, 1.-THE Conquest of Fear"
Basil King says:
"Loos at the people you run up
against in the course of q few hours.
Every one is living or working in fear.
1.-THE mother Is afraid for her chill
dren. The father is afraid for his
business. The clerk is afraid for his
Job. The worker Is afraid Of his boss
or his competitor.
"There Is hardly a man who is not
afraid that some other mar will do
him q bad turn. There is hardly a
woman who is not afraid that things
she Graves may be denied her, or that
what she loves may be snatched away.
"There Is not a home or an office OF
a factory or a school or a church In
which some hang-dog apprehension Is
not eating at the hearts of the men,
women and children who go In and
out.
II am ready to guess that all the
miseries wrought by sin and sickness
put together would not equal those we
bring on ourselves by the means which,
perhaps, we do least to counterfeit.
ave are not sick oil the time; we
are not SHINING all the time; but all
the time all of us-or practically all OF
us-are afraid Of some n or some
thing"

O, Interest to Bee Keepers.

Keep large, long-tongued bees, ad-
yises ]. n. Merrill, Of the Kansas State
Agricultural college. He has found
that the bees with the longest tongues
and the greatest body weight bring
home the most honey. To the Ameri-

clared It is possible to tell which col.

the most honey during a summer by
measuring the tongues, the amount OF
nectar, and obtaining the weight OF
forty bees from each colony in the
spring.

BETTER THAN ALL MEDICINE
Oysters Put Artemus Ward on His
Feet When Every Other Remedy

When Artemus Ward and DR.. Hing.

Western lecture tour, arrived in Salt
Lake City, after that amusing and
successful visit to California, the be-
loved humorist fell sick. So badly
was he, after his arduous rounds of
the Pacific coast and his strenuous
days in Virginia City, New. with Mark
Twain and Bill Nye, that his life was
despaired of.
The lecture Artemus had arranged
with Brigham Young to give in the
theater, had to be postponed. In fact,
so hopeless seemed the case that DR..
Kingston even tried to arrange to have
the body Of his friend and partner
transported to the East on the stage
coach. But the optimism Of Artemus
brought him back to safety again, o
very thin and weak man.
But before he was allowed to leave
his room, Artemus had difficulty gain

MEN OF GENIUS NOT SMART
English Professor Declares They Are,
In Fact, Extremely Slow to
Grasp a Point.

Defining j"smartness" as the capaci-
ty to adjust oneself rapidly TO the
Immediate circumstances, Prof. T. H.
Pear, University of Manchester, said
at the Educational associations annual
conference at University college, that
"a genius Is usually anything but
smart, and he distinguishes himself
from the merely smart man, who lives
up to the external demands, by refus-
ing to accept the surroundings, by set
ting about them instead Of allowing
them to set about him.
II believe that some geniuses might
not achieve the topmost ranks In a
good many mental tests, especially In
those requiring rapid solution Of prob
lens. A genius never sees any COM
plex problem in the same light as an
ordinary person and in a mental test
may appear to be stupid.
"Some brilliant scientists would
make woefully bad hospital orderlies,
district visitors or managers OF a
household. The reason is not that they
cannot attune themselves to the situa-
ton"
Professor Pear divided people into
two classes, the extroyerts and the
i~ntroverts. The extrovert won the
