gian minister of railways by woman
of Renaix, who, to follow her occupa-
ton, is compelled to travel great
deal, has just been brilliantly solved
by him. The woman weighs $50
pounds, and she finds it impossible to
squeeze through the door of an ordi-
nary railway carriage. 1t was there
fore necessary for her to apply for per-
mission to travel in the baggage car.
This permission has now been granted,

receive while thus travelling and that
she will also allow herself to be
searched each time before leaving the
train.

IN MIDDLE LIFE.
Man Is Called Upon to Summon
Up Reserve Power.
Then is the Time That Opportunity
Seems Left Behind and Life
Holds Little More.

A biographer of Mark Twain asserts
that the middle years were the time Of
his testing. BY his power as writer
he rose rapidly. He was prosperous
and happy in his home life. He faced
a bright future, says writer in the
Arkansas Thomas Cat. Then came
the crash of the publishing company
in which he was heavily involved and
by which he was challenged to prove
his integrity. Mark Twain had con-
quered the giants of obscurity and
poverty that beset him in his youth.
He was now called upon to endure the
secondary strains of middle life.
Biographers say that such an expert
ence is not unusual. The middle years
are the dangerous years for many
men. The flush of the morning is
over and the heat of the day has ar
rived. Opportunities have come and
gone. Life has settled into routine
and a discipline. Habits have be-
come fast and hard, and the unknown
has little charm of mystery about it.
Life is challenge to youth. To those
in middle years it often appears dull
and monotonous, where duty has be-
come mechanical and work is without
great reward. Engineers say that
bridges, which will sturdily respond
to the impact of heavy load, often
sag and bend under the steady strains
of wear and tear, wind and weather.
The secondary strains are considered
more serious than sudden shock. HUI
man conduct is not altogether unlike
this. Characters that do not bend I'M
der the sudden shock of adversely or
poverty, wear down and lose their
resiliency upder the slow grind of the
middle years. The primary strains
stand revealed in sudden misfortune
or disaster. The secondary strains
inhere in dull routine and general
SOLDERING of life. They are the little
foxes that often spoil the vines of
accomplishment. They breed moods
of Indifference and moments of gloom.
In middle life it is, therefore, impera-
tive that individuals remember and
summon William, James principle Of
reserves. This great American teach
err demonstrated that most persons
live on the mere surface of their pow
er and never tap their reserves of en-
ergy. Great reservoirs of unused
power are hidden away in the depths
of the average human personality.
This comes forth only upon demand.
The athletes strength is shown not
so much by spurts of accomplishment
as by staying power. In moral ath-
letics staying power proves the stout
heart and brave spirit. When the sec
ondary strains begin to operate. the
reserves of human personality should
be summoned. For only the strength
Of the whole man can withstand the
constant wearing pressure of the mid
die years.

AVOID ALL CHEAP PADLOCKs
Docs Not Pay Car Owner to Try to
Protect Spare Tires With In
expensive Devices.

Tires are pretty expensive things to
trust to cheap padlocks. To the av-
erage person of honest proclivities, a
paddock is a paddock, and that is all
there is to it. But the crook, the kind
of individual who gets away with your
spare tires when you leave the car
standing on the street even for
short time, all padlocks are not pad
locks. Some are easy picking.
The point we are making is that it
does not pay to use cheap lock to
protect the spares. Get a good lever
lock which will not open when gently
tapped by the experienced lock ma
nipulator The kind of paddock that
is acquired for the equivalent of a
couple of carfares is not the kind to
use as a guardian for anything so ex-
pensive as an automobile tire. This
is a case where economy and cheap
ness do not go hand in hand.-Motor

BENT RIMS CAUSE OF
TROUBLE IN CASINOS
Motorists Advised to Watch Both
Tires and Carriers.

Bent rims are direct cause of rim
cuts, of tires blowing from the rim and
of the breaking Of the wire cables at
the base Of the tire. Oftentimes mo-
torists cannot understand why tires
should blow when they are driving
along slowly. The facts of the case
are that the overstrained carcass has
reached the limit of it's endurance from
previous abuse and has given away.
Many motorists, were they to ex-
anime the wheels on their cars, would
be surprised to notice that their rims
are bent along the edges. These bent
rim f1anges are ordinarily little thought
of, yet they cause good percentage of
tire trouble.
When the wheel hits a frog, or
switch of a street car track, or hole
in the road, there is tendency to
tlatten the rim, especially if the tire
is underinf1ated. The rims support,
however, is essential to the life of
tire. II it is bent SO that it does not
fit the tire and allows the side walls
to bulge, the motorist may know that
trouble is to be expected unless he
takes immediate precautions.
BY truing-up their rims, motorists
may prevent much tire trouble. And
half the pleasure of motoring is free
dom from this trouble. A good rule to
follow is to have both tires and rims
inspected fortnightly. When rim
trouble is found, it may usually be cor
rected by careful tapping with bail
hammer

buy only enough for the household
needs. Farmers Bulletin sos, How
to Select Foods. l. What the Body
Needs" will help her determine these
needs. When strict economy is nee
essary she can learn from this bulletin
how to choose the less expensive from
each of the various groups of foods
that together provide adequate nour-
ishment. These less expensive foods
are often the common everyday prod
ucts which constitute the farmers
main crop; steady demand for them
stabilizes the farmers market and
benefits everybody.
One way to avoid wasteful. purchas-
ing is to know how much of each
kind of foOd-butter, sugar, -four, cof-
fee, vegetables, cereals, ETC., is needed
each week. By shopping only once or
twice a week and giving larger orders
great deal of time is saved and one
may often take advantage of better
prices. Comparison of prices, values
and quality in different stores is an
advantage when it is possible. Prod
ucts in season are likely to be cheaper
than out of season delicacies. Buying
by weight is now required for most
fruits and vegetables; when staples
come in cartons the customer should
estimate the cost of the goods by the
pound.

GROWTH CYCLES OF HEIFERs
Young Dairy Animals Pass Through
Three Distinct Perlods-Fesd

Breeders Of dairy cattle commonly
believe that the rate Of growth Of
their stock is more or less uniform,
but at a gradually decreasing rate as
the animals reach maturity.
From the large amount Of data
available on the normal growth Of
dairy cattle. the interesting and
scientifically important fact that the
dairy heifer does not make a uniform
gain in weight during the growth
period, but that the gains are made in
spurts or cycles has been discovered
by the department of dairy husbandry
OF the Missouri College of Agriculture.
1t has been found that the dairy
COW passes through at least three such
cycles Of growth. The first tspurt or
period of very rapid growth occurs
before birth, during the fifth and sixth
months. The second squirt of growth
begins about two months before birth

Milk Soup. Are Especially Good for Everybody

There Is something unusually ap-
petizing about good, steaming soup,
whether served as the first course of
meal or as whole meal In itself.
The South has its gumbos, and Maine
Its chOwders, fulfilling the same pur-
pose. Ocean travellers expect pea
soup as part of ship routine; they
look for barley broth In Scotland,
pot-au-feu in France, minnestrone
soup In Italy, bean or lentll soup near
the Rhine. In every household the
extra cooking and dishwashing in
volved in serving soup course is com.
pensated for by the enjoyment of the
family, the economy of using materials
often wasted, and the reduction pos
sible In the amount of food served for
other courses.
- Value Of Soups Varies.
The food value Of soups varies with
the ingredients. The United States
Department of Agriculture points out
that the food value of a milk soup
Is higher than that Of water or
clear soup. Milk soups are especially
business people, and others who wish
something warm, nutritious, but not
too "hearty." Soups made with the
water in which vegetables have been
cooked contain substances which are
too nutritious to be thrown away,
though the amount Of them is small.
Soups made from meat stock contain
meat extractives which are believed to
stimulate digestion, but which do not
wholly take the place Of meat. Con-
centrated broths made for invalids
from selected meat are more nutritious
than ordinary stock. but not, as a
rule, economical to serve at the family
table. The soups served at dinner
should be made from different kind
Of meat from that in the main course.
For example, chicken broth goes bet
ter with beef than with chicken
cooked In some other way because
the latter combination would over
emphasize one flavor at single meal.

The third period Of rapid growth. be-

ends about 20 months after birth.
Each Of these spdrts ,r cycles OF
growth proceeds in a characteristic
manner. The rapidAty Of growth in,
creases until about the middle of the
cycle when the gain made is most
rapid, then 1t slowly dies down.
The practical value of this informa-
