TONS" DR.. E. v. McCollum,
school of hygiene, Johns Hop
kins University, Baltimore, in an
address here attributed prevalence
of ricketts, and bad teeth among
Americans to the change by an
cestors of the race from agEi-
cultural pursuits to other lines
of industry and to failure to
properly readjust the common
diet.
Remote generations of the race
were nomads, DR.. McCollum said,
and depended on agriculture aud
their animals, and their diet con-
sisted of sour milk and meat,
principally, along with a certain
amount Of vegetable foods. He
declared that this nations diet
changed to one comprising white
bread, meat, sugar and potatoes
chiefly, due to invention of agri-
cultural machinery and a drift to
mechanical industry
''As a result" continued DIR.
McCollum, 40 to 80 per cent of
the school children are under
weight. Many of them are amaze,
mic, teeth not we'll formed, tend
ing to decay; have flat feet and
deformed bones. Approximately
80 per cent of the children in
public schools have from one to
eleven teeth untitled. Ricketts, is
surprisingly common.
Most authorities say SO per
cent OF the children of the work
ing classes are afflicted with bow
legs, knock knees, or some milder
deformtty, and some say move
than SO per cent of all American
children show slight traces OF
disease"
With a view to correcting de-
fects in Americas diet, DR.. Nc
COllum advised that more vege-
tables, raw foods, such as spin

commended, also, reversion more
to "the dairy product diet of our
ancestors" declaring that con-

WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

0WEET is pleasure after pain.
~ Welded love is founded on
esteem.
Flattery is monstrous in a true
friend.
The vulgar keep no account of
your hits. but of your misses.
Put not your trust in money,
but your money in trust.
The remedy for injuries is not
to remember them.
There can be no friendship
without confidence and no conf
dence without integrity.
There are two bores in society
the man who knows too much
and the man who knows too little.
1t is a disgrace to every civil
lied man and woman that war
and it's brutalities are still pos
sible.
The line to walk is that which
lies between self-depreciation and
self-assertion.
Honesty in little things is very
far from being a little thing.

Magnet Finds Relics in Old Gold Camp

With the undermining Of the
ground on which Mark Twain
published his Virginia City En-
terprise" and Dan DeQuille wrote
his anecdotes of Western mining
camps, horseshoes, nails and the
metal whatnots of the CO.'S fall
into ore cars and are carried to
the mill at American Flat.
In order to protect the ma
chinery powerful magnets sift the
metal from the ore.
The gathering scrap heap looks
old and rusty, but there is an air
of romance about it. The tide of
humanity that flowed past Slip
perry Gulch laid the foundations
of the wealth that helped build
San Francisco. and the same tide
of gold and silver floated Nevada
