IN NEW. YORK

New York. Dec. ga "Dress Well
and Succeed" movement has been
started. 1t is pointed out that in
America the only men who wear silk
hats are bridegrooms and cab driv-
ers. But be not downhearted fell
lows. if your best suit is little
shiny. Statistics show that last
year each hundred men bought 62
suits among them. This, according
to reports at the annual meeting Of
the National Association of Retail
Cfothiers and Furnishers recently
held there.
That tall buildings sway in the
wind has been popular belief for
some time, the theory being that if
the structure bends a little it is
less likely to break. This is denied
by architects who are planning to-
prove that the Woolworth Building
here does not sway in gale.
,
Building statistics give you very
definite idea Of New York's growth.
In the metropolitan district this
year homes were provided for no.
600 additional families. That figure
includes Jersey. cities across the
Hudson.

Salvaged War
Explosive For
Farmers Use

Fargo. n. d., Dec. 23.--North Da-
kota farmers can secure pyrotol, a
salvaged war explosive, at cost
ranging from three to five cents per
stick. according to r. c. Miller, agri-
cultural engineer of the Extension
division, North Oak ota Agricultural
college.
The new explosive is being cis-
trlbuted at cost covering cartridg-
ing and freight. Shipments vii he
made from Bemidji, Mimi, and the
cost there is $500 per hundred
pounds. To this figure must be
added the freight to North Dakota
points, which is double the ordinary
first class rate.
Pyrotol may be used for digging
trench silos and bitches or blasting
rocks and stumps, Nh. Miller sug-
Gests. Orders may be made through
county agents Or directly to the Aw-
ricultural Engineering Department,
University Farm, St. Paul Mimi.
The pyrotol is made up at the rate
Of three sticks to the pound. one
stick being equal to a half pound
stick of 40 percent dynamite. Or
ders must be in 100 pound quaint
ties, and the maximum allowance for
each farmer is 1000 pounds.
Uses Of explosives on the farm
will be discussed by Mr.. Miller at
1870 p. M, Jan. ., in talk to be
broadcasted from WEAK, the Agr-
cultural college radio broadcastine

-FABLES ON HEALTH
HOW WE BREATHE

Calls for oxygen depend largely !
upon bodily activity. and when the
muscles are in use, as in exercise,
the calls are more frequent.
The mechanism centers in a group
of cells called the respiratory center
which govern the muscular move
mepts in respiration and which dwell
in the lower part of the brain. being
known as the medulla oblongata.
Control of the mechanism is en-
tirely unconscious and complete
smoothness Of operation is assured
when regular usage is adhered to.
This is one of the strong argu-
ments for regular exercises, which
enable person to exert himself
without discomfort. An active mus
cular life is great aid to keeping
the respiratory machine in good con-
dition

Did you ever stop to wonder how
you breathe? .'~
Most people, like Mr.. Jones of Any
town, took this function for granted
as he did most of the bodily func-
tionings.
To begin with, the body is sup
piled with nerve-muscle apparatus
that expands and contracts the chest
in the movements Of breathing. Air
is breathed to supply oxygen to the
blood for use Of body cells. In en-
halation carbon dioxide is given off
as waste product.
Oxygen is carried by the blood to
the various tissues there to be burn
ed as fuel, creating water which is
given off through the lungs and
skin as vapor and through the kid
neys. The process is just about the
same as the burning of coal and
wood,

GALES BECOMES PRESIDENT
st. Louis Post Dispatch.

! st. Louis Post Dispatch.
A strong man laid down the reins
OF government in Mexico City re-
Gently and another strong man took
; them up, with the good wishes of
the world to heartcn him. 1t is just
hundred years ago that Mexico in
auguratcd its first president, and in
that hundred years only once before
! has rightly elected president SER
we'd out his term and turned over the
office to a legally elected successor.
The strong hand Of Obregon has
! maintained the peace even at the
! expense of some war, but he has
firmly held his power and wisely
ruled his country. Twelve years
ago he left his pleasant lands by
the summer sea to aid the revolu-
ton which Madero had raised. He
returns, Cincinnatus like, more rich
~ endowed than any Of his country
men with the honors Of war and
statecraft.
His place as president is taken by
his friend, Plutarco Elias Gales, and
it cannot be denied that Obregon
had much to do with elcvating Cal
les. justification for such interfer-
ence can only be made by Gales in
giving to his country an admnistra-
ton as able as Obregon's and CON
solidating all the gains over OPP
preston and reaction gained in the
last four years.
Gales is socialist, but he has
warned the workers that they must
respect the rights of capital. He is
land holder, but he has warned the
owners of great estates that they
must submit to appropriation of
their plenty for the benefit Of the
penniless, landless and letterless
poems. He has been soldier, but
he has advised the army in absolute
words that it must abstain from poll
itics.
Gales career is almost as roman
tic as Lincoln's if the difference in
the countries and the year of the
worlds development is considered.
From the humblest beginnings he
has arrived at the highest place in
the gift of Mexico. He has been
school teacher, like Hcrrot of
France, and he has lived among the
very poor. His sympathies are with
education, and his heart is with the
poems whose bread he has broken.
Mexican ways are not our ways. !
Our methods of action and thought
are different. but the underlying
principles are the same. Here are
two men, products Of modern Mex
leo. who rightly command the re-
spect and admiration of every Am
erican. One has ruled for four
years with singleness of purpose
and an honesty which unhappily !
has been rare in the southern repub- |
lie.
The other comes into power posi- |
bly, with even better natural equip
ment and with well-ordered and |
clearly enunciated ideas of govern [
ment based upon right and justice
and love Of his fellow men.

What do you think Nancy and Nick
and Johnny Sweep saw when they
popped out Of the stove in the Toy
Makers Shop.
They saw snitcher Snatch, the
rascally little goblin, putting SCOT on
| all the baby dolls.
There was a lovely French doll
with smudge on both her lovely
pink cheeks, and Gretchen, the Dutch
doll. with "a smudgc on her apron,
and Bobbie, the sailor boy, with his
white duck trousers simply ruined.
When Snitcher Snatch saw them
coming, he scampercd off and mid
behind baby carriage, but his nose
was too long to hide and it stuck
away out and gave his hiding hole
completely away.
Come here, sir!" commanded
Johnny Sweep.
But the goblin didn't answer.
"Come here, sir!" said Johnny
again, very, very sternly.
"There's nobody here!" squeaked
Snitcher Snatch. 81 don't know who

carriage" said Johnny. II see his

At that Snitcher Snatch hoped
out. "Oh, this old nose of mine! It's
always giving me away"
And he gave it pull with his
sooty fingers.
ooh, looked" cried Nancy laugh
ing. Gust look and see what you've
done! There's glass in that doll
bureau. Your nose is as black as
coal"
Now COLLINS are very vain, and
Snitcher Snatch couldn't bear to
think Of having a spotty nose. So
he turned to look in the little mirror
behind him.
Quick as lightning Johnny Sweep
and Nick jumped at him and caught
him and held him tight.
LET me go! Let me go!" he
screeched, biting and kicking and
acting up about as dreadfully as a
goblin could.

old Toy Maker sticking his head in.
"What do / hearw.
"This bad little goblin was spelling
all your nice toys" said Nick.
SWELL, we'll, we'll! That's too bad"

''You can look and see," said Nick.
"He's got. SCOT over everything"
"Tut, tut, TUT" said the Toy Max

them up because I'm putting the toys
into big bags for Santa Claus. One
bag send up to the North Pole and

A CHRISTMAS CAROL
(Florence Burner)

The Wise Men saw His shining Star,
And hurried from their homes afar,
To bow before Him;
While angles chanting from the sky,
Sang: Glory to the Lord on High,
All saints adore Him." ;;gi,-.F
The men who watched their flocks that night,
Beheld grand and wondrous sight,
band from Heaven; c.aar
Descended from the throne above, ..,.j
And sang in harmony and love;
"A King 10 given"
The shepherds trembled as they stood,
To see the shining multitude,
And hear their singing:
Fear not" an angel quickly said,
