could stand the torture no longer.
Lewis took the first fall with II
combined neck and toehold and the

People who drive automobiles and people
who own automobiles owe a duty to themselves
and to the rest of the people. One of the duties
is to know that the brake of the automobile is
in good condition and that it can be counted on
to function.
The people who make automobiles usually
make them with good brakes but it is beyond
human engenuity to give the assurance that
anything that is mechanical is always going
to work perfectly. The most important part of
an automobile is the brake It's the thing that
a great many times stands between life and

two and half feet each way and five
feet tall. 1t will contain a record of
distances to various cities in Tennes-

Campaign to Save Fur
Producing Animals

New York.-A campaign to restrict
the power of Dame Fashion, who for
"mere, decoration compels the extermi-
nation of whole species of bearing
animals" was launched recently by the
American Blue Cross society with
headquarters at Springfield, Mass,
and the New York Women's League
for Animals.
Underskirts of monkey fur, fans of
ermine tails and lace, the parasol
which when closed appears to be a
bunch of folded ermine with an orna-
ment of tortoise shell that represents
the Kittens nose, are listed by the So
cieties as bizarre fads which are caus-
ing needless destruction and cruelty.
The Blue Cross campaign against
the summer fur craze year ago was
effective, Miss Maud Phillips of
Springfield, president of the society,
said, but the fashion of wearing furs
for mere decoration has so increased
chat fur is being cut and handled as
if it were fabric and not the God-given
skin of an animal"
Novelties like the ermine cape, de-
scribed as having "wide ripping cir
cular founce that begins at the neck
line and runs all the way around a
train-like back" or white fox fur coli
lars to set off organdy are denounced
as wholly unnecessary fads.
The societies urge nationwide par
ticipation in the mpain by clubs

Fables On, Health
an RLnWING NOSES.

Dirty noses might generally be
found upon the Mann children, par
ticularly after they had been playing
in the streets and back yards.
This was always more than lit
tie annoying to Mrs. Mann, who tried
to teach them to keep their noses
clean.
And like most mothers there was
one thing she could not tolerate: that
was the picking of the nose with their
fingers. Alas this is not confined to
children and, besides being practice
disgusting to most people, is almost
unsanitary.
Many infections have resulted.
Children playing about, paying lit
tie attention to what they handle
suddenly jab germ covered finger
in the nose and send them into the
body.
Also few people blow their noses
properly. One nostril should be
closed by pressure of the handker-
chief and each nostril should be
blown separately. There should be no
more force used than is positively
necessary, as serious troubles have
risen from this cause.

Warning

| New York. Don't celebrate indie
pendence Day by sacrificing forever
your eyesight, or that Of someone else.
! This is the warning issued here to-
day by the National Committee for
the Prevention of Blindness. Although
great progress has been made in the
movement for safe and sane celebra-
tions of Independence Day, the COM
mittee says the Fourth of July IS fol-
lowed each year by food of reports
of accidents to little boys and girls
which, in many cases, blind them and
in most others so seriously impair
their vision that they are Handicapped
for life.
Injuries to the eyes from the use of
fireworks and firearms are not, how
ever, confined to Independence Day
celebrations. The committee has with
| in recent months received reports of
serious injuries to the eyes of ga
Achildrefi through the use of. fireworks
and firearms since the Fourth of July
of last year. In 79sof these cases the
child had been shot in the eye with an
air rifle; the eyes of 70 children were
seriously injured. by other firearms;
in Al cases the eyes of a child were
seriously injured by the explosion of
so-called dynamite caps" commonly
used as ammunition for dynamite
canes;" the eyes of 81 children were
injured by premature blasts of ex-
plosives, and Is by display fireworks.
The committee found that while eye
accidents of this type are recurring
throughout the year, there is a sharp
and sudden rise in their frequency
during the first week of July and: i'm
Immediately following Christmas, due to
the use of fireworks in Christmas
| celebrations, particularly in the south,
and to the popularity Of the air rifle
as a Christmas gift for boys.
The committee believes that. fire
works have proper and desirable
place in the life Of the American boy;
that they focus attention on historical
events in way beyond the power of
ordinary history instruction; and that
they do stimulate patriotism. But the
committe feels that the eyesight of
several hundred children each year. is
too high a price to pay for the good
that is accomplished by the free use
of fireworks and firearms, particularly
; during the Fourth Of July and the
days Immediately preceding it. The
committee urges every parent and
other adult responsible for the care
of children to take steps Immediately
to avert this year a repetition of the
customary Fourth of July casualties.
Specifically, the committee recon-
mends that firearms of all sorts be
! put out of reach of children; that all
! fireworks be kept out of the hands of
little children and that the use of So
called dynamite caps, giant cannon
crackers, skyrockets, roman candles
and other powerful fireworks be re-
stricted to grown children under the
supervision of adults.

CANCER.

Cancer is increasing its death toll
faster than any other of the dread
diseases. This year 10000 Ameri-
cans will die of cancer, compared with
$4,000 in 1914.
Turmoil in the medical profession
indicates that cancer will be the next
major disease to be conquered.
Radium X-ray, surgery and proven
tive measures already are working
wonders. Definite isolation of the cam
Ger germ and development of a cura-
tive serum apparently is just a mat
ter of a few years. Several physicians
already think they are close to this
goal.

VANITY.

There is nothing new under the sun.
And there is nothing more fundament-

vanity.

GLANDS

Animal glands cannot lengthen
human life or restore youth to the
aged, says the distinguished surgeon,
DR.. Clarence A. McWilliams of New

That may be true of transplanting
glands by surgery.
But remarkable results are obtained
by feeding extracts of glands. For
one thing, many growth-stunted and
