Every business man appreciates the
Importance Of an inventory. 1t Is a
good business principle to make an
inventory at regular intervals IN or
der to find out the true state of one
stock.
This principle of asccrtaining the
actual state Of affairs at regular IN
tervals is as applicable to the preser-
walton Of personal health as it is TO
the preservation and conduct Of bus
mess.
The earliest recognition of a health
liability will enable SOU to take the
proper steps to arrest or cure the
physical liabilities which your health
inventory may disclose.
You know that many diseases be-
gin slowly or insidiously and may
not produce any disabling symptoms
until the condition is considerably
advanced. BY means Of thorough
physical examination at regular in
tervals such diseases may be recog'
nizcd and their progress checked or
cured by proper hygienic. dietetic
medical or surgical treatment.
tuberculosis, cancer, Brght's dis
ease. diabetes. hardening Of the ar
teries and certain forms of heart dis
ease are examples Of diseases that
may begin unnoticed.
To your physician. trained to note
the slightest symptom of disorder
the beginning Of these diseases is at
once apparent if you present your
self for an annual physical examina'
ton.
ANNUAL EXAMINATION
IS ADVISABLE
The practice Of annual physical ex'
aminations is valuable not only 70,
the early detection of disease but
also it is important as guide in the
selection of suitable employment fol
those with known defects.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

"What do you think of Big Ben
now. children?' asked Tick Took, the
clock fairy. isn't he big?'
Bigger than all the other clocks
in the world put together, | guess
said Nick.
They we're up in the clock tower
of the Parliament Buildings IN
London. the Twins were. Big Ben
was the name of the clock there.
an try to tell you all ! can re-
member" said Tick Took. "Let me
see-his face is twenty-four feet
across and his minute hand fourteen
feet long. 1t sticks out little over
the edge Of the face, so that is why
it is more than eleven feet long as
it really should be.
"That long iron bar that swings
down in--the tower has a weight on
the end that weighs one hundred and
fifty pounds. That is the great pen
duum and it swings back and forth
to keep Big Ben going.
"By the way, my dears. Big Ben
has four faces exactly like this one
He isn't two faced, either, for he is
as honest as Old Abe. III take you
along this little hallway and we can
pass behind all of the faces. There!
Didn't l tell you? The numbers are
all two feet long and the space be-
tween each minute mark is fourteen
inches. Look on your clocks at home
and you will see that the spaces are
usually smaller than the top Of q
lead pencil. ......
Now, come, and l will show you
the BELLS"
The Twins followed the clock fairy
into another sort of room. and there
hung Big Ben and all his brothers
from wooden beams bound with iron
Great chains held the bells in place
do they ring like dinner bells?'
asked Nancy. "Does someone shake
them?"
mo, indeed!" said Tick Took
"These bells never bulge. Great
hammers strike them. Big Der
strikes only the hours--the othe,
bells strike the quarter and the halt
hours. The hammer that used tc
make Big Ben ring was too heavy
and cracked him. So they turned
him around and kept on using him
1t didn't make any difference at all
in his voice. Only they had to gel
lighter hammer. The first ham
mer weighed seven hundred pounds
The new hammer weighs only -four
hundred pounds"
"Are the bells heavy?" asked Nick
swell, Big Ben, the biggest of all
weighs thirteen tons said Ticl
Took. "His little brothers weigh
eight tons, three and one-half tons
two and one-half tons and two tons
Just babies, you might say"
The Twins laughed. "My goodness
alive!" said Nancy. "This must be
the biggest clock in the world"
1T is the biggest of it's kind" sale
Tick Took. "But there is clock. in
Germany with bigger face, or dial
But it has only one hand-the hour
hand-and it is not SO hard to keeT
going. =
1T takes two men five hours tc
wind this fellow and he is wounc
twice or three times week.
"In winter so much snow and ice
get around the hands, that it is quite
difficult to keep everything going
properly. But his time is perfect
Only two or three days year doe:
Big Ben lose as much as three sec

wonderful that u.s."
"I'm still GOING, GOING, GO

NO CHANGE IN
WOMEN'S WEAR

Paris, Sept. 21.-R!-For those
who have been waiting for the in
formation, leading authority in the
French dress making world has de-
clared, 1--WE need not expect any
marked change in women's shape
this winter"
The women of Paris will persist in
keeping to the straight and slender
line so becoming to the figure. But
as some change must be made, the
dress-makers have hit upon the ex-
pedient of trimming the backs Of
dresses, which is. quite opposite to
what they did last season. All sorts
of designs will be embroidered on
the backs of gowns.
Strange as it may seem, mittens
are coming back into fashion again.
Not in the quaint form that our
great grandmothers wore them. but
made of thread or silk, or both, and
as delicate as hair. They are made
in charming tints and have touches
Of gold thread, pearls and small
precious stones woven into them.

-FABLES ON HEALTH--
HERE IS HOW TO AVOID
HUMAN SCRAP HEAP"

If you subject yourself to a physi-
cal examination and discover that
you have defective vision, heart dis
ease or Bright's disease, and are
manifestly untitled for the type Of
work which you are doing, it may
be possible for you, with this knowi-
edge, to change your work in such
way as to be Of material benefit
to your health.
Industrial trims have found the
method of annual physical examina-
tions exceedingly useful in the pro-
per placing Of employees and many
have noted the reduction in accidents
since this plan was inaugurated.
Your body will stand deal Of neg
lect and bad treatment when you
are young but as you grow older
you will certainly pay the price Of
neglect.
CAN'T REPLACE
PARTS OF YOUR BODY
Remember that you differ from
your automobile to this extent: A
damaged or cracked cylinder may
be replaced, leaky valves may be
ground, spare parts may be pur-
chased. but you cannot buy new
stomach. new liver, or new set
of lungs.
Apply business methods to the
care of your human mechanism.
Take an annual inventory.
Have complete annual physical
examination made by a thoroughly
qualified physician to detect the
early signs Of any developing DIS
ease.
If you follow these suggestions
you will feel better, live longer and
accomplish more.
There is no use in our going to
the scrap heap before your time if
you will have yourself overhauled
by physician at least once year.
If you inspect your automobile
four times year give your human
mechan at least onefourth Of the
attention you give your car.
