wrongs, the madden they got-and
the more justified they felt in do
ing anything to right matters. At
last they worked themselves into
such state of indignation and
justification that they succumbed
to the first alluring temptation
that presented itself.
Then they went out and shot
someone or robbed someone. But
they didn't do it as part of def
mite, premeditated criminal pro-
gram. They just oozed into it and
they were usually both surprised
and embarrassed when they rea-
lized what they had done. And
they were always very indignant
because people didn't realize that
they were really kind hearted and
well intentioned.
It's. well to remember that when
you're condemning criminals. Quite
a number of Us indulge in fuzzy
thinking. We also spend a great
deal Of our time in being sorry for
ourselves and making excuses and
blaming people because we never
got a chance" And you never
can tell.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH

BY DIR. C. A. L. Reed

VOU exercise common sense in
i diet when you eat a normal
variety Of things that you have
found by experience to agree with
you. But you should remember
that the diet that agrees with
you at one period of your life
or under one set of conditions is
not best adapted to you at another
age or under other conditions.
You should remember, too, that
1t is not always true that what
is sauce for the goose Is sauce
for the gander." 1t consequently
nearly always happens that, un.
der a uniform diet in a large fam
lily, somebody suffers because OF
improper food.
1t is futile to listen to anyone.
friend, doctor, writer, who says
Sat this, eat that" or don't eat
either" You cannot argue from
one person to another. A brain
worker who does a lot of highly
responsible and technical work
and who is tall, lean and neuras-
thenic, will not profit by the adj
vice of a friend who does not
work to speak of, and is short,
stout and has a high blood pres

stomach. Predisposed persons
may get diabetes from an excess
OF sugar and starchy foods, or
kidney disease from too much
meat, but this is only perhaps.
Various diseases are caused by a
deficiency of what are called vita
Minis, but the idea that it needs
great care to ensure a sufficient
vitanin supply is absurd, except
for the very poorest classes. The
value Of vitamins is in their
quality, not their quantity, and
a very little Of them is quite
enough. They probably work as
ferments, or as activators of the
processes of using the food in
the body. The common mixed
diet of most households contains
quite sufficient to make special
precautions unnecessary. Take
care of the mixed diet and the
vitamins will take care of them

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland.

Life Being What 1t Is
IT IL always astonishing to a
i man to discover that a woman
has so little sense of humor that
she believes all he tells her.
When two girls fall out, it Is
nearly always for a good big
reason-at least six feet tall.
A coat of rags may often hide
q loyal, honest heart; but no
coat of rouge ever hid an honest
wrinkle.
The four infallible cures for
love are marriage, time, hard
work-and another love. And
the quickest and surest of these
il another love.
After all, every man is half
q child at heart. and would
rather have you like him than
adore him, amuse him than
improve him, jolly him than
idealize him, and play with him
than reform him.
All that q woman seems to
need, these days, in order to get
away with murder, Is a good
figure, a good bank account, and
a good lawyer.
Somehow, the fact that you
know that a man would have
made you miserable for life, is no
consolation for not having mar
ried him.
So long as a man Is in love
with a womna, her presence fills
the room like cut flowers: when
/ he ceases to be in love with her,
even the sound of her footsteps
in the next room fills him with
apprehension, and affects him
like Ice dropped down the spine.
There are just two times in
his life when q man fully values
a woman's love; before he gets
it--and after he has lost it.

Minneapolis, Aug. 22 R-Golfdom centered its attention today on near ly 200 amateurs gathered at the Minikahda club, on the first qualify ing round of the national amateur championship, and especially on the destinies of George Won Elm of Los Angeles titleholder, and Bobby Jones of Atlanta. who lost the crown to the westerner last year.
 While these men are favorites for finalists 8 third successive time, their positions are not so exact as to guarantee that some other player may not put one or both out of the running in the early rounds of match play.
 There were 174 sterling players listed to start the medal round to- day. and among them were such names as Jimmy Johnston, leader for two rounds in the national open, playing on his home course, Francis Cuimet, of Boston, Bob Gardner and Chick Evans of Chicago, William F. F'ownes, and Dave Heron, of Pitts burgh and Max Marston of Philadel- phia, all former champions some of them twice.
 There were also a score of state and regional titleholders and Bon Stein of Seattle. western king, and Carl Kaufman of Pittsburgh, public links champion. In addition there was an invasion of Canadians with Don CarriclS of Toronto, Dominion champion for the second time, and Eoss Somervile of London, Ontario, runner-up to Carrick after holding the Canadian title twice.
 Moreover there was the Minikahda course. 6.s6s yards long, with par of 72. and traps in treacherous fash ion. The links can be solved. how ever, as 1t was by Chick Evans in 1916 when he set record of 2S6 for the national open.

Cambridge, Mass, Aug. 22 R)- Professor Kirtly F. Mather, head of the department of geology at Har- yard today reported that the univer- sity seismograph showed no record of the series of rumblings and slight tremors felt along the Massachusetts south shore Saturday night.
 From description of the disturb ance, Professor Mather said that it had all the earmarks of light earthquake. Failure of the seismo- graph to record the shock was not an indication that local earth quake might not have occurred. Ere quently, he explained, local earth Quakes have occurred in New Eng land without being recorded on the Harvard seismograph. which is "tun, ed in" for distant, deep-seated tre- mors.
