Ever since Senator Borah last Spring
announced himself strongly opposed
to the proposals in New York and I'LL
nois for the determination Of what is
an intoxicating beverage by the in

as a potential dry candidate for the
presidential nomination. The speed
with which he picked up the gauntlet
thrown down by DR.. Butler has led
some Of the politicians here to assert
that Senator Borah has not, by any
means, discarded the possibility Of en-
tering the lists for the Republican
nomination.

for a showdown on prohibition where
will 1t leave Speaker Longworth, re-

when tho dog belonging to the
youth trailed by the red-bearded
man escaped from his masters
grasp and leaped into our car. We
were simply too stunned and fright
ened to utter sound. But it took
me only a second or two to realize
that the beautiful dog had not gone
mad. nor was he savagely attacking
us. Ignoring Mary and me. he had
thrown his body against Eleanor

obeyed her, pressing himself against
the back Of the seat in front Of him,
and looking adoringly into her face.
Then with a furtive, questioning
glance at me, she exclaimed in
voice much higher and shriller than
her usual ell-modulated contralto:
THAT must be his name! Don't
you think so? How queer! had

I always call every dog I see by his

Your Health
How to Keep It.
Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor journal of the American
Medical Association and OF Hy-
nnia tho Health Nlannzinn

geia, the Health Magazine.
1t has long been the common i'm
preston that the flat-chested per-
culosis and that persons with large
round chests have a fine set of
lungs.
Recently, physicians in the Uni
versity of Minnesota School of Medi-
cine have made measurements of
persons with tuberculosis, of normal
adults, of normal children, and Of
children and adults with various
complaints Of the chest to determine
the chest conformation associated
with various diseases. AS result of
these observations, it is concluded
that the flat-chest Is apparently
the healthy chest and that the
round or deep chest is probably so
conformed because it has not de-
veloped properly from the in
fantile condition.
The vital capacity which repre-
sents the number of cubic inches
of air that a person can forcibly
expel after a full inspiration is
more than so per cent larger in
flat-chested persons than in those
having a round, tuberculous chest.
The vital lung capacity of normal
students varied from 2450 to
Goo cubic centimeters, with an
average of 1910, whereas that of
tuberculous patients varied from
500 to 1900 c. c. with al average
Of 2G5O.
The round chest type is probably
more prone to tuberculosis. For
tunately. it may be avoided by en-
couraging children to participate in
sports. gymnastics and games, es-
pecially those that will aid the
proper development of the chest
DR.. S. A. Weisman recommends
for this purpose tennis, baseball,
work on the parallel bars. gymnastic
rings, swimming, climbing ladders
backward. and climbing ropes and
trees. A German investigator found
that the vital capacity increases in
a very short time under these forms
of exercise.

'All right for you" said one.
Where are your two white broth

Bit this the two young Bluebirds
couldn't say. They looked every
where, but they could see no one
dressed in white. 1t was all very
perplexing and very pulling. But
they didn't intend to have any
thing to do with these strangers.
No, sir, they just wouldn't. So it was
that when Winsome Bluebird came
