Life, Dead in Michigan

Manistee. Mich, Aug. 22.-(R-
Death came last night to Charles F.
Ruggles, the last of the Michigan
lumber barons. and found him in a
plain little room where he had lived
for years, preparing his own meals,
scrubbing the floors and spending
hours v kettles in which he made
candy for distribution to children at
Christmas time.
Ruggles. at "a, died a; multi million
aire. but there was little difference in
his mode of life during his last days
from that of his youth when h. saw
and seized the opportunities In north
ern Michigan's virgin forests. When
his contemporaries in the industry
went to the cities years ago and built
fine homes, he remained behind, liv-
ing as he always had lived, wearing
moccaSins and a lumberjack shirt,
with no necktie beneath his long white
beard.
When numbering passed out in
Michigan, he turned to sal: manu-
featuring and until last Saturday,
when he was stricken Ill, was active
every work day. He bought mo the
lumber industry In other states
Minnesota, the Carolinas, Florida,
California and much of the huge es-
tate he left behind Is represented in
these holdings.
Ruggles was born In Bangor. Maine.
on March 3, 1886. His parents took him
to Oshkosh, Wis, where ne worked in
a match factory as a youth. The fam
lily moved to Manistee because the
youth was suffering from PHOSPHORUS
poisoning from matches. and a physi-
clan recommended out door life. This
led him to become interest. I'd in lum-
Der, and led to his amass'ng a fortune.

Advises Use of Slogan
to Overcome Detection

Slogans are advocated as an aid to
a healthy mental outlook by James D.
Weinland, who considers their effect
and lists a number in an article in
Hygeia Magazine.
A good slogan can brighten our
whole horizon, fill us with courage and
be an emotional stimulus. It directs
and holds the attention to a bracing
thought. For instance, when man Is
down in the dumps It is comforting to
think that "the men who try to do
something and fail are infinitely bet
ter than those who try to do nothing
and succeed" or that "there are more
chances and opportunities in life than
we know"
There are slogans hidden away in
the worlds literature that fit almost
any mood or desire. says Mr.. Vein
land. Proverbs are rich In them.
Poems are jeweled with them. Each
person must select the ones that mean
most to him. Used at the right time
the words can penetrate like sharp
dart into a mood and dissipate It.
They act like bugle call marshaling
the forces of our resolution and order
ing them into action.

Mexican Coat of Arms
Traced to Aztec Fable

That the name "Mexico" comes from
"mexictli." the Aztec word for the ma
tive maguey or pulque plant, is the
conclusion of Enrique Juan Palacios,
Of the Mexican direction for archeol-
ogy. who has searched for its origin
in native Indian documents. as well as
in other sources of information. Ev-
cry Mexican school child knows that
his national coat-of-arms Is an adapta-
tion of the ancient Aztec hieroglyph
or place-name for 'Tenochtitlan," as
pre-conQuest Mexico City was called.
Mexico's shield, therefore, Is at least
six centuries old. It represents an
eagle in moEtal struggle with a snake,
which he holds with one claw and his
beak. With the other claw he Is bal
anced on spiny nopal cactus growing
on rock in the middle of lake. This
perturbation of an extremely difficult
position illustrates the Aztec fable of
the founding Of the ancient city that is
now the capital of the Mexican re-
public.

Hard to Grasp Facts
of the Stellar System

At first the brain reels little in
the attempt to grasp the facts Of the
stellar system, even explained with
the lucidity and exactness of which
Sir James Jeans Is a master. From
the vast extensions Of the sky he car
ries us into the inmost recesses Of
the atom, where the electron whirls
around its perpetual circuit several
thousand million times every second.
These numbers, says the London
Spectator. are but dazzle painting, and
1t is simpler to say that the electron
travels as far in second as our
latest seaplane travels in an hour.
Sir James Jeans has happy fertility
in such comparisons, and forcibly
strikes the imagination when he tells
us that If the carbon atom were
magnified to the size of Waterloo sta
ton, its electrons would be repre-
scented by six wasps flying round in
the vast. vacuity. All the rest Is
emptiness; and so in the celestial
spaces it is immense odds against any
given spot being occupied. "We live
in a gossamer universe; pattern, plan
and design are there in abundance,

States evidence is the evidence pro-
duced by the government in criminal
prosecution. The term also applies
to person who gives such evidence.
When a person implicated in crime
voluntarily confesses his share and
gives testimony that will incriminate
his accomplices he is said to turn
states evidence" namely, he becomes
a witness for the state. In such cases
there is generally an express or inn
piled promise on the part of the au-
thorities that they will not prosecute
the witness who thus testifies, or that
he will at least be dealt with leniently.
Prosecutors do not usually promise
such Immunity unless there is INSULT
cient evidence to convict the defend
ant without the testimony in question.

Whoopins Cough One 81 .
Childhood's Great lllsI

Whooping cough Is one OF the old!
est known Of child diseases, yet there
are no certain treatments or preven-.
tives known. And many parents have
the wrong idea about wh00ping cough
They regard it as child disease that
every child must have, and take little
trouble to guard their children against
exposure, regardless Of age. But that
Is what makes the death. rate from
whooping cough greater than that
from scarlet fever, measles and In
fantile paralysis combined. It has
been estimated that whooping cough
Is twenty times as fatal for children
under five years Of age as for those
beyond that age. Thus approximately
90 per cent Of the deaths from this
disease occur In the pre-sch00l age
group. In time of epidemics or even
in isolated cases, the American Public
Health association advises parents to-
keep children, particularly those Of
pre-school age, away from all un-
necessary neighborhood contacts. II
the older children get the disease iso-
late them until several days after
the whooping ceases. Pathfinder Mag

value of faith declared that ''it was
by faith that Moses discovered Amer

He noticed a smile spread over the
faces of the congregation, but couldn't
imagine what 1t was about, and re-
peated that but for his faith Moses
would never have crossed the stormy
Atlantic to America.
Having observed that his wife was

French Enjoy Fishing

but also that he has natural pas
