when a medicine is not at hand to

aiCCIDENT OR TEN
Leaning Tower of Pisa the Cause
of Muc=hDiscussion.
The Leaning Tower of, Pisa; that
mosteccentric piece of Southern
Romanesque architecture-, has been
the cause of an almost continuous
discussion. Scientists and ' archi-
tects
rch -tests hav°.. examined its founda-
tions, measured its columns, and
theorized .as to its strange depar-
tura from the perpendicular, ` In
77773 Goethrta explained it as inten-
tionally so built for the purpose of
attracting the spectator's alteration
from the 'ordinary straight shafts,
of .which Pisa in the twelfth century
is said to have had ten 'thousand.,
This is the interesting theory that
Mr. Isaac Biokerstaffe upholds in
Field. h
'To substantiate this view, he de-
scribes similar divergences that oc-
curred in contemporary buildings.
The Baptistery of the Cathedral -in
Pisa,, built' also in the thirteenth
century, leans seventeen inches'out
of`the perpendicular; world th:e, plinth
blocks of its foundations tilt down
gradually and evenly for nine • inch-
es in the direction of this lean. The
Campanile • of San Niccolo leans
forward in the same Ivey, is like-
wise do the facades -o£ the Cathe-
dral in Pisa. It is worthy of note,
too, that they curve back againto-
ward the perpendicular.
.In the Leaning Tower there is a
deliberate effort above the 'etbird
floor to return to theperpendiculax.
This is made by a delicate series of
changes in the: pitch of the columns
on the lower side—evidence taken
by some investigators as indication
of an. attempt to remedy an error
made by the aarohiteets, the founda-
tion .according to one theoryhaving
;subsided as the .result' of their inex
perience with.,the peculiar soil of
ith^ Pisa,
"Mr. Bickcrstaffe points out, how-
ever, that careful measurements
below the third floor show that the
arches of the staircase were delib-
erately increased in height, and
that the downward dip was se ar-
ranged that the weight of the tower
was thrown off the overhanging
side, This, he says, would have
been quite unneeeesaryif the archi-
tect had meant the tower to rise
straight up from its foundatipns.
Equally significant is the fact that
above the third floor of the tower
none of the precautions itust des-
cribed are taken..;
STOPPED SHORT
Taking Tonics, Glia ]milt up cit
Right Food.
The mistake is frequently made -
of trying to build up a worn-out
nervous system on sir -called` tonics`
—drugs.
New material from which to re-
build wasted nerve cells, is what
should be supplied, and thie can be
obtained'only from proper food.
"Two years ago I found myself on
the verge of a complete nervous col-
lapse, „due
ol-lapse,„due to `overwork and study,
and to illness in the family,":'writes
a young mother.
"My friends becema: alarmed be-,
cause I grew pale and thin, and
could not sleep nights. I. tdok vari-
ous tonics prescribedby physicians,
but their effects wore -off shortly
after I stopped taking them. My.
food did not seem to nourish me•
and I gained no flesh nee blood.
"Reading of Grape -Nuts, I deter-
mined to stop the tonics. and see
what a, change of diet -would.' do.
I ate. Grape -Nuts four times a day
with cream and drank milk also,
went to bed early after eating a
dish of Grape-N'uts before retiring.
"In about two weeks I was sleep-
ing soundly. In a short time gain-
ed •20 Ibis. in weight and felt like a
different woman. My little daugh-
ter whom I was obliged to keep out
of school last 'spring on account of
chronic catarrh, has changed from
a thin, pale nervous child to a rosy,
healthy girl and has gone back to
school this fall. -
t'Grape-Nuts : and fresh air were
the ooly-agents used to accomplish
the happy ressi;lts.''

"'Father, oh, father, geese! I
love •111333, I-"
But 'the father . had closed the
door behind him. He was done.
Amy Plummer, golden -haired,
young, beautiful, headstrong, made
her choice. She left her father's.:
house andmarried the man she
loved -mer ri ed Sian in the rooms of
a clergyman, • When her baby
,wars born Amyls happiness was
almost ^ complete. Tho one flaw
was that 13e3,- had not yet for-
given her for her marrieee lo Will
Page: She had never seenhim since
the morning he had closed the door
behind him, though she had tried
many times. When the baby came,
Amy thought surely her father
would relent, but her 'hope was
vain. Silas Plummer was adamant.
A successful man, able-bodied, liv-
ing in the midst of luxury, he was
deaf to his daughter's plea. He had
closed the parental door against
her and hers forever. - When her baby girl was 2 years
old a, storm broke over Amy's house-
hold. She never knew quite how it
had happened. She had been so
busy with little Evelyn. Her house-
hold dutiet had .absorbed every va-
cant hour. She had so little time
to see 'whet was going on aboutY
her. Perhaps she had neglected
Will. , 112a1".iy evenings she .}vas too
tired to :notice Will's absenee or
his ;whereabouts.
But one morning the soales drop-
ped from•'her eyes. Her baby was
taken from her and she was cast
adrift upon the world ---a divorced
woman. Another and more care-
free woman had taken her place..
Where Amy had cared for the child
and had. done leer own work, a r irse'
and' servants were employed. And
there was nothing that Amy could
do.. They told her that the law: had
so decided things, and Amy `knew
nothing of the law. It terrified her.
She knew naught but of the house-
hold; the outside world and its
`ways -were tolher a ,sealed book. For
tarodaysshe "sat upon the,;front
steps of her father's house, but was
denied admittance. She haunted
her husband's office,' but"wars ever
turned awa,y.
In desperation, 'the :cast-off' went
to -a friend to borrow theinoney to
go to another city. Often she• was
hungry and her clothes were ragged;
threadbare. There was no work for
the inexperienced hand. At last', a
kindly 'woman gave -her employ-
ment" as a domestic servant. ,For
seven years she lived thus, unknown
and unmolested. When she went
out, which was seldom, she wore a
heavy veil that. eonoeeled her fea-
tures in order drat those whom she
loved might be,speired l nowledge of
her lowly life.
Crossing a busy streetone..d:ay,
an automobile dashed around the
corner. Its shrill siren startled
the nerveus woman. She dodged
first one way, then the other. The
big . ear passed over her; then it
stopped; 'she was lifted into the
tonneau and hurried' to the nearest
hospital.
- When the woman opened her eyes
they rested upon a golden -haired
girl, fashionably' gowned. It was
the same girl who had bidden the
chauffeur stop the machine that its
victim might be cared for. e
' "Do,n't try to talk, mother," said
the 'girl. "They are bringing
grandfather here. I want you to
save' your strength for him."
"But—you-and — father to
gether?"
"Yes. I ran away from my fa-
ther's home. I , couldn't stand it,
and grandfather took me in. • You
see, grandfather failed rapidly after
you went away. Iseldom leave his
side now. :He seems• to get so much,
comfort from just holding my hand.
For years we have searched for
you. And now you must be very
quiet because we want to take you
=home. Grandfather needs- you
so."
The woman's tired eyes lighted
up wonderfully and ,she went to
sleep `murmuring, "He 'meede nie;
he needs me,"
* s
By a big bay window overlooking
a -park, Amy Plummer Page and
her daughter were standing.
"Mother, I wish you wouldn't
make me ,learn to earn my own liv-
ing. We have money and-"
"Every girl should be able to
make her own way in the, world, un-
aided; every woman, For none
knows what day she will be thrown
upon her own resources. I want to
teach you to care' for yourself. The
thing we women must learn is to
put our trust in ourselves, IlIvelyal,
not in Wien."
Unseen by the two women, a bro-
ken old man had entered the room.
His wrinkled head rested on :his
daughter's arm,

Some 245 miles ]south of Medina
and 65 ,east, of Jeddah, on the Red
Sea, in •a narrow, ;desolate valley,
hemmed in by barren hills and
only accessible through two passes,
lies Berea, mor known as Mecca:,
one of the most ancient cities of
Arabia andythe: netropolis..of• all Is-
lain, says the London Globe. The
Makoraba of Ptolemy and the eapi-
tat of the Hedjas, Mecca's fame
chiefly rests upon its possession' of.
the Kaaba, where flock some 60,000
or '70,000 pilgrims annually-; Ages
before Mohammed ewes born' the
Kaabaattracted pagan pilgrims as

a heathen shrine, containing ,a mlr-
aculone, fetich, it enjoyed wide re-
pute. °fir' very remo=te times. Prior
to its reconquest by the ,prophet, in
627 (five years:after his flight of he-
gira therefrom), Mecca. Was under
the control of the Koreish, from.
whom Mohammed wrested it. For
several centuries it remained under
the rare of the caliphs, who spent
enormous sums in adorning and re-
storing it. In 930 it was 'sacked by
the Karmathions; who carried off
the sacred black stone and retained
it for over• twenty years. Mecca
subsequently fell under the influ-
ence of whatever dynasty Fati-
mite, Ayyubite, Manieluke—hap-
pened to rule in Egypt. Finally it
fell into the hands of the Ottoman
Sultans, but their', power was never
more than nominal.
From the earliest times Mecca
has been a notable trading centre.
The barren soil Tenders agricultur-
"al operations impracticable, ,and
the Mecham. are.thue dependent
upon traders for provisions, but
Mecca's command of the principal
eaxavan•routes, both from northto
south •andfrom coast 'to the high-
lands, afforciaathe inhabitants un-
usit l facilities 'for commerce—quite
apart from the' city's reputation as
a holy spot; whieh is, of course, the
chief, source of its prosperity.
Mecca is made tip of quite mod-
ern ;.buildings, excepting the Great
Mosque and .some few others, owing
to the frequent devastations caused
by the torrents which pour down
froin ,surroundii'i'g,hills during the
winter. Through it runs the sacred
Course, a wide road extending from
Sala to M•arwaj which must be bran-
