The 'Nage turned appealingly to the
guarilians of the law, but they Could
not, because there was ao provision
for such ogles.
The seene was a courtroom in a
large Canadian city, and the problem
which was puzzling the judge was one
which is a familiar old bugbear to
Canadian courtrooms at the present
time. What is to be delle with that
human derelict, the creature "whose
future has bead wrecked'and physical
condition shattered by Ilia addietion to
the use of drugs?"
One more derelict bas been tossed
upon the rocks and the ofiicers of Jus-

eause "There was no provision for

of the number of drug addicts in Can-

IVIItII•deredb Ring.
Rings have been associated with
many things, both happy and sinister.
It was common in Roman times, and
not by any means unknown in the Mid -
die Ages, to make a rig the instru-
ment of death. To carry enough pois-
on in a hollow "ring to destroy an in-
tended victim was one of the recog-
nized devices of crime.
The signet ring Is extremely an-
cient, being found In Egyptian tombs
and among Roman deposits. They
were more especially useful when writ-
ing was the talent of scribes only, and
when the only distinctive mark most
men, even kings and nobles, could
make was the impression of the signet
ring on clay or wax.,Thesignet ring
largely lost its useflness when the
adhesive flap of the envelope almost
entirely superseded sealing -wax.
The plain gold hoop, which we call
e wedding ring, is an imitation of the
Roman sign of betrothal. For many
years it was customary In this coun-
try to inscribe a motto or "posy" with-
in this gold hoop. The following are
specimen sentiments: "Our contract
Ives heaven's act." "In thee, my
Choice, I do rejoice." "God above, in-
crease our love.'
Rings are seldom worn on the thumb
to -day, but in the fifteenth and s1x-
.teenth centuries the thumb was the
fashionable "ring -finger."
In life, as in a football -game, the
principle to follow is "Don't cry,dotr•t.
(shirk; but hit the line hard."—Theo-
dore Roogevelt.
A cheery disposition is .like air in
a tiro. There really doesn't seen to
be much to it, but it makes the going
easier and happier for everybody. The
rougher the roe(? the more you need it.
Whosoever is afraid of submitting
any question, civil or religious; to the
test of free discussion, is more in love
with his own opinion than with truth.

all the more interesting, for who would
think of milk being able to run an
engine? And yet it did run an engine.
It shows that all this talk of hygien-
ists about milk being good food for
children and adults is no idle' talk, but
that its truth can be forcefully shown.
The train in question started from
the Englewood Station en the Rock
Island tracks and ran to Beverley
Hills, The eole fuel was dried milk
worked into lumps about_ four inches
in diameter, approximately the same
size as locomotive coal. Calculations
show that this substance has about
the same heat value as medium grades
of coal. Several days previous to the
running of the "milk" train, a test of
milk as fuel was made atone of the
roundhouses of the Rock Island Road.
To give the strange fuel a chance, a
"warmed up" engine was taken. The
steam gauge registered 185. Then 125
pounds of the lumped milk was
shovelled in and began to burn vigor-
ously.- One of the veterans of the
roundhouse staff, on watching the ex-
perireent, exclaimed as the milk began
to burn: "That milk stuff beats any
fire I ever saw inside a locomotive. It
burns like oil." The steam gauge had
started to climb, and when it reached
200, the engineer who bad fired the
boiler, threw out his chest and said:
"I have the honor of 'oeing the first
man to fire a locomotive with milk.",
The parallel between milk as human
fuel and engine fuel was pointed out,
because after all, the human body is
essentially a• very intricate machine
which requires the right kind of fuel

cars on the tracks. If all these, young
and old, who now use tea and coffee,
wou:d stop using these beverages and
take pure milk . instead, . they would
soon find an imprevement in their gen-
eral hbalth and would not regret add-
ing the right kind of fuel for the deli-
cate engines of which our bodies are
composed.
