Men Who Drop Out After 40 Years of Age is Increasing Workers generally do not pay much attention to their health until they find it is impaired. They do not pay enough attention to prevention. Dr. Henry B. Favill, in an address be- fore a Chamber of Commerce in a large .western city said: "Anyone of you men has a hundred friends in society that you ars moving along with side by side doing your work, associating back and forth, and so far as you know all of theta are well. Along somewhere between 20 and 30 some of those hundred wi_1 drop out. There will be others dropping out be- tween 30 and '0 and between 40 and 50 and between 60 and 60 and by the time you have got along to 60 years of age you will tind that the men who are left in that original group of 1.00, who are men of strength and capable are very few. "Along from 40 to 50 and 55 you will find that a very large number of men are falling by the way by reason of things that are easily understood— `-' after it is too late. Melt who develop heart disease, kidney and liver dis- ease and things of that kind. We find that we have at that time of life what are called degenerative diseases, dis- eases in which the vital organs have gone to pieces one way or the other from various ca :ses. The point I want to make about those diseases is this: By the time these degenerations have been so es- tablished that anybody knows they are there and they can be given a name and treated as a disease, by that tim0 it is too late. 011, yes, you can patch it along, you can temporize, yon. can adJust, you can do all sorts of limita- tion things, but it Is too late to do much about that class of disease and that is the class of disease with which we as physicians are dealing with all the time and in increasing numbers along in those two decades of 1110.

Terence between the kaiser at Berlin find his generals, tt- suspicions sound was heard 1)5 the assembled, magnates.' The room was examined, and a small rtugcr hole was fined to have been freshly bored in woodivorlc from an adjoining room. .11 was evident that the opening had been made by some one with 0 view to overhearing what passed tit the meeting. That an outsider could have con- trived to conceal himself in the room, which had been examhied before the conference began, was out of the ques- tion. An official of the secret police was called in at once and given orders to make an extraordinary effort to dis- cover who had been spying 00 gov- ernment secrets and arrest the person. Special orders were given to see that he did not get out of Berlin or, if that were impossible, to catch him before be passed out of Germany, A rigid examination of the servants— indeed, every one who had been' seen at the palace during the meeting—was made, and it 'was found that one of the lackeys had mysteriously disap• peered. It was also learned that the missing man spoke English. There was no doubt that he was an English spy who had donned the imperial livery. The fact that no such person had been hired convinced the investigators that he had secured a suit of livery and mingled among the servants on the day the meeting took place. Only a few took note of him, and none of them saw him more than once or twice and then only for a few moments. No further clew was picked up for two days; then carne a telegram from the chief of police at Cologne that the engineer of the 9 a. in. train from that city to Liege, while oiling his engine before starting, had been approached by a suspicious looking person, who had offered him a hundred English sov- ereigns if the driver would slow up et Duren, ten miles out of Cologne, that the briber might leave the train. The engineer had endeavored to detain the man till the police could be noti- fied, but he had slipped away. whether or not he was on the train, which pulled out on tune, was 1105 known. The chief of police in Berlin was ate sent from his office when the telegram arrived, and there was more than an hour's delay in the receipt of the reply, which was to telegraph ahead to stop the 9 a. m. train and have it searched. As soon as this order was received the chief of pollee transmitted it to the superintendent of the railroad, who Said that about half au bour before a government officer had ordered the su- perintendent to give him a locomotive to catch this same train. It had bele furnished him, and he had left fiventln- utas after he had made his demand. A telegram was sent to Berlin asking If any government officer had been ar• dered on such service, and n negative 1 was returned.

Charcoal, Ammonia and Sulphur— How to Use Them Sulphur is a medicine and not a food. While it is `true that it is found in small quantities In almost all grains and other articles of poultry diet, it is not true that it Is a food and that it should be fed indiscrimin- ately. The sulphur that is found in grain is usually combined with some other imbalance to counterbalance it. There are times when it may be fed to fowls, but care must be taken. It should never be fed during wet weather, as it is liable to cause rheu- matism or a stiffness of the Joints. It is a sort of a blood purifier, will arrest disease, and sometimes in- vigorates a run-down system. A tea spoonful once a week, in soft food for twenty hens, will do no harm and even this amount should be fed In dry weathci. It' is better to be withheld from chicks until they are at least three months old. Charcoal consists almost entirely of carbon, and 4e prepared by heating wood so as to expel all the gaseous matter it contains. Ammonia is a gaseous, compound -alkaline like potas- sa, and is often termed spirits of hartshorn. 1f charcoal has been pro- perly treated it would be next to Im- possible for it to contain enough am- monia to injure animal life.

The complication was thus dnu- bled. Meanwhile the engine was steaming toward the border, there being no one on it except the government officer who had obtained it, the engineer and a fireman. The government officer cCat- tiuually consulted a time table and nn reaching a station not far behind tate train he was chasing ordered the entre- neer to slow up. "But, excellency," protested the en- gineer, "the train is within a few miles of the border. If you are intending a capture you must make it before we pass beyond German soil" "It's not for you to give instructions to the kaiser's representative," replied' the officer sternly. "Your sole duty is to obey." The engineer slowed down, wonder - Ing what this all meant. It was not till the officer's watch indicated that the train ahead had passed into Belgium that the driver was ordered to put on fall steam. The engine had crossed the border when the officer ordered the en- gineer to stop while passing through a small town. Then the officer jnmpedi down and walked away, and the engi- neer saw him no more. Within en hour after his disappear• ance the managing editor of the Amer- ican Sentinel newspaper was banded a cablegram. "Good for Billy!" be exclaimed and hurried to the composing room.
