I have also discover- ed that advertising pays big profits, as I have used it extensively during the past few years. I began selling by mail on a small scale at first, because I was a little dubious of its feasibility. But after my doubts were dispelled, I gradually added to my line of mail products. The mail plan of shipping saves me much expense in marketing; besides, I get better prices for my goods by this method. If I sold my products to retailers I could not expect so much as consumers are willing to pay. My plan also saves consumers some money, as I can afford to sell for a little less than retailers ask for the same products. In addition to the money saving, consumers have the ad- vantage of getting strictly fresh: goods that have tot laid around the store a few days before they are sold. Everything that can be shipped by parcel -post I sell in this way. I get my customers through advertising.

Stature depends a good deal on cli- nate. The Bushmen live in the great Kalahari desert, the tall Polynesians on the Pacifis Islands and enjoy all the advantages nature can bestow. The Ilottentots, of the same race as the Bushmen, but inhabiting more fertile country, are appreciably taller. On higher ground the people are usually shorter, so that the Swiss and Central Europeans generally are stocky rather than tall. Sometimes stature varies with the class of hien. Party emigrants to America, before things were made easy by the steam- ship companies, wore always taller than the races from which they had sprung. They were picked Hien, full of physical vigor and courage. Stature varies also according to profession. About half the professional and ec- clesiastical classes ars tall men, but only about one in ten of the cobblers, weavers and tailors reach the height of 5 feet 7 inches. A TON FOR ME NIMES The Only Real Nerve Tonic is a .Goad Supply of Rich, Red Blood. "If people would only attend to their blood, instead of worrying themselves ill,'' said an eminent nerve specialist, "we doctors would not sec our con- sulting rooms crowded with nervous wrecks. More people suffer from worry than anything else." The sort of thing which the special - 1st spoke of is the nervous run-down condition caused by overwork and the many anxieties of to -day. Sufferers find themselves tired, low-spirited and unable to keep their minds on any- thing.- Any sudden noise hurts like a blow. They are full of .groundless fears, and do not sleep well at night. Headaches and other nerve pains are part of the misery, and it all comes from starved nerves. Doctoring the nerves with poisonous sedatives is a terrible mistake. The only real nerve tonic is a good supply of rich, red blood. Therefore to re- lieve nervousness and run-down health Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should be taken. These pills make new, rich blood, which strengthens the nerves, thiege-dies the , appetite, gives new tirengija i and - spirits; and mekes. • '� toiiespon t people bright and cheerful..

The outlines of a man and maid Are dimmed upon the ground, Though neither voice nor footstep breaks The silence reigning round, They clasp, they kiss, another shape Behind them shyly steals, A play of swords (or moonbeams pale) The gleam and gloom reveals; In tierce and parry, feint and lunge, They flicker to and fro, While in the thickly foliaged boughs The gusty zephyrs blow. The lover falls, the maiden swoons, The slayer swiftly flees, The branches cease to bend and sway As dies the vagrant breeze, The moon upon the dewy grass A Iacy pattern weaves, The shadow actors fiit away And vanish in the leaves. Marvels of�'a Soundproof Room. It is said that the Physiological In- stitute of the University of Utrecht possesses what is probably the most remarkable room in the world, a cham- ber about seven and a half feet -square which is claimed to be absolutely noiseless, as far as the entrance of sounds from outside is concerned. It is on the top story of a laboratory building and in an inside room, but is so arranged that it can be ventilated and inundated with . sunshine. The walls, floor and ceiling each consist of half a dozen layers of different sub- stances, with air spaces and inter- atiees filled with sound deadening g ma teriale. Some persons when in the room ex perience a peculiar sensation in the, ears. Simile every effort has been made to exclude sounds that are not wanted, of course the object of con- structing this singular room was to ex- periment with phenomena connected with sound. Some of the sounds em- ployed are made in the room itself; others aro introduced from outside by ed by the Treaty, Germany retains a means of a copper tube, which is plugged with lead when not in use. total of 501,910 tons, compared with 5.108,600 tons in August, 1914.

At this time of year we hear a good deal about ptomaine poisoning, Almost every case of illness obvious- ly resulting from the consumption of unsound or tainted food is popularly ascribed to the presence of ptomaines in the offending edibles. The terns ptomaine poisoning, how- ever, is not synonymous with meat poisoning. There is a Well-known form of acute disturbance of the stomach and bowels as evidenced by sickness and diarr- hoea, which results from the consump- tion of food, and is known as meat - poisoning. Most of these cases are eaused by pleat infected with various forms of bacilli, which naturally flour- ish more luxuriantly in hot weather than in cold. • These bacilli•—the chief offenders among which have been identified and named by pathologists—are generally these which inhabited the interior organs of the animal concerned during its life. Thus, in outbreaks of food poisoning caused by one special type of bacillus, the offending animal has been the pig; sausages, brawn, and pork -pies have been responsible for the majority of the cases. Another kind of bacillus is responsible for pois- oning by beef and mutton. These kinds of bacilli have frequently been taken from •both the patients and the food causing the illness. It is worth while noting that if a piece of meat is uniformly infected with these germs, the usual process of cooking will not kill those which are firmly entrenched in the centre of; for instance, a sausage or the family roast. Of meat foods meat likely to be infected with bacilli may be mentioned beef, park, and veal. A special bacillus (Botulinus), whose toxin resembles that of tetanus, is to be found chiefly in sausages.. Ire poison has a specific .affinity for the nerve -cells of the brain anch spinal cord. Milk and cheese also are oc- casionally the prime causes of food poisoning. To prevent the possibility of food poisoning in hot 'iveather, meat should be thoroughly cleansed before cookie; by external wiping with a mild anti- septic like boracic acid.. It should al- ways be thoroughly Well cooked. The. dangerous Botulinus is destroyed at'a temperature cf • eighty degrees C. It is advisable to remember that sau- sages When- rapidly cocked may be quite raw in the interior. But even after cooking, and when meat has bean placed in the larder, there is danger of fresh .infection (allies:, it has been put under a gauze or other cover) with innumerable organisms by menn_s of the ubiquitous house -fly., blue bottle, and kindred sinister carrion -feeders. . Remember that in the hot munths pork -pies are a delicacy to be avoided. Tinned foods, once opened, should be consumed at once, as they are certain to become unwholesome in a few hours. The symptoms of food poisoning are vomiting, diarrhoea, colic, thirst, shiv- ering, fainting, or complete collapse. Slain eruptions deveiop in some cases. With regard to treatment, if there is not free vomiting, an emetic should be given. Even when diarrhoea is present, an 'ounce of castor-oil with ten drops of laudanum should be gleam. Subsequent rest of the stomach and bowels should be ensured by with- holding all solid food for e time, giv- ing only bot water or soda -water, or mill- diluted with two parts of water, for the remainder of the day. To Memory Dear. The poet who wrote "Freedom shrieked when ICosciusko fell," is never forgotten by Polish patriots. This was Thomas Compbeil, who wrote the world's greatest naval ode, "Ye Mariners of England." When he died and was buried in Westminster Abbey, they sant a Polish deputation to his funeral to scatter on his coffin soil fromethe grave of the famous na- tional patriot, Kosciusko. Byron lives in the _memory of the Greeks. IIe symbolizes England. Every year, on the anniversary of the poet's death, Greeks in London place immorteiles on his statue in 1'tirk Lane. Robert Browning and Elizabeth Bar- rett Browning aro dear to Italy. They both wrote some of their greatest poems not only in that sunny lana, but made her the subject of them, Their , villa is sacrad, and no grave in West- minster Abbey • is more frequently visited by Italians than that of the author of "The Ring ;and the Book.."
