Dreams of Youth.
Then again, there are some men t
whom I should much like to put thi
question privately, as soon as I kne
then well enough: At about wha
Period of your life was it—when yo
were, say, thirty, or forty. or Atte—
that you sadly but finally laid geld
tbeit vision of the ideal steam yachtee
the r.ondertiul vessel in which yet
were wont to visit a•11 the ports an
harbors of the world, to lie off troplca
islands or breast the long Atlanta
rollers, all on the some evening? Bu
perbaps you have never really laid
up your steam yacht, you will stick t
it through thick and thin, and you al
ways mean to? If go, you are fortun
ate indeed, ever let it go. It cost
nothing, it has no rivals while afloat
but once it struck on the rocks o
fact and foundered in deep water, 'i
eaunever be raised t0 the surface
again.
lint pel'hape the nmost: usual shape
which the Cream-oofoi'etl .pony assumes
in grown-up dreamt. is that of the ideal
house, estate, country property, al
ways just tbe•righ.tperiod of architeo-
etre, just the proper sell, just the car
mot distance from town, and furnish
eta equipped, staffed and inauaged, just
as we, and we alone of all people,
could do the ,thing if we had the
chance. Now this is never an ignoble
dream, for nothing responds so genal-
musty Lo care.; love, and expenditure RS
a' noble }rouse or estate, or foetus -it-
self so closely about the roots of the
heart. In this dream, fantasy almost
disappears, but beauty has fullest and
• finest, play. Few unworthy desires find
room for growth here.. and- one may
even end a wiser and a better man
after the enjoyment of a mansion only
built in cloud -land. Sometimes, in-
deed, it is no question of ideal • Sky -
building at all; for the place lnay be tm

By' David Dietz.
Geological Time, as we have seen,
Is estimated at 800,000,000 years, of
this time, the first 400,000,000 years
were consumed' by the first two eras,
the Archeogoic and Proterozoic.
That means that over half of the
history of the earth passed .before life
had °elnerged beyond the simplest
stage. •
The oldest rook formations now
found upon the earth belong to the
Aroheozolo. Nowhere does the geo-
logist find any rock formation which
he thinks constituted the crust of the
earth at the close of tbe_formative
period.
These oldest rocks are bent and
twisted out-of•shape. They have been
squeezed into metamorphic rocks. by
the intense pressure' of great earth
movements. -
No trace of fossil forms is found
in any of these rocks., Some geologists
think that there was'no life at all in
this era,
But the majority are inclined to
think that life eeisl:ed in this area.
They think, however, that only the
simplest sort of microscopic Life-
cue -celled animals and plants like the
present-day amoeba --•existed.
Overlying the Arclreozolc rocks, we
find the rocks of the next era, the
Proterozoic,
Geologists believe that there were
two great periods of severe cold or
glacial periods in the coarse of the
Proterozoic Era. •
Slight traces of life occur at the
'close of the Proterozoic Era, These
are vestiges of simple marine plants
called algae, the flinty shells of min-
ute one -celled marine animals' called:
ratdiolara, and marks 'Chat are taken
to be the tracke•of worms that wallow-
ed in Uie primal mud.
The chief reason for.believing that
life existed prior to this is based upon
the fact that deposits of graphite and
of red and black oxide of iron are
found in these early rocks.
The . beds of graphite are taken to
be•the remains of'inarine plants, And
the presence of the iron oxides leads
to the belief -that certain types of
bacteria 'known as • the iron -forming
bacteria existed then.
Anothel reason for believing that
life existed during this period is that
a great variety of fossils are found
In the rocks of the next era, the
Paleozoic, Era, These must have
evolved from simpler forms of pre-
existent life.
It is assumed that the great majority
of life forms in these early days had
no skeletons or shells. hence when
they died, nothing.remained which
could be preserved in the rocks as
fossils.

The' Orchards—at Last!
We were snore than eager to snake

I was weary of vicarious glimpses of
the apple -trees, ulid 1 knew that if we
didn't soon find them in their bright
abundance we simnel feel cheated. So
without stopping at bustling Iientville
we allowed our train to carry us on to
this important stop: .rust as you meet
some people for the' first time, look
into their eyes, and like them, yoil
couldn't help being charmed with this

the station platform.

town that helped to give urs so warm a
feeling for it; for the apple -orchards
were thick and glorious soon after' we.

finding oneself suddenly in a cloud of

on a pink and white ocean of tenuous
blossoms, with no coastline to tell

around us that magical purity, tha

wo had wandered in a fairy-tale, the
world well lost. What drifts of beauty,

c
through the pink -white blossoms we
could see shnfts of sunlight falling;;
and now and then a flake of the loveli-

says Dorothy Dix in "My Trip Around
the World," there ie some sort of a lit-
tle pink barnacle, about the size al a
silver dime, that fastens itself on any-
thing cast into the water. The Japan-
ese put in little twigs "and sticks, and
when these have become covered with
the pinkish shells they mat them to-
gether between bamboo poles and
make of thema fence that looks like
a wall of mother-of-pearl. It is the
most beautiful, the most ethereal, the
frailest structure that it is possible to

this fence along a public highway, on
which thousands of Iit,tle toys peas

probably exaggerated the time limit,

of them they stop still and throw up
their skinny little arms above their
heads aild shout out: "Banzai- 0 enjin-

Self- Poisoning
• Increasingly
Common
Modern Living Habits Pro-
mote Self Poisoning —
Thousands are Victims'
The average man or woman does not
enjoy consistent good health. Loss of
appetite, headaches, biliousness and a
lack of enthusiasm for either work or
play are constant complaints.
Scientists have ascertained that such
a condition is usually caused by self-
poisoning resulting from constipation.
Due to modern living habits, the
natural secretion which promotes regu-
lar elimination by softening the bowel
contents, is often deficient—especially
among middle-aged people. The poison
from waste matter remaining m the
systems of people thus affected is the
insidious enemy of good health.
Such people need Nujol, because
.Nuace softens the waste matter and
permits thorough and regular bowel
elimination without overtaxing the
intestinal muscles. It helps Nature

Ask your druggist for Nujol to-day—
