HOW =======
HEALTH PAYS DIVIDENDS:
EASES STIIAIN ON MIND.—
What are the dividends of health?
In the first place the healthy man
possesses the following character
istics which gain for him peace of
mind:
1. He Is strikingly unconscious of
his body, which runs on well with
out special attention.
2. He Is free from disturbing
varieties of self consciousness
3. He is easily absorbed In out
side Interests.
4. He meets an outrage, an Insult
or misfortunes In a matter-of-fact
manner and never sulks or broods.
5. He manifests a general Joy
In living.
6. He carries a burden of heavy
work and responsibilities without
complaint and with little fatigue.
L He develops a set of habits
and adheres to them tenaciously.
8. He seldom craves narcotics.
0. He seldom craves any of the
"psychic escapes” such as dream
life, seif-deceptlon. cheap Action
and religious consolations.
"Thus everything from a man's
ability to digest raw onions up to
his ability to accept disagreeable
facts and to get along with dis
agreeable persons depends largely
on the precise kind of health he
has,” maintains Walter B. Pitkin,
professor of journalism, Columbia
university, In "Dividends of
Health,” an article published in
Uygela Health Magazine.
How Chicks Live Inside
Egg Shell and Peck Out
How does the unhatched chick
breathe Inside Its shell. If It does
breathe? How does a chick know
when to hatch? How does It crack
Its shell?
These are some of the questions s
good many people would probably not
be able to answer.
Plainly, the shell of the egg looks
much too hard and brittle for an un
hntched. frail little creature to
crack without much difficulty. But
nature has equipped the chicken with
a special little “egg-tooth” for this par
ticular purpose. The egg tooth grows
on the upper beak of the chicken,
which uses it ns a little chisel with
which to break out of its shell when
its strengthening muscle makes It
stretch Its neck. The egg-tooth disap
pears a day or two after the chick
has hatched.
If you should paint an egg In which
there was a baby clilck, the little thing
would die of suffocation. For the ba
by chicks breathe Inside their shells
before they hatch as well as after
wards. The air comes right through
tlielr shells, which are full of very tiny
holes, though we can’t see them. In
the thin skin just under the shell
are many tiny blood vessels. These |
carry the air to all parts of the ds- !
veloplng chick and carry away the J
carbon dioxide which the unhatched
chicken, like all animals, gives off.
The chick, which begins as only s
speck in the yellow part of the egg,
requires water, too, as It grows, and
there is plenty of water in the egg;
and sometimes the newly hatched
chicks live for several days without
water because of the supply they had
In their shells.—St. Louis Globe-Demo

How Blotter! Come About
The discovery of blotting paper wai
due to an accident In an English paper
factory. A careless workman forgot
to put the sizing into a certain lot of
paper and the result was thought to
be an entire waste. The proprietor
of the mill was very angry and sat
down to write a note of protest to the
negligent workman. He thought that
a piece of the ruined paper would
be good enough for this purpose and
was further annoyed to find that hla
ink spread and was absorbed by the
paper. Then the Idea occurred to him
that the paper might be used Instead
of sand for drying wet Ink. Experi
ments proved him right, and the lot
of “ruined" paper was advertised un
der the name of “blotting paper.”—

SILVER
Some Pertinent Facts Relating
To Bimetallism.
By William A. Hesse.
The theory of bimetallism is
not a fad. It was not an hallu
cination of William Jenroings
Bryan, nor was he by any
means the father of the idea.
There are many people who
believe that bimetallism is
sponsored by certain mining in
terests for the benefit of that
industry. Nothing could be far
ther from the truth. Bimetall
ists agree that the restoration
of silver as money would help
the mining industry, yet that
in itself is so insignificant, that
it might well be neglected in i
the discussion of the subject.
There are 800,000,000 people
of the world living outside of
the United States who now use
silver exclusively as money and
who have always used silver
exclusively as money, and who
are unable to trade with us for
the reason that their money as
measured by gold is worthless.
These people would like to
buy our wheat, our cotton, our
salmon and our manufactured
articles but by reason of their
depreciated currencies are un
able to do so.
This is but half the story.
Since their money compared
with ours is depreciated it fol-}
lows that their production costs
are proportionately less, and
here is the source of most of
the world trouble today. Japan
with her currency depreciated
fifty per cent as compared with
curs is able to send her prod
ucts to our shores, pay the
freight and the duty and still
undersell the American pro
ducer. Other coutries are en
abled to do the same thing so
that apart from their being
able to undersell us in the
world market they have now
invaded our domestic market.
This not only goes merrily on
but increases as the gold dol
lar appreciates, so that our
gold instead of being an ad
vantage is now proving a

240,000,000; Europe, 550.000,000; Aus
tralia, 7,000,000; Asia, 900,000,000;
Africa, 150,000,000. It may be assumed
that half this number, or 1,000,000,000
are females. It Is estimated that the
globe's net gain In population Is 30,
000,000 a year.—Pathfinder Magazine.
How Many Mile* Japan Owns
Japan's mnndntes In the Pacific, In
cluding the former German colonial
possessions, extend for 1,200 miles
north from the Equator nnd for 2,500
miles from east to west The total
urea of Inml in this enormous ex
panse of sea is only 820 square miles
The Islands number C25, and the
groups are the Marianne islands, ex

United States; the Marshall Islands
and the Caroline islands.

curse.
Some people believe that be
cause we have silver coins we
still recognize silver as money.
A man recenty said, “Can I
not take a silver dollar to the
store and get one hundred
cents worth of goods for it?”
Assuredly you can, but melt
the dollar into bullion and see
what you get for it. The Gov
ernment stamp on the silver
dollar is the pledge of the Gov
ernment to honor it the same as
any other money that bears
that stamp. In the case of the
silver dollar 80 cents represents
the faith and credit of the Gov
ernment and 20 cents the value
of the bullion in the coin.
This is not, however, so with
gold coins, Any gold coin, un
less it is abraded, is worth ex
actly its face value when melt
ed into bullion. Each five, ten
and twenty dollar gold piece
has exactly five, ten and twen
ty dollars worth of pure gold
respectively in it at the time it
‘.s minted, the cost of minting
and the cost of the alloy is
borne by the Government and
that is what is meant by free
coinage.
The records show that in 437
years the ratio of production
of silver to gold was 14.14 to 1
and the records also show that
while there have been variat
ions in the production of the
metals from time to time, the
monetary ratio fixed by law
vvas not disturbed by the vari
ation in production. For ex
ample, from the year 1801 to
1850 the monetary ratio of sil
ver to gold remained at 15.7 to
1, notwithstanding the fact
that during that period 28
ounces of silver were produced
to one ounce of gold, while
from 1851 to 1873 there were
3.7 ounces of silver produced
to each ounce of gold and the
monetary ratio of silver to gold
stood at 15.5 to 1. In other
words the variation in the mon
itary ratio covering two peri
ods of extreme variation in pro
duction was slightly less than
two cents on the ounce of sil
ver.
