| Your Own Weight. +
| Dr. Harvey G. Beck of the Uniyes
| ty of Maryland told the Los
County Medical association a
way to calculate what one ought to
weigh. First, he said, put down 110,
then subtract 5 feet from one’s height
and multiply the number of inches that
| remain by 5%. Add this product to
| the original 110 and the sum is one’s
ideal weight.
The Souvenir McKinley
Gold Dollars
Early in 1916 Congress authorized the coinage of one hun-
dred thousand souvenir gold dollars in commemoration of the
erection of the McKinley Birthplace Memorial and for the pur-
pose of aiding in defraying the cost of completing the work. ....
The coins bear McKinley's likeness in the obverse and a rep-
resentation of the Memorial on the reverse side... As Mr. Butler
describes them: “The coinage is unique and rare, exemplifying
the unostentatious intelligence of the owner of the souvenir, as
well as his or her reverence for the great things in American
history.”.. When these 100,000 are distributed, no more will be
coined; this fact alone will add value to their possession, and
that value will increase as the years go on.

Fate of the Indolent.
It is the common fate of the indo-
lent to see their rights become a prey
to the active. The condition upon
which God hath given liberty to man
is eternal vigilance; which condition
if he break, servitude is at once the
consequence of his crime and the pun-
ishment of his guilt.—John Philpot

On Floor of the Ocean.
It is believed that to an enormous
extent the bed of the ocean is covered
with lava and pumice stone. Still more
remarkable is it to find the floor of
the ocean covered in many parts with
the dust of meteorites. These bodies
whirl about in the heavens like minia-
ture comets, and are for the most part
broken into innumerable fragments.

SAVING THE TIRES..
Some Advice on How to Treat Them
to Make Them Last.
«Practical tests prove that a car is!
not stopped as quickly when the wheels
are locked as when the brakes are ap-
plied gently, but firmly,” said a tire ex-
pert in a talk about tires.
“By locking the wheel and skidding
the tire the rubber is scraped and torn
off and the canvas laid bare. Goodby
tire. A tube must be placed inside a
casing, and every crease must be elim-
inated. A carelessly fitted tube will
be subjected to abnormal tension in |
several places and will be sure to burst
in inflating.
“Many drivers still run on deflated
tires. There is nothing will ruin a shoe
quicker than this. When you get a
puncture, stop immediately and make
repairs or change shoes. When rubber
comes in contact with oily or fatty sub-
stances it blisters and disintegrates.
See that your tires do not come in
contact with any kind of grease.
“We have known brand new tires to
wear out in only 150 miles of driving,
simply because the front wheels were
not properly aligned. If your wheels
are not parallel and true, have them
tested. at once and the trouble cor-
rected.
“Vulcanizing by an incompetent per-
gon is dangerous and costly, resulting
usually in rubber losing its elasticity.”
—New York Post.
PUT THE RUBBISH TO USE.
Old Clothes and Furniture May Be
Needed by Others.
If there is a piece of furniture about
the house that is not actually in use
give it away. Get rid of it; clean up
the rubbish: clear out the attic; don’t
allow useless articles to accumulate,
i The habit of hoarding was formed in
the jungle away back when the race
| was hard pressed. Cur ancestors later
: on found that it was a part of wisdom
: to hang on to everything they could get
hold of, on the theory that it would
some day be of use, and generally it
was of use. So we have clung to the
{ habit of hoarding until at this time
there are many articles about every
{ home which are absolutely useless and
' which will never be used by the house
hold. Get rid of them,
| The conservation of resources—the
economy about which we hear so much
| —does not contemplate the withholding
' from use of anything that may be of
use. Indeed, conservation means using
, to the utmost that which is usable in a
| rational way. So you are actually con-
' gerving the wealth of the world by dis-
posing of that which is of no use to
| you, but which may be of use to some
' one else.—Columbus Dispatch.
Courage and Cruelty.
it is one of the mean and morbid lies
that physical courage is connected with
cruelty. Tolstoyan and Kiplingite are
nowhere more at one than in maintain-
ing this. They have, I believe. some
! small sectarian quarrel with each
: other, the small one saying that cour-
' age must be abandoned because it is
connected with cruelty and the other
maintaining that cruelty is charming
| because it is a part of courage. But it
| 1s all, thank God, a lie. An energy and
boldness of body may make a man
| stupid or reckless or dull or drunk or
hungry, but it does not make him
gpiteful.—Gilbert K. Chesterton.
