DON’T WAIT FOR BREAKDOWN Writer Gives Reasons Why It Pays to Have Regular Times for Physical Examinations. Most people have had the experience of going to a doctor for an examina tion at some time in their lives, some have hud to go many times. Usually they have gone because there was something wrong with them, pain, fever, a cough, a rash or what not, but anyway, something for the doctor to study, give u name to und prescribe for. But Imagine the factory manager who waits for, the machinery in his plant to break down before be gives thought to having it overhauled—how long would he keep his job? Is his machinery more important or more liable to accidents than that of your body? Don’t you think it would pay to have it overhauled before the break down comps and to see if the machin ery is really being run efficiently? In Hygela, Dr. Haven Emerson, pro fessor of public health In Columbia uni versity, gives reasons enough to con vince the most skeptical that health ex aminations pay, not only In increased health but also in dollars and cents. “It has grown^to be a custom" for peo ple who employ men and women in large numbers In shops and factories “to have each new employee examined to see If he or she is in sound health." And again: “Many of the unions are requiring an annual health examina tion of their members, because they have found this the best way to pre vent the Illnesses which cost their sick benefit funds so much,” If these peo ple who are in big business find It worth while and economical there ia probably something in It. *__ STILL AFTER BOLL-WEEVIL Department of Agriculture Experts Looking Into Another Scheme for Pest's Extermination. An attempt to attack the conquering cotton boll-weevil by more subtle means than have hitherto been em ployed Is about to be started by the Department of Agriculture. Such crude methods as gassing and poison ing having been Ineffective, the Insect Is going to he lured to his doom throngh his sense of smell. At least sneh Is the hope of the department experts. A research Is about to he begun to And out If there be any particular odor or emanation from the cotton plant which attracts the weevil. If such Is found, It will he studied until the chemical substances which cause Its action are Isolated. It Is hoped these may then be made synthetically and used to lure the pest of the cotton Aelds from the cotton to poison baits or else to cause him to raise a family before the cotton la developed enough to furnish them with proper means of support.—By Science Service. 8chools in Philippines.

One of these solemn statistical re searches Into the divorce question has been completed back East, and the re searchers have announced with proper Impressiveness the result of their In quiry. They announce eight principal reasons for the prevailing Instability of marriage. One reason is: “Failure of contracting parties to regard properly the solemn bonds of matrimony.” The other seven reasons don't mat ter. All divorce researches so far have been, In a sense, failures. That Is, none of them has yet discovered that 85 per cent of all divorces result from refusal of the party of the second part to appreciate properly the humorous anecdotes told by the party of the first part.—Spokane Spokesman-Review. Reason for Embarrassment. I had always been accused of doing eccentric things, but 1 didn't realize the truth of It until one Sunday. I roomed Just across the street from the church I attended. I went to church without an umbrella. When the serv ices were over It was pouring outside. Having on a perfectly respectable un derskirt. I turned my suit skirt over my head. Half way across the street a little boy rushed up to me and shouted: “Teacher, you've got both your skirts over your head!”—Ex change. Honor Memory of Byron.

Thomas was then an advance ugeut, working the territory ahead of u famous mind reader of a generation ago, and generally working it for all it was worth. In Minnesota he managed to land his thought di viner on the front pages of the news papers by asking for a reprieve for two brothers, due to he executed for mur der, until his psyscblc wizard could ar rive on (tie spot, rend the minds of the j condemned men and determine whether the jury were good guessers In finding them guilty.

Pictures and Appetite*. Christiania, Norway, has a restau rant where the "feast of reason and flow of soul" Is nightly associated with crowded tables. A Norwegian painter of repute was engaged to dec orate the walls of the dining saloon. When he had completed the work, he could not obtain payment, and took the proprietor to court. The owner declared the pictures were Inartistic and drove customers away. He wanted the artist to pay for erasing the paintings, and also to pay for another to decorate the walls In a more, attractive manner. Several critics bore testimony to the excellence of the work. While the court Is con sidering the question, the restaurant 1* crowded nightly with guests more critical of its pictures than of Its viands, v Drawing a Fin# Lina. Many Indianapolis needy people go to a certain charity worker for advice as well as for aid. The other day a colored woman came with a lacerated face. She told her story in plain lan guage. Her husband had heat her whenever he wanted exercise. She wanted the charity woman to tell her how to cure him of the “fault.” The charity worker looked at her a few minutes.
