Tennis Old Recreation
So far back as 1-127 we hear of a
famous female player of tennis, one
Aiargot, who ‘‘played both forehanded
and backhanded very powerfully, very
cunningly and very cleverly, as any
man could.” The expressions ‘‘fore
handed” and “backhanded” have thefr
historic value, for they seem to Indi
cate that rackets were introduced into
the game before 1427.
Feel All Out of Sorts?
Is backache spoiling your summer?
Do you get up lame and stiff—feel tired
all day? Are you so nervous and worn
out you cannot rest or relax? Look,
then, to your kidneys! Sluggish kidneys
allow poisons to accumulate and upset
the whole system. When this happens
you are apt to suffer backache, sharp
pains, soreness, stiffness, dizziness and
annoying kidney irregularities. Help
your kidneys with a stimulant diuretic.

BY ARTHUR BRISBANE
While this nation discusses Darwin,
evolution, William Jennings Bryan,
Professor Scopes, science, theology,
etc., Mother Nature proves that she
has not "theories” and her eternal
taws work without fear or favor.
On the same evening in New York
lightning struck the Museum of Nat
ural History, the home of evolution,
with stuffed monkeys of all kinds
purporting to prove it.
The same lightning storm set fire
to a hospital and struck and shat
tered the great cross on St. Patrick's
cathedral.
The church, by erecting lightning
rods and taking out fire insurance,
has long recognized the fact that
providence nevei*vtwists or alters its
iaws, not even in favor of itself.
Once, when Ingersoll was to speak
(n a small town, lightning hit a
jhurch next to the hall in which he
was to speak. Ingersoll was Jocose
about it, saying, “somebody is a bad
shot.” He might better have preached
about the impartiality of eternal law.
Eleven scientists and an army of
lawyers will fight on the famous Dar
win-Bryan-Scopes - evolution-monkey
case. The scientists should Include a
professor of embryology.
If the jury could see in pictures the
gradual evolution of a human being
and one of the higher apes, before
birth, it would be at least Interest
ing. Every gorilla Is born with two
club feet. Every human being at one
stage of its development has such
feet. But it goes on developing be
fore It Is born, and, except in rare
cases, arrives with human feet.
It’s a terribly complicated question,
and everybody ought to be glad Mr.
Bryan is going to settle It, once and
for all.
The Morning Post of London thinks
"the United States Is going to the
dogs. It has too much money, too
many laws, and Its crime wave is a
bad symptom.”
We can assure our British brothers
that some of our many laws Inter
fere little with our much money.
Money doesn’t notice the laws very
closely, and some of the laws, pro
hibition, for Instance, don’t disturb
the possessor of money.
Tou are reminded of the colored
man who said his master was not
disturbed by the numerous mosquitoes
because In the evening his master
was so "toxifled” that he didn’t notice
the mosquitoes and In the morning
the mosquitoes were so "toxifled” they
didn’t notice his master.
In spite of all our defects, clearly
visible to our British brothers, we
are at laast building up this country.
S. W. Straus, whose institution Is
the biggest of American builders, tells
re&l_ estate men in Detroit that the
American building program this year
will amount to $6,000,000,000, $250,
000,000 more than last year.
We not only bulid, but rebuild.
Substantial buildings In the United
States are torn down every year to
make room for bigger buildings.

Twenty thousand parading stu
dents in Peking cry, “death to the

put deeds back of their words, Europe
would worry.
If some young leader, from Russia
perhaps, could organize the Chinese,
for a few years, patiently build up
a gigantic air force, training filers to
run 25,000 airships, and then start
toward Europe with poison gas and

“Why the glad rags?”

PROHIBITION.
Henry Ford.
We belteve that If the opposi
tion to prohibition were analyzed
It would be found that it was
mainly alien. We believe that
every true American is for It heart
and soul. We believe that If prohi
bition were to be put before the
nation tomorrow there would
again be an overwhelming flood
of public opinion In Its favor. Al
though the friends of prohibition
may not be so aggressive as its
enemies, they are firmer In their
convictions.
It is not In the wide open spaces
that the defiance of the prohi
bition laws Is the most prevalent,
but in the crowded urban centers
where alien Influence and alien
eagerness for money-getting are
at work.
After Its five years of trial, pro
hibition is not a failure. It is the
people who have neglected to cor
respond with It who are the fail
ures. If it took^Christianlty hun
dreds of years to obtain a footing,
why should anyone consider five
years sufficient for a tryout of tho
greatest reform since the intro
duction of Christianity itself? The
good that has already come from
it Infinitely outweighs the evil,
and the evils that are, do not arise
from prohibition but the failure
to practice it.
might change.
Its. would be different from the old
days, when the Mongolians came
marching from the east on shaggy
little ponies and on foot, and Attila
boasted, “when I stick my spear in
the ground the earth shivers.”
Europe, that once narrowly escaped
the rule of the Moslems, may one
day experience Asiatic rule. In the
end, fortunately. Intelligence rules the
earth, and European races modestly
assume that they possess the intelli
gence.
The total estate of Senator La
Follette amounts to $39,000. Practical
politicians will ask, “what was he
thinking about? Was that the best he
could do after being governor of his
state three times, and senator of the
United States four times?"
Just a few little "concessions," as
the practical men call them, would
have enabled La Follette to leave
$1,000,000 Instead of $39,000 to his
widow.
Mr. Harris, American consul, baek
from Singapore, tells the world that
Great Britain controls all the rubber

the Britons rule tho rubber situa
tion.”
Englishmen are good business men,
they understand the use of the
"trust” in building up the British
empire. We should not criticize but
ea/;erly learn from them.
"Tho Spirit of the Hive”
One of my husband's numerous
cousins is a naturalist. His field Is
tho study of "coleoptera," which
means beetles. I should like to have
him read "The Spirit of the Hive’’
and tell me what he thinks of It,
though I’m afraid his cold and sci
entific spirit would be so repelled by
the flowery language applied to the
humble bee, that he would destroy
for me my novice’s delight In this
surprising mixture of nature lore,
philosophy and rhapsody. Just the
mere factual Information about the
Individual and social organization of
the bee, is amazing. The division of

our human society seem like ths
clumsy block construction of an
awkward giant.
The most Interesting part of the
book, but one which our cousin
would scorn, I fear, * Is when Mr,
Sharp starts philosophizing about the
world and God. He likens the social
organization of the bee, with Its ruth
less sacrifice of the Individual to
society, to a socialist's Utopia, and
muses upon what a cruel, bloodless
affair such an organization would
make of life. He ponders: "in spite
of centuries of bee-keeping, men still
arm for war. And It seems now to be
largely about oil, as If oil, not milk
and honey, were the emblem of the
Promised Land! How much sweeter
a little garden flowing with milk and
honey than a ranch in some vast
wilderness flowing with crude oil. A
little garden, I say, in Hlngham,
humming with bees and fragrant with
flowers, than a world thundering
with armies and stinking of blood
and oil.”
If every boy or girl, who ponders
upon the question of creation and
sex could read with understanding
this book of nature lore, he or she
would go fortified with a precious
and Impregnable armor of knowl
edge and reverence.
"When."
"When mine hour Is come
Let no teardrop fall
And no darkness hover
Round me where I lie.
Let the vastness call

Walks along the world
And Us silent tread
Leaves the grasses bright.
Leaves the flowers uncurled,
Let me to the dead
Breathe a gay goodnight.

Timepiece That Talks
Is a New Invention
A clock that speaks the time every
fifteen minutes has been invented.
This speaking timepiece, it is said,
differs very little from the ordinary
clock. It has the same kind of face
nnd standard works, with the excep
tion that to the minute shaft is fast
ened an automatic lever nnd cam
which is .actuated every fifteen min
utes by the minute wheel. This lever,
in turn, works a second lever which
is attached to a drum currying a
phonograph film.
inis action of the first lever upon
the second starts an electric motor
causing the film to move. When this
occurs the stylus of the phonographic
reproducer Is acted upon and the time
Is vocally announced. The phono
graphic reproducer Is fitted with a
small horn that intensifies the sound.
The clock also has a repeating de
vice.—Pathfinder Magazine.
Women Good Judge
A Philadelphia Judge, \\4th a close
approach to the wisdom of Solomon
permitted a woman who had been
beaten by a drunken husband ofT and
on for 30 years to pass sentence upon
■her unworthy spouse. The woman
started o(f by telling the wan that
she ought to send him up for a
year. He begged for mercy, took the
pledge, promised to pay his wife $15 a
week out of his $22 salary, and was
placed on probation for a year. The
woman was not a hulf-bad Judge,
either.—Health Culture,
