Proof That Wine Will Not Serve the
Purpose Where Frenchmen
Are Concerned.
The French schooner Argus, strug
gling against headwinds to get from
Dieppe to Marseilles, according to the
dispatches, ran out of water and for
three days the crew had nothing but
champagne and claret to drink. Near
ly every man was disabled by fever
and acute gastritis. It was with the
greatest gratitude that the captain of
the Argus swapped several cases of
champagne for a few barrels of water
from the Oceana, a Hoiubay liner.
Pathologists will say correctly that
there Is nothing new in this experi
ence. That wine will not take the
place of water and keep men In good
condition, has been known as long as
wine has been known. Three ele
ments, however. In the Ftory of the
Argus make It a striking lesson, em
phasizing an old truth. First, the men
were Frenchmen, with the French
man's habit of taking wine daily; sec
ond, the wines they drank as a substi
tute for water were presumably pure,
nnd the claret at least was relatively
light: third, the three day? U -rr"
short period for the disal u -, oi n
whole crew.
It is mighty lucky for tho hu.;ui;.
race that a water trust Is conceit
Impracticable.

The British Census.
In England a census is taken every
seven years. In tho United States the
work costs some $3,000,000; In Eng
land, with a population of 42,000,000,
the work Is done by regular public of
ficials without extra cost. There the
census is taken on a certain day at a
certain hour, usually Saturday at 11
p. m.,' because most people are then
at home. Printed circulars have been
sent by the police to every family
and to the owners of all lodgings and
hotels. These circulars contain blanks
which must be filled. The police round
up passers In the streets. Sometimes
a cranky Englishman who, for rea
sons of his own, does not want to
figure In the census, tries to evade the
government by riding around all night
In a cab. Ten chances to one he will
not succeed in his purpose. Cabs are
stopped as unhesitatingly as are street
cars or pedestrians. Tho government
wants to know. The government will
not be denied. The work Is done sim
ultaneously throughout the United
Kingdom. '

Overweights.
The excessive mortality of over
weights has been published by life In
surance statisticians, and the phenom
enon roust be considered in football
discussions. It is now a proved fact
that the men who are barred from the
game are the ones who live the long
est, and though mere length of life is
no criterion of its usefulness, yet It
is a fair assumption that the longest
lived are the most vigorous and there
fore the best brain workers.
The colleges are then spending the
most money on the students who will
give the least returns. Every now and
then some ingenious fellow publishes
statistics showing that students able
to take part in sports outlive those
too defective to take any part at all,
as though that needed numerical
proof.
The new statistics show that the
healthy underweights excluded from
football are fitter for survival

'Wouldn't you like to be able to

'No, ma'am," was the unexpected

'And why not?" asked the lady.

Pitchfork Burled In a Tree.
An old-fashioned hand made pitch
fork was found imbedded in a tree
trunk on the old Colyer farm near Lit

been stuck in the tree half a century
before. The tree had grown around it
until It covered all except one tine.
Russians Lovere of Music.
As patrons of music the Russians
are only second to the Germans; they
are devotees of the theater, where
musical productions are the chief

cordeon or some other cheap instrument.

France, like England, is a great lend

If you'll get a bottle of Dr. Bell's

cough will stop almost immediately
and your cold will disappear entirely
within a few hours.
This actually happens in millions of
cases.
That's why Dr. r.cll'3 finc-Tar-Honcy
outsells all other cough and
cold medicines and prescriptions in the
world.
It's absolutely harmless. No habit
forming drugs nothing hut old fash

real rhubarb real honey and several
other real beneficial ingredients all
plainly stated on the bottle.

It gets at the cause of the cold

healing and cooling to the irritated

You need it now and you ought to
