When Lucy Seuver married William
Edson aud was able to have calling
cards with "Mrs. William Kdson" en
graved upon them , she felt that life
had no higher oride in store for her.
She preserved this attitude through all
the years of her married life.
When Mr. Edsou died she was incon
solable , and even after several years
of widowhood she hotly resented any
Indication that her friends had for
gotten her lamented William for one
moment.
"It makes me .so angry. " she said to
one whom she suspected of carelessness
in the matter , "to be spoken of or
thought of as 'Mrs. Lucy Edson. It is
an insult to William's memmory. "
"Oh , I'm sure it's never meant for
that. " said the friend , hastily. "Only
it's quite customary among certain
people , you know , for a widow to take
her Christian name have letters ad-
Iresscd to her in that way and so on. "
"It will never he with me. " said the
widow , indignantly. "I prefer always
to he known as the late Mrs. Willian :

"I had been exceedingly nervousthin ,

nnd drinking Postum Food Coffee about
a month my nervousness disappeared
and has never returned. Tins is the
more remarkable as I am a primary

"Best of-nil , I changed from coffee to
I'ostum without the slightest incon
venience , did not even have a hend-

were visiting me , to use Postnm a week
without being aware that they were not
drinking coffee.
"I have known several to begin the
use of Postum and drop It because they
did not boil it properly. After explain

have tried it again and pronounced it

fs5j2 claimed its annu
al toll of victims.
Thirteen dead
youths and chil
dren , scores o f
p e r w a u u u t 1 y
maimed and dis-
fi g u r e d players
and the thousands
of parents who
have been the real
sufferers in the
"scrimmages" and "downs" have paid
the yearly tribute to tne game.
"Debrutalized" football , declared a
sport even for children , has listed but
one less victim in the forty-two daya
of the present season than last year.
The record year was in 1903 , when
public outcry arose against the "sport"
that had killed twenty-four and in
jured 200 players.
The death list of 1907 cannot be
computed until a month or more after
the season has ended. Internal inju
ries , partial paralysis and other causes
have always added a gloomy chapter
to the football postseason. Concus
sion of the brain and fractured skulls
disabled six of the victims now listed
only in the injured column. Spinal in
juries not now deemed serious ended
the football career of others. Not for
many years may the final tabulation
be made upon the football victims of
1907.
The revised rules of the game have
not fulfilled the hopes of their fraru-
ers. While the deadly mass plays have
been eliminated they have been suc
ceeded by evolutions in which the
speed and combination plays have
proved almost as hazardous to the an
tagonists.
In the uncertain imitation of high
school boj-s and other amateurs the
rapid work has wrought havoc to the
players. Broken and dislocated bones
have become common incidents of the
field , which in many cases have not
even been made public by the players
who have left the gridirons for the
surgeon's table.
In the university teams the list of
injured has decreased but slightly by
the "reformed" rules. Swarthmore ,
Princeton , Yale and other universities
have contributed scores to the list of
injured , and many with broken bones.
The "reformed" game has been
abruptly ended in several smaller cit
ies in which players have been serious
ly injured or killed. Mayor Coehrane
of Columbus , Ind. , took the lead when
he ordered football in any form pro
hibited after Earl Ruddell , a high
school player , had been killed. The
precedent has been followed by other
city officials who have been unable to
discern the "debrutalizing" of the pas
time.
Lowell's View of Mars.
Prof. Percival Lowell , th noted as-
; ronomcr , in his first paper for the Cen
tury oa "Mars as the Abode of Life , "
points out that modern astronomy deals
largely with tbe physical branch of the
subject , and says that the study of the
evolution of the planets as worlds consti
tutes the connecting link in the long chain
of evolution from the nebular hypothe
sis to the Darwinian theory. lie refers
to the collision of two suns , which was
the beginning of our solar rysteni , and
shows how the meteorites which fall upon
our earth have been found to contain
many known elements , and not one of
these new , thus showing their constitu
tion cognate to that of the earth. Mars ,
he says , is the fundamental factor in
the whole process of planet evolution.
Though all planets were the same in es
sence at the start , .1 difference in their
size would change their quality as time
went on. In each case evolution began
only when the h at of the body decreased.
Prof. Lowell says that at the maximum
heat each planet was peculiar. Some
may have been white hot , some were red
hot and some darkly warm. At first the
heat gained by contraction surpassed that
lost by radiation. The life history of a
planet was long or short in proportion to
its size. Mars has been found to be al
most devoid of irregularity , and close
calculations show that there are no
mountains , and that the maximum eleva
tions are about 2,000 or 3,000 feet. In
explanation of this is cited the computa
tion of the internal heat of Mars at 2,000
degrees , as compared with 10,000 degrees
for the internal heat of the earth. This
means that Mars has very little volcanic
action , nnd but little crinkling of the

False Inability Legalized.
TitJes of nobility in France have be
come quite common , though France is
ostensibly a most democratic republic.
But it is shown that of the 43,000 per
sons there , who use titles of nobility ,
onto * 433 families have any moral right
to them. A legal right they have , as
under French law , anyone can change
his name by carrying out certain rules
and forms. Rich Americans , mostly
business men. take out permits annual
ly , to the average of sixty , to assume
the name of some property they have
bought , though possession of an estate
is not a necessity. It , "however , ' ' .ends
a certain glamor to the name. This
false nobility figures largely Ui society
papers , even in London , and the doings
of the Comte de and the Marquis
de are read with avidity , though
these people are merely purchasers of
the right so to stvle themselves.

PREVENTION.
Sinks , drains , eating and cooking
utensils , sick room linen and clothing
frequently carry the dreaded disease-
germ unnoticed by the household.
Thorough and hygienic cleansing is
the best safeguard against infection ,
and such a safeguard is found in the
universal household necessity Borax.
This simple preventive carries in it
self , disinfecting qualities which enter
the fabric or act upon the article to be
cleansed in a hygienic manner , elimi
nating every unwholesome property ,
rendering it contagion-proof , while at
the same time Borax is of itself as
harmless as salt.
Unlike most disinfectants which de
pend upon their strength of odor or
harmful-to-the-system qualities , to ar
rest or prevent contagion , Borax is Na
ture's remedy , being easy to obtain and
easy to apply , a simple solution in hot
water being all the application neces
sary and requiring no prescription , it
can be obtained from any grocer or
druggist in convenient , economical
household packages.
In addition to its disinfecting quali
ties , Borax is especially a household
necessity , and can be used for soften
ing \\ater , cleansing and whitening
clothes , clearing the skin , whitening
hands , makes an excellent dandruff re
mover and can be used on the finest
laces or most delicate fabrics without
injury , while as an adjunct to the bath
it removes all odor of perspiration and
leaves the skin soft and velvety.

Productive Power of "Western Can
ada Soil.
Winnipeg correspondence :
There has never been any who have
doubted the productiveness of the soil
of Western Canada , butthere ; axe some
times found those who fluestiou the fact
of its superiority. During the past
season it has been sho\vn that in grain-
raising qualities it possessed the very
best. The late spring \prevented \ grain
being sown in many cases before the
middle of May. Yet , a large percentage
of that sown at that tiuiq produced ex
cellent yields. Had it not been for the
frost early in August , which visited
most of the north half of the continent ,
there would have been a magnificent
yield in every district in Western Can
ada. Throughout the Southern Alberta
district , where about 100.000 acres was
sown to winter wheat , the yield will
be enormously large. There are vast
tracts of valuable grain-growing land
in Western Canada that are available
for homesteads , the Canadian Govern
ment giving 100 acres free , and entry
may be made by proxy , by any near
relative , thus saving considerable cost
to the American who may have entry
made in this way. Any Canadian Gov
ernment Agent will give you the par
ticulars.
