Another Is that'tinllke most Infections. ne attack of pneumonia confers no Im munity or protection against another; in Survive the first, second and even third attack f lung fever to die In his fourth. One reason why pneumonia so baffled medics I skill was, that although the germ nr, ratner, germs ior mere aro h leam four varieties of them, each producing a . Id fferent type of the disease were well known, the Infection seldom naturally Spreads to other human beings, and H Was for a long time rather difficult to transmit it experimentally tn animals. Further than that, the pneumo-coccua Iwhlch produced the most serious types of the disease was, if not identical with, tnulte hard to distinguish from two or three types of streptococci which were found tn abundance In the human mouthy about the roots of the teeth and ln the';, tonsils, even In conditions of perfect health. Bo that. we were driven to the dia trouraged conclusion, that some "state of the system" or lowered resisting power Er other unknown factor was necessary n order to allow the pneumonia coccus to get a foothold ln the lung and pro uce the disease; and there the caas tiung for a number of years.

Other more acrobatic stunt skating can never be so widely mastered and is there-, thould be crossed ln a gliding step and fore not nearly so popular, For the skater who dances fairly well and who skates Indifferently, but has already mastered the simple edges, the skating waits Is an ever new experience.

"And the way to end dreams Is to break them, stand, walk, go,", said Robert Browning, ln that line of poetry lies a wonderful sermon against yielding yourself to the illusions of your past. Life Is a ghost-ridden thing for many people. I knew once a man who lived In hts old homestead, a tumbledown, ramnharkle place which could hardly yield him a living.

MARSHALL brave criticism, and can be relied upon when difficulties arise. Men and women of this type are an inspiration to the discouraged. There la no subject of greater Impor tance than the subject of wholesome, happy, successful homes; because to pro duce such homes men and women must practice character bulld'ng and bring into play all the noble qualities of humsn nature and come in touch with the Influ ences of the invisible helpers. The men and women who make happy homes, homes which are centers of mor ality, cheerfulness, hospitality, love and peace, are, at the same time laying a foundation for the "home not made wltb hands" ln other realms. All of ststes- mansMp, all of science, all of art. all of Industry, Is useless and void of resut unless It results In happy, clean, beauti ful home lives for the people of the land.

But ha had a aentl mental feeling for the old place where his grandparents before him had lived and for years he insisted on refusing al sorts of wonderful offer from a real stale company which wanted to build a park along the line of his place Then he fell ln love with a girl end could not afford to marry her. He let her youth go by while she sat waiting for him to make good. He was gnost haunted, held by phantoms of the past. At last he was forced to give up the old place to a railroad which wanted the right-of-way. At the age of forty he found himself In possession of flO.006 and with absolutely no business training, There was nothing to aay that the dreamer he had proven himself to be should become a power ln the world ot men, and yet suddenly all te latent strength developed. Today at the age of fifty he is a happy husband and father and on of the "big men' ot a large western city. But tbe girl who waited died before I he ghosts that haunted him had been exorcised and his house of life had been made habttahie. Too many of ua are hideously held by some tradition. It may be loyalty to a place. It may be an accustomed way or doing things. It may even be an a'tempt to keep faiili aitli an outworn love. Wr ! fane y conr Ives fclu rt tl and sliarklci and the links that hold us are rusty and ready to fall apart at a touch. It is a hideous thing that life should be handicapped by an outgrown pant. It la ghaatly that one's future should he built on a tissue of lies. The only honest thing to do. is to faoa the present If I' la married by clrcumstnaces rising out of a past to which one has a sentimental desire to be loyal, the acid test of com mon sense must be brought to bear at once. Progress demands that none of use live ln a house of Illusions. Who wmil. light his house with candles because h grandfather had used tallow dips or read by tbe flickering light of gas when ' can have steadying burners or evun electricity? None of us ruin our eys n a matter of sentiment nor go out In the pouring rain without umbrellas ln-csusc there was once a time when umbrellas were unknown. We take advantage of all the discoveries of a modem world of science. Why not take advantage of every dis covery you make about yourself and your own world T If you are Ued to an outworn love, to an outworn method of doing things, to a place In life you find uncongenial or even to a profession you were mistaken to take up, make a clean breast and make It at once. I-y aside tu ghosts of your past. They need not haunt your life If you have the courage to figure out what In honesty In fait -ness to yourself, and so In honesty and fairness to the rest of the world, you want to do. "To thine own self be true; thou canst not then be false to any man." In living today according to the standards of ten years ago you are utterly falsa to your self as you are today, and It Is with that aelf you must feel. You would not at twenty-eight Insist on being a toe-dancer or a vendor of peanuts because at eigh teen those had looked like Ideal occupa tions. Apply that principle all through your life, for the ghosts of your past will haunt you only If you sit weakly and Impntently by and permit thrm to t'ontrol your life so quickly aa hardly to be noticed. The positions illustrated are the ordi nary positions taken for the skating waits. The step Is an ordinary forward outaldo edge, a three turn to the back in side edge on the same foot, and a pausing to the backward outside edge on tht other foot. Kveryone who skates will understand this simple description. The three positions make the three heats ot the walls tempo. Except for the forward three turns the lady should be on tha backward edges, bec-nune her partner must take the guid ing part, and must, therefore, l free to lock In the direction of the motion. Ef fort should always be eonoesled. as easo ar.d grace are the most esscntinl charac ter slice in pair skating. The trsi Ing leg should l trained to extreme suppleness, as Hgldness spoils the entire effort and elves the skaters an amateur sppearance. And above all. leat there be Irregularity of movement, let the strike off be simul taneous. Skate for beauty and not so much for liuslness. The seriousness of mastering echnlque Is one thing, but the lissome, -icrs snd prnce of a figure In aoanrton to Ime rhythm Is what elevates rkatlng to re highest form of poetry of motion.
