Chief Justice Jotiu Marshall was not
tn orator of the "spellbinder" type, but
after he bet:an practice at the Rich
mond (Ya.l bar, be was recogulzed as
a convincing speaker. William Wirt,
one of the (.Teat lawyers of the day,
though several years younger than
Marshall, said of him: "This extraor
dinary man. without the aid of fancy,
without the advantages of person,
voice, attitude, gesture or any other or
naments of an orator, deserves to be
considered as one of the most eloquent
men in the world, if eloquence may be
said to consist in the power of seizing
the attention with an Irrepressible
force, and never permitting it to elude
the grasp until tbe bearer bus received
the conviction wblcb the speaker In
tends." Whether an eloquent advo
cate or not Marshall must have been
rated a great lawyer, for Washington
offered him a position in his cabinet as
attorney general, which he declined,
and President Adams, in 1793, offered
him a place on the supreme bench,
which was also declined before be was
finally in 1801 appointed chief Justice.

called the "father of street traffic reg

The Fungous Plant
All the energies of the fungous plant
seem to be directed to tbe production
of germs for propagating its kind.
Their number is often almost lncalcu-
lable. Yon bnve doubtless observed
that the common puffbull when mu
ture Is filled with a fine dust, and this
consists entirely of spores correspond
ing to seeds, which are eventually dif
fused Iu tbe air by the bursting of the
puffbull. In a single puffbull more
than 10.000.000 of them have been
counted, and when these minute bod
les are once set n flout In the atmos
phere they are distributed abroad over
an indefinite space, being so small that
it is difficult to conceive of a place
from which they could be excluded.
Their astonishing fertility and rapid
ity of growth are among the most re
markable characteristics of this vege
table tribe.
GOOD ADVICE ABOUT
Real Shaves In India.
Tbe natives of India go in a great
deal for shaving and do not confine
themselves to merely shaving the chin,
but on occasion will shave the eye
brows as well, and in tbe case of cer
tain rites und ceremonies the bend,
too, is completely shaved. No soap Is
used, but the beard is softened by be
ing rubbed over with a Utile cold wa
ter. The razors employed are general
ly of native manufacture and have fix
ed bandies that do , not fold. More
over, they are very much heavier than
those of European make. The strop
consists of a small piece of leather
the size of a man's palm nnd is held
In the open hand during stropping.
The recognized cost of a shave is 1
pice, which Is the exact equivalent of
1 farthing. Cleveland Plain Dealer.
It Worked.
A young lady took down the re
ceiver and discovered that the tele
phone was in use. "I just put on a
pan of beans for dinner," she heard
one woman complacently informing
another.
She hung up the receiver and
waited. Thre times she waited, and
then, exasperated, she broke into the
conversation.
"Madam, I smell your beans burn
ing," she announced crisply. A hor
rified scream greeted the remark,
and the young lady was able to put
in her rail. Christian Endeavor

What to do to be at Your Best Pur
inn Hot Weather.
By Dr. R. R. Daniels.
The summer is by no means an un
healthful season. During hot weath
er with a little care as to the food
bathing and fresh air practically ev
eryone can have good health.
A Winter Diet in Summer.
The food we eat during hot weath
er, more than everything else, is re
sponsible tor summer health or sick
ness. It is a fact that the body uses
up during the summer Just one-third
of the heavy food meat, bread, po
tatoes and such foods as during the
winter. For this reason if we are go
ing to be well in hot weather we mu U
eat sparingly of all heavy foods. Eat
ing too much heavy food in hot
weather leaves considerable unused
food to ferment and decompose in the
stomach and bowels; this keeps up a
constant irritation of the stomach
and bowels and is the principal cause
for our stomach and bowel disorders.
Furthermore, the constant poisoning
of the systew from too much heavy
food overworks the kidneys and liver
causes that tired, all-gone feeling,
lowers the desease-resisting power
and gets the body ready for summer
and fall diseases.
Summer Foods.
Our summer diet should consist of
a limited amount of the heavy foods,
such as meats, breads, potatoes and
cereals, and an abundance of fresh
vegetables, both cooked and raw.
Milk, buttermilk and icec ream, also
fruits and melons, are all excellent
foods for summer lunches.
Drink Plenty of Water.
We sholud drink an abundance of
water during the summer, but we
sl.ould not drink ice water, neither
should we drink directly after a meal,
nor in any amount while digestion is
going on, for the reason that con
stantly adding fluid to the digesting
food delays digestion.
Bathe Often.
A daily sponge bath in hot weather
adds much to both health and com
fort. When so much of the impuri
ties is being carried out of the body
through the skin, a daily bath is al
most a necessity. Frequent bathing
keeps the skin in condition to per
spire easily and thus helps us to
"stand the heat."

lllJnpHE remarkable favor shown by the
A shooting public to Kemington-UMG rifles
and shotguns, shot shells and metallics means just
one thing
That sportsmen everywhere are becoming more con
scious of their desire for the dependability that they find
only in Remington-UMC arms and ammunition.
So you see the keen sportsman, when buying a new rifle or
shotgun, go to the dealer who displays the Red Ball Mark of Rem
ington-UMC. Or if he is already fitted with a rifle or shotgun, his J
tendency is more and more to shoot Kemington-UMC shot shells
and metallics the ammunition that flatters any make of gun.

displays it. Look for it on every box of arrnunition you buy.
