'- MISK SMITH Miss Smith was an elderly spinster and lived In a little house with vines on tho front porch and an old-fashioned garden liVthe back yard. She had nn established Income sufficient for her few necessities. ' For several weeks Miss Smith had been ailing. To use hr own expres sion, she felt "poorly.' At times she would nibble crackers fur supper be cause she couldn't muster tlm energy to conk anything. She felt her pulse nt frequent Intervals, and her heart seemed unsympat helically regular: hut she had ninny elusive pains and random aches, and at night when she read patont medicine circulars she was able to Identify in horself the symptoms of every fatal disease de Bcrlh'cd. Hhf realised that she was going to die, and that without long delay. She did not greatly care. For a long time Mho had been awaro thut people did not appreciate her, urn! It would be some satisfaction to put them to the inconvenlenco of nticndtng her fu neral.. Tho funeral service would , bo at tho house, of course. And 'doubtless they would place the coffin there by th'e long window. It would look bet tor there. And, of course, all the neighbors would come and sit almn?. waiting for the hour of service. They would sit ami whisper, and doubtless some of them would took sharply into corners In quest of dust. Amy Itrown would do that. Tho thought of Amy Itrown dis turbed Miss Smith, a ml she got up and began to peer Into corners. There was dust everywhere. She had neg lected her housework, and -he knew what the critics would say. Well, she couldn't afford to die with tho house tn that state. If she dropped itid in the attempt, she would at least die fighting to preservo her good name. Again, to use her own c.pr?MMon, the first day of mopping and polish ing "did her up," but on the mor ning of the fourth day. when she was awakened by the song of birds and : snt up to glance about a room In which the streaming sunshine sought in "vain to find n speck of dUHt. she waft conscious of a new vigor that im pelled her to nay: I'm a-goln' over to .call on Amy today to see If I can nee any dust." It is a simple prescription for people Who feci "poorly."

When the civic boosters of Chattanooga, lenn., cnine to the realization that the little neighboring town of Dayton was to grab a choice bit of national' advertising through the test case of Ten nessee's new aiiti-ovolution law they set about arranging a little eiise for their own. courthouse. "Whereupon the Dayton boomers retaliated by threatening to boyecrtt Chattanooga. It is obvious that at least two southern communities arc less afraid that a battle hctween the evolutionists and anti-evolutionists will hang upon the mthc stigma of heresy or intolerance than that they will lose for themselves a golden opportunity to get front page space in the nation's newspapers. This limy be rather dis appointing to those sections of the country which have been con vinced by 'William Jennings Uryan and southern legislatures that a part of the South has taken the controversy seriously. The quarrel between Dayton and Chattanooga is an amusing prologue to what the public anticipates will be an entertaining trial. ROADS NOT THE MILKAGE of hard-surfaced roads is estimated by the United States department of agriculture at between 450,000 and 475,000 miles. 'It corrects an ground that the anfcmnt of road building scheduled for any one year provides a net gum in road improvement.- A large part of the wor kcarried on annually, the major part, probably, consists in re building or resurfacing roads previously ated as hard-surface roads ut which need repair. The actual 1921 is estiniated at not greatly in excess of 00,000 miles. Thus the 24,000 miles of work under way this year -will not' provide an ecpuiT mileage gained in 'hard roads, though tlic increase will be ma terial. I I'-' vl : Improved roads, the department the movement of every vehicle which is less if the road be improved than if it be left in a state of nature.

The trouble ao many doc tors mix both tobacco and mystery with their prescriptions. Mystery and secrecy are two legs of the tripod on which the success of the nostrum and quackery business de pends. The third leg I'll tell you about if We ever meet. You see, health is the first consideration with me, and I must try to take good' care of my own health. Indeed , my own health is the very first consideration Witti me, and after that comes your health. I Would even neglect our health a lit tle, that is, withhold fi-om you inform ation or instruction of use to you In keeping well if tho giving of the In- iurinaiiun or instruciipn tcnaoa to in jure my own health. For .unless I keep porfoctly woll, the infomation or Instruction I give you is likely to bo of an inforior if not ari : abnormal char actor, and that would 90 pretty bad for your health, wouldn't it: I'll say it would, for fear you may not immedi ately see the point. Thero Is a very old saying, "Physician, heal thyself!" It never Impressed mo as a very wise remark, for many a physician stricken and really dying of disease has never theless healed plenty of patients. If you change It to "Health teacher, show ub!" it seems more reasonable, now, doesn't It? One of the Important medical dis coveries of this generation is the dis covery that goiter Is duo to a lack of lodin and that the trouble is absolutely preventable by supplying, a minute quantity of lodln in one form or an other, in medlcino. in water or In food. Where approximately half of the school children show somo sign of goiter It has been found that tho ad-' ministration of a minute doso of io- dln in some form will not only cure the goiter already developed In a good many qises. but it practically never produces any untoward effect. It Is a great surprise, therefore, to find tho New York State health de partment, always somnolent nnd back ward in action, suddenly printing in the newspapers of tho state a warning that tho general uso of Iodized salt in stead of ordinary salt ,ono of tho best methods of Insuring the necessary iodin ration for overybody) "may do serious harm when used by persons having goiter already developed." al though in the samo queer press bulle tin the Hip Van Winkle health au thorities attempt to assure the befud dled public that "experience indicates hint salt containing a small amount of lodln Is effective In preventing goiter." Tho Joker In tho press notice issued by tho New York politicians comes in the lust lino: "Dr. Kimball advised that tha administration of 'minute quantities of lodln in tablet form to children needing It be continued in the Syracuse schools." That "tablet form" refers to a pro prietary nostrum which costs about a thousand times moro than iodized salt or sodium iodld or ordinary tincture of lodln. That's tho mystery, you j QIKSTIONS AXI) AXSWKUS. Anything lliu 1'hj slology.

Answer Which Is a question in physics, nut physiology. You will study ahyslcs, of course, when you enter hlKh school It is one f tho few essential subjects for a general edu cation. The Jaw Is a lever, the Ju being tho fulcrum, the masaeter temporal muscles the power and the Rum you're chewing or the nut you're ciacklng the weight. One of the laws of physics relating to levers is that a given power will support a welsht as many time as Urns us Ihe weight arm. Now ll.p'r yiiii are Kat Fanny Just supiHwc. And you're on the tccler and bounce poor Skinny Winnie on the PUZZLE "STORY; HAT ""iS. a h iJ I can sit on the shorter arm of the lever and bounce poor Skinny Winino on the long arm, right up In the air, but if she gets out far enough on the long arm you won't be able to bounce her at all. That's physics, the way they dno't teach it in school. Tell the teacher that I am always glad to an swer questions under the province of physiology, hygiene or health, but that I have rather less than the ordin ary school boy's knowledge of physics, thoogh I think physics almost as im portant as physiology, and the educa tors think It is more important, for they generally employ experts to teach physics, while any teacher who has a bit of spare time is considered compe tent to teach physiology or hygiene. That's tho reason why so much stuff and nonsense Is taught under the head of physiology and hygiene and that Is the way tho great nostrum and quackery Interests of our grand free country . would have it. .

Very Good Eddy Infalmination never appears in a part which mortal thought does not reach. That is why opiates relievo It. They quiet the thought by Inducing stupefication by resorting to error instead of truth. Opiates do not re move tho pain ,In any proper sense of the word. They only render mortal mind temporarily less painful. These are not my words, but the words of Mrs. Eddy. (P. G. R.) Answer Sounds all right to me. I can't conceive of any "part' which mortal thought does not reach. Poems That Live Description of Spring, sooto season, that bud Tho and bloom forth brings.
