An attempt believed to have been inspired by German spies was made at Portland, Ind., to wreck the municipal water works plant in which the municipal electric light and poer plant is also operated.

To do this you turn the trousers inside out and spread each leg on the ironing board, not as you lay them to press the creases, but exactly the other way, crosswise, from seam to seam, and the nyou lay on the damp cloth and press in the usual fashion with the hot iron. By this pressing you shrink the

wool fibers of the doth together again, where they have been punched out at the knees; you take out the bagginess, and then you turn the trousers right side out again and press for the creases.” —Exchange. To speak on marriage is no easy task. One man. a university professor, to whom a copy of Physical Culturne's questionaire on marriage was grounds that the results of such a study of the opinions of the general public would he valueless and that we should get only the opinion of experis. But the professor failed to state who the experts on marriage were, in all things else we go to the man who has the most experience for our wisdom, but the more times a man has been married the less the rest of us value his opinion—and the more a man studies marriage the less he values his own opinion.—From ‘'What People Believe About Marriage,” by Gordon Beeves, in November Physical Culture The four per cent convertible bonds of 1932-47, which is the technical name for the bonds issued upon conversions, will be delivered directly at the time of the surrender of the bonds or interim certificates, or mailed or expressed to the owners at the addresses given on the requests for conversion.

Dr. Frank Crane, ihe famous editorial writer, has written ail aritcle calfed “If I were Twenty-One” for the December American Magazine in which be says: “it is quite important to find the best thing to do. It is much more important to find something to do. If I were a young artist, I would paint soap advertisements, if that were all opportunity offered, until I got ahead enough to indulge in the painting .*f madonnas and landscapes, if I were a young musician, I would rather play in a street band than not at all. If I were a young writer, I would do hack work, if necessary, until 1 became able to write the Great American Novel. 1 would go to work. Nothing in all this world I have found is so good -is work.” o Died of Premature Did Age! How many times wc hoar of comparatively young persons passing away when they should have lived to be 70 or 80 years of age. This fatal work is usually attributed to the kidneys, as, when the kidneys degenerate, it causes auw-intoxieution. The more injurious the jpoisons passing thru the kidneys the quicker will those noble organs be degenerated, and the sooner they decay. It is thus the wisest policy, to prevent premature old age and promote long life, to lighten the work of the kidneys. This ran De done by drinking plenty of pure water nil day long, and occasionally taking a little Anuric (double strength) before meals. This can be obtained at almost any drug store. You will find Anuric more potent than lithia for it dissolves uric acid almost as water does sugar.

A PROMINENT MAN SPEAKS. Fort Wayne, Ind. —“At one time

through exiKisure 1 caught a severe cold which settled on my lungs. I coughed continually. Had very little rest day or night, just about the time I would get to sleep I would have a severe fit of coughing. I soon lost weight and grew weak. I

thought when it became warmer this would all leave me but it did not. About four mouths had passed without my getting any bettor, although 1 doctored and took medicine. Everyone thought I was going into consumption and I firmly believed so inyself. 1 was in very bad shape when 1 learned of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. 1 had only taken it a few days when I began to get relief and felt assured that 1 had at, last found the right, medicine. Three bottles of the ' Discovery’ completely cured me. I gained in weight and was once more hale and hearty. —Geoboe F. Aichele, 68 Portage Avc.
