Coaling the sun is un expression used by physicists to indicate the necessity of renewing the stock of motive power, exactly analogous to coaling a vessel for an ocean journey. Many maintain , that this is done by the incessant showers of meteorites which rain In upon it from celestial space. Thus it is that the sun's energy is continually kept up and Its fires are fed. Atom after atom In the continuous collisions of matter Is changed into vapor and adds Its quota of energy to the great central storehouse in fact, "coals the sun." Exchange. DIET AND HEALTH HINTS By DB. T. J. ALLEN Food Specialist OVERFEEDING CAUSES COLDS. Th, common cold Is a privilege enjoyed almost wholly by civilized man," says the Medical Timet. Superheated rooms, keeping out fresh air, especially from the bedroom. Improper clothing and improper feeding, with the germ as the transmitter from one favorable soil to another, are the causes given for the popular aliment of civilization. Both overeating and eating the wrong kinds of food are enormous factors In catarrh production. "He who overfeeds," says the editor quoted, "la likely to catch cold, and hia cold la likely to become chronic." This agrees with the statement In a recent Hint that a cold Is caught at the dining table, making due allowance for the minor factors. .To maintain a healthy action of the skin Is a prime condition In the avoidance of colds, and the best way to do this is to take a warm bath once a week and a cold "towel bath," rubbing the skin thoroughly, every morning, carefully avoiding undue chilling, especially In beginning the practice.

Memorial Day.

The protest made by the local camp of Sons of Veterans against desecration of Memorial day by games and other public amusements appears to be well taken. Memorial Day is not established as a public holiday for the purpose of creating an additional day of rest and recreation for workers. Memorial Day is different from any other holiday on the calendar. It is dedicated for the sole purpose of paying tribute to the honored soldier dead who fought in the great Civil War to preserve the Union. The nation only asks its citizens to devote one day each year for paying tribute to these gallant men, and to see this one day given over to baseball games, automobile races and other sporting events makes one wonder if American patriotism is only skin-deep. On Memorial day this year occurs one of the greatest sporting events on the 1912 sporting calander the 500-mile automobile race at Indianapolis, and one hundred thousand Indiana citizens will pay their tribute to the dead defenders of the state and nation by witnessing this spectacle. If some unfortunate contestant Is crushed to death it will only make the race more thrilling for the vast throng.

Time For Action.

A year ago this time the bulk of the United States army stationed in this country was mobilized along the Mexican border to be thrown across the Rio Grande if Americans in Mexico were killed or their property dstroyed. The situation then was not one-tenth as critical as it is today, hut the American troops have been returned to their various posts. The situation today is so grave that English, French, German and Japanese war vessels have been sent post haste to Mexican waters to protect their countrymen, these governments deciding that it would be foolhardy to wait longer for the United States to provide protection for foreigners in Mexico, which right Uncle Sam claims under the Monroe Doctrine. The demands of American consuls and citizens in Mexico for drastic action to safeguard them have fallen on deaf ears in Washington. All but the consuls have been told to get out of the country or to protect themselves if they remain. If the majority of these Americans could get out of the war stricken, anarchy-ridden republic they would probably do so without a moment's hesitation. In Mexico City the largest American colony has secured arms and ammunition so the colonists can defend themselves should the capital be attacked. In the rural districts of Mexico many American plantation and mine owners and their employes have been shot down by brigands and revolutionists. Others have fled to the west coast where the government has reluctantly dispatched an army transport to pick them up and bring them to California ports. Notwithstanding this state of affairs the administration supinely refuses to bring the situation to a crisis. The United States under the Roosevelt administration Intervened in Cuba where conditions were not nearly so grave as the Mexican situation, and by "this action brought peace and prosperity to the island by the creation of a stable government.

KINGDOM Of BAVARIA PAYS HOMAGE TO ITS "MAD KING" ON HIS 65TH BIRTHDAY

(National News Association) MUNICH, APRIL 29. King Otto of Bavaria entered upon his sixty-fifth year Saturday, and Munich, with other Bavarian towns, in honor of the occatsion displayed flags and hunting, sang De Teums, had a review of troops and perfunctorily drank to the health j of the king who remains shut up in the castle of Fuerstenreid, hopelessly Insane and carefluly guarded. All these celebrations are merely a matter of form and in accordance with monarchial traditions. The Bavarians care but little for their king, who many have never seen. He was insane when he succeeded to the throne of Bavaria after the death of his brother Ludwig II., who had been deposed on account of his madness and drowned himself in Starnberg Lake two days later, June 10, 1886. Even then Otto was confined at Castle Fuerstenreid, while Prince Luitpold, appointed regent for the mad Ludwig, continued as regent for the even madder Otto. Bavaria had not cause to complain for, under the wise and conservative rule of the faithful regent the country prospered beyond all expectations. While the late King Ludwig had spent many millions building, castles and had saddled a tremendous debt upon his country, Luitpold enforced the strictest economy in all government expenditures and not only settled the debts of the former king but accumulated a large surplus. Otto Wilhelm Leopold Adelbert Walder, the present nominal ruler of Bavaria, was born in Munich on April 27, 1848. His father was Maximilian II., and his mother a Princess Marie of Prussia. It was from his father's Bide of the house that Otto inherited his insanity, a taint of which disease was laten in quite a number of scions of the ancient House of Wittelsbach. When Ludwig II., succeeded his father Maximillian II. upon the throne of Bavaria, the disease which finally incapacitated him from reigning and made the appointment of a regent necessary, manifested itself merely in eccentricity. But, when Ludwig died on June 10, 1886, without leaving an heir to the throne, his younger brother Otto, who succeeded to the throne under the Bavarian constitution, was already insane. This fact precluded his accession and, while he was nominally recognized as the lawful king and his head was stamped upon. the coin of the realm, Prince Luitpold continued as regent, to the complete satisfaction of the Bavarian people.

Otto's insanity first manifested itself during the Franco-Prussian war, when the Prince, then only twentytwo years of age, held a commission in the German army. His actions

were so peculiar and unreasonable that it was considered best to call the young Prince to staff headquarters, decorate him for his services and Send him back home under escort. In the hope that his condition would improve, he was sent to the castle at Fuerstenreid, where he was kept under strict surveillance and careful observation. But the poor madman's condition did not improve. His disease progressed and developed through its various stages and when Otto succeeded to the throne he was so far advanced in his disease that the learned specialists pronounced it as incurable. Since he was first taken to castle Fuersteinreid, Otto has never left the enclosures of the beautiful estate except for occasional drives during the first few years of his confinement. As the disease progressed and the paroxysms of violence to which the klngwas subject became more frequent and less controllable, these drives had to be abandoned, as it was considered undesirable to allow the people to witness such violent outbreaks. Surrounded by faithful attendants and treated with all the deference due to his exalted rank, watched by doctors and humored in every possible way, the insane monarch spends his days at the secluded castle. From year to year his mental condition grew worse, while his physical condition, thanks to the excellent care of his physicians and attendants, steadily improved. Mentally a complete imbecile, unable to recognize even his nearest relations, he has grown, physically, to a fine speclman of manhood. He is a giant in figure, possessed of tremendous strength and, in spite of his abnormal way of living, perfectly healthy. His condition varies from periods of utter indifference or spells of great dejection to paroxysms of uncontrollable fury, extremely trying to his attendants, as they are not permitted even for a moment to forget that under no condition force may be used against the king. The king has killed several of his attendants in his fits of fury, but it is believed that in the last stage of the disease which Otto seems now to have reached, these attacks will gradually cease.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.

THE ABJECT BRIDEGROOM. The bridegroom was attired in the conventional black. News Item. Always and everywhere nowadays it is the same old story black, con ventional black. Entire paragraphs in the society columns ore lit up with descriptions of the wedding decorations, the gowns of bride and bridesmaids, even the bouquets carried by the maids of honor. The groom's toilet gets one line. The groom's hair is combed just as he combs it every day. The collar he wears will be of the same style he Is accustomed to wear. His trousers will be a little more sharply creased, and there will be a little more expanse of shirt bosom. No color, mind you, nothing but white and black. lie is permitted to wear "the conventional black," a meek disposition and a doubtful smile. And thus attired, he is led like a sheep to the slaughter; and as a Iamb before his shearers he is dumb. On the wedding day nobody pays auy particular attention to him. He is ft sort of necessary evil. The show could not well proceed without him. He is not to say a supernumerary, but the spot Jlght does not hover over his station on the stage. He is on the program, but not featured. He is in the cast, but receives no applause. Ah. my brethrenIt is a far cry, this studied neglect of the groom, from the days of the stone age, when the man wooed and won his wife with a knobby club and dragged her home by the hair. It is si far cry, indeed, from the day when the wedding ring placed on the finger of the bride meant something. You know the wedding ring Is a survival of the time when the bride was literally and actually owned when the ring, instead of being put on the bride's finger, was put about her neck or about her wrist, for the convenience of her owner and lord. Ah me, my brethren Those halcyon days af absolute lordship are over. ' The shoe is on the other foot! And it is the fault of the benedict. He permits himself, on the very verge of his matrimonial venture, to be suppressed, subjected, snubbed, ignored. Why should he wonder at the sequel when he gets what is coming?

Street Stories Dr. Stanley M. Coulter, dean of the faculty of Purdue university, who spoke here Friday, tells a story on Former Vice President Fairbanks, the former's fellow-speaker in Richmond Arbor Day. Dr. Coulter said that he has but one advantage over Mr. Fairbanks and that is thU he can begin and end a speech in ten minutes. Dr. Coulter says that this is one thing which Mr. Fairbanks can seldom do. "I was at a banquet recently at Indianapolis." began Prof. Coulter, "and other speakers were Mr. Fairbanks and Governor Marshall. We were all limited to ten minutes for our talks. Mr. Fairbanks, the first speaker, a roan and opened his remarks with the statement that he must be brief, as others were to follow him. He spoke just twenty minutes on how he was to be brief and how he was to have but ten minutes for his remarks. Suffice to say he had utilized forty-two minutes before he had completed his talk. Governor Marshall, who was obliged to "go Mr. Fairbanks one better," spoke forty-five minutes. However, both are interesting talkers and the talk of each was very good, instructive and interesting."
