HOW HEAVY ARE YOU? After the Age of Forty Overweight Affects the Heart. Life insurance statistics show that overweight policyholders very rarely die of old age. For that matter no one ever dies of old age. But overweight persons are apt to stiecumb to some illness earlier in life than persons of normal weight. A man five feet tall should weigh 115 pounds. A man five feet two inches should weigh 127 pounds. A man five feet four inches should weigh 138 pounds. A man five feet six inches should weigh 144 pounds. A man five feet eight inches should weigh 155 pounds. A man five feet ten inches should weigh 170 pounds. A man six feet tall should weigh 177 pounds. Between the ages qf fifteen and thirty underweight is more important than in middle life. It is often the indication of incipient tuberculosis or some other chronic disease. Os course, it may be a family trait and mean nothing. But when only one member of a family shows underweight the case is one for the family doctor’s observation. Diabetes, tapeworm, chronic appendicitis, anaemia, tuberculosis and other obscure conditions may be expressed almost exclusively by underweight in early adult life. Underweight in individuals up to the age of forty shortens the expectancy of life —that is, insurance companies have found by experience that these individuals do not live as long on the average as do persons of normal weight. But after forty the factor of underweight seems to be of little importance. From forty up overweight begins to assume the more prominent place. Why is overweight bad?

A moderate amount of excess baggage doesn’t seem to be bad for younger men; in fact, it seems to be a favorable factor. But in men past forty excess weight simply adds to the work of the heart. It stands to reason that if your heart was made to do the work of a forty horsepower machine in the first place you can’t load on enough for a sixty horsepower machine without causing a breakdown sooner or later. Every time a fat man walks upstairs or lifts himself out <sf a chair or tears himself away from the dinner table his heart is doing overwork. Both overweight and underweight individuals may accomplish much through diet. But the first thing necessary is to find out whether any organic disease is the underlying cause of the abnormal weight. —William Brady, M. D., in Chicago News. Names That Don't Name. Many chemical names convey no exact idea of the things they stand for. Oil of vitriol is no oil. Neither are oils of turpentine and kerosene. Copperas is an iron compound and contains no copper. Salts of lemon is the extremely poisonous oxalic acid. Carbolic acid is not an acid, but an alcohol. Cobalt contains none of that metal, but arsenic. Soda water has no trace of soda, and sugar of lead has no sugar. Cream of tartar has nothing of cream nor milk of lime any milk. German silver has no silver and black lead no lead. East Indian Village Deities. There is a cruel custom prevailing in many parts of the Telugu country, in India, »in connection with the worship of the village deities. At the end of a sacrifice a small cart with four, five or nine pointed stakes standing upright at the corners and sides is brought to the image. Pigs, lambs and fowls are then impaled alive upon these stakes. The cart is dragged in a procession to the boundary of the village. The animals die in agony on the way and are taken off the stakes when the cart reaches its destination. Second Thought. Lawyer—Madam, I’m sorry to say that I don’t see the ghost of a chance for vou to break your uncle’s will. Client —Well, to be frank with yon, I don’t see the ghost of a chance to pay you for what you’ve already done if the will isn’t broken.” Lawyer—H’m! On second thought, madam, I think the will can be broken.—Boston Transcript. Not Tactful. Some one asked Archbishop Langley of England once what tact was. “Well,” replied the archbishop, “it is difficult to say what it is. Here, however, is an instance of what it is not: Only this morning a clergyman in my diocese wrote to me, In •consideration of your grace’s many Infirmities! and failing powers.’ That was not tactful!” Attend the ball game Sunday Pierceston vs Syracuse.

THE IB EFFECTS LOCAL INDUSTRY Foundry Compelled To Lay Off Fifteen Men For The Pre ent The European war has effected, to some extent, a local industry. The Gildsrman Manufacturing & Foundry Company. Fitteen men have been laid off on account of the difficulty in securing transportation for foreign shipments. The foundry had a large contract with the Rumely Company of LaPnrte but this latter firm was compelled to call a halt until arrangements could be made to secure shipment to the foreign trade for which the contracted castings were intended. Theßumely people have men in New York looking into the matter and it is probable that atrangements will be made in the near future. The local foundry are slill running a force of about 35 men. They have a number of orders to fill that will keep them busy for some time and it is hoped that some settlement in regard to foreign trade will be reached by that time.
