STRENGTH NOT VITALITY
At the Olympic games last year
Ralph Rose, a gigantic youth who
lived iu San Francisco, proved him
self the amateur champion of the
world in several tests of great
strength. He put the shot farther
than any rival. His bulk and mus
cular development excited much ad
miration and uo little wonder.
A few days ago Ralph Rose was
attacked by typhoid fever. That
disease kills about 7 per cent of
those whom it seizes. Among the
old the proportion of fatal cases is
larger. Among the young it is less
than one in every fourteen provided
that good nursing and good treat
ment, such as Rose was given, can
be had. Ralph Pose died. He was
one of the relatively small minor
ity unable to withstand the strain
of this ordeal which many thous
ands of weak women and men of no
especial physical power recover
from without difficulty.
The case is not extraordinary.
Very often the test of disease
proves that muscular strength is a
very different thiug from tenacity
of life. One family cf boys may be
a fine group of athletes and yet all
may die in ear!y manhood. Another
family may be able to boast no
noteworthy suength or physical
prowess and yet every member of i
may live to be eighty or more.
Strength is an excellent thing
but it is not necessarily synonymous
with good health or length of days, j
It is much betcer to be well than to ;
be very strong. Vitality is more val
uable to the average man or wo- I
man than great muscular develop- '
ment, and it is better worth caring I
for as thoroughly and intelligently
as possible—C'^veland Leader.

The British hoard of trade shows

Still, some of the country's bank

"What can be more silly than a

woman's hat?
When a woman feels like com

In the past, she should remember
that it is a sign she is getting old.

1 race and race suicide, w:ib by estab
lishing centres of "higher culture"
where men physically anc" mentally
fit, could have numerous wives, is
about to put its theory Into practice.
That is they expect to if there are
no legal obstacles.
According to members of the So
ciety, each flue physical and mental
male specimn is to have one wife
at a time "until the purpose of mar
riage has been accomplished." After
that he may take another wife.
Each woman is to be physically
perfect and a beauty. Two years Is
considered to be the limit of mar
ried life with one woman on the Eu
genic farm, and it may be dissolv
ed after one year. In this way the
Society believes that in time a race
known for its "beauty and brains"
may bo produced.
The Society is reticent as to
whether it will be necessary to go
outside of the Society to get the
first specimens of either sex who ca
meet the requirements, with whom
the farm is to be started. The So
ciety professes to be perfectly ser
ious in . the matter.
THEY ALL DEMAND IT
Alaska, Like Every Section in the
People with kidney ills want to
be cured. When one suffers the
tortures of an aching back, relief
is eagerly sought for. There are
many remedies today that relieve,
but not permanently. Doan'a Kid
ney Pills have brought lasting
results to thousands. Here is proof
rot merit from this vicinity:
F. A. Sutton, tent and awning
dealer. Room 6, Capitol Hotel Bldg.,
Salem, Oregon, says: "I had Kid
ney trouble and rheumatism for ten
years and sometimes I was laid up,
Doctors did not help me. Sharp pains
extended through my back and were
most severe in my kidueys and loins.
Often when working, I had to give
up. I lost weight and was in very
poor health. I had headaches, rest
ed but little at night and did not
know what to do.- On a friend's ad
vice I tried Doan's Kidney Pills
and to my surprise, they brought a
great improvement in la few days. I
continued to get better steadily. I
got more sleep, my appetite improv
ed and the pains gradually, but
surely left me. After I had used
three boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills,
I was In better health than I had
been for ten years and not a sign
of kidney complaint remained. The
cure had been permanent. I gladly
confirm the endorsement I gave
Doan's Kidney Pills several years
ago."
