.The highest me on fo Sir James Crichton Br of Lon gives the best reasoi On o Ir ai j In an article published in the Youth's Companion of September 23rd, 1909, Dr. Browne, the great medical authority on foods, says, about brain and muscle building? *'There is one kind of food that seems to me of marked * value as a food to the brain and to the whole body throughout childhood and adolescence (youth), and that is oatmeal. "Oats are the most nutritious of all the cereals, being richer in fats, organic phosphorus and lecithins/' * He says oatmeal is gaining ground with the well-to-do of Great Britain. He speaks of it as the mainstay of the Scottish laborer's diet and says it proCutting Red Tape.Many amusing stories nre told of iways in which postoffice officials, .inclined to keep too rigorously to the letter of their regulations, have beeu thwarted. On one occasion n man * asked for 240 penny stamps anil tendered payment ill copper. The official declined to receive it. whereupon the man began buying and paying for one stamp at a time. Before he had got a j dozen in that way the postoffice official ! ^ had surrendered. It must have been j s the same man or a near relative who j one Sunday went into a postoffice that j was open for telegraph business only. | He handed in a sixpenny telegram and j asked to be supplied with two stamps besides. No, he could not have stamps; telegraph business only was transact ed. Innocently he asked if he might have his telegram back for a moment j to add something. He added four | words to it anil tendered the additional twopence. The form was returned to him with the stamps to affix. Crossing out the four additional words, he affiled the sixpenny stamp, pushed the ^ telegram under the counter rail and walked out with his two stamps.?London Tatler. Two cf a Kind, Mrs. Boggs?

His experiments prove that! good oatmeal such as Quaker Oats not only furnishes the best i food for the hvman being, but eating it strengthens and enlarges the thyroid gland?this gland is intimately connected with the nourishing processes of the body. In conclusion he says? "It seems probable therefore that the bulk and brawniness of the Northerners (meaning the Scotc^h) has been in. some measure due to the stimulation of the thyroid gland by oatmeal porridge in childhood." The Scotch eat Quaker Oats because it is the best of all oatmeals. He Knew Them. "The pastor of a Tallapoosa church." said a sonthern soua'tor.

On a dark night no warship would be safe from torpedo attack but for the searchlight. The full moon lights up a torpedo bont so that it can be flred at when nearly a mile away. To produce the same illumination with the most powerful artificial light an electric arc of 1G0.000 candle power placed three-quarters of a mile high would be needed if the aid of mirrors were not available. But with this light and an ingenious arrangement of mirrors it is possible to surpass ' the moon. Searchlights are now made 1 which throw light a distance of sixty' three miles, but objects cau be seen only a few miles from the source of the light. The effect on the enemy is most demoralizing. When the bright i beam' is suddenly thrown 011 the eye the pupil contracts violently: when the beam io removed the eye can see nothL ing. If this be repeated a few times it takes all the nerve out of a man. so that only the best trained and most courageous can continue the attack.? London Answers. I . A DisaDDointina Witness. Deacon Stephen Potter, one of the pioneers of Utica, N. Y., was a man of great eccentricity, but high moral r character. "The deacon will speak the truth and sliame the devil," was often said of him. On one occasion a friend was engaged in a lawsuit in regard to some land a few miles from Utica. He held the land at a high price. During the trial he called Deacon Potter as a witness to prove how valuable the land was.. The deacon was sworn and asked if he knew the land. "Yes," he replied, "I know every foot r of It" ' "What do you think it worth, Mr. Potter?" was the next question. The old man paused a moment and then said slowly, "If 1 had as many 5 dollars?as my yoke of oxen?could draw?on a sled?on glaze ice?I vow? I would not give?a dollar an acre for it!"?Youth's Companion. Flag Proportions. i In the United States Hag the width of a stripe is invariably half the length in inches of the flag's longest measurement For example, in a flag ten feet i long the stripes should be Ave inches wide. Accordingly the flag would have ' a'width of five feet five inches, or thirteen times tiro inches. The field should be of nary blue* bunting measuring seven stripes deep aDd extending two-fifths across the length of the flag. There should be fortv-six stars on the field, arranged in six rows, beginning with eight, the two middle rows having eight and the last row eight and the other rows seveD. The size of the star at its widest measurement should be such that one-half of its own width will separate it from the next star. Flags may be made Id all sizes, but the above proportions should be preserved.?Philadelphia Press.

"In my boyhood I once captured a nest of three young thrushes. 1 put them In a gilt cage by an open window, and their mother Game and fed them regularly with worms and grasshoppers." The speaker, a nature stadent, sighed. "The mother," he resumed, "must bare expected her little ones to be soon liberated. She fed them, as I said, regularly for three days on flesh food. Then one evening at snuset she appeared with a sprig of green in her mouth. She thrust the green in through the gilt bars. Tbea. singing a. sweet, sad song, she flew away. And she never enure back. Her offspring the next morning lay dead, side by side, en the bottom of the cage. The sprig she had brought them, which was nearly consumed, was a sprig of the deadly larkspur. 'Freedona or death! Death or freedom!* That is what must hate been the burden of her farewell song." The narrator paused, and from his listeners a low murmur arose, a murmur perhaps of sympathy, perhaps of angry disbelief. A.i American Grammar. Robert it., Hirt, ^rho at the time represented our government in Paris as a secretary of legation, went to Egypt in regard to a matter involving the life of a Greek American subject. IIo limded in Alexandria and went to the Hotel Europe and found the rooming clerk busy assigning rooms to the uewly arrived passengers, a regular polyglot in languages. He heard him speak Arabic, Greek. French, Italian and German. So wheD it came Mr. Hitt's turn to register he jocosely said. "Do you speak AmericanV" The clerk promptly replied: "A leetle. Dor vas one American here lately who gave \ me an American grammar." Mr. Hitt asked to have a look at the book. The clerk promptly told one of the garcons to get the book out of bis room, and while the book was being brought the clerk said. "De grammar is phonetic." When the book was brought, lo and behold, it was a copy of Tetroleum V. Nasby's letters. D. It. Locke while In Egypt had presented a copy to the clerk, telling him it was au American grammar. Mended His Manners. A certain Euglisb officer is noted for his ready wit and quickness in repartee. Id the very early days of his career be was ordered to Bombay and was attached to the staff of the theu commander in chief as A. D. (J. Shortly after his arrival, at a function at the government house, a new miiitary secretary who, in the conscious pride of his ucw position, had a hearty contempt for subalterns of all degrees, with a glassy stare through his eyeglass, offered him two fiugers to shake. The A. D. C.. quite unabashed, looked at him for a moment or two and then said genially: "Hang it all, major, the governor gives me three!" The whole room was convulsed, and the military secretary, now a colonel, profited by the hint and mended bis manners, but he never forgave the A. D. C.~London Tit-Bits. D Inpnton', Adu!i?? There is a story tokl of Bjorastjeme Bjornson that, arriving it .a lata hour .at the town of Bergeu. which was en fete to receive him, he vouchsafed to the expectant people do finer words j of wisdom thau a general recommendation to go to bed. In vain they appealed to him for ! "song or sentiment." The great Bis- | marck, said he. gave the same advice j under conditions all similar, and what was good enough for Berlin must suffice for Bergen. Three years later, on visiting the town for the second time, the master novelist found a deserted city. Not a light burned in the dismal railway station, no banners waved, no addresses were read by portly burgomasters. In vain Bjornson asked for a cab. "They have aii gone to bed." was the reply. And so Bergen remembered. Stationery Cheap? A big lot of paper and envelopes in 5 cent packages, a bargain at The Bazaar. DRAV rchased the largest an ? ago, before the ad Dn and for every purpose.
