BrucejsPure Food Store PHONE 66 Carlsbad Now Karlovy Vary Scene In Karlovy Vary. ?w-.-m1 yllKN EUUQFK'S best ad Ml J vertlsed health resort yj yl awoke one morning to find fts pusi office changed from Carlsbad, Austria. to Karlovy Vary, Czechoslovakia. the mental shock to the German Inhabitants must have been somewhat like the occasional ex plosions of its bidden wells, trom which Its famous mineral waters come, says a bulletin of tU?? National Geo graphic society. Though it Is located In Hohajula, the Englishman had Introduced afternoon tea, and the American had made ten ids popular, but the 17.000 permanent residents, who remained In Carlsbad after the annual Influx <?f some 70,000 visitors, were essentially German, and Karlovy Vary remains so, according to the press reports. Hence it Is easy to understand how this island of Germans, under Czech rule, approached a political boiling point. Dispatches told of open dis play of Emperor Fran'/. Joseph's por trait, and of the refusal of the native sons, who live by means of the saline wutoi'x and salt derivatives, to call Carl*bnd by any other name. Discovered by Charles IV, Traditions had It, and the inhabit ants preferred to believe, that Km peror Charles IV. discovered tin* heal ing power of the waters that gush through the vents of the inammoth-ttd that nature clapped dpwn over a seething caldron far beneath the sur face. Atop this vast subterranean lake of molten mineral and hissing steam a river, the Tepel, flows lazily down a narrow valley whose slopes are soft 1 ened by beautiful trees and traversed by winding trails and paths. Among these, some physicians intimate, the hcnlth hunters gained the rosy cheeks" and buoyant spirits for which thTT springs receive overmuch credit. It Is just before the Tepel enters the Eger that the underground streams pierce the- crust at numerous points, and furnish the waters used for bath ing and drinking by those who could afford to go there; and either bottled or boiled down by the millions of gal lons, for its salt and soda content, and shipped to all quarters of the globe. During tho season at pre-war Carls had the guest at any of the numerous hotels would he awakened at 0 o'clock, or even earlier, and would arise to Join the procession toward the springs. At a'popular one, such as the Sprudel, from which flow 440 gallons of water a minute, at a temperature of 1G3 degrees, Fahr., he might have to wait lft or 20 minutes until a whltecapped maid served him. For his protection, large glass covers were erected over many of the springs, and from an air plane Carlsbad might resemble a field of conservatories. But to linger too long among the springs of Carlsbad is to miss Its hla-. tory. Ifere there Is a griin sort -of symbolism. For it was here, Just 100 years ago last August, that Met'ernlch plotted to clamp down the lid upon free speech, free press, and un tram meled teaching in the German states. Origin of the "Carlsbad Decrees." There were signs that liberal agita tion among Germans was reaching the boiling point. Autocracy was threatened. Prince Metternleh of Aus tria arrange* I to have sympathetic rep resentation from Austria. Prussia, and ?-even other states of the (Icrman con federation at Carlsbad, atid then call ed t hem together in a hurry, under pretext of need for summary action. Out of the conference came the fa mous ('arlshad Decrees," and there can be little doubt huf that the tinder for the world explosion in 1014 was lighted nt I'urlsbail.

Capitalizing the mineral waters was the principal Industry, but not the only one, of Carlsbad. In the vicinity were porcelain works, and the shopper of the days when the wealth and fash Ion of three continents gathered there might purchase Bohemian glass and beautiful trinkets of many kinds, rep resenting the Czech handicraft. MOURN OVER LOST CHANCES Few Who Do Not Claim to Have Had Great Opportunities, and Lost Them. In an article In People's Magazine Hugh S. Ftillerton tells of millions of dollars' worth of ideas running to waste. "I'd rather ha.ve (In* Idea I failed to follow up than the ones I made 'ljy money out of." That was said. to me hy a mniFMvho. ranks among the wealthiest in t*>e country and who is credited. amor:g his associates, with almost supernat ural wisdom in evolving Ideas and see' ing their possibilities. "Every man had one or more big Chances to get to the top," he contin ued. "If you don't believe that, just get into any crowd of ihen,. fell some yarn of an opportunity that you had, and overlooked, and then- listen to them. Chances are every one of thorn will have a better story of lost oppor tunity than you told, and nine out of *.en of them will tell a wonderful story of how some other man 'stole' their great Ideas and got rich or famous from them. Examine into these stories nod you will find, in the majority of cases, that the man who claims to have originated the idea did not do It nt all, that he did not see the possibili ties of it, or that, even if he did, he was not smart enough or lacked th? Initiative to follow It up. There are more chances for men to get rich now than there ever were bo fore in the history of the world, and more big chances being overlooked. Whether It is because men lack faith lu themselves or because they prefer a humming bird In the hand to an eagle in the air, I don't know. They seem to think a man must be a super genius or a great Inventor." I reminded him that lie had a re*> utatlon as an originator, as an Invent or and genius, in addition to being -ft successful organizer. "Bunk," he asserted. "I do not claim to have originated anything. My success has been due to seeing the pos sibilities of nn Idea and working out the details so as to apply the Idea to practical business. Probably a thou sand men thought of the same things I did before I was born, and did not de velop them. Some of my most success ful ideas probably were talked over and dreamed over by hundreds who failed to work them out practically.*' N Insect Idiot.

Examine his countenance. lie looks the perfe"t fool: At the top of the head two bulging eyes as expressive as the eye of a dV*ad carp; and below this Is a nose likp a wooden plowshare. This Is all. There Is no . forehead, no brain and no room for one. The grasshop per, we find, Is an Insect Idiot. The best he ever did was to keep out from under the foot of his hitters. ? Minne apolis Journal.
