Senator Norris; of Nebraska, is
reported to be working on a plan en

than are chosen under the present

Competent veniremen, ho observes,
are rejected if they admit they have
read about the case in the newspapers.
Since in these <j**rs of widely circulat
ed, widely read newspapers anyone
with even moderate worldly knowledge
will have read about an important
case, Senator Norris cannot see how
an adequate jury can be chosen if all
such veniremen a re rejected.
This system of selection probably
has a great deal to do with the aston

Helping Retailers.
Congress has been asked to author
ize a survey of retail merchandising
under the direction of t^e Department
of Commerce. There is need for such
a survey since, for the most part,
whatever information is now available
to help retailers solva their problems
has been gathered by private agencies
with limited resources.
Estimates of the total volume of the
retail business run from $35,000,000,-

about half the national income.
Among small retailers the rate of
business mortality is far greater than
it should be. ao anything that will help
them is worthy of consideration.
One thing such a survey should
most certainly include is reliable and

The galloyak has inherited the long

been resi>onsible for the reduction of

Prevention of Colds

sane precautions against disease
At this '.line of ih> year, taking
cold is the foremost thiiYg to be
dreaded, even if the attack be a
mild one.
First of all, don't overload the
stomach. To eat more than the
d’gestion can dispo.->e oi, is the
surest way of inducing feebleness
of the body: and disease does pot
appear, as a rule, unless one’s sys
tem -is in some wav „w-cakened"in
resisting power. The “run-down”
constitution is the waiting host for
infection.
Then drink plenty ~ df pure
water.^At least two glasses should
be taken on rising each morfting,
hot QY cool, as preterred. Eight
glasses of water daily keeps the
ashes of the body-fite " moving to
ward elimination. It is a gcod
practice to take a good* drink of
cool water just before starting on
a trip in the wintry air,—it renders
the throat and mouth fit for the
dash of much colder air outside.
Keep the surface of the body,
and especially the feet—warm. To
Weep the h*wd cool, the feet warm,
and the bowels open, is advice as
old as the hills, but it is as sound
today as it ever was And. lastly,
don’t worry. A contented, cap
able nervous system is one of the
best safeguards -against disease
that I know of. I would mention
clothing, more specifically, but you
wouldn’t obey-—*o there!

Famou* Painting
The painting of “The Last Supper”
by Leonardo da Vinci -is recognized
as one of tthe world's masterpiece*. It
was originally painted by order of the
duke of Milan on the walls of the
Dominican convent of the Madonna
del Gruzie. The picture is now in a
state of decay, but several very fine
copies have been made. One of them,
at'the Uoyal academy in London, 1*
considered worthily representative of
the original. The “Mona Lisa” of
the same painter, now in the Louvre,
is also rated among the greatest paint
ings.
