* Not only does ladgliter keep the
blood flowing rapidly hut It also keeps
the spirit light, buoyant and carefree.
This means that you are happy and

eyes aud face. Good cheer makes
your eyes sparkle and your face ra-

Only Foolish Depend on Luck.
The person who depends upon luck
may find advancement for a time, hut
any success which Is fouuded upon
luck or privilege Is bound to be un-
stable. Take any great man or wom-
an who lias reached the top and you
will find that they have fought every
step of the way. It Is never an easy
thing to (fllinh a high hill, hut there
Is always a good view at the top.

Making Good.
There are no tullsmans against fail-
ure; there are no luck stones that
assure success. After all, when we
get close to those whom we term fa-
mous or successful or talented we And
them very simple folk, much like our
Helves, aud we are apt to marvel ut
their achievements, and, tindiiig them
so much like ourselves, we put their
success down to some hidden forces
that we.do not understand or some
unsual opportunities which have been
given them.

$700,000 A MONTH
ON EDUCATION, A. E. F.
General rersiiing has signed an or-
der establishing an American army uni-
versity In France to accommodate
from 15,000 to 20,000 soldier students,
according to a recent cable message
received by the Y. M. 0. A. War Work
Council. Col. Ira L. Reeves has been
assigned to the post of military
commander of the school, opened at
Beaune. General Pershing states to
his order that this university Is to pro-
vide three months' courses for soldiers
who cannot attend European univer-
sities. Courses In engineering, liberal
a id fine arts, science, music and the
like will be offered.
It Is expected that one of the four
agricultural exhibits which have been
prepared by the department of agricul-
ture In co-operation with the Y. M C.
j A. will be a permanent feature of
I Beaune. These exhibits, all new ma-
1 tcrlul prepared at a cost of $00,000,
■ are nearly ready for shipment over-
' sous. Four agriculture department ex-
perts from Washington will accompany
I the exhibits to France.
Thet cost of the entire educational
program for the soldiers of the A.
E. F. has now reached $700,000 a
month, the work having been made
possible by the generous oversubscrip-
tion of the United War Work Cam-
paign fund In November. Athletic, re-
ligious and entertainment activities
among overseas soldiers aro also be-
ing carried on at full strength, these
being considered of even greater Im-
portance than during war times, now
that the men are not fighting and have
longer periods of leisure.

Phrenology,
Phrenology Is a psuedo-sclence
whose devotees claim that the exter-

Index to the mind and character. Since
Its origination by Doctor Gall, In 1790,
the system has undergone many
changes, hut It doea not exist In tho

Aim High, Is Good Advice.
Aim at perfection In everything,

to It than those whose laziness and
despondency make them give It up as
unattainable.—Chesterfield.

Temperature and Sound.
When the temperature Is 32 degrees,
sound travels 1,090 feet a second and

Electricity over a wire where there Is

i On the basis of there being played
150 games for the season and allowing
five new balls for each game, enough
baseballs have been furnished theAmer-
Ican troops by the Army Y. M. C. A.
to run the National league and the
American association for 347 years.
Allowing two new halls for each game,
there were enough baseballs to ploy a
series of 25 sand-lot games for 7,149
clubs.
There were 355,955 baseballs bought
and shipped by the "Y” from July,
1917, to November 30, 1018, for the use
of our army. Side by side they would
reach 18% miles, and would make n
solid tench of baseballs six feet, high
for three-fourths of n mile.
Over 100.000 bats were nlso fur-
nished. Placed end to end, they
would reach 52 miles. End to end in
the air, they would rise to ten times
the height of the highest mountain Ip
the world, or be equal In height to 608
