Then the rheumatism disappeared, and hasn’t played a re¬ turn engagement since. I have talked with Jasper often, trying to point out the folly of his claim, lint he refuses to yield an inch. ‘I used to have all kinds of rheumatics before I got that horse chestnut,’ he says, ‘ami now I haven't a single one. Who would ask better proof than that?’ •‘And echo answers who, my dear Mrs. Jiggers. It may be that a horse chestnut in the hip pocket is a specific (or rheumatism. It isn’t' safe to de¬ nounce any theory as a false alarm. “Ira Grifway used to be always groaning about his diseases, until it became unpleasant to meet him. He couldn’t talk about anything else. He ignored the crops and regarded the weather witli contempt, ami devoted all his great energy find talents to a discussion of the tilings that were hurting him. Then all of a sudden he began boasting of how hale and hearty he was. He explained that the road to health was absurdly easy, and there was no excuse for sickness any¬ where. All a man had to do, he said, was to get up early in the morning, before sunrise, anil draw in a hundred long breaths of the crisp morning air. “He made the discovery himself, and It was more important than any mod¬ ern invention. His sincerity is shown by the fact that there was no possible graft connected with it. A man can’t sell the morning atmosphere at so much per breath. Ira’s great discov¬ ery was free to everybody. If I were going to invent a cure for anything ,1'd compound something that could be put up in bottles and sold at a dollar a throw. The man who invents a fresh air cure is running benevolence into the ground. “His cure was so cheap that I de¬ cided to try it, as I was suffering from a broken heart and a sluggish liver at that period.

PLAIDS ANb PLAITS Hi // Designers of separate skirts have reveled in the combination of plaids and plaits tills season, and varied this pleasing pastime by exercising their ingenuity on stripes and plaits. Every sort of plait is employed to beguile in I cresting and sometimes surprising el fectsout of familiar plaids and stripes, and if the separate skirt needed any¬ thing to further its cause, it could not ask better help than the present vogue for plaits. One of these attractive skirts, shown here, employs knife plaits at the front and back, leaving a plain panel at each side, with kindness aforethought, for tiiose women whc adore slender lines. HOMAN ROADS NOT PERFECT Suitable for T^affic of That Time, but Would Nc-t Last Under Mod ern Conditions. i Modern opinion, examining the road-building of the Romans and com¬ paring it with that of today, has reached Conclusions which seriously diminish the reputation of the Ro¬ man engineers, or at any rate show that they built to meet the conditions of a certain kind of traffic. They built for endurance, but their roads, say these surprising critics, were svi rough that modern vehicles would be shaken to pieces on them in short or¬ der. If Julius Caesar had driven a motor car along the Appian Way. so suggests Motor Life, the journey would have shaken him out of his armor, shaken his plumed helmet off Ills head, and presently have shaken his motor into a worthless wreck. The criticism comes from a study of the Construction of the old Roman roads; but from what one knows of the Ro¬ mans, one may feel reasonably cer¬ tain that if Caesar had been wont to go about in an automobile the Roman engineers would have built roads that would have made motoring less ex ciiing and expensive. And the Ro¬ man chariot, one may imagine, bumped in moderation because its pace was limited to match that of the marching legions. Sounds Improbable. Scientists will hardly accept tho statement at the inquest on a man killed bv lightning that “an exact im- 1 » )restii « n of th f tree under which ...» he was sheltering” was found on the vie tim’s bodv. It is incredible that even the power, of a lightning flash is of sufficient Intensity to imprint an Im¬ age through opaque clothing. And. if it were, a person would surely Have to lie a considerable .distance from so large'a n object as a tree for the angle it subtends to be small enough to en¬ able its photograph to be recorded on the body. The most, reasonable explanation of these phenomena is that the lightning causes extravasation of blood from the blood vessels beneath the skin thus rendering visible the treelike ram I ifleatione of the veinous system. It i would have been inteiesting to note | under what kind of a tree the unfor | tunate man was sheltering. For, if j one must take shelter (it is far Wiser « to take a soaking) one’s chances of j safety depend largely upon the sort of ; AMERICAN ; ! THE j ^PEACE RED CROSS IN, ; TIME !
