Forty days was the period devoted In ancient times to the burial of the dead. The spies of the Israelites spent 40 days In Canaan before they submitted the report. Jonah gave the residents of Nlneweh 40 days In which to consider his prophecy and repent.

Christ, Moses and Elijah each fasted for 40 days the Christian observance of Lent being a commemoration of the most notable of these. Under WIHIanf the Conqueror no man was permitted to remain in England more than 40 days without paying a tax of some kind, while under the Magna Charta it is provided that a widow shall remain 40 days in the house of her deceased husband before being allotted her dowry. The modern sanitary adaptation of the quarantine was established by the French along the Mediterranean In order to prevent, the introduction of plague from the eastern countries, but apparently the only reason for the arbitrary setting of such a "time is that it forms one of the periods resulting from a division of the year by the mystic number nine.

Fred. P. Hansen, 662 may mean his continued support of his wife or his dependents. Often the timid school boy, who fears to quarrel, and tries his best to keep his peace with his feUows, gets the name of coward. But when this same boy has to fight for what he thinks is his honor, or to save a little boy from a bully, he becomes a very dangerous fighter.

It was ipoken by Alan Breck after the boy, David, had stood for a minute terrified on the brink of a roaring torrent, ard then, still sick with the fear of It, leaped across, To Alan Breck, the leap meant little.

It required no courage for him to make It, for he knew very little of fear. But for the boy, who did the thing he feared as he feared death, It was a real act of heroism. The only real courage consists in doing the thing we are afraid to do. The hulking prizefighter of the John Sullivan Hype, who has as much imagination as a grizzly bear, is not brave. He is sure he is going to win.

It takes no courage to go into a winning fight. The bully Is never brave. In fact he is always a coward. Feeling sure that his superior size will carry him through, he picks quarrels as a pleasant method of passing his time.

He decided to raise the man's wages. When the Chinaman received the increased money at the end of the month, he said: "Why have you paid me more?"

She has chosen the least "reasonable" method of expression Imaginable for one so afflicted. It is music. Before a large audience in the Methodist church here Miss Martin played what is probably the first piano re-cital in the history of the world to have been given by a person with meither sight nor hearing. It cannot now be said that she Is without speech, for she articulates even unfamiliar names accurately and The intricacy of the method by which a person whose sensations are practically limited to those of heat and cold, pain and taste enters a whole new world Is not comprehensible to the normal person. Martin might possibly have been taught to place her fingers on certain of the piano keys and press them down by note, but that would not explain her ability to grasp rhythm, nor whatever the sense is that tells her when she is about to make a mistake in time to avert it She never has heard, and never been able to recognize objects.

For a few years after birth she was able to distinguish between light and darkness, but never more. For 20 years there has not even teen that travesty on sight. "Feels" Her Music. Miss Martin Is able to "feel" her music best by placing the ball of her foot against the bottom of her upright piano, her mother, Mrs. Helen May says.

At the church, however, she did not want to risk scarring the instrument she was using, so she got approximate-Jy the' same result by holding her left under the "soft" pedal. Gounod's "March Pontifical," the "Don Giovanni" minuet of Mozart, Morrison's familiar "Meditation," Lang's equally familiar "Flower Song." the first two movements of Beethoven's "Moonlight" sonata, and Carrie Jacobs Bond's "A Perfect Day" were the numbers used. The precision with which the young woman picked her motes out of completely blank space, struck them, and managed rltards, dynamics, and pedal were marvelous. All the pieces were taken deliberately, of course, but the distortions that would have been evident had she learned entirely by rote were absent. In the second movement of the sonata the rhythm Is not simple.

But neither was It too much for Miss Martin. At the end of her program, she repeated the "Flower Song" for an encore. Experiments with the piano were begun a good many years ago by the woman's mother, but only In the Jast few years have they been pressed. Never has there been available a teacher who understood both the methods used for the sightless and those for the deaf. Miss Andrea Granger, who sat on the platform with Miss Martin, Is by a coincidence her first and latest teacher.

(Copyright) Trade Commissioner of Department of Commerce Says Corn Furnishes Cheapest Cereal Food Produced In This Country. Washington. The corn crop of the United States would supply all the so-called cereal calories for over people, according to Dr.

J. A. LeClerc, trade commissioner of the Department of Commerce. The 20.000,000 starving or undernourished Russians could be supplied with all the cereal part of their diet needed from 5 per cent of America's annual corn crop, is the opinion of Doctor LeClerc. "The corn crop of the United States during the last ten years has averaged over two.

and three-quarter billion bushels," says Doctor LeClerc. "Fully 90 per cent of this Is fed directly to animals. Of the amount consumed by hogs and cattle, no more than 10 per cent of the food value Is returned in ing little lines upon your face, often becomes a burden almost too heavy for self-respect.

Of corn, however, only 3 per cent of the crop, or approximately bushels, were ground into meat or flour suitable for bread purposes. It is thus seen that while this country's corn crop is over three and one-half times greater than its returned wheat crop, less than one-fifth as much of the corn as of the wheat Is consumed directly as food. "Each year the people of this country consume about fifty pounds of corn per capita as a human food. The Italians, on the other hand, eat about 50 per cent more than we do, or 76 pounds per capita.

The Rumanians and the people of the other corn-growing countries, e. Hungary, Russia, Jugo-Slavla, grow considerable quantities and consume large amounts of corn. Food Value High. "Looking at corn flour, corn grits and meal from the standpoint of their composition and food value, it may be asserted from the results of Department of Agriculture experiments that grits and meal have the same nutritional value as rice, and that corn flour and soft winter wheat flour have essentially equal fowl value. Grits can therefore replace rice in the diet, and corn flour replace a portion of the wheat flour, without decreasing the value of the food one lota.

In this country, broken rice has often been as much as 33 per cent more expensive than corn grits at present wheat flour (clear grade) costs about twice as much as corn flour. Corn flour and corn grits are the cheapest cereal foods produced in this country and are available not only for home consumption, but for export.
