Wilson, made in twenty-one hours and twenty minutes, with only ten-minute rests between journeys, is the endurance record set by Henry H. Wheeler, fifty-five years old, of 600 North New Hampshire Avenue, Los Angeles. The feat was performed in demonstration of the value of the simple life and a vege- tarian diet. The journey of over fifty-six miles was made on a food supply consisting of only one raw egg, a handful of raisins, and a pint of unfermented grape juice. No ton- ics or alcoholic stimulants were employed, nor did Mr. Wheeler take a bath or a rub down. The day was hot, and part of the tramp was made under the burning rays of midday sun. Yet at the finish Mr. Wheeler was neither lame nor noticeably footsore. He declared that had he not been delayed by the heat and trouble with his lamp, he would have made five round trips in twen- ty-four consecutive hours without injury to himself. Mr. Wheeler is a devotee of the simple life, and for a quarter of a century he has abstained from flesh foods. For half a dozen years he has eaten but two meals daily, adhering to the “no breakfast” plan. Mr. Wheeler’s trips had their perils and their discomforts. The dust on the trails was two or three inches deep nearly all the way. He nearly walked off a 100-foot precipice. Being provided with a gas lamp, he used up half an hour in getting it into operation. This lamp he carried on night trips even after moonrise, because part of the trail was in deep shadows, ex- posing the walker to danger of a fall of a thousand feet or so as the penalty of a misstep. The day, Thursday, May 26, turned out unexpectedly hot. Other climbers were unable to make one complete trip. The heat compelled Mr. Wheeler to slacken his pace. To this fact he attributed his in- ability to complete five trips, and his stop at the end of his fourth round.— Los An- geles Examiner. WOMAN’S AUXILIARY Teasurer’s Report for Month of August.

M y m ind is not adverse to anybody or anyth ing . I see my Good everywhere.

I am g ra te fu l for the abundance now m anifest in my life and affairs.

I continually p raise and bless thee, S p irit of P len ty , and thy unfailing bounty is now poured out upon me.

T he S p irit of Ju stice secures me in th a t which is my own.

A ny th ink ing person who will stop long enough to conceive of th e absurd ity of quaran tine and isolation of disease for the purpose of contro lling its spread will not lend his influence to the perpe tuation of the superstition.

I t is said th a t a do lla r b ill exam ined a t W ashington was found to contain 92,000,-

000 germ s. I f there a re one hundred and tw enty-six billion germ s in one dejection, and 92,000,000 on a do llar bill, how many are there in the mouth and on the clothing of the average person?

I f money is covered w ith germ s, how is it th a t th is medium can go from the pocket of the quaran tined sick m an w ithout fumi­gation and even w ithout being suspected?

D octors go from house to house, yet they w on’t allow any one else to do so.

R eally , the more one thinks about quar­an tine the more absurd the whole th ing appears. I f diseases w ere contagious and infectious, as the germ theorists declare, there would be no stopping disease.

G erm s are everyw here, and they should be, and will be. T hey are for a purpose, if the re is any such th ing as purpose in the w orking out of law and o rder .— A S tu ffed Club.

COMMON MALADY“ One of my most in teresting patien ts,”

HOW TO RISET he w ay fo r a young m an to rise is to
