B et M P NEWSPAPER OF THE FUTURE Tickers to Replace Presses Under Visualized Plan Which Seems to Be Quite Possible. The newspaper office of the future— one without presses, typesetting ma- chines, casting boxes or other costly and complicated machines used today in newspaper production—such is the ofice visualized by Oscar Roesen, vice president of R. Hoe & Son, press builders. In a letter to the Brookiyn Eagle recently, Mr. Roesen gives his idea of the possibility of the newspa- per office of tomorrow. “No press room,” he writes, “but a large room filled with telegraph in- struments and operators, eachinstru- ment . connected with thousands of wires forming a cable running under- ground to the houses of all subscrib- ers, a bulletin board in the home of every subscriber with a stock ticker printing arrangement connected by a wire with the main fnstrument in the publication office. T “When any news was ready and the, copy was given to the telegraph op- erator it would be flashed over the wires, possibly one Instrument print- ing through twenty thousand wires to twenty thousand subscribers, on the order of the telephone system, all the news as fast as it comes in. “Before the subscriber goes to bed he puts in a fresh sheet of paper and while he sleeps the news is printdd on the sheet and read at his break- fast.” EXPLAINS CAUSE OF COLDS Lowered Vitality, Due to Many Condi- tions, Frequently Responeible for Annoying Aliment. . Colds are caught by a combination of two conditions, first, the presence of certain germs in the nose and throat, and second, by a change in the blood supply to the membrane of these parts. & Rossbach found by experiments on rabbits that chilling the outside of the body drives the blood inwards, causing congestion of the air pas- sages. ) Recently some authorities. have demonstrated a lack of circulation in the nasal passage produced by chilling. The final effect, however, seems to be the same whether the conditfon is cengestion or bloodless- ness. In a perfectly healthy person these conditions are controlled sufficiently by vasomotor action of the blood ves- sels to prevent Injury to the mem- brane. If, however, the action of the blood vessels i{s not up to mor- mal, these conditions may continue till the membrane is injured by in- flammation so that It loses its resist- ance and even the germs comménly present obtaln a foothold. This sub- | normal action 6 the vasomotor sys- Lady Ann is the wife of General| Azgapatian, commander of a divi- sion of Armenians in the Russian army.

She and her husband are now giving their entire time to lecturing and working for the Near East relief campaign. She will remain in St. Paul until the 19th.

Old Buropean Famiiles. The oldest family of Great Britain s said to be the Mar family, in Scot- land, which can trace its pedigree te the year 1063.

Stoien Fruit. . In how many things is each day lke its predecessor? ,And in how many things are this year's days like the days of ten years ago—or longer? Just think of this in your own rou- tine and habits. Then, if you wish to have an interesting experience. see in how many ways you could change this monotony and sameness without disad- vantage and with positive advantage in many cases — and then make the change. True, it will come almost as a shock, the realization that many confirmed habits, customs, viewpoints have been arfd are time wasted, strength wasted, money wasted, useless and needless drains and strains. And if you are sin- cere and determined in the conversion of your mode of life in the daily little things, you will be astonished to find that some of your most cherished cus- toms are the most reasonless. The discipline of changing will be good ; the resulting saving of time will be better.—Exchange. Dry-Time Atrocity. A tale of woe, with Sir Arthur Shir- ley Benn, head of the British trade mission, was told at a dinner at New York. Sir Arthur, when he arrived in the United States, brought his own syp- ply with him—in a golf bag. Recently the supply was exhausted—all save a half-bottle of real stuff. Calling iin some of his fellow delegates, Sir Ar- thur proposed a final drink. Glasses were Mled, the bottle was emptied and a toast was proposed. Sir Arthur Mkes water in his. And at some of the Amer- ican hotels where he had stopped they have cute little taps stuck:into the wall or into the washbowl from which ice water flows when the button is pressed. This was the last drink and Sir Arthur wanted to be careful. So he pressed the button carefully. Then he tried to down his drink. He didn’t; he had made a mistake. Instead of the ice- water tap he had used a tap that yield- ed liquid soap. + Fish Knows Dinner Call. Visitors to Bath are interested in a huge golden carp that has been traio- ed by Mr. W.
