Properly made, will cooked, eaten at regular hours, un<» chew ed slowly to avoid swallowing small pieces whole, tin* “hot dogs” are good for men. But, eaten between meals, haphazard and rapidly, they contribute to tin* 50,000,000 cases of American dy spepsia.

That answers those who ask: “Is there really such a thing as a soul?” William Ilohenzollern, once Em peror, i- seventy. lie looks well, Tout disillusioned, wears a full beard, mustaches no longer wax ed or turned up at the point. tie will celebrate by publishing a book called “My Ancestors.” It. could be inter.-,t ing, going back to the early money-lending family of East Prussia that got its name from high interest rates. Hut It’s hard to write impartially about your own people. William derided that some things were wrong in the Ilohen zollern family, and blames its trouble-, p-as-ion, smlden rages, bad temper, etc., on a woman. Maria Pawlowa, Russian by blood, Ilohenzollern by accident of marriage. That n minds you of Adam blaming Eve. William says Maria was “the vitlian of my family.” His prede cessor, Frederick the Cl resit, would know better. Maria Pawlowa, lie cause she was wild, violent, un governable, may have given Prus sia’s ruling family its genius.
