Blushing is, beyond any doubt, a
nervous affection caused by extreme
sensibility and self-consciousness
Flushing can only be overcome by per-
feet control of the emotions and
nerves, all statements to the contrary.
Notwithstanding. People constantly
declare that blushing is outgrown in
the course of time. The truth is. that
the blusher learns to control her
nerves and to bold rein over her
emotions. Blushing should not be con-
fused with flushing, which is one of
the symptoms of Indigestion and can
only be cured by internal treatment

BABY WAS NOT NEGLECTED
A Bogus Doctor Prescribes For a
Sick Lady.

The doctor had come in late from
a hard days work, driving from place
to place, feeling pulses, giving en-
enlargement and writing prescriptions.
He had eaten his supper at IL O'Clock,
made a last call on a man with the
grip and had turned into bed, dog
tired.
1t was long after midnight when the
telephone bell rang. The doctor was
sunk in a deep sleep. Again the bell
rang out sharply and impatiently and
continued to ring, but the doctor did
not hear it. At the other end OF the
hall pale student pored over his book.
He was studying law. The bell dis
turbed him, and he at length decided
to answer it and stop the ringing. lie
took the receiver and shouted "Hello!
us that you, doctor?' asked an anx-
ious voice.
Eyes, what do you want" replied
the student, who knew the doctor was
tired and did not wish to wake him I'M
less the case was serious.
This is Potts, doctor, HI. j. Potts.
MY wife wanted me to call you up to
tell you that the baby wouldn't play
with his blocks tonight and seemed
kind of heavy and dull. What do you
suppose is the matter, doctor! MY
wife is very uneasy"
.'Hum," said the student, trying to
think of something to say. rs the
baby feverish?"
mo, | don't think he is" replied the
voice "But he sneezed once tonight"
''Ah." said the bogus doctor, that $
a good sign. Ii he sneezed and is not
feverish he is all right. You might
give him little water if he wakes up
and cries; if he gets too warm take
some of the covers off"
"All right. doctor. Much obliged.
Sorry to have had to disturb you, my
wife wouldn't go to sleep until | called
you up Good night"
'sAh." thought the pale student, that
is 50 for the doctor. Wish l could earn
it as easily"
When he told the doctor about his
deception the next day he was thank
ed, and Mr.. Potts bill was swelled by
