decidedly original method of increasing its
circulation. 1t says: "A dozen eggs are not
worth much-10 or u cents-but we will
take the proceeds of them for a years

dozen eggs, and, good luck or bad, we
agree to give years subscription 20 the
Bee for he chickens that hatch and live
to be thirty days old, and trust 10 your
honor not to cheat us. In some instances
we may get eight or ten chickens, and
again we may get none, but we will take
the chances; so come in and give US your
name and try The plan once for luck"
DIR. A Bloch, the French anthropolo-
gist, attacks the theory that thick lips
are a denotement of sensuality while
thin and delicate lips denote spiritual
ity firmness and elevated character says
the Providence Journal. In a recent pa
per, the scientist claims that the shape,
size and color of the lips are purely race
characteristics, and that in the hybrid
|. peoples of Europe and America where
there has been such a general informing
ling, of races, a child may well Inherit
from not very remote ancestors lip forms
that completely belle the actual charac-
ter of the child, as indicated by the lip
theory. DR.. Bloch's Investigations salts
fly him that really thick lips in the white
races are always anomalies or freaks of
nature.
