His Life Saved by n CommOn sense
Physician.
Early in my husbands professional
career, says the wife of busy physi-
clan in What to Eat, he was called In
haste to the assistance OF boy who
in some way had succeeded in lodging
a fishhook in his throat. 1t was such
a queer accident that we could not
help laughing over it, despite the grav-
ity Of the case. Aiming himself with
various instruments for the dslodgina
of foreign bodies in the throat. the
young doctor hurried away to find,
upon arrival, the features OF the cass
entirely changed by the lad having
swallowed the hook. The parents
were naturally much alarmed over the
outcome Of the unheard-of accident,
and in the excitement everybody was
prescribing what to do. Some were foi
pouring emetics down his throat. 9th.
ers suggested the stomach pump or q
knife as the only means Of say ng his
life, while others were for dosing him
literally with oil. While questioning
the boy regarding the size, and so
forth, of the hook, merely to gain time
for thought, my husband, calling COM
mon sense to his aid, directed that the
boy be allowed TO eat all the solid
food he could manage to digest, being
aware that the safety OF the dellcata
organs through which the hook must
pass depended solely on imbedding its
cruel points in a mass of solids. so as
to protect the surrounding tissues. The
amount of bread meat, potatoes and
other solids that that boy managed to
put out of sight that evening astons
ished even those who knew something
of the capacity Of a boys stomach.
Only the minimum of fluids was all
lowed, and, well, the young doctor was
gratified to be assured, on the follow
ing day, that his original method OF
treating fishhooks was both safe and
practical. This is an accident not
likely to become epidemic, but / re-
peat the formula, not knowing but
that it might prove advantageous in
other emergencies, such as sometimes
, arise when any sharp OF jagged edged
bodies, such as pins needles, tacks or
bits of glass have been swallowed.

Swords May Bo Aboilshed.

The suggestion of substituting n
Martini Metford carbine for the sword
an officer usually carries is being
largely discussed in military circles.
The objection against the sword is
that, when marching through hilly
countries, it hampers an officers
movements in getting over rough
ground, whilea carbine could be used
as a walking stick, thus being great
help and sNnpnrt-

Toilet Creams.

Tt is bad plan to keep quantities
of toilet cream on the table for any
length of time. The heat of the room
may affect the oils. Instead have
small salve and cream jars into which
a portion of each cream may be put,
to be renewed as needed. Put that
which is not in use in a cool place and
it will last longer and keep better.
Jars kept for tho use of creams should
be thoroughly cleaned when empted.

1t Feeds
the Hair

Have you ever thought why
your hair is falling out? 1t is
because you arc starving your
hair. If this starvation continues
your hair will continue TO fail.
There is one good hair food.
1t is Ayers Hair Vigor. 1t goes
right TO the roots Of the hair
and gives them Just the food
that they need. The hair stops
falling, becomes healthy, and
grows thick and long.

The vogue of the fringe still holds
its own, and fringe will still be en-
regle as a trimming for spring. The
new ones coming out just now, how
ever, are much lighter in weight than
they have been, to correspond with
the airy wooden fabrics and silks in
mode for spring. The spring fringes
will be applied straight, in festoons,
for sash ends, ETC., as heretofore.
Cotton fringes for adorning piques
are heralded, but, while these will
look very pretty before laundering, it
it an infinite amount of trouble after
ward to comb them out to make them
look presentable. But there is no
question about their novelty.

Heavy cream and ivory lace will
continue the fad of the trimming
world, as it has been the past winter,
and will appear on almost everything
as garniture. Strange as it may seem,
its extraordinary vogue has not caused
it to be initiated in cheap yelIowish
laces. for the simple reason that it re-
quires a good quality to produce the
proper tone, and the result in imita-
tion was not satisfactory.
