Following Instructions.

At the Roosevelt hospital the other
morning poor woman came to the
clinic. She was suffering greatly so
the doctor administered an einetic at
once. Then he sent her hcne, with
the warning that her stomach was
in bad condition and that she could
diet.
Later little girl appeared at the
nearest drug store, asking for some
eye stuff.
"What color?" eaid the clerk.
II don't know" answered the child.
''But surely you must have some
preference" said the obliging sales
man.
She only shook her head in response.
"Well, will you take blue?"
Eyes, guess 80"
The clerk, determined to ferret out
the cause of such unusual indifference
asked:
"What are you going to use the dye
for, little girl?"
She answered, "My mamma had q
pain in her stomach and the doctor at
the big hospital said she should dye

But it is very difficult to deter

discoveries took care to leave no

them were afraid of their where
