A Budding Poet.

| A Budding Poet.
[ hope soon to have the honor
Cha! Ha!) Of inditing several
poems to members Of the fair sex.
Just who they ali are I haven't
decided. [ saw Sarah Bernhard
once, and I think we'll of the pic
ture of the young lady represented
in the advertisements of the
Ostermoor mattress for SIS.
[ believe | caught the fever
from Chowchow, and truly I am
ashamed of the disease as we'll as
worried, for they tell me it's fatal.
| Now once, long ago, before the
bar sinister, not to mention the
other bars, came into my life [
could with impunity dedicate a
poem to w. I. Nolan or any favor
ite that happened to please my
fancy, but now it is different, and
it's a wonder to me that a man
with the intellectual and linguistic
ability of the much travelled Chow
chow doesn't see DR.. Millet and
get something to stop so destruc-
tive a disease, especially as it is
catching and dangerous.
Immediately after reading
Chowchow's production in last
weeks MIRROR I was seized with
the desire to indite a lovely
poem in honor of Sarah Bern
hardt, for as [ mentioned l saw
her once and she suited me to T.
One thing prevented me, and I
believe it has stopped the progress
of the malady in my case. I was
afraid Sarah would show my poem
to her friends and ssy: "What do
you think of the nerve of that
lobster inditing poems to me?''
It's more than probable she would
say that, if not worse.

| Make it Chilli Con. Carne. TT

Back to the farm in the ice
bound regions of arctic Iceland
and let the chilly breezes cool thy
fevered blood! There you can
foist your poetry on the natives
without fear of criticism or abuse.
But in this glorious country young
ladies sometimes have big brothers
and always friends who resent
poetical or any other kind of adj
vances from unknown parties.
/ No doubt exists in my mind
but what you have been a whirl-
wind, and a book from your pen
regarding the secrets of the social
world would undermine society.
But it would be cruelty unkind OF
you to continue to unload such
secrets, for while you not only
implicate yourself, you make it
look bad for some of the rest Of us
who, while we may have witnessed
many distressing scenes in our
life, believe they should rest in
obscurity, especially when the
sacred name Of wife is involved.
Now Chowchow, an ode to a
shoe or a poem to ball of Irvine,
would be all right It is we'll to re-
member that at present our world
is bounded by walls, other than
stone and our "boost" doesn't
count. A word to the wise is
sufficient. j. H. D.

CONSUMPTION
IS CONTAGIOUS

All physicians admit that consump-
tion Is contagious.
AS the sputum dries. the bacilli, or
germ poison, which IL contains are
thrown into the atmosphere. and as.
laden with catarrhal discharges. they
are breathed into weak lungs. these
poisOns take root and consumption is
developed. The only way 10 prevent
this disease is TO breathe into the air
pipes Of bronchial tubes the vapors Of
a healing oil laden with germ killing
remedy. No medicine taken into the
stomach has ever yet cured genuine
consumption.
According to the Worlds Consump-
ticn Congress OF Physicians, which met
In London a year ago last July, the
only germ killing remedy that has been
successful Is the one discovered by Prof.
Koch. of Berlin, and manufactured un-
der the supervision OF the German gov
ernment. and is called the Koch Tu-
berculine."
Although as an injection IL failed. it
has been wonderfully successful when
given by the Koch inhalation process.
This process was first introduced into

whom the system was named. and is

righteousness in the evident freshness
and intensity Of his disappointment. /

possibly expect anything else. Prac-
tical men should not expect practical
results from mere reminiscent compass

OF WOMEN
OF EDUCATION TO MARRY

To the Editor Of The Times;
There is a great deal said about the
reluctance OF educated women to marry.
Possibly their education has something
to do with it in that it enables them the
better to observe and consider the con-
dition Of their married sisters.
They see them obliged to beg from
their husbands every dollar that they
get. often he insists on knowing just
what they intend 10 do with each dollar
and II he thinks that expenditure un-
necessary. he does not give it. As II a
man could properly judge of a woman's
needs,
And when he does give II his manner
shows unwilliugness even when he
doesn't add some unkind remark. He
may al times tell her that the money is
Just as much hers as it is his. But yet
he takes good care that she don't get
much. if any, OF it to use as she thinks
best
To a woman accustomed 10 making

she wants without anyone 10 interfere,
such a condition is torture. And il the

man does something to earn money TO
