When beggar asked a Philadel-
phia stationer one day for help the
latter offered him two lead pencils,
saying, "With half the effort re-
CURED in begging you can easily sell
these for 5 cents apiece"
The beggar gazed at the pencils
scornfully. >"Who'd give me 5 cents

'Why, anybody said the station

"Would you" asked the beggar.
|Why, certainly was the reply.
A smile of triumph spread over
the grimy features Of the mendicant.
"Here you are, them" he said.
"Gimme the 10 cents. You can't go
back on your own word"

finally entered into the deal, and
hereafter he will adopt other tactics.

Many families that number dyspep-

bread at every meal In many cases
the good results have been rapid. A
woman of my acquaintance has been
steadily improving. with fewer and
fewer attacks Of Indigestion, since
her doctor recommended this simple
experiment. However. the toast
made in the ordinary way that is
soggy within and scorched outside

The bread must be thoroughly
dried out in the oven before toasting
then brought to a golden brown. Per
haps more than one dyspeptic suffer

soggy bread. Even second day

Color plays an important part in

general insti tied a series of tests.
He had boxes painted with various
colors and placed in a mosquito
haunted neighborhood. It was found
that the one painted blue attracted
10S insects, next came brown and
dark red, but these attracted only
two each. Yellow failed to secure
