Did, You ever notice While enjoying
your faVorite cigar that the smoke that

from the mouth is of wnitish grayI
The explanation Of this oddly is not
far to seek. The wreath from the fiery
end of the cigar is in the shape Of in
fnitesimal dust particles, and all such
particles (even the blue Of the atmos-
phere is explained in the same way) re
feet the blue color. In the case of tbs
exhaled smoke the fine particles have
united with the moisture Of the breath
and have thereby become several folds
larger than those escaping direct from
the burning tobacco. This being the
case, they have become large enough
to reflect the white light, which gives
the eXhaled smoke an entirely different

The so called cravings Of appetite are
purely the result Of habit A habit
once acquired and persistently follow
ed soon has us in its grasp, and then
any. deviation thercfroIl temporarily
disturbs our physiological equilibrium.
The system makes complaint, and we
experience a craving, it may be, for
that to which the body has become ac-
customed, even though this something
be in the long run distinctly injurious
to the welfare Of the body. There has
thus come about a sentiment that the
cravings Of ehe appetite for food are
to be fully satisfied, that this is merely
obedience to natures laws. This idea,
however, is fundamentally wrong. Any
one with q little persistence can change
his Or her habits of life, change the
whole order OF cravings thus demon
stratirg that the latter are purely arti-
-fcia and that they have no Necessary
connection with the welfare Oh needs
Of the body. In other words, dietetic
requirements are to be founded not
upon SO called instinct and craving,
but upon reason and intelligence.-Ilu

His Love Was His Ruin.

When Hannibal had crossed the Alps
into Italy he established himself in
winter quarters in one Of the finest
houses i'll Capua. While walking one
day in the garden lie heard a sweet
voice near at hand. Struck by the
charm Of its tones, he sent for the
singer and became so enamored of
her that he at once attached her to his
household and disposed Of her haplesg
husband by beheading him. RetTibu
ton quickly followed this outrage. The
balance of the winter was devoted to
pleasure Drill and discipline were
neglected, and as spring came on the
Carthaginian army was so demoralized
that it's prestige was lost, and the
downfall of Hannibal followed.

Large Crowds at Both Performance
Made the Affair a Financial
and Social Success.

The Midway at the city hall Fri
day and Saturday evenings came to
a close Saturday evening with a
larger attendance than on the open
ing night and the whole affair can be
counted splendid success, both from
a social and financial point. The
arrangement of the Midway features
were excellent, the booths being
placed under the gallery and allow
ing the center of the hall to be util-
lied for the crowds of people to move
around. Each of the booths were
provided with spielers an" as soon as
the grand march of the evening was
concluded 1T seemed as If bedlam had
broken loose. Everybody entered in
to the spirit of the OCCASION and all
were bent on having a good time
in seeing the various attractions.
Considerable effort was spent in ar
ranging the booths and in getting
up the attractions, and what was pre-
'sented Vas worthy of patronage Of the
people. Each evening in the Ger
man village supper was served that
was made up of strictly German
viands that were prepared in a man
ncr that aroused an appetite at once.
Mrs. S. j. Moore had charge of the
village and she was assisted by Mrs.
A. Fl. Daniels, Mrs. w. Abbey, Mrs
f. II. Winsor, Mrs. Higgins, Mrs. j.
f. Cooper and the little mattresses,
all of whom were dressed in Dutch
costumes Of valied kinds and colors
The japanese booth was costly ar
ranged affair and it was very invit-
ing to those who wished to take a
cup of tea. or purchase some OF the
Japanese ware on sale. The booth
was in charge of Mrs. b. NJ. john

cock and Mrs Robert Ward. The
lemon squeeze always had crowd
round to quaH the delicious lemonade

est number Of seeds in lemon. 1t
was surprising the number OF lemons
that contained no seedS. The booth
was in charge Of Mrs VIM NJ. Smith,
who was assisted by Mrs. Jay Dun
das. Mrs. j. f. Anderson and Mrs
S. T. Greene. The booth was band
somely decorated in yellow and white
and an orange tree stood in the lack
ground laden with fruit, while Jap
anese lanterns lighted added to the
effect. The candy kitchen was a
place that was sought by the young
sters and the middle aged and the
older ones, for candy never fails to
appeal to the taste. The candies
were home made and they were pre-
pared in fine shape. So great was the
rush Saturday evening that the la
dies were sold out hardly before the

For several months the CONNER
cial Committee has been in CORES

evening w,s fairly started. The
Kitchen was in charge of Mrs. Robert
Burns and she was assisted by Mis-.
VIM. M. Herbert. Mrs. e. w Downcy
and Miss Lillian Bately. The dime
museum came in for a large patron
age both evenings to see the curiosi-
ties which had been gathered from
the tour corners of the earth. and
these were so marvellous as to excite
the admiration and wonder or the vis-
ltors. The booth was i'm charge of
Mrs. Sid w. Smith, who was assisted
by MIS-. Edith Ia Ighman, Misses
Alice Spaneler and Clare Nobls.
The postotlice did tlourishing bust
ness and it was equipped with Sec
tlon of regular up-to-dat postol1ice.
lDere were letters ior everybody and
if people tailed to call for their mai
special carriers we're sent out to hun
up the deinQuents. Miss Florence
Lafullette conducted the postollice,
and she was heloed out i'm delivering
the mail by Misses Laura Saul and
Grace Daniels and B. White as spe-
cial carriers. A fine Punch and Judy
Show was arranged by Mrs. j. ID.
Anderson, who was assisted in the
lively conversations carried on by
these two famous people by Mrs. A.
+. Hitchcock and Mrs. L. d. Milne.
They always had crowd that was
amused in the witty dialogue. The
fat woman, whose weight varied at
different times during the evening,
was gazed at in open astonishment
and the amount Of averdupois seemed
to be burden to ber. 1t was not
ascertaned how she reached such a
pedestal from which she was viewed.
Reed Owen stood the test the first
night and Fred LaFollette was called
upon to mpersonate this famous lady
the second night. Miss Maud LaFol-
lette had this wonder in charge.
The Hindoo school, with Zurocko as
the chief mogul, impersonated by
Jack Levings, was in charge of Miss
es Goldie Beepe and Jsadore Hough,
both of whom we're dressed in cos
TUNES that were pretty and appropri-
ate. They stood outside of the booth
and with tambourines attracted
many people their way. The Ato-
kad Concert CO. was one OF the big
features of the Midway, which was
in charge OF Mrs. W, A. Heimberger,
assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Fred M.
Bailey and Mr. Heimberger. An ex-
cellent program Of specialties was
given twice during the evening and
each time the room was filled to it's
capacity. The specialties were all
good and the local talent made fine
impression. The fortune tellers,
Mrs. Virginia Doyle and Mrs. Geo.
Nj. Rowley, did "a llourishing busi-
ness and the people they sent away
from their tent in happy and joyful
condition as they pondered over what
was to come to them III the future,
were numerous.
The Midway was given under the
direction of st. Mary's Gulld of the
Episcopal church and they will clear
a goodly sum from.the venture. The
gross receipts for the two nights and
afternoon from all sources amounted
to about S34o The people in general
were generous in their donations in
all lines and the ladies feel very
grateful indeed to all who helped
in this or any other manner that con-
tributed toward the success of the
affair.
