SWIMMING IN GREAT SALT LAKE

Rather Than q Benefit.

Rather Than Benefit.
New York Tribune.
Robert Bridges of Boston lately
at the Hotel Manhattan told OF an ex.
perience he had once in the Great Salt
lake of Utah. "I was staying at Salt
Lake City with some friends" said Mr..
Bridges, and one day they invited me
to 60 out to Garfield beach for swim.
After checking our valuables and dom
ming our bathing clothes We assembled
in the pavilion and made our way to
the water. Up and down the sides OF
the inclosed spaces were runways lead
ing to the water and at each was a
card showing the depth OF the water at
that particular point. What depth

"At the end Of the runway steps

THE BACHELORS MARITAL TEST

A bachelor and three married mer

them, drenched in moonlight, ths
garden lay beautiful and calm.
Drinking, smoking, under the moon
the three urged the one to marry
They praised matrimony, they recited
it's honorable and clean joys.
"Are you perfectly happy" said the
bachelor.
Perfectly, perfectly happy"
"And will you, to demonstrate your
happiness, do anything ask%
Yes. Oh, yes"
Let each Of you, then, tomorrow
morning, send his wife anonymously
a costly bouquet of flowers"
"Is that all?"
"That is all. But do not mention
this gift first. Let your wives men

"All right"
And meet me again in the garden
here tomorrow night. promise my.

The four on the following night met
in the garden again.
"Well," said the bachelor.
"My bouqet of flowers" said the
first married man, miscarried." He

"My bouquet" said the second mar

"And mine also miscarried," said
the third married man. He loosened
the belt about his stomach. "Hang

There was space of silence. The
bachelor said:
"The flowers were not mentioned?"
"They were not mentioned"

"Not word"
Then the happy married men re.

This experiment had failed, but what

The Medical Colleges Contention an Irdeseent
Drsam-'t Is Only Good in Theory.
There is slight likelihood that the
tendency toward combination anon G
physicians will be checked by the &C.
ton OF the American Academy Of Med.
icine Convention, lately in session at
Chicago, in advocating altruism in the
profession. DR.. Winfield S. Hall, in
an address before the delegates, said
the welfare of others should be the
dominating principle of physicians,
without thought Of pecuniary reward.
To be useful and successful member
of the medical profession, said DR..
Hall, one must subordinate self to the
welfare Of his fellow. men, and that en-.
during fame in the profession can be
won through altruism only.
The ethics OF the medical profession
will receive q shock when DR.. Halls
theory is exploited. There was q
time when it was considered ss serious
an offense for physician to "dun"
his patient as it was to advertise in a
newspaper. Now it is different, and
the physicians in many cities have
formed trusts to force delinquents to
settle or die without medical attention
unless they can pay in advance. In
plain words the patient who does not
settle promptly is "blacklisted," and
when, suddenly stricken, his family
call in q physician, the professional
man first consults his blacklist" and
then looks after the dying man.
Can it be that humanitariaus are to
have an inning and that mercensries
are to be relegated to the rear? Judg.
ing by Tom Johnson's anti.suicide
commission 10 Cleveland, and the ad.
vocacy of altruism by the American
Academy of Medicine, this seems pos.
sible if not probable.

A half lemon rubbed on the hands

Mudstains on black cloth will dis.
appear when rubbed with raw potato.
Dried orange peel allowed to burn
in room will leave a pleasant fresh

Put the carpets on the living-room
floor in such way that they may be
taken up and shaken often. II is
easier than sweeping so much.
Meat baked in the oven and never
basted is often like tough leather
throughout. In baking. a very hot
oven is wanted for five minutes, then
heat should be reduced for gentle cook
ing.

are made OF flour sacks, washed and

A long shelf behind the stove is one
of the handiest things in my kitchen.
1t is about 6 feet long and Is inches
wide, and holds the kitchen lamp and
matches and other things too numerous
to mention. Under the shelf is q row
of nails that hold pots and pans and
kettles and dishrags and cloths. The
shelf is about shoulder high.
1t is we'll that housewives should
know that paper bags are made of a
compound of rags, lime, glue and sim
liar substances mixed with chemicals
and acid. When dry these can do no
harm, but if allowed to become damp
paper bag is unfit to touch articles
OF food. Never, therefore, keep food
