OF the summer months the first
unnatural looseness of a child's
bowels should have immediate at

If you travel back and forth into
town every day you no doubt read your
morning and evening paper. OF a mag
azine, on the train. says the Chicago
American. While this is not. indeed
the best practice for the eyes, it seems
a pity to waste so much time which
might be turned to good account
Much of the annoyance which comes
from train reading is due to the jolting
Of the cars. which continually knocks
the printed line out Of focus with the
eye.
This can be in some degree obviated
by laying a card or some other object
bslow the line to be read, and moving
It steadily downward while reading.
This acts as a guide to the eye, and
helps to keep the sight fixed. Those
who have tried it say that It wonderful.
ly assists to decrease the difficulty Of
reading while in motion.

Real Fish Story

Coney Island has a new fish story,
Like most others of it's kind It sounds
a bit improbable at first, but fortun'
ately II can be verified any night,
The story really Ia not SO much about
fish az 1t Is about the new bait which
fishermen on the long pleasure piers
are using with startling success. This
new bait Is nothing less than an cleo
trio light. The wiley fishermen who
perch on the piers day and night have
discovered that the brilliant bulb has
a great attraction for the fish. Sew.
eral fishermen Immediately secured
electric light bulbs. plugs and wires,
and when no one was looking at
tached them to one of the many sock
cts In the pier The light Is suspend
ed an inch or two above the surface
of the water and a regularly baitel
hook thrown close to 1t. Curiosity
does the rest. for the fish coming to
investigate the light takes the bait
and are pulled out. So easy 1t Is tC
catch fish in this way, even the most
unpropitious night, according TO

degree since January first only three
convictions have been secured out of
the forty.nine cases tried-a showing
over which New York cannot en-.

since In Chicago during the same
period sixty out of the IL? persons
indicted were found guilty as charged
"A record for convictions of better

York takes grain of comfort In the
fact that her indictments were only
