A cord that bowmen love;
So we'll drain our jacks

Once in awhile bit of slang is
so expressive it becomes incorpor-
ated into the language as an allow
able idiom. One of the most strik-
ing of these is making good" It
has come to have not simply a
general but a specific meaning. 1t
illustrates the idea of competition;
it indicates that under intense
modern methods it is only he who
succeeds that can, in the long run,
win recognition. Recommendations
testim on1als, requests from eminent
men, all fall before the stern decree
that you must make good"
"A Chicago doctor says that for
the last fifteen years he has used
egg to cure felon and has veto see
case 1t will not cure. The way
to apply the egg is as follows: Take
fresh egg and crack the shell at
the larger end, make a hole just
large enough to admit the thumb
or finger, whichever it may be, and
force it in the egg as far as possible
without rupturing the shell. Wipe
off the egg that runs out and bind a
handkerchief or solf cloth around
the finger or thumb leaving the egg
on over night. This will generally
cure in one application.
