Washington has now lost her most

Washington Harvey, whose establish
ment on Pennsylvania avenue has long
enjoyed national reputation, more
particularly for its choice oysters and
the manner in which they were served
there. Once upon time the writer of
this paragraph went into Harvey's res
taurant and ordered some oysters ON
the shell. They were, promptly served,
but they did not present so plump an
appearance as the writer had been
accustomed to, and Harvey's attention
was called to the fact.

Anemia means a condition In which
the blood is deficient in quality or
quantity. 1t Is question among ply
sicians whether there Is ever an ac-
tual permanent reduction In the total
amount of the blood. The quantity
must vary, of course, from hour to
hour, according to the amount Of fluid
that is drunk, and the amount that ID
lost by perspiration and in other ways.
but 1t is probable that the average ref
mains about the same from day to day,
except in cases of actual starvation
and deprivation of water.
Anemia, then, is mainly a question
Of the makeup of the blood, that is, Of
the number Of its red corpuscles, or
cells, and the relative amount of hem
oglobin-the coloring matter-which
these contain. The blood Is complex
fluid, but in simple terms 1t may be
said to be salty solution, containing
two kinds Of cells-the red and the
white corpuscles. The white enes are
the scavengers of the body as well as
the policemen and the soldiers. They
protect the body from the disease
germs which threaten its existence
The red corpuscles, on the other hand.
are the commissary department. They
bring to the tissues the oxygen which
they need and remove the gaseous
waste products.
If the red corpuscles and the sub
- xxyhfO To- 10
composed, the hemoglobin, are reduced
in amount, the tissues suffer for lack
Of oxygen. and there Is a lowering Of
all the vital processes. The lessened
proportion Of hemoglobin accounts fofs
the paleness which is the chief out
ward sign of anema.
. 1t Is common to speak Of two forms
of anemla-primary and secondary.
Primary Is the term used when the
anemia can be traced to no definite
cause, but seems to be disease in it.
self. Secondary is the word used when
the anemia is evidently the result Of
some other condition, such as wasting
diseases or poor nourishment 1t Is
then only one of the symptoms OF such
underlying state.
Among the chief causes of secondary
anemia are drains upon the system by
frequent losses Of blood, or by diarrhea
or other wasteful discharges, chronic
poisoning by lead or mercury, by the
essential posions of certain diseases,
such as rheumatism and tuberculosis,
and by poisons formed in the body and
not promtly removed, which Is called
"autointoxication," and finally the de-
struction Of the red corpuscles by a
microorganism, as is the case in ma
laria.-Youth's Companion.

Hsw to save Gas Bill..

A city merchant who has a passion

WHAT THE HELLO GIRL" DOES
She is an Important Factor of Daily
Life, Especially Concerning Pro-
lection From Fire and
Maurauders.

Few citizens Of Mexico realize the
important part played in our daily
life by the young women in the CEN
trail telephone office, and a still smaller
number appreciate their usefulness
and the many disadvantages they la.
Dor under during rush hours. She is
supposed to be ubiquitous, always
pleasant, answer your call first and
never allow the slightest tinge of ang-
er to show In her voice, no matter how
much trouble you are causing her, and
a thousand and one other ridiculous
and petty absurdities that would ruff
fe the temper Of the guardian angle
herself.
In case OF fire central first blows a
fire whistle from the telephone build
ing's window, which arouses the police
who ring the alarm Next the fire
chief and his assistants are called up
and their phone bells rung until they
answer. II it is a business house burn
ing central will now notify the owner
and proprietor Of the establishment.
The insurance men are next informed
so they may reach the scene of the
blaze and form a salvage corps. While
central is attending TO the above du-
ties some five hundred curious SUBJ
scribers r frantically trying to get
her and learn where the fire is, how 1t
started, will it burn long, who discov-
cred it and some other important
questions that should not be delayed a
second.
Not a night passes that central
hasn't a call for the police, and many
times a frightened female voice calls
them up in the "wee sma" hours of
the morn and requests them to ring
her phone long and hard as she thinks
a burgler is attempting to gain en-
trance. Recently a party who had lit
tie faith In telephones lost a valuable
horse and after several days, when he
had spent a small sum of money In
to discover its whereabouts,
spoke Of the matter to Mr.. Montague,
Of the telephone company. Mr.. Mont
ague told him to call that afternoon
and he might assist him In the loca-
ticn OF the lost animal. When the
owner of the horse called later he was
told that the animal had been found,
and through merely systematic in
over the phone system. Need
less to say there was a new number on
the call board that night.
1t is not unusual for men to swear
1t the central girls, and in some cases
women have done such things, The
Hello girls and Others connected with
the business tell many funny exper-
fences and also some sad. Give the
Hello girl time and consider all that
she is supposed to do, and you will
find she is very pleasant, anxious to
