 Though 1t has been tried in this city before, the fad this spring has become very popular and almost every young lady you meet is taking the orange cure. The cure consists iii taking the juice of two oranges three times day, before meals or after just as you wish. The juice is said to go well either as an appetizer or chaser. Oranges are said to be very healthful in the spring and give the person who adheres to the regimen a beautiful complexion, better even than that which is supposed to be obtained by eating one raw carrot daily. It certainly looks to be a more desirable remedy. Grocers be- gan to worry little when they mo- ticed the falling off in the sale of carrots. but when they realized that oranges were selling so we'll, they be- gan to chuckle. It costs money to take the orange cure properly, but just think of the effect on the face.
 Considering the lopg hours, espe- cially on the nights|that stores are opened, the As You Like It man often tried to figure out why girls some of more than average intelli- gence, should care to work in stores. They certainly have to have large amount of patience and some of the questions which they are compelled to answerlare enough to cause any one to put on the stare of the ice and snow. At times an interpreter would be gladly welcomed when a customer who has not as yet mas tered the difficulties of the English language walks into a dry goods store to make a purchase, as one did during the past week. Read what she asked for: For shoke I want three ducks init wait a little while and three ducks was her first re- mark to the clerk The saleslady looked as though she were lost and asked the woman to repeat the ques- ton. The floor walker was called nto the conference and after. hearing he question he was about to inform he woman that it was not a poultry store, when one of the clerks who lad heard part of the conversation md who knew what was wanted stepped over. It took the girl yho understood things only few minutes to get on to what the GUS omer wanted. She was after ma erial for a yoke, three tucks, a pace and three tucks.'
 Though almost everyone who mokes to any degree realizes that it 5 dangerous and very unhealthful ractice to light cigar or pipe after has once gone out, yet it is sur rising the number that give very title attention to the matter. \ moker should throw away a cigar | hat has gone out not only for the | enefit Of those around him, as the | roma of a dead cigar Is anythin" ut sweet, but moreover for his own ersonal benefit. It is most un- es!rable habit to form and applies ) the man who takes comfort from le pipe as well as the one that puffs way on the ''seegar." The As You ike It man out of curiosity made it
 point during the past week to mo- ce to what extent the practice was lrried out and wondered at the umber of smokefs who were guilty ! the act. Smokers should also i, 'alize that it is harmful, some might " greedy also, to smoke a cigar )wn to the butt. Whatever poison
 in a cigar is drawn towards the lit while a person is smoking, con- quently the cigar should not be ragged on after the butt is reach- |. Though inveterate smokers have smoke in their mouth all day, nev- theless four cigars should be the nit for man who wishes to feel
 good health. Though smokers i've been repeatedly warned that 1t
 unadvisable to smoke on an empty omach, yet very few take the tip i'd when the cigars leave their ef- ct, the smokers wonder how 1t hap 1, med. The theatergoers of Waterbury !, we still the reputation of being the ; ldest of the state and managers de- ire that unless something very fine .

It might be true to an ex- nt and the As You Like It man has '. my times witnessed performances i, lere the audience failed to bestow = e proper amount of plaudits upon . e artists.

Is only natural that after an actor
 actress is greeted royalty on her
