Your
Washing

needs the same attention as that
of king. The work of the laun-
dress has so changed that the
beau Of a generation ago would
not recognize the product of the
modern laundry of today. Then
the only place to get domestic,
finish to a gentleman's washing
was in the establishment of the
lady from the "ould sod'' or In q
Troy laundry. With the better
dressed men on the mainland
glossy collars have been an abom-
ination always. but men were
forced by circumstances to wear
them or buy new ones without the
polish. Our machinery does the
work without tearing the mate
rails, without distorting the shape
of the collar or shirt, and with.
out the offensive polish.
May we have your washing?

We hear much Of the reduction In
the death rate Of large cities In recent
years, but very little about the i'm.
provement Of the health OF small
towns It Is well known. says the In.
dependent. that all the infectious dis.
eases claim many less victims in city
life than they did rs years ago, and
the reason for It is not far to seek.
Cities established departments Of
health, gave to them ample powers,
and then insisted on their being sf.
fective II their appropriations were to
be continued. The consequence has
been that not only has much suffer-
Ing been spared. but thousands-nay,
even hundreds of thousands-of peo-
pie are now alive who, In the words Of
one prominent sanitarian, have no
business being alive-they would have
been dead II the death rate that pre-.
vailed 20 years ago still obtained.
Had they died their death would have
been considered as from the hand of
God. We know that their living Is
the result of the taking Of some very
simple measures for the prevention Of
disease.

A human Brick.

When Herman Unger, a commercial
traveller down Boston way, concluded
to depart this life he desired some
disposition Of his body which would
preclude resurrection. Accordingly he
decreed that his corpse be cremated
and that the ashes be mixed with suf.
ncient cement to form q solid rock.
Upon his demise recently his rels-
tves carried out his wishes. Mixing
nve parts cement with one part ashes,
they did the good Herman into q
brick. Pressed into the face thereof
are these words: Herman Unrer.
Leave me in peace" But We believe
that such Q brick as Herman cannot,
and should not be left In peace to es-
cape resurrection. says the St Louis
Republic. Herman should at nicely
into the golden and jasper streets Of
the happy future. II the road to hell
10 paved with good intentions, why
not pave the road to heaven with
cynical purpose! Why not prove that
no poor mortal, however he seeks to
escape happiness. can fail to come
into Il at last-be he no more than q
beatined brick IN the pavement Of the
City!
