 The light between tho passSn kers
 in the vicinity of Morningside and
 the trolley company is now a tic. A l victory is to the credit of either side
 But 1t appears as though the nnal
 battle will not take place until next winter although . battlefield may be
 found before that time and the issue
 decided.
 | The As You Like It Man is not
 particularly fond of seeing a woman
 bring her baby to places of amuse-
 ment in the afternoon. but 1t IS far
 better than taking child to some
 performance in the evening. On a
 couple of occasions during the past
 week. the As You Like It Man saw
 mothers with their babes in their
 arms at an amusement hall and during the performance the little tots annoyed almost the entire au-
 dience with their cries.

 That some children apparently, as soon as they are able to so to school and have the time to themselves af- ter the session. have 8 tendency to do anything but the right thing is evident from the actions of some of the urchins who are ever on the alert to steal. During the week story came to the ears of the As You Like It Man telling of how a couple of young fellows pick ed the purses of a couple of school teachers in very brazen manner a few aays ago. The boys happened to notice the teachers in question lay their pocketbooks out of their hands for few moments and im- medfatOly set to work to get what ever money was in the purses. They succeeded in getting to the purses without attracting the attention of the school marms and 1t took only a moment to snatch the loose change from the pocketbooks. One of the instructors was relieved of S7 cents and the other 35 cents, you know It is said that school teachers as a rule do not carry many bills. but the money undoubtedly seemed big to the youthful culprits who stole it.
 Hot water. if used along with com. mon sense, might save many a doc. tors bill. and many a course of drug treatment as well. For bruises, sprains. and similar accidental hurts,
 It should be applied as hot as can he laid on the wounded part. or by iu,- mersion. if convenient. and the treat ment kept up till relief is obtnipcd. For pains resulting from indigestion, cupful of hot water taken in sips will often relieve at once. A flannel folded in several thicknesses. wruny out of the hot water and laid over the seat of the pain and renewed every ten minutes or oftener will aid the relief fin severe cases. For insomnia when ''too tired to sleep as we some times say-bathe the neck and tenn ples, the back of the neck particular ly. This seems to relax the muscles and veins that supply the brain. The same treatment will refresh during the day. and a headache may often be relieved by 1t.
