AS day by day it is proved to us that
bacteria make the larger proportion of
the air we breathe, the water we drink
and the world Ia general. one Is dis
posed to instant revolt; no seIf-respect-
ing human being is willing to own him
self at the mercy of those invisible
foes. Modern science has it's drawbacks
and is responsible for the wholesale
fear in which many people spend their
days. Caution, however is another mat
ter and belongs to all who own common
sense. and it Is specially required in
dealing with modern dirt, which Is in
many cases synonymous with bacteria at
their worst. The human animal is, un-
luckily. an extremely dirty one, and the
fruit which has passed thru the hands
of the great unwashed may better never
be eaten without cleansing. Street dust
itself holds foul forms of dirt and when
to this is added the handling of scores
of people, it is plain that these surface
unwashed are not for any rational hu-
man stomach. Even Strawberries can
not be exempt, but they must never
soak; only let water run over them, a
wire basket being the best method of
securing its immediate passing off
Grapes require the same treatment; but
in either case only enough should be
done at once for a meal.

The word doyley, now a familiar
one with ladies. Is derived from the
name of Robert D'Oyley, one of the fol-
lowers of William the Norman. He re-
ceived a grant of valuable lands on the
condition of the yearly tender of a
tablecloth of three snillings' value at
the feast of st. Michael. Agreeably to
the fashion of. the times, the ladies of
the D'Oyley family were accustomed to
embroider and ornament the quit-rent
tablecloths; hence, these cloths becom-
ing curiosities. and accommodating in the
course of years, were at length brought
into use as napkins at the royal table,
and called doyleys.

Never wear cotton or linen under

Habitually eating soft foods, to the
exclusion of everything that is hard or
crusty, will not only weaken the diges-

in the mastication of harder foods, they
become weak, just as any muscle will

The prospects for the construction

of the tri-city commercial bodies,
which have taken the matter up, at
the Davenport Commercial club yes

were present reported that $4,000 of
the 100000 required has been raised
in Aledo, and measures looking to-
ward the raising of the additional $780,
600 were discussed. The members of
the committee express themselves as
satisfied that Aledo will be connected
with the tri-cities by the interurban
line.
