Sex MAN WANTED CHANGE.
More Than Willing to Make Transfer
with Physician.

A Syracuse business man who, be-
sides being extremely active and am
bilious, has much sense of humor,
was taken sick with slight attack OF
pneumonia. His physician, aware that
it would be a task to keep his high
strung patient in bed, sought to I'M
press on him the seriousness of the
ailment and the necessity of absolute
rest; all of which the sick man lis
tened to in a bored manner. Never
theless he consented to obey the doc
tor.
But this enforced inactivity ranked
in him; and each succeeding day
found the patient importuning the
medical man attendant to allow him
to get out to business. Then, dis
gusted, he would lie back to cast i'm
precautions at the memorable physi-
| clan.
| One morning the physician, after
having been up all night on an i'm
portant case, appeared at his patients
| house at the usual hour. He had hard
ly stuck his haggard face inside the
door, however, before the man in the
bed gave him a quick glance and sal
up.
"Eh? calculated the patient. Their
showing out his hand to grasp the doc
tors satchel, he added: doc, CUES:

A Cure for Chiqqers.

The Kansas health board recently
issued a bulletin on the cure and
prevention of chiggers and their
bites. The bulletin proves that cry
sipelas and blood poisoning have fol-
lowed severe attacks of the chiggers.
The chigger is not an insect, but is
known as mite, and in many sec
lions they are called harvest mites, as
that is the time they appear.
The best cure for killing the mites
and relieve the irritation is hypo'
sulphite of soda. This is dissolved in
water until a saturated solution is
obtained, and the solution is applied
to the spot where the chigger entered
the skin. Usually one application is
sufficient, but sometimes two or more
are necessary This solution is not
harmful or disagreeable, except that
there is a smarting when the skin is
sore from scratching. If the solution
is APPLIED to the skin and allowed tc
dry without wiping off it will abso
lutely prevent chiggers entering the
skin for a day or so.

CONSIDERATION,
Husband and Wife.

No man yet was ever made more
tender by having tenderness demanded
of him; no man yet was ever cried
into loving his wife more. I am will
ing to admit that men are as faulty
creatures as women themselves, I'M
sympathetic in small things, often
blind, and that they may easily be ex.
asperated into small brutalities of
speech. If woman refrains from ex.
acting devotion, and is unswervingly
kind and unselfsh, a husband who has
any affection for his wife at all can be
left to look out for doing his share. He
will look out for it anyway; no one
else can make him. Neither tears mol
entreaties will wiring from him those
small kindnesses and attentions sc
dear to women.-A Wife. in Harper'i
Bazaar,

"a young woman came to our city

Legend of Magpie and Robin.


The peasants of France, in accord
ance with a tradition, pierce the head
of maybe with a thorn whenever
they catch one. According to the
French legend, after Jesus had been
nailed to the cross two birds alighted
on the extended arms of the instru-
ment of death. One was q maybe
with beautiful aigrette on its head
and long waving tail, then the hand
soonest Of birds but the wickedest,
chirping insult at the suffering Jesus.
The other bird was a modest little
bird with gray plumage, which ap-
preached the cross timidly, uttering
cries Of grief With it's beak it tried
to pluck away one of the thorns. A
single drop Of the blood fell on the
plying little gray bird and gave the

A girl about to be married worries
so much she begins to look like an
old married woman. In addition to
worrying about her clothes and coax
ing her folks to give her new outfit,
she sits up too late with her young

careworn look a week before the
wedding that cannot be told from the
look on the face of woman who has
been married a year or two. Look al

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infamed condition OF the

tube is nfiamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing and when it is entirely closed, Deal
ness is the result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal eond

out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
