He went and had a few minutes
alone with her because he was shrewd
enough to drop In before s. No one
else came until after that hour had
struck. He was >studiously reserved

To Stop Nose Bleeding in Little
Children.

Nose bleed is not, as q rule, thing
that need cause the slightest anxiety.
Yet in extreme cases, where bleeding
continues even after applying usual
remedies, the services of a physician
should be called. because. by the aid
Of certain appliances he can discover
the exact spot in the nasal passages
where the trouble originates, and can
treat it accordingly.
Naturally, if a person is allowed TO
lose much blood. the effect will be ue-
cidedly weakening.
Frequency of this trouble does not
necessarily indicate a serious condf-
lion. for sometimes il comes from
sensitive membrane that is easily bro
ken. The nose bleeds then as the fin
ger would were il 10 be cut. This, and
adenoids, a growth back of the nose
and throat. are the common causes Of
such trouble with children. IF loss OF
blood comes from the latter growths
they should be removed.
Certainly a physician should be con-
shifted on the matter and, indeed, an
oneration should be performed.
In stout persons. excessive heat, send
ing a. surplus quantity Of blood TO the
head. may frequently cause the nose
to bleed.
II is curious that the instinct of
nersons. when attacked by bleeding
from the nose, seems to be to bend the
head This is entirely wrong, because
II naruits the blood to flow out In
stead of forcing IL into natural chan
nels. When SO afflicted the patient

Laugh;
When you've lost your new umbrella,

Do not fail to cling to gladness,
Give the ha-ha to your sadness.
Throw your head back and emit a
cheerful roar
Laugh, brother, laugh
When the hackman tries to beat you,
Laugh:
When the short-change artists cheat
you,
Laugh:
II a thief should pick your pockets,
Or your feet should, like two rockets,
Leave the earth and cause your head

Do not show the least resentment
Or give up the discontentment,
But look cheerful and emit a merry
sound
