As a remedy for the attacks OF the
house fly and the mosquito the depart
ment of agriculture recommends a mix
ture of oil of cedar, oil of chronicle and
oil of camphor, placed upon a rag and
laid across the face. An exchange speak
ing from experience, says that the smell
of the preventive is worse than the bite Of
the insect, and 1t asserts that there is
really nothing better than the old house,
hold remedy, "Swat 'em." Wherever
the "swat 'em" remedy is successfully
applied a recurrent attack by the same
insect is effectually barred.
What a different world this would be
if only all OF us would cultivate the grace
of good nature! 1t is the best tonic for
nervous disorders, the surost preservative
of home happiness and the most effective
remedy for the divorce disease now I'M
happily prevalent. He who has learned
how to take even the most disagreeable
things and grievous disappointments
good naturally may never be a million
aire, but he will be what is much better,
both happy and a source of happiness,
and the atmosphere he carries with him
will be like a bit of sunshine in the man.

An enthusiastic Baltimore editor
writes: There is no need of telling the
girls how to enjoy the summer time. 1t
is their own season. fla man is so blind
that he cannot see the charms of the sum
mer girl he doesn't deserve a fascinating
wife. He deserves to worry along
through life as a lonely old bachelor and
have his estate absorbed by an asylum
for orphan pups. For she is a vision of
beauty and a dream Of delight. From the
bow in her hair down TO the fetching
slippers that cover her little feet, from
her glowing cheeks to her psrssol, from
her peek-a.b boo waist to her irresistible
name she Is the central figure of the
landscape, the joy of the nation, the catch
of the season-tbe summer girl.
-When people buy an article of food,
whether it is coffee, butter, canned goods,
or anything else, they want the real thing
and not an imitation, and they also want
full weight, says an exchange. 1t was to
secure all this to the public, and In the in
terest of health also, that the pure food
law was passed. Therefore the attempt
now being made by powerful interests to
break down this law so as to be able to
revert to the old system of dishonesty
should be ~strenuously opposed. In this
connection it should not be forgotten that
under that system some OF the mail order
houses reaped a rich harvest and cut into
the trade of the home merchants by send
ing their customers inferior and adulter.
ated goods of short weight, and 1t is rea'
sonsble to expect the same concerns will
be at their old tricks If the pure food Law
is found unconstitutional.
