DANCER Will Still Be Rraved.

A medical journal in issuing a warn,
ing against kissing tells of young
man who was inoculated with seri
Gus illness by friendly kiss from a
young woman. He, in turn. kissed hi.
fiancee, the journal in question neg
lecting to state whether she knew OF
the prior kiss. The fiancee kissed her
girl friends. they kissed their sweet
hearts and everybody got sick. In All
other case a tuberculous young woman
kissed her sweetheart, and both dice
within the year. But in spite of these
awful warnings and advice about
either nonOsculation or antiseptic
OSCILLATION. kissing in the good old
fashioned way will continue popular.

Bloom on the Eco.

l took them from the basket. a white
bloom. like the down of a peach, came
of my hands"
Her husband. a food expert. gave q
sneering laugh.
In that case" he said. Il will fore
60 my usual morning omelette. That
bloom. as you so POLITICALLY call IT, is
lime dust. 1t shows that the eggs are
picked. Lime dust, which rubs OF
like flour, is the surest test We have
for picked eggs-a not unWholesOme
article, but not to be compared with

TO SEND BACK SHIPS SOUNDS
Experiments with New Safety Device
for Fogey Weather.

The United States government is ex.
perimenting in San Francisco bay
with safety device for foggy weather
which is remarkable in the uniQueness
Of its idea. 1t is nothing less than q
fog buoy which will make no noise Of
its own. but which will be expected to
catch the sound waves Of q vessels
whistle and echo them back across tho
water.
The buoy. or structure. Is construct.
ed of corrugated iron sheeting. placed
on piles. and built in three wings
placed at different angles. Each wing
Is 80 feet square.
The idea was given birth accidental
". There has always been much
trouble in the upper part of San Fran
cisco bay because the shore lights
cannot be seen when the weather is
bad. Pilots and shippers began to no
tice, however, how clearly the CORFU
gated steel warehouses around Benicia
returned the sound of their whistles.
and for some time have been guiding
their way along by the echoes. The
government is confident that the new
buOys will act in the same manner.

ILL., OMEN OF sPiLLlNc SALT.
Superstition Has Como Down to Us
from the Ancient Romans.

Girls and boys have all heard. per
haps. that 1t is ''unlucky" to spill salt.
but that the evil effects may probably
ne averted by throwing some of 1t
over your right shoulder. 1t is won
derful how old some of these super.
stitiOns are! This one about the salt,
for example, came to US from the
ancient Romans. Salt was regarded
by them as an emblem of publication.
and they always placed some on the
head of victim in sacrifice. If the
salt were spilled in doing this, it was
looked upon as a bad omen.
1t is said that the Romans got the
custom from the Jews. and after
while the spilling of salt on any Occa-
sion was regarded as unlucky. The
custom of throwing q part of it over
the right shoulder arose from their
belief that anything pertaining to the
right side was lucky, but to the left
side, unlucky.

THEY INJURE CHILDREN.
Ordinary Carthartics and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distress
ing Complaints.

ing Complaints.
You cannot be over.careful in the
selection of medicine for children. Only
the very gentlest bowel medicine should
ever be given. Ordinary pills, cathartics
and purgstives are too apt to do more
harm than good. They cause gripping,
nausea and other distressing after effects
that are frequently health destroying and
q life lasting annoyance.
We personally recommend and guar
antee Rexsll Orderlies a. the safest and
m1st dependable remedy for constipa-
ton and associate bowel disorders. We
have such absolute faith in the supreme
virtues of this remedy that We sell it on
our guarantee of money back in ev, ~
instance where it fails to give entire sat
isfaction. aud We urge all in need Of
such medicine to try it at our risk.
Rexsll Orderlies contain an entirely
new Ingredient which is odorless, taste
lass and coIorless. 1t embrases all the
best qualities of the soothing, laxative,
strengthening and healing remedial
active principles of the best known in
t.stlnsi regulator tonice.
Rexall Orderlies are extremely pleas
ant to take, are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action. may be taken at any
time, day or night; do not cause diarrh-
oea, nausea. gripping, excessive lOoseness,
or other undesirable effects. They have
q very natural action upon the glands
and organs with which they come in
contact. act as positive and regulative
tonic upon the relax. dry muscular coat
of the bowel, remove irritation. drynees
and soreness, overcome weakness, and
tone and strengthen the nerves and
muscles, and restore the bowels and
organs to more vigorous and
activity.
Rexall Orderlies not only cure consti-
patton, but they remove the cause of
this ailment. They also overcome the
necessity of constantly taking laxstives
to keep the bowels in normal condition.
There is really no similar medicine SO
good as Rexall Orderlies. especially for
children, aged and delicae persons.
They are prepared in tablet form and in
two sizes of packages; II tablets. 1Oc,

Rats Cold Weather Retreat.

Many animals snuggle together for
warmth in bitter weather-as the
squirrels and the rats. Those who go
rafting in hedges and dells in the win
ter know they may try dozen fresh
ly-used burrows without finding rat
suddenly from a single hole
the rats will come pouring out in a
stream of frenzied fur. Twenty or
more rats will be together in one
hole
They are clever enough to block up
a hole on the windward side-to keeL
out the draught-so that when rat
hole is noted, newly stopped with soil
turnip leaves or grass. here is almost
certain indication that rats are with
in. Like the squirrels they store food
Tor winter-and the keeper may find
it more difficult to secure his potatoes
from frost than from the attack Of
the most numerous of his furred foes.

Real Love as a Boon.

Love temporarily obscures the glass
of vanity. To be accurate. it takes the
quicksilver off the back and turns It
into window pane through which we
are able to see far beyond the per.

dedicated exclusively. Therefore. any
