SOME MARRIED MEDITATIONS.
By Clarence L. Cullen.
o%NNNNN-%NN@


The average fat woman would rath-
er have you call her murderess than
to say that she waddles.
Money makes the mare CO." but
what member of the mares family goes
out and gets the money?
The woman who essays to hold her
husband by short-strapped halter
needs first to be pretty sure of her hal
ter's material.
The so-termed Intuition" of women
doesn't prevent lot of them from
picking out mere four-flushing grand.
stand players as spouses.
A man is just as proud of his wife
when she goes out with him in an en-
tirely new and nifty set of scenery as
she is in wearing the things.
Why is it that some married women
sniff contemptuously when they read
about a man who has killed himself
because his wife has refused to re-
turn to him?
Ever notice how, after you've once
told a woman that she has a roseate
mouth, she keeps biting her lips and
twiddling them with her fingers all
the time to keep 'em red?
When woman looks mad, when she
hears that song, II Love My Wife, but
Oh, You Kid!" it's fairly safe to con-
clude that everything isn't exactly as
It should be up at her house.
Did you ever suffer certain whim.

ance dues when the time comes round?
You may know that a woman has
developed elephantiasis of the skypiece
over the imaginary beauties of her
"figger" when she wears pair of these
tight.laced tube corsets underneath her
bathing suit.
A new thought woman of our &C.

parently, though, she never wants to.
for he always comes home just about

Little Soldiers

In your blood are the millions
OF corPuscles that defend you

TO make and keep these little soldiers
healthy and strong, is simply to make
and quantity.
This is Just what Hoods Sarsaparilla
does-it helps the little soldiers in YOUR
blood to fight disease for you.

catarrh, rheumatism, anemia, nervous,

that West Indian hurricane-which,
by the way, is the most dangerous gen.
eral storm we ever have-sweeping the
Atlantic Coast without warning would

cane season opens, where they remain
until all danger is over. They report

while we are on the subject" Pro
fessor Moore continued, Il would like
to say, in order to clear up the confu-
sion Of the public mind which leads to
an absurd mixing of terms, that a cy-
clone has an area of 1000 miles, a
hurricane an area from 100 to 300
miles and tornado, which invariably
OCCURS. in the southeast quarter of a
cyclone and is an incident of the cy-
clone, an area of from 1000 feet to
1000 yards. The velocity of the wind
during a cyclone is from fifteen to
twenty-five miles an hour, during a
hurricane ii varies from fifty to 100
miles an hour, while it Is SO
great during tornado that no in
strument can measure it. In all three
kinds of storms the wind, of course,
is rotary, or twisting, as 1t is com
monty described.
But the weather bureau" Professor
Moore went on to say, 'is not alone CT
value to people in the matter of wind
storms, but is of tremendous service in
foretelling periods of flood. Twice we
forecast the height of the Mississippi
River at New Demonstrating the
flood five days in one instance and a
week in the other. On both occasions
our mathematics covered a tremendous
area Of the United States"

"Is your bureau of any practical ser
vice to farmers?"
by means of the system of rural
free delivery of mail our forecasts go
each day into the homes of 100000
farmers. AS many more farmers get
our forecasts by telephone. AS a mat.
ter Of fact, thousands of farmers put
telephones into their homes for no
other reason than to be informed about
the weather-our forecasts, you un.
derstand, being for the day on which
they are made and practically for the
day following. We have been of great
service to the cranberry growers OF
Wisconsin, the cane growers of Louis
lana and the orange growers of Flori-
da in giving warnings against frost
Cranberry marshes are flooded, cane
is quickly cut and piled in windroWs
and smudges are started In orange
groves as effective measures of pro.
lection. Let me add" Professor Moore
went on to say that the train dis
patchers of all the railroads in the
country get our morning and evening
forecasts, and thus are enabled to
know about the coming cold waves in
winter and each year to save millions
of dollars worth of perishable mer
chandise such as fruits, vegetables
certain kinds of chemicals and other
manufactures"
