Jes' plain July-the waitin' time.

Beneath the weed that faunts SO gay;

Center Of Population.
From the Indianapolis Star.

The center Of population under the new
census will not, 1t is thought, be moved
far from the present center. This is not
because the population of the United
States has not greatly increased, but be-
cause the bulk of the increase is not, as
usual, in the west. There has been a
great addition to the. number Of inhab-
itants in the southwest, especially in
Texas. but on the other hand q large
percentage of the immigrants who arrived
during the last few years scattered them
selves over the eastern states. Rhode
Islands increase, for example. Is IL per
cent. In every direction there Is still
room for more.

PLUMBING

Sewer gas Is the cause of much sick
ness, and bad plumbing is generally re-
sponsible for the gas. II ie a common
belief that sewer gas must necessarily
come from the sewer, but as matter
of fact 1t is as often generated in the
house pipes as beyond them. lnasmuen
as the most dangerous OF these gases
are inodorous, the presence Is not sus-
pected until some member of the family
becomes i'll, and then an examination
into the sanitary conditions OF the
house reveals the cause.
Not only should precautions be taken
to prevent the entrance of gas from the
sewer but care must also be exercised
10 see that conditions are such as VIII
preclude the possibility of its formation
or retention in the house pipes. Even
when plumbing has been properly done
there Is opportunity, unless strict clean
liness Is observed, for the accumula-
ton Of poisonous gases in the discharge
pipes of sinks. lavatories and closets.
The foundation Of these gases is
slime which forms on the interior OF
mines. This condition can be averted
hv flushing at regular intervals two or
three times a week-with hot water to
which has been added a small quantity
of kerosene, ammonia or crude carpohc
acid.
IL. after having taken ordinary pre-
cautions, there exists any reason Tor
believing that sewer gas finds its way
into the house, an intelligent plumber
should be called to continue the inVest-
eation.-Beautiful Homes.

GIVING CHILDREN MEDICINE

The modern pharmacist, by his many
delectable preparations, has robbed the
prescription Of drugs to children of half
its difficulty, but a very short expe-
rience OF young patients will be suf-
ficiept to show that many methods Of
administering drugs to adult patients
are not readily tolerated by the young.
Solid preparations (e. g., pills) that re-
quire to be swallowed whole, should be
avoided; cachets and capsules are liked
but little better. Mixtures probably
neeti less per stisisioIi foI tifoiif reception
than any other preparation, but the
volume of each dose should be kept as
small as possible. Syrups are readily
taken. though they have the disadvanl-
age that in hot weather they may turn
sour: glycerin or saccharin in place of
sugar may do away with this diff
Guilty.
Powders form a very convenient
preparation, provided their bulk is kept
small. An objection to their use is
that some tend to cling about the
mouth, thus prolonging any unpleas-
antness of flavor and increasing the
risk of vomiting. Compound licorice
powder, for instance. is apt to adhere
objectionably to the palate. but this
can be obviated by throwing the pow
der on to the surface of wineglass-
full of water a quarter of an hour be-
fore bedtime. At first it floats upon
the surface, but gradually sinks TO the
bottom, and becoming well moistened,
is free from all lumpiness. II milk is
used instead of water, a somewhat
longer time must be allowed for the
powder to settle. The use of jam Is, of
course; we'll known, but 1t is open
to question whether wholesome articles
of food should be associated i'm the
child's mind with unpleasant expert
ences. Another successful vehicle, es-
pecially with infants, is butter; a small
lump of this enveloping, for example,
some calomel and placed at the back
of the mouth soon melts and Is swal-
lowed without trouble.-Medical Brief

There is no place where come and

Get the old hens on the market before
the moult at what might be called a
bargain, and let the customer, the new
breeder, carry them over, getting them
accustomed to the new quarters and
giving you the much needed room for

Some of the best breeders say they
prefer this way of doing business above
all others and get better returns from
their ads in July and August than any
other month largely, no doubt, because
so many foolishly draw out at that
time and they pick the plum.
Keep up the fire right along steady

be commensurate with the amount of
ammunition expended-Pacific Poultry

HOME QUARANTINE

When the doctor orders a quarantine,
says Jane Adams Parker in Every
body's Housekeeping the first ques-
tion that arises is, What room shall the
patient occupy? In case of diphtheria,
where the quarantine in all probability
will not last long, any we'll ventilated
room that can be shut off from the rest
OF the house will do. But in the longer
quarantine, such as scarlet fever, for
instance, great care should be exercised
in choosing the room. 1.-THE best room
in the house is not too good for the sick
one in the family" says an eminent
physician in Chicago. "If the best and
iightest one Is the parlor then put the
sick person in that room. The other
members of the family for the time be-
ing can content themselves with the
rest of the house; but give the patient
the best"
The room should have If possible
southern exposure, where the bed can
be rolled into the sunshine for part of
the day at least. The room should be
one that can be shut off from the rest
of the house, so that the doctor can go
out and I'M without injecting the other
rooms. A parlor may be used for an In
valid chamber, and the front end of the
hall curtained off like an alcove. This Is
a good idea where the parlor opens onto
the hail. as it affords an excellent place
for the attendant to don the necessary
wraps for going into and out OF the IN
fected room. The curtains should or
course be tackled all the way up to the
ceiling, using a thin molding strip to
tack through, so as not to damage the
walls. Another sheet hung at the door
of the sick chamber kept wet with dis
infectants prevents the germs from get
ting into the alcove.

SAFEGUARD TO HEALTH

One of the most needful and most
important safeguards to health is the
recent invention of the erm-proor
telephone mouthpiece This device,
made of clear crystal glass, is In
tended to replace the filthy rubber
mouthpeces in common use, which
furnish all sorts of germs an ideal
breeding place. 1t has received the
enthusiastic Endorsement of doctors,
bacteriologists and boards of health
wherever introduced and is approved
by all operating telephone companies.
The glass part can be instantly re-
moved for cleaning and can be re-
placed as instantly 1t can be wiped
clean without removal. 1t Is less liable
to breakage than the ordinary rubber
mouthpiece and admits light to all the
parts of the device, thus securing an
extra good sanitary condition. The
germ proof glass telephone mouthpiece
is sold by the Woodill-Hulse Electric
company of Third and Main streets.

CARE or THE FEET

II your feet burn, battle them with
alcohol, which is cooling to the flesh
and stimulating to the muscles. When
they ache; soak them in hot water and
vinegar for five or ten minutes. then
snrinkle them with talcum powder and
massage them gently. If your feet per-
spire too freely, battle them daily with
water to which a little orris powder
has been added. Some persons use, as
a remedy for this trouble. a preparation
made of four ounces of bay rum ana
eight grains of tannic acid. Add few
drops to the water in which the feet
are bathed. When calluses are formed
on the feet rub the callus off with toilet
pumice stone and then rub the spot
with cold cream.

AN EVER READY NIGHT LIGHT

An intelligent woman tells Of a most
convenient night light made from
bottle about six inches high ana one
inch IN diameter. The high school boy
who designed 1t said that he had made
II by filling the bottle two-thirds fun OF
pure olive oil that had been well heated
about fifteen minutes, then dropping
into it a piece of phosphorus about the
size of a bean and corking securely
This gave a good light about four
months, and whenever 1t would grow
dim it only needed to open the bottle
little to let oxygen in and 1t would I'M
mediatelv grow bright again. Care must
be used in handling the phosphorus. as
it is poisonous and will burn the hands
If handled.

WHEN MY LADY PLAYS GOLF

Played in moderation at the start
and until she is accustomed to the ex-
ertion, and clothed in commonsense
costume from head to foot, golf forms
an ideal and healthful recreation for
women. 1t can be played just as vio-
lently or as easily as desired; but the
player who can be made to realize
at the start that accurate hitting is
more to be desired than hard hitting
will make the fastest progress. To
see a slip of q girl drive the ball from
160 to upward of 200 yards without
apparent undue exertion, when strong
men fail to drive it nearly so far,
though putting forth great muscular
effort with the notion that therein lies
the secret of long driving. is convinc-
ing proof that accurate and effective
hitting is something any woman can
acquire.-Suburban Life.
