HARDHEADED

A bricklayer once hired a new help
er. This chap was renowned for his
hard head. The bricklayer thought he
would test him, so, the first morning,
while the helper was filling his pipe
at the bottom of the ladder, the brick
layer up on the eighth floor f1icked a
bit of mortar down on his pate.
The helper never noticed it at all.
The bricklayer took a brick and
dropped that down. Bang! 1t land
ed square on the helpers skull.
The helper took his pipe out of his
mouth and seowled up at the brick
layer.
"Say!" he growled, 'be careful
where yer droppin' that there NOR
tar!"-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

WHEN TO EAT

Although in England they eat four
or five meals a day to our three, the
average Englishman seems neither so.
we'll nourished nor energetic as his
American cousin. A square meal can
not be properly eaten and digested in
less than four and a half hours-one
hour for the eating and three and a
half for the digesting. Moreover, the
stomach deserves and requires lit
tie rest between the end of one period
of digestion and the beginning of an
other. Allowing five hours, then, be-
tween meals and beginning the day
with breakfast at about 1880 o'clock, the
fourth meal would have to be sched-
uled for 1920 o'clock and the fifth for
$3.50 o'clock a. M, leaving scarcely four
hours till breakfast again. But the
voracious Britisher does not wait five
hours between meals-nor between
drinks, either-consequently his diges-
tive system Is constantly overworked
and unable to deliver to the tissues the
requisite supply of digested nutrients.
On the other hand, man is not ex-
actly boa constructor (however much
of hog he may sometimes seem) and
cannot comfortably INCEST enough at
two meals day to nourish him suffi-
GENTLY. Accordingly, the three meals
a day of our fathers are what We need.
Intelligent physicians do not approve
of the no breakfast fad, because 1t is
likely to undermine the bodily vigor
by lowering nutrition. But IL there is
anything worse than no breakfast, it is
too much breakfast. The involuntary
functions of the body are not suffi-
GENTLY aroused soon after rising in the
morning to cope with a full meal. Ac-
cordingly, light breakfast is best.
A further argument In favor of the
light breakfast is that most of us have
to work during the forenoon, and that
either mental or muscular activity in
terferes with digestion by drawing
blood away from the digestive organs.
For the same reason a light midday
meal is best for those who have any
thing to do in the afternoon.
But" exclaims the hungry reader,
"when can a man eat?"
The answer is-at evening, when the
toll and turmoil of the day are over.
Evening is the time to remove the
stains of strife, rest up a little and
then sit down to a full, leisurely feed"
But listen to tie voice of authority:
"Wait until late in the afternoon, when
after little rest the chief meal should
be taken-and taken slowly, composed
ly and cheerfully Following this
there should be spent a few hours of
quiet enjoyment before going to bed.
This will seem like an absurdity to
many who insist that the late dinner
Is in itself the sure forerunner of a
bad night. This is usually true only
when the midday meal has been too
hearty"

NEW M EANlNes

Our language undergoes a change,
AS most things do.
And words assume a wider range
With meanings new.
An instance is before you laid;
A man was talking with a maid
He asked the dansel if she'd fly
With him some day.
She asked the man to specify
Or plainly say
Just what he meant; that is, to state
Whether elope or aviate.

ELEEINe IRON DISEASE

Philistines, skeptics and perhaps
pessimists we have "in our midst" no
matter where we foregather. The pes
simists we keep out OF our own shop,
but the philistines and skeptics will
creep in. Witness: We asked our
poet and humorist the other day what
he thought of the theory, newly ad-
vanced, that gnats are the dissem-
inators of that brand of disease called
pellagra, says the Dallas News. -Four
hours afterward he replied, in writing,
as follows: "While we may be bring
ing in busters instead of the foun-
tain of youth unlike Mr.. De Leon,
we're rapidly getting at the source OF
our physical ailments, and going right
after the causes, which is next thing
to 1t. We learned some years ago that
cats carried diphtheria germs, and
we went after the cats. Whenever
we found a misplaced cat we rendered
1t fit for planting and planted 1t.
Then we discovered that rats carried
bubonic plague, and rat-killing be-
came a favorite amusement of the 400,
as well as of those who keep terriers
in a box back of the empty kegs. IL
was only a short time later-or was It
before ?-when we learned that mos
quitoes carried typhoid fever, and we
turned ourselves into mosquito kill
ers. We filled the drinking water
with kerosene and whenever we saw
a deadly mosquito we'd run into the
house and shut the door. Then some
body discovered that all manner or
horrible things were brought by the
fly. We hadn't thought of the fly in
any light other than that of a pest
that fiddled on our noses and was
otherwise annoying, such as by his
swimming in the milk and falling into
the biscuit dough. So behold, we went
after the fly, and the corpses of flies
we left behind us beyond computing.
Now an eminent italian physician ms
discovered that gnats carry and trans
nit pellagra. We must now go forth
and slay the gnat. You can't eaten
him in a steel trap as you might a
panther. You can't poison him or
shoot him. You can't even swat him
with the hand. Some other method OF
his determination must be adopted,
and what 1t is nobody knows. But
we must kill the gnat or have pellagra,
and when we have done with him, we
shall be in line to discover that cnlck-
en- mites produce toothache. To be
sure, it is we'll to kill off all these
nuisances, but to most of US 1t seems
a shame that science couldn't increase
the size of the offender instead Of re-
ducing it, and that it could not be
found just as we'll that giraffes
brought pellagra and elephants spread
the deadly germs of lockjaw." Still
there are few men in this world more
afraid of a mosquito or fly than
he is.

Demands Repeal OF ne. submission
Section OF LIQUOR Law.

The Cecil Star, in common with most
other staunch anti-license advocates in
Cecil county, is demanding the repeal of
quadrennial re-submissiou section of the
law IL regard to the sale of intoxicating
liquors IN this county, and in support of
this demand refers to the triumph of anti
license in 1000 and again in 1906. setting
forth some substantial reasons for the
making Of prohibition a permanent
feature 10 Cecil county The following is
40 extract from the editorial appearing
Id the Star of November IL:
The anti-license law won more friends,
following the victory at the polls in 1907 It
proved its effectiveness, and when put up to
the people again. they gave it much more de-
cisive majority. License never won two coz
secutive victories. The lengthening of the
anti-license period gave prohibition better
opportunity to show its good work. 1t proved
its helpfulness to business, it stimulated new
enterprises, it brought peace and happiness
into homes, it brought about a most decided
effect upon the moral uplift Of the people. and
IL made hundreds of new friends by its practi-
cal benefits. All of which is proved by the re-
suit Of the recent election, when licen-e was
defeated by majority more than four times
larger than the majority Of four years ago.
Anti-license is now the settled policy Of Cecil
County. Three consecutive victories, with
greatly increasing majorities, gives justice to
the demand that the quadrennial re-submis-
sion section of the law be repealed by the next
legislature.
It Is unreasonable to compel the taxpayers
Of this county TO be subjected longer to the
expense OF such an election, to say nothing Of
the expense, the time required, and the work
necessarily imposed upon the friends Of the
law, whose interest is wholly unselfish, in
carrying on the campaigns
with it understood that the prohihitory law
represents the permanently fixed policyo Of the
county, the forlorn hope of its enemies to se-
cure 4 reversal at the polls, which too often
inspires efforts to bring the law into disrepute.
will cease to exist. The law win be unham-
pered in its operations, and being recognized
as settled thing, all good citizens win be
obedient to its mandates. The longer the
principle of prohibition is kept in force, the
more effective it win become. It's educational
influence on the moral sense of the young is of
inestimable value. As it is this class that
should and does get the greatest amount Of
consideration.
Let the re-snbmissions feature be repealed
By the next legislature.

The Stomach Cannot Rest.

It is a mistake to suppose.the stomach
can rest aud thus recuperate and by this
means dyspepsia is cured The digestive
process begins in the mouth and does not
end until the food has reached the in
testines. The salivary glands in the
mouth. the stomach. lower stomach. liver,
spleen, etc, take part in the digestive
process. This process is going on con-
tinously, Think of resting the heart or
the lungs for few minutes, or any other
organ. Pepsin pancreatin, etc. do not
rest the stomach,- they digest the residue
of food weak digestive system cannot
digest and thus relieve the body of irri-
tating acids or gas. Rydale's Stomach
Tablets contain just enough Pepsin, and
Pancreatin to do this They also con.
tain many vegetable tonics and stimulants
