TRUE MEANING OF ~MoRTIFY"
Would Seem That Users Of the Word
Have Little Conception Of Its
Real Significance.

The strange acquired meanings OF
many words were being discussed the
other night. when one OF the group
said: Il wonder heR 'mortify" has
come TO mean something similar to
humiliate. The word shows on its
face that II was derived from the two
rootwords which mean death and to
make yet except in the sense of gan
creme having set in it has no connec-
ton with death in our modern vo-
cabulary"
The interest generated by the re-
mark caused the word to be looked up
in the dictionary and it was found
originally to have been used in rela-
ton to making dead" the carnal az
fections and bodily appetites or world
ly desires. through religious or other
discipline.
A number of early English writers
were quoted showing a use OF the
word entirely different from ours at
present
Harte writes: with fasting NOR
titled, worn out with tears"
Prior furnishes this: 'Mortify thy
learned lust" and Addison writes,
How often is the ambitious man NOR
titled with the very praises he re-
ceiyes," Evelyn contributes: The
news of the fatal battle of Worcester
exceedingly mortified our expecta-
tons"
The writer's of these sentences
would have found it hard to under
stand the presentday conversational
list who speaks of having been "mor.
titled by the remark some one made"
and would probably have guessed II

USE DEW AS DRINKING WATER
Method of Collecting for Use OF Sol.
diers Of British Garrison at
Gibraltar.

Hitherto dew has been used
as beverage only in poetry,
by the sun, flowers, and but
terfiies. 1t has recently been robbed
of all its poetic character by being
used for the refreshment of English
soldiers.
The English administration at Glib.
raltar, where water is very scarce,
now collects dew by the following
very simple method: A large pit is
dug in the earth and covered with dry
wood or straw, which in turn is COW
cred either with earth or with sheet
iron.
The straw or wood serves as a heat
insulator and effectually prevents the
conduction of heat from the ground
to the layer of earth or the sheet iron
above. Consequently this earth or
iron cools after sunset much more
rapidly than the ground, so that its
temperature soon falls below the dew
point of the surrounding air.
Hence dew is formed upon the iron
or the layer OF earth in very large
quantities. The water thus obtained
is drained off into reservoirs and after

Treatment of Burns.

Small burns are too lightly regard
ed. Though seemingly slight, they
are not properly treated, or If the
blood is in bad condition they may
fairly mar ones beauty. A young girl
dropped some hot fudge Oh the fore
finger of her right hand. 1t did not
pain very much. and after the pre-
liminary scream little attention was
paid to it. The blister that was
raised was allowed to break rather
than be opened carefully with an anti
septic needle; poison got into it. the
finger became infected and eventually
had to be removed below the second
Joint. Exclude air from any burn,
however slight This can be done in
several ways. Ii no other remedy is
at hand common kitchen soap applied
in thick paste helps remove pain.

Carl G.. Fisher, originator OF

to the Chamber of Commerce OF

rock for road between South

dition will furnish enough oil to
spread over the entire distance
OF the roadS
So interested is he in the good
roads movement in this state that
he said he expects in June to try
to raise by subscription Namong
automobile men and other inter
ested therein fund to establish
good road for the entire 15O
miles from Indianapolis to South
Bend.
He says that from indianapolis
to Logansport, distance OF II
miles. the roads are SO good that
an automobile can make the trip
in two and one half hours, while
over the % milss OF road be-
tween Plymouth and South Bend
more than two hours are requir-
ed on account of their poor con
dition. A team OF horses can pull
two tons over the roads between

could pull an empty wagon or
