The Old Fas.:,oncd Woman.

"What caused yOCr sudden blowing in?" asked d veteran ill Shade Land of a woman who just arrived. The wom- an gave sigh that blew over a tomb stone as she replied: Il am an old fashioned woman, and did my work in a kitchen with a six hole range, a big sink, three long tables, two pan tries and a dishpan large enough to wash a turkey in. Two days ago I went to visit my daughter in a big city and found her cooking for her family in a chaf1ng dish, doing her dishes in a washbowl and keeping them stored in the lower part of the washstand. When I saw her get the bread out of a big bowl on the piano called a jardiniere and reach for the butter out of the window I felt cold chill come over me, and when she made soup by opening a tin can and pouring out a mess to which she add ed water from the wash pitcher knew no more.'' Then the old fash toned woman gave such a sniff of dis gust it blew all the shades over into the next county.-Atchison Globe. -

NEW X-RAY APPARATUS
Has Been Installed at HiIlcrest Surgical
 Hospital, PittsfieId, Mass.

Has Been Installed at HiIlcrest Surgical
 Hospital, Pittsfield, Mass.
 A handsome high class X-ray appa- ratus with photographic equipment has recently been installed in the Hill crest Hospital.
 This apparatus is the most up-to. date and most powerful made, and capable of doing the most exacting work. It is the same type as that used in the well known Mayo Hospital at Rochester, Minnesota, an institution that stands for whatever is best in modern surgery. The apparatus at Hillcrest is complete, and is not only powerful but under per, feet control. By means of@various new devices it can be regulated in such a manner as to produce either the most penetrating rays for such things as stones in the kidney, broken hips, etc, or the mildest of rays suitable for treat ment of skin diseases and cancer. The penetrating power of the X-ray may be judged from the fact that they will pierce Plaster of Paris cast or twelve thicknesses of ordinary boards as though they were not there. The X-ray are perfectly harmless as their intensity is measured by instruments or gauges and their exact strength known beyond question. An X-ray picture or radio graph as they are called can be made in a few seconds. This apparatus will add greatly to the efficiency of Hillorest hospital in such cases as the diagnosis and setting of fractures; dislocated and diseased joints; locating foreign bodies, bullets or pins and coins accidentally swallowed by children; stones ln the kidney or bladder, etc. It will also be used to advantage in the treatment tof certain skin diseases like acne or pimples
