Why He Was Sorry.

TO impress on young children Just
what should and what should not be
done and why is among the most try
ing problems of parents, as evidenced
by the recent experience of West
Philadelphia mother. Last Sunday
she asked her small son aged eight, to
carry chair for her from the dining
room TO the parlor. He started off
willingly, but in the ball he tripped
and fell. Amid the crash could be
heard the boy giving vent to utter
ances that would have done credit to
pirate of ancient days The mother
was taken by surprise and was greatly
shocked. She gave the boy long
and serious talk on the subject of pro
family This apparently did not make
the right impression, for when she
concluded the boy adder To her dis
comtiture by exclaiming 81 am sorry
swore. mamma, but l forgot 1T was

a Cheese 124 Years Old.

y
In the Alpine regions of the Swiss can
tons of Vaud and Nalais according to L.
Industr.e Laitiere, cheese-makers preserve
their products for years. Says this paper,
as distracted in Cosmos:
They assert that the cheeses improve
with age. AT Ormonts, in the canton of
Vaud, occurs the custom of making spec-
ial cheeses for certain family festivals.
These are properly labeled and are rot
eaten until several years later, on the &C.
casion of some othe- festival or even at
a funeral repast. Oxen these cheeses are
bequeathed from generation to generation
as heirlooms. In recent years, at Or
monts, there was found hidden a cheese
dating from 1855. 1t was as hard as a
stone and had to be cut with saw. but
was nevertheless good"

No other medicine for woman's ills

of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.

For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, tibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is

IN FAVOR OF FAT.
The Stout May Read This and Pluck


From the Medical Record
Fat is often unappreciated or nisun-
derstood and unduly blamed for sins
OF delinquencies of other body foods.
FROM 10 to 20 per cent of each healthy
body is composed of fat ana lis cbiaf
sources are the starches and sugars.
though certain fats are directly uti-

is in favor of the view that fats are
completely decomposcd in The intestine

Pipe Gives Cadet Txnhoid

Midshipman Smith, who was strick-
ell with typhoid fever on the Indiana
at Plymouth, England. contracted the
disease, it is said, from smoking a
briar used nearly year ago by his
roommate at Annapolis who had a bad
case of typhoid. This theory is taken
as proof that concentrated nicotine
cannot destroy typhoid germ. The
:nadical department of the navy will
examine into the theory with the re-
suit that midshipmen of the future
Lay confine themselves to their own

"1he Galfers,"

The members of the Cat-town Golf
club We're all in turmoil one Satur-
day afternoon. 1t happened that every
cat wanted to play at the same time,
resulting in many sad mishaps
The players We're so thickly congre-
gated that many well-meant swings
with "brassie" missed the ball and
collided none too gently with another
cats face. Then whang! Whit!
Whiffy!!. in retaliation. would go the
club of the cat who'd received the
afore mentioned "brassie" in some soft
spot on his face. And so the games
continued till the grounds resembled
a battle ground rather than golf links.
Next morning the painful results
were plainly in evidence. Jimmy
Fuzzycat wore a neat draping of crepe
over his right eye: Billy Feeders wan
dered about the pack alleys with a
snoot that resembled section Of raw
hamburger; Tommy Catmouser carried
his right paw in sling and walked
with hop-skip motion To cap the
climax Judge Kittycatkins, an ardent
golfer, was sick abed from placing his
little "tummy" directly in the path Of a
well directed swing. The first thing
the judge asked as he regained con-
seriousness, was: Were any cats killed
when the lightning struck the lonks?"
(Note-The Cat-town golf links are
now for sale: cheap!!!.)

All the pifference

Guent address on cruelty to animals,
