IS EXTREME OF DEs0LATloN
Unfinished Gard Game, With Paste
boards Lying just Whore the
Players Left Them.

Asked what sight represented to his
mind the extreme of desolation, the
renting agent said:
IAN unfinished card game. with the
cards lying just where the players left
them. This morning came across an
interrupted game Of hearts in fur
nished fiat that was vacated suddenly.
The tenants simply packed their
clothes and moved out without word
Of explanation to anybody. and as they
didn't owe me q cent It wasn't my
place to run them down.
"They had been playing on the din
ing room table, and the game was
about half finished. Four hands Of
cards thrown down when the game
was anybody's that knew how to turn
trick worked on the imagination.
Why did they stop playing in such a
hurry? Why didn't they stay to fin
ish the game, or II they couldn't do
that, why didn't they scrape the cards
together and take them along? Inter
esting questions. those, andsTd like to
have them answered"

HAVE NOT ENOUGH TO DO
People Like the Inhabitants Of Pit
calrn Island Really Deserve the
Sympathy Of Others.

While most people are sorry for
those who have too much to do. for
my part reserve my sympathy for
those who have too little to do. They
seem to me to have scarcely fair
chance in the world. Their natures
are not properly taxed and tested,
trained and developed. They are sure
not to grow up to be among those who
are great, wise, good and famous In
the world. Now they are glad that
they are free from the ordinary cares
and activities of life. In the future
they will be sorry. Indeed. It may
help to kill them.

islanders in their lonely Pacific home.

sky. He did this for an hour, while,
the physician watched him. MEDICAL

fellow-creatures. We are open books

You seem. sir" said the physician.

answer. Il should like to spend my
life lying here. picking daisies"
And yet" was the rejoinder. Il

Often people have too little to do in

POINTERS FOR THE MoroRlsr
The Smallest Particles of Foreign
Matter in An Envelope viii
Rum the Inner Tube.

Rum the Inner Tube.
A motorist may find that an inner
tube has been injured and perhaps
ruined from no apparent cause. Up
on examination small holes will be
found in its surface, the only logical
reason for their presence being ap-
parently poor tube material. This,
however, is seldom the cause, says the
Michelin Tire man. The real trouble
lies with the motorist. He has care
lessly fitted the tube allowing small
particles of mud and dirt to enter the
envelope, the air pressure within the
tube and the external pressure having
combined to grind the foreign mat
ter into the tube.
When fitting tire it is not enough
to simply clean the envelope and the
tube. Care should be taken to admit
no mud or sand as they will collect
dirt which may find it's way into the
envelope.
Many subjects on the proper care of
tires and tubes are instructively dis
cussed in two books issued by the
Michelin Tire Company Of Midtown,
New Jersey. Copies will be mailed

and can thoroughly clean house in
p few hours time without the both
er of moving the furniture from the
rooms in which 1t is situated and at
a less cost than where the work is

that the wear on articles cleaned is

SALT ON SIDEWALKS is uN.
HEALTHY

| And now comes an announcement
that the practice of putting salt on
icy sidewalks to melt the ice is not
onlN hard ON the footgear of pedes-
trians, but it Is also unhealthy. A
neishboring county newspaper, after
noting that the practice is prohibit
ed by ordinance in some cities, says:
THE putting down OF salt converts
the snow and ice into a slush that
threatens health and the destruction
of shoe leather, rubber and the
hoofs of horses. A physician of a
nearby town speaking Of this mat
ter says that to sprinkle salt on the
sidewalks over which many pedestri-
ans pass each day was common
way to breed pneumonia and dtphth-
eria germs and it is also the opinion
of physicians, he said, that when the
salt adheres ON ones shoes, and
when they become saturated with
the mineral, the salt acts as a pre-
servative of cold the same as it does
in freezing ice cream Once the salt
has penetrated the soles Of shoes it
is there to stay, and not only will it
cause the wearer of the shoes much
discomfort, but it lessons the life OF
the leather. There are dangerous
walks in town and 1t requires some
thing to make them safe for pedes-
trians, but instead of using salt for
that purpose, a little sand or ashes
will have much better and health
Ter effect. Where the walks have
been treated with salt, it is readily
seen by pedestrians and the wet
snow resulting is traced half a block
