PLAN TOISOLATE SNORERS

ever there is a member who has pecu-
liarly strong snoring powers the other
laddies often find it difficult to get
needed rest. Cases have come up
where the offending fremen found
their cots transferred to a rear room.
where they were less likely to dis
turb the peace of the night.
Now the suggestion has been made
to Marshal Seyferlich that one of two
things should be done. The snorers
should all be made members of the
same company where they could have
at night, or provision should be made
at the firehouses for separate quar-
tiers for snorers, so that the other
members can have peace. The de-
velopment of the snoring habit with
some of the firemen Is responsible for
the latest propositions and also for
bringing out the fact that 1t is not
considered a trivial subject Of com.
plant, though there is nothing per-
sonal in the matter. AS a rule firemen
who snore are among the bravest,
hardest workers and most popular
members of the department.
At one engine house string is tied
to the foot of loud snorer and the
other firemen keep Jerking it during
the night to prevent the man going to
sleep before they do. At still another
house the champion snorer is forced
to sleep near the pole hole, so that
the man on watch in the station be-
low can prod him during the night to
prevent him from awakening the
other members of the company.
In the fire department snoring is not
considered physical defect, for many
of the men who show the most agility
at fires are snorers who can easily
scale buildings.

Professors of Economy Differ in
Their Opinions.
Prof. Thomas Nixon Carter, Head OF
Economics at Harvard, Discovers
That $50 Is Fair Estimate
on Average Person.

Cambridge, Mass.-The California
state board of health recently fixed
the value of a baby at $4,000, a sum
considered far too low by Prof. Edwin
R. A. Seligman of Columbia univers-
ity, who declares that baby less
than a year old represents an eco
nomic value of at least $150,000. Now
comes Prof Thomas Nixon Carver,
who is at the head Of the chair of
economics at Harvard, who using a
hypothetical case discovers that $40
is fair value for the average person.
and that cit would be losing invest
ment to buy a baby at that price"
How much is a baby worth?" asks
Professor Carver.
"Of course, the first thing to be de-
cided in the discussion of this kind
he says, 'is what is meant by the
value of baby. To its own parents
after they have got used to it baby
is an exceedingly precious thing, but
their estimate is not necessarily the
same as that of their neighbors, or
that of society in general. For ex-
ample, certain man is reported to
have said that he regarded each OF
his children as worth S100,000,000, but
that he would not give cents for an
other one Therefore, we must ex'
clude from consideration the value OF
existing babies to their parents.
lone way of finding the real eco
nonic value Of a man is to find out
how much the community would lose
if he were to die or to emigrate. The
community would lose the value OF
his labor, but it would save what he
consumed. In case he was consuming
more than he was producing by his
own individual labor the community
would gain by his death. In other
words, such man is worth less than
nothing.
"This brings out the fatal defect In
a great deal of the reasoning regard
ing the economic value of the man
viz: The failure to take account OF
the cost of keeping him. The man

"ECZEMA ITCHED so
COULDN'T STAND IT."

"I suffered with eczema on my neck
for about six months, beginning by
little pimples breaking out. / kept

nights any more. 1t kept itching for
about a month, then l went to a doc
tor and got some liquid to take. It
seemed as if l was going to get bet

three days, but when 1t started again
was even worse than before. The &C.

had been using Cuticura Soap, so
got me box of Cuticura Ointment,
and washed off the affected part with
Cuticura Soap three times day, and
then put the Cuticura Ointment on.
The first day l put it on, it relieved
me of itching so l could sleep all that
night. 1t took about week, then l
could see the scab come off. 1 kept
the treatment up for three weeks, and
my eczema was cured.
my brother got his face burned
with gunpowder, and he used Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointmert. The peo-
pie all thought he would have scars,
but you can't see that ne ever had
his face burned. 1t was simply awful
to look at before the Cuticura Rem
edies (Soap and Ointment) cured it. .

KEY TO EGYPTIAN HISTORIES

cipher it in vain, but Professor Sayce
writes that ne has just obtained some
Egyptian translations of Merotic
words. Thus, owing to this discovery,
the unknown Merotic script may be
read by Egyptian hieroglyphists for
the first time, just as the key to the
latter was obtained from the demotic
and Greek translations on the Rosetta
stone.
Professor Sayce has also discovered
the names of some new kings. Some
Of them call themselves kings of
Egypt, and as they belong to the OBJ
scure period of the twenty-seventh
dynasty, the inscriptions are expect
ed to throw some light on Egyptian
history.

Willing to Make an Effort.

On a large estate in the Scottish
highlands it was the custom for a
piper to play in front Of the house
every week day morning to awaken
the residents. After an overconviv-
ial Saturday night, however, the piper
forgot the day and began his reveille
(can it be played on the pipes?) on
Sunday morning. The angry master

PORK AND BEANS ARE BEST

pork and beans excel cod liver oil as

sumption.'

Avoid the Cheap and "5lg Can" Bak-
ina Powders.

The cheap baking powders have but one
recommendation: they certainly give the
purchaser plenty of powder for his money
but it's not all baking powder; the bulk
is made up of cheap materials that have
no leavening power. These powders are
so carelessly made from inferior mate
rails that they will not make light, whole
some food. Further, these cheap baking
powders have a very small percentage of
ieavening gas; therefore it takes from two
to three times as much of such powder to
raise the cake or biscuit as it does of Calu-
met Baking Powder. Therefore, in the long
run, the actual cost to the consumer of the
cheap powders is more than Calumet
would be.
WHY not buy a perfectly wholesome bak-
ing powder like Calumet, that is at the
same time moderate in price and one
which can be relied upon? Calumet gives
the cook the least trouble.
