Not very long ago a little girl went

that she might be allowed to play her
part In THE Littlest Rebel" Owing TO
her youthfuiness the society for the
Prevention OF Cruelty to Children had
said No Mayor Gaynor said Yes
grsciously. Approaching his kindness the
child wrote him this letter.
Dear Mr. Gaynor: ! thank YOU so
much for allowing me to work in my
part in The Littest Rebel II has made
me so happy. and / wish you would come
down to the Colonial theater TO see me
play it, 1 am sending a pass from the
Manager Mr. Percy Williams

The incident apparently was closed but
few days later The Littlest Rebel
received a real communication from the
City's chief executive, as follows.
My Dear Little Friend; should be
most glad to go and see you play, but
you know / have so many things to do
that / cannot 60 everywhere. | am glad
that you are as happy as you say. Every
body ought to be happy. IT does no good
to be any other way When anything dis

Although she had failed to get seat
and was wavering unsteadily as the sub
way train rounded the curves. she didn't
take her hands from her big pillow muff
TO seize a strap. Then she got her back
q gainst a side door upright and steadied
herself, but sun the hands stayed in the
muff.
A look OF pain came over her face, her
hands moved violently in the muff, and
It didn't take an expert lip reader to see
that she was saying things under her
breath that would be startling II uttered
aloud.
At last the pain became unbearable. She
jerked her right hand with two fingers
bleeding from the muff and gave a tiny
dogs head that followed slap that made
him howl. Just then the train stopped and
she darted through the door.

An unusually peculiar damage suit has
just been decided in New York by which
the widow Of a fire chief has been awarded
$4,000 for the loss Of his life in a furni-
ture establishment fire. The chief fell
through an open we'll hole in the building
into a cellar half filled with water and was
drowned before he could be rescued. The
open well hole was in violation of city
ordinance. This suit, with It's large dam
ages, will help to emphasize the highly i'm
portant fact that such ordinances are in
tended to prevent just such accidents, and
that disregard Of them leads TO criminal
and civic liability when a life is lost. There
are many ordinances Of the kind held
lightly in regard until fatal accident
shocks the authorities into enforcement.
Fighting microbes has reached its high
est development in this shop" said a dress
maker, quoted by the Sun, The principle
Of determination was recommended by a
customer She is a rampant foe to germs
and she nearly had a fit when she saw
girl moisten the end Of her thread in
her mouth.
DO you allow that? she gasped.
Il said, why, yes What harm Is there
in it,?
1T is extremely dangerous she said.
I cannot allow my clothes to be made
under such unsanitary conditions
Then she recommended that on the table
beside each girls sewing outfit we place
a small glass bowl, containing sponge
soaked in some antiseptic solution and
make the girls moisten the end Of their
thread on that The woman was such a
good customer that we could not afford
TO offend her on a question Of germs, 30
we adopted her suggestion. 1t has met
with such high favor among other women
who never before had had time to get
scared at microbes that an antiseptc prep
aration is now a part Of every girls out
fit"

Ever hear Of the soda shaker heart? It's
a disease developed among fountain at
tendants and is due to the exertion of mix
ing egg and matted drinks. The rapid,
jerky movement of the arms greatly ac-
CELEBRATES the heart action and soon brings
on a permanent high pulse.
1T takes about 300 shakes to mix an
egg drink properly" said a fountain at
tendant and It is not unusual for man
to mix 100 such drinks in a day. That
makes 10000 motions in a day or $4,000
in a week The arm muscles get used to
it, but the heart can't stand It,"
To meet this situation, as well as to in
crease the homogeneity of the drink many
of the larger soda fountains have been
equipped with a newly devised electrical
mixer on the order Of a revolving egg
beater, that makes 5000 revolutions a min
ute and puts out a better drink in one
fourth the time consumed by a hand
shaker.

Compartment culinary utensils are a new

keeping in New York. Space is at a

on this account frying pans and saucepans

chops for instance, may be cooked

Ladies and Gentlemen:-

Ladies and Gentlemen:-
The days of the button hole"
campaign are past. Were it not for
this l would have no chance in the
coming election for have not had
time to spare from my school du-
ties to drive about the county and
meet all the voters. In spite of the
fact that l have been tied down by
my work | have managed to meet a
great number of voters but have
asked no one to promise to vote for
me for | consider that they should
have opportunity to decide, after
due deliberation, on what they want
and act accordingly. In such a
case it would be unfair to ask for a
promise. If the voters believe that
six years is long enough for one
man TO hold the Office then l will be
elected and the work in the county
will go along without any break.
When the people decide that have
held the office long enough and they
find another capable candidate, his
tory will repeat itself, for this is
government of the people, for the
people and by the people.
thank you for your support at
the polls on Tuesday, April 4.
Sincerely,
S. P. NORsTROM
