count to the owners for the sums they
brought. The dealers demanded resti

dreading exposure. had to hustle
around to raise enough money to
make up the deficiency in order to
avoid prosecution. In this way he
lived from day to day borrowing from
Peter to settle with Paul, and on one
or two occasions he had not been

filled with CONSERVATION. She had

a disgraceful scandal. She would be

DANGER in LICKING STAMPS
Practice Has Been Known to Cause
Acute Inflammation OF the
Tongue.

Do the people who Jeer at the eau

age stamp as "cranks" know that there
is defined disease known as the
postage stamp tongue?"
This Is an acute Inflammation of the
tongue. directly traced to the germs to
be found on the gummed side of stamp
or envelope.
Other and more serious diseases
have been caused by this habit that is
SO universal and seems SO harmless
One throat specialist In a hospital
declares that many chronic affections
of the throat are found among persons
who have as their livelihood the ad-
dressing and stamping of envelopes
Bad skin dfseases have ben known
to follow this habit. and 1t has even
caused pulmonary troubles.
1t is after all but habit. and a bad
one. 1t takes no more time and is
quite as easy to moisten the stamp
with damp sponge or rag.
Where many letters must be
stamped and sealed there are good pa
tent inventions by which the sponge
is kept moist.

small woman. At burial both she
and the comm did not weigh as much
as 200 pounds. The petrincation u
said to be perfect
