COMMON DRINKING CUP
IS A GERM SPREADER.
New Jersey Legislature and Chicago
City Council Have Outlawed 1t.

Beware Of the common drinking cup
or glass. the one used promiscuously
in nublic places or in shops or offices
where many persons are employed.
This Is the advice of physicians all
over the country. The common drink
ing cup is Il germ spreader, the doc
tors say. and many diseases are trans
mitted through its use. For nickel
anybody can buy glass tumbler or a
tin cup for his own private use. to be
kept at desk or work bench and used
during working hours instead of the
vessel from which scores drink water.
Recently the state legislature of New
Jersey has passed a law prohibiting
the placing OF drinking cups for gen.
eral use in railroad stations, stores.
workshops. factories. s4ffice buildings,
etc. A penalty Of $25 for violation of
the statute is provided.
The city council of Chicago also has
taken similar action by passing an or
dinance outlawing this germ dis
tributer. All cups and glasses for pro-
miscuous drinking use found in the
Chicago schools, department stores, OF
flee buildings, factories and other
places which many persons frequent
are to be seized.

TROLLEY PARCEL
POST IN ENGLAND
Bradford Makes Money and
BoOms Trade.
AND GIVES QUICK SERVICE.

Takes Fifty-six Pound Package Any |
where In Town For IA Cents, the
Highest Price, and Delivers II Within
Two Hours.
With the big mail order houses all
over the country fighting so bitterly
against the extension of the parcels
post idea, it is interesting to read
what has been done in the town of
Bradford, England, for the convent
ence and economy of seller and GUS
toner alike.
Here the street railways are used,
and agents offices are located at the
terminal stations of each route. Stamps
ranging IN value from 2 to IA cents are
sold by the tramway company just as
letter stamps are sold ut the postofflce.
and for these prices packages weigh
ing from seven to fifty-six pounds are
delivered at any point within half
mile of the car tracks.
The whole equipment OF the service
cost but S17,033. and ffty-two boys
and sixteen men comprise the working
force. But in the last fiscal year the
company quickly and safely carried
675.719 parcels and made a net profit
of $S.473.
The Bradford storekeepers have thus
been able to discontinue the employ
ment Of errand boys. for by this tram
way parcels service parcel can be
delivered to their customers within
two hours after its receipt by the par
eel department. which is quicker than
the postofiice parcels post. Indeed, the
tramway parcels service may be said
to commence where the postoffice serv-
ice ends, as the latter takes parcels up
to eleven pounds only, while the for
mer collects and delivers them up to
fifty-six pounds.

To dip hogs in such vat it s'iould

is made by adding one part of .sreso
to rs parts of cistern (soft) water,
warmed up tepid. To fill such a vat

about 225 gallons of dip. This will
require gallons of kreso, which

HOME CANNING.

During the last few years, since
the boil weevil came to spur us on.
Louisiana farmers have made great
progress in producing at home many
food and feed products that they for
merly bought and brought from other
states. There is one phase Of this
good work that ought to be more
advanced than it is. mad hat is the
home canning of vegetables and
fruits. Through the use OF the nome
Gamer. which may be bought at all
sorts OF prices from "a up or which
car be made at home, it is possible
for the farm home to have an abund-
ance of vegetables and fruits the
year round. !.
There are many advantages in
home canning; it saves the outlay an

The little boys of twenty years ago
Bad little boys, that is--had one queer
trait
Which many folk considered crude and
Twas calculated to exasperate,
But twas expressive, and twas UNDER
BY those who saw it-though it always
ranked
With words and actions that were far
from good.
And boys caught at 1t sometimes would
be spanked.
Twas this: The thumb in insolence was
Against the nose-tip and the fingers
spread
Fan-wise, derisively; their wigsles traced
The "Yah!" the daring youth must
leave unsaid.
A silent jeer-a most insulting jeer-
1t flung challenge to a youthful foe,
Or wiggled at the back Of teacher dear
When from the schoolhouse door she
bade us go.
Oh, can't you see freckled. tow-haired
boy,
With two teeth out in front. with twin
king eyes,
Who thumbed his nose and made that
sign with JOY
When he saw one whom he must needs
despise2-
The grave town marshal who had chased
in vain
The lads who had been robbing orchard
trees,
The brakeman who had kept them from
the train,
The spinster who would scold in stri-
dent keys.
But now no more-times change: so does
the lad
What newer rudeness now makes clear
his scorn?
What does he do to make folk call him
bad
And VOW he'll rue the day that he was
born?
But we, old, fat, bald-headed men
How oft there comes a memory that
A boy with stone bruised feet who
spreads again
His fingers. with his thumb against
his nose!

CHAPTER XII.
The Roof Garden.

ne Hoof GaFdens
I was quite Ill the next morning
from excitement, suppose. Anyhow,
I did not get up, and there wasn't
any breakfast. Jim said he reused
Flanagan at eight o'clock, to go
down and get the fire started, and then
went back to bed. But Flanagan did
not get up. He appeared. sheepishly,
at half-past ten, and by that time
Bella was down, in a towering rage,
and had burned her hand and got
the fire started, and had taken up q
tray for Aunt Selma and herself.
AS the others struggled down they
boiled themselves eggs or ate fruit,
and nobody put anything away. Lollie
Mercer made me some tea and scorch-
ed toast, and brought 1t, about II
o'clock.
Il never saw such house." she de-
clared. "A dozen housemaids couldn't
put it in order. Why should every
man that smokes drop ashes wherever
he happens to be?"
That's the question of the ages" /
replied languidly. What was Max
talking SO horribly about q little
while ago?" Lollie looked up ag-
grieved.
About nothing at ALL" she declared
Anne told me to clean the bathtubs
with oil, and did 1t, that's all. Now
Max says he couldn't get 1t of, and
his clothes stick to him, and If he
should forget and strike a match in
the-in the usual way, he would ex-
plode. He can clean his own tub to-
morrow" she finished vindictively.
