MOTORCYCLE IS FOR WOMEN
English Method Of Enclosing All
Parts So That Skirts Are Not
Caught or Spattered.

Although motorcycling is almost ex-
clusively sport or means Of trans
portation for men in America, and
young men at that, the makers of
motorcycles for women are finding q
ready sale in England. The method
of inclosing all movable parts on a
womans motorcycle, so that there is
no danger of the skirts being caught
or spattered with oil, is shown in the
accompanying illustration of popular
model, says the Popular Mechanics.

Milky Way Causes Glaciers.

Milky Way Causes GlacleTs-
Another suggested cause of glacial
periods is that they have been due to
the shifting of the milky way, such az
is known to have occurred. Assuming
that much OF the earths heat comes
from the stars, DR.. Rudolf Spitaler
finds that the change of position in re-
lation to the milky way might have
given a different distribution of tenn.
perature from that existing at the.
present time. The stars are not only
crowded in the region of the milky
way, but many Of them are of the hot
test type.

all riddles are not conundrums, the
term conundrum being used more for

FROM THE EDITOR.
He FORGOT That he Had q Stomach

Talking Of food, there is probably
no professional man subjected to q
greater, more wearing mental strain
than the responsible editor Of 4
modern newspaper.
To keep his mental faculties con-
stantly in good working order, the
editor must keep his physical powers
up to the highest rate Of efficiency.
Nothing will SO quickly upset the
whole system as badly selected food
and disordered stomach. It there
fore follows that he should have
right food, which can be readily as
simulated, and which furnishes true
brain nour1shment.

Get Your Store And Place OF Business
SANITARY.

Every person who buys food has
right to expect from the grocery
men, the proprietors of the restau-
rants or hotels, dairymen, fruit
vendors, and in fact anyone who
keeps food material for sale, a
clean and pure product. This is
not only right but it is important
for the reason that it is necessary
in protecting the health of those
who use this material. The pub
lie has right to expect this and
it should be demanded. A gro
ceryman should haze pride in
keeping his store as carefully and
as clean as man dealing in dry
goods, but often this is not done.
| remember visiting a city of some
reputation in the state the past
year, and to my surprise found
the dry goods stores screened but
not the grocery stores. 1t may be
somewhat more difficult to keep
a grocery store clean and sanitary
but this is no reason for not COM
plying with this condition, and
especially when it concerns the
health of the public.
All food material such as -four,
sugar, lard, butter, bread, etc.
should be kept under cover. While
inspecting grocery store a few
days ago the lard was found I'M
covered and there were being
ground up in it as many as five
flies. These may increase the
weight somewhat but at the same
time they will certainly not make
the lard any more palatable, but
on the contrary may cause sick
ness and even death. Fruit should
be screened or covered with net.
ting. Vegetables and fruit when
placed outside of the store door
should be supported about two
feet above the pavement. This
prevents the filth of dogs and the
dirt from the shoes of people COM
ing in direct contact with the ma
terial. 1t is really better not to
leave such material on the pave
ment and in many towns there are
ordinances prohibiting this.
The proprietor of restaurant
should take more pride in keeping
the kitchen clean than that part
which is under the observation of
the public. 1t is too often the
case that the cooking of restau-
rants is in charge of servants who
are ignorant and pay very little
attention to the preparation of food
