EDDYTORIUL

The flaming editorial questshion
of this issue of the Bingle is as
folders, viz, to wit: "Shall the
residents of Bingville and visinity
take, or not take summer board
ers ?"
The more we study and puzzle
over this questshion the more we
become of the opinion that it is
a important one, both to the resi-
dents and to the summer boarders.
1t is only within the past four or
five years that the summer boarders
have begin to invade Bingville as
you might say. Before that time
we passed Our summer undisturbed
and in peace.
Our esteemed and respectful
citizen, Cy Hoskins, was the first
person in this neighborhood who
had the dishonor of taking in a
summer boarder who took Cy in,
being as he. went away without
paying a porshion of his board
bill, saying that he had went and
Left a roll of bills in his other
pants pocket to home in the city
where he lived and would send Cy
back the money as soon as he ar
rived back there, but 10, the sum-
mers and winters have came and
went sinst then, but SO far as Cy
is concerned he has not received a
red cent on that board bill and
calkilates now that he never will.
The first summer boarder who
stopped at Cy's said his name was
Smith. The name of Smith is not
a uncommon one even in this seek
shion, being as there are a whole
mess of Smiths live over Hard
scrabble way, but this partickler,
Smith was a good deal of a curl
osity around here being as he was
the first summer boarder who
had ever come into our midst.
He wore white flannel pants and
white shoes and a silk shirt and
cap with a peak to it and a red
necktie and allus went round with
his sleeves rolled up like as if he
wanted to fight, but it appears that
this wasn't his reason.
Hank Dewberry aslt him one
day jest out of curiosity if he was
a prize fighter or anything of that
kind being as he kept his sleeves
rolled up. Smith told Hank that
he wasn't much on the fight, but he
wanted to go back to the city with
his arms all sunburned up if pos
sible. Which only goes to show
that Bingville people has lot sight
more sense than summer boarders

has. Nobody in Bingville wants to
get sunburned if they can help it.
Take Hank Dewberry. Hank he
passes many whole summer with
out getting bit sunburned Well,
this stranger Smith got sunburned
alright and the skin come often his
arms and Cy said he kept EN- all
awake at nights moaning becuz he
couldn't sleep his arms ached him
so and must of used up a qt. of
cold cream day on his arms, which
Cy regarded as a awful reckless
waste of cold cream being as he
never got a cent for it.
But to go back to the main
questsl1ion why do we desire to ca
ter to the summer boarder trade !?
Experience has proved that there
isn't nothing in it. These summer
boarders come to Bingville and
swell around as if they owned the
town and set around and make re-
marks about us and act as if they
was worth a million dollars apiece
and yet they want board and room
for about $3.50 per week whereas
they ought to pay at least So or 81.
Summer boarders at $3.50 per
week and found is poor invest
ment. They would be a profit in it
at that figger if the summer board
ers would be satisfied with what
we are satisfied with but it's the
extras they want that counts up.
They haft to have clean towels
every few days and fine washing
soap to wash with, being as they
wont use the home made soft soap
or wash at the pump and as a rule
they drink more milk than all the
cows in Bingville can give and be-
sides they ask so many fool quest
shions about farrnin and stock that
it blame near drives person
crazy.
Deacon Butterworth had four
summer boarders last summer for
five weeks, a man and his wife and
their two children, and when the
Deacon got shet of them summer
boarders he said he wouldn't never
take summer boarders again as
long as he lived. They wanted to
know which hens laid the double
yo1ked eggs and which cows give
cream and which buttermilk and
the children spent most of the sum-
mer teasing a old buck sheep which
the Deacon kept in lot near the
house, and they didn't stop teasing
until the old buck ketched one of
the children and butted him back
of the woodshed so as he had to
be carried into the house and was
tolerable sore where he got butted
for a day or so.
In our opinion the summer board
ers is bad proposition and as
far as we are personally concerned
we be in favor of not taking same.
We say Bingville for Bingvillians
and let the city boarders stay in
the city where they belong.
In conclusion this eddytoriul on
the summer boarders we might add
that if you desire a newspaper that
gives all the news once each week |
for the Bugle.

Sally Taking a Rest

Miss Sally Hoskins, our talented and
literary poetess, has not wrote any
poems for several weeks. Sally says
the mental sprain of writing a pome

writes one she has to stop for several
weeks and give her brain long rest
Otherwise she thinks her reason would
totter on its throne. Such is the pen
atty of genius.

The Matches We Burn.

1t has been estimated that for each
minute OF time the civilized nations OF
the world strike 100000 matches.
This is said TO be the average for every
minute of the twenty-four hours OF the
day. Fifteen hundred billion is the
number for the entire year. and those
persons who live under the American
flag are charged with the consumption
OF one-half OF this amount. Small and
Insignificant as il is, the match de
mands as much attention in the choice
OF woods involved as any other forest
product Only the choicest portions OF
the best trees are suitable. Sapwood
and knotty or cross grained wood will
not do. Instead Of being a byproduct
the little match is turned out in mills
where the byproducts are bulky OBJ
jects like doors. sash. shingles, sidings.
posts and cordwood- The pines, lin
den, aspen, white cedar. poplar. birch
and willow are the most suitable match

WOMAN IS LEADER
Of Chicago Band Of Auto
Bandits.
(NationaI News Association)

(NationaI News Association
CHICAGO, Dec. Lied by a styl-
ishly dressed woman the automobile
bandits who have terrorized certain
sections of Chicago, committed their
fourteenth robbery within week last
night and today Police and Detectives
have redoubled their efforts TO catch
the thieves. The bandits rode up to
the display window of William Mel
lishs jewelry store in East Sixty-third
street, smashed the window and took
jewels valued at $1,000.
Besides the woman there were three
men in the car. They drove up TO the
place leisurely. The woman and two
men got out. The woman and one of
the men smashed the window. The
other man waved a big revolver and
kept back the crowd attracted by the
crash.
The man who rifled the window
cut his hand. The woman screamed
and the three jumped into the car and
the chauffeur drove away at top speed.

VALUABLE PIGS ARE
KILLED BY FIRE
Farmer Believes a Tramp Ac-
cidentally Set Fire to
His Hog House.

Fire presumably of an incendiary
origin, early this morning destroyed a
hog house belonging to Nathan T.
Wilson, killing twenty-five young pigs
and entailng a loss of $500. Wilson
Easthaven.
A member of the family saw smoke
pouring into his bedroom window, and
Immediately raised the alarm. The hog
house was blazing furiously and at
tempts to save the animals were futile.
Mr. Wilson believes the fire was the
work of a fire bug or a tramp who had
slept in the barn and had carelessly
thrown match into the hay after
lighting a pipe. Tramps are continual
ly sleeping in the barns on the farm,
which are near the railroad.
Footprints, believed to be those of
the person responsible for the FIRE
were plainly visible in the mud around
the pen. A stove has been used by
Wilson to keep the house warm
through the coolest nights, but this
had not been lighted since yesterday
morning. The barn is too far away
from the railroad tracks to justify
the theory that spark from passing
engine might have been the cause.
Help was sought from the city fire
department, but Chief Miller told Will
son that it would be of no use for the
department to make the run if other
buildings were not in danger.
Mr.. Wilson recently had many of the
old hogs moved to another locality and
none of them were burned. He consid-
ers himself very fortunate in this res
pect. All the hay and other grain in
the house was destroyed. The pigs
were of the Hampshire breed and
We're valued at $50.

The Beauty of Clean Teeth.

Not only is it necessary to strive con-
stantly to preserve the natural beauty
of the teeth, but it is equally impor-
tant to increase their wilderness and
general appearance by every remedy
or aid science and students Of den
tistry are able to discover.
For keeping the teeth in good con-
dition chewing dry toast, hard bread
or crackers is recommended. Coarse
foods tend to give stability to the
"grnders' which keeps them from
early decay. For the purpose Of dis
lodging particles of food. removing
deposits and other substances a good
toothbrush is Indispensable. The brush
with medium soft bristles is best. for
the reason that unyielding bristles in
jure and inflame the gums. causing
them to shrink and recede.
In stroking do not make the mistake
Of drawing the brush across the teeth
without alternating this action with a
careful up and down stroke. Draw
ing the brush up and down removes
particles Of food that lodge tightly in
crevices between the teeth.
Cover the gums as we'll as the teeth
during this cleaning process. Gentle
stroking Is best for the gums. If they
bleed rinse them thoroughly with a
healing mouth wash. so they will grad
ually become invigorated and harden
ed, thus aiding in the fight against de-
caying teeth.
One of the most universally popular
ingredients in dentrihces is powdered
chalk. 1t Is inexpensive, harmless and
effective, its chief value being the neu-
Trailing of acids in the mouth.
Among the simple remedies always
at hand none can be recommended
more highly than common salt A
strong solution of salt water is bene-
fetal mouth wash, and dry salt placed
on the toothbrush cleanses the teeth.
Borax is useful in that it tends to
remove unpleasant odors from the
breath. Dissolve two to four ounces
! of borax in a pint of hot water and
add a half teaspoonful of tncture Of
myrrh or spirits of camphor.

Dry Cleaning the Hair.

Dry cleaning the hair has become so
much part Of the toilet that many
Of its ardent devotees wonder how
they ever managed to worry along be-
fore the days of the dry shampoo.
This vastly popular substitute for
soap and water is the special delight
of the woman whose hair is inclined to
be damp or to become oily a few days
after the wet shampoo. A great many
women find weekly shampooing is in
furious to their scalp in that it causes
the hair to fall out in great quantities,
AS rule, no amount of washing will
injure either the scalp or the hair any
more than it Injuries the face, provid-
ing, Of course. that the purest of soap
is combined with strictly soft water
the scalp and hair are rinsed thorough
~ until not veStige Of the soap re-
mains, and a softening lotion or tonic
is applied to the scalp Immediately
afterward. This tonic has the same
effect upon the scalp as an application
Of a skin food has on the face after
a soap and water bath. and is equally
as important if the hair is TO be kept
in good condition.
1t is not enough to apply the tonic,
but it must be we'll massaged into the
scalp with the tips of the fingers in
order that every pore may be nourish-
ed and refreshed. Afterward. a good
brushing to bring out the sheen of the
hair and to distribute its natural oils
is essential.
To cleanse the hair thoroughly 1t
should be brushed successfully from
partings made in all directions On the
scalp. Between each stroke, dust and
foreign particles, such as fakes of
dandruff, should be removed from the
brush so as not to communicate them
to the next part If the brush be-
comes dark and oily, wash it out be-
fore proceeding further. 1t may be
necessary to use clean brush half
dozen times during the stroking, so
that If you have more than one brush
you can leave one to dry while the
other is in use. Draw comb through
the brush each time it is run through
the hair, afterward wiping the comb
clean with towel.

To Remove Moth Patches.

To remove moth patches from the
skin apply a solution of common bak-
ing soda to the patches with a soft
cloth or camers hair brush, says a
writer. Repeat the process several
times day for three days. Allow the
soda to dry on. then cleanse the skin
Of the face with a bran bath. Repeat
the treatment If necessary.
Sunshine is the best possible disin-
fectant The rays of the sun penetrate
and disintegrate organic substances
Let 1t food all the rooms Of the house
whenever 1t is possible. Lay the bed
ding in its direct rays for an hour
every bright morning. and there will
be a delightfully."- fresh. sweet smell to
the linen. Open all closets frequently
and let the sun warmed air circulate
through them. Dark corners that have
a stufTy odor are dangerous to the
health Of the household

Hints Worth Remembering.

An excellent way to prevent clothes
from freezing to the clothesline is to
dip a cloth in strong salt water and
wipe the line with it.
To restore a waterproof coat dis
solve a handful Of best gray lime in
half a pailful of water and with this
solution wipe the coat at the hardened
parts. This should be done at inter
walls of about four hours. After this
treatment a hardened waterproof laid
by as useless for years should be equal
to new.
The frames of old umbrellas or para
soils can be used very artiStically for
creepers in a garden. Just open them,
strip off the silk, sharpen the handles
to a point and thrust them open into
the ground.
