10 abuses or some kind. The wax
seems to worry great many people,
and in their concern they usually man
age to seriously interfere with Its
functions In the healthy ear the wax,
or cerumen. is thin yellowish futdi
that thickens into a paste as ii dries.
Nature provides for its natural exit
from the ear passage by uniting II with
the tiny flakes of dead skin which fan
outward unnoticed either by seeing or
feeling Thus wax does not aceumu-
late in healthy ear, which has JUST
enough to make sticky the stiff little
hairs that grow in the passage.
Instruments should never be poked
into the ear by the inexperienced nor
wads of material continually mopped
and squeezed into the opening for
cleansing. Usually such treatment in
duces an increase or caklng of wax.
Hot water is the best solvent for wax,
105 to 115 degrees r. If the need of 10
is imperative gently syringe the ear
with it. Cotton plugs in the ear are
useful at times, but should be used no
more than absolutely necessary. for
they obstruct the canal and interiors
with the natural way Of casting on
wax.-Exchange' sl-T

Laughing Song Show at Barre Opera
House Saturday.

Barre theatregoers have not seen a
more pronounced success in the musical
comedy field in recent years than 1.-THE
Newlyweds and Their Baby" which
comes here Saturday, Oct. ~, matinee
and night. This is the laughing song
show from the famous cartoons adapted
by Aaron Hoffman and Paul West, the
music and lyrics by Seymour Brown, Nat
b. Aver and John w. Bratton. 1t is
said to have attracted wonderful pat
ronage in several of the large cities of
the East and in a season that went down
in history as one of the most disastrous
in theatrical history.
The reason for its remarkable sue
cess is not attributed alone to the great
ness of the cast. the gorgeousness OF
the production, the brightness of the
lyrics. the tunefulness of the music. or
the cleverness of the chorus. but a hap
py combination of them all. In addi-
ton to these qualities. which are usually
all that are necessary for the success
Of any production, the book is said to
be the most replete with comedy situa
tions ever introduced in musical farce,
and could not fail to succeed, even
though all the musical numbers were

The Witches Dance.

This should be the close of the Hal
loween party. Place a small table in
the middle OF the floor and have every
one join in forming a big ring, leaving
an opening toward the door for you.
Tell them to close their eyes tight as
they stand taking hold of hands while
you put out the light and to keep their
eyes shut until you light it again.
Have already prepared very large
bowl with as many raisins as there are
members of the party and at the last
moment pour over them half cupful
of alcohol and Il tablespoonful of salt.
Have a match in your hand and as you
quickly set the bowl on the little table
in the center of the circle light the
match and touch 1t to the alcohol.
Then call them TO open their eyes and
start the ring, all dancing round and
round as the weird greenish flames leap
up in the darkness.
Tell them each one Is to plunge their
hands in the flames and get raisin.
No one is ever burned in the slightest
il they quickly thrust their hands 10
and out again.
The greatest fun is to have prepared
beforehand as many slips of paper as
there are guests. with a line of good
fortune written on each. Wrap each
one around a chocolate cream and then
wrap in tin foil Throw these in the |
bowl instead of the raisins, and then |
to make it even more grewsome the
hostess can be dressed as a witch, with |
a pointed cap and wand, and say in
sepulchral tones:
All those who would their fortune know
Must quickly test this fiery glow.

Rinina.

This game is never old. and for rainy
days there is nothing like it, There
are many topics that can be jingled
into funny rimes if the rimers have
ingenuity.
The fun consists In the head person
starting the first line. The person next
must give the riming line before a
given number of seconds have passed.
Usually one minute is the allotted time.
Then. If he is not ready, any one in
the company may call il out and
change places.
In this way a number of clever
rimes may be forthcoming, and the
game may be kept up till the ingenuity
of the players is exhausted.
