PICKED OUT THE WRONG EYE
Physician Meant Well Enough but He
Had Left the Motornan Sc
riously Handicapped.

Frank z. Payne. a member of the
state railroad commission, said when
investigating a trolley accident re-
Gently. he was told of a motorman on
a WORK car who was running at high
speed when the trucks left the rails
because Of snow and sleet, and the
car was thrown to the side of the
right of way, bringing it up against a
telephone pole.
"The motorman was not seriously
hurt, cut was cut and bruised about
the head and face by flying glass. He
was carried to a physicians Office
where his wounds were dressed and
bandaged When the physician had
placed the last pin, he asked the
wounded man if he felt like he could
walk.
"'Sure. can walk all right re

would fix those bandages so l car

NEW PAPER CUPS FOR JELLY
Little Vessels That Will Be Hailed
With Delight by the Modern
Housekeeper.

The. new paper sanitary tumblers
which have just come ont ought to be
hailed with delight by the modern
housekeeper especially at preserving
times. These little vessels are made
from spruce pulp. They are treated
with aseptic qualities at the mill be-
fore being packed in cartons and
shipped to the various stores and in
these cartons sold to the housekeeper,
so the only thing she has to do is to
break the seal and the jelly jars are
ready for use.
They are so inexpensive that they
may easily be thrown away at the
end Of the winter season, says the
Philadelphia Times. Each tumbler is
treated with wax process which en-
ables the jelly to slip out as easily as
from a glass jar.
Little round lids come for covering
the vessels and. slip into small
groove at the top. The hot liquor
can be poured directly into these pa
per tumblers.

SYMPATHY, BUT NO APOLOGY
Lawyers Tart Remarks Not Greatly
Softened by His Rejoinder
When "CalIed Down."

Andrew Lipscomb, who practices
law before the courts of Maryland,
was trying his first case before a
Judge named Merrick. Lipscomb, wish
ing to impress the judge. was, in the
language of the bar, right lippy in his
remarks to the eminent gentleman.
Finally, Merrick lost patience and ex-
claimed:
"Sit down. Sit down, sir! If you
don't sit down I'll fine you for con-
tempt of court"
Lipscomb sat down, but turned to a
young lawyer beside him, and re-
marked, in an undertone:
That's the crustiest, most opinion
ated old judge 1 ever saw. I'll show
him where he gets off. He's an old
fool"

ALL ABOUT THE PHILOSOPHER
Short Essay Evidently Written by One
Familiar With This Species
of Animal.

A philosopher is man, and rarely
a woman. who, having nothing to do
and being glad Of it, puts in his time
explaining the reason that other pec-
pie should have for doing things.
Philosophers are not popular be-
cause. in the first place, most men
are too busy to listen to them, and,
in the second place. they are satisfied
with their own reason for doing
things.
Nevertheless, philosophers are wont
to gravitate toward comfortable stoves
in corner groceries, where men Of
varying leisures straggle in and to-
wards comfortable chairs in universi-
ties where helpless youth are COM
PEELED to listen as part of an awful
punishment called curriculum.
Whenever philosopher becomes
famous, it always turns out that ne is
not a philosopher at all, but scien-
tist. simon-pure philosophers never
give information, because nothing less
than explaining the unknowable will
satisfy them. One philosopher will
never agree with another philosopher
if he can possibly help it.-Life.

HAIR CAME OUT BY HANDFUL

IS Lewis ST., Nashville, Tenn
About three years ago had the ma
laria fever, and when / recovered my
hair was falling out SO that the doc
tor told me to cut it off. My hair came
out by the handful, and I had dandruff
so that I had to scratch 1t out every
week, and my scalp itched so that I
pulled my hair all down trying to
scratch it. I tried - and and
- but they failed TO do any good.
At last I tried Cuticura Soap and oint-
ment.
First l combed my hair out, made

Not Necessary to Leave Home.


In an effort to stop the migration of
dying consumptives to the Southwest,
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis will
ask physicians to be more careful in
ordering patients to go away, and will
also ask railroads to discontinue their
practice Of selling charity" tickets
to those who cannot afford to pay full
fare. 'No consumptive should go to
Colorado, California, or the West for
his health" says the association, "un-
less he has a good chance for recov-
ery from his disease, and unless espe-
cially he has at least $1,000 to spend
for this purpose, over and above what
his family may need.
''Tuherculosis can be cured IN any
part OF the United States, and 1t Is
not necessary for tuberculosis pa
t,ent to 20 West. Whenever possible,
tie National Association urges tuoer-
cuiosjs patients who have not ample
funds to go to sanatorium near
home, and if they cannot do this, to
take the cure in their homes, un-
der the direction Of physician"

TREATMENT OF FLOORS
HINTS THAT THE ROJsEKEEPER
WILL FIND HELPFUL.
White shellac Followed by Wax Polish
Best for Parquet Flcors-cld
Floors Stained to
Match Rugs.

Even in new houses where hard
wood floors are fresh and clean, some
Of the rooms will look better stained
For a parQuet floor there is no bet
ter finish than to first fill with
coat of white shellac and then apply
wax evenly with cloth. Let the
wax remain on several hours before
rubbing down to high polish with
the weighted brush that comes for
this purpose With this simple finish
the floors are easily kept bright by
being rubbed with the weight once
a week and being busted daily with
an ordinary broom over which
woolen cloth is tied.
Ole floors may be stained to match
the rugs so easily that one wonder
why it is not often done. Purchase
a package of dye the tint you want
your floor, or you can get seal brown,
which will resemble walnut when
done, or light brown, which gives a
handsome shade. Dissolve in boiling
water as directed on the envelope and
apply with scrubbing or white
wash brush. When perfectly dry this
may be vanished. This finish may
also be used on homemade furni-
ture and on woodwork that has never
been painted.
Very often stains made at home
are more satisfactory than those al
ready mixed; a pound Of dry color
costs in the neighborhood Of ten
cents, and this mixed with two
quarts Of turpentine will give beau
tiful stains of any desired color.
Burnt sienna mixed with turpentine
and applied to the floors with coarse
brush and then wiped off with rag
before it is entirely dry gives beau
tiful mahogany stain, and the grain
Of the wood shows through beauti-
fully.
Raw sienna also gives transparent
stain with a fine sunny yellow or
orange effect, according to how much
turpentine is used to dilute it with. It
is a good color for halls, as it does
not show the print OF dust so plainly
as darker stains do.
Prussian blue Is a powerful stain
with great possibilities Two or three
tablespoons of the dry color will be-
sufficient for a half gallon Of turpen-
tine On yellow pine floor it gives
green and blue shades that blend
with blue hangings.
To keep a fine gloss on vanished
floors do not wash with soapsuds, but
sprinkle with dairy salt or coarse salt.
Allow it to remain on five minutes and
then sweep of with a soft broom.
When you must wash painted or
vanished floors, put a little kero-
sene in the water. This will give a
gloss.
Kitchen floors should never be COW
cred with carpet for dozens of rea-
sons that all good housekeepers know.
Linoleum is an ideal covering. If 1t
is out Of the question several coats
Of good inside paint will be found
next best. Strips of carpet and rag
rugs prevent the paint wearing of
and soften the uncovered floor to
tired feet.-Aenrietta D. Grauel,
Domestic Science Lecturer.

of butter. Prepare plain, sweet cake
batter and drop one mixing-spoonful
on each cup. Stand the cups in a
long pan half full of boiling water.
Place in the oven and bake quickly.
The cake batter should puff up over
the cups and bake nice brown. To
serve, turn each cups contents upon

FOODS WHICH CONTAIN SUGAR
Vegetables. Grains and Fruits Yield
the Sugars We Eat-Must Be
Well Cooked.

Fruits, grains and vegetables cen
tain the sugars We eat.
Fruit sugars are directly absorbed
into the system without previous prep
aration by the digestive juices OF the
intestines, and are almost the only
food eaten by man OF which this can
be said. The sugars found in cane,
beets and the maple tree must under
60 the digestive process before they
can be absorbed by the body.
Grains contain the sugar in the
form of starch. This sugar can only
be developed by thorough cooking or
partially digesting starch, which is
found in the iorm of small granules
incased in a woody covering; when
thoroughly cooked the granules burst
this covering and can be reached by
the saliva and good digestion. IS as
sured
The starches, we have found, are
the most abundant Of all food ele-
ments and are largely contained in
seeds and plants. All Of our cereals,
breakfast foods, breads, legumes, etc.,
are about three-quarters starch, there
fore we can realize how important 1t
is to cook them well. A form OF
sugar called. "dextrine" is developed
in well cooked or partially digested
starch, and scientists tell us there are
twenty-five changes in dextrine be-
tween raw starch and digested or fruit
sugar.
The sugar in vegetables appears
also in the form of starch, in small
quantities compared to that found in
cereals Most of them are made more
digestible by cooking.
The exception is green corn, which
contains almost twenty per cent. OF
sugar in, the place of starch, and
therefore should be cooked very
short time.
