the two fishermen had seated them
selves as securely and comfortably as
POSSIBLE on the end of a log said log
projecting from the bank of the creek
halfway across the stream, with the
deep, uninviting waters beneath. 1t
will be recalled, too, that Nibs had, in
hoggish way, appropriated to his
own use the entire supply of snake
medicine, leaving his fellow fisherman
exposed to all the dangers that might
be experienced from the bites of the
poisonous reptiles that infested the
creek. But we will now give way to
Zebulum and let him continue his story
in his own way.
at was, as Nbs had remarked, a
'snakey looking place. The creek, IN
it's rugged and sometimes turbulent
course toward the Ohio river, Is, as its
name indicates, very crooked, winding
its way around and between and among
the hills that abound in that locality,

brush lay thick around. The big DRIFT
before mentioned, which almost span
ned the stream, made an inviting mar
Dor for the moccasins and caused the
water above it to be covered with a
dirty-looking foam. Yet it had been
recommended as a good fishing hole.

line, sit still, don't talk and we'll soon
have a nice lot of fish to take home to
both Nell and Nobs. 1t all depends on
your keeping quiet.

Health q Factor In Success.

The largest factor contributing to a

1t has been observed that man is
seldom sick when his bowels are regu-

constipated. For constipation you will
find nothing quite so good as Cham

the bowels but improve the appetite
and strengthen the digestion. They

Nibs had been sitting with his feet and
legs hanging down the side of the log.
and, as he fell oyer backward, his
feet, of course, had to come up over
the top of the log before they could
take their descent along with the rest
of the body. Taking an immediate
advantage of the situation, just as the
falling mans feet were rising up to
take their flop over the log, l grabbed
his heels with 10th my hands, pressed
them against the log with all my

CAN YOU SPELL 1T?

Last summer a company containing
a number of rather prominent people
had assembled for an outing, and, as
they sat about after luncheon, one OF
the members of the party produced
the following typewriter sentence:
1T is agreeable to view the I'M
parralleled embarrassment of an har-
assed saddler or peddler sitting on a
cemetery wall, gauging the symmetry
of a skillfully peeled potato"
He requested each member of the
company to write that sentence, and
it was done. Then, one by one, the
group spelled it out as it had beea
written. There was not one person
present who had not misspelled at
least one word, and some had mis-
spelled as many as five.
The man who wrought this mischief
in that company added to the merri-
ment of the occasion by saying that
there was an unconfined rumor to the
effect that President Eliot had given
that sentence to President Lowell,
and that the latter had distinguished
himself by misspelling seven of the
words.
None of those words is difficult;
none is unusual. Perhaps you would
like to try this sentence on your
friends, and afterwards make up your
own mind whether We need any such
thing as spelling reform.-Adyance

FEWER MEDICAL
SCHOOLS

There are IA fewer medical schools
in the United States than there were A
year ago; 1900 fewer persons studied
medicine in 1918 than in 1912; and
there was a decrease of 500 in the
number of medical graduates, ac-
cording to figures compiled at the
United States Bureau of Education.
The reduction in the number Of
medical schools is part of a steady
movement for improved medical edu-
cation that has been going on for the
past s or years. The American Med
ical Association, the various state
medical societies, and other agencies,
have aroused public opinion to such
an extent that 70 medical colleges
have either merged with other insti-
tutions or ceased to exist, and the
standard of medical training mas been
raised considerably. Of the 1O1 med
ical schools now listed at the Bureau.
% are requiring one or more years G"
college work as a prerequisite to en-
tering upon the study of medicine.
State examining boards in North
Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado,
Indiana, South Dakota, and Kentucky
have introduced regulations, in most
cases to be made effective within 4
year or two, providing that every ap.
plicant for license to practice med
icine shall have studied two years in
college, after four-years' high
school course, before even beginning
medical training. A similar require
ment covering one year of college
work will soon be enforced by the
state boards of Connecticut, Kansas,
Utah, Vermont, Pennsylvania, and
California.
An Interesting feature of the Stats
tics is the part played by women. AL
though the total number of medical
students has decreased, the number of
women studying medicine has in
creased. In 1912. there ao were 1SA51
medical students, of whom 712 were
women; in 1918 there were 1928
students, Of whom S35 were women.
Only 20 women graduated this year,
however, as compared with 142 in
1912.

GOODS AT A
PROFIT

1t is human nature to want to drive
g bargain" 1t is essential to the sue
cess of a merchant that he make a
reasonable profit on the goods handl-
ed by him
People sometimes so far forget
themselves to chuckle over the fact
that they have bought something at
cost, or below cost. OF course there
are times when an honest merchant
prefers to sell at cost rather than to
carry goods over to another season;
but, generally, selling at cost-anl
below cost-means depreciates in
the quality of goods handled, de-
struction to the reputation of the
merchant, ruin and decentralization to
trade, a closing of the gates of oppor-
tunity, and an opening of TIE, doors Of
bankruptcy.
Selling goods without profit, cut
ting prices" creates strife and dis
cord and sometimes dishonesty, among
manufacturers, retailers and consum-
ers
The merchant who demands profit
out of all proportions to his invest
nent, the cost of handling the goods,
and the reasonable deterioration of
his stock, is no friend to society. At
the same time, the merchant who
sells for nc profit is working a great
hardship on the tens of thousands of
women and children who wear ont
their lives in sweat-shops at starva-
ton wages.
| Honest effort, in manufacturing,
transporting and distributing the
comodities of life, deserves reasonable
reward 1t is poor business and a
dangerous practice to sell goods at
cost merely for the sake of making 4
sale. Live and let live" is mighty
good rule to follow in the business
world.
Just here it may be mentioned that
Americas people will find our home
merchants, as rule, more reasonable
in the profits they charge, than those
demanded in the larger cities, where
rent, insurance, clerk-hire, and com
petition all amount to more and must
be considered.
And so, let us all merchants and
consumers of Americas, continue to
follow cheerfully the good old motto.
Live and let live"
