Health Notice.

The attention of all citizens is
called to the necessity Of looking
after the sanitary conditions of
their premises. Flies r. Iuire the
greatest attention, as they carry
more disease germs and come
more directly in contact with
your food supply than any other
mode of contamination. You
should screen your houses before
Spring-time. Their chief place
of breeding is in stable manure,
and | must insist that the stables
in the city be kept in better con-
dition, and wnere manure is piled
out for as much as 48 hours it
must be sprinkled with some
form of disinfectant.
Cloan' up yards and alleys; pile
it and we will move it. Don't
allow standing water about your
place, as that is the birthplace
of mosquitoes. Report standing
water, old unused wells or any
other nuisance in your neighbor-
hood to me and will see to it.

25-3C Health Officer.

Tripe.

Tripe, says a London paper, is dish
for the gourmet. cooked in pipkln. AS
they do it in France with a delectable
brown sauce. And yet this excellent
and delicate food has fallen into dlsre-
pute with u.s. Where now are those
..tripe and trotter" shops that used to
be quite common in London twenty
years ago? And we have turned the
word to the purpose Of scornful slang.
We say that silly book is "tripe OF
that man talks 'tripe" 1t is dead
" condemnation. AS to cheese and
onions, one thinks of Shakespeare
cheese and garlic in a windmill and
shudders. But add tripe to the cheese
and onions and you have really wor'
thy dish. 1t all depends on the cook.

Bow of the Boat.

When once a notion becomes firmly
fixed into the head Of the people it is
strange how difficult it is to get that
notion out again.a For many years all
ships were clumsily built, with tile
bow wider than the stern, because
some one had declared that log could
be towed more easily that way with
the butt end first and the tapering end
last. One day some man who was in
dependent enough to think for himself
tried the experiment and built ship
such as those in use now, with the
bow the narrowest. or course IL III
creased the speed of the ship ana
since that day boats have been built
that way. and logs are towed with the
tapering end first.

Daysey Mayme and
Her Folks
BY FRANCES L. GARSIDE.

~ AYSEY MAMYE APPLETON was
arrayed not only in new Paris
gown and new furs, but in the
| consciousness that she was doing good
in a way that was both select and fash
/ ionable.
She ordered her chauffeur to stop his
| machine before the dingiest of East
Side tenements, and then called to the
newspaper photographers.
Il have come" she said, ito investi-
gate the condition of the kimono stril1-
ers. Please take my picture with a
front view so as to give the best eff
fects to my philanthropic expression"
Having thus submitted, much against
her will. to a dozen snapshots, Miss APP
pleton arose in her car. Waving a
muff containing enough fur to cover
dozen shivering shoulders as a sig
nal to the half frozen, half-starved
| girls gathered around that she was
ready to address them, she began:
MY dears,' she said in a voice as
| sweet as dinner bell. II am here to
| give advice that will help you. In the
| first place, you mtsjudge US. You think
| because we are rich we have no sOr-
rows.

grave" here her voice broke and her
tears began to fall. 81 buried my dar-
| ling this morning, my life, my all"
Sobs choked her, but she went brave

changes of climate, MEDICAL attention.
and the daintiest of food, but he was
not spared me. Oh, my dear sisters
though | am wealthy. I have my Geth-
semane. He was three years old, a
Pekinese, and the finest spaniel in the
city"
For a moment she was unable to
speak, 1--WE rich have other sorrows
too she continued. Il have had to
| change maids twice this month my
chauffeur can't speak a word of French
and every luncheon 1 gave for the pet

Il have come with my sorrow to help
you bear yours. Let me suggest that
you brace your spirit for the conflict by
selecting good reading. Try Robert w.
Chambers! He has a way of handling
cOrsets, aftinities and soul ambitions in
a most delicate manner
Il have been told that some of you
are starving for bread. l will remind
| you of what the famous French woman
| said when the peasants cried for bread
Why don't they eat cake?' My dear
suffering sisters, you will find cake, if
| it contains plenty of fresh eggs more
nutritious than bread"
Then she took her seat. waved good
| bye with her muff. and ordered the

a RE there occasions when pretense
u is justified, and by 'pretense' 1
mean a pleasing hypocrisy?
The stern moraists who gauge their
conduct by the width of a hair will say
most certainly not. I contend there is.

Little Dorrit. can he of greater use in
the world by pretending just little.
But the pretense must be optimistic
pretense. We must not pretend that
things are worse than they are. We
must pretend they are better.
We must occasionally pretend to be
pleased when we are far from it, We
must pretend we like that which
friend gives us when we don't, and we
must pretend. day after day, in big
things and little, that we are satisfied
when we are not.

and her brothers happy; who could win
and keep q lover and who could please
a husband without pretending little

in their attentions to her they do what

ing. AS a girl she learns that she must

can't find pleasure in the gift.
The men love laughter, and girl
must be pleased when her lover buys
tickets for a laugh producing play,
though she prefers a tragedy,
She must pretend to be pleased when
her husband. i'm the overlooking gen
crosity of his heart, is persuaded by
some eloquent clerk to buy her bright
green dress when she wants and would
look better in a brown.
She must remember a hundred times
n day to look at the spirit that prompts
a kindly attention. and not with criti-
cal eyes at the manner in which the
attention is manifested.
In her dealings with her friends she
must pretend to be pleased at uneX-
pected company when every house
wifely instinct is paniC-stricken. She
must pretend, when a friend has pur-
chased hat, and must keep it and
wear it,, that the hat is becoming. She
must pretend that a friend is looking

that friend into an illness
She must pretend that she likes the
dahlias a friend send her. though she
prefers violets. She must pretend that
she is pleased at the gift of a book of
poems, though she reads only prose.
And she must pretend-oh, such a
tragic number of times-that she is
happy when she is not! She must learn
that this pretense is every woman's
heritage. and that, like Little Dorrit,
she can be of no use unless she prac-
tees it.
