Catching Flies Pays We'll.

Catching flies is affording a Shreve- port Ha,) man a profitable and inde- pendent living. He sells them to the city board of health. His name is Bartsch, and his net revenue from the fly industry for the first two days of a recent week was $2420 When the health board began offering premiums for the flies, dead or alive, Bartseh purchased about 100 traps and placed them in tiy-ridden sections of the city Then he began making inroads on the health boards exchequer, and so well did he operate that he bore the market price down from 50 cents to 20 cents a quart, for 1t is by that measure that the board purchases. Bartsch Is still working, and he will work as long as the treasury holds out He finds fly catching pays.

HEAD A MASS OF PIMPLES

Hyattsville, Md-"My little boy was taken with an itching on the scalp. There was an ashy place on his head about the size of a ten-cent piece, and the hair was falling from this place by the roots. In about ten days all over his head were these ashy spots which looked like ringworm, but were porous-like The itching and burning made him scratch a great deal His head had gotten so that it was just a mass of mattery little pimples all heaped on each other, and when took off his night-cap, the hair and flesh came off at the same time I really thought he would lose his whole scalp. He couldn't sleep for five weeks, 1t would itch and burn until I thought be would go into convulsions.
 q used different soaps and salves to no satisfaction. Then l decided to use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment Finally I noticed he began to sleep all night. I used one cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Oint- ment and he was entirely cured. He has better growth of hair now than he had at first" {Signed) Mrs. Ida s. Johnson. Mar. 26, 1912.

NO NEED TO HOLD PHONE"
Sound Magnifying Trumpet Which Will Tell You When 1t Is Time
 to Talk.

There Is a sound magnifying trum- pet of fiat shape, behind which is 8 small attachment intended to support the telephone receiver. When 1t be- comes necessary to hold the line, when calling up or replying, instead of the person standing with the receiver glued to his ear he places the receiver upon the time saver, bringing the ear piece into position with the sound magnifier. He is then at liberty to resume his duties until such time as the person required at the opposite end attends his instrument.
 This is notified by the speech trans hitter being magnified by the time saving device so as to be perfectly audible at distance. The receiver may then either be withdrawn and held to the ear in the usual way, or left in connection with the magnifier, hearing being quite as simple and easy as under normal conditions. An other advantage of the invention is that the users two hands are left free to carry out any other requisite task, such as the turning up of documents, making references, writing down mes sages or instructions from dictation, and so on

London is the most conservative city in Europe, if not in the world It loves it's lumber. You may still see those notices attached to lamp posts which announces Standing for Four Hack ney Carriages, or whatever the num- Der may be. though for ten years Gin one case, to my own knowledge for twenty-five) no vehicles of any kind have stood there. Perhaps 1t is as we'll that these relics should remain; they are tiny part of our social history They will probably remain when we are flying to dinner or the theater in omni-aeros. By that time people won't know what hackney carriage" meant, and there will be discussions in the Notes and Queries" of the period For each generation hands down to the next certain nuts to crack

EneIand's Oldest Bowling Green.

Which Is our oldest recreation? There are not wanting archeologists who profess to be able to trace refer ences to football and baseball on Egyptian moral tablets, However, when it comes to actual records, the fine old English game of bowls would appear to be as old as any.
 Southampton. Eng, has records showing that one of the local bowling greens was in existence in 1929.
 Many interesting customs are asso- ciated with the game on this historic green. Every summer a fire jack competition is held and an order Of knighthood is conferred on the win ner, who kneels in the center of tho green while the other players gather round him and the master touches him with a sword and dubs him Sir.

BOILED EGGS BETRAY THEM
Nationality of Diners Is Shown In Their Various Methods of
 Eating.

Sherlock Holmes might have figured this out, but he did not!
 The average EDe'f A will al ways deman' boiled just three min .u ne places it in an egg cup, just large enough to have the egg fit 1t, taps the top of the shell. and removes the broken shell with his fingers The egg is eaten a spoonful at time.
 A Frenchman, much like the Eng lishman, likes his eggs of three min utes. exactly. He then "peels" them, places them in glass, stirs and mixes we'll together with salt, pepper and butter. He makes practice of dipping bread into the mixture, and eating it along with the eggs.
 A Spaniard wouldn't think of letting his egg boil more than one minute He then breaks it, and lets the con- tents run into a glass, and consumes 1t as if he were drinking a glass of wine.
 An egg Is only fit in an Italian estimation when 1t has been placed in cold water, and removed just as the water begins to boil. He then breaks it, pours 1t on plate, and proceeds to sop 1t with bread.
 The German, like the Italian, de- mands his eggs as near the liquid state as possible. He breaks his eggs in an unsightly cup, and scoops the liquid out as if it were soup.
 The American is about the only one who prefers his eggs boiled hard. When they are served up to him, he knifes them in half, removes the con tents into glass, after which he adds a plentiful supply of pepper, but. ter and salt. He then minces the eggs fine, mixing them well with the spices, and eats them with his toast

MEAT SUBSTITUTES.

Beans of different kinds are rich foods and may be made into most pal atable dishes. Soak a pint of lima beans over night in cold water to cover. Drain and cook in boiling salt ed water until soft. Again drain and dry in towel, then saute in butter until brown. Turn into a hot serving dish and pour over one and a half cups of tomato sauce: Cook a quart can of tomatoes with two slices of onion, eight pepper corns and a bit of bay leaf fifteen minutes, then rub through a puree strainer. Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter add three ta- blespoonfuls of four and stir until we'll blended, then pour on gradually until well blended, the tomato; bring to the boiling point. and if the toma toes are very acid add pinch of soda.

 Eggs in all combination are B c for a hearty dish. and when combined with rice or macaroni are we'll bal anced food Add five or six hard cooked eggs. with flavoring of cheese, to two cupfuls of cold cooked macaroni; butter the baking dish and put the macaroni and egg in layers; add sufficient white sauce and season ing, and cover with buttered crumbs and bake A bit of onion juice i'm proves the dish.
 Macaroni and cheese is another fla vorite dish Rice and cheese and fresh mushrooms are most delicious.
 People are beginning to put more study on mushrooms and learn few varieties on which they may depend In the using of mushrooms "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" "so be sure you're right, then go ahead.
