OF the Cretau men;
One point about the figures OF these
men. he says. as Of all the mountain

their waists. which In some cases are
almost waspllke. IL is interesting e
observe that this has always been q

Cost of Ice
Reduced

Even if it isn't so hot as it will be during
dog days now is the time to buy a refrigerator
During house cleaning and when getting ready
for the summer look over your old ice box
and if you need new one pick it out and have
il installed.
An old refrigerator or one to small for the
family needs costs in one summer in
waste than the price of new one.
The price of ice you know is more than
il used TO be but do you know that the new
up-to- date refrigeratorS made that they
don't use anywhere near as much ice as the
old kind The way to lower the price of ice
is to buy one of our new refrigerators.
If we don't happen to have just the kind or
size you want there will be time to order it
and have it here in season, while If you wait
until sunstroke weather comes along you may

THE SANITARY KISS.

DR.. William F. Snow has the
floor.
Hear him! ....
He is the Secretary of the Amer
lean Hygiene Association, and he
is just back from Washington
where he went to secure a patent
on his new Sanitary Kiss. y
Having secured his patent, and
made evrything safe and sanitary
he now proposes to put it on the
market at so much per smack.
If your mouth is watering for
one of the new kisses, you go af
ter it something like this:
First, find somebody you want
to kiss, and who is willing to un-
dergo the ordeal with you.
Next, cut out square Of tissue
paper.
Subject it to a bath in sanitary
solution.
Place it over the mouth.
Then:
KISS.
But don t wear out the paper or
break through.
If one paper is used several
times during a moonlight evening,
you must take care not to change
sides with it. That would mix the
two sets of germs and the result
might be fatal.
1t will probably become very
fashionable now for young men
to go around with their pockets
full Of little squares of tissue pa.
per. I look for the market in tis
sue paper to have boom and the
price to suddenly rise on account
of the great demand. Get in youl
order early, before the price goes
up.

Woodpile had better be careful
how he tries to get the war stop

A SERMON ON THE DEVIL.

we nave always Hedru tIldC
there was devil, and
there must be some truth
in the report. Various ru-
mors have been circulated about
the old fellows personal appear
ance and manners, as we'll as the
location Of his place Of business,
but nobody seems to know exact
ly the straight Of it. Perhaps the
testimony Of Esq. Job, a leading
citizen and Justice Of the Peace
in the county of Uz, is about as
reliable as anything on the mar
Iket. Hear him:
Now there was a day when the
sons Of God came to present them
selves before the Lord, and Satan
came also among them. And the
Lord said unto Satan, Whence
.comest thou?' Then Satan an
swered the Lord and said, From
going to and fro in the earth, and
from walking up and down in
it.
And so the devil goes in good
company and wears store clothes
He is also a member Of the meet

the Amen Corner. [ have ever
known him to occupy the pulpit
and the way he can preach takes
all the starch out Of the theologic

And the devil is a keen poll
tician. He belongs to the Redemo
can party and runs for Office a
every election. And he Away
gets elected. The devil is per
petual ofice-holder and is neve
out Of a job. He owns nearly al
the politics Of the world, and near
ly all the religion. He frowns Of
us, and we tremble. He gives or
ders and we obey. He makes ou
a ticket and we vote it. That s al
the sense we We got.
If a good man enters polite
the devil sets all the political dog
on him and tears him to pieces
And if an honest party hangs ou
it's sign on the political highway
the devil trains all the artillery c

THE WAR DID TT ALL

Woodpile Wilson s uncle, up in
New Jersey, has got a bad rising
on the back Of his neck. The doc
tor who is attending on the old
man says the rising is the direct
result Of the European war.
One of William Jawbone Bry
ans best Jersey COWS died on his
Nebraska farm last Thursday ev-
ening. No blame attaches to the
Democratic party, as it is we'll
known that the war caused the
cows death.
While dressing for a White
House reception two weeks ago
yesterday, Senator Williams, OF
Mississippi, swallowed bone col
lar-button, which lodged in his
wind-pipe and has given him a
good deal Of trouble ever since.
The matter was referred to the
Senate Committee on Foreign AT
fairs and it was soon discovered
that the war caused the accident
While on his way home from
early mass at St. Pats Cathedral
last Sunday morning, President
Tumulty lost two finger bones OF

Lincoln pennies was stolen from

caused him to do it.
An old fisherman friend in Nor
folk, Virginia, writes The Fool
Killer that the fish are not as ia
this fall as common. He says it
undoubtedly due to the war.
