.SNEEZINC TIME
IS HERE AGAIN
Heat and Then Cool BreezeS
Cause Many SOnOrOuS
SneeZeS
THESE ARE BUSY
DAYS FOR DOCTORS

When heat waves and cool breezes
are hobnobbing, with intervals OF
cnly a day or two to separate them,
as is the case just now with VIII
mington. the stacatto snort of the
sneezer is heard
For over 10 days the temperature
registered was up in the high nine
ties. but the torrid spell was broken
and the weather lately has been de-
lightfully cool The indirect results
have been sonorous sneezes.
This is the season. also. for hay
fever. and colds in the head are pre-
valent The drug stores are doing
a rushing business with cough medi-
cines, and some of the local physi-
clans have been forced to forego their
out-of-town trips
For this season Of the year" said
prominent doctor yesterday, there
are more colds in the head and cases
Of hay fever than ! have ever known
before in my experience. The sneeze
/ is the sign of the cold that the germ
/ has already gotten into the system,
and the best thing that the patient
can do when he finds that he is sneez-
ing is to take immediate measures of
! relief"
"Gesundheit" says the German
when his compatriot sneezes. The
expression is part of the folklore of
sneezing. and in this connection there
is a great deal of interesting informa-
ton which may be of benefit to the
"ker-chooer."
The custom of uttering a good wish
! when a person sneezes dates from
the earliest times, and. according TO
| authorities, the habit originated from
a belief among the ancients that dan
| ger attended sneezing. a. being the
| habit in those days for a person TO
offer a short prayer to the gods, such
a. Jupiter, help me- Afterward Il
became the rule for the bystander to
offer prayer. this usually being in
the form of God bless you for the
henefit Of the sneezer A person who
speezed was at that time supposed "a
be under the influence of fairies and
demons. and as the name of God
repelled all evil spirits, the benedic-
ton of God bless you" drove away
demons and counteracted their infiu-
ence
The custom Of saluting the sneezeI
was one which the ancient Greeks
claimed to have derived from Prone.
theus. who stole celestial fire to ami
mate his newly made figure of clay
Tradition asserted that as the fire
permeated its frame the figure
sneezed, which caused Prometheu'
TO invoke blessings on it.
Among the children, although
wishes are not frequently made, thu
superstition is observed in a littl'
! rhyme, which is as follows:
! Once, a wish.
, Twice. a kiss.
Threes a letter.
q Four's something better.
] Five's going away.
. SKIS coming back
Seven's a wedding.
Fights a cake.
Mines marry an old man.

DAILY STRENGTH AND CHEER.
Compiled by John G. Quinius, the
Sunshine Man,
I travelled along a broad highway,
where was so much dust and tumult
that my soul became weary. / looked
often to the right and to the left for
diverging road; but I was hurried
forward by the tumultuous crowd,
and could hardly retain my senses.
Then my Heavenly Friend sought me
IN the throng. led me forth by secret
ways. and brought me into a green
meadow. and by still waters. Ahl
how well it was with me there!

Spends millions
TO keep MILK

Every day the Pennsylvania Rail-
read hauls more than 265,0O0 quarts
os milk and cream into Philadelphia.
Brooklyn, Baltimore and Jersey City
an Increase of $4,000 quarts a day
over a year ago.
Transporting milk so that il
reaches the consumer in the best pos
sible condition is doubtless one of the
principal reasons for this large in
crease in the company's milk traffic.
certainly Il constitutes an invaluable
public service which the railroad per-
forms.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has
spent 100000 for SO refrigerator cars
that are considered the most COM
pletc and practical cars ever con-
structed in this country for handling
milk shipments. They are all-steel.
Maximum protection against con-
tamination Of milk is provided in the
method of refrigeration used In the
GERS Brine tanks in each end of the
car hold a mixture of salt and ice;
they radiate sufficient cold air TO
maintain a temperature of about 40
degrees, which is considered ideal for
the protection of milk. The refrig-
Grafton is absolutely dry. Each of
the cars has a capacity of 10000
Quarts.
Prior to November l. 1911. when
the Pennsylvania Railroad established
the Office of milk agent. the company
hauled no milk to Philadelphia from
points north or west of Harrisburg,

New News Of Yesterday
A Curious Banking
Mystery
By Holland.

Az the time of the war in South
Africa, England bought a vast
amount Of supplies in the United
States and one of the largest items
of her purchases was hay. II was
shipped in enormous amounts to
South Africa. and the commission
merchant, Theodore Huffman. by
whom most of these purchases were
handled and exported. became con
spicuous in business circles because
of the skill and faithfulness with
which he carried on the contracts
with Great Britain
I was chatting recently with Mr.
HUFFMAN and speaking of the enor-
nous amounts of hay and other prod
ucts which he exported for the Brit
ish government In South Africa az
the time of the Boer war.
"Oh, that is a matter of ancient his
J tory" he said. Every detail of it
worked out satisfactorily and the in
cident was closed soon after the ter
mination of the war. But there was
another transaction which occurred
at that time which occasioned mys-
/ terry which ! have never been able
/ TO solve. nor has any one who was
connected with me.
81 had been accustomed for years
/ to buy or to handle on commission
/ large amounts of hay and oats which
were grown In the upper valley of the
Harlem and there purchased by
middleman with whom ! had direct
dealings. Our custom was TO pay GER
fufr fu
to make yearly settlements on the
first of April.
I'm April of the year of the war be-
tween Great Britain and the Beers
made a settlement with this man. The
sum amounted to several thousand
dollars. and ! gave him a check for
the amount TWO months later 7 had
my bank book balanced and my can
celed checks returned was aston
ished to find that I had larger bal
ance by some $4,000 than I supposed
had looked through my cancelled
checks and made comparison with
the stubs In my check book. and then
discovered that the check which I
had given to this middleman had
never been presented at my bank for
collection.
"A few days later I met him and
told him that IL was not good busi-
ness policy for him to carry around
check for two or three months. He
asked me what meant, and ] then
said to him that he should have de-
posted my check Immediately.
ITO my intense astonishment he
told me that he had deposited It in his
own bank, and that he had received
credit for It. I then made inquiries
in my bank and was told that the
check had never been presented fol
collection.
But the curious feature Of the en-
tire transaction was that my custom
er. upon inquiry at his own bank
found that the books showed that tn
check had been made good.
Somewhere between that bank an
my bank, that check disappeared, M
was IL ever discovered. nor did IN
most careful investigation furnis
any clew to IT, Furthermore. tt
books Of my friends bank balance
perfectly.
"Now where did that check go
My friend was paid. and yet / was SO
600 to the good. His bank had bee
4 paid. and yet the check had neve
! been presented at my bank. I hav
: talked 10 bankers about this and the
! have told me that II was the mos
, curious transaction OF the kind q
n which they had knowledge"

The main theme of Rev. Tracey's
