Incraasa Of Apnandicitis.

Doctor Mayo Of Rochester, Minn.,
points out the interesting fact that
within the past five years operations
for appendicitis have increased over
three hundred per cent and he says that
this alarming condition is due to the
practise Of wearing bets instead of
suspenders. Now since all women
wear belts---or what corresponds to
belts. only more so---one would expect
to find appendicitis particularly rife
among the fsir six. Is that 50?
There is q growing belief that the
increased number of operations for ap
pendicitis is due to an increased medi-
cal recognition of gold mine that car
be successfully worked. Conceal from
your doctor the fact that you are in
possession Of 800 and he will not rec,
ommend an operation for appendicitis.

you look cheap and pitiful, even if you
are rich and proud Of your ignorance.
One of the tragedies of life is to have
the soul dragged down By mere bodily
existence. Most people need to take a
rigid course in mental and spiritual
fasting. It would clear the moral at

It is never q safe rule to bank on q

much deeper than the matter Of gene

does not know it, but the man who

Umes at the cabarets. And the more
she thought of it the more irksome
became her switchboard.
Last night "Princie" came to the
girl and asked her to tell her mother
she was going to dinner with a girl
friend and then they would go out for
. a good time. .
And the girl, to whom such treats
didn't come very often, was strong
for the idea.
Then ''Princie' introduced her to
two Of her mice gentlemen friends"
One said his name was Harry Gar
rett. He told the girl about the nice
cafe he owned somewhere. The 9TH
er was Robert Thompson, who pro-
claimed himself an actor.
They did have good time-for
awhile. First, there was a diner at
the Planters Hotel Then they went
to the Congress Hotel, and after
that they went other places where
the music was loud and drinks came
quickly.
Then the gentlemen friends saw
them home. The telephone girl was
to spend the night with ''Princie" be-
cause it was so late and mother
would have a fit"
The fellows left them at the hotel.
And the girl failed to catch the sig
nifcant wink which they gave at
"Princie" when they left.
After the girls had gotten up to
''Princie's'' room the telephone oper-
ator took a bath. When she. came
out she was astounded to See Thomp-
son and Garrett in the room with
half their clothes of. ''Princie" was
lying across the bed. The evening
had been. too much.
One Of the men started to grab the
girl. She began screaming hysteri-
cally. The men grasped her and tried
to stop her. Then "Princie" began
moaning. Just why hasn't been found
out.

POSTAL SAVINGS DOPE

The pOstOfice department sends in
the following:
The effect of the European war on
postal savings deposits in the United
States is noticeable to a marked de-
gree. Many postoffice patrons who
we're formerly in the habit of sending
their savings abroad through the
medium Of the international money
order service are, now patronizing
Uncle Sans savings system, as is
shown by unusual gains in deposits
throughout the country. Chicago has
just set unique record by report
ing a larger gain in deposits for July,
August and September than for the
entire preceding year. During the
three months the net gain was S521,-
339, bringing the total amount on de-
post up to $2,827,271. 7,116 new ac-
counts we're opened during that Pc
Rod, increasing the number Of de-
positors to q, 659, each of whom has
an average balance to his credit of
$131. Chicago stands second in the
list of American cities ranked by
postal savings deposits. B."
