How to Endure a Boil.

When any one gets seriously hurt
we always say he was lucky that he
wasn't killed outright.
A boil on the back of the neck
is a mighty fortunate thing for
man. 1t means that he is pretty GER
tain to get well. If the germs got into
his system without starting the boil,
why, first thing the man would know
he'd be dead from acute blood-pois-
oning. That may sound like Hiber-
nian English but 1t is good Ameri-
can pathology just the same.
The reason why boils are SO fond
of the back of the neck is that the
back of the neck is such an incon-
venient place to get at with soap
and water-and besides it doesn't
show much when a fellow has his
collar on. Celluloid and other self
washing neckware save a great deal
of strain on the shoulder-joints, to
say nothing of toilet soap.
Even though one takes a bath as
often as once a month the skin is
fairly swarming with ordinary sta
phylocci. strepococci, and just cocci
or. in technical terms, the bugs"
that cause matteration. Take a few
million virulent cocci, a reasonably
low state of general vitality or physi-
cal health, and a gentle, yet prolong-
ed rubbing of the skin by the frayed
edge of the shirt-band or any harsh
part OF the clothing. and you have
the makings of a very respectable
boil.
IL Might Be Worse ~ Il was Better.
The process is a sort OF self-vac-
cination. The pus cocci are thorough
ly rubbed into the skin, and the con-
stitution does the rest. As soon as
the white blood corpuscles discover
the invasion they gather in large num-
bers around the seat of battle, and
proceed at once to erect Notifications
TO guard against n general invasion
by the cocci The white cells kill
and eat cocci by the billion at first.
but the cocci have such a rapid birth
rate that the white cells soon tire
OF the task and confne themselves

MONEY TO MOVE CROPS

L of the United States. and his course
in dealing with the crop-moving per-
| iod this year will be guided by the
replies which he receives from the ma
tional banks. His letter to the banks.
under date of June 29th is as follows:
"In order that the treasury depart
ment may determine intelligently to
what extent, il at all IT may be ne
cessary or desirable this season to
deposit government funds in nation
al banks in different sections of the
country to meet the legitimate de-
mands of business due to the move
ment of the crops, or to other COM
mercial causes, / shall greatly appre-
ciate 1t If you will send me prompt
ly answers to the following questions
which are being submitted also to 9TH
er national banks:
"C) Does your bank expect to have
unusual demand for money or credit
within the next six months? If so, for
what purpose or purposes?
"(2) To what extent, in your judg-
ment, will funds be needed in your
immediate section, in addition to what
local banks may be able to supply
conveniently, and normally, from their
own resources or through the usual
accommodations from correspondents!
"(3) During what months between
now and January 1, 1915, will addi-
tional funds, if any, be most need
ed?
go If, in your opinion, it is de-
sirable to deposit public funds, as
was done last year, in the national
banks in certain principal cities of the
different states, please indicate when
and to what extent you think 1t may
desirable to place such funds in the
national banks in the principal cities
in your state, upon the assumption
that the banks in such principal cities
will use such funds, as far as practi-
cable, for the accommodation OF their
country bank correspondents.
"(5) If such deposits should be
made this season, please state when
you think the deposits placed in your
community could be returned conven-
iently to the treasury, indicating the
proportion of the deposits to be re-
turned each month, so that the last
repayments may be made not later
than March 1, 1915.
"(6) What security-commercia
paper, United States bonds or other
bonds-can, with the greatest advan-
tage to general business, and with
safety to the government, be given by
the banks in your section to secure
such government deposits?
while 1t is expected that the fed
eral reserve banks will begin bust
ness in time to assist in moving the
crops this fall, the treasury depart
ment will, nevertheless, be prepared to
help business, to the full extent of
its powers through the proper use of
government funds, If it becomes ap-
parent at any time that such help is
needed in any section of the country"

Harley was greatly disappointed and
angered, not at the girl he loved, but
at her aunt, who had Influenced her.
For two years he kept nursing bis
wrath, which, instead of dying out,
burned continually fiefcer. Meanwhile
he and his former fancee had been
leading their respective classes In
schools of law and were admitted to
practice in the courts. 1t was then
that Harley decided to sue Miss Ascer-

puscles die from over-eating and ex

That from the little seed had grown;
A stencil from every leaf was blown,

Their backs upon the horrid sight;
The three had met with much delight.
With shame their cheeks at parting
