Electricity SuppIants Towels.

Drying the hands by means of a cur
rent of warm air is modern sanitary
device recently installed in a Wash
ington office building The electric
hand drier is an upright cabinet about
three feet high. An opening at the
top, over which the hands may be
held, gives egress to current OF air
blown from within, and controlled by
a lever operated by the foot When
the lever is depressed, the electric
current is switched on the blower, and
the air is forced through a heating
coil, which brings it to a proper tenn
perature, says Popular Mechanics.
Thirty seconds is all the time required
for the drying process, and the cost
per hundred pairs of hands is just one
halfpenny.

Avoiding the Commonplace.

1t was gray winter afternoon; in
fact, the street lamps were being
lighted-the time known as entire
CHEN ct loup, when colors are undis-
tinguishable. The hurried customer
rushed into the ready-made clothing
establishment and explained to the
obliging proprietor that he wished to
hire a black suit to wear at a funeral
on the morrow. The next morning the
mourner brought back the suit with
maledictions on his lips. Il hired this
suit for black one last night" he
cried, "and when l got it into the day
light, blessed if it wasn't blue one!
And l told you l wanted it for fu-
neral, tool" well, sir" said the
philosophic and Semitic proprietor
don't you know that there's nothing
SO ordinary at funeral as black?"

Maybe 1t HAPPENED,

A shabby-looking man and a thin
little shaver of boy were standing
with their backs against a wall along
the public way. The man had shade
over his eyes and a card hung in front
of him, bearing the legend, Blind and
Deaf"
The boy had smile on his face as
he listened to the street organ over
the way playing "Everybody's Doing
IT, and then started involuntarily to
whistle the chorus.

Pat, who was in lodgings, was

and when Pat came home she said:
Pat, I am taking a little of your
butter, but I'm not like other land

Next day it was an egg, and SO on.
Every day there was something taken
and put off with the same remark:
I'm not like other landladies-I'm
telling you"
Of course there was never any re-
duction in Pats bill. One Saturday
his bill came to larger amount than
usual. Pat looked at it, bundled up a
few things in his handkerchief, walked
to the door and said

NEW IDEA
Helped Wisconsin Couple.

1t doesn't pay to stick too closely
to old notions of things. New ideas
often lead to better health, success
and happiness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea
new to them and stepped up several
rounds on the health ladder. The
husband writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless, nerv-
Gus, sallow, weak and irritable. My
wife and I both loved coffee and
thought it was bracer." (Delusion.)
Finally, after years of suffering, we
read of Postum and the harmfulness
of coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention 70 new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
When we made it right we liked
it and were free of ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the
ehange-fresher skin, sturdier nerves,
better temper, etc.
These changes were not sudden,
but increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
MANY of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make it right. But when they made
Postum according to directions on
pkg, they liked it better than coffee
and were benefited by the change"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to
MELVILLE" in pkgs.
Postum now comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well
boiled. 15c and Csc packages.

Gallant MANOR

From small provincial town in the
north Of Italy comes an amusing little
story. Queen Helena was visiting the
town, to attend the unveiling of a
statue of Victor Emanuel.
After the mayor of the town had
made an elaborate speech of welcome,
he handed the queen a glass of cham
payne, and asked to be allowed to
drink her health. AS their glasses
clinked, a drop of champagne fell up
on the queens gown. She opened her
pocketbook to take out her handker-
chief, but the gallant mayor was not
to be caught on any point of, etiquette.
"You majesty" he exclaimed, grand
ly, there is no need of that! Every
thing is already paid for. Youths

Water-Proofi,,q Concrete.

The United STATES engineers have

water-proofing cement: One part ce
ment, two parts sand, three-quarters
pounds of dry powdered alum to each
cubic foot of sand. Mix dry and add
water in which has been dissolved
three-Quarters pound of soap to each
gallon. This is nearly as strong as
ordinary cement, and is quite imper
vious to water besides preventing eff.

of one pound of I've and two pounds
alum in two gallons of water is Otter
