awaits straying drivers is that It will

trifles to be overcome.
The longest hole will be tho 11th. It

That night 1000 men and boys waited
outside the park, and the police had to
escort Grubb to the street car. A sensa-
tional evening paper, which had headed
the campaign against Grubb, printed a
savage attack upon him, in which It was
limited that the manager had thrown the
game, in order to revenge himself upon
the town.
Grubb, whose nerves were in rags read
this article. 1t was the finishing touch.

called out of his bed to answer the tele-
phone. He was informed that his man.

overwrought nerves had given way under

DouslE-sARRELEp NOSE.

Do you know how to blow your
nose? Winter is here with it's nasal
disturbances, and if you do not know
how to blow your nose as it should
be blown you may learn from a
writer in the New York Medical Re
view. This doctor has, he says, spe-
cialized in nose and throat disease for
over thirty years, and in this extern
sive practice has not seen twenty
five patients who knew now to blow
their noses properly unless they had
been previously taught. He says that
the failure is responsible for over Is
percent of the cases of catarrh. Many
cases of deafness are caused by I'M
proper nose-blowing.
ITO blow the nose properly" saws
this authority, lit is best to look at
1t as double-barreled shotgun; the
nose as the muzzle of the gun, the
chest as the air receiver. the mucus
in the nose as the bullets and the
charge. A deep inspiration to fill the
chest with air. then one finger is
placed upon the ala of one nostril to
obstruct the passage. With one yio-
lent expiration the air from the chest
is forced through the open chamber
Of the nose and the offending dis
charge is caught by the handkerchief
This maneuver is repeated on the op-
posite side. 1t is a simple mechani-
cal process and one that I have point
ed out before, but is seldom known.
We have our toothbrush drill in the
public schools, why not the nose
drill1 II it were instituted and the
pupils taught the proper use of the
little piece of linen, catarrh would
be diminished, ear cases would be
less common and the germs that first
find their way into the anatomy
through the nostril would be expelled
before they had time to find sleep
ing place in the human network"

WHY MEN wEAR our.

Why are SO many men dropping
out at SO when they should have al
least twenty years more of active
productive life?
Because most men are weraing Out
the physical machine at too fast q
rate by the strain and worry incident
to modern economic conditions; by
the misuse of stimulants of all kinds,
by insufficient exercise and faulty
elimination and by irregular and in
sufficient sleep.
At the time when most men who
commit these excuses believes them
selves to be in tine best of health. the
germs of preventable disease are co
operating with this neglect to break
down the human machine.
"A prominent life insurance COM
pany has found that 43 percent of its
rejected applicants gave evidence OF
diseases of heart, kidney and arteries
brought about by wrong living. The
company also found that about 43 per
cent of it's recorded deaths were due
to like causes.

cate the trend OF the times. The
average merchant pays his help

counts within ten or twenty days III
order to get the discount What
success would he meet with If the
public became permeated with the
idea that an annual 'pay-up" day was
the proper business procedure? Such
a scheme might create the impression
in the mind of the good account"
that there was no urgent need to meet
an obligation. The plan don't appeal
to us. OF course it is better to get
paid once year than not at all, but
there is serious danger that the mer-
chant might be misunderstood or TAX
en- advantage Of We much prefer
to support plan that will nearer ap,
proach the cash basis, and under
such plan we believe there will be
a more prosperous and happier class
OF both merchants and customers.
We think the question is one that
should receive the serious considera-
alton of the Retailers League before
it is adopted.

YOUR SHARE OF WATER.

Statistics are never dry when they
concern familiar things. For instance,
everybody likes to know that about
one-fourth of the inhabitants of the
United States use 139 gallons of water
per person daily. These are the resi-
dents of the 155 cities with a popu-
lation of over $4,000 which have
municipality owned water systems.
1t is likewise interesting to note
that the people of Tacoma. Wash.
use 430 gallons of water per capita
daily. while the folks in Woonsecket,
r. l., manage to get along on "a gal
Ions apiece.
This extraordinary difference in
consumption makes a good gauge of
mans capacity for economy-when it
is forced upon him. In i acoma only
8 percent of the water is metered, in
Woonsocket SO percent is paid for by
measure.
For those who IKE figures, here is
a big one: During the year a total
of 1926. OPS, 100000 gallons of water
enough to spread pond 16 inches
deep over the state of Connecticut
is supplied to the 155 cities above re-
ferred to. Figures for the state of
Iowa after January 1 will have TO
be revised.
