IRRITABILITY A WARNING.
One of Natures Danger SiSnals Ina
 Chr,,fl R~ AAadad

One of Natures Danger Signals That
 Should Be Heeded.
 Are you unduly quick tempered? De you find yourself, on slight provocation giving vent to petty Outbursts of an ger? Are you constantly nagging, fault finding and complaining?
 If chronic irritability is one of your characteristics it Is important for you to recognize that fact. For irritability Is always a danger signal. It points to the presence of conditions which may be disastrous to you unless reme- dies.
 In particular. irritability means that your nervous system Is out of gear. This may be the result of either phys ical or mental causes, or combination of both. Usually both physical and mental causes enter in to intensity one another's harmful effects.
 Thus the commonest of all causes of nervous disturbance is worry. Worry, as Is known, interferes with all the bodily functions. It is especially dam aging in its influence on the digestion.
 When the food is not properly digest ed the nervous system is poorly nour- ished and severely strained. It is also In some degree poisoned by the circula- ton in the blood of substances which would otherwise have been removed by the eliminative organs.
 All this causes a nervous tension that may express itself in chronic ''grouchi- ness" or in frequent attacks of bad temper. These attacks in their turn cause increased weakening of the di- gestive powers
 What is needed to cure both the in digestion and the irritability is the cul- tivation of an optimistic attitude. The tendency to worry, look on the dark side of things, must be overcome.-H. Addington Bruce in Kansas City Star.

NATURE AND THE MICROBE.
How the Nose and the Stomach Fight
 Disease Germs.

How the Nose and the Stomach Fight Disease Germs.
 The thoughtful reader will say
 "Surely, in the battle of man against microbe there must be some natural means of defense by which men have
 conquered in the past, long before the microscope was invented" He is right, and science Is never better employed
 than in studying these natural de lenses. For example, we find no mi crobes at all in air just after 1t passes through the healthy nose. The nose Is the original domestic filter" for all microbes in dust in the air. Its se- cretions are antiseptic also, and man has no more valuable outwork of de fense than a normal nose. A choked nose, throuSh which a person cannot breathe, mems that microbes enter the lungs freely by way of the filterless mouth.
 In the stomach we find free hydro chloric acid, produced some half hour or less after a meal. Its production from the common salt, or sodium chlo- ride, of the blood by the living cells that line the stomach is one of the wholly inimitable feats of the body. Until re- gently most of us thought that the hy- drochloric acid was formed in the stom- ach solely in order to digest food, but now we have evidence to show that this hydrochloric acid is also a valuable antiseptic, working, for once, inside the body without hurting it and prob ably often saving us from the microbes of consumption and typhoid fever.
 Thus the two great avenues of entry to the body are in a large degree guard ed. It may be added that no known microbe can, unaided, penetrate the surface of the unbroken and healthy skin.-Dr. c. W. Saleeby in Youths Companion.

Home Proof, Here, There and

When you see Doan's Kidney Pills recommended in this paper you most always find the recommender a Staf- ford Springs resident. It's the same everywhere-in $500 towns in the U. s. Forty thousand people publicly thank Doan's. What other kidney remedy can give this proof of merit,
 honesty and truth? Home testimony must be true or it could not be pub lished here. Read this Stafford Springs recommendation Then in- sist on having Doan's. You will know what you are getting.
 Mrs. William Irons, Furnace Ave- |, Stafford Springs, says: "One of cur familys.was bothered by the back and kidneys. This trouble continued for long time until we fortunately
 heard about Doan's Kidney Pills and procured supply at the Eaton Drug Store This remedy brought prompt relief and since then there has been no cause for complaint.

When cool stir in the beaten whites of three eggs, and flavor with wintergreen. Bottle cool. Use two tablespoonfuls of this In glass nearly full of water.

EVOLUTION OF SHORTHAND.
Modern Stenosraphy Had It's Start In
 the Time of Cicero.

the Time of Cicero.
 To the average person the idea of shorthand writing is generally consid- cred as being modern, because of the rapidity with which 1t has been intro duced into business life in this coun- try. This is not the case, however for history traces the use of a similar art with definiteness back to the time of Cicero. about 70 B. c. The invention Is sometimes credited to Cicero and sometimes to his secretary, Tullius Tiro.
 Nothing seems to be known of any other system of shorthand during the Greek or Roman ascendency nor for fifteen centuries afterward. The first of the noted systems at the beginning of the present era of shorthand was that of Timothy Bright, whose treatise was dedicated to Queen Elizabeth. In 1900 Peter Bales brought out a system similar in some respects to Bright's, but which was difficult to memorize.
 The next system to indicate progress appeared twelve years later, by John Willis, which was called '"The Art of Stenography or Short Writing by Spell ing Characterize" Then came Edward Willis, Jeremiah Rich, William Mason, Thomas Gurney, as we'll as many oth- CTS. All of these systems had many defects, and the entire idea was reju- venated when in the early part of the nineteenth century Isaac Putnam, who afterward was knighted, presented his system, which is still in use and which has been the foundation for most of the systems now practiced.-Exchange.
