HUMBUGG EDDYTORIJJL

| Now that the roads in and outen
B1ngville is dryin up fast and is
almost passable here and there as
you might say & human inter
course with the outside world has
been resoomed we consider it
our dooty as editor & prop of the
| Bugle to warn our subscribers &
everybuddy else in this community
aginst unscroopu1us persons who
come & go through Bingville tryin
to sell us somethink we don't want
& don't need jest to git our hard
urnd money often us.
From now until next winter
closes in there will be all sorts of
agents & ska1awags and slick
tungd sharpers with new tangled
things to sell come into our midst
SO take this eddytoriul as warnink
and don't have nothir1k to do with
EN-.
Take lightin rods fer instants.
Only last week a Teller from the
co seat sold Eb Simpson four
| lightnin rods to put up onto the
new barn which Eb built last fall.
At LIST Eb told the Teller he did
dent want no 1ightnin rods, being
as there was alreddy a mortgage
on the new barn, & he couldn't af-
| ford EN-, but the Teller told Eb
that his barn was like as not to be
struck by 1ightnin the 1st thunder
storm which come up and burn to
the ground probly, & this scairt Eb
so bad that he purchased the light
min rods & had EN- put up right off
even tho he had to borrer the
money to pay for EN-.
In our opinyun 1ightnin rods is
one of the biggest hu1nbugs which
was ever sold in this community,
& we don't care who knows it. We
have notised that houses & barns
& billings hereabouts which is
got lightnin rods on EN- amt struck
with lightnin emmy moren them
which amt got 1ightnin rods on
EN-. The lightnin rod agent will
tell you that a 1ightnin rod at
tracks 1ightnin, but it don't do
nothink of the kind and we deefy
him to prove it.
It's our hurnbel opinyun that if
1ightnin makes up its mind to
strike house or a barn its going
to strike it 1ightnin rod or no
lightnin rod. AS fur as lightnin
rods attracting 1ightnin they be a
de1ooshion & a snare
It's the same way with fire in
shoorance which we don't take no
stock in neither. We are aware
| that Anne IIillyer, our loryer, leg

gal light, ]. of the P & notary
Publick, is also in the fire in
shoorance bizness, but we cant
help that-our 1st dooty is to our
subscribers and if Anne rants and
raves when he reads this he'll haft
to rant & rave & git over it.
The reason Anne is in favor of
fire inshoorance is becuz he has
fire inshoorance to sell and makes
a doller profit outen it now and
then and that's all he cares about.
1t has been our observashion that
folks in Bingville who has in
shoored their property aginst fires
don't never have no fires and what
is the result? Why the result is
that they go on & on paying fire
inshoorance premiums yr after yr
and don't git nothink back for it,
that the result In other words its
all a goin out & nothink cor11i1I in.

Sam All 0uten PaShientS

The infant child of Mr. & Mrs. Sam
Slocomb had severe attack of the col
lick night before last. Mrs. Slocomb
had been cleaning house all day and was
all logged out and tired SO she orderd
Sam ii cline outen bed and take the
baby up and carry it up and down the
hall for spell to see if that wouldn't
help it some.
After Sam had logged the baby for
two hours with it hollerin & yellin as
loud as it could it got kind of nonot-
onous to Sam espeshially as his wife
was s1eepin soundly while he tramped
the floor so he woked up his wife and
told her what he thort of her. Then
Mrs. Slocomb told Sam what she thort
of him and said it ort to be a pleasure
& a privilege to lug his own child es-
peshially when it was sick. Sam says
the kid diddent let UP hollern until
nearly daylight and being it was
then time to git up he staid up.

No Big Story This Wk.

Our subscribers will notis that we

during the past wk & and as result
there amt none in.
Sometimes big events like this hap
pens & sometimes they don't. Why is
this? Anser-We don't know why it is
all we know is its SO.
Perhaps by the time next wk rolls
around there will be some big skanda1
or other happen that will ockupi a whole
collum or two in the Bugle. Watch next
wks Bugle and see if this turns out as
we perdickt or not.
We will take it very kindly if emmy
buddy hearing of emmy big event will
inform us of same so that we can write
it up and give our subscribers the adj
vantage of the news in these columns
If more folks done this there would be
more news in the Bugle from time to

Why Men Eat More Than Women

That men eat per cent or per
cent more than women-not because
they are gluttons, but because they
actually require that much more
nourishment-appe as the result
Of an investigation made in the nu.
triton laboratory of the Carnegie
institute at Washington, D. C. The
reason for the discrepancy seems to
be that women have smaller proper
ton of active tissue than men of the
same weight, and more inactive ma
terial. such as fat. The investigation
disclosed that the average woman
generates only 1885 heat units in the
"a hours. as against 1888 produced
by the man. or about per cent more
for the latter per pound of body
weight. When groups we're compared,
after careful selection of individuals
of nearly the same height and weight,
the men were found to produce about
IL per cent more heat than the won.
en-. The investigators vigorously ex.
cluded athletes from their compari.
sons, dealing only with nonathletic
men and women of the same height
and same weight

Nursery Notes.

Many young babies have a high
fever with cold. Nurse says to con-
troll the fever and make the child
more comfortable alcohol sponge
baths should be given. These may be
repeated every three or four hours IL
they soothe the baby.
One tablespoonful of alcohol in a
small basin of tepid wafer is the cor
rect proportion The baby's head and
his entire body should be bathed with
a washcloth dipped in this solution.
Keep the child in room fun of
fresh air and sunshine, but not a draft.
The food should be at once diluted to
at least one-haff its usual strength.
In the case of an older child, only
fluids should be given milk. broths
and thin Cruel are the best to choose
from.
