GOOD FOR THE Willy EDITOR
Some Method in His instructions az
to How One Might Achieve
Long Life.

The famous writer for the Belt Line
series of yellow journals and author
of magazine stories and popular lee
\ lures, whose name was household
word, sat him down in response to q
passionate demand from 100000
readers and wrote the following:
MY RULES FOR LONG LIFE.
I am seventy-five years OF age and
have married and successfully gotten
rid of four wives, and never have had
a days illness. Anyone can do as |
have done by observing the following
rules:
Eat plenty of bananas.
Drink plenty of pure distilled bot.
tied water between meals.
Wear linen underwear.
Rub the body dry with horsehair
mitts twice day.
Breathe deeply through any good
breathing tube.
Don't worry.
Then, having sent q bill for advertis-
ing to the banana trust, the bottle
trust, the linen underwear trust. the
horsehair mitt trust, the breathing
tube trust and the Don't Worry Pub
fishing company, he went out to take
much-needed auto ride.-Life.

TELLS RIGHT WAY TO COUGH
Physicians Directions Would Certain
Iy Prevent One Becoming Nui-
sancc to Companions.

The following directions as to how
to cough are given by a physician in
the Journal of the Outdoor Life: :
Fold your handkerchief so that it is
about five inches square. Place it fat
in the right hand, if you are right
handed, and with this hand hold it
tightly over the mouth. Press the
hand on the mouth, as to hold it
loosely over the mouth will not ac-
complish the purpose Now instead of
coughing and trying to muffle the
sound in your throat or mouth, muffle
it with your handkerchief. Practice
it until a person ten feet away can
not hear you.
The sound made in coughing is due
partly to air passing over the vocal
cords, partly to air going through the
bronchial tubes and trachea, and part
1y to the resonance produced in the
chambers above the trachea This
sound can be almost wholly avoided
and the irritation to the lungs and air
passages prevented by keeping the air
passages open and letting your hand
kerchief do the muifling. Now instead
of expelling 100 cubic inches OF air at
each expiration, you will expel
smaller amount, with more comfort to
yourself and to those around you and
with much less harm to your lungs"

Now Practice "safety Flrst.u

A delegation Of indignant women
once waited upon the head of trolley
company,
You must lower the steps Of your
cars at least three inches" said the
spokeswoman firmly. ''They are much
loo high. 1t is almost impossible for
us to reach them. Our lives are en-
dangered"
Certainly" said the head Of the
trolley company, and he gave orders
that the steps should be lowered.
When the work was completed-the
company operated several thousand
cars-the president informed the WON.
en- that he had complied with their
wishes and hoped that the revised
steps would prove satisfactory :
"Oh, thank you." they replied, "but
1t doesn't matter now, really. The
fashion in skirts has changed. They
arc now made full"

cars designed by a topnotch Paris
modiste.-Puck.

Chopin and eeoroe Sand.

With regard to George Sand, A. B.
Walkley, the English critic, writes:
'The mixture of passion and printers g
ink in the lady's composition is surely
one of the most curious blends ever
offered to the palate Of an epicure.
'Dut it was blend that gave the

affair with Chopin"
AS Prince Karol, George Sand took
no trouble to conceal the great COM

were still together, her children said
to him:

.crecia? Mamma has put you in it. /"

oranae Peel as a Laxative.

The Lancet quotes from Rosenthal
the following recipe for a very simple
laxative: Fresh orange peel is boiled
for half an hour in water This first
very bitter infusion is thrown away
or utilized for washing or for the
teeth The peel is then boiled Sec
7ond time for 80 minutes in slightly
ssugared water and afterward spread
-out to dry. It is then ready for use.
The peel Of single orange is suf-
fioient to produce the desired effect,
;and this is accompanied by flow Of
bile of variable amount, and this bill
ary activity continues for several
hours.
