See that little ding-a-ling on the
robins head? It's a little mental
telepathy wireless feather called the
Areezee RazOO. AS soon as a worm
starts thinking his thought waves
vibrate until they run into the Aree-
zee RazOO. Then, Herman, the robin
traces the waves to their source and
puts his nose down in Mr.. Worms
domicile and drags him out and tells
the worm that there's more money
in being an interior decorator than a
miner. Since the worm has to start
thinking before the robin can find
him, we figure out that if wrestlers
were worms, all the robins would
starve to death.

She dwelt in the happiness of igno-

Then one day the city teller came,
Just like in Way Down East"
And Tidy went away.
And the old folks used to sit around

To hum,
And wonder and wonder what Tidy

And thus it was for seven long sum-

And seven exceedingly chilly winters.

1t Is a Monitor That Registers your
Physical Condition.
One of the first things a doctor does
when he Is called to a patient Is to
look into his mouth. That is because
it is the quickest and easiest way to
examine an internal cavity of the body
and observe the signs of health or dis
ease there displayed. The mouth Is
lined with mucous membrane, which Is
quickly affected by many disorders.
and the tongue, which is simply a mass
of muscle wrapped up in mucous men,
brane, Is a veritable horizontal guide
post.
Since 1t Is a muscle its general size
and shape and its susceptibility to
proper control inform the physician of
the muscular condition of the patient.
and the state of the mucous membrane
that covers it indicates the general
systemic condition. A person who suf-
fers from fever of any degree will
generally show a "furred" tongue. The
word graphically describes the condi-
ton. and it is not necessary to be a
physician In order to recognize 1t.
In a long continued fever like ty-
phoid the fur accumulates until the
tongue Is covered with a thick. brown
mass that shades off to a lighter tint
at the edges. In scarlet fever the
tongue Is often covered with a white
fur dotted with little red points. That
Is called the wberry" tongue.
uThan thu rfar,oah f5 ho div aftf nf ann
dition the tongue shows a thick white
or brown fur, and those who are suffer
ing from tonsilitis or from any other
Inflammation of the throat may show a
layer of thick, creamy white fur all
over the tongue. Sometimes when the
patient is much exhausted the tongue
will not be furred. but dry, red and
raw.
Thrush consists of small white
patches raised above the surface and.
although not serious In itself, generally
shows that the constitution is weak.
One strange thing about the tongue
Is that, although 1t so often betrays the
state of the stomach to the physician.

tongue is generally very clean.
The tongue in health is always under
the muscular control of its owner and
should be perfectly steady when 1t is
put OUT. A tremulous tongue denotes
weakness. and the tongue that is coat

that grows steadier through the day.

On the sleep of Tuesday, 21st Sun,
the degree team of Nokomis Council,
No. 81, d. of P, accompanied by a
number OF members, hit the trail TO the
hunting grounds of Cape May Court
House, to give the Adoption Degree to
the members of Silver Arrow Council,

institute upon thatsleep. The institute
ing chiefs were Great Pocahontas Cath
crime V. Mason, of Lakewood; Great
Keeper of Records Lila w. Thompson,

Cecilia Erdmann, of Pleasantyille, as
sisted by Past P~ocahontases Helen

gree team of Nokomis Council.
Deputy Great P~ocahontas Elizabeth
Rakestraw also had a part in the cere-
mony.
Silver Arrow Council, No. go, vas
instituted with about fifty charter
members, and promises to be the pan
ner Council of South Jersey. The men,
bcrs are very enthusiastic, and are
some of the best people of Cape May
Court House.
A number of attempts have been
made in the past to organize a woman's
order in this community without sue
cess, but through the untiring
efforts of P. P. Annie Heritage, sister
Bell Taylor and Sarah Fort, and P. P.
Helen Graham, of Wild wood, this
wonderful Council of Degree OF Poca-
hontas is instituted. To the first three
sisters belong the credit of gathering
the members together to be organized
into this loyal band, pledged to work
for the interests Of Freedom, Friend
ship and Charity, as inculcated in the
principles of the Order of d. of p, of
the Imp o. R. M. The degree work
was exemplifed In a well
worthy of comment by the well train
ed degree team of Nokomis Council.
The officers were elected and raised to
their respective stumps by the Great
Pocahontas and her helpers.
P. P. Helen Graham, OF Nokomis
Council, was appointed to take the
chair, it not being possible for the first
Pocahontas of Silver Arrow Council to
take her station upon the night of in
stitution.
After speeches by the Great Chief,
commencing the good work of the
organizers, sister Heritage and her
helpers, the newly kindled Council fire
was quenched and all present were
invited to partake of the bountiful sup
per prepared by the committee in
charge. The tables were fairly groan-
ing under their burden Of good things
prepared for the comfort of the inner
man and woman. The members of
the new Council spared no time nor
expense to do honor to their guests
after a motion that a rising vote OF
thanks be given the tired but will
Ing workers, by the visitors, lingering
farewells were said, and the members
of Nokomis Council took the trail TO
their own hunting grounds. The Great
Chiefs were entertained at the home of
brother and sister Heritage at Court
House.
Hats off! to Silver Arrow Council
