QUIZZING THE CHEMIST.
Curious and Amusing Experience of Sir
Hiram Maxim.

Curious and Amusing Experience of Sir
Hiram Maxim.
Having occasion to use some metal
lie mercury in his London laboratory,
Sir Hiram Maxim sent his man, Silver
man, out to purchase one pound of
metallic mercury in a strong glass bot
tie with a cork stopper" In MY
Life he tells the story of what hap
pened.
Silverman soon returned and said
that he could not find any metallic
mercury. l asked him whether he had
tried at a shoe shop or a beer shop.
NO." he replied, "at a wholesale

1 told him he must have made a
mess of it somehow, and 1 sat down
and wrote out carefully, WANTED

Before long he came back and said
that there was no such stuff as metal
lie mercury" known in the chemists
shop and that he had been to a whole
sale place. As the shop was not more
than 200 yards away, I went around
with him and said to the man behind
the counter:
II have sent this young man here
twice for some metallic mercury, and
he tells me that you have nothing of
the kind"
mo. we never have any call for it."
he replied.

produces at a minimum 100 eggs at a

that at least half of these will hatch

1urn the Children Loose.

Turn them loose. That is the best
way to develop the muscles of boys
and girls. Turn them loose and let
them live wild-climb trees, jump
fences, chase squirrels. play with the
dogs, dig in the garden, pick flowers,
hop, skip and jump and do all sorts
maj waits to do. The trouble is. our
boys and girls are tanned too much.
We are all born wild and in the civiliz-
ing process have to be tanned more or
less. Most of us, however, get tanned
too much. We become so tanned that
we are rpoiled.-Good Health.

FLY DON'TS

DON'T allow flies in your house.
DON'T permit them near your food,
especially milk.
DON'T buy foodstuffs where flies
are tolerated.
DON'T have feeding places where
flies can load themselves with ejec-
tons from typhoid or dysenteric pa
tients.
DON'T allow your fruits and con
fections to be exposed to the swarms
of flies.
DON'T let flies crawl over the
baby's mouth and swarm upon the nip
pie of it's nursing bottle.
CLEAN UP your premises inside
and out. Then see that the communi-
ty does the same.
STRIKE at the roo of the evil.
The housefly. breeds in horse manure
kitchen offal and the like. Dispose of
these materials in such a way that the
househy cannot propagate.
SCREEN all windows and doors.
and insist that your grocer, butcher,
baker and every one from whom you
buy foodstuffs does the same. There is
more health in a house well screened
than in many a doctors visit.

POWDER HOUSE PERILs.
A "Jag" Without Whisky and a Weird
Nervous Disorder.

Nervous Disorder.
Alcohol is greatly feared by the pow
der people, and rightly SO. But they
cannot eliminate a strange malady that
appears among their workmen in the
powder mills. AS s-ubterranean labor
in compressed air produces "the bends"
work in the powder mills creates the
powder house Jag" which is describ-
ed as follows by Merle Crowell In the
American Magazine:
A powder house is no place for an
unsteady hand or an unseeing eye. But
the powder house Jag" a freak prod
uct of the plants themselves, is some
thing which no amount of diligence can
forefend. Large quantities of alcohol
are used in the making Of smokeless
powder, and the air in the shops fire.
quently gets heavy with it's fumes.
Men have been known to leave the
plants Keeling and %stupefied, while one
serious accident was caused because a
fume fuddled workman threw on both
the high pressure and low pressure
brakes at the same time.
A weird nervous disorder that steals
upon powder makers has been called
"~powderitis." Treading all day with
rubber sole shoes in a shop which a
vagrant spark will change into a era
ter, they get keyed up to a nervous
tension that never u N down, with the
result hat even when off duty they
nearly jump through their collars at
an unexpected flash of light. Although
powder, unless it is confined, does not
explode at a spark under normal con
ditions, a powder shop maybe changed
into an inferno of wildfre in a few sec
onds.

Filth Means Flies
and Death

TITLES love to feast on filth
and then get into the house
and wipe their feet on your
cake or on baby's bottle. Screen
your house.
1t is true they are natures
scavengers, but they spread filth
and disease in doing their work,
and, besides, it is better to be
your w scavenger by keep
ing clean than to have the flies
do it for you, for not only is the
fly a dangerous companion, but
clean people are beginning to
suspect that those who have
flies about them are dirty house,
keepers.
If therefore you wish to bear
a reputation for cleanliness in
your neighborhood be sure that
your trash and heaps
are frequently removed and that
your house is properly screened.
