Bodily Temperature,

Many people are unaware the so
called normal body temperature Of 9S.6
degrees f. is not always maintained
by persons in perfect health. Varia-
tons Of degree between 6 p. M, when
the temperature in normal man is
highest, and $50 a. NJ, when it is low
est, have been noted, and a healthy
child's temperature sometimes falls in
the early morning as low as &C. At
other hours, however, an abnormally
high or low temperature is an excel
lent reason for calling on the doctor.

Some men have the idea that
to maintain their rights they
must be perpetual grouches.
Hard work is the father of
most geniuses.
There's one thing about the
phonograph-it's put the old
fashioned parlor entertainer out
of business.
It is better to remain idle than
to be busy making trouble.
Appearances may be deceit
full, but they're not half so tricky
as some mems words.

important than how much have
you.
