WIFE NAGGEn HIM TOO MUCH
Jarvits Decided to Go Behind Big Can
mons and Lose Hearing-Now
In Peace.

Synopsis: Jason Jarvis is home
loving man. He loves to sit about In
his carpet slippers reading the papers,
and he loves his wife, Croona, dearly,
but hates to hear her complain of his
shiftless habits, says the Detroit Free
Press. Now, as she keeps complaining
of them from morning till night, Jar
Wits finds 1t extremely difficult to keep
his mind on his pipe and his paper.
He thinks of spending his time at a
club or at movies, but is inherently
such home-loving man that the very
thought is repugnant to him. So he
stands his wife's accusing flow of
words until one day something he sees
In the paper (while he is smoking his
pipe) gives him brilliant idea.
Conclusion: "It's true that we are
badly in need of men to help fire these
new S0-cylinder cannons," said Colo
mel Kimmel, in charge of the govern
ment proving grounds at Skippington.
"But IT is my duty to inform you that
the shock of the firing is extremely
bad for the ears. In fact, IS men in
the past week have been deafened and
honorably discharged with pension
II want the job" said Jason Jarvis
firmly.
In three days the drums of both his
ears were shattered.
Returning home joyously he sub
scribed for a dozen extra papers,
bought four more pipes and settled
down to smoke and read contentedly
on his pension, entirely unaware as to
whether his wife was talking or not.

mon to Pennsylvania. 1t is caused by
small parasitic worms which attach
themselves to the inside of the wind
pipe. The worms or the eggs from
which they develop are taken into the
body in contaminated food and
through earthworms. The worms or
eggs are frequently coughed up by the
chick and contaminate the soil. Sandy,
well-drained soils are least liable to
contamination.
Gapes may be prevented by putting
the chicks on clean, fresh ground. Soil
may be kept fresh by turning it over
at regular periods. Spraying the

SENATE AGREES
TO POLICE BILL
Passes Measure Adding to
Force and Increasing
Salaries

In the Senate last night the Buck
man bill increasing the State police
force by adding 16 corpals and 80 pri-
Yates and raising the salaries so that
the total appropriation for salaries is
made approximately $4,000 passed
finally and goes to the house. The
bill was made a special order for 10
ocolck. 1t was attacked by Senator
Charles A. Snyder, who said he could
see no reason for eXtravagant salaries
The Auditor General-elect asserted
that the salary of the superintendent
of police was greater than that of the
major general and brigadier general
of the army commanding 5000 men,
He could not see, he said, the wisdom
of paying the superintendent $4,000
per year for commanding 375 men.
Replying. Senator Buckman, the au-
thor of the measure, said that at one
election Senator Snyder had been
chosen to two offices, telling in detail
the offices he would fill by virtue of his
election as Auditor General and plac-
ing the emoluments at close to $4,000
per year, including the salary of $1,000
as senator. Senator Snyder offered
amendments, reducing the salary OF
the superintendent to $4,000 that OF
the deputy to $4,000 and of the cap
tains from S2.400 to $4,000.
The necessary unanimous consent to
offer amendments was blocked by the
objection of Senator Buckman and the
bill passed by vote of 33 to IL.

It's truly astonishing how quickly it
acts, penetrating through every air
passage of the throat and lungs-loosens

the infamed or swollen throat mem
branes, and gradually but surely the
annoying throat tickle. and dreaded
cough will disappear entirely. Nothing
