There was some speculation as to
whether the instrument would benefit
the old gentleman or not. One was
holding the ear trumpet while ex-
planning it's use and showing old Mr..
Shortcash how to hold 1t to his ear.
Say something to him through 1t,
Binks," said one to the other.
Now Binks had long waited for an
opportunity to reach Mr.. Shortcash's
ear, so, speaking very distinctly into
the trumpet, he said:
you've not paid me that SIS you
owe me yet, Mr.. Shortcash."
But the old gentleman put the in
strument down with disappointment
on his face, and they could see 1t was
failure, even before he had time to
say:
"That things not a bit of use to
me-"
And he sighed, but his sigh was not
so deep as that which came from
Binks.

So many folks are disagreed,

So many folks are disagreed,
So very seldom do we find
The many of a single mind,
It's little wonder then that life
Has much of argument and strife.
How very pleasant it would be
If everyone could quite agree
And then no matter what you said
They'd always smile and nod the
head
And say. "of counsel" or very
true!"
Or Yes, always say that, tool"
IL everyone were thus agreed
We then would have no further need
OF lots of things as law and cops
And joint debates and razor strops
And hats or shoes, of different size
And books and different sorts of pies.
And all the people would see
In order not to disagree
Would live on tea and broiled pike
And everyone would dress alike!
Remember?
Somehow we didn't care to eat
And only thought of one whose seat
Was next to ours and whose shy
looks
Would keep us from our sums and
books.
And at the table we would sigh
And never even touch our pie
And ma would watch us in distress
And pa would smile and sort o. guess
A pair of eyes. both blue and bright,
Were what had allied our appetite.

Head Walters.


A head waiter must always be able
to tell at glance how much money
you are going to spend so that he
will be able to sneer at you accord
ingly.
When restaurant proprietor hires
a new head waiter he expects to be
greatly Inundated. To make a ia
vorable impression the head waiter
must be able to give the proprietor
a look that will make him feel pretty
cheap. Before the interview is over
the proprietor is showing the head
waiter his family kodak album.
The head walters in the magazines
and movies could never hold real jobs
because they have been seen to smile
and bow. II a real head waiter ever
smiled at customer he would break
out with rash and If he ever bowed
1t would cause internal injuries.
There may come a day when a
head walters bows and smiles may
be had at moderate prices. At pres
ent, however, they are within the
reach Of few.

TIME.
How laggard is the pace of Time,
How slow, how tardy and belated,
How drearily the moments climb,
Whenas a pleasure Is awaited:
It seems cycle we must mark,
A long and wearisome duration,
Before at last we may embark
On that vacation.
But how the merry moments speed,
How days agone seem very recent,
The days fly hastily, indeed,
And with a haste that's quite in
decent,
When pleasantly we daily nigh
The shore or mid the rural clover,
And then before we know 1t, why,
Vacations over
Time is a useful thing, it's true,
'Twould puzzle us to be without it,
And yet, We'll leave it up to you,
There's one unpleasant thing

When we would have 1t speed and

And when we'd have it loaf a bit

Residents Work to Make Town Gen.
ter of Good Health.
All sickness is to be banished from
birmingham, Mass, and the town Is
to be made a hygienic Utopia. A COM
mittee with fund Of 100000 has
been appointed to bring about this end,
to discourage the ailing from coming
to the town to regain health. A COM
munity health station has been estab-
lished where the committee Will make
Its headquarters. 1t is composed Of
merchants, manufacturers, newspaper
men, charitable workers and health Of
6cials, and Dr.. Donald 3. Armstrong
IF New York city, now residing at
birmingham, has been chosen the eX-
ecutive officer. The committee has had
several meetings and in communica-
lows:
'There are two main points of at
tack for the prevention of unnecessary
disease. First to be considered is the
amount and kinds of illness with which

tion intends to attack the latter prob

Of environment factors in FTamingham.
''In the sanitary study the community
health station hopes to discover the
dangers which threaten infant life, the
4apgers which affect school life, the
possible sources of disease in factories,
stores and offices, and the possible
sources OF infection in the town gen.
srally.
Briefly stated, the study will concern
Itself first with the records of disease
and death for the past years. There
will then be taken up an investigation
Of sanitary conditions in the rural and
arban parts Of the town, in the schools,
factories, the stores, the food shops,
etc.
The money FOR this experiment Is
being furnished by the National Asso-
cistion For the Study Of tuberculosis,
aad Representatives from the United
States health service will watch the
work. birmingham was selected for
tiss experiment because of its normal
eendition. This town won in severe
competition largely because it showed
a willingness to meet its routine health
obligations, such as infant welfare
work, medical school inspection, milk
Inspection, etc.

MANURE LOSES BY LEAcHlNG
When Rains Fall Much of Soluble
Plant Food Is Carried Away
Moisture Holds Plant Food.

Farmers have been so accustomed
to throw the manure from the stable
in pile in the barnyard, and leave it
until it is convenient to haul it to the
fields, that they do not give the mat
ter of loss by washing and teaching
any consideration. Usually but little
of the value of the solids of the ma
nure is lost in the stable, but great
losses occur after it is thrown in a
pile. The manure in the stable, sat-
urated by the urine, contains more
than so per cent water.
The moisture in the manure holds in
solution the greater part Of the plant
foods which the manure. contains.
When the rains fall upon the manure
the teaching process carries away
much of the soluble plant foods and II
is lost beyond recovery, for 1t is either
carried away in the water as 1t flows
on the surface to the streams, or sinks
into the ground where, for all practi.
cal purposes, it is wasted.

TELLS HOW TO KILL FLIES.
New York Merchants Association In
Tenth Campaign Against the Pest.

Tenth Campaign Against the Pest.
Thousands of pamphlets containing ,
warning against flies and telling how
to kill them are being distributed il
New York by the Merchants associa-
ton. 1t is the opening of the tenth
annual campaign Of the association
against the fly. The pamphlet warns
the public that there are many reasons
to believe that there will be more flies
this season than for number Of years.
Not only is it recommended to kill the
fly, but also to burn his body.
"April, May and June are the best
months to conduct an anti-fy cam
paign," says the pamphlet. 'Kill flies
and save lives. The fly is the tie that
binds the unhealthy ia the healthy.
The killing Of just one fly now means
that there will be billions and trillions
less next summer.
The United States government
makes the following suggestion for the
destruction of house6ies: Tornado
hye and sodium salicylate are the two
best fly poisons. Both are superior tC
arsenic. They have their advantages
for household use. They are not q
poison to children; they are convenient
to handle; their dilutions are simple
and they attract flies. Boraxp Is espe
cially valuable around farms and out
of doors.'"
