Add to the many other duties of the
New York Police Department that of
teaching the city how to beat the high
| cost of living and at the same time en-
joy better health.
In the latest issue Of the Police Bull
! letin there is an enlightening article on
Saving Health and Saving Money"
and the various points driven home APP
ply to all citizens, whether he be of
high or low estate. The information
was furnished to the department by the
Life Extension Institute.
AS basic means Of keeping the cost
of living low the article sets forth
that
1t costs nothing to stand erect and
breathe and walk properly.
1t costs nothing to have fresh air in
youl home.
1t costs nothing to do setting-up ex-
ercises every day.
1t costs nothing to masticate ones
food thoroughly; this insures better
digestion and less of the expensive,
highly favored food is consumed; mon
cy and health are saved. .-
1t costs nothing to cleanse the teeth
thoroughly after each meal By so do
ing you may save not only dentists
bills bit surgeons and doctors bills.
It costs nothing to eat some crusty
foods that give proper employment to
the teeth and thus save dentists bills.
1t costs notl ing to choose the kinds
of food that the body needs.
1t costs nothing to keep out OF your
body substances like alcohol that are
known to pe injurious.
1t costs nothing to adjust your diet
so that the more expensive flesh foods
are not taken in excess.
It costs nothing to avoid dosing your

You may answer that to do these
things does cost something, namely

is a man who is unwilling toseXerclse
these qualities to reasonable extent

effort the way can be opened to save
money and also health that is beyond

A Mummy's Doll.

Among the ancient objects exhibited
in the British museum Is doll more
than 5000 years old. When some ar
chaeologists were exploring an ancient
Egyptian royal tomb they came upon a
sarcophagus containing the mummy of a
little princess seven years old. She
was dressed and inferred in manner
bef,tting her rank, and in her arms was
found a little wooden doll.
The inscription gave the name, rank
and age of the little girl and tie date
of her death. but it said nothing about
the quaint little wooden Egyptian doik
This, however, told its own story. 1t

the mummy that it was evident that the
child had died with her beloved doll In

literature and travel. Several times
she had visited Europe and was widely
acquainted with the United States, nav
ing journeyed to many different parts
of this continent Her winter home was
for some time in Brooklyn, N. Y. but
since the death Of her sister 10 years
ago her home has been with her nephew,
John r. Mcclellan here. She was
woman of brilliant mind and of a phil
anthropic nature, when deserving cases
were brought to her attention, yet
withal exceedingly modest in her ref
erences to the good which she had ac-
complished. 1t is doubtful if there has
ever been a woman in Skowhegan who
has shown so much generosity and
still concealed it so much as Mrs. Red
dington. Her sisters were Annie. who
married a Percival Of Waterville; Lizzie
who became a nun at an early age and
Lydia who was twice married. first

Mcclellan, and the second time to

mourned not only by the few close
friends but by the community generally
among whom she has spent so many
years, although her native city was
Waterville.
