A Massachusetts man who recently
returned from an automobile trip
through northern New England had a

obliged him to do some tinkering on

in pleasant bit of woods, the family
found amusement in strOlling about
the neighbOrhoOd while the head of the
family made the repairs.
He had been at work only a few
minutes when an old man strolled up
with his hands behind his back and
work. He asked no questions and Of
fered no comments. but his face wore
friendly smile. After q time, having
apparently grown tired of standing. he
found a seat on rock by the side Of
the road and continued to watch.

owner at last.

TO LIVE LONG!

A recipe given by famous physician
for long life was: Keep the kidneys il
good order! Try to eliminate thru the
skin and intestines the poisons that
otherwise clog the kidneys. Avoid eat
ing meat as much as possible; avoid too
much salt, alcohol, tea. Try milk and
vegetable diet. Drink plenty of water,
and exercise so you sweat - the skin
helps to eliminate the toxic poisons
and uric acid"
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms of inflam-
nation, as backache, scalding water"
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, "rusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is a
wonderful eliminator of uric acid and
was discovered by DR.. Pierce of Invalids'
Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. If your druggist
does not keep it send 10 cents to DR..
Pierce for trial package and you will
find that it is many times more potent
than lthia and that it dissolves uric
acid as hot water does sugar.

Electric Fans For Winter.

Why is it that the first sign of
cool weather the electric fan is rele-
gated to the cellar, the attic, or the
storeroom, as the case may be? Sim
ply because the mission of the cleo
trio fan is misunderstood. observes the
Scientific American. 1t is looked upon
as device for cooling the air during
warm weather, when as a matter of
faJt it merely stirS the air. If ever
there was an efficient way of warming
a room during the coolest winters day
It is to place an electric fan near n
radiator so that its breeze passes
through the heating coils. This re-
suits in creating current of warm air
throughout the room; and instead of
the heat of the room being confined to
the immediate neighborhOod of the
radiator, ii is distributed to the fur
thermoSt corners of the room. Why
not try it?

quently 1t would soon break up am

That is indeed the danger in max

deferred by the danger. We must vary
the routine as need arises and thus
teach the children that a rule is not
something absolute, but a convenience.
We must teach them. also, to be the
