CAN STOP ANNOYING HABIT
How Habitual snorer May Cure Him.
self Of Practice That 10 Injurious
to the Health.

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, who conducts
a department Of foods, sanitation and
health In Good Housekeeping, invites
inquiry from readers, and In doing so
lays himself open to surprising re-
quests. A woman recently asked the
doctor why her sister snOred and how
she could be cured of the unpleasant
accomplishment. Doctor Wiley gave
the following explanation Of snoring:
Snoring takes place only when the
mouth Is open and almost always when
one is sleeping on his back. AdenOids
or other distractions to the nasal pas
sages are frequent causes Of snoring.
Usually snoring is prevented by sleep
Ing on ones side. Mechanically an elias
tic band under the chin and over the
top Of the head will keep the mouth
closed. The annoyance which Is caused
to other people by snoring is by no
means the worst feature Of this trOu-
BILE. The air that enters the lungs d.
rectly through the mouth Is more like
ly to carry dust and infection into the
lungs than IL the breathing takes place
through the nasal passages. These
passages are tOrtuOus In character,
and the particles carried In the air
stick to the mucous membranes of the
air passages. Thus the lungs are pro-
tected from infection"

WHY
A Target That Swings Is
Not Hard to Hit

1t Is strange thing that the novice
will almost Invariably try to hit the
bull's-eye Of swinging target when 1t
Is at the center or In the lowest posi-
ton. This Is decidedly the incorrect
method, and the expert knows better.
He knows that the time to shoot is
at the end of the swing. In fact, any
one will arrive ultimately nj the same
conclusion, for little thought will
convince him that a target Is the more
easily hit when at standstiii. or at
the end of a vibration.
The moving target as a rule has the
largest bull's-eye, and is often one Of
the easiest to strike, II you happen to
know how.
Simply aim at the point where the
center Of the target stops and wait
till 1t returns. Then, bingi Your
friend gives one of those sickly smiles
and pays for the shots. Then he
wastes another quarter trying to do
something that he does not compre-
bend. Simple If you only know how"

How salutatIons Differ.

The natives of different countries
vary In their salutatiOns. Binghi
meeting Binghi after a long separa-
ton remarks "Yah !" or something to
that effect. Torres Strait islanders
grunt their greetings. Some Papuans
raise their arms, others shout the
name of the newly arrived. Javan-
csc are fond Of a long, complicated ad-
dress Of welcome. In some South
Sea islands noses are rubbed, In 9TH
ers the hands are held up palms out
wards. But all take to the white
mans fashion of shaking hands. Once,
when travelling along the beach near
the Vailala river (Papua), wrinkled
old heather rushed out from q small
village, placed himself directly In my
path, spat on his hand, held 1t out
and said Tomorrow tomorrow !"
Farewells are often impressive. In
southeast Papua they have so-lOng
that acutely conveys the idea of sad
ness at parting. 1t is $1,000,
EO-o-o-ow and when half-a-hundred
are chanting it the long -drawn-out 80"
Is one nf the saddest sounds imagin-
able.

Georde Eliot Seldom Read.

George Eliot was writer almost
omnipotent In her power to charm at
once the great multitude and the aus
tere critic Of her time.
She was taken more seriously than
any writer of today ever has been or
ever will be taken.
Yet to the great bulk Of educated
criticism of today George Eliot has
become writer unreadable I'm herself
and negligible as q critical illustration.
Her character drawing appears to
be singularly wooden, her books with
out any form, her style entirely pc
destrian and her solemnity intolerable.
And It Is probable that 1t was this
very solemnity that gave to her works
all the qualities that make them to
men in touch with the life Of today so
entirely unreadable, so exactly like SO
many heavy cakes.
George Eliot was. In fact, a great
figure. She was great enough to i'm
pose herself upon her day; she prob
ably never sought, though she GER
tainly found. the popularity Of sensa-
tionalism.

Why viii Should BE Exercised.

There is only one way to keep the
will active, and that Is by exercising
1t. The will is like the muscles, for
even the finest of athletes soon gets
out of condition unless he exercises.
A man ought to do every day some
thing that he does not care to do,
just for the sake Of exercising his
will. That sort of exercise keeps 1t
In condition, ready for the harder
things Of life when they occur, and,
above all, prepared for emergencies
that may spring up. The doctrine of
preparedness is much better under
stood now than 1t was at the begin
ming Of last year. 1t is as true for
the individual as the nation. 1t may
cost good deal of time and energy
and money, but 1t saves in the end.

How to Tell Iron From Steel.

The repairer Of machinery often has
to select pieces Of metal from the
scrap heap to make repairs on vari-
Gus machines, and is at loss to know
whether the metal he has selected Is
iron or steel. BY the following meth
cd wrought iron, cast iron and mild
steel are easily distinguished from
each other. File a bright spot on the
metal and place drop Of nitric acid
on the spot and leave for few min
utes.
The spot will appear ash-gray on
wrought iron, brownish-black on mild
steel and q deep black on cast iron.

How Pipes MAY Be Cleaned.

A handy scraper for cleaning rust,
frost. paint, etc.. from pipes or round
rods is provided with bronze head
in which two curved, beveled blades
are pivOtally fastened above a pipe,
half encircling 1t. 1t Is shown In
the Popular Mechanics Magazine. A
similar tool, called pipe cleaner,
Is equipped with pneumatic ham,
mer. The light blow delivered by
means of the hammer makes the clean
er especially suited for removing a
brittle coating Of any kind, while the
scraper is better adapted to remov-
ing q gummy substance.

1900 New York Doctors
Fighting P olson Gas.

Do you know that you folks at home
as we'll as the brave boys lover there"
are menaced by poison gas"-the
insidious kind that steals away health
and the joy of living, in the perpetually
recurring disturbances resulting from
a gassy, sour stomach.
1900 New York physicians regularly
prescribe JOHNS DIGESTIVE
TABLETS as the most perfect form
of relief known for these stomach dis
orders. The TABLETS are highly
beneficial for gastric and intestinal
indigestion, heartburn, acid or sour
stomach, flatulence and gastric catarrh.
They sure do vanish that poison gas
which Is the basis OF most stomach
ailments, as well as Danish bad breath
which usually heralds that gas-hlled
stomach.
Get tho TABLETS at your drug
store. They insure quick, lasting relief
by taking three to six dissolved in
glass of water or chewed before swall-
owing. Have JOHNS DIGESTIVE
TABLETS handy In the dining room
for chronic cases of gastric or intes-
final Indigestion az one or two TAB
LETS should be taken before each
meal. 8
