As none of it is absorbed by the
blood, diabetes are allowed to use
saccharine instead of sugar. But sac
charine has been accused of causing
grave troubles to the digestion and it
has even been indicated as a cause of
cancer. The best medical opinion
however, acquits it of these charges,
for there are many diabetes who have
used it regularly for many years with
out any i'll effects. In France sacchar-
inc may not be given to infants, the
aged and the sick without a doctors
prescription.

SMOKING Prohibited.

The tavern custom of smoking was
regarded by early moral censors as n
greater evil than drinking, and for
years not only smoking but planting
of the weed was prohibited by law,
though all to no purpose, says a writ
er. The most liberal legislation al
lowed smoking in a tavern "only in q,
private room, where it would offend
neither the proprietor nor other
guests" Yet when, in 1879, two Dutch
visitors inhaled the atmosphere in
Harvard college, reeking with tobac-
co smoke, one of them remarked
''This is certainly a tavern"

Wife Must Walk Backward in Kitchen.

Omer, Mich.-Eliphalet Jones of this
place is a man of ingenuity. When
he married a woman who had one leg
longer than the other he conceived
the idea of building the kitchen floor
on a slant, so that she could walk
across the room without Iimping. Now
the man is being sued for divorce on
account of the slant floor. Mrs. Jones
says the floor is all right when she
goes to the sink, but when she travels
from the sink to the stove she has to

and Bill were properly employed in
mates of the Pontiac reformatory, maxi
ing rattan chairs for something like
six cents a day.
"What the asked Gus. "Where's
the bossW
"We'n find him." said Bill.
That evening, as the movies have it,
Gus and Bill endeavored to gain an
audience with the superintendent.
Their arguments fraught with wild and
angered words, appealed to the guard
as irrational. They saw not the su-
perintendent. They received instead a
cell, and therein they lay down to
mediate upon the whims of fate and
the helplessness of man.
Case Draes Along.
For one month Gus and Bill strug-
gled against their strange destiny,
their efforts finally attracting the at
tention of the powers in charge. For
another month these powers struggled
with the fine legal point which the sit
uation Of the two printers offered. For
b third month the case hung fire in the
prison court. And during this time
Gus and Bill had changed from the
chair factory into the prison print shop.
Here "Jim" Maddigan, in charge of
the print shop, fastened an eagle eye
upon the two men.
"Where'd you work before they sent
you up?" inquired Uncle Jim, who, as
one Of Chicago's foremost printers be-
fore he took up prison work, is a liv-
ing encyclopedia Of the trade.
"We weren't sent up," walled Gus
and for the hundredth time the two un-
fortunate tramps recited their tale of
woe. Uncle Jim hearkened and after
indulging in proper laughter at so droll
turn of events championed the cause
! Of Gus and Bill in person.
| Gus and Bill are now at liberty, the
| wheels of justice having finally made
| the necessary rotations.

In bulletin on the employment of
women in the storage and warehousing
depots of the United States army is
the following:
'The census of 1910 reported that of
every 100 men and boys ten years of
age and over, only 10 were not gain
fully employed. This group of 10 in
cluded old men not able to work, chill
dren too young to work, the sick and
handicapped, and men in schools and
colleges.
Assuming that 100000 of the num-
ber called by the selective-service law
have had some form of gainful employ
ment, we may estimate that one out of
every 60 men in the industries and
professions of the country has been
called into military service, while an
other in every go has voluntarily join
ed the forces of the army or navy.
Thus, about 8 per cent of the gainfully
