Accidental French.

An American lady in Paris wanted
some water, but could not make the
maid understand she wanted it hot.
After several vain attempts she ex-
claimed in disgust, "Sho!" The maid
frightened up suddenly, went off and
returned with pitcher of hot water.
It was not until some time afterward
that the lady learned from a friend
that the girl had evidently misunder-
stood "Shol'' for "chaud," which is
the French for ''hot" Richmond

Don't imagine that the doctor can
cure your ills when it depends on you
10 care for yourself. It is not fair to
the doctor to ask him to do the whole
thing with few little pills. What
you do from day to day has more to do
with your health than any medicine
can possibly have, and plenty of sub
stantial food. sleep and air constitute
a daily dose that should never be over
looked.
