SUFFERED FOR OTHERS SIN
Pathetic Story Told as an Example Of
the Peril That Lies In
lnefficlency.

A. r. Hawley, president Of the Aero
club, told In New York the other day
an inefficiency story.
Beware the inefficient man." he
said, "for II you have dealings with
him 1t is you, not he, that will suffer
from his inefficiency.
"a foreigner in outlandish garb
claiming to be an Armenian came here
to solicit funds last year for his COM
patriots. 1t happened that another
Armenian was arrested at the time
and the first chap was asked to 60 to
court and act as his interpreter.
swell, he reluctantly consented to
act, though the truth was that he knew
no Armenian whatever. Anyhow he
stalked into the courtroom, listened In
grave silence to the prisoners pas
sionate protestations Of innocence, and
then turned to the Judge and said with
q low bow.
"Your honor, my compatriot has
confessed all. He begs you, however,
to be lenient for suffering Armenia's
sake
"The Judge thanked the interpreter
warmly for his services. and then SEN
fenced the innocent prisoner to five
years. hard labor"

How HalrpIns Aid SURGEONS.

De Angelo L. Saresi of New York,
who has been serving as surgeon in
the italian army, sends to the Journal
of the American Medical Association
a note on novel but simple method
Of retracting the skin and flesh in
minor surgical operations. "When spe-
cial retractors are not available" he
says, Ordinary hairpins may be used"
And he shows some of the many ways
in which they may be bent for the
purpose. They can be made self
retaining by hanging a small weight
to them.

Conan poyIe's "FamiIiar."

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's familiar"
proved of very practical assistance to
him the other day.
The creator of sherlock Holmes"
walked into his study, and after some
indecision drifted over to the waste
paper basket, plunged his arm into the
litter, and-extracted valuable. war
office document relating to the history
of the warl 1t had blown from the
table into the basket.
'Tve never done such a thing be-
FORE" said Sir Arthur, in narrating the
circumstances, and the unusual course
of action which he followed with such
good results he attributes wholly to
the promptings of his familiar
London Chronicle.

star tuberculosis Patient.

James. age seven, is patient at
Sunnyside and came into the city for
tonsillotomy. While In one Of the
hospitals overnight James could not
sleep because he missed his sleeping
porch, so he called the nurse and
pleaded his case s(for air).
The weather was zero and the nurse
explained as much to James and
thinking she had satisfied his mind
she left him. but no sooner had she
gone than James became restless for
his old haunts and called her. Again
she refused to open the window and

London Now Less Noisy.

Middle-aged Londoners who went to
end fro in the capital in the sixties
and seventies merely smile when we
ask If London could possibly be nois-
fer than ii is at the present day.
For they say it was a far noisier
place then, when nearly all the main
streets were granite paved and all the
wheels of the vehicles iron bound.
There was continuous roar then to
which the present day sound is
mere whisper.
One such Londoner says he often
heard in the old days the roar Of Lon
don's traffic from as far away spot
as the Crystal Palace parade. The
sound was like that of continual very
distant thunder. He has many times
In recent years listened for the sound
from the same spot, but has never
heard it.-London Chronicle.

Why Wartime Diet Was Best.

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, Hoosier who
became famous as an authority on the
proper food, has been making short
visit to Indiana friends. He says, &C.
cording to the Indianapolis News:
II regret that the American people
so soon abandoned the restricted diet
enforced by the wartime food admin
istration. The use Of white flour in
stead of the war mixture is a steI
backward so far as the public health
Is concerned The war bread wal
more nutritious and in every particular
more to be desired than the bread we
are using today"
Doctor Wiley says his family went
onsa war diet before the rest Of the
country and the same diet Is being
kept up, even though restrictions have
been, to large measure, removed
He also thinks the curtailment of SUI
gar was a great thing for the country
and is sorry the sugar bowl has gone
back on the restaurant and hotel
tables.

A Great CHANCE
ENTERS into LIFE.
OF ST!0REkEEPER

A certain unassuming gentleman in
this city who happens to be a prOmi-
nent merchant and who up to few
weeks ago had become recluse be-
cause Of his physical condition tells this
remarkable and most interesting tale:
''For 2 number Of years, he said, II
have been so closely confined to my
business working zealously to make my
store representative in every respect
that wear and tear finally got me. my
face became drawn and haggard and
my disposition seemed to urge people
to evade me. 1t was then that l began
to despise my own company.
My bookkeeper one day suggested that
| needed a rest and that my nerves re-
quired attention. She told me that her
father had taken Phosphated Iron when
in my condition. Look at him now, she
said. He works ten hours 4 day and is
the happieSt man in the world.
"All this happened less than month
ago. l followed the advice and look
at me now. Back in the harness with
a smile all the while. I am feeling
more fit than ever. When l see tired
looking face the name Of Phosphated
iron immediately comes in my mind. l
am convinced that it is converting
