JAPANESE WAY WITH BORES
People Have a Curious Method Of Get

Once In long while a caller comes
to ones house or Office or study aud
overstnys his welcome, writes Cleland
u. McAfee, In Forward. He OF course
Is not conscious OF this breach. All
he needs Is something to remind him
he has stayed long enough. SO far
no device has been discovered for end.
Ing the call without risk OF ofrense,
though various formulas have been
tried out. A few years ago friend
told a group OF acquaintance that he
always received his callers standing,
and snw TO II that there were no
chairs In the room. Needless 10 say,
the calls were ALWAYS short. II was
the common opinion among his listen.
ers that this would be harder on him
than on the callers. but that was his
affair
Perhaps the japanese have come as
near rs any TO solving the problem.
A missionary TO that land tells how.
when "a person makes too long n call,
and apparently doesn't know II ls time
for him to leave. they stand broom
upside down somewhere In the house.
This Is n charm, supposed TO throw a
rpcll over the caller. and all unknown
to himself he is compelled TO 10 home.
The broom doesn't have TO be seen by
the visitor; any obscure corner will
do. The missionary tells OF her own
cook, not yet Christian. who was 30
annoyed by callers who interfered
with he dinner hour that she was
Just starting TO turn the broom upside
down when the callers left. or course
that confirmed the superstition. In

A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs very little at the drug

that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifes and freshens the
skin on the outside, so hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs. We must always consider
that internal sanitation Is vastly more
important than outside cleanliness,
because the skin pores do not absorb
Impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.
