OBJECT in HIS DAILY VISIT
That One Doorstep Instead Of
Any Adjoining.

A well-known Los Angeles dentist,
who had been made nervous by fire.
quent burglaries in his vicinity,
was somewhat startled recently by
having a man come regularly at the
same hour every evening and sit on
his doorstep. He finally suggested
that if it would be all the 81 me to
him, he would be pleased to have
him divide his attention, and sit on
some neighbor's doorstep for a while.
"But, it wouldn't be the same"
shouted the visitor, in return, "nor
anything like it. You are a dentist
and | have an aching tooth and I
haven't the courage to have it pulled
out. l come here every afternoon
trying to make up my mind to have
it out, and as soon as | come in sight
of your house it stops aching, but
when sit on your doorstep, and the
confounded thing knows it can be
pulled out if it gives me trouble, I
have some rest"

VENTRlLOQUISM.

A ventriloquist is person who is
able to produce sounds that seem to
come from a distance, or from an
other person. He makes Lery little
motion of the lips OF none at all and
it is sometimes said that he learns
his art from the birds.
Many birds form their sounds
without opening their bills. The
pigeon is a well-known instance Of
this. Its cooling can be distinctly
heard, although it does not open its
bill. The call is formed internally
in the throat and chest, and is only
rendered audible by resonance. SINH
lar ways may be observed in many
birds and other animals. The clear,
loud call of the cuckoo is said to be
the resonance of note formed in
the bird. The whirring of the snipe,
which betrays the approach of the
bird to the hunter, is an act of ven-
triloquism. Even the nightingale
has certain notes which are produced
internally, and which are audible
while the bill is closed.
The Lambertville record., 1919-02-14
HOW CHILL HURTS HEALTH.

Chilling the body reduces the
power of protection against bacteria.
There are certain cells in the body
which are known as phagocytes
When they come in contact with
bacteria they surround, devour and
digest them. If the temperature of
the body be abnormally reduced the
phagocytes are not so active. This
partially explains why chilling of
the body may be followed by an at
tack Of pneumonia. The cold does
not produce pneumonia-no more
than narrowing a field produces a
crop Of corn or wheat. Narrowing
the field prepares it for the growth
of planted seed; chilling the body
prepares it for developing the plant
ed germs. 1t is wrong to speak Of
the cold air treatment Of pneumonia.
Plenty of fresh air, less laden with
germs and the poisons eliminated
from the body, helps to maintain the
fighting efficiency of the body, pro-
vided that the body be kept warm

CROWS.

No other New England birds ap-
proach crows in the matter of intel
ligence or hardness, and they face
a New England winter with placid
Indifference to its possible severity.
Long experience has taught them
that anything which they can swal-
low will agree with them, but they
will swallow nothing until they have
paid due heed to the maxim now so
popular in the industrial world,
safety first" If a tempting pile of
garbage appears in the back yard
they will allow the startling to try it
out, and if nothing happens to these
the crows will take possession after
making sure that no trap is con-
cealed in the food.
The Lambertville record., 1919-02-14

The events of the war just ended
will inspire poets, sculptors, painters
and composers for thousand years to
come. But no poets soul will fame
forth an Iliad for Wilhelm, no sculp-
tors genius will visualize in his hate
full figure hero great, no painter will
portray for century old halls of fame
his sinister countenance, no composer
will conceive symphony to impart to
the souls of coming generations the
majesty of his character, says Hous-
ton Post. In all the years to come
even in the native land he brutalized,
betrayed and ultimately wrecked-his
very name will be anathema, and the
world will strive to forget him because
he cannot be recalled except to make
the world shudder at the atrocities and
infamies which have damned his name
forever and forever.
