saw a word or two about the harm
that follows.
Our ear specialists tell us that
deafness is often due to severe blow
ing of the nose while holding it firm
ly either with or without a handker-
chief. These experts also agree that
a considerable percentage of middle
ear disease, some cases resulting IN
suppuration, is due to the same faui-
ty method of blowing the nose. When
blowing is so severe that the Eusta-
chan tubes are dilated and the drum
membranes forced outward, some
damage is being done to the ear.
The proper way to blow the nose
is to put no pressure on either nostril
with the hand or handkerchief. No
more force should be used than when
a handkerchief is held an inch or two
away from the nose. When this IS
done, there is no backward pressure
of air in the Eustachian tubes and in
lection is not carried up to the mid
die ear.
Let US remember that one should
never blow his nose or sneeze with
out holding a handkerchief before the
nose or mouth. Let us remember also
that the purpose Of a handkerchief
is not to prevent the air form escap-
ing outward, but rather to catch in
fictitious material which may be fore
ed from the nostrils, thus endanger-
ing others and often being respons-
ible for the spread Of disease.

SUBSCRIPTION NOTICE

We are pleased to note that our
subscription list is pretty well paid
up in advance, and we wish to thank
our subscribers for their thoughtful

Owing to the print paper situation
the publisher nowadays cannot afford
to mail out papers for which there
is no return, nor to use extra paper
in his publication where less would

the fraternity as the wasting of print
by one paper makes it that much
more difficult for other papers to
secure stock.

The discussion over the bonus bill
has now been sufnciently general
to disclose the many serious OBJ
jections there are to the measure.
Because other nations are In a far
worse financial condition than ours.
we are apt to think that we can
go on incurring liabilities with i'm
pun!ty. That was our condition
before we entered the war, but our
expenditures during the war, in

made to our allies. have brought
US to a critical financial condition
and make the proposal that we as
sumo q new liability of from l.
ooo.ooo.ooo to $4,000. 100000 utterly
preposterous.
When we consider that the crea-
tion Of this liability is an admitted
ly impossible effort. in some way
or other. to measure in dollars the
value of the patriotic service of
100000 men willing to sacrifice
their lives in defense of the coun-
try. the futility of the proposal is
emphasized. 1t is not true that
the men need it. Those who do
need aid. because of incapaeity
brought about by their service.
should be aided promptly by Con-
gress and the government. 1t is
true that this aid has not been
promptly rendered. Indeed. IL is
not too much to say that those
who have engineered this bonus
movement have been much assisted
oy the well-founded complaints of
lnethciency and red tape in giving
to the wounded and incapacitated
the help really provided by law.
OF course, this is no reason for a
bonus but It is easily made TO
serve as such. As to those whose
capacity was not affected by their
service in the war, they are better
men by reason of their service.

Business conditions are most
favorable to any who wish employ

he sat morosely in etAl number nine
in Ludlow Street Jail. He was
! awaiting the s25,O00 bail which did
not arrive, that the United States
government demanded for his re.
lease.
Its nonarrival appeared to take
all the heart out of Nicky and he
had but little to say. That little

complaint OF prison cells in general
and cell number nine in particular.
His nose registered intense disgust
when he was informed of the prison

ceeded in finding a bondsman.
1t was decided that owing to the
latesness of the hour when the new
bondsman was found that Nicky
might as well spend the remainder
Of the night in his cell.
One of the first evidences of dis
content exhibited by Nicky when
he arose this morning was his CON-

So little had he expected rearrest

looked as If the needfuI s25,ooo bail

SUITE HOMES AND THEIR ROMANCE

LEW young couples in the Big
City-of-Bluff began their
married existence with
greater promise of happiness than
did Mr.. and Mrs. Claude Turpin.
They felt no especial animosity
toward each other; they were
comfortably established in hand
some apartment house that had
name and accommodations like
those of sleeping-car; they were
living as expensively as the cou-
pie on the next floor above VINO
had twice their income; and their
marriage had occurred on a wager
on ferryboat and first acquaint-
snce. thus securing a sensational
newspaper notice with their
names attached to pictures OF the
Queen OF Roumania and NJ. SAN

ideal one according to the rules
