Hyoienic DISTINGUISHING.

The hygienic importance of electric
port by Surgeon j. G. Cummings OF
the United States army. Investigating
the effects of the influenza epidemic
in institutions having quarter of a
million people, it was found othat
where dishes We're washed by hand
there were 324 cases of the disease
per 1000 persons but in hotels and
other places having electric dish
washers the rate was only One-third
as great, or 10S per 1000 The wash
ing by the machines is. not only more
thorough than hand washing, but
hotter water is used and. this insures
more effective sterilization.

PUPPY AND THE Fowl


THE Barnyard Fowl lived very
comfortable with old Towser,
but when Jack Puppy came
there to live they found out they knew
nothing about dogs.
81 thought all dogs were good" said
old Brown Hen, looking after her bit
Of bread which Jack had stolen and
run off with Il wish l could catch
him and give him a sharp peck"
"He tipped over my dish of mush
this morning and then rolled In 1t"
said Nine. Duck, with snap of her
big bill. "He could not eat that either,
and my little ones had no breakfast"
At last the ducks and hens could
stand it no longer and then went to
old Towser and told their troubles.
"You must help u.s." said old Brown
Hen. 81 should think you would be
tired of having him snatch your food,
too. l saw him run off with bone
you were eating the other day.
''What is the matter with you, Tow
ser? You would have chased another
dog and shaken him."
"Oh, Jack Is young" said Towser.
81 don't mind him, and you know,
Mrs. Brown Hen, we dogs must have
our day; besides that, l was young
once myself and had to sow my wiid
oats. just like Jack is sowing now.
"It is plain we must take matters
into our own hands," said Old Brown
Hen. ''Towser will not help us, so we
better call a meeting and see what
can be DONE"
That afternoon under the currant
hushes at the end of the garden all
the hens and ducks and Mr.. Rooster
held a meeting.
Jack Puppy ran all around the
BARNARD trying to find them, and
when at last they returned he ran at
them barking and jumping. Make

The Right Thing
at the Right Time
pv MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE

and put things to rights in the living
room, and light the lights and do the
dozen of last-minute things that ought
to have been done In the last hour
not in the last minute.
Most of US have been in some such
predicament, and, remembering this.
it behOoves us to remember to go
home before we have worn out our
welcome.
This Is just one of the occasions
when guest should make an early de-
parture. There are many others.
A caller on sick person should al
ways make short call, unless by
staying for longer, specified time,
she can relieve the nurse.
When guests are expected, a caller
should always take her departure
promptly. If unexpected callers ar.
rive, the first cOmers should go be-
fore many minutes have passed.
If there is illness In the house, a
caller should not keep the members
of the household very long. Even If
they are not bearing the duties Of
nurse, they probably have many calls
on their time
If your hostess is going out later In
the afternoon--if you have found out
this to be the case I'm some chance
manner-you should not keep her in,
even If she protests that she is In no
hurry.
Put yourself in the place of the
hostess on all occasions when you
are wondering whether or not it is
time to go home.

Would Signal Correct Time.

A dimming of electric lights each
night at eight o'clock as a national
time signal is being urged as a meas
ure that will distribute the correct
time regularly to all who are within
sight of an electric light In the same
way that the time ball is dropped
down the staff at noon and clocks
are regulated by telegraphic or radio
signals from the naval observatory in

= ETWEEN the proper use Of the

use of differ with" there is q
lear distinction, although it is for
gotten frequently, even by some writers
and speakers who are careful in the
Use of words.
For person to differ from another
Or for thing to differ from another
he or it must be unlike, In appearance
in manner, or in some other character
istic, while to differ with person
means to disagree with him in opin-

hat, while a thing may differ from

T HE toy zoetrope was the grand
father of the mOtiOn-picture ma

ed by w. E. Lincoln, 1867. In 1869

projected moving pictures" from a
series of glass plates. Muybridge, in
1880, also produced q glass-plate ma
chine NJ. Marcy, of the French in

and Lumiere, in 1893, invented the
