TOM P. MARTIN IS
BURIED IN CUTHBERT
YOUNG MAN WAS ACCIDENT.
ALLY DROWNED AT DE-

A telegram received in Cuthbert on
Monday, June 10th, contained the sad
news that Tom P. Martin had been &C
cidentally drowned at Detroit, No de-
tails of the flair have been received by
his relatives. A cousin living in De-
troit, John B. Martin, telegraphed that
he would leave Tuesday with the
body, which arrived on Wednesday
afternoon and the funeral services
were held at 5 o'clock. Interment was
in Western cemetery at Cuthbert
The news was a shock to his par
ents, brother and sisters and other rel
atives, and caused many of his friends
to mourn with them.
Tom Martin, as he was generally
called in Cuthbert, was the son OF Mr..
and Mrs ]. w. Martin, jr., of that
city. He resided in Cuthbert during
the greater portion of his boyhood and
several years after reaching maturity.
CT bright mind and pleasant manners
he made friends easily. For several
years he was employed in the post
office and become assistant postmaster.
Being ambitious and believing that
the north offered greater opportuni-
ties he located in Detroit about two
years ago, and was advancing in the
business world. In his spare time he
studied to fit himself for more respon-
sible duties, and had made prepara-
lions to move to New York.
His sud d en- death blighted a
promising career and brought sadness
to many who loved him.

BEWARE OF The COLD
KISS, DOCTOR WARNS
ONLY THEN IS 1T DANGEROUS
HE DECLARES. ADVICE AS
TO OSCILLATION.

Kiss hygiene has long been sub
iect for technical discussion by
squawking sages and wary wiseacres
of the ages, but when one would
whether yea or nay-one will.
OF course, there are kisses and kiss
es. There is the candy kiss from the
store and the candy kiss which we get
second-handed from the kids rosy
sticky lips. There are chaste and chas-
ed kisses. Many an elusive maid has
given man good sprint for his de-
sired sweet.
"Pros and cons" as to the desira-
bility or harm to be derived from os-
culation may be CLEANED from the news
of the day.
A notice promulgated at Northwest
ern university warns against the use
of cps" as the formation OF the mouth
which this letter naturally neceSSitates
produces mouth too kiSsable to re-
sist-and so this deadly warning of
watch your p's," instead of "p's and
as" has put the students IN a dread
full quandry. The bashful maids must
avoid Pardon me" Please pass me"
pea soup" "Pearch,' - and whether
she will be, able to ask for anything at
| all to eat is question.
Another warning was issued in Gin
cinnati. Leo B. Forst, retiring head of
the United States pure food and drug
| laboratory, has declared;
1T has been the custom among some
girls to scent their lips with violet, or
rose toilet waters. This custom gave
rise to the perfumed kiss. The govern
ment now is warning women not to
annoint their lips with these perfumes,
because any one kissing them might
receive a violent chemical reaction"
So beware of the kiss with a kick!
Not so long ago this use of disin-
feCtants and cosmetics on the lips was
used by Albert Gloyd, of Denver, Col,
in an action for divorce. He said his
wife persisted in "sterilizing his kisses
by using rouge on her lips"
However, here is a man with a good
word for kissing.
Kisses are dangerous only when
cold. Oscillation is the greatest disin-
fectant so far discovered
This wisdom was uttered by DR..
Simon Louis Katzoff, doctor of philos-
ophy, at a meeting OF the Bridgeport
Philosophical society.
Some psychologists would have
us carry around a jugful OF carbohc
acid or other germicide to wash our
lips before kissing" he amplihed.
They forget that heat is the greatest
antiseptic known, and that the heat
generated by kiss destroys the sup
posed germ.
Among sweethearts-thatis is, among
flowers, for lovers are the only kind
of weethearts-kissing sends forth
ETHEREAL and hypnotic waves, travelling
with great velocity, electrifying and re-
juvenating every cell structure of the
body so that next to love itself it be
comes the most potent agency for
courage, optimism, hope and health.
| Which practically sums up the good
of kiss-for courage, optimism, hope,
health and longevity surely ought to
mean happiness.-Exchange.
