One Thing He Remembers
The Toast to the Bride

Forgets the maximum Of duties. The one
thing he is certain 10 remember is that it's
up to him at the wedding supper to propose
toast to the bride. That he is apt to do several
times, becoming quite ebullient about it.
Utterly fails 20 bolster up the morale Of the
bridegroom while waiting for the zero hour.
Tries every pocket in his suit as the most
convenient cache for the ring and forgets
where it is each time. His final selection
probably is the pocket with the hole in it.
Is seized with nervous chills at the thought
of having to slip something to a man Of God
for holy act If the knot is to be tied with
a double mitch and both bishop and minister
are officiating. the best man doubtless will get
the stipends mixed and give the bishop the
short end.

"%HEY call him the Best Man-but is he'
That fellow who Is stationed in sup

lis he the best man for the job!
Alas. no. Almost always he is the very worst
Having made this damaging admission,
which will be heartily subscribed to by all
who have ever been concerned in weddings
except by few Of the deluded Best Men
themselves. let US fearlessly face the facts;
let rs bid a spade spade; let US call the big
ehump who loses the ring the Worst Man
For that is what he is.
1t is time something Is done about the
Worst Man. Too long has he enjoyed immu-
nity from the fact Of his insignifcance, for
ii there is anybody who is less noticed at a
wedding than the bridegroom it is the Worst
Man. The hour he struts upon the stage is
indeed brief. He gives the bridegroom the
ring, the maid Of honor an arm and the min

GERMS KILLED BY SUNLIGHT
In That Way Water Is Kept Compare.
lively Free From Infection That
Would Spread Disease.

There are few more wonderful sights
in the world than a winding river
shining in the sunlight. But our in
terest in such scene may be greatly
heightened by the reflection that the
sunbeams are not merely identifying
the water; they are engaged in a cur
iOus work Of the utmost Importance to
mans welfare, Scientific investigation
has proved that sunlight possesses a
wonderful power to kill injurious
germs in river water.
where river Is polluted by sewage,
millions and millions of dangerous
bacteria flourish in its water and are
carried along with it to spread dis
ease and death around its banks unless
their development is arrested If the
sun does not shine upon such a river
it may become a peril to whole COM
munities. But If the sunlight does
reach it freely, the germs are de-
strOyed and the water is kept com
paratively free from infection.
