AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

We wish 10 acknowledge receipt

in a great many respects In the
first place we have been unable TO
discover any Joe Milers in il; which
would be extremely useful TO Ye

parture from the city TO attend the
annual convention o. advertising
men of the United States al Milwau-
kee.
Besides missing the jokes. there is
something also lacking that is usu-
ally to be found in all principal
almanacs, viz: The man posing in
the altogether on the chart that you
are supposed TO look at and tell
whether you are sick or well. You
viii probably remember the picture
IL We tell you that usually the sketch
makes the man look like he had a
storage battery for a stomach. The
trouble with this illustration we have
reference to. that we say has been
eliminated for some reason or other
from Eds almanac. is that If you
are not already ailing you soon will
be, after studying this picture for
few minutes.

THE SEX OF SALAMANDERS.

French scientists have been fooling with the
salamander. the little lizard that superstition and
tradition accredts with the power Of living in fire
unframed
by feeding the male salamander, they claim TO
have turned him into his sister. Starving the female
@ the species changes her to a male.
Now, says science. it may some day be possible TO
change human beings at will by process OF feeding
or starving, metamorphzing the gaunt bread-winner
into the sleek and protected by the right kind
of food or starving the downtrodden wife into
foragEg and adventurous knight, thoroughly able
to cope with the mans world"
Highly imaginary. of course but It is interesting
# arouses thought whether any PERSON would
really wish to change that status of life which is
fixed by the accident or fate of sex.
Would that wife, who has found her happiness in
the love of children, who times against
the sacrifices necessary their welfare. who feels,
often, herself limited by her household cares really
change places with the husband who has provided
that home and whose daily toll also has its limita-
tons upon life?
Would the father grouchng at times at the hard
Of life and wondering what his wife really does
with all her spare time if he had the choice change
places with her?
Would the girl who works in store or factory,
thinking in off moments of the dance next night
and of the dress she will shift and turn into some
thing different than she week. change her
Place for that of the youth who INDUCES also in
his dreams-of her-as he works away a fac
tory down the street?
Would the boy, proud OF his letter his ath-
letc sweater, willingly trade places with the girl
who has just amazed the Professors with her grasp
CT abstruse subjects Of mathematics philosophy?
Would that dramatic star who feels the thrill Of
success applause drifts into the wings az she
finishes her last shift with the matinee idol
bows to the handclaps of dealizing maidens?
IF man" has often been the hurried
wish of many women. especially in anger, but
do they it?
These women have easy time of life" often
the sigh of men who worried by what seems to
them idleness, but that hardly a we'll considered
thought.
Nature. which has developed a difference Of
sexes. also equips the minds OF the sexes with a
sense Of satisfaction appreciation of their own
condition.
So. while these scientists dabble with salamanders
change them at will, they say their work is as
useless for humanity the game of marbles played
by newsboys in back alley.
Right off the bat, if you had the power to change
your sex. would you it-or think about it?

FLY THE FLAG.

Today IS the birthday OF TIE nag. those glorious
stars and Stripes which wave the Of liberty.

on June "a. 1877. the Continental Congress
adopted this as the symbol OF national unity the
trademark as Il were. OF that spirit in the heart
or a new nation which destined 10 change the
entire course o. human history.
Il is the visual emblem OF that mighty force
which has lifted mankind from traditions or Bonded
knee and servile tongue TO outstanding stature Of
eve to eye and substituted only conscience as the
mentor of SPOKEN thought.
II has always been held in reverence. never in
fear. It has been loved. never hated. by all who
had the slightest vestige OF human brotherhood in
his heart.
It's stars. its stripes its red and blue and white
have been invitation TO the downtrodden.
never a threat OF tyrannical authority.
Men loving liberty have folded Il to their breasts
and died upon field Of battle happy to sacrifice
their lives for liberty.
Under It's protecting folds, equality became more
than a phrase.
Il has never been raised in dishonor nor lowered

Just Folks

THE SMALL BOY TELLS
They say that the trouble with me is
I go
Out to the neighbors and tell all
know;
That when I'm at the table I'm Ger
tain TO spread
What ever is done and whatever is
said,
And they shut up like oysters when
ever I'm there
But Pa didn't like it when Sis bob
bed her hair.
Ma says it's all right ana she thinks
il looks fine,
But Pa said: L vowed that no
daughter of mine
Should dress like a happer, and
walk through the streets
To be winked at by every young
fellow she MEETS"
He was mad as a hornet and cross
as a bear
And kicked UP a rumpus when Sis
bobbed her hafr.
Ma said that she's got to dress just
like the girls
And nowadays nobody's wearing
long curls,
And Aunty spoke up and said:
Just wait a bit.
You'll like # that way when you
get used to it,"
But Pa banged the table, and said:
Il could swear
At such a fool fashion" when Sis
bobbed her hair.
Ma thinks It looks lovely. and sister
is glad,
And the servant is sure that it
doesn't look bad.
But Pas mad about it He said: Il
don't care,
I thought you'd more sense than 70
cut off your hair
But don't go and tell them that
told you So
Cause they say that tell everything
I know.

to-hand conflict and the cavalry pur-
sue the enemy. But with it all there
must be a spy system, a secret
service department. reaching every
where to make absolutely certain
that the protection is perfect.
Follows the Nerve.
Besides the essential part il plays
in the circulation of the blood and
in digestion, the sympathetic nervous
system is part of the spy system, on
guard 1T all the OutpOsts of the body.
Its fbres are distributed everywhere
nerves of sensation go, so that every
part of the skin is ready to notify
the brain of danger or disturbance
to the body.
OF necessity such a delicate and
complex system is likely 10 get out
Of order. It's blood supply may be
damaged or actual injury may de-
range its functions.
The ganglion 1 have described is
in a sense the brain or central office
Of the sympathetic ibres Of that par
ticular nerve. If something causes
the corrhage within it's structure,
or if inflammation attacks the gang
lion. there Is disturbance in all the
hbres of the nerve, and this is MOTTO
ed particularly in the surface areas
supplied by the endings of the nerve.
Trouble of this sort is called
shingles" or herpes zOster." 1t is
given the former names because the
trouble takes the form of an erHption
extending around one side of the
body like a girdle.
1t is characteristic Of the disease
that the disturbance is limited
strictly TO one side. It never crosses
the middle line. First there are
redness and slight swelling. Then
little blisters form.
Herpes zoster is a painful and dis
agreeable condition. 1t is not at all
dangerous except in the very old, but
certainly il is decidedly uncomfort-
able. For days before the eruption
appears, there may be pain. For in
stance, there may be pain in the side
Of the chest, in the back Of the neck,
on the point Of the shoulder. or over
the eve and up the side Of the head.
The location of the pain depends,
of course. on what nerve IS involved
If il is one of the scervical nerves,
the pain is in the neck, shoulder and
upper part Of the arm and chest.
old people suffer more than do
Younger persons and severe neuralgia
pain may persist for months after
the eruption has healed and the
acute SYMPTOMS have Subsided The
skin may be tender for weeks.
