BY BEkTON BRALEY.
THE GARAGE MAN.

THE GARAGE MAN.
Oh. motorists, bid you all observe this indi-
yidual.
Who never has bit Of time for play;
To judge by bills he tenders you for service
that he renders you
There's forty hours in every working dav,
In winter-time or clover-time he's always toll
ing overtime
Cat any rate it reads so on the blls)
And yet he bears with bravery this unremittiny
And prospers while he goes the pace that
kills. '
Your motor runs unsteadily: He looks it over
readily,
Then shakes his head and says. with man
Wen have to take the car apart, your gears
are running far apart,
Your cra1kshafts bent-the job will take a
week."
Complaining very fretfully, you leave the car
regretfully,
And when you're gone he takes vour ,;,ir,
And runs it for chug or two puts in a new
spark-plug or two
And-soaks you sixty bucks when You re-
turn!
Black grease is on his fingers there. I don't
see how it fingers there.
The way he wipes it OF upon your naint
And on your seats luxurious, but though It's
very curious,
His hands retain their black and erimv
faint:
We curse his rates burslarious. We knock his
notions various,
We say he's only out to gouge and rob
But when the car runs jumpily and jerkily and
grumpily,
Oh. gosh. xe.re glad to hare him on tho job,

C0ASPEv2lUm VI NC xynSAASs
A schdDl principal out west pro-
poses this text:
Will you please send me in
formation concerning the proper
care of the throat with special
reference to keeping the tonsils
from becoming diseased?
Is Answering THIS in the tightening
calculator fashion in order to keep
up with my mail, told the prin-
cipal that the only care could
suggest was to leave 'em thorough
ly alone, and to strive to avoid the
respiratory infections by keeping
outside OF the five foot barrage.
After / had mailed the answer a
very strange and unaccustomed
feeling came over me, feeling
that maybe the principal was a
regular human being and deserved
more compassion or something. So
I decided to work it over into q
sermon.
Thinking it over leisurely, what
is the popular belief about protec-
ton of the throat? That one with
sore throat or one afraid of sore
throat should wear a rag, as it is
conventionally called, around the
neck, or some extra clothing. That,
of course, is a confession of faith in
! taking cold as the cause of sore
throat, tonsilitis, diphtheria and
the like. All very we'll for old la
dies in their dotage, but not prop
erly discussed in talk about con-
servation of the tonsils.
Taking a stride forward, to about
the antiseptic era, what is the sue
cessor? That one with sore throat
or tonsilitis or infected or dis
eased tonsils should gargle till he
is blue in the face and fat in the
pocketbook, with some antiseptje
solution, on the schoolboy theory
that the antiseptic will destroy OF
discourage the germs in the ton
sils. All very well for the un.
sophisticated, but the scientific fact
is that no known antiseptic used as
a gargle or any other way will de.
| esA " VA NioSouA oSC SCI lilo LII tut
tonsils without dangerously I'M
juring the throat; and the practical
truth is, as any one with common
sense should see, that antiseptics
used in gargles do not accomplish
what they purport to accomplish.
Taking another skip and jump
forward, this time well into the
modern era, how about conserva-
tive treatment for enlarged, in
fected, diseased or in1amed ton.
sils? Here we may pause for some
conversation about conservation OF
the tonsils. Topical or local appli
cations of medicaments to the ton
sils and their crypts, by the ply
stefan or sometimes by a mother
with tact and adeptness, will over
come some tonsil troubles which
might otherwise progress to ser
ious conditions amenable only Il
radical surgery. X-ray or radiuu
treatment is sufficient for some
cases of enlarged, diseased or in
fected tonsils, but the total value
of this kind of treatment is still t.

MRS. HALAND'S STORY.

Copyright, 1922, by the Wheeler
Syndicate, Inc.)
One night in late December
swapping cold night in 191S-Mrs.
Haland told this story that | am
about to repeat. Phoebe Haland,
my husbands aunt, was then about
10, sincerely pious woman who
was temporarily making her home
with us while her two sons, both
surgeons, were overseas with the
Yankee division.
My. husband had just finished
reading aloud newspaper article
about a house in our neighbor-
hood that was supposed to- be
haunted. The article gave the his
tory of the house and list of its
former owners, who had found it
advisable to sell the place soon
after moving in. The last owner
had bought the place for almost
nothing, and after a weeks trial
he, too, moved out, and told the
world, through the newspapers
that he would have the place torn
down in the spring.
THAT ghost talk is all bosh," my
husband declared. "a house gets a
name for being haunted, and then
everyone that moves into it is or
the lookout. for spooks and-and
their Imagination does the rest"
The newspaper fiuttered, and we
Mrs. Haland and /, continued with
our knitting and waited to heal
some more news. Then Mrs. Ha.
land looked at me over the top o.
her steel-rimmed spectacles ant
said:
"A good deal of it is both, nc
doubt, but there are, am sure
troubled souls that for one reason
or another return and make them
selves seen or felt" Mrs. Haland
put down her knitting and her ser.
ious, kindly old eyes narrowed ant
she took long look into the face
of Time before she spoke.
"It will be so years next May
May 10-since I was married." sht
began, "and we started house
keeping in little house that i!
still standing in a small village {
mile or two beyond Hartford

"She was tall, thin woman, ant

Mrs. Haland took up her knittin,

"and think that Mrs. Wright wa,

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

I have had stomach trouble foI
some time .. doctor fears
chronic appendicitis, and to avoid

me to have an X-ray examination

MRS. F. S. c.
Answer-Probably not. Many in
dividuals are carrying pieces o
hypodermic needle in their tissue
without being aware of it.
Fragile Neither Limbs.
I think you claim the presen
disgraceful fashion of short skirt

girls and women who wear shor
skirts and sheer hose in the win
ter suffer bad results-how do yo1
explain the greater number of wo
| men who break their legs from
slipping on icy walks or steps il
the winter time? MRS. P. -
Answer-In one sense, it is no
| the group you describe that fur

but rather the women who wea
long skirts and everything. Som

look frightfully fragile, to be sure
But these short skirted creature
