This is probably the only tea
shop in town that sells on the aver

One Of the specialties here is
waffles made Of q biscuit dough,
which is much lighter than the
dough prepared for biscuits. Other

tea shop makes from corn batter,

RAILWAYS USE FOURTH

Electric street railways OF the
United States, according to the U.
s. Department of Commerce, dur
ing 1922 used more than one-quar-
ter of all the electric energy gen.
Grated in the country. The total
current produced by the electric
plants Of the nation in 1922 was
slightly In excess of $4,000, 600 600
kilowatt hours and 1t Is estimated
that the total production for 1928
was approximately $4,000 .ooO, 900
kilowatt hours.
This production, If used for no
other purpose, would have put at
the disposal Of each man, woman
and child Of the country sufficient
electrical current go that they
might have all kept a twenty-five
watt electric bulb lighted seven
hours each day Of the entire year.

Put the Right Foot First
When Getting Out of Bed

In getting out of bed in the morning
always take care to place the right
foot first, or the day will be unlucky !
Many otherwise practical people also
take care to place the right foot first
when entering a house.
The origin of the very common
superstition with regard to the right
foot is easily accounted for by asso-
citation. 1t is a psychological offspring
Of the word right" and Its meaning
Of 'in conformity with moral law, per-
mitted by the principle which ought to
regulate conduct" and so on.
The word as applied to the side of
the human body which is toward the
east when the face is turned to the
north Is OF exactly the same deriva-
ton, and owes its present application
to the fact that most people are right
handed" and therefore the right hand
Is the right hand to do things with.
BY extension the word came to cover
that whole side Of the body. And so,
in getting out Of bed, II the right foot
Is right, the left foot must be wrong.
Moreover, the word left is from the
Anglo-Saxon, meaning worthless and,
applied originally to the left arm, has
suffered the same extension as the
word right" over the one side OF the
body.
