What English Wives DO

George Bernard Shaw, in an article on nervous.
ness says when you meet an Englishman who has
been completely upset by unpeaslntness at home
and ask him what has happened he will say to you
Il made perfectly harmless remark at breakfast
and my wife went off the deep end
1t is plain after reading Mr.. Shaws explanation
that going off the deep end is very much like "Ay

Englishmans power of description When an Amer
lean let's it be known his wife is in the habit OF
flying off the handle the people of any land will
understand just what it is his wife does. Even un
civilized races would need explanation, because
since mankind first worked with tools there has been
the dread OF having something fly off the handle

Perhaps we are too material in our

Any one with a congregation too
small to support it is not reaching
its spiritual good to many people.
The same with newspaper, consid-
cred not as a business, but as pub

If it has not enough to pay, it has
too few to exert any very wide in

Anyhow. by our way of measuring

New York Misery loves company,
they say, and birds Of a feather flock
together.
In a brown-stone front on Thirty
third street, opposite the Pennsyl-
vania Station, there live two legless
men who propel themselves around
town on roller-skate boards. In the
same house there is one-legged
man and an armless man. All Of
them earn their daily bread and
cakes by peddling lead pencils and
shoestrings.
They go out together when on
pleasure bent, but go their various
ways when working at their trade.
The dilapidated old house in which
they live serves as club house as we'll
as residence for them, for in the
mornings they have their poker
games and other sports. They are
on the street at night when the
pleasureseeking crowds are out.
1t appears that my enthusiasm
over the freshness of sea food at
Sheepshead Bay may have been
| slightly out of order. AL Nesensohn
| who lives down there, reports that
on some days the local fishermen do
not have much luck and then they
drive to town and buy cold storage
| fish by the barrel to sell in the wa
terfront restaurants. Which proves,
at least, that Sheepshead Bay is
, really part Of New York
Whenever the management Of a
| play invests in such permanent adj
| vertising as painted billboards you
may be assured that his play has
every expectancy Of long run. For
| miles about, as far away as Phila-
| delphia, painted signs proclaim the
success of what Price Glory"
Prominent among the crowds that
patronize the night clubs are three
divorced couples of the stage. While
they couldn't endure each other as
husband and wife, it seems that aft
err their divorces they found new
attractions in their previous mates.
Boys who shine shoes in City Hall
Park have found a way to solve
their problems in competition. Here
tofore they all rushed at once upon
prospective patron and since only
one of them could land the prospect
the others wasted much energy and
occasionally missed job. Now thew
f, have blocked off segments Of the
pavement in various colored chalts,
each writing his name on the walk.
Thus the passerby is greeted with u
barrage Of entreaties to have his
shoes shined as he walks across the
park.

ADVENTURE OF

When the Twins and the clock
fairy had left the house where the
cuckoo clock lived, Nancy asked,
Where shall we 60 next, Tick Took :?
Are there any more clocks to mend ?"
"Any more?" cried the clock fairy
merrily. well, l should say so
millions and millions. only we won't
be able to get to all of them tonight.
Only few, fear. l thought we
would 60 to visit the old banjo clock
next"
That's a funny name," laughed
Nick. "Can it play banjo?"
mo-" said Tick Took. but it
looks like a banjo, except that the
lower end is bigger than the end of
banjo. But come on, we are los
ing time"
Off trotted the little clock fairy,
the Twins following with the things
they were to carry.
At last they came to jewelers.
shop where the banjo clock had been
sent to be mended.
"There it is in the window" said
Tick Took, pressing his face close
to the glass.
The Twins peeped in too, and what
do you think! The old clock winked
at them and beckoned with it's hands.
"Ali right! We're coming!" cried
Tick Took. jumping up to the door

kev-hole to turn the lock.
In trice they were inside and in
another trice they were in the win

clocks that had been sent to be
mended.
But none were so interesting as
the old banjo clock that hung on the
wall.
He had an acorn for top-knot,

with glass front, with flowers and
birds painted on it in colors. The
lower part had painting on it too.

Surgeon General, United States

luDuC HedItn service
The tubercle bacillus, which is the
germ causing tuberculosis, is cast
out in the sputum of tuberculous
patient or is found in the milk from
tuberculous cows.
This germ will live for many
months in water or in the soil and
is not destroyed by the lowest win
ter temperatures. In dark room
or hall it will live for months, al
though it is killed by direct sun
light in few hours and bv good
strong daylight in few days.
The danger of infection from the
tubercle bacillus is greatest in young
children. Young infants, when in
fected, sometimes die quickly of gen
eral tuberculosis, tuberculosis men
nights or intestinal tuberculosis. The
younger the child the greater is the
danger. Children under, two years
of age should be given absolute pro-
lection from infection.
Dirt serves as an envelope to pro-
tect the germ Of tuberculosis from
light and so acts as. preservative.
For this reason, rooms should no.,
be dry swept nor should buster Of
feathers or dry cloth be used.
The floor Of. a room occupied by
a sufferer from tuberculosis should
be uncarpeted in order that it may
be cleaned by scrubbing thoroughly
with soap and water.
A boiling temperature kills the
tubercle bacillus il: few minutes
and boiling in water is one of the
best ways to disinfect bed clothing,
body clothing, and handkerchiefs,
napkins, and towels which the tuber-
culosis patient has used.
Carpets, rugs, and clothing which
would be injured by boiling may he
treated by sprinkling the articles
we'll with formalin and then wrap
ping them up as nearly alright as
possible in paper or inclosing them
in tight chest or a small closet
They should be kept confined in
the fumes Of the formalin for TWEEN
ty-four hours and then thoroughly
aired. If this is not we'll done it is
Of little or no use.
HOW TO COMBAT
INFECTION
Soap and water for floors and a
wet cloth with which to wipe fur
niture are the best agents to combat
infection.
Considerable sums Of money are
spent by we'll meaning people who
wish to prevent others from becom-
ing infected with tuberculosis in
purchasing antiseptics which are
wholly worthless for this particular
purpose, however efficient they might
be If applied directly to the germ.
There is no antiseptic which has
any practical value in the daily
cleaning Of the house.

After years Of contact with the leaders OF or

"Besdes each of us working ndivid

In the long run, it is not in the power Of
any outside force to lower the standard OF
living of the American working man, unless
the American working man does it himself.
If the wageworkers show farsighed pru-
dcncc in their combinations, industrial and
political, their ultimate welfare is assured.
Let us strive to make the conditions of
