FOR MORE PALATABLE STAMPS

When unnamed hero suggested to the postoffice
department at Washington that favored glue be placed
on postage stamps, postofce officials not little
amused and amazed but made no move to deny that the
"stickum" on the stamps is unpaatabe, if not down.
right nauseating.
It may not be strong selling point in stamps to
flavor them with peppermint, Glove spearmint but
there is something to be said for the proposed nnova
tion.
The plan was proposed scheme to make less dis
tasteful the afxng Of stamps and to increase the sale
Of stamps and the number Of oybrnging letters Pic
ture the tremendous volume Of business the postoffce
has lost through this quite general dislike for licking
postage stamps But might not favored postage stamps
find great demand as CONNECTION or breath scent?
A man feels q longing for certain punsent flavor.
Where can he buy it so cheapy Z stamp? Having
extracted the mind from the stamp he will, If he be
thrifty, write letter lest the mailing worth Of the
stamp b wasted.
It has been suggested that it is good opportunity for
the government to kill three birds with stone. The
stamps might be favored with confscated liquors. thus
providing postage favors without cost to the postoffce
department, satisfying the taste for liquor Of those
scofflaws who say they only want taste and making
It unnecessary to pollute the with the contra
hand booze.

A BAD BREATH

The odor Of 4 bad breath has an
unpleasant resemblance to that Of
sewer gas, and principally from the
reason that they are both caused by
decaying food material. An offensive
breath indicates some diseased condi-
ton. such a. decayed teeth, catarrh
LOT the nose, throat and bronchial
tubes, or digestive disturbances.
AS has often been delicately limited
at in advertisements, bad breath is
social and business handicap. It
stretches the ties Of friendship to
the breaking point. A man with
halitosis who is counting maid US
ually finds that with her, his first
kiss is his last. It is impossible to
be affectionate to the one who has q
barrier Of poison gas.
The most unpleasant odors Of the
breath are caused by some decompo-
sition Of organic particles, and are
offensive for the same reason as is
the flesh Of decaying animal. The
breath Of a really healthy person has
a decidedly pleasant odor, family
suggestive of mellow apples. The
wholesome breath Of = baby is q de-
light to its mother until the child has
been given wrong foods to eat.
When there are decayin1 products
in the intestinal tract, the blood is
bound to absorb these products and
carry some Of them to be discharged
through the lungs, bronchial and
nasal passages. These cases can
only be cured by following . cleans
ing diet until the toxins have been
removed The mouth should be kept
clean by frequent washings, and bad
teeth should be cared for by dentists.
A foul breath is an indication Of in
ternal uncleanliness and is so Of
fenslve because it is actually to some
extent poisonous to others.
A very good regime for clarifying
the breath is to follow an exclusive
acid fruit diet for time. have an
article called Fasting and Dieting
for Health" which outlines the cor
rect regime to accomplish this, and /
will be glad to send it to anyone who
sends me a large, self-addressed,
stamped envelope.
Some foods in themselves, such as
onions and garlic, produce a bad
breath, and since there are laws to
prevent smoking in some public
places, / think that some wise coun-
Gilman could make himself famous by
introducing q law to prevent onion
eaters from attending picture shows
and dances.
One becomes 50 accustomed to his
own bad breath that he ceases to no
tice it, and unless some kind friend
tactfully suggests that he use q rem
edy for halitosis, he is apt to neglect
this important social courtesy.

AN INJUSTICE TO FLYING
Duluth Herald)

Sunday ten men were killed and others hurt, some Of
them dangerously, in flying accidents.
The Associated Press in handling this news, does
wholesome thing when it points out that in nearly all
cases these accidents due to stunt flying to
the use Of freak planes.
needs to be pointed out that where flying is done
in proved arpanes with plenty Of power and poted by
experienced there very few accidents probably
few there on railroads and fewer, certainly,
than those caused by automobiles.
We hear of the crashes, but we seldom hear Of the
fact that where flying routes definitely established
where the pilots qualified and experienced the per-
centage Of accidents is very small indeed.
This all means Of course that fiers who do needless
stunts who planes not surely SAFE and who fly alone
before they competent to fly are doing the
Of aviation very great injury by preudicing the pop
uar mind against it through exaggerated idea Of its
danger.

Washington, Sept. 13.-Nearly
everyone has a watch, wrist or pock-
ct, so the Smithsonian Institution
has added an exhibit to it's great
museum which shows how that hap
pened.
The collection was donated by q
New Haven company and includes
many old specimens Of clocks and
watches which show the development
Of timepieces. The water clock that
Archimedes constructed isn't among
it, but there are more than enough
old time instruments to demonstrate
the evolution.
King Alfred Of England is credited
with inventing the time-keeping can
die, as well as the first horn lamp
shade, and the Smithsonian has such
a candle-not King Alfred's-which
was marked off in numbered spaces
and intended to burn equal lengths in
a given time.
Somewhat similar is an old oil
lamp which has the hours marked
off in similar spaces oh the glass oil
container which rests above the wick.
AS the oil burnt slowly it fell and
drained off the hours:
Various types of hourglasses, Of
course, including one set Of four
teenth century glasses found in
Nuremburg in which the dropping
sands not only indicated the passing
Of hours but also of quarter hours
and the half hour.
Spain contributed a sundial used
by spheherds and carried in the
Pocket. Perhaps this was the first
watch. It's tiny ivory cylinder
with queer curves on which the
shadows traced the passage Of time
The Germans were experts in early
Matchmaking and clockmaking and
the exhibit contains beautiful ivory
pocket sundials. One is a seven.

and Japan.

Since its opening in New York at
the Warner Theatre, where its sue.
cess was instantaneous, it has estab-
lished record Of capacity audiences
at every performance. The story Of
"The Jazz Singer" is well known,
and yet, under the direction Of A Ian
Crosland, who has treated the story
in the spirit in which it was con-
ceived, there has been added a note
Of great beauty and pathos in the
depletion Of the rise Of the son of the
cantor who deserted his home to be
a jazz singer, for it parallels the life
story of AL Jolson himself. It is
a picture which arouses its audiences

Answer: The fruits and vese-
tables are all alkaline forming, with
the exception Of rhubarb, plums and
cranberries, which contain IN or.
ganic acid that is not oxidized by
people suffering from acidosis.
Cereals, legumes and meats, while
they contain valuable elements for
the body, are slightly acid forming,
and since they contain elements
which are valuable to the body, their
acidity should be counteracted by
using large quantities Of alkaline
forming foods, being careful, hoy
ever, not to combine the acid fruiVb
with any Of the starchy foods. An

New York, Sept. 13.-In this mo-

PATIENCE

In retrospect, events may seem to have moved swiftly
enough, and we may think also that other men make
quick progress towards but it is rarely that
own fate and fortunes unfold at the pace we would
choose. Our ambition lays out hopeful course which
we are confident we follow; eyes have already
the desired destination and therefore, our heart
and hopes outstrip the slow passage Of events.
Interruptions and disappointmens, irksome trivial
and beyond anticipation and CONTROL arise daily to
check and prolong abors and it needs no less pa
thence than endurance to weather such small storms and
accidents
But the passage Of time in itself contributes to real
achievement, and for this may forgive the delays
that prevent from too headlong Time per-
ms to mature in orderly fashion to the scale Of
ambitions time leavens enthusiasm with judgment
and sefconfidence with proper humility; time teaches
proportion and shows where best work belongs
This is slow alchemy but necessary to ourselves and
the work to which we are dedicated.
True patience is not merely dull endurance of the
hazards Of fortune It is rather the habit of turning
to account the changes and chances that lie in
our path, that when our high opportunity comes
may be ready for it,
Ocean flights spectacular but you can get the
results by walking lonely street with some
thing like payroll satchel.
Still, good provider would be just as popular as
perfectly wonderful dancer girl could use him to
make others envious
