lad avowed. "You CANT cover it up

Midnight took the boots to DEM

whole job.
Next Shot gave attention to his
pants.
He had come to the Phantom
rancho with his clothing and such
in the customary duffel bag. Duffel
bags are useful, but untidy. They
wrinkle things sadly. Shot had to
pav fat Concha, the Mexican wom-
an, quarter to press his best
pants and his best silk shirt, which
was a bright yellow one used at
rodeos. and to wash out and dry
him some clean underwear. He
swapped haircuts with another
cowboy-doing and getting a sur
prlsingly good job. Incidentally
then took a bath in the crude show
er arrangement which the men
used in a boarded-up shack out
rear. He whooped and hollered
when he turned the water on, and
when he had soaped himself he
burst into song:
"Rollicking days,
Frollicking days,

Hear you the swish of the lari-

Of the cowboy whose darir

He was really pretty good with
it, even if he did mix up the words
some and insert a lot of ta-ta ta-

yells. All of it totaled simply a keen
anticipation of the nights pleas

hol gently brushed over the edge of
the lid with a camel's hair brush. An
old, reliable remedy for this is ONT
ment of the yellow oxide of mercury,
standard strength. Many oculists,
however, think this old remedy is in
effective and prefer ointment of zinc
sulphate.
In conjunctivitis, which is the
stylish name for pinkeye, for an
acute form, the latest advice is that
we can save six to eight days of dis
comfort by using one-half per cent
solution of zinc sulphate. Boric acid
is too weak in these cases and argy-
rol, a favorite remedy, in the solu-
ton of ten per cent has compare
lively little effect in cases of acute
conjunctivitis. Methylene blue in
very concentrated solution is effec-
tive, but should be used only by an
expert oculist.

FILLING A COUNTRY WOODBOX

In an oiG farmhouse a big wood
box was built at the side OF the huge
fireplace chimney in which to keep
wood either tor fireplace or the
Woodburning kitchen stove. Ten bas-
kets of wood fill 1t.
During the past summer two OIL
ferent men have mad the job OF keep
ing the kitchen supplied with wood
The first man brought in wood only
when he was asked to do SO by his
wife. the cook Usually she had to
call him from some other task. He
would bring N one armful, toss IL
down and say, There, l guess that
will hold you Until l get around to
bringing in more" The kitchen work.
ers would tnen have to reach lar
down into the box to get what they
needed
A more sensible system was used
bv the second man. First of all he
had the WoodDoX thoroughly cleaned.
The bark had accumulated at the
bottom was taken ut and burned
Then he brought = basketload after
basketload until the box was filled.
Then he merely kept il filled, bring
2 in no more than two loads at a
me.
Should the second man be busy at
other work, or absent for several
days, the kitchen workers do not
have to worry about their supply OF
stove wood. They always have more
than they need. There's a reserve
supply on hand.
The two men represent the peO-
pie of the live from hand-to-mouth,
who never think ahead, world. There
are those who are improvldent, who
cannot even think in terms Of build
ing up reserves, who make no saw
ings, whose work is always crowd
ing them, who are hard workers be-
cause they are bad planners.
Then there are the people with
forethought. They think ahead They
plan to make their work easier. They
work hard to build up reserves SO
that they are prepared for emerg-
encies. They are like the wise farm
ers who work hard during the grow
ing season to provide feed with which
to stock the cellars.
We are always a bit suspicious OF
people who talk about being over
worked OverWork is usually the re-
suit of inefficiency and inefficiency
is the result of sloppy thinking The
first man, who never kept the wood
box filled, was always rushing hithe1
and yon. He was the busiest person
Anyone SEEING MIN moving abou
would be tempted to exclaim, "there's
a real worker. Watch him hustle
around" The fact is he was no gooC
at all and had to be discharged fol
his utter incompetence.
Not always does great activity re-
suit in great accomplishment.
Let us all clean out the woodbo,
of our business and fill it to the tor
with what we need. The time to dc
the hard work is right now. Let US
get our equipment in shape, our SUD-
plies where they can be handled eff.
ficiently, AMI thes go to more impor.
tant tasks with minds that are free
to be concerned on what is most pro.
fitable.
