One of the oldest purely social clubs- was the Everlasting club, limited in membership to a hundred people, who divided the day among them in such a way that some of them were always on the premises. Solely for the pur- pose of keeping up the fire from which members lighted their pipes. an old woman was kept, and during the fifty years of existence the club members smoked fifty tons of tobacco. No one who had not killed an op- ponent in a duel was allowed to be a member of the Man Killing club, where the conversation was confined to wounds, bullets and slaughter. Curi- ously enough, most of the members were executed. Very different in character was the Six 0’Clock club, whose members, num- bering six only, met at 6 in the even- ing and separated at 6 in the morning. Meeting early in the evening and sitting smoking until midnight, the ooooooooocooooooo curious people forming the Humdrum = club observed the strictest silence. But perhaps the most curious club of all was the No Nose club, which was founded by an unwilling follower of the Egyptian fashion of flnt faces. 000000000000000000 PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT. Dissase From Towels. Do not use the towel any one else has used. There is great danger of infec- tion from using towels in pub- lic wash rooms. The germs of disease remain active in a damp towel for fully twelve hours. Loathsome skin diseases are spread by using the roller towel in a wash room of a public place. Grave constitutional diseases are acquired by using a common towel in a store, office or factory. It is far better to let the hands g0 undried than to wipe them on a towel which some one else has used. Have your own towel in the home and have your own towel in the place where you are em- ployed and let no one else use it. 00000000000000000000000 Neighbors. “What sort of neighbors have you?” “The usual sort.

Doing Thia Job Only Once a Day, It Is Said, Saves Time. “The carcful housekeeper will always resent the suggestion that once a day writes Dr. H. Barnard in *Table Talk” in the National Food Magazine. *“She cannot train herself to allow soiled plates and silverware to stack up from one meal to the next, for she has been taught that such actions are evidence of shift- less, slovenly housekeeping. As a mat- ter of fact, along with many other no- tions which are fixed in the operation of the home, both time and energy are saved by cutting out two of the three daily dishwashing jobs.” Dr. Barnard goes on to recite the ex- perience of one housekeeper who actu- ally dared study the homely work of dishwashing. One week she washed dishes three times a day; the next week she washed each day’s dishes alto- gether. She used the same number of dishes each day in both weeks. She found that it took her fifty-one minutes a day to wash dishes after each meal and forty-one minutes a day to wash them once a day. This took account only of time, but there was a considerable additional saving in gas or fuel consumed by heating water once instead of thrice a day, to say nothing of the saving in soap. SALT IN THE FOOD. Why Its Flavor at Times Is Too Weak or Too Strong. The average housewite wonders why she often over or under salts her dishes when she *“knows” that she salted them just right, as she always did and as the recipes called for. The reason is just this: The season- ing value of different brands of salt varies widely. This is easily proved. Take five slices of ripe tomatoes; apply equal parts of five makes of salt upon the separate pieces. Eat as soon as salted. The difference in flavor, per- meation, rapidity and equality of dis- solution and seasoning value are read- 1ly detected. A table salt should be fine, the crys- tals of equal size, quickly soluble and free from ingredients which absorb moisture from the air. Large and small crystals will not dissolve uni- formly; consequently the full salting effect is not obtained until the large crystals are dissolved. The quickly soluble salt diffuses itself through the food at once and gives an equality of savor. Sticky salt is an intrusive nui- sance. Fallures in salting are largely due to changing from one make of salt to an- other. Get the best grade, grow ac- customed to its use and stick to it.— San Francisco Chronicle. Single File. When the Indians traveled togefilor they seldom walked or rode two or more abreast, but followed one anoth- er in single file. It has been thought by some that this practice resulted from the lack of roads, which com- pelled them to make their way through woods and around rocks by narrow paths. If this were the real reason for the practice, then we should expect to find that the tribes who lived in open countries traveled in company, as do whites. The true reason for jour- neying as the Indlians did in single file seems to be a feeling of caste. This feeling was at the bottom of other customs of the Indians. It made their women slaves and rendered the men silent and unsocial. This peculiarity is Asiatic. How it has warped and disfigured Hindu life is well known. The women of a Chinese household are seldom seen in the street. The chil- dren, when accompanying their father, follow him at a respectful distance, in single file and in the order of their ages. Poor John! “Hello! Is this you, mother dear?” “Yes, Sue. What is it? Something awful must have happened for you to call me up at this"— “It's not so awful. But John, dear. hasn’t been feeling well, and the doc- tor gave him pills to take every four hours. I've been sitting up to give them to him, and now it's about time for his medicine, but John has fallen asleep. Should I wake him?” “I wouldn't if I were you. he suffering from?” “Insomnia.” — Pittsburgh Telegraph- Chronicle. What is Smoking In Japan. In Japan woman has smoked ever since tobacco was introduced and in- variably used the pipe of metal with the tiny bowl holding only sufficient tobacco to provide half a dozen whiffs which was in universal use until the cigarette entered Japan with other western innovations.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous sur- faces.

At Any Drug Store FRANZ SCHUBERT THE WORLD’S GREATEST SONG WRITER Franz Schubert, composer of heart- ful masterpieces, was born at Lich- tentahl, near Vienna, Austria, Janu- ary 31, 1797. The son of a country schoolmaster, little Franz was an. apt pupil. At the age of seven he attended the Imperial School of Music and sang in the choir of the- Imperial Chapel. Three years later his voice failed, but his proficiency with the violin secured him employ- ment. When only seventeen years old he returned home to help his father, during which time he com- posed a famous mass, and more than a hundred heart melodies, including the renowned ‘‘Serenade.” Disap- pointed ambition and failing health inspired the divine sadness which has made his “Adieu” a classic and characterizes so many of his com- positions. At the age of thirty-one he passed away, after composing a “Swan Song,” amid the closing hours of his pathetic career. This beautiful swan song, ‘“Adieu! 'Tis Love’s Last Greeting,” is to be found on page 175 of “Heart Songs” —the song book that it took four years to make, and being the choice of 20,000 music lovers all over the world. The distribution of this. book by this paper to its readers is one of the most wonderful enter- prises ever undertaken by a paper.
