Whatever lessens the pull on the family uurse is heartily welcomed in t.hv.w days when the high cost of living is a subject of such constant and serious conversation. The nec- essities of life are growing into a continually lengthening list. The doctor’s bill and that of the drug- gist re growing into a continually lengthening list. The doctor's bill and that of the druggist are impor- tant items that go into the total of family expense, and no less impor- tant because so uncertain, for sick- n comes like a thief in the dark and demands are imperative.

It is no longer a matter for orgument that typhoid fever, small- pox, diphtheria if treated promptly, rabies, as well as other ailments, may be prevented or robbed of series consequences. The statement s backed by ample and multiplied proo which cannot be questioned. The preventives, some of them are | expensive, and the large cost has de- terred many from using them, even if they might be convinced of their efficiency—they prefer to take the | risk, to gamble on the chances of es- cape. Of course, the sick rate from typhoid is normally small consider- |ing the proportion of cases to the to- dollar and five cents to be insured against it entirely, when such an at- tack would cost at least $500, be- sides the loss of time and producing v, and the chances of taxing e with the cost of an ex- pensive funeral? Is it possible practically to pre- venttyphoid fever? The United | States military authorities have adopted the typhoid vaccine with the result that not a single death | from this disease occurred in 1913 lin the entire army, and only a few cases, none of them severe. Want any better proof than that? The medical profession has dis- |covered that diphtheria can be | cured, robbed of its t®rrors, by ad- ministering the antitoxin on the first day, immediately when the dis- {ease is discovered In order to bring these preventive people of Florida, the State Board {of Health has arranged with manu- facturers so that the cost has been greatly reduced and, more than this, !these medicines will be widely dis- tributed among the druggists of the { State so that they may be easily and Little Bo Peep had so many sheep She didn't know where them.

She wished to get back to that state as much as her husband wanted to return to Ili- "nols. But instead of drifting eastward they drifted farther westward, for as civilization encroached upon them the wild animals, by which Tom made a living, became scarce, and they were obliged to find new hunting grounds. | So at last they found themselves in a gulch where game was plenty and neighbors were few. It was a deso- late life, especially for the woman. Tom offered to take his wife east, but she knew he had never fitted himself for the work to be done there, and she preferred to remain where they were rather than run.the risk of starving in ber former home. One day a man came trudging up the gulch and, stopping at the Burns cab- in, asked Mrs. Burns if- he could be accommodated for a short time. She told him that her busband would be home soon and then she could give an answer. The stranger sald he would pay well for his board. When Tom returned it was agreed between 1 American called to obtain a passport 80 théy Wrote to thelr lodger that they thought they had found what he had been looking for. He came to see them, and John showed him a specimen of his tind and also that it burned green. | The stranger uttered an ncumauon; of delight. “That is borax,” he said. “used for washing purposes in every household in America.” He told John that if he would tell him where it lay he would form a company to take the ground, work it and would give John half of all he made out of it himself. John accept- ed his proposition, and an agreement was written out and signed by both ac- cording to the terms. It turned out the stranger had a large | [§ borax company bebind him with un-| |8 limited capital. A company was form ed. and he retained 20 per cent of the stock. Of this he assigned one-half to John, which gave him more money than he and his wife could spend. They went back to the east, where they lived in comfort for the rest of thelr lives. Proof to Show He Wasn't Crazy. Victor Murdock says that one night | in Fort Scott, after a political meet- ing. two men who had been in the audience fell into a violent discussion about the topic of the speech of the evening. A big crowd lingered to hear the disputants out. One was named Flynn and the other Dobbins. They were evidently strangers to each other. Finally Flynn lost his head and said: “You're wrong, I tell you; you're wrong. You're crazy.” *“I am not,” said Dobbins hotly know what I am talking about. “No, you don’t,” shouted Flynn; “you're crazy— 1 tell you you are crazy.” “I am not,” cried Dobbins, “and 1 can prove it.” Flynn stopped short in surprise and asked: “How?" Dobbins slowly drew a fat wad of papers from his inside pocket and said slowly and convincing- ly: “Well, here are my discharge pa- pers from the asylum."—Kansas City Star. i Cole & Huli Bl Jewelers and Optometrists Neéw. anupny .

One of the most unusual passport cases which has yet come to the at- tentton of the American embassy at London arose when a well-dressed which had been sent to Washington some weeks ago to be renewed, but during the interim the owner of the passport had been denuded of his whiskers, which set of whiskers was still attached to his person when he | sent his photographs to Walhlngmn.[ and he was described in the passport as bewhiskered. Asked why he shaved off the whisk- ¢ ers, he sheepishly stated that he had his whiskers shaved once a year and forgot all about the passport regula- tions. Speed of Zeppelins. Zeppelins vary in speed, but the swiftest of them are not comparable in speed to the aeroplanes. The latter, | it 18 safe to say, are twice as fast as the Zeppelins. Strongest Timber. The yate, one of Australia’s numer- ous hard woods, seems to be the strongest known timber, with an aver- age tensile strength of 24,000 pounds to the square inch, and a maximum as high as 35,000—about equal to cast and wrought iron. him and his wife that they would take the stranger in, though there was only one room in the cabin. and they were all obliged to sleep in the same room, divided into two parts by a curtain. The man went out every morning prospecting for something—he didn't say what—and every night returned to the cabin. He remalned with the Burns couple a week, then said to them: “I'm going away from here, and 1 can't pay you any board. I have been told that an article is to be found in this region that is very valuable. Had 1 found it 1 could have paid you thou- sands of dollars for my keep. As it is 1 can’t pay you anything.™ “Th all right, stranger,” said John. “We wouldn’t bave felt war ranted in charging you over $4 any- way, 80 it doesn’t matter much." “It matters more to me than to you. It may be that }'ve missed the deposit I've been look for, and some day you may stumble on it. But you won't recognize It if you do. I'm going to leave you some chemicals, and if you ever come across the article I refer to and mix it with the chemicals and burn the compound it will give a green flame.” He gave them some idea of what the substance looked like In its crude form and, pouring the chemicals from his stock Into bottles, left them with him, with bis address, telling them If they ever found the article to write him and be would make them rich. A month passed after the stranger’s departure and the Burnses would have almost forgotten his coming had It not been for the bottles he had left them that stood in the cupboard. One day John, Instead of hunting in the guich and the region thereabout, went down to its mouth and, rounding a mountain spur, entered a valley. He encounter- ed a trapper, who told him that noth- ing could live there, not even animals, and there was no use for him to try to get any game there. So desolate was the place that it was called Death valley. John bad heard of it and con- cluded to have a look at It before go- ing home.
