ONSIDER the pickle; that stunted, dwarfed, sawed-off son of a cucumber. Often in our time we have spoken of the pickle in unmeasured words of scorn and disrespect. For that we are now truly sorry. We take it all back, pickle dear, and we hereby promise never to do it again. For, listen— The pickle preserves your teeth. It reduces your dentistry bills. It is sure death to freckles. It makes you affectionate and sweet tempered. It feeds your brain and makes you wise. It cures bilious headaches. All these things the once lowly pickle does (if you eat it, of course) and there are others, too, according to the chief officers of the National Pickle Packers’ association recently in session in Chicago. N-O-W, wait-a-minute! Don’t get the idea we are “kidding” you or the pickle. There is a whole lot more truth than poetry in what the pickle packers say. Some day the world is going to dis- cover a lot more about foods than‘it now knows. People engaged in certain occupations will know what foods they should eat to make them best fitted for their toil. People at various ages will know what they should eat; now we divide food in two classes—food for babies and food for all the rest. Then we will know what to eat; when to eat it; and how to eat it!

In view of recent legislation, which will gecessitate the entire populace resorting to public drink- ing fountains as a means of quench- ing thirst, this health hint from Washington, D. C., is timely and valuable. WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.— “Bite the bubble” is the latest “health hint” from the United States Public Health and Ma rine Hospital Service. An ex- pert for the Marine Hospital Service says: “If improperly constructed or improperly used, the bubbling drinking fountain may be a greater menace to health than the common drinking cup. “An inspector __ recently watched 47 different persons use a bubbling fountain “In almost every case the lips were placed almost completely around the metal ball from which the water spurted. In using the bubbling fountain, the rule should be to bite the bubble, lips not touching any part of the fountain.” eee HOW THIN Trained Nurse (reading)—It says here that in the big fire, one woman escaped down a drain pipe.

If one of the psychological effects of the Euro- pean war is to imbue China with the war spirit, to convert that patient, plodding and peaceful race into a military nation in the real sense, all Europe will rue the day when the first gun in this war was fired. The Chinese are neither cowardly nor un- patriotic. They simply need capable Waders and modern weapons to convert them into formidable foes. Now steps are being taken to found a mili- tary training academy similar to West Point. This war will very likely leave China on a par, financially, with any European country and in a position to purchase munitions in abundance. China has a population of 420,000,000 people. With the crafty Japanese to abet and guide it, and the Japa- nese navy to actively aid it, a Chinese army will prove an awful menace to Europe. It may transpire that Europe has unloosed a monster that it can never again enchain, NOT BY ALONG SHOT Boron TRA SCRIPT, among its other en- dorsements of Fairbanks for the presidency, gives this: AcKinley leaned on him.” False!
