HERE is an old fable about the snake that went into a black- smith shop when it was hungry and tried to eat a file. The snake broke its fangs and died of chagrin, People do not try to eat files and they go for their food to a grocery instead of a blacksmith shop, But the snake in the fable had one advantage. It knew what it was trying to eat. Its mistake was its overestimate of its masticatory powers. People know what they want to eat, but they do not always know what they are eating. If they always did know the adultera.| tion of food would not be profitable. _ Borax makes an excellent wash for sore eyes and a little of it in the bath helps cleanse the skin.
