FORMING HABIT OF HEALTH
Infancy la the Time When Thin Moat
Important Matter Bhould Be
Attended To.
“There in no time when the habit
of good health ran be more easily
formed, anil no other period when
illness is so easily contracted and
meets with so little bodily resistance
as during infancy and early child
hood.
“Babies should he naturally like
healthy little animals; if they are
not, it is because of wrong living on
the part of their parents, resulting
In inherited low vitality; or wrong
environment due to ignorance or
neglect of right health methods.
“The well baby nerds simple guid
ance to sen that he keeps well; tho
sick baby needs, nud usually gets,
tention in tho effort to make him
well; but tho merely delicate baby,
with enfeebled powers of resistance
to disease and of constant low vital
ity, needs both guidance and the best
attention that medical science af
fords.
“The basis of all modern medicine
is prevention of disease. To keep
tho baby well is far easier, safer and
surer than to cure him after he has
once become ill.
“It takes very little to cause ill
ness in the baby, and the result is
often seemingly out of all proportion
to the cause.
“The same digestive disturbances
that, in an adult, would cause at the
most a j/.u-oing will result
in acuto illness in the babv, often
with the most disastrous effect, and
the infection which passes the adult
by finds a quick victim in the baby.”
PITY THE UMPIRE
Dinks —I had no idea you were su
perstitious.
Winks —I’m not.
Dinks—But you were carrying a
horseshoe when you entered the ball
park yesterday.
Winks—Oh! that was to heave at
the umpire in case ho got gav.
PERSIAN SOCIETY.
The Persians are a very punctili
ous race, and it is the sensible cus
tom of the country, on making n call,
to announce beforehand that you arc
coming. A thousand and one little
points of punctilio have to be ob
served. A certain number of cups
of tea arc do rigeur, three pipes at
least have to be smoked, a few whilTs
from each; the rank and precedence
of every guest is rigorously observed,
and each visitor intrigues for, and
generally receives, a little more than
her duo. To omit to return a visit is
an unpardonable offense. The par
ticular place in the apartment of
each guest is regulated to a nicety,
and many and bitter are the feuds
on this subject.
THE TROUBLE.
Mrs. Jones —With these high
prices, it is very hard to make both
ends meet
Mrs. Robinson —Indeed, it is quito
as hard to make one end meat
LOGICAL CONCLUSION.

MONEY PUT INTO BUILDING
Five Times More Expercled In Amer
ica Than Is the Case In
Europe.
For every human being in the
United States sll was hist year put
into a building of some kind. The
money expended in such operations
just about balances our government
debt.
There are no figures to show defi
nitely how much of this immense
sum went into buildings that earn
nothing, but, far more than half of it
certainly has become nailed down
into an investment that is noncre
ative.
Most of the cash a man devotes
to his home at once goes into the
drone class, whereas the money he
spends for a-chicken house or a bel
ter stable for his cows or improved
farm implements immediately be
gins to work and earns interest upon
the investment. Anew store is a
money grubber, but frills upon the
home are not.
Bight here is one reason why Hu
ropeans, who as a class earn far less
every year than Americans, have
such stupendous sums to invest in se
curities.
No other part of the earth’s sur
face was ever covered in so brief a
time with such a colossal .amount of
buildings as our particular slice of
North America.
SEVEN WAYS OF SPELLING “E”
Just One of the Peculiarities of What
la Known a* the English
Language.
Dealing with some objections to
spelling reform, Mr. William Archer
told the Society of Shorthand Teach
ers in London recently that there was
not a single letter in tho English lan
guage to which only one sound wus
attached, nor was there a sound
which was represented by only one
letter. If they took the “c” sound
in “bed,” they, he snid, would find
it spelt seven different ways in as
many different words, for exactly the
same vowel sound occurred in
“head,” “many,” “Vopard,” “said,”
“says” and “paper; When a child
asked why “proceed” and “recede”
were not spelt in a similar way no
body could possibly give him a rea
sonable answer.
The word “sovereign,” Mr. Archer
saris!, was so spelt today because of
its supposed connection with the
word “reign.” Asa matter of fact,
there was no connection between the
two, and the proper spelling was that
which Milton used, i. e., “Sovran."—
London Chronicle.
STILL MORE DUMB.
A lady saw in a newspaper a par
agraph lo the elTect that in an effort
to save his eat from being run over
by an omnibus a little boy had been
knocked down and seriously injured
by the vehicle and had been taken
to the hospital.
The lady, who was fond of eats,
greatly admired the boy's affection
for the “poor dumb animal." and
wrote to the hospital, inclosing some
presents and a sum of money "for
the brave little sufferer."
By return of post came a letter
acknowledging receipt of the money
and thanking her for her kindness,
but explaining that the eat which
had been the cause of all the woe was
even more ‘dumb than she imagined
—in fact, it was the little boy’s
wooden tip-cat!"
HIS MISTAKE.
"What makes Bliggins so unpop
ular?"
"He tric'd, so hard to be popular
that a lot of people got the idea that
he was hopelessly fresh."
A TIMELY CORRECTION.
“If wishes wore horses, beggars
would ride, mv son."
“But .wishes never would be horses,
pop; they'd be autos."
MISGIVINGS.
“I want to go to my glazier's, only
he gives me a pane.”
“And I would like to go to mv gro
cer's, but he'll give me a weigh."
ANOTHER WAY.
“Well, old Skinflint has gone up
at last."
“In business?"
“Xo; in the elevator."
NO PRESUMPTION.
“Do you believe in treating your
help like the family ?"
“Xo, indeed; why, our cook
wouldn't stand for such. familiarity."
Honesty in Advertising
We have alwals striven to win and hold the confi

advertisements to be taken literally. In them we say
only what we mean, and we promise only what we can
literally fulfill. /
Advertising is one of the principal contact points
with the public, and upon the quality of it, to a great
extent depends our success. Therefore our announce
ments by their candor, truthfulness, afid straightfor
wardness but reflect the salient features of our policy--
