Since efficiency is finding its way Into all business one of the oldest “professions" of all has begun to adopt modern methods. The innovation is due to a beggar who made his stand opposite one of the subway entrances along the Williamsburg bridge ap proach on Delancey street, the New York Evening Sun states. Mar.y who passed this spot recently were struck by the appearance of this beggar, an elderly, long-bearded man, who sat huddled up in a wheel chair. Alongside was a husky youth of nine teen or so, busily engaged in “barking” for the beggar. Secretly the latter must have thought it a good joke on the alms-giving public, for there was always a smirk on his face, as his friend shouted so none should neglect to drop a coin in the beggar's lap. His “spiel” was in Yiddish, which, roughly translated into English, would be: f “Stop: Give charity, people.” Many who ought to have known bet ter stopped and gave. No Place to Go. O’Hara stood surveying the body of his friend, lying in state. Then he be gan to smile. “What is there funny about it?” de manded an outraged friend. “ ’Twas only last week as Clancy was saying to me how there ain’t no heaven and no purgatory. An’ here he lies now, poor divil, all drissed up and nowhere to go.”—The American Legion Weekly. Comparisons. “I am glad to give (his opportunity to learn a good business to a returned soldier. But you will have to begin at the bottom.” “That is a lot better than going over the top.” An Inference. “What’s Flubdub prating about?” “The fairness of these maga/.ine con tests.” “I see. lie won a prize.” r - rm An J 4cereaP n t Invigorating CVwiS Table Beverage —a real part of the meal, not merely something to drink with your food — Postum Cereal i If you feel that something interferes with your . health, stop tea and cof fee and use this popular drink. “There's a Reason” No raise in price.

If you take Calomel today you’ll be sick :*nd nauseated tomorrow; besides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson’s Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, with a hearty appetite, full of ambition and ready for work or play. It is harmless, pleasant and safe to give to children. —Adv.

Avoid imitations. —Adv. New Wireless Distress Call. A novel wireless emergency device by which ships in distress can ring alarm hells on other ships within wire less range is reported by the Ameri can chamber of commerce in London. The present wireless system of com munication requires (hat an operator to hear a call must be on duty, wear ing the usual telephone headpiece. The new device is said to enable any station or ship equipped with a spe cial automatic transmitter key to call up any station or ship within range, fitted with a corresponding receiver re lay, wen If the operator is absent. The calling up, according to the Amer ican chamber, is effected by a bell which starts ringing on the ships called. It is claimed that one of (he most important uses of the devices will bo to insure immediate and general at tention to S. O. S. calls. Wild Dogs Devour Sheep. Depredations by packs of wild dogs are causing Australian sheep owners heavy damage, according to official reports received at Washington. A delegation of stockmen recently sub mitted to the minister of public lands of New South Wales statistics show ing a loss of 50,000 sheep in that prov ince alone in the course of a few months. The delegation requested government aid in the erection of a “dogproof” fence to isolate a district comprising almost 40,000 square miles. If people like each other well enough they will argue. They’re not afraid to. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR, MT.
