FTwas in a glided restaurant
| Where people came to eat,
|A Southerner, all grim and gaunt,
: Stepped in on eager test,
tie sat him down and ordered food
[ And suddenly and soon
tthe orchestra in joyful mood
|- Struck up that “Dixie” tune.
l߻ere came a tumult of applause;
The Southerner was glad—
He felt this honor to his Cause
And could no. more be sad.
^•"Hurrah! Hurrah!” the diners cried
! And straightway dropped their r’s;
*t seemed as though with valiant pride
They’d showed their battle scars.
Vbe Southerner then asked of one
kWho almost broke his dish
pplaudlng: “Whah ah yo’ from, aonff*
; He said: "South ftaven, Mich.”
Another came from old South Bend,
And one who cheered with glee
FYom Southport, Maine, had come; his
friend
Was raised out in S. D,
A man from South Chicago yelled
The wildest of wild cheers
Until the folk about him held
Their hands upon their ears;
Another man whose voice was loud.
Whose hands gave blow on blow
In the applause that led the crowd
Was from South Charleston, O.
The Southerner looked all around
And pursed his frlm old mouth,
And said: "I’m glad that I have found
So many from the South.”
He seeks another place to eat
But everywhere he goes
When "Dixie’s” played they stamp their
feet
And cheer It through the nose.

AT WAR OVER BATHS
Water Commissioner Would Fix
Limit at One a Week.
Question Has Become Burning One
Throughout State of Massachus
etts—Head of Board of
Health Approves.
Boston. —How many baths doos a
person require in a week?
The above question is being asked
by about every one of Lynn’s 400,000
population, and the answers are va
ried ones. Some people claim Only
one is necessary, thereby upholding
Water Commissioner Thomas Camp
bell, who has decreed that one bath
every seven days is enough.
Discussion of the subject is not con
fined to Lynn, as the question has be
come a burning issue throughout the
state.
The water supply at Lynn became
low recently, and Water Commission
er Campbell, seeking to care for the
city’s interests, asked that the citizens
content themselves with one bath a
week. The outburst of indignation
which resulted fairly overwhelmed the
water commissioner, and he increased
the bathing privilege to^twice weekly.
He did so grudgingly, however, and
still insists that one bath a week
would be sufficient —of course, taking
into consideration the condition that
exists.
Chairman Michael Ward of the
board of health said he approved of
the suggestion. He felt that the com
paratively few who had become accus
tomed to the luxury of a daily bath
should sacrifice their wishes for the
good of the many. Their abregation
would be for a good purpose, he said,
and redound to their credit.
Chairman Ward went a bit farther
and expressed the belief that many of
the politicians at the city hall should
practice the self-denial asked for. He
said that they were devotees of the
daily bath and declared that now was
SNAKE ANCHORS MAN’S WRIST
Policeman, Reaching Into Ground for
Edible Roots, Is Given Big Sur
prise and Held Fast.
Darby, Pa.—Policeman Tom Clark,
Link Dutton, James Bogan and Tom
Pappas, all of Darby, had an exciting
experience with a bed of blacksnakes
while hunting poke near the First
regiment rifle range at Essington.
They had gathered a fair supply of
the edible root when Clark found a
hug root, which stubbornly refused
to be dug out
After excavating Jhe ground, Clark
thrust his arm into the hole to cut off
the root, but a minute later when be
attempted to withdraw his hand he
found himself anchored. Not realizing
that his wrist was enmeshed in the
coils of a flve-foot blacksnake, which
held him fast, Clark gave directions to
Dutton to dig the root out, when it
was discovered that he had thrust
his hand into a nest of snakes.
Seizing sticks, the three men went
to the rescue of their companion and
alter five minutes succeeded in beat
ing the snakes off and killing three
of them, including the largest.
Clark suffered only-.from a squeezed
wrist and a bad scare.
Rattler Chokes Boy.
New HAven, Conn. —While George
Nash, a fifteen-year-old boy, was
asleep in the woods here the other
day he w'as attacked by a big rattle
snake, which, contrary to the practice
of such reptiles, wound itself about his
neck. Nash was unconscious from
strangulation when the snake was
killed
#
r the time for the city fathers and other
public officials to show their mettle
by putting aside their custom of bath
ing daily and restraining themselves
for the welfare of the public.
. Chairman Ward was asked point
blank if he bathed daily, but he would
not reply. He is, however, the most
outspoken of the city department
heads and believes that the citizens
should bathe infrequently for a while.
1 Street Commissioner McPhetras was
the real brave man in city hall. He
1 was a boomer of the twice a week
• plan and freely stated his conviction
that experience would never disprove
’ that twice a week would be too in-
I frequent bathing for any man. A lot
■ of people have been wondering just
i what he meant, but his phraseology
was so lawlike they still remain puz-.
• zled.
Chief Thomas Harris of the fire de
। partment raised a dissenting voice
in the general chorus of approving ac
। clamatlon of the plan. He asserted
vigorously that neither he nor the
■ other members of the fire department
i ought to be Included in any restric
. tlons prescribing a weekly bath or a
biweekly bath.
। He said that firemen had to bathe
after every, fire and ought to be allow
ed the privilege “or should I say
right,” be continued. As for himself,
he said that on bls tours of the city
in his automobile he became covered
with dust every day and that a bath
had become "not a luxury, but a neces
( sity.”
1 The discussion still rages and it
. looks as if the twice-a-week plan would
. be adopted. It is said to be a decided
advantage, viewed either from a sani
, tary, health, or even moral standpoint.

China Power in Hen World
People Have Ever Been Enormous
Poultry Raisers and Exporters —
Ducks Are Pickled and Dried.
Hongkong.—For hundreds of years
China was the greatest poultry produc
ing nation in the world, and probably
this is true today, not only as regards
the total production, but also per cap
ita use. Os the more than 300,000,000,
population of China, shown by the last
census, there are few indeed who do
not in the course of a year consume
. something in the way of poultry—
chickens or ducks or geese—and cer
tainly a large number of eggs. For
. considerable portions of the population
poultry is the only animal food used,
and for the more well-to-do classes it is
an ordinary meat diet the year around.
Ducks are pickled, dried, tinned and
otherwise preserved and shipped to
many parts of the world to Chinese
who are away from a home supply.
Eggs of all kinds are used fresh and
are cured by burying in clay and lime
, until they acquire something of the
quality of cheese and are a great Chi
nese luxury. It is easy to calculate
that to meet all these lines of con
sumption the output of poultry and
poultry products needs to be enor
mous.
s For the most part chickens and
s ducks are produced upon the usual ba
• sis of practically all Chinese produc
• tlon —the family household —or at most
s a small farm. There are few families
s in China, even In the larger cities, that
i do not have at least some chickens,
i Nea: the ports open to foreign trade
there are a few rather good sized poul-
BRITTLE GIRL BREAKS BONES
Fall of Very Short Distance Always
Proves Disastrous to Ruth Mor
gan, Aged 10 Years.
Wilmington, Del.—Physicians in
this and other cities are making a
study of the case of Miss Ruth Mor
gan, aged 10 years, whose father, Da
vid Morgan, tenants the farm adjoin
ing the Minquidale Home, near this
city. Miss Morgan is thought to have
unusually soft or brittle bones in her
body, for within a year she has had
four slight falls in every one of which
she sustained a broken bone.
Her latest accident occurred when
she fell one foot from a fence and
broke an arm above the elbow. Last
spring she fell from a step and broke
a shoulder blade. Later in the sum
mer she fell from a chair and broke
an arm, but thia fracture was healed
before the girl or her parents knew
| anything about it Three weeks ago
she fell from a table and broke the
other shoulder blade.
GARDENS LIGHTED BY WORMS
Luminous Insects Selling for 50 Cents
a Dozen Furnish the Latest
Fad In London.
London. —Glowworms are the latest
thing in outdoor illuminations, and
many people are adopting this novel
way of decorating their gardens for
the summer.
L. Haig, a dealer in glowworms,
at his farm at Newdigate, Surrey,
said:
“The idea of using glowworms as
regular illuminant decorations occur
red to me some little time ago, and
It is certainly taking well with the
public,” he said.
"I charge 50' cents a dozen for
glowworms exclusive of postage, and
we go out and catch the little crea
tures as the orders come in. This
part of Surrey is particularly prolific
in glowworms.
“They are usually found adhering to
longish blades of grass, and so long
. as they glow are easy to catch in the
hand. A fine night after rain is the
best time for getting them. ?
* ■
try farms, as a rule. Ducks are raised
in immense numbers on farms along
the canals and rivers of central and
south China and are much more com
mon than chickens. One of the cus
tomary sights along the grand canal
in mid-China, for example, is that of
a Chinese duck farmer in his boat
watching his flock feed in and along
the canal. The ducks are trained to
’ obey him, and armed with a long bam
boo pole to guide them, he controls
their movements and takes them back
to shelter for the night. The surplus
of poultry and poultry products which
, China can export annually is Immenee.
Up to the present exportation has
taken the form largely of egg products,
mostly dried albumen and yolks.
Police Billies of Paper.
1 Lynn, Mass. —An order has been

lently thwacked over the heads of dis
! turbers of the peace. It is hoped the
paper clubs will have sufficient
strength to cope with any condition
■ of affairs that may arise.

Cleveland, O.—George Walken, who

LIFE SAVED BY
FRIEND’S ADVICE
About three years ago I suffered with
appendicitis and after having an operation
performed it left me with a severe case
of kidney trouble. I was doctored by sev
eral physicians and getting no relief I took
the advice of a friend and procured a bot
tle of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root. After
taking the contents of the first bottle I felt
greatly relieved and decided to continue it.
After using the contents of three more dol
lar bottles, I experienced a complete cure.
I cannot recommend Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root too highly to anyone suffer
ing from kidney Or bladder trouble.
