Boiled Down.
Not long ago the editor of an Eng-
lish paper ordered a story of a certain
length, but when the story arrived he
discovered that the author had written
several hundred words too many.
The paper was all late in going
to press, so there was no alternative—
the story must be condensed to fit the
allotted space. Therefore the last few
paragraphs were cut down to a single
sentence. It read thus:
"The earl took a Scotch highball,
his hat, his departure, no notice of his
pursuers. a revolver out of his hip
pocket, and finally, his life."
Made it Plain.
At a certain Welsh railway station
whin. rejoices in the name of "Llan-
fairpwigwyngyll"—a new porter was
engaged. He was only an Englishman,
but he meant to do his duty. The first
train came in. Ne tackled the name
of the station, but failed miserably
to pronounce more than about the first
inch. But he was a man of brains.
Running along the platform, he point-
ed to the board which bore the lengthy
name and yelled out: If there's any-
body there for here this is it!"
Tried it

WHAT TO DO WHEN TIRED.
Take a Rest, of Course—This Article
Tells You Why and How.
When you get tired, take a rest. Do
not "r'- " yourself go on doing some-
thing if'you really feel that yoti
have had enough.
This sounds a counsel of perfection,
but it is really only the soundest of
common-sense. Experiment has shown
that fatigue is caused by a poison
which is generated in the blood by
exertion.
Everything that we do breaks down.
"tissue" ---that is to say, it uses up
some of the myriad cells which go to
make up the body, and these broken
down cells are waste hatter and have
to be eliminated from the body.
All the work inside us is controlled
by the nerves, and these are more or
less like the insulated wire that is used
for electric bells, and the nervous im-
pulse resembles the current that pass -
ea through and does the work. s
Fatigue increases the resistance of
the nerve to the passage of the im-
pulse, this being one of the kindly ef-
forts of Mother Nature to shut out
messages from the outside world so
that we may rest and sleep, and re-
cuperate by getting rid of the poison-
ous products of work.
But as the resistance of the nerve
increases. so do the messages in sharp-
ness and clearness, we get too tired to
be keenly alert and accurate, we grow
too tired even to care overmuch, and
this is the state of mind which leads
directly to'accidents and spoiled work.
It actually "doesn't pay" to work in
this state; it does not prove worth
while either to master or pian. What
is the use of keeping a workman at
work beyond his fatigue limit if
only succeeds in spoiling hfs job,
damaging himself, or smashing the
machine?
There is a rhythm that runs riglit
through the world in everything we
do, a kind of swing that enables us t
keep going when once we hays stat
ed, so long as we dont get out of
time. It is the same thing that en-.
ables a man to go on for sixty years
at the office enjoying life, and then
when he breaks the swing and retires
to what he calls a well-earned leisure,
he promptly dies of a broken rhythm.
So, if we keep work and rust going
in their proper swing, and if the time
of rest is sufficient to get rid of the
poisons of fatigue, then we can go on
for an indefinite period.
But we do not allow time for the
poison to be eliminated, we store it
up and it decreases our nerve -quick-
ness, impairs our judgment, and final-
ly results in a breakdown of one kind
or another.
When the body calls for rest it is
economy to give it. Flogging the
tired horse merely stores up more
fatigue -poison and makes things much
worse in the long run.
CARE OF BARN ROOF.
A great many fanners throughout
the country allow the chaff and straw.
blown from threshing machine to barn
roof to remain from one season to an-
other without removal. They should
realize this holds moisture and it is a
question of only a short time when the
shingles are decayed. When they
have to replace the roof the blame is
laid on the shingles rather than on
their carelessness in not removing the
cause of decay.

A GRAND MEDICINE
FOR LITTLE ONES
Mrs. Avila Noel, Haut Lameque, N.
B., writes:—"I can highly recommend
Baby's Own Tablets as they have
worked wonders in the case of my
baby. I always keep them in the
house and would not feel safe without
them." What Mrs. Noel . says con-
cerning Baby's Own Tablets is just
what thousands of other mothers say
and feel. The Tablets are a mild but
thorough laxative which regulate the
bowels and stomach, thereby banish-
ing constipation, colic, indigestion and
a host of the other minor ailments of
little ones. The Tablets are absolute-
ly guaranteed to be free from opiates
or narcotics or any of the other drugs
so harmful to the welfare of the baby.
They cannot possibly do harm—they
always do good. They are sold by
Medicine dealers or by mail at 25
cents a box from The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Out.
Ground For Suspicion.
A north countryman, charged with
having set fire to a large hayrick, was
defended on the ground that he was
not altogether responsible for his ac-
tions. One of the witnesses testified
to the belief that the prisoner was
"wrong in his held."
"Can you mention any occasion on
which the prisoner behaved in a man -
her to warrant your statement?" he
was asked by the learned counsel,
"Yes," answered the witness. "Once
at work he got half a crown too much
for his wage, an----"
"Well?" said counsel, as the witness
hesitated.
"He took it back to th' manager,"
concluded the witness.
Nothing of Moment.
The front door bell rang, and the
seven-year-old Nancy answered. Pre-
sently she returned alone.
"Who wits It, dear?" asked her
mother.
"Oh, it was just a lady looking tor
the wrong house," was the uneoiloei ii-
od reply,

Gideon and the "Midnights."
Johnny came home from Sunday
school quite thrilled by the lesson. "It
was all about the Midnights," he said.
"The what?" asked his father.
"The Midnights," repeated the boy.
"Teacher told us how Gideon fought
the Midnights and knocked. the day-
lights out of 'em in no tine."

Let folks stop on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes a size smaller if you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops of a drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug is a sticky ether cam -
pound, but dries at once and siffiTIy
shrivels up the corn without inflaming
or even irritating the surrounding
tissue.
It is claimed that a quarter of an
ounce of free zone obtnined at any drug
store will cost very little but is suffi-
cient to remove every hard or soft corn
or callus from ono's feet. Cut this out,
especially if you are a woman reader,
who wears high heels.

More and better

]lid you ever see a bar-
bar start to shave a cus-
tomer without strop-
ping his razor first?
Never! Isn't this fact
significant?
Stropping, you see, is ,
needed to reform the
saw -like edge that re-
sults from shaving; to
keep the blade free from
rust; and to give you
for each morning's
shave a keen -edged
blade. The self -strop-
ping feature of the
AutoStrop Razor pre-
serves the keen edge
that makes shaving
comfort possible.
Stropping -- shaving,
cleaning, are all done
without removing the
blade from the razor.
