TELLS RIGHT WAY TO COUGH Physician's Directions Would Certain ly Prevent One Becoming a Nui ? sance to Companions. The following directions as to how to cough are given hy a physician in the Journal of the Outdoor Life: 1 "Fold your handkerchief so that it; is about five inches square. Place it flat in the right hand, if you are right handod, and with this hand hold it tightly over the mouth. Press the hand on the mouth, as to hold it loosed over the mouth will not ac complish the purpose. Now instead of couching and trying to muffle the sound in your throat or mouth, muffle it with your handkerchief. Practice it until a person ten feet away can not hear you. "The sound made in coughing is due partly to air passing over the vocal cords, partly to air going through the bronchial tubes and trachea, and part ly to the resonance produced in the chambers above the trachea. This sound can be almost wholly avoided and the irritation to the lungs and air passages prevented by keeping the air passages open and letting your hand kerchief do the muffling. Now instead of expelling 120 cubic inches of air at each expiration, you will expel a smaller amount, with more comfort to yourself and to those around you and with much less harm to your lungs." GOOD FOR THE WILY EDITOR Some Method in His instructions ac to Kow One Might Achieve Long Life. i The famous writer for the Belt Line series of yellow, journals and author of magazine stories and popular lec tures, whose name was a household word, sat him down in response to a passionate demand from 4,000,000 readers and wrote the following: MY RULES FOR LONG LIFE. I am seventy-five years of age and have married and successfully gotten rid of four wives, and never have had a. day's illness. Anyone can do as I haye done by observing the following rules: , Eat plenty of bananas. Drink plenty of pure distilled bot tled water between meals. Wear linen underwear. Rub the body dry with horsehair mitts twice a day. Breathe deeply through any good breathing tube. Don't worry. , Then, having sent a bill for advertis ing to the banana trust, the bottle trust, the linen underwear trust, the horsehair mitt trust, the breathing tube trust and the Don't Worry Pub lishing company, he went out to take a much-needed auto ride.-Life. Now Practice "Safety First" A delegation of indignant women once waited upon the head of a trolley company. "You must lower the steps of your cars at least three inches," said the spokeswoman firmly. "They are much too high. It ls almost impossible for ii s to reach them. Our lives are en dangered." "Certainly," said the head of the trolley company, and he gave orders: that the steps should be lowered. When the work was completed-the company operated several thousand cars-the president informed the wom en that he had complied with their j wishes and hoped that the revised steps would prove satisfactory. j * 1 "Oh, thank you," they replied, "but ? it doesn't matter now, really. The fashion in' skirts has changed. They aro now made full." The railroad company now has Its cars designed by a topnotch Paris modiste.-Puck. Chopin and George Sand. With regard to George Sand, A. B. Walkley, the English critic, writes: "The mixture of passion and printer's ink in the lady's composition is surely one of the most curious blends ever .offered to the palate of an epicure. "But it was a blend that gave the lady an unfair advantage over poster ity. One feels this in regard to hen .Affair with Chopin." As Prince Karol, George Sand took no trouble to conceal the great com poser's identity. Written while they were still together, her children said to him: "Dear Chopin, have you read 'Lu crecia ?' Mamma has put you in it" 'Orange Peel as a Laxative. '. 'T'/e Lancet quotes from Rosenthal 'the following recipe for a very simple laxative: Fresh orange peel ie boiled for half an hour in water. This first very bitter infusion ls thrown away or utilized for washing or for the teeth. The peel is then bolled a sec ond time for 30 minutes in slightly ^sugared water and afterward spread -cut to dry. It is then ready for use. 'The peel of a single orange is suf ficient to produce the desired effect, tand this is accompanied by a flow of ??ile of variable amount, and this bili ary activity continues for several hours. v One Man's Theory.

Efficiency may be a much overwork ed word, but that only tends to prove its efficiency. < * A European ruler ulways swells up and speaks of "my troops" when they're winning. A goodly portion of Europe doesn't care where it eats its Christmas din ner, just so It eats. Nobody loves the neutral now, but after the war he will be hailed as everybody's best friend. Returning vacationists are convinced that after all a rich brown tan is not much as a tangible asset Aside from the fact that our aero planes on the border will not fly, they are pretty good aeroplanes. Cleanliness is coming to be an essen tial to business success in the handling of foods. This is progress. Some of i the best road records of the season are being made by Ameri can aviators walking back. It seems that It ls a fad of the North sea fishermen to hear the noise of na val battles that'never happen. One of the pitiful sights in life ls to see a man with a plan for ending the war trying to raise a car window. With gasoline and golf balls both cheaper the sufferings of the unfortu nate rich are somewhat alleviated. j The fault of our time and manners Is, men are too apt to regard an office a place to browse in instead of serve in. Maine fisherman says he knows fish can talk. When they have anything to say they probably tell it to the ma rines. Fortunately, it is not necessary to appeal to the sypreme court to decide whether every tennis service ls In or out What the world most needs is a Winsted hen that will lay an egg with the word "Peace" indelibly etched In the shell. Another costly variety of paper lu that upon which are written the notes that are bases for breach of promise suits. It Is announced that there ls '$380, 201,707 In the Philarelphia mint. That ls one of the finest mint beds we ever heard of. <? "Few men," sagely observes a wise guy, "know what ls really in them." They should try eating ice cream with pork and beans. When n moving picture serial is giv en the mnnagers should take pains to see that the plot moves along a little every week or so. . As soon as a possible shortage of leather was announced Dame Fashion, with characteristic extravagance, made the shoetop higher thun ever. Don't be pessimistic. If your grouch becomes bothersome, and you feel like kicking the dog, it is quite possible that a dose of castor oil will fix you up. If you tell a girl she ls pretty and she pouts and deprecates lt keep on a telllng her. There is no music to equal it so far as her ears are concerned. Still, ln^the long run lt ls better to leave a boy with a good character and let him make his million dollars than to leave a million and ruin him entire ly. It must be embarrassing to the guests at the summer hotels to have to give the orders to college girl wait ers who know how to pronounce the menus. A Cleveland pastor thinks Darwin Is to blam? for the war. Still, when get ting right back to first principles, Adam and Eve were probably funda mentally to blame. That San Francisco judge's proposal for shooting . feebleminded jurors hasn't been carried out yet, we under stand, but the Juries are still com pelled to suffer the gas attacks of the lawyers. Nearly all the members of the mili tia wear wrist watches. Nobody ques tions the utility or desirability of the wrist watch in the field; lt's only the soft chap who wears lt In the ballroom who makes a joke of it The man who leads a dual life is a consummate scoundrel, but the man who wears himself to a frazzle trying to support one family, stern though he be in condemnation of the fellow who simports two, hands it to him for man agerial genius.
