Our Town Our town is getting along very well at present, thank you. Sonne of the oil people discovered another pretty corner lot the other day and now there's a fine filling station on It. But that is the hurt one. All of our main streets are lined with filling stations and no matter where you run out of gas, all you've got to do is whistle and the filHng station man's hose is long enough to readh you, . > The average family in our town is only %bout 7 installments behind. No one has stopped riding. Bridge par. ties are as. numerous as ever and there are still a few folks who don't know any better than to try to run back-yard poultry farms. We have no mosquitoes or book agents in thai community tit present and all of tho jake paralysis boys are improving some. Church collections have fallen considerably on account of vacations and the advance in lipsticks and nose powders. Bananas are selling at 3 for a dime, and go's cantaloupes. The barber shop war is not quite bver. Hair cuts can be had from 10 cents each up to 3 for a dollar. Shoe shines are firm art a dime and shampoos have declined only 5 points since the Marne drive. There is some complaint aloout the price and quality of bottled-behind-the-barn booze.

Tree sitting is a memory. Bwimmiug pools are getting ready for the fall season; they are offering 8 swims for 75 cents instead of 26 cents each as heretofore. The defeated candidates have explained why. Those elected are saying: *4l know a good man could win." Street peddlers are still giving 8 quarts of beans to the gallon and 11 ounces of butter to the pound. But as a whole, we are getting along fine and have decided to try to lire another year and trust to Hoover's prosperI ity. , Health Hints One night last week, I ate something that grerw on a pig and the next morning I had a covey of fever blisters on my nether jaw, and various and sundry were the remedies and forecasts tendered me the next day by my many, many friends. (There are several people who still speak to me and I call them friends). At tho postoffice on my way to work, X met Mr. Gloom and he said; "Boy, what in tlie world is the matter with your face ? Looks powerful like airy-sipelas to me, and I ought to know: my youngest brother died with it. You should paint that place with tincture of Iodinastinctical Siddiodum. That's a patent medicine but it is fine for cancers and other infectious diseases." I thanked him and got my 23 diirxs out of my j mail box and proceeded onward. T I ran into a horse doctor at the Isomer of Rabbit and Possum streets and he lot loose as follows: "Sorry j^o see you all bunged up. Let me .? see them nor**?(lie *quee*?d my tender spot for a minute or two). I<ooks like dietember or mange to (tie. Better have that place cauterized at once and it wouldn't hurt to sprinkle some Vitamin "B" on it before going to bed tonight. My Uncle John had a place like that once. He's dead pow. G*un?e a match." ' r-< My old washer-woman accosted me in front of the 10-cent store as follows: "Lawsy, Mussy. Bless my soul. Mr. Gee, is you done gone and ktoehed som?thin' nuther? My ole man had a breakin' out on him once for do worl' je? like dat, aivd it spreaded all over bipi plum down to his stummick and he dide. You go right back home, boy, and get yore ole lady to put a sassafrae poltis on dem little bile bofo' you wake up in de graveyard. Mr. Gee, gimme a dime, plese sir; dis ole nigger wants some terbucker." , I grew more and more uneasy as advice was pumped into me. I be-; gan to sens? an interior itching u- j round those little pimples ami thfe idea of a probable cancer loomed big j in my mind. I felt all along that | those pig knuckles fetched forth those blisters, but 1 didn't know for a fact that I had properly diagnosed my case, so I went to my. family doctor. He hasn't said a word to m? yet, but he wiped the afflicted area with a pinch of cotton dipped in alcohol and then he reached in his medicine chest and brought forth ^ bottle of pokeberry juice and dec orated the environs of my mug and pushed me out the door. I met 2 boys down the str^ immediately thereafter, and one of them said: "That guy's wife sure did give him a hellova lick with a frying pan, didn't she Bill." Bill replied?"It sure do look so."
