TWO DANGEROUS HABITS.
Don't Soratch, Even With Clean Nails,
and Don't Pinch.
Scratching oneself and pliking at
pimples or sore spots are dangerous
habits, likely to result in infections
more or less serious. 'Tis is proved
by examination of the scrapings of
nails under the microscope. Even
hantls and nails that are kept scrupu
lously clean by washing and brushing
are not free frthiu the germs of skin I
discuses.
Dr. Albert Schneider of San Fran.
cisco reports to the Journal of th'e -
Amercan Medical Association the re
sults of the microscopic examination of
the scrapings of the nails of 143 stu
dents In a surgical college. 'T'here were
found bacilli, cocci and spirillue of
inany sorts. especlally those that pro
duce pus.
'T'hese facts, lie points ,out. may be or
great importance in crimInal trials.
Dr. Schneider cltes one case in which
a anai was aecused of killing a baby.
In the scrapings of his nlails were
found the "frustules of fresh water
diatoms and a few flaments or oscilia.
tin." This led to the stispiclon that 1he
had buried his victim's body in at
marsh. Careful sent reb of the hanks of
a1 marshy stream near by disclosed the
litle corpse.
Dr. Schneider says such disenses as
inpuis. acne. bolls and enrbuncles are
traceable to seratching. Nall biters
freqluently infect themselves.
"'he're Is the e of the husband,"
lie writes, "whose neck on the left side

Cooperation.
Mr. Lee Spoon, who lives on the
aeunty line of Iaurens and Newberry
i d hard by the Liberty Hill grave
yard, had read, somewhere, that. "Co
>peration is the order of the day," and
te thought he would .see if there wa
anything to it, so he sent out word for
the neighbors to meet on a certain
lay, and "cooperate" in cleaning off
his old grave yard, which is in plain

hinted to his neighbors to bring their
families with them, and that meant
well filled baskets of good things to
eat.
The men with some of their hired
help were on the job early, and in a
few hours this old grave yard, where
some of our brothers and sisters, and
parents and grandparents, are buried,
was nicely cleaned off, and Lee says
he can walk out there now at the set

ings, as there are no weeds and bush

customed to see spooks long about
dusk.
When the work was finished, we all
went. down to that old historic spring
that nature so artistically walled
around with granite, and where it is
said soldiers were camped at the close
of the revolutionary war, and on the
hill above, they ereeted a liberty pole.

in real social enjoyment, some one
proposed to "set the table," and when
that long table had been fairly loaded

several big pots of hash was lifted out.

fine and was greatly enjoyed by all
