HAD REAL IDEA CF ECONOMY
Jap Explains How Family Was En-
abled to Use One Fan Two or
Three Generations
Among the Japanese economy is
held to be a high virtue Two old mi-
sers of Tokyo were one day discussing
ways and means of saving
"I manage to make a fan last about
twenty yeurs” said one “and this is
my system: 1 don't wastefully open
the whole fan and wave It carelessly
I open only one eection at a time
That is good for about a year Then
I open the next and so on until the
fan Is eventually used up”
"Twenty years for a good fan!” ex-
claimed the other "What sinful ex-
travagance! In my family we use a
fan for two or three generations and
j this Is how we do It: We open the
wliule fan but we don't wear It out
by waving It Oh no! We hold it
still like this under our nose and
wave our face!” — Everybody's
Warrior of Today
George Wharton Pepper said at a
luncheon at the Plattsburg training
camp for officers:
"The methods of warfare have
changed enormously In the past year
The aword for example Is no longer
carried The sword has quite disap-
peared from war
"A story comes from the Argonne
about a French chasseur who took a
German officer prisoner The chasseur
a boy a tyro said to the officer:
' 'Give up your sword’ ”
"But the officer Bhook bis head and
answered:
" ‘I have no sword to give up But
won't my vitriol spray my oil projec-
tor or my gas cylinder do as well?"
Just as He Had Said
"You remember selling me some
hair-restorer when I called the other
day to get shaved you hoary-headed
old thief?” roared the indignant cus-
tomer "You sold It under false pre-
tences sir You said it would restore
my head to Its original condition”
"Well didn't It work?” asked the
barhoK
"Work? No It's taken o It what lit-
tle hair I used to have and I am as
bald as the pavement now”
"That's quite right sir No false
pretence about that I said It would
restore your head o Its original condi-
tion and you know sir most of us
are born bald”
Not Hers
She was looking for an apartment
"It must be In a first class neigh-
borhood” she said "and It must have
ten large rooms three baths and all
modern improvements and I won’t pay
a cent over $40 a month”
”1 know the very place you're look-
ing for" replied the agent “but if you
want to find out how to get there
you'll have to consult a clergyman"
Tha Haughty Help
‘‘Do you mlsa the summer board-
ers?” "Kind o'" replied Farmer Corotos-
sel "A summer boarder is right com-
i fortiu' to have around- from time to
time He ain't nigh so bossy sn' fault
findln' as the hired men”

NOT AS HE EXPRESSED THEM
Teamster’s Words Would' Hava Re-
quired Adjustment Before Their
Ute In the PulpiL
A man was brought before a police
court charged with abusing his team
and using loud and profane language
on the street One of the witnesses
was a pious old darky who was sub-
mitted to a short cross-examination
"Did the defendant use improper
language while he was beating hia
horses?” asked the lawyer
"Well he talk mighty loud suh"
"Did be indulge in profanity?"
The witness seemed puzzled The
lawyer put the question In another
form :
"What I mean Uncle Aus is — did
be use words that would be proper for
your minister to use In a sermon?”
"Oh yes suh” the old man replied
with a grin that revealed the full
width of bis Immense mouth “but
dey'd have to be 'ranged diff'runL"—

THIS la the caution applied to the publio announcement of Caatoria that

It is to be regretted that there are people who are now engaged in the
nefarious business of putting up and selling all aorta of substitutes or what
should more properly be termed counterfeits for medicinal preparations not
Only for adults but worse yet for children’s medicines It therefore devolves
