ORTHOGRAPHY:
A traveling saleman remarked the other day that the
incorrect spelling on the “Walton for Goveror” banner
hanging over Main street could be remedied by making it
read “Jack Walton for EROR”
THE SCIENCE OF BREWING:
It is rumored that a farmer near Slick is fertilizing
his corn field with broken glass in the hope that next
year’s crop will grow on the stalk already bottled
and fresh for days
Over there is a grouchy a grumbling citizen too full
of aches and pains to work expecting the neighbors to
ask after his “rheumatism” every time they see him and
offer sympathies Watch him at the table he does not
know what to eat how much to eat nor how to eat it
This pretty girl or who would be pretty if her face
were not blotched with skin sores: what is the matter
with her? Same Blood kept perpetually out of order
by foolish eating - '
Same and more of it with hosts of us How many
personal and community ills are due to incorrect eating?

FRIDAY THE 13th:
' The superstitious arose this morning and gazed out
ujion a city fraught with dangerous possibilities the
mirror is being treated with especial deference to pre
vent breakage black cats are strictly ostracized and lad-
ders shunned — all because some one looked at the cal

end&r and made the startling discovery that today is
Friday the Thirteenth “No I’m not superstitious but-”
is heard on every side and journeys business transac-
tions purchases pleasures visits marriages and pro-
posals of marriage are postponed The ardent swain is
absent from the side of his lady fair for fear of precip-
itting a rift in the lute which might lead either to a bro-
ken heart or a suit for breach of promise when ordin-
arily he couldn’t be kept away by anything short of fire
flood or earthquake Those who finish the day in an
everyday manner will heave great sighs of thankful-
ness and relief and if the house waits until tomorrow
to burn down or Johnny don’t break out with the
measles until the 14th theij these calamities will be re-
garded as mere incidents But in the meantime today is
Friday the 13th so “watch your step”

The train was late — even later than
was usual on the Frisco and as they
crawled into Sapulpa a weary travel-
er wok beard to exclulm:
“What a villainous looking station

pose Look at those girl in the dining
room Why do they dress them all In

“Don’t you know?" said the fellow
pa senger In a most solemn tone of
voice and with' a look of awe on hi
face
"No" replied the curious and fretful
traveler
"Why” said the other “Because they
are In mourning for the late trains”

DIGGING OUR GRA VES WITH OUR TEETH:
By J E McAfee Community Counsellor I’niverslty of OLlabmiai
What we eat and how we eat it makes all the differ-
ence in this world and the next At any rate they large-
ly determine when we shall arrive in the next Diet de-
termines the length of life and its happiness and effi-
ciency more than any other one thing
See that long lean lank lantern-jawed fellow over
there? He is being killed with a frying pan No his
wife is not malicious She is not committing murder I
But she is killing her family so that they will be just as'
dead as if she murdered them
If she had her heart full of murder she would use an
axe and make quick work of the job But she is only
' ignorant and careless so she uses a frying pan and does
her killing by degrees And the too sad truth is they
like it — or do not know any better either There is no
question but that all over the state the frying pan is an
instrument of slaughter
We eat too much fried stuff Too little vegetable
stuff in a state which will grow almost anything which
either the semi-tropics or the temeprate zone will pro-
duce Too many soggy mushy doughy hot biscuit in a
climate w’here good wholesome bread will keep sweet
Impatient Diner "Who' Balling at
this table?"

Another reason why we like to get a
postal card I because It doesn't come
marked “postage due”
A furious man rushed Into n news-
paper office He na a loenl celebrity
and hud Ixs-u reirted ns present at
a ImixIiik match
“Y'ou referred to me us the well-
known light -weight champion" he
roared
"Well?" said the editor
"And I'm uot that's my brother I'm
the coal merchant"
Scene: Hindi corner A traffic hold-up
owing to a bn hnvln grnn over a cat
I'olheinuii on dut duty wearily
to an aged lady (the l'tihi Inquiring
a lo uhnt ha hnpieticd' "Yes niu'atu
a bn ran over a out"
"What really
t re-t ?"
In the middle of the
UNCLE HANK
“No ma'am the cat climbed a lamp

AS MIGHT be deduced from the
fact that the word “livery” Is of
French origin — derived from the verb
“llvrer" “to deliver"— the cjstotu of
clothing servants in a uniform started
In France where It was the bublt of
the early French king to give
clothes to their servants Because
these’ outfits were given or delivered
free of charge the uniforms were
spoken of as "llieres" and the cus-
tom graduully spread until ull of
the nobility and even some of the
gentry were clothing their servants
As a means of dllferentiuting between
the servants of various bouses the
uniforms were made of contrasting
color and varying styles und the
French verb when translated Into
English became “livery”
In England however the ferm has
hail a number of meunlng During
the reign of Edward IV for example
it appears to have been synonymous
with "badge" because this murk of
service consisted of a crest or coat-of-urms
worn upon the left sleeve-
much a the men of the Americun
expeditionary force wore an arm-
badge or insignia to designate the
regiment to which they belonged
Like other uniforms yhe servants’
livery gradually became standardized
und today there I fur less Ini It tide
In the choice of servants' clothing d
this kind than there was In the
Middle ages
