The Man And His Town.
There are always many differ-
ent kinds of people found in every
town. There are some who are
selfish--so selfish that they will
not help themselves by helping
©thers This kind of selfish people
as a rule are very busy. They
are busy because they find it so
very difficult to make a living.
They have to do it all themselves ;
not being helpers, they do not get
help.
But in the same town with this
class there is usually found the op-
posite—the big, broadminded, un-
selfish men who are trying to help
someone else, and who, as a result
of this spirit, have a great many
helpers.
This old world full of strange
things, and one of the things thai
many people look upon as strange
is the fact that usually the business
man in the town who has the most
lime to devote to the upbuilding ot
his town is the man who has the
most business to look after. On
tne other hand, tne fellow wbi,
complains that he hasn't time to
devote to anytnir.g Out his busi-
ness usually is tne little fellow
who finds tnat it taaes every mo
ment c> his time to matte a living.
The man who helps the town is a
community assei, while tne man
wno lends no hsip nas been de
fined as a parasite.

to the great author, Dr. Olivet
Wendell Holmes, and wanted to
know if the story was true and if
so, what would be the proper dose.
Dr. Wendell Holmes answered him
as follows; *-My son, it is quite
true that the brain cortaius pbos
phorous and it is also true that
fish contain phosphorus and, after
carefully pursuing your letter, I
would say that the proper dose for
you would be a wbaie on toast
A traveling man got int« a con-
troversey with one of the phone

The manager of the exchange went
to the gentleman and told him he
had better apologise. He rangcental
andasked : "Are you the young lady
I told to keep her shirt on?" "I
sure am," she snappedj back.
"Well, it's all right with me;
you can take it off if you want to,"
was his apology. .
How Jo Tan A Hide.
The methed described may be
used for all imall skins, such as
sheep, goat fox, wolf, rabbit and
many others when an open skin is
desired.
The skin should be removed
from the carcass before decompo-
sition has advanced to a noticeable
extent, freed from blood and dirt
by wiping with a damp rag, then
combed until quite dry. Apply a
good covering of salt, rubbing it
into every part of the flesh side.
Roll the skin, flesh side in, and
set aside in a place free from rats,
etc., for about ten hours, or over
night'
With a very sharp knife or razor
remove all lumps of fat and flesh.
Work the skin in gasoline tor an
hour or two. (Caution --Away
from all tires and outside of a
building.) Then hang up in the
shade to dry. This will require
out a few minutes
Stretch the skin, flesh side up.
on a flat surface. Clamps are
good to nold the skin; ta:ku often
cause large holes. The stretching
should be done with care and not
enough to pull the hair apart-
Excessive stretching will develope
thin spots, which will wear rapidly.
Prepare an acid;salt solution by
dissolving two pounds of salt in a
gallon of boiling water, and when
this is cold, add a fluid ounee of
strong sulfuric acid. Mix well.
Wet a rag with the solution
nnd apply it to the skin every
little wnile for three or four days
Then allow the skin to become
almost dry. remove it from the
drying board. Now work the
flesh side back and forth over the
jdge of a smooth piece of hard-
wool—a good shovel handle will
do—until the skin is soft. If the
flesh side should be hard or rough
in spots it may be finished with
sandpaper.—Dr Charles K Fran-
cis, Chemist Experiment Station,

There still are doctors who quest-
ion the efficacy of inoculation with
typhoid fever serum, whidh is com-
pulsory in the United States army.
But here are the statistics, as sum-
marised by the Louisville Courier-
Journal; "In 1898 when the Uni-
ted States had an army of 12,000
men in Florida there were 2,600
cases of typhoid fever and 480
deaths in four months. In the
year 1913 in the entire army at
home and abroad there were only
six cases of this disease. In the
big mobilization camps in Texas
this year and last, covering a peri-
od of many months, there was not
a case of typhoid fever. This is
a record ptobably unparalleled in
the history of armies." It's pretty
hard to remain a doubter in the
face of a showing like that-
