When these two gases get together they become wet. This often happens when in dry territories. Water is found ill many placos and has mauy uses. It is found principally in oceans, lakes, rivers, milk, on the knees, on tho brain, and more recently it has been seen on some bars, One becomes ac? customed to having water in oceans, lakes, rivers, etc., ond men are gutting used to having it given to tin in over burs, but having it on the knee or on the brain is nuother thing. When water is oil the kin e, the condi? tion is easily remedied by the nillictod person weiring pumps. If you suspect you have water on the brain, have a small hole bored in your head. If water runs out, you have "water on the brain"; if nothing runs out, you have no bruins, Noah was the lirst prohibitionist, He lived for forty days and forty nights on water. The strain was too much for him, however, and ns soon as he got out of the Ark he beat It for fermented grape juice and drank himself cock-eyed.

Swat the Cougher He is More Dangerous Than a Man With a Pistol lie causc He Scatters His Shots. Richmond, Va., Oct. I?.? This is the timo when colds, coughs, grip, whooping cough ami inhereulosis an- widcl) spread. During the school day* of curl) fall, when people have ant changed tu heavy clothing, had colds start and the cougher spreads t hem abroad. The State Hoard of Health declares that the cotighur is more dangerous than the pistol shooter. The latter may miss Iiis mark; or at the worst, he ir apt to hit only one victim; hut the cougher llings broadcast into the air the germs of any nose and throat disease, or nil) lung trouble he may have, and whoever comes along and breathes into Iiis system some of these germs is very likely to catch the disease. "If you must cough," says the h o a I t h commissioner, "cough into your handkerchief. If your liuudkerchief is not available bend your head tow? ard the ground when you have to COligh. The germs are not j apt to come up froin the ground alter the next fellow, hut Hioj take a long lime to lall if you] cough straight out into the air. " This is the time also to warn children against pulling pen- j cils or lingers into their mouths mid also against using the com-; moil drinking cup So much of the child's energy is expend? ed in growth that it has little' left for the building of n sis lance, mi the youngster is more1 susceptible than the adult to almost every disease; but if he can he taught to avoid Ihel promiscuous cougher and made lo keep OV?r) thing except his food and toothbrush out of his IllOUtil, there is little or no chance of getting diphtheria, scarlet fever or any of the iron bles mentioned above." Bvery community has its' spirit. With some it is one of honor and integrity and pro. gressive intellectuality. With others the spirit of greed, gouge, repression and retro? gression predominates. The tirst attains its aim in life, while the latter aims no llighcl than that which it attains. We of this community have our choice. We can progress with the march of time, or we can procrastinate while tune march? es by. This is an age when men do things, or they do noth? ing There is no middle of the road course. The man who has the will to grasp his opporluni ties also has the power to make them. That is What we should I do. a/\a J\tL XX Ouaii J i i Cf>ammoui\l lrhrafl(jyuinn> By WILLIAM IJ l?
