2. It will burn if we put a quarter in the slot. 3. It will smell. Still we find that the air is like this illuminating gas in two ways: 1, It makes us sneeze. 2. It will blow our hat off. If you get near a lawyer, you feel the air even though you can’t see it. So, too, when the wind blows, you do not see it, but it will blow the roof off your hen coop. If I should put a mouse into a jar with a good deal of oxygen and cheese in it, he’d be tickled pink. If I should then fill an- other jar with a mouse trap and carbon dioxide and put the mouse into it, he’d be irritable and cro: This shows the difference be- tween a mouse trap and carbon i s our pal, the other Fortunately, in fresh, air there is enough oxygen for everyone anda dividend for the heavy breathers. When you take a deep beath of sweet, pure, grade A air, the lungs use up the oxygen; and when you expel the carbon paper from your lungs, even your best friend won't speak to you. It is plain, then, that breathing ygen out of the air and foul ball in its place. One time a Mr. Trigger locked himself in an ice box to try the | onion test—not a bit of air could | : : | reach him. He finally used up all the oxygen and the cold Sun- day night supper to boot. Trig- ger got so hungry that he had to come out of the ice box before the boll weevil set in. Ever after- wards, in memory of that terrible night, the ice box has been called the Black Hole of Calcutta. It is fortunate for us that we don’t have to be reminded to take a breath, Forgetful people and absent-minded professors would soon suffocate. Ask teacher to show you an experiment in smothering. QUESTIONS 1. Are you self-conscious when tween the air we breathe and the 2. What is the difference be- tween the air we breathe and the hot air we throw? 3. How would you like to be a clam digger, with hay fever? 4, What would happen to us if we breathed carbon paper? 5. Is a mouse happy in a jar full of air? 6. Try snoring at night. In church. Under water. —Jacx Ciuett my its the A-HA’S is that dread disease known by the vulgar as “chapped skin.’? The term “Ha-Ha” is sometimes confused with laughter—but its agricul- tural significance is @ scraped or invisible ditch, OU will see at once how cleverly it suggests that fur- rowed condition of the epider- mis; caused by undue exposure, cold and moisture. Most of the really difficult scientific names for things having been used up, we hit on “Ha-Ha’s” (note the euphony) as most suitable and pleasant. A-HA’S (chapped skin) is quite catching; that is to say, Ha-Ha’s (chapped skin) catches on everything in reach -—silks and wools and things— making one most uncomfortable. There’s a cure, of course, for ps) Ha-Ha’s (chapped skin) or this ad would be senseless. The cure is Frostitia! HIS delightfully fragrant refreshing lotion banishes Ha-Ha’s (chapped skin) more swiftly than a Chinese general can switch his allegiance. Knead it gently into the pores and that corneous—corrugated “body’s bark” (the skin) becomes as soft, as supple,as “La Peau de Suede.” That’s rather fine, we think... . So’s Frostilla! A dollar’s the price—or fifty cents if you pre- fer a trifle less for your money. T might be a good idea to put on your hat and coat and go at once to your favorite drug store or toilet goods counter. Have your money in your hand —and simply say, “Frostitia”!
