An Antiseptic Child Little Walter was always carefully guarded against germs. The telephone was sprayed, the drinking utensils steril- ized, and public conveyances and places were forbidden him. “ Father,’’ he said one night, in a tone of desperation, “do you know what I am going to do when I grow up?” “What?'* asked his father, preparing himself for the worst. "m going to eat a germ.’’—Success. ) Our Friend the Microbe Dear Lire: Your proneness and happy faculty for puncturing fakes of all sorts have led me to look for your opinion on the most recent development of the “ germ theory,” the bank bills signed with car- bolized ink, so that, say, Jack Johnson wouldn't drop dead in case he handled a note not quite fresh from the mint! It is no dream, but an actual fact, that a Spokane bank is issuing, or proposes to issue, such notes, and the rest of the banks will very likely adopt the scheme. Now, here is what I did actually dream the other night: I saw a city chap push off from the pier in a rowboat, and when he got fairly adjusted in the craft he grabbed an oar and with the blade in air he set to work paddling with the small, round end of the oar. Somehow, the boat didn’t seem to spin through the water very fast, and the oarsman wasn’t very steady on his feet, but seemed in danger of tumbling into the water. I shouted to him to shift ends, which he directly proceeded to do, and he then got along very well. For years I have been shouting to our super-scientific friends in the medical profession that they “had hold of the wrong end of the stick” in regarding the various microbes found associated with this, that and the other disease as the cause of the disease, instead of the product of it. I began with a paper read before the American Social A Pierce Arrow Six-Cylinder Touring Car, 1910 model, in perfect condition, will be sold at a very low price. Owner forced to part with it.

A very fashionable boot devoid of extremes, and the best $8.00 boot the country affords. PRICE EIGHT DOLLARS The Martin & Martin Boot Shops in New York and Chicago have succeeded because they embody A New Conception of Shoe Service They believe that the function of a shoe store is, not to do the largest possible volume of business, but to keep the largest possible num- ber of people comfortably, tastefully and fashionably shod—to give the utmost possible shoe value for every dollar they accept—not to accept a dollar for which they cannot give perfect satisfaction in return—in other words, to look steadily at the public’s side of the shoe proposition. To defer your patronage of these shops is to delay what we really believe will be a revelatioa to you in shoe service, Because we know there is no economy for yon in paying less than seven dollars for shoes; do not make or sell shoes for less than th 4 recommend that you pay not less than eight dollars. because we know that if you will wear Martin & Martin shoes at these prices, your shoe expense per year will be less than it ever has been before. That is the only real test— not cost per pair, but cost per year, Test our shoes—and the intelligent, interested, store service that goes with them. Your money is always & trust with us—it is yours if we do not satisfy you. You may buy from us as well by post as in person, Let us send you photographs of the season's models.
