".were walking, near Thirty-first street
and roppU'ton avenue. I hey ob
tained $5 20 and a diamond pin from
Miller." XI is watch they' returned
when he explained that it was given
.lum by Ins mother before she died.
' They then fled.
"There's one day that's worse than

"But, Jack, dear, if was just the

Jill braved a wicked,, raw east, wind
to walk the rounds of the shops for
her Saturday and Sunday orders.
"Your husband phoned three times
while you was away,' ma'am," the
scrubbing-woman told Jill tvhen she
returned, chilled to the bone. ; "He
seemed much excited." ' -' ' .
"Oh-, gracious, Mary! Perhaps he

Br J. J. MUNDY.
A Hobby nd Your Work.
It U good thing to have a hob
by, but do not let the hobby get such
a hold on you that you neglect your
regular work.
The first demand on you it to pro
duce on the regular job you hold and
give an honest day'i work for the
money you are paid.
If your hobby claims your thought
and attention when you are on your
every-day job, you are not an honest
man to accept money -for alipshod
work. .
You whole attention should be cen
tered on what you are doing when
you are doing it.
If you concentrate on vour work
the day will be gone before you know
it and you cannot then accomplish
all you wish. .
i.mployer are becoming more1 and
more insistent upon undivided en
deavor on the part of their men it
it service they are paying for and
the one who gives the best service
will keep his job. i .
Ihe present it the tune ot aurvival
of the littest.
If you have been wasting your time
and not improving yourelf do not
be surprised if you find it harder and
harder to get work. ...
The man who looks at work as
something necessary between himself
and starvation, merely is not on the
upgrade of success.

Dead Men's Clothes.
"The clothes of the dead never
wear long" is a common saying in
ell parts of the United States. It
means, of course, when the clothes
are worn by the living. The super
stition is entirely one of sympathetic
magic the first principles tit phil

man's clothing was supposed to be

and hit nails aud his shadow par
took of that individuality. The
clothes absorbed a part of the titan's
"ego" and thus between them and
the man became established such a
sympathetic relation that what
done to the clothes reacted on the
man and what happened to the man
necessarily reacted on his rlotli"i,
It will easily be seen then why "the
clothei of the dead never wear long,"
The superstition is sympathetic
magic In its aimpleit form, without
any "frills." and bears eery evidence
of great antiquity. This belief in a
close interrelationship between a man
and his clothes is found today among
the tribes living in a primitive state
in many parts of the world. Some
South African sorcerers "are sup
posed to destroy their victims by
getting possession of something that
they have worn," says Cloddi, and
adding ' certain "medicine," which
they mix secretly and bury. When
this dries up the victim dies. .The
belief is so strong among some

CUT THIS OUT
OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CA-
TARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
AND HEAD NOISES
Tf you know of some one who !
troubled with Catarrhal Deafnesa. head
noitei or ordinary catarrh cut out this
formula and hand it to them and you
may have been the mesne of savins lomt
poor aufferer perhapa from total deaf
ness. In England scientists for a lonir
time past have recognized that catarrh
is a constitutional . disease and neces
sarily requires constitutions! treatment.
Sprays. Inhalers and nose douches arc
liable to irritate the delicate air passages
and force the disease into the middle ear
which frequently means total deafness, or
else the disease may be driven down th
air passages towards the lungs which is
equally . as dangerous. The following
formula which is used extensively in the
damp English climate Is a constitutional
treatment and should prove especially ef
ficacious to sufferers here who live under
more favorable climate conditions.
Secure from your druggist 1 ounce of
Parmint (Double strength). Take this
home and add to it 'A pint of hot water
and a little granulated sugar;, stir until
dissolved.1" Take on6 tablespoonful four
times a day. ; . This will often bring quick
relief from distressing head noises.
Clogged nostrils should open, breathing
become easy and hearing improve as the
inflammation .in the eustachian tubes is
reduced. Parmint used in this way acts '
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system and has a tonic action
that helps to obtain the desired results.
The preparation is easy to make, costs
little and is pleasant to take. Every per
son who has catarrh or head noises or is
hard of hearing .should five this treatment
a trial.
