One of the best things that was ever done for the medical profession was when somebody invented the harmless white pill which could be sold at a 900 per cent margin. A fter a young doctor who is just out of school has fed a few tons o f these pills to the people o f his community, he can quit work nnd lie around a summer resort in white flannel pants nnd a look o f sweet content.

Both schools o f medicine, allopath and homeopath, prescribe pills when ever ail else has failed. It is con sidered better prnctice to prescribe an operation at tlie expense of the abut ting property owner, but once in a while a stray pill will strike the right spot wl.en the doctor is not looking nnd effect a cure. Tills Is one o f the sorest trials the doctor has to bear. There is a strong suspicion abroad that If people would eat fewer pitja and take more exercise, mixed with a semloecasionnl bath, they would live longer and have more money to spend on tires and inner tubes. Pills will not revive energy in a man who never had any to start with. (Copyright.) -------- O-------- Facts About Storage. I f there is one modern subject filled, for the novice, with surprises, it is cold storage, says the Nation s Busi ness. How many persons, for example, know that cold storage and cold stor ing are different enterprises? How many know that a frozen fish, perhaps six months out of the water Is apt to he a chemically “fresher” fish than a so called "fresh" fish three days out of the water? How many know that the musty taste that Identifies the cold storage egg is due more to the strawboard in which It is packed than to the dis integrating effect o f time? Yet the answers nre plain facts, de veloped and asserted in the main by government specialists. -------- O-------- Itch to Print. “ What was the first tiling American troops did when they reached a new station In occupied Germany?" “That's easy to answer," said an ex change editor. “ They looked around for a German printing office and start ed a newspaper.”— Birmingham Age- Herald. ,
