Air Tore III Face.
After he stepped out of his machine
nt Ormond, Friday, two miles beyond
the finish, Marriott said:
"The pressure of the air fairly tore
my face. My' eyes felt as though they
were melting, even under my wind

the last threud of life, crouched so
that nothing but my goggles were

About a year ago Sewell Ford be
came a resident of Rye, N. Y. He
had lived there only a short time be
fore he discovered that one of his
neighbors was Simeon Ford. The
revelation wag made over the tele
phone. "Hello !" sold a voice, "Is this Sewell
Ford?"
The author of "Shorty" admitted
that It was. .
"Well," went on the voice, "this Is
Simeon Ford. Someone's sent me your
meat bill."
"Gpod! Why don't you pay It?"
"I will If you'll pay mine," said
Simeon.
At last accounts the bargain had
not been concluded. Simeon runs a

How to Clean Flub,
Do not wash fish too much, as by so
doing you lose some of tho flavor. Some
fish are cut open before being emptied,
others have the Insldes drawn out. Be
oareful not to disfigure the fish. Clean
It thoroughly and see that no blood is
left on the bone. If the fish feels
slimy, rub It well with a little salt
Scales should be scraped oft with a
knife, scraping from the tail upward,
and tho fish well rinsed afterward. In
cutting off the fins cut from the tall
upward. In taking out the eyes, If the
skin over them Is tough, cut it first
with a pair of scissors, and then the
eye can easily be pulled out, or pushed
out from the Inside. Fish that have a
strong, muddy flavor should be soaked
In suit and water before being cooked.

a big, robust woman, who is never j
without a list of ailments as long as

"The last time she sent for the doc-
tor he lost patience with her. As she
was telling him how she was suffering
from rheumatism, sore throat, nervous
Indigestion, heartburn, pains In the
