"The original and true saying," the doctor continued, "no doubt was ’Feed a cold ami starve a fever,’ but it has been twisted about to mean exactly tiie opposite of what it was intended to mean.” Date Set for Sessions Tiie Constitution provided that tiie congress should assemble March 4, 1789, and thereafter convene "in I every year” on tiie lirst Monday in | December unless it shall by law appoint a different day.

Just trans posing the names would fix things all right.—Capper's Weekly. o Take Care of Yourself One often hears tiie statement that people are living longer. It is denied by experts as clever as those advancing tiie claim, but in ; any event you will not get your share of longer life unless you "take care of yourself" in the old [ practical wiv.
