BAD FOR THE STOMACH.

When Non-fatty Foods Are Intimately Mixed With Grease.

The stomach never has the least power of digesting true fat. This is disposed of in the Intestines. When eaten In the ordinary forms, as fat meat, butter, etc.. the fat separates out in the stomach and does not in the least Interfere with the work of the gastric Juice on the other food, but when a non-fatty food has been intimately mixed with grease the latter prevents the gastric juice getting at the food it could digest. Fish fried in oil or butter is by no means the indst' marked example, as the fat does uot penetrate very deeply. Totatces mashed with butter are rather worse, aud minced vegetables fried with butter are bad offenders. The reason advanced explains why pork is difficult of digestion. The muscular fibers are mixed up with fat cells, and by the liberation of the oil in each tiny cell the eaten pork is made into an oily paste. A very stronp: stomach will do the work required, but it is not a fair task to Impose frequently, aud a weak stomach will refuse to do anything beyond reminding its owner by a few stabs that it will not stand such treatment. Exchange. Horse Hatred. Of al) the domestic animals the horse 1s probably the most gentle, but there are exceptions. A California man had In his stable a fin'e thoroughbred horse, of which he made quite a pet. One day he went into the stable, and. stopping to pat Ills favorite steed, he was sur prised when the horse, with a violent plunge, broke the halter and came at him with open mouth. At first he thought It was In fun. but he soon realized his mistake and hastily climbed up a ladder and yelled for help. On the arrival of bis son the horse went back to the 6tall and immediately resumed its former gentleness to all but its owner. To him it remained a dead ly foe until he was compelled to sell it He never knew the reason for its sudden animosity.

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING

Is What Half the World Is Trying to Get in One Way and Another, Including the Emotional Dead-beat Who Feeds on Sympathy and Loving Looks.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "Something for nothing." That's what half the people in the world are trying to get. Financially and socially. Even emotionally. All you need to do is to go to a free entertainment. The house is invariably packed. The only free ones that aren't patronized are those given in the churches. However this is "another story" as the erstwhile Mr. Kipling was once wont to say so fascinatingly. By the way what's become of Kipling? Is he written out? Or merely a nearclassic. Or has the public wearied of his talking ships and performing horses? Perhaps Kipling was a mere flash in the pan. A fizzing literary cocktail. A poetic sky-rocket. But, from the phllistine point of view which is ever crass, he was a success while he lasted. For he paid well or got paid well. And that is the measure of success. Not "what is the quality of his work?" But "what does he get paid for it?" "How much is he worth?" inquires some one. "Oh, a million or so." "Dear me what a charming man he must be!" A silver dollar rampant on a greenback should be the coat of arms of the average American. For it is the goal of his ambition. The exalted pinnacle of his ideal. And to accumulate as many as possible he will go around every "proposition" he can. Managers of theatres, in instance, will tell you how many people will try to beat it into the house. Its amazing how many people think they ought to be provided with season passes for the reason that they are fond of attending the theatre. Railroad officials can retail stories of similar ilk. You can hear the railroads abused on any street corner for not handing out free transportation to the general public. And it's not always the people who can't afford to go any place they want to or buy out an opera-house for an evening if they are so inclined. For Mr. Plutocrat Is as keen about acquiring pleasure and profit without heavy expenditure as is Mr. Impecunious. All kinds of people are living off of other people. No married woman can teach school, says a certain school board. Why? Very few married women who are teaching school but that are doing so for the special purpose of the support of a family. Ten to one including some man. There is a lot of talk about the para

sitic woman. But what about the parasitic man? That there are a lot of them you only have to look about you to see. The writer knows a number of women who have supported and helped sup

port men-members of their family, husbands and otherwise, for years. Submitting without complaint or comment to a condition that they were driven into. And enduring cavalier treatment from their beneficiaries. For you will generally find that the person who is Indebted to you is the person who will treat you the meanest. The person from whom you may expect short shrift. Ingratitude is apostrophized by the poets. And is the most universal vice. The ingrained human tendency to garner in whatever is in sight that won't have to be paid for is the handicap of all charitable effort. The dishonest beggar is' the hardest to deal with. He whines and holds out the hand, the while he clutches his obscured but well filled pocket. Bad as he is, however, he is gone one better by the emotional beggar. The man, or woman, who craves for sympathy.

For sympathy he will sell his bouI. Lie, cheat, pose, cling, whimper. An inordinate craving for sympathy will throw personality way out of focus. Will distort the vision. And sear the heart. He who longs for sympathy as a man hankering after a cocktail generally has as its accompaniment an an inordinate love of approbation. To stand well, to be the center of loving observation and delighted approval, he will sacrifice everybody within hailing distance. Will turn traitor to his best friends and his finest instincts. Knowing himself a craven and coward he will still worm himself Into the position of hero and martyr. Let no one mistake him. He will turn them down as remorselessly as the hunter after his quarry. He, perhaps, is a failure. If not one sort of a failure, another kind. He knows this. But he wants somebody to tell him he isn't. He has possibly fattened off the affections of an exhausted series. Vampire-like he fastens himself onto their sources of compassion and sucks from thence the latter's essence. No one is so wronged, so misunderstood, so cruelly used as he. Knowing that he has willfully stamped out the spark of affection that once existed he seeks to justify himself by lachrymose lamentings to the next in the procession. There is nothing more devastating to social intercourse than the activities of the emotional dead beat. To bask in the warmth of commiserating approval he will create more dissension, unhappiness, irritation, misunderstanding and general madness than any other one class of person. He is constantly on the still hunt for loving looks, clinging hand-pressures, you-poor-dear-abused man (or woman or girl or whatever the sex or age) expressions and large, platonic embraces. He also wallows in self pity. You know how it goes yourself. How you imagine yourself laid out dead and cold, your hands crossed, possibly with a single white rose drooping from between their stiffened fingers. You will leave a note asking them to robe you in your simple little white lace gown in which you looked so pathetically charming at Ettie's party. You will wear a sad, sad smile and your hair low on your forehead. Around your bier are grouped your weeping kin and your hosts of friends. They will remember how mean they treated you and how sweet you always were. And they will be bowed down with

i sorrow. Some of them will kneel and ; ask your forgiveness but you lie cold I and still with an enigmatic smile on i your pale, pale face. I At this point you find yourself cry- ; ing into the sofa pillow and stop because you remember it makes your

nose red and you never look pretty with a red nose. Self pity is one of the most degen

erate forms of amusement.

And the favorite in-door pastime of this same emotional dead beat. Emotionally he's on a par with the man who's always conniving after theatre and railroad passes. He's making a bid for sensations. He never gives. He takes. He's in emotional swaddling clothes. He can't stand alone. He's trying to get something for nothing.

Killing the Bad' Taste. "Maybe I won't have to take medicine again, and even if I do have to take It maybe the doctor will prescribe an ambrosia mixture, but if I should be condemned for my sins to swallow vile doses I know how I'll take them," a city salesman volunteered. "A man who was doctoring himself in the drug store showed me the way. "The druggist had mixed a particularly obnoxious dose. The man before taking it asked for cracked ice. The errand boy brought It, several spoonfuls nearly pulverized. The sick man held that in his mouth until It melted, after which the medicine seemed as mild as tea. "'I alwayM prepare my mouth that way for a disagreeable medicine.' the man said. 'The Ice numbs the nerves, and the medicine slips down without leaving any taste, good or bad.' " Exchange.

632 N. 5th St.. Terrs Haute, Ind. "My little nephew, a boy of four years, had a breaking out on his face. It was little red

ispots at first then he would rub and scratch and water blisters would form and

wherever the water would run another would come i until his face was covered

with them. He would cry

and fret. His mother got some medicine, but It did not do any good. He would scream and cry and say it hurt. We hardly knew him, bis little face was all red spots and blisters. So I begged him to let me pu

some Cuticura Ointment on them. The next mornu.; I made a strong soap suds with Cuticura Soap and washed his face in the warm suds. The little blisters burst by pressing the cloth on them. After I had his face washed, I put the Cuticura Ointment on and in a short time his little face was all red and dry. I kept using the Cuticura Soap and putting on the Cuticura Ointment and his face got well and it did not leave a scar. He was entirely cured in about one week and a half."
