The butcher stopped at
Peter Tumbledown’s the other
day, and Peter got him to buy
the larger of the two bull calv
es. He is going to raise the
other one, because it eats less,
and does not show so much all
fired spunk. Peter says he
can’t see but what cows give
as much milk as they ever did
when he was a boy.

MR. BOWSER
QUITS SMOKING
He Shows His Great Will
power.
By M. QUAD.
(©. 1921, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
Mrs. Bowser looked up from tier
reading, and Mr. Bowser, who was
perusing, was chewing gum at a great
rate. His Jaws worked like a cow eat
ing hay.
“What’s that for?” she asked, ns
she caught his eye.
“I’ve wanted a quid of gum for the
last twenty years, and I have just
now got It."
“It looks very odd to see you chew
ing away. What's the matter that
you are not smoking as usual?”
“Mrs. Bowser, one explains the
other. I have quit smoking and shall
never smoke again. I’m using tills
gum because it takes the taste for
smoking away.”
“But you brought home a full box
of cigars last night. They are on the
piano, up there.”
“Yes, I know I did, fool that I was!
All this time, for thirty years past. I
have been burning up money, and
shortening my days at the same time.”
“I never could see that smoking
hurt you any,” said Mrs. Bowser.
“Mo, there are lots of things that
you never could see. I have known it
all along that it was hurting me, but
I could not summon up will-power
enough to quit. I have today sum
moned it up. Mo more smokes for me.
I have not smoked since noon, and I
feel fifty per cent better. I should
think you would notice a change in
me.”
“How did you come to do it?” asked
Mrs. Bowser.
“Wily, I was seated In my office
smoking, when Doctor fluffengnll came
ln. He at once began on me. He is
one of the most celebrated doctors in
the state. It was lie who discovered
that smoking brought on several dif
ferent ailments. He Is not afraid to
tell any man what he thinks, and he
told me some plain facts.”
“But I didn’t know that you had any
aliments.”
“You didn’t? Mice wife you are not
to realize that I had about twelve dif
ferent ailments. Because I don’t whine
and complain, and make out that I'm
a great martyr, you don’t seem to
realize that I may drop off at any
moment. I tell you, Mrs. Bowser, I
have had a narrow escape. Doctor
Guffengall said that If I had gone one
week more nothing could have saved
me. That's why I have quit smoking
and why I am never going to smoke
again. I will take that box of cigars
and empty it in the street. I havi
put the last nicotine In my system
that ever goes there.”
“Well, you can save some money, If
you quit smoking,” remarked Mrs.
Bowser in a careless way.
“I should think I could!’’ explained
Mr. Bowser as he walked about and
chewed and chewed and chewed on
his cud of gum. “The doctor and I
went over (lie case. For thirty years
I have been paying fifteen cents for a
cigar, and smoking three per day.
That's forty-five cents a day, and you
can figure how much It must have
come to in thirty years. Why, Mrs.
rr
i
- “Told Me the Plain Facts."
Bowser, it would buy a house and
lot! It would have dressed you three
times over! It would have paid my
Income tax and all other tnxes. Now,
that I look back at It, I have been
positively criminal!”
“Hut you have had enjoyment, Mr.
Bowser.”
"Yes, enjoyment of taxing poison
into my system. Well, no more goes
there. I have learned my lesson and
1 stop right here! This gum, for two
or three days, will take the place of
a smoke.”
“Hut you will have to exert strong
will-power for some time.”
'‘It will he exerted, and don’t you
forget it! When Samuel .1. Bowser
makes up his mind to do anything it Is
ns firm as the Rock of Gibraltar!”
“And you are to give me the money
you save?” queried Mrs. Bowser.
“Kvery penny of it! Next week I
will begin and give you what 1 save
every week. You will soon have every
thing you need, and can start a bank
book besides.”
“That is good of you, Mr. Bowser.
If you feel like smoking, why don’t
you take n walk on? in the fresh air.
It will help to keep your mind off It.”
“Yes, that is good advice.”
Mr. Bowser sat down.
Then he got up ngaln.
Then he walked the floor.
Then he chewed some more.
Then he walked over to the piano
and looked at the box of cigars. The
smokers looked good to him. He felt
the desire to smoke. He felt Samuel
J. Bowser’s will-power growing weak,
and he said, as he grabbed for the box :
“I will now go out and pour these
into the street, and jump on them.
They shall not get the better of me.
I may walk around for three or four
hours. If I am not home, you can go
to bed at the usual hour. Yes, It Is
going to cost me a struggle, but I am
going to beat the game just the same.
Say, a second thought strikes me. I
bought this box of cigars at the drug
store. Why won't they take them
back at a discount, and why not bring
you back the money he pays me?”
“That would be a good plan, an
swered Mrs. Bowser, but without any
enthusiasm.
Mr. Bowser departed with the box
under his arm. He did not go to the
drug store. He simply walked about,
and he thought how nice it would be
to smoke as he walked. He met two
or three other men smoking and the
smell of their smoke was good.
He would empty the cigars on the
ground and destroy them.
No, he’d be darned if he would 1
He would go right to the drug store
and make a sale.
He went up to the drug store and

Time."
passed it, and, ns he passed, he hugged
the box tighter than ever.
Then he went into a grocery and
bought a box of matches and carefully
put them away in his pocket. Then
he took a walk around the block, and
In time arrived in front of his house.
Mrs. Bowser had gone upstairs, as
the light showed. Mr. Bowser was
glad of it. He tip-toed into the yard
and took a seat on the steps. How
nice It would be to sit there and smoke
his cigar and count the stars at the
same time. It wouldn’t do any hurt
Just to look at the cigars. It wouldn't
do any hurt to bite the end off.
It wouldn’t do any hurt to strike a
match. Samuel J. Bowser had great
will-power, but the cigars had a
greater.
Mrs. Bowser's window was up and
she smelled the smoke and looked out.
There sat Mr. Bowser enjoying him
self to the uttermost. He smoked two
cigars, while she watched him, and as
she then went to bed perhaps his grent
will-power made him smoke a third
one.
She was still awake when he came
In, and he brought an odor with him
like a club smoking-room, but she
didn’t say anything. She only smiled
to herself.
Next morning the box of cigars was
on the piano again Mr. Bowser, on
(fepartlng to go to the office, took and
lighted a smoker, and nothing was
said about It. Doctor Guffengall would
have been horrified, but Mrs. Bowser
didn’t even hold up her hands. For
.‘10 long years she had seen Mr. Bowser
smoke. For at least five times a year
he had resolved to quit, and It had
always resulted In this way. Why
get up n family row over such a sim
ple thing as Mr. Bowser’s Gibraltar
will-power? Mrs. Bowser Is a very
sensible womun.
Diamonds Will Remain Dear.
The major portion of the present re
tail price of n diamond consists of
government taxes, Frank It. Wade
writes in Leslie’s. Many years ago
South African statesmen decreed that
any diamond mines which should be
discovered thereafter should pay to
the government GO per cent of their
net profits in each year. The great
t'ullinon diamond of over 3,000 carats,
which w;ts presented to the British
crown by the Transvaal government
after the Boer war, in recognition of
the speedy granting of a constitution
to the conquered state, and which was
valued at $1,000,000, cost the Syitti
African state much under that amount
in actual cash, for several hundred
thousand dollars was due the state
as a tax under the above act.
Oil-Bearing Nuta.
The royal palm tree, especially the
varieties bearing corozo and cohune
nuts, grows extensively in the coastal
region of Guatemala, and although ns
yet little industrial use has been made
of these oil-bearing nuts, they might
become the source of an important
vegetable oil industry; not only be
cause of the great Quantity of nuts
In the country, but t^so because of
the fact that the oil contents of the
Guatemalan kernels Is understood to
be 65 per cent, in comparison with 42
| per cent, for African nuts. The yield
' of kernels per ton of nuts In Guate
mala Is about 18 per cent.—Scientific
I American.
JS SPREAD BY INFECTION
Experiments Have Proved Beyond
Doubt That They Can Be Caused
by Inooulation.
The cause of warts has not been
clear, but many an old-time school
boy was doubtless convinced that
they were spread by contact and evi
dence of Doctors Wile and Kingery
now seems to show that ordinary
warts are produced by a specific in
fectious agent, that differs from
most infections in not thriving on
ordinary, cultural mediums, and
that belongs to the class of viruses
that cannot be caught on any filter.
In the experiments reported to the
Journal of the American Medical
Association, ordinary warts were re
moved and ground in a mortar with
salt, the mash obtained being passed
through the finest filter under pres
sure. The filtrate was shown by
the usual tests to be sterile, and it
was injected into several persons. In
four to eight weeks tiny warts ap
peared at the points of injection,
some of them gradually increasing
to the pize of a split pea. Inocula
tion with these warts gave a second
generation; and this proof of con
tagion is strengthened by the ten
dency of ordinary warts to grow in
crops, their transmission by contact,
and the appearance of frequent mul
tiple daughter warts.
SCIENCE WIN8 AIR 8ECRET.
The German method of treating
the aluminum alloy used in the
frames of their rigid dirigibles was
long a well-kept secret. Suspecting
that it was a heat-treating system,
the scientists in a large Pittsburgh
steel mill have, after conducting
many experiments along this line,
announced the discovery of the
method and have tabulated the
proper degrees of temperature and
the length of time these must bt
maintained.
An unlooked-for outcome of the
experiments was the discovery of s
material which is said to product
an alloy superior to that producer
by the German method.—Popula
