While Prof. Bruce's wife was not present, the teachers and others made it very pleasant for the visiting guests. I can only close by producing the interview from Prof. Bruce, which is as follows. He says: "We are necessarily a working school without pretense, talk and without frills and feathers, both teachers and students work alike. The school has a girls' hall fairly well equipped, worth $10,000, but needs most of all a boys' building to accommodate forty or fifty boys, and I think that charitably cloosed colored people of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri should investigate this hard working school and work by giving some building or land or stocking their equipment as a testimone of their interest and best wishes. The Bartlett Agricultural and Industrial school deserves full and proper equipment and its faculty is composed of college and university as well as industrially trained men and women and we will thankfully receive any donation or gift that you may desire to give.

Malta Fever is Transmitted by Animal's Milk, and Has Affected Families on Goat Ranches in Texas and New Mexico. Washington—Scientists of the bureau of animal industry have compiled a bulletin which is of practical interest to all who raise goats and to such invulvities as have been prescribed goat's milk as a diet. Proofs have conclusively established that the transmission of fever "maltains" in animals, "maltains" "slowly withphory" or by certain other designations, to man, is accomplished by the milk of infected goats. Careful observation in Texas and New Mexico show that the disease has always made its appearance among people connected with goat raising. Entire families have been taken sick with it on goat ranches. The sickness appears usually after the middling season, during the months of April, May and June, when the people are in closer contact with the goats. Observations have also shown that just over the border in Mexico goat herders are not nearly so liable to the disease. Conclusions have been drawn that this is not due to any natural immunity but to the fact that the Mexicans always boil the milk before drinking it, while the Americans use it raw. The general opinion has prevailed that the United States is free from Malta fever, and that the disease has only occurred through importations. However, it now seems evident that the Malta-fever has existed in Texas and New Mexico for at least 25 years. The fever takes its name the Mediterranean 'Britain' island in the Mediterranean, and the disease has been exceedingly prevalent among British soldiers and sailors. Its occurrence in tropical, and subtropical localities has been noted in almost every country. A number of cases have been reported among our soldiers who had just returned from the Philippine islands. Pasteurization of infected milk for 20 minutes at 145 degrees Fahrenheit is sufficient to destroy the organism which transmits the disease. Therefore, milk pasteurization for the destruction of typhoid and tuberculosis germs will also be free from Malta fever germ. The symptoms of human beings are usually pronounced and give rise to a more or less severe affection. The most striking symptom is an attack of fever with perjuries of normal temperatures. The duration of these periods varies considerably during the disease. The fever may be remittent or intermittent; it may be continuously high or low, and at all stages of the disease the type of the fever may change. It may be very acute from the onset, the fever setting in with chills and rise of temperature associated with severe headache and pain in the back, and a general ill feeling. The pulse and respirations are generally accordance with the height of fever in a future of the disease may extend for from six weeks up to a year, and cases have even been observed in which relapses have occurred for three years. In human beings the mortality is estimated at three per cent. In animals the course of the disease always appears to be protracted. Cases have been noted in goats that extend over a period of more than a year. In animals the disease is always favored far in advance, cerned. But although the disease has no active effect on goats, its eradication must be considered for the public health, and it is particularly important since there has been a tendency recently among physicians to advise the goats' milk for children and inadults. CATTLE DISEASE ERADICATED. Owing to the fact that many importers of pedigreed British cattle, sheep and swine are unaware that the prohibition against the importation of ruminants and swine from Great Britain, on the ground of the presence of foot-and-mouth disease in these countries, has been removed, the British Ambassador through the state department, has requested the secretary of agriculture to make wide public announcement that the disease has been eradicated and that importations to the United States are now permitted. The United States department of agriculture, in order to prevent the introduction of this and other diseases from abroad, has been exercising a very watchful supervision over all importations of live cattle from foreign countries. On June 25, 1912, as the result of a cabbage advising the department of disease in Cumberland, England, and later cabbage advising of the detection of foot-and-mouth disease in the Liverpool market and among Irish cattle from Swords, Dublin, and later reports during June, July and December, 1912, as to the presence of this disease, the department discontinued the issuance of permits and concealed outstanding permits, and continued to refuse such issuance throughout the year 1912. On January 19, 1913, the department discontinued the Channel Islands, where there had been no case of foot-and-mouth disease, with transshipment at Southampton subject to the supervision of Gargantuan Drinker. In the matter of drinking capacity, "tanking up" is peculiarly fit when applauding. The animal may drink as much as twenty gallons. This fact, as a writer in the London Times happily points out, gives new meaning to Rebekah's watering of the camels of Abraham's servant. After she had "drawn water" until they had "done drinking," the servant, "was soaked in water." And "well he might," says the Times naturalist, for Rebekah's set of kind- the federal inspector, was resumed. On March 5, 1913, the issuance of permits was extended to England, Scotland and Wales, but the refusal to allow the importation of cattle from Ireland was continued. On May 9, 1913, an advance from the United States government's veterinary representative in Great Britain that he considered it safe to permit the shipment of Irish cattle, in view of the fact that the same were detained for inspection by an official of the board of agriculture and Fisheries at the English port of landing in Great Britain, the issuance of permits for Irish cattle was resumed. The importation of Irish cattle, therefore, is permitted, provided they are shipped by way of an English port. CERTIFIED MILK. The first bulletin in the new departmental series of the United States department of agriculture is a contribution from the bureau of animal industry entitled "Medical Milk Commissions and Certified Milk." This is a revision of a previous bulletin on the same subject. The organization and objects of the first milk commission are described and the origin and meaning of "ceramic milk" are forth. The word "certified" has been registered in the United States patent office and may only be used by a duly organized medical milk commission. The first milk commission was organized in 1893. Since that time over 60 commissions have been established, but nearly one-third of that number are inactive at present. About 150 dairies are engaged in producing certified milk and the daily production is nearly 25,000 gallons an increase of 300 per cent. In five remarkable increase, it should be remembered that only one-half of one per cent of the total milk supply of the country is certified. While the chief demand for certified milk is for infants and sick people, it further serves to teach the public the value of careful methods in milk production and the extra cost of absolutely clean milk. It also describes the equipment and methods necessary for the production of certified milk. It is pointed out that expensive equipment is not a necessity so much as a careful and unremitting attention to details. In 1907 the American Association of American Milk Commissions was organized. The methods standards provided by the association distribution of certified milk adopted by this association at its 1912 meeting are given in the appendix to the bulletin. ALASKA EXPERIMENT STATION The U. S. department of agriculture has recently issued the annual report of Alaska agricultural experiment stations for 1912. In the minds of many, Alaska means a land of snow and ice with only the scantiest vegetation; to such a resilient of the report named above will be found worth white and yellow. The pictures showing fruits grown in Alaska. These pictures are reproduced from photographs art clearly show that Alaska is by no means a bleak and barren land. The Alaskan farmer is more dependent upon the sunshine than the farmer in the states; indeed the success or failure of his crops is determined to a large degree by the abundance or lack of sunshine during the growing season. The work of the Alaskan farmer is largely accomplished with efforts to adapt crops to the peculiar climatic conditions. A feature of especial interest in this report is the account of the results of the eruption of Mount Katalam. It will be remembered that from June 6 to June 8, 1912, there was a fall of volcanic ash from Katalam volcano. This volcano is about 90 miles west of Kodikai where a station is maintained for experiments in live stock breeding. As a result of the eruption the station herd had to be brought to Toppenish, Wash., to pass the winter, since it was found more economical to bring the cattle to a footpath than to take a cattle to the cattle. While the first effects of the volcanic eruption were disastrous, the report states that it will eventually prove a blessing in disguise, since the sahes have made cultivation of the land much easier. State Forests In Hawaii Four new state forests have recently been added to those in Hawaii, making 27 in all, with an aggregate of 6831.100 acres. Of this amount, 67 per cent are private land administered by being private land administered by the territorial forest officers. Chance in Scotland The U. S. consul at Aberdeen, Scotland, thinks that American manufacturers may have a chance to compete in furnishing snare for fish barbers. The price of snare and its riffle is the price of spruce and its riffle from Sweden and Scotland.

Two Hearts That Beat as One. Dibbs-Going to marry! Why, I thought you intended to remain single. Dibbs-Well, I did, but I met a young woman who had decided to remain single also, and finding such harmony of disposition in each other, we determined to get married. BEAUTIFUL PRINGESS PATRICIA IS ENGAGED DUCHESS OF MANCHESTER HAS TIGHT PURSE DUCHESS OF MANCHESTER HAS TIGHT PURSE STRANGER TO CAPITAL CITY SOCIAL LIFE STRANGER TO CAPITAL CITY SOCIAL LIFE GEORGE W. GUTHRIE. AMBASSADOR TO JAPAN is engaged. At the Londoners are saying. They have said it before, many times. But this time "they say" it is so. And the good reason to believe that they are right. It is quiet probable that an official announcement will soon be made of the bethralth, this being the real one. Be real ones. The wedding will probably take place the early part of next year. P Prince Adolph Friedrich, then the duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, is the lucky man. Grand Duchess Augusta of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, sister of the late Duchess of Bavaria, and concordance of her death, is said to be responsible for the royal match, for there are matchmakers in royalty as well as among ordinary non-titled folk. At present the direct line of the grand ducal family of Mecklenburg-Strelitz is in danger of dying out. That is one reason why Grand Duchess Augusta is so anxious for the young people to marry. If this match succeeds she has reason to be quite proud of her ability as a real matchmaker. She will be second to none. She will have succeeded where the late King Edgar was, as well as many other people of title, have failed. "Marrying Patricia" has been one of the problems of royal English society Recent news from London that the duke of Manchester was again in the in London that the was again in the hands of loan sharks, and that Papa Zimmerman had once more come to his cone is really nothing new. Never since the duke became of age, has his grace been a going concern that paid dividends. He has always been in the hands of receivers. And worse, no amortization fund is in sight to retire his outstanding liabilities, for hands or jaws sharks, and that Zimmerman had once more come to his rescue, is really nothing new. Never since the duke bea- came of age, has his grace been a going concern that pale dwar- dens. He has always been in the hands of re- ceivers. An worse yet, no amortization fund is in sight to re- tire his outstanding liabilities, for unfortunately, he has reduced his ducal franchise. It was something of a shock to Mr. Zimmerman when he learned, November 18, 1901, that his daughter had eloped with the duke and been married very quietly in London. Miss Helena had been traveling abroad with her aunt as chaperon. The duke had been attentive to her for more than a year, but denials always followed rumors of an engagement. London knew very well that the duke had been adjudged a bankrupt in August preceding his wedding, and that he had been a wild and filled with unusual escapades. Mr. Zimmerman made the best of what he considered a bad bargain. There is nothing wrong with the duke's title. He is William Angus Mrs. William H. Thompson, wife of the senator from Kansas, and one of Thompson, wire of Kansas, and one of the recent arrivals at the annual event is yet an utter stranger to official life there. She is typical of the energetic, capable woman of the middle west, and so youthful in appearance, that it seems incredible that a pretty young daughter just turned eleighteen, may be among the season's buds. A stateman and his wife have just seven anniversaries. als at the capital city, is as yet, an utter stranger to official life there. She is typical of the energetic, capable woman of the middle west and so virtuosic in appearance that it seems in credible that a pretty young daughter just turned eighteen may be among the season's buds. The Katherine statesman and his wife have just celebrated the nineteenth anniversary of their marriage. It has been made plain by the Japanese people that George W. Guthle, the new American ambassador to Japan, is the most popular e n v o y that Uncle Sam has ever had in the land of the mikado. On his arrival on Aug. 2. he received w a s given him and his popularity h a s been growing every hour since. PETER H. Amba sasa d Guthrie was former mayor of Pittsburgh and on the board of Count Chinda, the or at Washington. Japanese ambassador at Washington, said that both the United States and Ladies and Cricket Ladies' cricket matches were not uncommon in the eighteenth century, and were apparently highly popular. In 1747 a game between the Maids of Charlton and the Mains of Singleton in the artillery ground, London, attracted "the greatest number of spectators ever seen in any public version of the game" and the shad was postponed owing to the breaking in of "the company" whereby "some of the players were very much frightened." In 1768, too. IOWA STATE BYSTANDER for several years. It has been a difficult problem. Princess Patricia is beautiful. She always has been. Marrying her to a suitable prince was not difficult because of her lack of charm or beauty, for she is one of the most attractive and popular of the royal family. There were suitors from far and near. But Patricia herself was the problem. She smiled on them or at them. She coquetted and flirted. She led them to believe that perhaps she really cared. But in the end, when the fatal question was asked, Princess Patricia laughed, and the answer was always "No." Princess Patricia is twenty-seven years old, old enough for even a royal princess to consider matrimony. Years ago, when they married at sixteen, they were beamed considered an old maid. Today she is an old age" for matrimony. She was born on March 17, 1886. St Patrick's day and her own name, Patricia, evolved the name "Pat," and as "Princess Pat" she is known to her dearest Friends and to the people who are most interested in her. Princess "Pats" whole name is Princess Victoria Patricia Helen Elizabeth of Connaught. She is the daughter of the Duke of Connaught, governor general of Canada, the only brother of the late King Edward. Princess "Pat." in spite of her title, was brought up simply at Bagshot. The Duchess of Connaught had her own ideas as to how a princess could be trained and educated. She brought according to those ideas, with the result that the two princesses, Margaret and Patricia, were considered the most beautiful girls in England when they were first formally presented at court. Drogo Montague, duke of Manchester, earl of Manchester, Viscount Mandeville and Baron Montague. He inherited from his father profligate tendencies and the ducal seats of Kimbolton castle, Brampton park, Huntingtonshire and Sandersergan castle, in Councilville. The estate that proprietors were hopelessly mortgaged before Manchester began his search for an heress. There was no marriage expected, but the duke confidently expected that Mr. Zimmerman would, once the duke had captured his daughter, open his heart and his safe deposit box. But Mr. Zimmerman knew more about the duke than his grace reckoned on. He had heard, doubtless, about his essexes. So, when Kylemile castle, a beautiful estate comprising 13,000 acres in County Connemara, Ireland, was bought to provide a permanent home for Manchester and his bride, it was learned that the purchase price of $15,100 had been provided by Zimmerman. The bride got eight years of himself by taking title to the estate. The duke really became a tenant of his American father-in-law. The duchess of Manchester carried the same shrewd American business sense into the management of her household affairs. She holds the purse strings and has had a constant struggle to keep the duke within reason in his expenditures. Mr. Zimmerman has never made a cattle-member in his household. He has provided handsomely from his millions of securities, consisting of railroad, industrial and mining stocks, for the two children. Mrs. Thompson pleads guilty to the full indictment of being a clubwoman, but all the organizations to which she gives allegiance are concerned with affairs of moment to the state and to the nation generally. Believing fervently in the useful woman, Mrs. Thompson long ago joined the temperance crusade and she has always earnestly, by word and deed, promoted its tenets. She is perfect logical in her position and believes that statewide prohibition is the one way to combat the alcoholic evil. She holds the other method of throwing precautions about the use of alcohol, which has not resulted in sufficient benefit to warrant continuing this way. What is of out of reach of all, the strong as well as the weak, ceases to be a temptation, and for this reason, she has thrown all her enthusiasm and personal influence against modifying the strict laws which now hold against the sale of strong drink. Japan were to be congratulated upon the appointment by which the important mission of representing the United States in Japan had been placed in hands so able and distinguished. "He is the right man in the right place," Viscourt Chinda. That the mikado holds the same opinion tend to hold of the arrival of the Imperial coach was sent to meet the American envoy and he was escorted through the streets of the city by a regiment of cavalry. Two Opinions. Mr. Crimsonbeak—This paper says that undoubtedly the longest lived animal is the whale, its span of existence being estimated at 1,000 years. Mrs. Crimsonbeak—Now I hope you see the advantage of sticking to water. "Well, who wants to live to be 1,000 years old, anyway?" at Upham, in Wilts, eleven married played eleven single women for a plum cake an a barrel of ale. The cake and ale went to those who lacked husbands—London Chronicle. A Poor Stick "I'll never go joy riding, with that Johnny again," declared the first chorus girl. "Why not?" inquired the other half of the sketches. "Why didn't smash his auto, badly as I need advertising." NOW THAT AUTUMN IS HERE Some Good Ways of Taking Advantage Some Good Ways of Taking Advantage of the Season's Fruits and Vegetables. Instead of the cool greens of summer, so refreshing and grateful during the extreme heat and dryness, in the markets we now find the late peach and pear, the pumpkin and sweet potato, the luscious tomato and all the other vegetables and fruits so abundant in autumn. Baked Beets—Take well-grown new beets and bake instead of boiling them. Take off the hard outside and you will be agreeably surprised with the sweetness of the beet. Slice into a heated vegetable, over the two tablespoonfuls of melted butter (not only), mixed with the juice of half a lemon and half a teapoonful of salt and a dash of pepper. Sugar Bebit Pudding—Here is a favorite Carolina dish: Boll the beets until just tender; peel and cut in small dices. Allow a pint of milk to a pint of beets, two or three well-beaten eggs, salt and pepper to taste and a light grating of nutmeg. Put all into an earthen or heavy baking dish that can be sent to the table, and bake until the custard is set in the middle. Serve hot, as a vegetable. Holland Cabbage—a Dutch housewife contributes this good, substantial dish: Take a small head of white cabbage; cut it in fine shreds; four tart apples, sliced and sliced; one large tablespoonful of butter or dripping butter; one large tablespoonful of pepper; half teaspoonful of popper, a sprinkling of cheese or nutmeg. Stir over a slow fire for at least three hours. Mix together one tablespoonful of vinegar, a little flour (not more than a level teaspoonful) and a tablespoonful of jelly. Just before taking from the fire add this mixture to the cabbage; let it boil up once or twice, and serve. MEASURING POTS AND PANS Knowledge of Just How Much Each Holds What You Need to Make for Economy. It seems that only in catalogues do we know or learn how large our pans are. But the housewife who really measures the quantity held by her pads and pans will be a better cook and more efficient housewife. What do you wish this pot for? Merely to warm a can of tomatoes, or to cook two quarts of spinach or potato, you should be just the right size for your purpose? Do you know how much, for instance, your yellow mixing bowls hold? Have you ever been deceived, and prepared to use a bowl for a certain purpose and find you had to take a larger one? Are you sure that your frying pan is the best depth for your special purpose? Is it nine, or ten, or eleven inches across, or you would you wouldn't need two pans, or three or five, if you could estimate just the best depth and diameter for your needs. Hindu Curried Potatoes Cut two large potatoes in cubes about an inch square, place in saucepan with one tablespoon melted butter. Season to taste with salt, cayenne pepper and one teaspoon curry powder. Stir thoroughly, then add one pint hot water. Let cook till potatoes are well done, but not mushy. Leave enough liquid to form a gravy when they are served. If you like a milk sauce an add one cup of milk in a bowl, add one-half cup of cold water and with his fingers he would blend in two tablespoons of four. Pour this over the potatoes and cook till quantity of liquid is reduced about one-half. Lamb Kidneya With Bacon Split six kidneys in halves and remove the thin outer skin. Fry six slices of bacon until crisp. Remove them from the fat and keep hot. Dip the kidneys in flour and brown quickly on both sides in the bacon fat. When brown add hot water to nearly cover, a tablespoon of tomato ketchup, a tablespoon of table sauce, and cook for five minutes, keeping them just below the boiling point. Serve on a hot platter, with the bacon as a garnish. Orange Cream Filling. Put into a cup the rind of one-half and the juice of one orange, one tablespoonful of lemon juice, and fill with hot water; strain and put on to boil; add one tablespoonful corn starch, wet with cold water and cook ten minutes, beating with scorch; beat with one egg with the other tablespoonful sugar; add to the mixture with one teaspoonful butter; cook until butter is dissolved; let cool. Clean FlatIrone I always keep my fatières clean and smooth by a very simple method, writes a contributor to the New York Times. When I finish on washday, before emptying the water out of the tub, I put the irons in for some minutes. Then take them out and scrub with a soft, dry cloth. I find that done in this way each week keeps the irons in very good order. Shrimp Wiggle. Three tablespoons of melted butter, two tablespoons of flour stirred in, 1/4 cups of milk; cook until it thickens then add two cans of shrimp and one can of pears; drain the liquid off of the shrimp; add the shrimp and then stir all together; salt to taste; serve on toasted bread. But we have ours with mashed potato. When Sprinkling Clothes If you wish to iron your clothes immediately after you sprinkle them, try dampening them with hot water. Roll them tightly for a moment or two, shake them out well and iron with a hot iron. Pretty Garnish. A pretty garnish for salads is mayonnaise jelly. Melted gelatin is added to the mayonnaise and then the dressing is allowed to harden. Cut into cubes as one would aspic jelly. Bureau Drawers. To make bureau drawers slide easily rub the parts that catch with common yellow soap. PAY IS TOO SMALL Impossible for an English Army Officer to Live on Salary. He Must Have a Private Income—It Costs So Much to Hold a Commission That Vacancies Show Alarming Increase. "The problem of the death of officers is still far from solution. What is the cause of the trouble? Can We put the army on a proper footing in this respect? I will endeavor to show that the evil is not necessary and is therefore equitable in a regimental officer in the London Mall. "In every blissiness concern the expenditures and the receipts should show a balance in favor of the latter, otherwise bankruptcy follows. But the army, were it not assisted from private sources, it would have become financially 'impossible' long ago. The commissioned ranks are supported by voluntary contributions. Unfortunately, the method by which these are subscribed has the effect of reducing them not more, but less efficient. "The problem should be understood to concern primarily, if not exclusively, the lowest commissioned rank. It is the financial situation of an officer during the first ten years of his service which renders the army an absolute bar to many young men in the profession, their profession. As matters stand, they have to obtain the right to sit on an office stool in the city or elsewhere. "An officer is paid through a recognized agency monthly. When he joins he is credited with a sum of £7 104 for the following month. The actual amount for 30 days' pay would be £17 12d, but, deducing income tax, the first figure is fairly correct. From the initial payment we must obtain a price piece by the treasury for the piece of paper called a commission, leaving £6 for the expense of joining. At the end of that and all subsequent months he will receive a mess bill, which in the more expensive regiments is not much under £10. This covers the cost of food, drinks, tobacco and subscriptions to the funds of the mess. In most regiments even a moderate drinker will find that £10 will not pay the bill; neither does the bill include the pay of a solicitor or necessary expenses. Should we put these as low as £3 the expenditure, without counting taller's and other bills, traveling, etc. therefore exceeds the receipts by about £5 108. "The regulations bristle with sumptuous laws, which if they are observed in the letter are treated with contempt in the spirit. For this there are two causes. In the first place, the ineptitude of mess authority for the work of the house or lodging keeper. The meals provided might be inexpensive, considering that fuel, kitchen utensils, and other equipment by the government, but in fact they are supplied at rarely less than £1 s a week, and more often at £2 ls or £2 8s, without counting wines, tobacco, or even afternoon tea. The second contributory cause of the high rate of living is the provision of meals which would do honor to a good London restaurant. They are provided to suit the taste of senior officers who are epicures. Moreover, the waste in most messes is very great; the mess president, who is one responsible person, has his millinery duties to perform, which take up the best part of his time, and the mess administrator is likely to be condemned for want of thrift. No one would dream of accusing the mess staff of inefficiency because a certain amount of waste was suspected. I know this will raise a protest, but I affirm from personal experience that this is generally the case. There is no caterer, conversant with his trade who could not provide wholesome and palatable fare for half the price for which it is at present furnished to the members of most messes, taking into consideration the particular circumstances and the constant members to be provided for. Missing in this regard is the fact that it should be remembered that an officer is an obligatory member of the mess, so he cannot evade the cost of his daily food. "Another item of expense is mess subscriptions. According to the letter of the law, these should not exceed ten shillings a month under ordinary circumstances and 15 shillings in exceptional cases. Actually this represents only a fraction of the concession funds a month and other funds to be kept up, to which the young subaltern is not asked, but is told to subscribe. The mess, considered as a club, is as costly as the collective membership of two or three of the best London institutions of that description, yet there is no rent to pay for mess quarters and cost is high. We say we want gentlemen to officer the army; what we get is the brainless son of the wealthy parvenu. This is not an aristocracy, but a military plutocracy. "It has been said that the officer, like the other members of professions, should be prepared to live at his own expense during the first years of his career. This is good as a theory, but in practice it should be remembered that the inducements of wealth and greater ease that obtain in the army oblige us to hold out the bait of a living wage from the start."

In the Tropics or Arctic Temperature Is Governed by Evaporation-How Discomforts of Summer or Winter Are Overcome. It is well to know what raises and what lowers the bodily temperature. In summer we all want to keep a cool as possible, and we should know what will tend not merely to make us feel cool but really to be cool. Except in sickness, when the temperature of the body is increased by many degrees and is called fever, we are never so hot as at the moment of the newborn baby, the temperature of the newborn baby is higher than that of its mother, rising more than 15 degrees. Fahrenheit, but dng the first day it goes down rapidly as far as it can and then rises again to a little more than the normal temperature of the adult. With this exception age does not change the temperature, which is in the normal man 88.6 on the average. The temperature varies as much as two degrees in the 24 hour. The minimum is 97.5, and is reached at about 4 a.m., while the maximum 99.5, is attained at 4 in the afternoon. It is notable that fasting or sleep does not alter these temperatures; those persons, however, work at night and rest by day reverence of the variations in temperature, who work at night have the highest temperature at 4 a.m. and the minimum toward evening. In tropical countries the average normal temperature is 100.4, slightly higher than in the temperate zones. In the arctic the normal temperature is lower. Norwegians, who live in a cold climate, have an average temperature of 97.4. These variations are certainly due to the difference in the temperature of the air and not, as some have thought, to differences of race. Norwegians attain the same temperature as natives when they live in the tropics. Muscular labor has considerable effect upon the temperature and may raise it as much as two degrees. One scientist observed that with normal exercise the temperature went up from 97.7 to 100. In certain exceptional cases the temperature even more. A runner has been found to mark a hard a hard race. In another case, a muscular laborer. Welss shows that a man sitting down to study hard with a temperature of 97 raises it one degree to 98 by 40 minutes of brain work. The maintenance of the temperature about a certain standard in the warm blood animals, notwithstanding the variations of external temperature, proves the existence of some animals that are resistant to the animal lights against the tendency to increase or diminish his own heat. The resistance of warm blood animals against cold is considerable. In polar regions these animals bearn, seals, musk oxen, dogs, etc. withstand temperatures of 30 degrees below zero habitually, and Nansen reports that he felt no great inconvenience when the temperature was less than 20 degrees. The body uses two means of fighting cold: Diminishing the loss of heat by radiation and increasing internal combustion. Diminution of radiation is brought about by the fur of the animals and by man's clothing. Besides, there is a constriction of the blood vessels or a diminution of the irrigation of the skin, which brings about a cooling of the skin, as a consequence deceived radiation. Increase of combustion is brought about by increase of muscular activity, which, as we say, "keeps us warm," and by the eating of fats and other foods of high carbon content. In summer or in tropical climates we have to fight increase of temperature which would arise from the vasion of the heat without or from overcombustion within the organism overcomes heat by increasing radiation and evaporation. The dilution of the blood causes the blood to become the surface of the body, and if the temperature without be not higher than that of the blood the loss by radiation is increased. But it is especially by loss of water that the warm blooded animals present the rise of temperature of the body. The cold produced by evaporation is great, for the loss of one gram of water takes up about 580 calories. If, for instance a man evaporates a quart of water (by respiration and evaporation through the lungs) in 24 hours the loses 580 large calories—4, a enough heat to lower the temperature of 115 pounds of water. This demonstrates the enormous value of evaporation through skin and lungs and the necessity for keeping these organs in prime condition, especially during the warm weather. we are to bear it in comfort. It is obviously, then, a crime against the body to overclothe it! Exaggerated Ego.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The failure of the negro public schools to accomplish their mission is evident in the examination of applicants for admission to Prairie View—unusual applicants. For example, the writer asked an applicant what a noun was. He could not answer and yet he had "dismissed" the sixth grade in a certain negro public school. There are many such cases, enough to refute the claim that the schools in Texas. Texas spends more for negro education than any state in the Union and pays its negro teachers the best salaries. But there is a crying need of better teaching. The trouble is not so much the ignorance of the negro teacher and their indifference to the acquiring of good method in the schoolroom, and above all the lack of industry and application on the part of both teachers and pupils. The county superintendents naturally visit the white schools most. Yet the negro school needs supervision the most. Perhaps the county superintendent could appoint a 'a' teacher, who would not trade or under-estimate her fellow teachers, who would aid in reforming the negro schools. The writer believes that if there were a more general interest taken in the negro schools by the school authorities and the white leaders, ministers, merchants and lawyers and doctors, there would be better negro schools. But too often no one ever entered a negro school except the pupils and their teachers. No one seems interested and the teacher is left unto her own devices and her chief occupation gets to be, in some instances, the more "marketing time" and drawing her monthly modicum. Public servants need to be held to a strict personal accountability. Swiss national exposition will be held in Berne in 1914. "Uncle Irving" is dead at the age of 104, relates the Cincinnati Enquirer. The industrious elx-slave, whose picturesque figure was familiar to patrons of the Sixth street market, where he was employed, celebrated his one hundred and fourth birthday last Monday by taking a holiday, and on Friday he breathed his last. His funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon in the Calvary Baptist church. The aged dark was of that vanishing school, the ante-bellum negro, whose naive winnerness and wholesome simplicity endures him to all, especially non-naive. He lives right with Irving. "This was Uncle Irving's" invariable reply when asked for his creed and formula for his long life and contentment. He had clear memories of the days when the eighteenth century was young. Born in Warsaw, Ky., in 1808, he lived in slavery until his fiftieth year, when freed by President Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. The half century of slavery was a span of pleasant years for him, he often said. He always spoke gratefully of his first master, Thomas Brown of Warsaw, who bought him when he was five years old for $500. He would also speak proudly of $1,600 on the block. Boy years "Uncle" Irving Brown had been a zealous member of the Baptist church. He often represented his church at conferences and meetings in other cities. Three times he was chosen a delegate to Yellow Springs. He was a trustee of the church until the day of his death. St. Martin's college, a Protestant Episcopal school for colored boys, which has been occupying a building at 173 Catharine street, Philadelphia, is endeavoring to find a location in the country where it may reopen a farm school. Several desirable farms within in easy access, of the city have been investigated by prominent churchmen and laymen of the city. Because of insufficient funds to finance this proposition, however, no specific negotiations toward the proposed change have as yet been completed. An attempt has been made to interest the wealthy lady in the city in order to secure the financial and financial support for the new movement. Active solicitation and advertisement of the scheme have not been resorted to, for it is believed that when a suitable situation has been chosen the necessary funds will be forthcoming. Recently a wealthy layman of Glen Loch has intimated that he might be able to provide the requisite means and farm to establish the enterprise in lower Chester county. Other possible sites are withheld, pending the negotiations for the property near Glen Loch.

Washington, president of the National Negro Business league, delivered the principal address at Philadelphia. He spoke in part as follows: "This, the fourteenth meeting of the National Negro Business league, marks also the fifteenth anniversary of our freedom as a race. It is, then, both timely and fitting that this great gathering of the republic of our race should be held in Philadelphia. We are most appropriate that this meeting should take place after 50 years of freedom in this city, where 137 years ago that immortal document, the Declaration of Independence, was issued. Whether the American negro was meant at that time to be included within the scope and meaning of the words of the Declaration of Independence has been a debatable question. However that may be decided, we mean as a race through this and similar organizations to make ourselves such a potent agent of the American citizenship that one will dare question our right to be included in any declaration that relates to any portion of the body politic. "During the 50 years of our freedom we have been subjected to some pretty severe tests. First, there were not a few who raised the question as to whether or not the American negro could survive in a state of freedom. We answer that question by showing that when freedom came to us we were 4,000,000 in number; now we grew over 10,000,000 free American citizens." _____ An electrical meter has been in constant service in New York for 17 years and is still accurate. the march of the Tenth cavalry, a negro regiment, from Ft. Ethan Allen, Vt., to the camp of instruction near Winchester, Va., has not attracted much attention, but it was a fine performance. The distance traversed was 705.90 miles and the route was through five states and over several mountain ranges. The start was made on June 16, and Winchester was reached on July 19. Four days the regiment rested, and the average days' ride was 23.53 miles. The weather was generally hot, the maximum temperature being about 100 degrees on several days. The weather came by heat, were sheet, and eight were left on pasture for their own good. The ages of the horses ranged from five years to twenty-three—it pears the veteran survived. One hundred and thirty-eight pack mules shared the march, and all trotted into the instruction camp in good condition. No hospital returns have been published, but the troopers doubtless did better than the horses. Negro soldiers are hardy and merry on the march, making light of the hardship and discomfort. The Tenth is a crack regiment, as every one of its white officers will testify, and it had been stationed for a long time in a suburb in New York Sun, there are white regiments in the army that could have ridden from Vermont to Virginia in quicker time than the Tenth, but none could have finished the march in better temper and under better discipline.

Highly Flavored But Tasty Are All These Recipes—Delicious Chili Sauce—Turkey Dressing Our Southern Neighbors Like. Chile Sauce—Take a half peck of ripe tomatoes, three green peppers, three large onions, five cups of brown sugar, one teaspoon each of ground allspice, cloves and cinnamon. Chop the onions and peppers together, put in a bowl and half a cup of vinegar and boil for an hour and a half; salt to taste. Bottle. Red Chile Sauce (Chile Colorado)—Take six large ripe tomatoes, three tablespoons of brown sugar, one spoon each of ground ginger and chinamon; half a spoon of ground cloves; one cup of vinegar; a half spoon of ground mustard; one pod of dry red pepper; two large white onions, a bit of garlic; one teaspoon of salt. Bottle and it will be indefinitely. Chicken With Almond Sauce—Boll a chicken, either whole or cut, in pieces; an onion, a carrot, a bit of garlic, a piece of ham, some thyme, sweet marjoram and a half cup of vinegar, the chicken when cooked to be served with the following sauce: Grind four cloves of garlic, some thyme, sweet marjoram and a clove of garlic well mashed, then dissolve a little flour in some of the stock and stir, to prevent browning too much.

Chop two hard boiled eggs, fine chopped, put in chicken and boll. Chop the chicken in a dish in said that was the one skimmish dish to which the Aztecs took kindly Turkey Dressing—Until within the last few years, after the introduction of the American cooking stone, Mexicans rarely baked fowls, as they prefer their fowls and meat boiled. The following recipe for cooking and dressing turkeys is followed by the housekeepers on all the haciendas (plantations) and not a few city cooks. It is a variation from the baked turkey of the United States. Clean the turkey or fowl, spread with hard and pepper, put on in a large pot and boil. When nearly done take out and stuff with this mixture. The next five applies that have been boiled and mashed through a coilander, four ounces of ham cut into small bits, pepper and salt. Fry this all together until done, stuff the turkey, put back in pot and boil, until done. Remove from pot; have ready a large, deep vessel in which there is boiling乳. Put in the turkey, and turn frequently so that it may be browned on all sides. Stuffed Beets. Boll new beets of even size until tender. Set aside for several hours, or over night, covered with vinegar. When ready to serve rub off the skin, scoop out the center of each to form a cup and arrange the cups on lettuce leaves. For each five cups chop fine a cucumber. Make a French dressing of two tablespoons of oil, a teaspoon of vinegar (scant), one-fourth of a teapoonful each of paprika and salt. Shrt the dressing into a bowl and pour into the mixture. Take the beet removed to form cups, cut slices, forming stars or any shape, and decorate the top of each cup. Chopped radish, cress, olives or celery are all excellent for a filling. Date Bisseults. Mix and fift two cups of pastry flour, four tsp teaspoon baking powder, and one-half teaspoon salt. Work in two tablespoons butter, then add gradually three-fourth cup of milk. Toss on floured board, roll to one-third inch thickness and shape with small, round cutter, first dipped in flour. On half the pieces place a date from which the stone has been removed. Place in a bowl and cover, cover with remaining pieces, press edges firmly together, place in buttered pan and bake in a hot oven from 12 to 15 minutes. Escalloped Oysters. This amount is for two. Use one pint of oysters. Roll into fine crumbs a dozen and a half of crackers. Take a quart (enamelled or crockery) dish butter it well, then put in a layer of the cracker crumbs to cover the bottom, then cover with a layer of oysters and bits of butter and a little cream. Place the oysters and alternately until oysters are used, having last layer of oysters. Then pour over the top the oyster liquor and a cup of milk with an egg beaten up in it. Put in oven and bake about three-quarters of an hour. Delicious. Paraley Jelly. This is a very economical jelly and delicous. Take any quantity of parsley, cover with water and boll about half an hour. Then run through the jelly bag, measure and allow one cup of sugar to one cup of juice, add two or three rose geranium leaves, which give a fine flavor. Now boll all together until it becomes as thick as honey. Lemon Blecult. One cup lard, three cups white sugar, one pint sweet milk, two eggs, pinch of salt, five cents' worth of carbonate of ammonia, five cents' worth of oil, mix well enough to handle easily, roll one-fourth inch thick. Pick with fork and have oven hot. Get the ammonia and lemon at the druggist's. Jam Roll. Two eggs, their weight in flour and butter and not quite in powdered sugar, two teaspoons of baking powder. Rub butter, mix ingredients, and mix into egg mixture on buttered paper, then spread jam and roll. When Beating Eggs. When beating the whites of eggs always add a pinch of cream of tartar when they are about half beaten. When they are just beaten keep the eggs from falling before being used. IOWA STATE BYSTANDER SPORTS FOOTBALL Football is going to be introduced into Iowa prison. University of Texas has a player named Slaughter. Chicago expects Stagg's team to win the conference title this year. Snow, Liewellyn and Whitney form a sturdy trio in the Dartmouth back field. Brown has only five veterans, Captain Henry, Bean, Mitchell, Casey and Andrews. Walter Eckersall says the new rules are better than any others in the history of football. Germaine, a former Carlisle star, has been engaged to coach the line candidates at Villanova. Eddie Vanderboom, former Wisconsin halfback, is assisting Head Coach Juneau with his alma mater this year. Penn's strength this year is said to be in the line instead of the back field, as has been the case the last few years. John McGovern of Minnesota, former All-American quarterback, has signed to coach McAleyer college in St. Paul. Boland, whose name appears from time to time in reports of the Princeton practice, is the former Mercersburg and Lafayette star. Jack Bennett, Penn's best end in the early '80s, says that the present Quaker squad looks better to him than in any recent years. Barrett, who is starring at Cornell, is a brother of the Barrett who played on Penn State several years ago. The brothers hall from Cleveland.

Coach Warner of Carlisle is tutoring three men—Captain Welch, Guyon and Crane—in the fine art of goal kicking with the hope of finding a successor to Jim Thorpe. Hoar, who pitched for the Atlantic City Tri-State League club this season, is playing on the Gettysburg College eleven. Is that professionalism or not? Looks like another Jim Thorpe. Hopper, Glass and Platt are expected by Buckness enthusiasts to prove real stars. Buckness also lays claim to one of the biggest men in the east, William 225 pounder, who played tackle on last year's Buckness Academy team. MISCELLANEOUS Alva Richards, the American who won the high jump championship at the Olympic games has entered the Cornell agricultural college. It is probable that Dr. E. Lasker, world's chess champion, and A. K. Rubinstein, Russian champion, will be soon matched to play for the title, as they recently posted forfeits. In the London Athletic club sports at Stamford Bridge the Polytechnic team of eight men beat the London Athletic club team in the mile relay race in the record time of 2 minutes 59 seconds. G. W.

Bert Lewis of Auburn, Ill., carried off all the honors in the three-day trap shooting tournament at Long Beach. Against a stiff wind he broke 91 out of 100 targets, winning the Metropolitan handicap. Bam' Gordon, star oarsman of the Vesper Boat club of this city, matriculated in the freshman class at the University of Pennsylvania and will be a candidate for the freshmen crew next spring. In 1911 he was the national singles sculling champion. Jean Boutin, the wonderful French distance runner, who holds the world's record for an hour, has an original method of training for a runner. It includes physical culture, fencing, swimming and wrestling. Barney Oldfield received credit for a world's record he made last April at Bakersfield, Cal., where he drove a car one mile on a circular dirt track in the 1912 Olympic boots thrown out by the contest, board of the American Automobile association, but the decision was reversed. PETER Besides leading his team Captain Storer of Harvard will add much strength to the Crimson colors by his ability as a lineman in their struggles with the former university colleges for the coveted championship. BASEBALL Joe Tinker will be re-engaged to manage the Cincinnati Reds in 1914. If the Athletics' infield is worth $100,000, wonder what the outfield, composed of Cobb, Jackson and Speaker, would be worth? Dode Cress, famous as a home-run clouter three years ago when he was with the Browns, has been caught in the draft by the Yankees. Manager Huggins of the Cardinals tried very much to land Billy Purrel of Montreal and King Cole of Columbus, but lost out in the draft. Second Baseman Curry of the Holyoke team in the Eastern association was fined $200 for spiking a player by a judge in the superior court. Rob Murphy, a Washington semi-pro player who has been signed by Manager Calhoun of the Box, will be given a trial next spring on the training trip. Doctor Roller of Chicago lost a handicap wrestling match to Floyd Domer at Clinton, la. falling to throw Domer twice in forty-five minutes. Roller secured one fall in .35. --- Sir Thomas Lipton has invited Edward Keep, banker, yachtman and present owner of the Seawanhaka, the fastest cabin sloop afloat, to sail on his challenger in the proposed cup race.

Yamada, despite his staggering defeat by Hoppe last season, in which the Ja pan scored but 33 to the champion's 500, has by no means given up an ambition to wrest Hoppe's 18.2 title from him. He will challenge again. PUGILISM Jack ("Twin") Sullivan of Boston outpointed Tom McMahon in a ten-round bout at Erie, Pa. Young Jack O'Brien shaded Tommy Howell, the tough eastern wester, in a six-round battle at Philadelphia. Matt Wells, the English light weight pugilist, was given the verdict on points over Owen Moran, another British pugilist, in a 20-round contest. HORSE RACING Blondella, dam of the world's champion trotter Uhlan, is dead at the Castleton stock farm. Blondella was the property of David M. Lock, a millionaire horse breeder of New York. Uhlan goes right along amusing trotting records. The latest to fall before his sterling assault was the Illinois record for the mile smashed at Galensburg. Bit of Romance of the Kind That Does Something to Sweet- en Life. by JANET REESE. Max 7 times he had proposed, and just as many times she had refused him; but they remained good friends. it was just after one of the offers and refusals that, half jettily, half seriously, they agreed to meet in a favorite, select roof garden ten years later. The other had reaped, and the girl declared that they must put the finishing touch to a romantic situation by wearing red rose, and the youth laughingly assented. Even though he married, he was to keep the appointment. It would be but a meeting of one old friend with another, the girl said. She, of course, was not with her glorious career to follow. Five of the ten years passed with their freight of events. The girl and youth were now man and woman, and had married—each other. Fame had come to the woman—mistry to the man. The woman had found it necessary to dispense with the man or woman, and was the man who had been told to go. Five more years, alternately slipping and dragging away, brought the sight of the engagement, made ten years before. The man had not heard of the woman for a long time—the last he had heard was that she was in the continent. She had written some books—he had heard of them, but had not read them. They had been the cause of his desolation. With a low, mirtthless laugh at his own foolishness, the man took the elevator to the roof garden—a red rose nestling in his buttonhole. The garden had looked little, and odd, chocking sensation, heought and found the little corner which she had liked best, a corner screened by drooping palms, so that two could be alone with the stars and He came with no thought that the woman would he there. No doubt she had forgotten the romantic agreement of ten years ago, but it pleased his fancy to keep the appointment, even though she would not know. Besides, by closing his eye he could almost see her face in the table of his imagination appeases the hunger of loneliness for awhile. He even ordered the dishes she liked best, remembering with a reminiscent smile her fondness for glaces. For what seemed a long time he sat there. The dinner grew cold, and the waited cleared it and a large tip away, with a curious look at the generous patron. The man's cigar went out and the woman's eyes danced on him, dappled on the table. With a sigh he rested his arms upon the bacont rail and dropped his head upon them. At the far end of the garden an orchestra was playing the Rosary, and perhaps it was its heart-rending cadences which made him dream of the girl as she had loved him. So alwayingly near did she seem that he reached out his arms toward her, but he seemed to smile nicely at his vain attempts. As he wearily dropped his arms the fragrance of roses seemed stifling him, so that he could hardly breathe. Yes, he knew now, it was the red roses she was wearing in the dream, for she had come nearer and was bending over him. In a maze, he saw in the dark depths of her eyes a word of love and longing. After all, it was only a dream, he told himself bitterly, and surely the gods were cruel to torture him so Strange, when he looked again she was still laughing. He crushed her in his arms he would find but thin air as one does in dreams. Yet -ah, it was true! As he held her close he felt the beating of her heart, the clinging sweetness of her lips. Only the waiter saw, and he merely smiled, for many strange things hap pen in a roof garden.—Buffalo Express. Newshox Repartee He who persists in wearing a straw hat in these parous days for straw hats should never indulge in repaired in the street. A newboy thrust his papers persistently under the nose of one of these straw-hatted young men, and the young man was finally moved to say in an impatient tone: "For the love of Mike, no, no. Get that, son," The newboy enquired for a wooel and then remarked in a loud ooze: "Sure I get it, cull; excuse me not see the straw roof. You're savin' your penniles up for a derby for Christmas.

Suggestion Made That, as Different Motives Actuate Those Who Go Wrong, Punishment Should Be Graded Accordingly. Shakespeare, in "As You Like It," enumerated the seven degrees of a life, and now the international congress has made a similar classification of crimes, dividing them into seven distinct groups. As Shakespeare makes his character, Touchstone, say, the degree of a lie are: The retort courteous, the quip modest, the reply churlish, the reproof vallant, the countercheck quarrelsome, the lie with circumstance, and the lie direct. Criminals fall into the following groups: Criminals of mood, criminals of emotion, criminals of opportunity, criminals of habit, criminals by profession, feeble-minded criminals and the criminal insane. The criminal of mood or of occasion is the "good man gone wrong," such as the bank teller who borrows a little money for a private need, and, being unable to pay it back, goes from small theft to bigger theft in the end. The criminal of books is the criminal of emotion is seen in the man who shoots his wife's lover or commits an assault in anger. The criminal of opportunity is he who has a twisted mental attitude, which, however, he controls until the appearance of what seems to be an easy opportunity, into which trap he readily faces. The criminal of habit is usually a product of slow growth, frequently having been associated with criminal classes in his childhood. To him crime conveys no special shame. The criminal by profession is characteristically the man who thinks he has perceived that a living can be more easily obtained by crime than by theft. His is rarely guilty of an emotional crime. The feeble-minded criminal is especially a product of a civilization now moving so rapidly that he cannot keep up with it and takes refuge in a vague resentment against society. The insane criminal class embraces all those in which the mind centers are seriously disturbed. It is suggested, and with much authority, that each of these classes works from entirely different motives, and as the result of different characters, their punishments should not be on the same plane. Thus it does no good to imprison an emotional criminal, for he would not commit a crime again unless his emotions were stirred. Equality it is of no use to set free the habitual criminal by giving him a short sentence, for he cannot do other than continue what is his life habit. Doctor Weygand urges that the criminal given no further powers than to pass a prison sentence of indeterminate term, leaving the question of freedom to be determined by the prison physician, much in the same manner as release from a lunatic asylum is arranged. If We Had No Law? A contributor to the American Magazine writes in "The Interpreter's House" in part as follows: I am right, I think, in affirming that you would live precisely the same life you are living now if there had never been such a thing as a statute existing anywhere in the world. You have no more personal effect on the statutes, guide your impulses than if you were living in the moon. If they were all wiped off the books tonight you would go on living just as good a life without them as you did with them. Does the law ever consciously influence you, or do you ever even think of it in a personal way, from one end to another? For the law is practically nonexistent. So it is for me, and so it is for Smith, Jones, Brown and everybody we are acquainted with all over the United States. Wilderness Pets Owls make very amusing pets, but lose the "happy family" knack as they grow older. A friend of mine had one that he wrongly kept tied to a stake by a cord. It was of "tiger of the north woods" species, the great horned owl, and while apparently quiet, blinking with those great yellow eyes in the dark, he has made the very people believe they are sightless in bright light, he had a surprising way of "coming to life" whenever there was any particular reason for doing so. My friend had a favorite kitten that usually gave the owl a wide berth, but one day it strayed within the danger zone. The result was that the apparently calm owl now feathery, suddenly galvanised into a sudden claw shot out, a piteous meow was heard, and then—fails felis domesticae—"Outing." Sensible View. "Marriage should be regarded sensibly," said a certain bishop at a wedding breakfast in Duluth. "Marriage," the bishop continued, "is no ecstatic love of love.

So much stress has been put upon the schdol girl and boy, and still there is more that can be said.- Cleanliness should be taught to a very high de- gree. Some of these lessons of clean- lines, the parent should not depend upon the child learning at school... For instance,.the parent before starting the children out to school every morn- ing should see that their finger nails are clean and kept, in good shape. This can easily be done by the use of a nail file. 2 The hand of a person has very much to do with the general make-up. The habit of biting -the finger nails is often developed at an, early stage, While deep »in study, unconsciously they develop this habit, which should be avoided very much: because. it causes what is. known as “hang nails,” the cuticle becomes very rag- ged, causing the fingers to become sore and unables the child to handle its pen properly. This habit of biting the fingers also often causes felons to come on. the finger. It injures the fingers, and .the mouth never being sterile, the fingers having germs on them,’ caitses infection, leaving the finger deformed at times, On arriving home from school at noon and evenings, see that the child does not rush to thé table without first washing. its hands, Germs are on their school books and they collect on their hands while handling them.
