KA-CHOO! KA-CHOO!
1. Take plenty of exercise—some
form of exercise that will bring the
muscles of the body into play. Tak-
ing plenty of exercise probably
sounds funny to the farmer who
plows all day, or to the housewife
who is about her domestic duties all
day. _ Neither farmers no house-
wives us3cdl of their muscles, even
though they be busy all day long.
They need other exercises; ‘•possibly
setting-up exercise would, be just
what they need, namely, bending
over and touching fingers to the
floor without bending the knees, etc.
2. Dress as the weather demands
—do not wear too many or too few
clothes—a heavy wrap if riding, or
light wrap or none at all if walk-
ing.
3. Take a cold spop^e or shower
bath in the morning/^
4. Sleep with plenty of fresh aii
in the room—mariy people have ar.
idea that they,/sleep in fresh air ii
they have a window or two open ir
the bedroom! Air fs like water ii
a great many ways,, it may back uy
in a stagnant pool, while the fresh
air passps a few feet away. If the
bed is pushed back in' the corner
away fropi the open windows, the
chances are that you are sleeping
in stagnant, stale air. Stale air is
ften just as cold or colder than
fresh air.
Food should be of the kind easily
digested and wholesome—Eat more
butter, hot cakes, molasses, and
potatoes in winter than in summer.
6. Keep away from crowds and
poorly ventilated Tooms—especially
if colds are prevalent. This depart-
ment holds to the opinion that cer-
tain people are immune to colds,
that you may be immune this year,
and not immune next year. If you
are not immune and come into close
contact with someone who has a
cold, you are almost certain to take
a cold.—F. M. Register, in The Pro-
gressive Farmer.
THE NEWSPAPER MAN IS
THANKFUL HE DOESN’T
MEET THIS KIND OFTEN
—o—
Sometimes an advertiser rushes
into the advertising department with
.a little two by four display ad and
asks that it be given prominence.
Then, before he leaves, and before
the advertising manager has time to
recover from the shock, the adver-
tiser produces a news story of half
a column and suggests that this be
run in the news columns, in view of
the fact that he is using some dis-
play advertising space.
The advertising mager, reading
through the copy finds, that the
reader is nothing but an ad, pure
and simple, and of much more value
to the advertiser than the little dis-
play ad he is offering to pay for.
But the advertiser is at a loss to
understand just why the reader can-
not be run unless paid for a regular
rates.
The advertising manager’s valu-
able time must then be used to ex-
plain just why this cannot be done
and very often the advertiser, who

BASEBALL HAS ITS USES
■o—
An item / in the London Daily
Express reports that the American
steamer Nils went ashore off Tinus;
and the naiives, instead of coming
to the rescue, massed for an attack.
As they drqw near, the Nile’s crew,
not otherwise armed, peppered them
with organes and apples thrown with
such deadly aim and with such force
that they turned tail and clambered
back on shore. The crew was after-
wards taken off by an Australian
boat which chanced to come along.

HUMAN BRAIN CANNOT
KEEP PACE
The human brain is unable to
keep the pace of modern civilization.
On January 1, 1922, there were in
state institutions for the feeble-
minded, and /epileptics, a total qf
39,596. Five years later, January 1,
1927, there'were.in the same insti-
tutions 52,043. The increases in the
intervening years were progressive,
showing a steady tendency toward
the break-down of the human mind.
WINTER SPORTS ALL THE YEAR
Vienna is converting a large dis-
used railroad station into a play-
ground where winter sports can be
enjoyed the year round. Artificial
snow will be used, the invention of
an Englishman. It will stand almost
any temperature and is said to pos-
sess all the qualities which are re-
quired of real snow in winter sport,
except that it is not cold; and it can
be washed and used again.

to human nature.—Exchange.

MEATS FROM THE ARCTIC
Since the introduction of domesti-
cated reindeer into Alaska in 1892,
the herds have doubled every three
years. It is estimated that the arctic
grasslands can support a hundred
million reindeer and five hundred
million muskox, with a total annual
meat production of fifty five billion
pounds of meat.

PRISON POPULATION
Out of every 100,000 members of
the Salvation Army in Britian two
are in prison; of the Congregation-
alists, 3; Baptists, 9; Methodists, 10;
Presbyterians, 46; Jews ,116; Angli-
cans, 118; Roman Catholics, 247.
This was the ratio in the year 1906,
published by Hugh M. Stuttfield in
his work on “Priestcraft.”
Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, is on
five different levels and has passage-
ways and chambers extending a total
of 150 miles. Numerous other caves
have been recently found in the
same district, some of them of rare
beauty and of great size. The walls
of these caves are of limestone
which has been left when the softer
earth was washed away. All of these
great caves have their underground
streams, which at length find their
way mostly into the Green River.
LAMBASTING THE SCHOLARS
' / —o—
;The Manchester Guardian thinks
that scholarship which thinks along
National lines is poor scholarship. It
says: “Nothing so terribly illustrated
the failure of civilization in 1914 as
the spectacle of scholars in both
camps and constraining truth for the
purposes of nationl glory and hon-
er.” How strange that “what passes
for historical, economic and scientific
truth within one great seat of learn-
ing should be ridic-uled in another
institution equally imposing, im-
partial and erudite, merely because
the two universities happen to be
situated in territories whose govern-
ments have taken to quarreling. Ef-
forts to nationalize truth and to en-
tail property in knowledge are for-
tunately doomed to failure.”
REGARDING PUNCTUATION
Punctuation marks have person-
ality. The period is imperative. It
says “Stop here!” The comma is a
free and easy little chap. He says
“Slow up a bit, get your breath,
and then trot along.” The colon calls
“Oh, look what’s coming — get
ready.” Quotation marks give notice
that the writer is letting someone
else do the talking for awhile. Pa-
rentheses mark the sidepaths when
we leave the main line for a de-
tour. Apostrophes flash the message,
“We’re skipping something.” The hy-
phen is a notice of partnership; sort
of a typographical wedding ring.
-o-
HOW TO TICKLE YOUR WIFE
“So you have forgotten our wed-
ding anniversary?” she said bitterly.
“How could I remember it?” he
inquired. “Time has slipped away so
fast and so happily that the wedding
seems but yesterday.”—Washington
Star.
CONCRETE ON THE FARM
Here is a simple method of test-
ing sand to find out whether it has
too much clay with it to make a
desirable concrete. Put 4 inches of
the sand into a pint preserving jar.
Fill the jar with clear water to with-
in an inch of the top. Fasten the lid.
Shake the jar thoroughly until the
whole is well mixed. Set the jar
aside and allow the contents to set-
tle. The sand will go to the bot-
tom. The clay and loam will form a
layer on top of the sand. If more
than three-eights of an inch of clay
or loam shows, the sand is not clean
enough for making concrete. Either
a new source of sand must be found
or the sand must be washed to rid
it of the surplus of clay and loam.
Farmers’ Bulletin 1279-F, obtainable
on application to the United States
Department of Agriculture, Washing-
ton, D. C., gives directions for a
simple arrangement for washing sand
and gravel, as well as other valuable
suggestions relative to plain concrete
for farm use.

Apparently the only hope that any
of these men will ever have a chance
to regain their manhood and mingle
again with their fellows lies in the
establishment of the Lord’s kingdom.
Now these men are mentally sick,
but perhaps not more so than the

CONDITIONS IN RUSSIAN
PRISONS
An investigator of Russian prisons
says, “I found conditions good so far
as human relations go, but very bad
physically. The twelve prisons I vis-
ited were crowded and unsanitary.
But the relations with the keepers
were friendly; most wardens were
former political prisoners themselves;
there is usually work for all; wages
are paid; food is fair, and coopera-
tive stores sell extras; education arid
recreation are organized by the pris-
oners themselves; and, most amazing
of all, every well-behaved prisoner
gets two weeks’ vacation with pay,
and peasants get two months to har-
vest their crops. Very few fail to
come back.”
tilation are potent agencies in pre-
venting tuberculosis in the dairy
herd—and other diseases as well.
Another element' of prevention lies
in building up vitality and resistance
to disease. Animals whose bodies are
in a vigorous active condition throw
off many infections which might
otherwise cause serious illness.
DECREASED CRIME
IN NEW YORK
Crime in New York and Brooklyn
has decreased from thirty to sixty
per cent since the Baumes law went
into effect making life imprison-
ment maridatory for fourth offend-
ers. The law sometimes works hard-
ships but its general effects seem to
be for the good of the people as a
whole.
Another thing that is remarkable
is how few colored murder defend-
ants are insane down here in the
South.

JOSH BILLINGS ON MARRIAGE
By awl means, Joe, get married,
if you have a fair show. Don’t stand
shivering on the bank, but pitch rite
in, stick your head under and shiv-
er it out. Thar ain’t any more trick
in getting married than there is in
eating peanuts. Many a mat has stood
shivering on the bank until the river
run out. Don’t expect to marry an
angel—they have all been picked up
long ago. Remember, Joe, you ain’t
a saint yourself. Do not marry for
beauty exclusively; beauty is like
ice, awfully slippery and thaws out
dreadfully easy. Don’t marry for
love, neither; love .is like a cooking
stove, good for nothing when the
fuel gives out. But let the mixture
be some beauty, becomingly dressed,
with about $250 in her pocket, a
good speller, handy and neat in her
house, plenty of good sense, tough
constitution and by laws, small feet
a light step; add to this sound teeth
and a warm heart. The mixture will
keep in any climate and will not
evaporate. Don’t marry for pedigree
unless it’s backed up by bank notes.
A family with nothing but pedigree
generally lacks sense.
During the winter, if dairy cows
are in the stable, they should be wat-
ered two or three times a day.
Drinking cups in the stable enables
the cows to drink as often as they
desire and are considered by many
farmers to be a paying investment.
It is a good practice to warm the
water for the milking herd during
the coldest weather, because it is
probably cheaper to heat the water
with good coal than for the cow to
heat it in her body on expensive
feed. This is. especially true with
higher producing cows. Heat the
water to about 15 or 20 degrees
above freezing.
-o-• ,
Our domestic animals, especially
grazing animals, soil their table—the
pasture—with the manure bearing
eggs and larvae of internal para-
sites, thus renewing infection and
spreading it to other susceptible an-
imals; and their hairy and wooly
hides make ideal playgrounds for
external parasites. Constant atten-
tion is needed in the fight to stop
the losses to the livestock industry
from these parasitic enemies.
Equal parts of myonnaise and
chili sauce mixed give an agreeable
change of flavor to a salad, especial,
ly. good with plain crisp head lettuce
or shredded cabbage.

W. Y. Morgan, editor of the i

says:
That we are educating criminals |
just as we 'are educating doctors, !
lawyers, farmers and business men. j
A boy with a crooked slant to his |
mind may graudate with honors from !
the high school info the profession i
of crime, and may| take an advanced ;
course in college. )
Education does/ not change char-;
acter and does riot offer a substi-
tute for character. The educated
crook is a more dangerous crook,
just as the educated business man is
a better business man.
We point wit/h pride to our schools
and colleges, iand boast of the re-
sults which will come in the great
spread of knowledge. We are not
doing ,a thing to improve the spirit
or the soul /of the young men and
young worsen, but merely training
them for more efficiency, which may
be used for the wrong purposq.
The Hickman boy was graduated
from a Kansas City school with hon-
ors, and the training he received
there was an aid to him in the ca-
reer of crime which he entered. In-
stead of putting all of our attention
on training the intellect and the boy,
we should put emphasis on- some
plan for the training of the heart
and sojil.
