the bull, but never suspected its bel
ligerent intentions. 1t watched the
motor car curiously as 1t approached
and when it was thirty or forty feet
away the bull beloved, lowered its
head and charged. The driver put on
the brakes, but the bull and the ma
chine met with shock The bull was
sent sprawling backward. He picked
himself up with surprised air, limp

disputed right Of way The front OF

short suggestions.

Keep bag of sulphur in the bird
cage to drive away lice in hot weather.
Ice cream becomes butter If 1t is not
allowed to chill before the can IS
turned in the ice.
To preserve pineapple, allow only
three-ouarters of pound of sugar to
each pound Of pineapple.
A small broom made Of stiff wire is
convenient for use in cleaning skillets.
Such a brush Is easily kept clean.
To make a green mayonnaise for a
vegetable salad, add scalded chopped
parsley to ordinary salad dressing.
Do not put milk into cut glass
goblets. Milk clouds glass so that its
original brilliancy cannot be restored.
When mosquitoes get into the house
heat a shovel, pour teaspoonful Of
carbolic acid on it and burn. 1t kills:
or drives them out.
To clean milk vessels rinse first
with cold water, then wash with tepld
water and rinse. Soda purifies the.
sour milk pitcher.
For afternoon tea toast seems to be
better liked than almost anything else.
1t is thin and is cut in round or dia-
mond-shaped pieces.
A little white oilcloth apron can be
worn while giving children their bath.
1t is also useful while washing dishes.
Bind the edges with white tape.
To kill fieas on pet dog, If the ami
NAL Is small, place him in a small
bathtub of water and comb the hair
with fine comb. Water browns these
pests.
Cut glass looks clearest when
washed in tepid water and brushed
with dry bristle brush A crystal
polish increases the brilliancy of old
pieces.
Rancid butter is clarified for bak
Ing purposes by heating it in hot wa
ter. The butter should then be set
aside to cool. 1t rises to the top and
can be lifted off with knife. 1t
should be used at once Add a litlts
salt to the water.

That is rather bold and sweeping
proposition made by the author OF a
recent book, "Civics and Health" to
hitch what might be called free health
to our free schools. The tendency for
many years past has been to burden
the schools with all kinds Of collat-
eral issues, which some people call
fads, some Of which are highly useful
and some plainly beyond the scope of
such institutions. The danger has
seemed to be breakdown Of the pub
lie school system from attempting too
much; but the zeal Of the enthusiastic
educator has it's praiseworthy side. 1t
Is possibly better for the children that
the public and the taxpayers should
have to restrain him than that they
should have to prod him. Secretary
William H. Allen, of the bureau OF
municipal research, contends that the
physical basis Of effective citizenship
has been too much neglected, and
thinks that the health Of the country
may be brought up to a higher stand
ard by a system OF school examination
and basing promotion from grade to
grade upon tests Of physical hygiene
as well as OF scholarship. II the chill
dren are found suffering from malnu-
triton, this must be corrected in some
way. II they are tuberculoua, proper
treatment must be prescribed and en-
forced; II eyes are defective, the de-
fects must be promptly remsdied II
teeth are bad, the mouth must be made
clean and sound by adequate dentistry.
The plan would include also tho en-
forcement of proper exercise and rec
reation. Who IL to pay for this, Mr..
Allen does not say, but it is manifest
that some, II not all, of the cost would
have to be provided by taxation. The
end to be attained~is unquestionably
desirable. A sound body is as import
ant as sound mind. But the success
full working out Of the details of such
a plan would seem to be beset by
great difficulties.

What Is true of the fever of a germ
disease is false altogether in the fever
of sunstroke. In this case the fever
Is the disease. 1t is not a regiment
Of infantry, but conf1agration, and
it must be put out as quickly as pos
sible, and by all the means at ones
disposal-cold baths, ice-packs, ice
water, anything that will beat it
down.
The character of a fever is a great
assistance to diagnosis in many cases,
and this Is why a physician should
always be asked to sit in judgment
on it.

canals have been abandoned. The
main Pennsylvania Canal over the Al
leghanies was abandoned years ago.
There should be more water transpor-
tation. For all heavy freight like
coal, lumber, grain and ore water
transportation is more economical and
suitable than rail transportation. Re
lieving the railroads of their heaviest
freight, with low charges, would en-
able them tt, develop their higher-class
freight business and their passenger
facilities. 1t would do much to pro-
mote industry, as it has in Germany,
France and England. The Cape Cod
Canal should be the beginning of
protected saltwater route from New
England to the land Of cotton.
