THAT OLD oAKEN BUCKET.
War Is WaEed ON the Romantic
UtensiI and Its Companions.

War Is Waged the Romantic
UtensfI and Its Companions.
Since the germ theory got US in its
grip the romance Of "the old oaken
bucket, the moss-covered bucket" with
it's companion, the rustic gourd or old
tin dipper, has waned. AS pic
turesque decoration of the farm yard
the moss-covered bucket is very good,
but the enlightened grown-up, with
knowledge of hygiene, finds his enthu-
siasm for its use, in common with
every passer-by, decidedly disturbed,
says the New Idea Woman's Magazine.
And so it is with the tin bucket Of
the scnoolroom, with the dipper drop
ped back into it after each drinkers
thirst is quenched War is being
waged on that bucket and on the COM
mon dipper or drinking cup in all
public places. 1t is a campaign Of edu-
cation and the purpose is to prevent
disease and to minimize the slaughter
of the ignorant.
The danger that turks in the COM
mon drinking cup is silent, unseen and
frequently unsupported, and therefore
has long been ignored. But with the
public conscience awakening to the
and other diseases and its mind stirred
to the possibilities of prevention the
outcry against the public drinking cup
a source of many evils-is newt
able Within a years time-eVen in
six mopths-there has been a tremend-
Gus feeling created on the subject.
The boards Of health of three different
states-kansas, Michigan and Missis-
sippi-have passed ordinances abolish
ing public cups. The New Jersey
board has asked railway companies
whose trains pass through the state to
use Individual cups The New York
state board of health has passed a
resolution condemning public drinking
cups. Various cities have forbidden
the use of common drinking utensils
in schools and public places.
The manufacture of paraff1n paper
cups that sell for a penny has helped

hygienically for the thirst of the pub
| lie.
In many department stores and bust
ness places in the large cities and on
the trains Of several railway lines
these cups have recently been intro
duced. They come in automatic ven
ders that operate in the same way as

chimes
In a few years we will doubtless
look upon the common drinking cup
as a symbol of barbarism and when

Science is merely "organized COM

therefore, what this experience of life

Crime, DR.. BertilIon shows, is not as

bachelors; the bringing up of family
imposes "benehcent burdens" and Gre

honored name. Widowers revert to the
criminality records of wild bachelors
including "Apaches." Ch1ldless wild

they stand highest on the criminality
lists. This shows the value of WON

presence of children Ia wholesome and

of all is complete family life, with

single, are much less addicted to crime
than men, and, when they are, men

WHEN WIDOWS PREFER TO WED.
French Statistics Raise Question
Which Are Hard to Answer.

French Statistics Raise Question
Which Are Hard to Answer.
The French have been compiling
some statistics as to the ages at which
women most frequently seek husbands.
The figures as published show that
widows of 20 or younger and those of
30 or over are as ready for another
husband as the maiden for her first
one. But between the ages of 20 and
80 the desire for a successor to the
departed one appears to be lacking.
Just what is responsible for this
state Of affairs cold facts and figures
fail to show" says the Washington
Herald, commenting on this phenome-
non. 1T is not a question Of mathe-
mates, but of heart pUlsations, and as
yet no machine or instrument has
been invented which can keep account
Of Cupid and his wiles. 1t is need
less to go deeply into these figures,
but it is possible that between the
ages of 20 and 80 the widow is so
charming and so attractive that her
suitOrs are so nunerous she is I'M
able to decide which one to favor.
Then, again, it is possible that she is
content with her station, whereas pre-
vious to 20 she is SO young as to feel
the necessity for some protector; while
after the age of 80 she is eager to
wed lest she be left without life

two terms on the Board of Examiners,
under Rev. A. A. p Neel and Jesse A.
Engle. County superintendent. He
served as member of the Book Board
during its existence, and was chosen
President of said Board The duty of
this board was to examine the various
text books and to adopt those best suited
for the schools. 1t will thus be seen that
for the past twenty years he has been in
close touch with the public schools. and
therefore is admirably qualified to fill the
position which he seeks.
