DISEASE At SCHOOL
Chicago Health Department Tells
of Germs in Sweets.
City Bureau Issues Timely Advice 10
Children to Swap Pencils or
Marbles, But Not to Trade
Apples or Delicacies.

Chicago.-After q series of health
grams" directed to the adults of Chi
cago, the health department has
turned its attention to instructing the
school children in ways of avoiding
disease.
The weekly bulletin of the depart
ment was called "schoolgrams" and
contained much pertinent though pithy
advice for the youngsters of the city.
Don't swap candy, chewing gum or
apples" "skidoo from the boy or girl
with the sore throat" keep that pen
Gil out of your mouth"-these are
some of the bits of advice offered in
language that every schoolboy or girl
can understand.
Some of the "schoolgrams" are as
follows:
Let the first lesson below to
keep well.
You'll be brighter, learn more and
keep In better health If your teacher
will keep the windows OF the school
room open. Bad air makes sluggish
brain.
do unto others as you would have
others do unto you-meaning: Don't
carry disease germs to school and
cause sickness and perhaps death
among your playmates. II you have a
contagious disease at home keep en-
tirely away from all other children.
Stay at home If you have sore throat
"A little sore throat in one little
child may cause a big lot OF trouble
for many other children. Many little
sore threats are in reality diphtheria
Wash the drinking cup thoroughly
before putting it to your mouth. The
child which used it just before you
may have left the germs OF disease on
it. Wash the germs OF.
Keep that pencil out Of your mouth.
It may have scarlet fever, diphtheria
or typhoid fever germs on 1t.
Swapping gum, swapping apples
and swapping candy are about the
dirtiest things-and the most danger
GUS things-that a child can do. Don't
be that dirty.
Keep your hands clean. Soap is
your good friend-dirt Is your worst
enemy.
EAT very little candy-treat your
stomach well and you'll live longer.
Never buy candy or fruit at an
open stand on the street. Flies have
left all kinds of dirt on 1t and dirt
from the streets has been blown upon
it.
when you play, play out of doors
but never play in dusty places.
Don't run to school-especia1ly just
after eating. Start in time SO that
you will not have to run.
BE well and you'll be happy-even
in school,"

FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH SECRET
Lies in Way to Prevent coaguIation Of
Protoplasm Which Forms the
Basis of Our Bodies.

Charge is the secret Of youth. Har.
vey w. Wiley asserts that the body
itself changes oftener than the suits
that clothes it, and that he who
mourns over the remains of friend
drops tears on that which knew him
not a few short weeks before. Life
itself is represented In the rapid
changes of the body. When those
changes have become less rapid than
formerly it is sure sign that old
age has set In. When changes cease
altogether death comes.
A man that finds way to prevent
the coagulation Of the protoplasm
which forms the basis of our bodies
will have discovered the secret Of per
petual youth. For it Is this coagula
ton that works against the change
The liquids that were in the body
forming 70 per cent of the body, will
not circulate in this months veins
The flesh of the summer will not see
the fall of October leaves, and scarce
a bone of this years body will leave
trace for next year to witness.
The bones change less rapidly thar
the flesh, yet they are being constant
ly replaced by new material The body
constantly throws off lime which car
come from no place but the bones and
phosphorus which comes mostly from
them. 1t is as surprising to see how
rapidly this material is thrown of
as 1t Is to note how quickly a broker
bone will be replaced.
The teeth are less subject to change
than any other part of the body. A
foreign substance Is the only matter
that the system will allow to remain
unchanged within 1t. A particle lodg
ed beneath the skin as powder OF
tattoo mark is not displaced with the
growth of new flesh or skin The
new particles form gradually about
the foreign matter, replacing the Ole
ones, and the marks remain. In the
young the change is rapid and every
cell is full of life and constantly re
curing youth. AS age comes on there
is an occasional congested cell and 6

of the skin. Then in old age there Is

TRUTH IN DAHIES

to the contrary, that the daily paper

allure, and I am an immense admirer
of the clear, tncisive style adopted by
the half-penny press.
1T stimulates curiosity, and when
once you have done that in any hui
man being you have started him on
the right road. The one deadly thing
is apathy. The COW in the field has no

want. The truth is SO beautiful, so
amazingly interesting. so much more
wonderful than fiction. Therefore /
say that, quite apart from morality,
1t is policy for paper to tell the
truth. 1t is policy in much the same
way for a paper to keep itself pure,
because the mass Of the people are
essentially serious. Life hits most of
them very hard, and hard hitting does
not make a frivolous generation"

SQUIRRELS Rout Many Birds

sleep grew to be almost an unattain-
able luxury on the part OF the human
residents of the vicinity. For the last
four weeks nightly pyrotechnic bombs
were fired of in the foliage. A number
Of birds were killed, but the flock soon
got SO they would not even fly away
while the bombs were going of.
Edward Bartelow of Green Pond,
who was a visitor at one of the Mid
land avenue houses, trapped seven red
squirrels near his home and brought
them to Glen Ridge. He distributed
them over the trees, and the combat
at once began. The red squirrel robs
nests and eats both old and young
birds, and the attacks of these little
tree climbers on the sparrows could be
plainly heard by the householders.
When the squirrels were placed on the
trees the birds had to fight for their
lives or get away. The eyes were
picked out of several squirrels before
the birds gave up and moved.

The Silver Purse


It was fate that made Juliet's birth
day and that of her prospective moth
er-law come in the same week. 1t is
not expected that the course of true
love will run smooth, and, heretofore,
the love affair of Juliet had had no ur-
even places. She loved her betrothed;
he loved her, and they both loved his
mother.
Now and then a little jealousy of
Carter's mother crossed Juliet's mind.
The older woman was fascinating and
beautiful in a way that Juliet had
never been and never could be. Juliet
was pretty and fresh and pink and
white, while Carriers mother was
stately and classic.
The two women talked of the son
and lover who was in the far west,
and planned for his homecoming.
He will get here in our birthday
week." the mother said, land we will
have two cakes; a white one for you
and gold cake for me. You shall
have white candles and I'll have vel
low ones, and we will have jonquils
and lilies of the valley in the middle
Of the table,"
Their disappointment came when
Carter wrote that he could not get
back in time for the celebration. He
sent a box with his letter. In 1t was
a silver purse and set of Browning.
The two cards told that the purse
was for Mrs. Crowel1. the books for
Juliet.
Juliet eyed the silver purse wist-
fully. She had wanted one for years,
and Carter knew it. She felt a little
hurt that he should have sent her
books OF course on the fyleaf he
had written with love. from Carter. "
