1.-THE chief cause of high infant
mortality is ignorance" says Miss
Flora Rose, professor of the depart
ment of home economics of Cornell
university. Its mothers ignorance
may sign a child's death warrant.
The cure for this must be educa-
tional. Our educational system should
consider every pupil as a potential
parent"
At Cornell students preparing to
teach are given courses on the care
of feeding of babies and hygiene,
says Miss Rose. They also learn OF
the result Of heredity to the health
of a child, the necessity OF revering
the body as the host OF the next
generation. and are taught much
concerning disease, abnormal indus
trial conditions and legislation affect
ing parents, and through them the
children.

Dear Miss Grey: am a young
woman, twenty-five years old,
and have been well educated and

who is dissipated, and In fact,
drunk nearly every day Of his
life, and my parents are SO
much opposed to him that they
will not allow him TO call to see
me at our home. In order to see
him ! am obliged to arrange TO
meet him at some other place In
the city, which I do several times
every day, as l am under such a
spell that for some reason |
yearn TO be with him all the
time. My friends claim that |
am being injured by associating
with him. What do you think?

doubt-at least under its other name
OF widebeest--one OF the animals Col
Roosevelt hunted in Africa. The
Doors called IL the wildebeest and
have pursued II relenuessly ever
since the first settlement of the white
man in South Africa, so that now II
is fast disappearing. The gnu is ma
tive throughout South Africa TO the
equator II is a powerful beast, six
feet long and four feet high. Its head
Is bearded and shaggy and you would
wonder how so large a body could be
supported by such slender legs.
And you would laugh at the big,
funny gnu, which is really a sort OF
combination buffalo, horse and ante
looe. Unlike other horned animals,
both sexes OF the gnu have horns aud

makes short work OF the jackal by
