HOPE.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT

Hope is the star that glows in life's sky; Often it shines through tears in the eye It is the kind word that soothes the sad, Making the heart or the troubled glad Hope is the voice that says, "Yes, you can," When you have failed in some cherished plan. It springs anew in lite's darkest hours, Shedding it's fragrance like sweetest flowers. Hope is the cheer that each one should bring; It is the song that each one should sing; Hope is the light that fills us with love, Reckoning to us to look above.

It's We'll to Know

If potatoes are inclined to rot, don't be in hurry to dig yours. Leave them In the ground as long as you can before digging. There will be far less waste. have seen some lots of potatoes all go to mush after they were dug; whereas, if they had been lift in the earth till cold weather came on, most of them might have been saved.
 In the large producing sections cab bages are stored in specially prepared frostproof houses. But they are often stored in cellars, barns or caves. Some growers store in pits and there is no bet ter way to keep the heads crisp and fresh. The main thing Is to keep out frost and provide for ventilation. Whatever the plan of storing, don't wait for freezing weather before harvesting.
 Keeping cabbages Select T dry place in the patch, pull up the cabbages and stand them close together, heads down. Cover the soil from five to ten inches deep, tnInly at first 50 they willnot heat. covering only enough to prevent freezing as the season advances, The burvinR beds may be made from four to six feet wide. A few cabbages for present use can be stored heads down in n barrel in the cellar but the bulk of the crop should be left outdoors. ......- @
 Storing vegetables. Onions Store in loft rather than in the cellar. In the latter they will sprout, to their injury. A few parsnips for winter use may Do lifted and stored in sand in the cellar i; but, as freezing sweetens them, 1t is best to leave many of them outdoors for later use. Potatoes Store in bins one foot or eighteen inches deep. raised somewhat from the floor. Do not bruise or they will be likely to rot. Roots in the nature of salsify and horseradish, freezing does not hurt. so the main lot may stay out where grown. but some should be dug and put in earth in the cellar for win- ter use.-Ootober Farm Journal,

W. c. T. u. NOTES.

The teachers reception held last FRI
day afternoon was we'll attended by the
teachers and friends. Professor Cochran
delivered an address on school savings
bank. The professor had the subject
well in hand and brought out many good
points. also made many good suggestions
Among them was a mothers Glib. to CO.
operate with the teachers. Such club
would be very helpful both to the teach
er and parents. Another good suggestion
was the cleaning up Of the picture shows
He thought great many Of the picture
shows were demoralizing to the young
mind. and it should be someone S business
to see that nothing but clean. pure. re-
fined and instructive pictures be put be-
fore the public. to which all heartily
agreed. Miss Seaburn gave US SOLO.
and Mrs. Cochran a delightful piano Sc
lection. Light refreshments were served
and all went home feeling they had spent
most delightful afternoon.

cleaning as absolutely as possible (steri-
lizing) all that must come in contact with
a wound. The instruments are boiled,
the dressings are steamed and the hands
of the operator and his assistants and
the skin of the patient about the wound
are scrubbed with clean soap and hot
water, etc.
Every wound or abrasion involves a
risk CT infection (blood poisoninR). While
one may not be able to cleanse his skin,
and boil rusty nail before he receives a
wound with it, he can always cleanse the
wound Immediately afterward, and With
clean fingers apply clean dressing to
the wound, and so prevent many serious
infections. Each subsequent dressing
should be made with the same care as
the first.
Cleanse the wound thoroughly with
clean soap and hot (boiled) water with
clean hands. Wash with grain alcohol
(wood alcohol is poisonous). ether. turpen-
tine or gasoline, if either be available.
Wash again with boiled hot water. Dry
gently with clean (sterile) towel and
cover with clean dressing. preferably Of
sterile gauze or absorbent cotton. which
may be had at any drug store.
Rusty nails and finger nails ''in mourn
ing" are dangerous only because Of that

Nails and Blood Poisoning

Our grandmothers used to tell US that
wounds from rusty nails were poisonous,
and that we must not pick or scratch d
sore" with the finger nails. as they toe
were poisonous to wounds.
These admonitions were based on OBJ
servation and experience, and though we
now know that neither of these old say
ings is literally true. we also know that
under ordinary conditions both rusty nails
and finger nails may poison wound
even to the extent Of producing serious or
even blood poisoning. and. what is more
we know why it is so and how to prevent
it.
About thirty years ago Lord Lister be-
gan the treatment of wounds. both acci-
dental and surgical. by what was called
the antiseptio method. His practice was
based upon the theory that poisoning lin
fection) Of wounds and Of the whole sys-
tenn through wound (blood poisonine)
was produced by organisms (bacteria)
which caused pus (suppuration) in a
wound. These conclusions were arrived
at through the study of wounds and BY
experiments on animals. and as a result
Of work along these lines by Pasteur,
Lister and others, many thousands oi
human lives have been saved and many
life saving surgical operations, previously
impossible. or extra hazardous, have be-
come safe and untold human suffering
has been prevented or relieved. This ad-
mirable object lesson teaches many i'm
portant things. not the least of which is
the debt the human family owes to the
great teachers who have worked oui
these truths for US and given them to us
without cost. 1t emphasizes also the al.
most criminal folly Of the fanatieal op-
position To scientific animal experimental
ton (vivisection) without which these re-
suits would have been impossible.
But to return to the poisonous rusty
nail and the poisonous finger nail. Thess
we now know. are not poisonous in them
selves but through that they carry to the
wound. Neither the nail nor the rus,
iron oxide) is poisonous to the wounds.
If the rusty nail be boiled and the or.
ganie matter upon it be so destroyed OF
devitalized. it might be imbedded in the
flesh for many months or even years ane
