Paris, May 1.-THE high price of

to three months the period in which
wheat may be imported f:ce on condi-

is exported from France by the importer
before the expiration of that period.
This win temporarily relieve the market.

National Millers' association calls at
tention to the situation in a special re-
port showing that the present stock of
wheat is only 44000,000 Kilograms zap
proximately 96,S00.000 pounds, whereas
it should be several hundred millions

good crop however, the situation will
ameliorate In the meantime bread has

What Has Marriage to Offer to a
Woman?

In an article on "The American Girl''
in the May Woman's Home Companion,
~. Nilsen Laurvik says:
"What has marriage to offer in com
pensation for the many things OF which
IL deprives her. is q question that the
young miss of to-day asks herself with
a growing skepticism. What opportuni-
ties of enjoyment does it hold that are
not open to her before marrying? And
with an increasing sophistication she
confidently answers. None weighing
with the greatest nicely the actual and
known joys of girlhood against the prob.
lematical and restricted joys of wife
hood. And not infrequently all the fuss
and feathers attending her engagement is
merely the paraphernalia OF the most de-
lightful makebelieve ever invented. in
which the girl pretends to the man that
she regards him as the noblest and hand
soonest of human beings, while secretly
in her heart she feels herself superior to
him or any other mere men! At least
that is the half-veiled attitude to-day in
certain sections of American society,
whose women members have come to
adopt definitely the view that the girl
mas nothing TO expect from marriage
that she did not already possess; that,
instead, she is confronted with certain
definite duties attendant upon the care
OF a household which, if not positively
distasteful to her, are certainly not to
be regarded as sources of actual pleasure.
1t must be admitted that she is far
ottener right than wrong in arriving at
this conclusion and who will blame hey
for refusing to allow herself to be either
cajoled or coerced into assuming rela-
tionship that offers so few opportunities
for self-development as does the average
home of to-day?'

A Help for Emergencies.

If you have no emergency drawer,
| shelf or cabinet in your home, arrange
to have one when you begin houseclean-
ing this spring. Accidents will not occur
any oftener if you are prepared to meet
them.
When looking over your supply of lin.
en-, set aside old sheets, pillow cases and
towels, table cloths, napkins, handker-
chiefs. etc. Cut off buttons and hens,
boil the linen in strong boraX water to
sterilize it, and press it. Separate the
large pieces of cotton or linen from the
smaller pieces, making two or more
piles. Have some perfectly clean bags
flour bags, etc. and into these place
your separated piles, tie them up and
mark them plainly before laying them
in the clean drawers, says April Farmers
Wife.
Flannel or outing cloth pieces from
underwear are invaluable prepared in
the same careful way, to be used for
congresses or hot lamentations.
You may like to place in the drawer
some cheese cloth for mustard plasters
and other things to meet your own spe-
cial conditions, such as absorbent cotton,
adhesive plaster, gauze, etc.
In cabinet or box that will lock,
keep few home remedies that YOU
know how to use. A suggestive list
might include castor oil, epson salts,
SIENNA leaves, essence of peppermint,
sweet spirits nitre, bottle of two gfain
qninine pills, bottle of boracic acid
for burns or sores, haxseed meal for
poultices, a jar of cosmoline and such
other remedies as one has become aceus-
toned TO using. A book giving advice on
what to do for accidents or cases OF poi
scning will be very convenient to keep
and to study.

Infantilc Paralysis in 1910 and 1911


While the number of cases of infantile
paralysis in 1911 was not nearly as large
as that in 1910, yet the collected stats
tics show that the disease was widely
distributed throughout the United States,
The number of reported cases in 1910
was 1851, with $50 deaths; in 1911,
1881 cases with 440 deaths. These fig
ures are taken from the reports of states
in which the disease was reportable and
from the printed bulletins of some other
states. The report compiled by the but
reau of the census from the registration
area shows that the number of deaths
for 1910 was ,459. The data, however.
are incomplete, and therefore the number
of cases was undoubtedly considerably
larger than these figures Indicate. The
deaths are probably more completely re-
ported than the total number of cases
These figures. however, bear out our
previous knowledge that the disease has
alternate active and more or less quies-
cent periods, owing to lack of suscepti-
BILE individuals or to the attenuation of
the infection. Both causes probably OPP
crate. The journal of the American
Medical Association urges an extension
OF the registration area to all of the
states and the securing of complete re-
ports, which would no doubt greatly in
crease the number of reported eases and
would give valuable aid in the study of
the disease.
