Puzzle of Living.

Religionists chided about their ina
bility to agree on points of faith might
point out that they differ only in Incl
dentals and not essentials, whereas
the scientists differ on everything.
Take the science of living. A week
ago you would have "died if you drank
water with your meals" Now they
say it doesn't do any harm at all. One
variety says: Eat meat, lots of it, to
build good, rich blood" Another says
meat is poison; that vegetables are
the only food A third declares meat
and vegetables both increase debility,
and that you will live twice as long
on raw fruits and nuts. Some say
"Talk with your meals, laugh; it
makes the food digest" Others insist
silence is never so golden as at the
table.

HANDS WOULD CRACK OPEN

About two months ago my hands

WOMEN'S LEAP YEAR RIGHTS
In Scotland Years Ago They Were Pee
oenized as Real, and Well De-
fined by Law.

Ancient, indeed, are the prerogatives
that are accorded to women in leap
year. They are so old that none can
tell just how or when they originated.
However, the ancient Scottish parlia-
ment gives us date as well as law
upon which to hang the right of wom-
en- to take the initiative in leap year,
as convention forbids them to do in
other years.
In the year 1928 this body passed a
law which, in it's quaint old English,
expressly conferred on womankind the
right to propose marriage in leap year
Here is the law, just as it was written
in the parliamentary records:
"Ordonit that during We reign of her
maist blessed Majestic, ilka maiden,
ladee of bath high and lowe estait,
shale haze libertie to speak We man she
likes. Gif he refuses to tax hir to bee
his wyf, he shale bee mulct in We sum
of ane hundridty pundes, or less, as
his estait may bee, except and alwais
gif he can make it appeare that he is
betrothit to another woman, then he
shale be free"

fully, although, like many another pro-
cedure, it is one in which attention to
details counts for much. 1t is i'm
portant to bear in mind that the caus-
alive agents for many diseases are ex-
tremely small, and may remain for an
indefinite time in dust, cracks, and
crevices of buildings, so that efforts
aiming at the eradication of disease
from contaminated premises must be
thorough in order to be effective.

The work of disinfection is based
upon our recognition of the presence
of disease germs, and disinfection
means the act of destroying the cause
of the infection. In other words, disin-
lection is a removal of the cause, and
it will be clear to any practical man

The decline of both wool and sheep
will more than likely cause a general
neglect of the sheep on many farms,
but if sheep is worth keeping at all
it is certainly worth caring for in
way that it will be able to produce
something of value. A neglected eve

it will be stunted and not heavy
enough to go on the market at the
proper age. The fleece Of the neglect
ed sheep will always be light and of

must not be any starving period from
one clipping until the next. The wool
is largely composed of nitrogen and

the Importance of we'll lighted stables

which admits the greatest amount of

this is not meant the ordinary heat OF

In the work of the bureau of animal
industry in dealing with infectious dis
eases of live stock it has been found
that the average stockman and farmer
does not realize the Importance of thor
oughly disinfecting his premises fol-
lowing an outbreak of contagious dis
ease. There is apparently widespread
lack of information regarding the
germicidal power of various sub
stances, commonly termed disinfect-
ants. There is also a lack of knowl-
edge concerning practical and econom-
ical methods of proceeding with the
work of disinfection. Moreover, the
temperance of contagious disease
on premises from which it was be-
lieved to have been eradicated may
frequently be traced to careless or i'm
perfect work in connection with the
cleaning and disinfecting of the place.
1t is but natural to acknowledge the
presence of only such objects as can
be seen with the unaided eye. Science,
however, by means of the high-power
