Cost OF Prevention.

DR.. Gorgas working in the Panama
Canal Zone estimates that the judici-
Gus expenditure OF one cent per day
1896 year--for each person in a
community will produce, in series
of years. minimum death
rate, or practically the determination
OF communicable diseases. All fami-
lies in which case OF serious sick
ness has occurred should compare the
cost OF the illness with the estimated
cost Of the prevention of the disease
at the annual cost Of So. 65 per head.
From this estimate it is evident
that prevention is more economical
than sickness. Those who have paid
the penalty should take sufficient
interest in the prevention Of commun-
icable diseases to advocate the steps
necessary to put into effect in their
community preventive measures
against dieases.

diseases to Preventive Medicine,

As it is now the children learn

fore the other part has had a chance

The purpose of our public schools
should be to teach the mobile mind a
sincere appreciation Of life, to explain
clearly that every human being has
its niche to fill; to teach the elemen-
tarv principles of usefulness by which
the young mind will be able to pick
out its individual sphere, and then
qualify through course in High
school to fill that niche for which it
finds itself best fitted. Then, if any
young man or woman has the desire
and means to indulge in examining

expense. .-WM. J.. AcKERin, Word

An UpWaTd Look.

1t is refreshing in this advanced
age of scrambled literature to find
suggestions and ideas that are really
practical and devoid of the goody-

ogy, such suggestions and ideas we
find in our home department of
Word and Works.
In the February number lady
reader suggests that the Bible be
adopted as text book in our public
schools. This is sane idea and
one which every true follower of Jesus
will heartily endorse. To any one who
will give it a second thought it must
seem surprising that the study of the
greatest literary work, the Bible,
should be locked up IN churches, TO

More than 40 per cent of all the
farmers interviewed by Government
representatives believe that expert
ence is the only way to learn how to
farm. This percentage told agents
recently sent out By the Department
of Agriculture that they took no stock

Agriculture publications. as aids in
helping to make the soil more pro-
duCtive.
Starting on motor cycles or on foot,
four Department agents have travelled
through 13 States visiting every farm

tlons. This inquiry revealed the
fact that of the farmers who got

Approaching the Editor.

This is the method given by the
Mulvane News:
Advance to the inner door and
give three raps. The devil will at
tend the alarm. You will give your
name and address and the number of
years YOU owe for the paper, You
will then be admitted to the sanctum,
and will advance to center of the
room, where you will address the
editor with the following countersign
Hold the right hand about two feet
from the body with the thumb and
finger clasplng IS bill, which you
will drop into the editors hand, say
ing: "Were you waiting for me? ?"
The editor will grasp your hand and
the bill and will say, '.You bet. +"
That ends the ceremony. Anything
after that is merely incidental and
unimportant.

Attempted Suicide.

Our valued old friend, Uriah Pom
ius, of Slower. attempted suicide
last Sunday night, after his family
had gone to church. Taking 32
caliber pistol, six shooter which he
used in the army, he went to the
pasture near his home and fired four
bullets into his face and head, two of
the loads failing to discharge. The
bullets lodged, not one entering a
vital spot.
Finding his attempt at suicide a
failure, he dragged himself, covered
with blood, t. the house. and doc
tor was sent Tor. An examination
proved that the wounds, though SER
ious, were not fatal and the Leader
is glad to say that he is recovering.
He says the attempt upon his life
was deliberate and done while he was
sound in mind. Financial troubles,
he gives as a reason for the act.
Live on, friend Pontius. and never
try th,t r,ute again. Your days of
usefulness are not over, by a mighty

This is rather a peculiar circum-

Boosting for Happiness.

We are having peep into the
hearts of some of our friends this
time. How very many, right at our
own doors and maybe OF our own
household, need our encouraging
words of appreciation. 1t may be in
very small humble way they are
striving for better, more beautiful
lives. Is it not more surely our duty,
where our VISION is clear and we are
just little ahead OF them, maybe, to
encourage their efforts and strength
en- their aims. We need not be
afraid to show our interest or affect
ion. Love and its expression is to so
many OF US just as necessary as sun
shine is to flowers. If you never
show any real interest in the work
and lives of those around you. how
can they know you appreciate their
being alive? have seen families in
which husband and wife behaved as
if they were sworn to eternal silence.
If they cared one straw for each other
no one ever knew it. They never
expressed it in either word or deed.
Just to be around them made me

professor, and he shuffled out with rath-
er more alacrity than would be expected
in a quest of working materials.

leading the way. Fright through to my

My hand feels like a bunch of bana-

lowed him out.
For the first time that evening the old
clock on the mantel of the recreation
room licked In silence and solitude for a
few minutes Then door was cautious
y opened and the girl from Chicago
peered around the room and slipped in
as stealthily as d thief, closing the door
noiseleSsly behind her She listened for a
few moments. darted to a window that
commanded the entrance and looked out
into the street. Reassurcd. she darted
back To the telephone, lifted the receiver
and gave a number in a low tone
At the same time the door she had

once?-at a place called the Refuge, 10
RivingtOn street. Have you seen the
Evening Journal? Yes. It's true I can't
explain now-Tll tell you later"
AS she hung up the receiver she felt
, with a shock that some one had been lis
tening. Fearfully she turned her head
and her eyes met the reporters. Great
as the blow was, she recovered her self
possession with remarkable courage and
pretended to be busy at Miss Towne's
desk.
"Well?" said Howell, quietly walking
toward her
who are you7" she dema nded, look
ing up at him. He saw with a rush of
pity-and some other strange emotion
that she was white to the lips, and the
lips themselves were almost blue
"Your Frlend-Perhaps."

trying to look blank and puzzled.

himself, with an inexplicable feeling of
pride. What he said aloud was:

cards with a shrug of her shoulders.

"Oh. yes, you do" he contradicted.
cheerfully. There was a pause. The girl
stared at the reporter and the reporter
stared at the girl
You killed that man at the Hotel Beau

eye shot-he saw it at once.
IT'S not true!" gasped the girl, her eyes
wide with terror, as she shrang back
from him. II just came from Chicago"
"Oh, no, you didn't" he contradicted
again, in the same quiet, assured manner.
Il tell you did, she cried.
What was it you told your uncle was
true in The Journal"
II was talking about something
else"

finger tapped the headline of the paper on
the desk. you were talking about this -
The girl was sielnt, dumb with despair
why did you do it?' he asked and his
voice was kindly
The girl tried to rise. II won't talk to
you any longer" she cried, desperately
Now, waltz The tone was sharp and
quick. She sank back into the chair. He
looked all about the room and lowered his
voice
II want to be your friend, II you'll let

clared, without raising her eyes.
"No? Well" he said, good-humoredly,
my face isn't one to get matineed on,
but"-he held out that damaged hand,

memorandum of our meeting-that nice

of fear, surprise and relief

natured face and keen, honest eyes, while
waves of irresolution rippled across her
mind While she hung on the verge of
decision, Howell heard the outer door
open.
Get busy" he commanded, quickly.
The girl instantly gave an appearance of
great industry and Howell loled in a
chair at the card table as the door opened
and a massive, thick chested man in the
uniform of captain Of police stamped in.
Hello, Captain Ryan," the reporter
hailed cheerfully The girl started and
bent closer over her work Her back was
turned to the policeman.
Hello, HOWELL" returned the policeman,
in that surly, pompous, half, cynical
growl that is everywhere the hallmark
OF the policeman. What are you dom
here?"
"Oh, getting a special for our Sunday
paper and missing all the good things"
replied Howell, with easy nonchalance.
well, you missed a good thing this
afternoon" growled the policeman, look
ing down at him,
"Oh, yes" nodded Howell with half
laugh. Get any dope on that Beaumont
murder?"
mo, but / will have soon." declared the
captain, in dark tones. who's in charge
here?"
The girl looked up, but Howell made a
hasty signal and replied for her:
THAT young lady is in charge of the
buffet of information" he replied lightly.
