impossible. Not content with this, we

more on Sunday night. The railroads
and mail routes were undoubtedly bar
ricaded, as up to the present time OF

When nasty case is on trial at the

there in large numbers to hear the
nasty details. Indeed they are, as a
rule, quite well re-enfurced by older
persons in whom pruient curiosity
should be superseded by good sense
When parents learn that their boys
mission a little lecture would not be
wholly out of place.

ToDAY's HEALTHoGRAM

Cold weather is not dangerous to
those who are well clad and properly
nourished. Then why get the stay
in-the-house habit? Don't let the
snappy chill of winter keep you in
doors when you should be out in the
open every day.
1t is not by coddling ourselves in
poorly ventilated and overheated Iv-
ing-rooms that we may best prepare
ourselves for the average winter.

hope that improvements in business
will be realized. Already there are
some evidences of change for the
better"
