Uses for Old Newspapers.


How many housekeepers know the
value Of old newspapers? They are
excellent for many things.
Spread on the kitchen table they
catch crumbs and can be renewed at
every meal. Crumpled in the hand
they polish stoves and remove SUI
perfluous grease and dirt on the
stove and on cooking utensils before
they are washed.
Placed between quilts they keep the
bed warm. Put in the soles of shoes
they keep the feet warm. Placed
across the chest they keep the body
warm.
Packed around woollens they act as
a moth preventer. A firm is now
making paper quilts. These can be
made at home by using newspapers
for filling and making the outside of
the best grade of crinkled tissue pa.
per. A serviceable and pretty quilt
can be made of white tissue paper
with floral design. 1t lasts one sea-
on and fresh one can be made the
next summer.

THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Girls! Try it! Hair gets soft, fluffy and
beautifuI-Get a 25 cent bottle
of Danderine.

If you care for heavy hair that glis-
tens with beauty and is radiant with
life; has an incompatible softness and
is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
diately dissolves every particle OF
dandruff. You can not have nice
heavy, healthy hair if you have
dandruff. This destructive scurf robs
the hair of it's lustre, it's strength and
its very life, and if not overcome it
produces feverishness and itching of
the scalp; the hair roots famish,
loosen and die; then the hair falls out
fast. Surely get 25-cent bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine from any drug
store and just try it.

Gribbling.

They have coined a new word in
England, and that word is "gribbling."
The word has taken its rise from the
writings of Francis Gribble, an Eng
lish author, who spends most of his
time In writing up the love affairs of
distinguished persons, and especially
of those love affairs that were more
or less sordid, or ended unhappily
Mr.. Gribble is, indeed, an expert at
this sort of thing. He does it much
better than anybody else; much bet
ter, by far, than Richard LIE Gallienne
even did it. For one thing, Mr.. Crib
Bile has passion, or what appears to
be passion, for the truth in these
matters, and If we must have love
episodes written up, 1t is far better
that they should be written up truth
fully than that they should be writ
ten up falsely. But we cannot avoid
feeling that gribbling is a mistake
when it becomes the main passion of
mans life, as 1t is in the case OF
Francis Gribble.

BOYS LEAVE FARM FOR CITY
Strong and Rather Reliable Light
Thrown on Subject by Professor

Professor Leon H. Bailey of Cor

rather reliable light upon this much
discussed question.
He addressed a circular letter to all
students of Cornell who. he had rea-
son to believe. were born in the coun-

Among the replies received were
155 from persons bred on the farm,
and planning to leave it. These assign,
ed some 29S reasons why they were
leaving the farm, the same being
roughly classified as follows:
Question of financial reward. .1O1
Question of physical labor. rs
Question of social and intellectual

Miscellaneous handicaps ......... Al
Professor Bailey summarizes as fol-
lows:
1t Is easy to say that this finan-
c1al unsuccess is due to poor individ-
ual farming, but it is a question wheth-
er a good part Is not due to causes
that go further and deeper than this.
Farming is virtually the only great
series of occupations that is morgan

scheme Of things, and whether the

G. 3. s. Defines Socialism.

? George Bernard Shaw says: Social.
ism means equal division Of the ma

itants of the country, of the main
tenance of that equal division as an
invariable social postulate to the very
root of the constitution. The prob
lem socialism offers to politicians and
economists is how to make this pos
tulate workable
Mr.. Shaw believes that the process
of redistributing income already be-
gun by legislation. together with the
pooling tendencies of capital, will
lead to an examination of the over
