She felt. indeed. sense of rebellion at
being deprived OF all these gayeties which
her heart so hungered for. But Aunt
Anna was strict She kept her children

her as her own child. Aunt Annals code
of morals was brief. but emphatic. y
good young person was one who stayed
in nights and went to bed at o'clock,
and where there was no inclination for
this regime it must be enforced.
At first Beatrice had had happy ex-
pectation of freedom for herself from her
aunt's rigid discipline. Jim had appeared,
and she had seen in him release A mar
ried woman was responsible to nobody
except her husband. She had intended
to marry Jim, if he wanted her. Jim
was 4 young mechanic, favored of Uncle
Mat and Aunt Anna, and favored by
Beatrice until Louis Kerr came home
from the west. where he had been on a
pleasure tour, and settled down to help
his father in the Office Somehow Jim
never seemed the same after that II

went away without speaking. She sup

her a feeling Of Importance.
She put her work basket aside, and, TAX

Jim was not good looking like Louis Kerr,
but he had a stronger chin and steader
pair of eyes. She might have liked him

that was all past now. Besides. Jim had
never taken the pains to tell her that he
cared for her in more than d friendly
way. She was too proud to covet any
mans liking.

help her.
So just as soon as jolly, round Mr..

birds gathered in the Old Orchard and

Marten sailed back and forth over the

trees. catching the insects that flew.
Drummer the Woodpecker went all
over the tree-trunkS and the big
branches with his head cooked to listen
for the sound of worms boring in the
wood under the bark. and whenever he
heard one he hammered with his stout
Dill ana made the chips fly until he had

THE EVENING STORY.
IN HER LITTLE ROOM.
Copyright. 1918. by W. werner)

The house had quieted down for the
evening. Uncle Mat had gone to the
lodge; Aunt Anna was calling on a sick
neighbor: Evangeline and Mortimer
were playing dominoes in the kitchen.
There was nothing to keep Beatrice
down stairs, so she went up to her
room-the little, low-ceilinged room
that looked into the top of the big
apple tree. There were no leaves upon
the apple tree yet. but the promise not
only of leaves but of blossoms was
there. Through the open window sweet
airs strayed. and the spring moon
smiled down upon everything.
Beatrice sat beside the bureau and
took her work basket. She took a few
stitches and then sat quietly thinking.
She was very tired. 1t had been a hard
day in the office, with Mr. Kerr impos-
sible to please. Louis. his son had
not come in at all. Beatrice had Won
dered where Louis was. The office
seemed not the same place without him.
had missed him, and yet when he was
there she did not care so much for him.
This was very strange, for all the
other girls were wild over Louis. He
was always laughing or making them
manded him for his familiarity, and
Beatrice understood by that that Louis
was not supposed to pay attention to
mere working girl. If he did he
stopped without raising the girl
Beatrice knew very well that she had
no business to think about Louis Kerr
at all. And yet she did think about him
a great deal. She was only twenty, and
it was not pleasant at Aunt Annals. She
did not, in fact, get all the comfort she
was entitled to for her s4 week. But
such as it was she had no other place
in the world. and in rude way they were
all kind to her. This was the best bed
room in the house, and it was hers. All
her girlish belongings were here 1t was
pity that the room was too cold in the
winter and too hot in the summer, and
that she was often driven out of it by its
lack of comfort. But even if it had been
the cosiest place in the world she would

Beatrice arose, too. Out in the street
the high-geared speedover throbbed in

CLEAN WOUNDS DON'T EXIST.
Chief of Belgian Field Hospital Says
He Never Saw One.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON. July 5.-Clean wounds ap-
parently do not exist, said DR.. H. S.
Souttar, late surgeon-in-chief of the
Belgian field hospital, in lecture be-
fore the Royal Society of Medicine.
Much has been written about the clean
wound left by the modern bullet, but
the doctor never met one in his ex-
perience in Flanders. and a colleague
who had treated 10000 wounds in the
present campaign confirmed this opin-
ion Every wound is infected, all
though not all the organisms produce
disease.
DIR. Souttar found it was mistaken
idea wounded man could apply his
first dressing properly. 1t required
clean hands and non-interference with
the actual wound. His instructions
were that the skin around the wound
should be disinfected with iodine. car
bolic or even soap and water, but
the wound should not be touched. Ex-
ternal appearances of wounds are often
deceptive. Back of a small puncture in
| the skin may be a cavity as large as a
fist. perhaps with piece of shell or but
let at the bottom.

of having done a good deed.

EGG SHIPMENTS
FOUND THAT TAINTED ONES
SENT EAST FOR TANNING,
SOLD TO CHEAP
BAKERIES.

Vermillion, April 23.-There will
be no letup on the part of federal
and state food officials in the en-
nection with the sale of bad eggs, ac-
cording TO State Food Commissioner
Frary, who has just returned from
Chicago, where he was called to at
tend a conference on this question.
The active cooperation between state
and national food inspectors. which
last year resulted in catching a num-
Der OF prominent shippers in the
dragnet of the law, will be continued
and vigorous measures adopted to
put an end to the traffic in eggs which
are unfit for food. Commissioner
Frary has been appointed a member
of a special committee of the Nation
al Association OF Dairy. Food and
Drug Officials TO study problems re
lated to the egg industry. and it wa
for the purpose of outlining the wor}
Of this committee and adoptinC ple
for the present season that he wa
allied to Chicago.
The conference agreed that tie fo'
lowing eggs should be excluded FRI"
shipment. Eggs partially hltche'
& e with yollSs stuck 70 the ahcn
moldy eggs. heavy blood rings, blac'-
rots, black spots and all other ePf~
of an unwholesome character. 1t was
thought necessary by the food off
,ials to thus define the eggs which
are not to be shipped in order to
overcome the practice which grew up
last year under a ruling made by the
government inspectors. This ruling
requiring eggs which were unfit for
foods to be labeled for manufactur-
ing purposes" the superstition being
that " manufacturing purposes" here
meant that the eggs were to be used
for the tanning industry. 1t deyel-
oped, however, that enoromus quail
tiles of undergrade eggs were ship
ped into Chicago and taken TO estab-
lishments where they were broken
and either frozen or dried for suhse-
quent sale TO bakers. In this way
great quantities of rotten eggs reach
ed the cheap bakeries.
