 FUNDS TO BE NOVEL
Many Pleasing Affairs Plan ned By Women Interest
 ed in Relief Work.

Among the events planned for the purpose of raising funds to purchase and equip a thoroughly modern hospf- tai ambulance for Red Cross work in the Italian-Austrian campaign are a garden fete, which will be held in the Italian garden of Jonathan Godfrey s beautiful home The Oaks,'' Brook lawn park; Ambulance day, a most in teresting and dfvertfng occasion, one sure to arouse much enthusiasm; an Equipment day when special attention will be given to the equipment of the ambulance, and several other events which have not as yet been sufficiently developed for announcement.
 The movement to provide and equip a hospital ambulance is making a strong appeal The ability to do the right thing at once for the wounded soldier, instead of making him take a long journey over rough roads in the hot sun, with infection gaining 8 frm- CT footing all the way, means the saw ing of many lives as well as the pre- vention of much suffering.
 The committees in charge are: Gen eraI committee: President, Mrs. Jon athan Godfrey; secretary, Mrs Va1ery Havard; treasurer, Mrs. Lewis B. Cur tis; Mrs. W. D. Bishop, Mrs. E. w. Harral, Mrs. s. F.

growth, during which the various rela- tions of life are unfoIded."
 Incidentally it is pointed out that there is no subject of ethics or moral education in the Indianapolis schools, but the direct moral training afforded by the course here outlined is peculiarly virile. So, also, while there is no attempt to give direct vo- cation training in the strict sense of this term, nor even any organized form of. vocational guidance, never the1ess the facts is always taken into account that the citizen must be a worker and the worker a citizen
 Instruction through the course of study is, however. only a part of the training for citizenship given in these schools. AAn understanding of com nunity life and of government de- cIares MT. Dunn, .is fruitIess without the cultivation of qualities and habits of good citizenship. Instruction and raining must go hand in hand. The latter is largely a matter of practice. 2 Pupil participation in school manage nnent is a very real thing in Indiana polls, and in some schools it Is car ried to a high degree of effective of preparing and conducting recita- tons; in the care of school prop perty; in protecting the rights of younger children; in maintaining the sanitary conditions of the building and grounds; in beautifying school grounds; in the making of repairs

How one community trains its ch1a- dren for the responsibility of citizen ship is described in 9 bulletin just is sued by the U. s. Bureau of Education on "Civic Education in Elementary Schools ass Illustrated in Indiana po1is''
 etThe practice in the Indianapolis schools says Arthur ". Dunn, au- thor of the bulletin, Ifs to help the pupil to understand the nature of his own community life, his dependence upon it, and his responsibility for it; to develop a. right attitude toward government as the means by which all members of the community may co-operate for the common, interest; and to cultivate habits of right ac- ton as a. member of the comm unity '
 The bulletin emphasizes the fact that @civics is not taught as a separate subject until the eighth grade, but that civic education is a, phase of all the work of the school. The aim seems to be to make of education, not process of instruction in varie- ty of subjects. but process of

 Dear Doctor: My daughter S22 years old is sadly afflicted with what our doctor calls "hysterfa'' or loss of nerve control. She has been growing worse for more than a year although she has been under the care Of several well informed doctors. She has hal cleo tric treatments several weeks. One doctor has been giving her a well me what to do for her as soon as you get this letter, for I wish to have her begin proper treatment at once. What can do to get her to make a mental effort at self-controi? Her mind is not gone. She remembers pretty well and helps me work some, takes walks m the open air, also physical exer- cises. Will you tell me what to do?

 overwork is often the cause of this annoying nervous disorder generally known as hysteria- Persons of any age may be afflicted, but young wo- en are the ones perhaps most ire quently affected. Overwork, anxiety, indigestion, structure of the sphincter muscles, adherent prepuce, excesses of
 
 downrigf1t nervousness, may cause hysteria. It is very necessary in each case to ascertain the cause in order to deal successfully with it. A person never becomes hystericaI while asleep, and almost invariably manages that others shall be present, an un- contro11ab1e desire for sympathy be- ing prominent symptom.
 Your daughter should be given every encouragement to go out in the fresh air, performing some simple duties. She should not be made to feel that she is sick. Firmness, how ever, must be exercised. Excitement must not be allowed During an att tack smelling salts and the admins tration of compound spirits of Iaven- der with a little vaIvarian can be rec commended Try to get her interested in my lessons on Dynamic Magnetism. which you will find described in part two of the Vol 2 If you approach the subject several times and awaken her curiosity she will be induced to take up the study and practice of the

 Drain the ponds, screen the rain barrel and punch holes in the bottoms of all old cans or other things that hold rain water and you will soon mo- tice the difference in the number of mosquitoes.
 Here Is an old clipping from .Iealth" on Insect StinEs,' it's worth repeating: sEtings and bites of insects are extremely dangerous at all times. and especially when the sys- tenn is not in a condition to resist the poison injected. In many insects the nature of the poison has not been ascertained; while in most of them 1t is of an acid, 1rritant nature, in others it may contain a powerful cardiac sedative and depressant, and in still others organisms in pure or mixed cultures may be introduced with the sting or bite. Apart from the natural poison used by Insects, 1t should not be forgotten that flies and other in ssects that live on carrion may easily carry contagion and inoculate the persons whom they bite or sting In the case of ordinary bites and stings the chemical antfdote is a strong aka
 line solution such as a strong foIu- tion of biearbonate of soda. or potash which counteracts the acid of the sting Suction at the wound in all these varieties of stings and bites will draw out some of the poison, and until some antitoxine treatment can be found which will prove an anti dote to the bacterial poison Introduced little can be done beyond a stimuIat- ing and supporting treatment with at tention to the symptoms

$7.50@7.75 with other grades at the
usual differential.
Demand for hogs seems to overrun
the light supply of only fair grade of

touched the $765 spot Monday. Out
look steady.
Shorn sheep are beginning to come
to market and although not strictly
fat are commanding very good prices.

THE FIRE TAX

If we had levied upon us an annua
tax of nearly half billion dollars, ant
from it we had no prospect of benefit
we would voice vigorous protest. AS
matter of fact the country pays
nearly that sum as an annual tribute
to carelessness.
According to a government report
the losses from fires in a certain year
was $456,4S5 900, or one and one-third
million dollars daily. An investig lL'on
of fires at Rochester New York, show
ed that 20 per cent were due tc
candles, lamps, and matches, 1G per
cent to overheated stoves and fur
naces, and Is per cent to defective
chimneys and fiues.
Nobody makes more money out of
an increase in the fire risks. While
the rates will increase as fires become
more frequent in a given territory,
the insurance companies do not neces-
sarily OF usually make more money
there. A moments consideration will
convince anyone that the increase in
business or in rates resulting from
fires in given district are very I'M
likely to pay the losses due to the
fires.
Insurance companies do not want
more fires. They want less. The
amount of property to be protected iii
any territory remains practically tae
same, and the inclination of owners to
carry insurance is not greatly increas-
ed by fires, and is diminished by
higher rates. Property owners have
nothing to gain by fire, generally.
Every body has something to gain nv
diminishing fire hazards. Rates will
be lower, and less property Will be
lost. North Idahos rates have been,
in some respects, less favorable recent
ly than formerly 1t is a good tine
to pay some attention to diminishing
fire risks.
