MORAL COURAGE
ESSENTIAL TO
HEALTH
Doctor Dixon Uses Man Ad-
dicted to Alcohol as an
Example.

. HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. 30.-Moral
courage is one Of the more important
factors in preserving health, accord
ing to DR.. Samuel G. Dixon, the state
commissioner Of heath. Doctor Dix
on uses Courage" for the title of his
Little Talk on Health and Hygiene"
this week, pointing out the folly of
neglecting an ailment because Of fear
to consult physician and reinarkine
upon the Stiffness OF worrying over a
trivial departure from the normal con-
dition. The health commissioner says;
Every doctor Is continually finding
patients who have some serious all
ment which has been neglected until
the possibilities Of cure are greatly
reduced or entirely hopeless.
"Want Of courage and not lack of
knowledge that there is something
radically wrong with them has. in
the majority Of instances, kept these
patients from seeking physicians
aid.
"This is one Of many instances
that might be cited to show how es-
sential courage is to health. 1t is
want of moral courage, in many in
stances, which leads a man who Is
perfectly aware that alcoholic slim
ulants are breaking him down phys
ically and often melsally, to Nntinue
to drink.
Then, again, every physician meets
in his practice men and women who
get in blue funk over the most
trivial ailment. Often enough, these
persons worry themselves until they
arrive at state Of mental and phys
zeal depression which makes them
ready prey for disease.
"Unquestionably. there are many dan
gers to health which we must meet
every day of our lives. 1t is we'll to
know of these times in order that we
may form the habit of avoiding as
many Of them as possible, but to be
ever fearful, thinking of and cringing
from danger will not aid us to avoid
It.
1.-THE brave man is he who knows
his enemy's strength. is watchful, Wig
liant, but not fearful.
(" 'Cowards die many times before
their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but
once"

MUCH SUFFERING IN

Mexican poor will have to face during
the cold winter. Corn is still selling
at a prohibitiye price for those who
need 1t and the prospective crop
shortage Of sixty per cent will great

TEXAS SNAKE HUNTERS

Dealers in RattIers Say Mexi.
can Raids Have Ruined
Their Business.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, Oct. 3O.-Just
when the parrot shipments from Mex
leo were beginning to move and bus
mess in the bird and animal line
looked promising, the rattlesnake
business went to pieces. according to
Mrs. W. o. Leran. Several months
ago rattlers were plentiful and no
one wanted to buy. Every dealer IN
the north was begging for Mexican
parrots and parakeets and there were
none to be had. Now the buyers want
snakes and the supply is nil.
The operations Of the bandits along
the Rio Grande are responsible for
the killing Of the business Of eaten
ing rattle snakes, it is said. Almost
the entire supply of rattlers comes
from the cacti jungles along the Mex.
lean border, and almost the entire
United States is supplied through one
house in San Antonio. Formerly the
trade amounted to more than $780,
900 year, the venomous reptiles be-
ing shipped by thousands Of pounds.

RAR|Es(7
Have Footprints Recorded as
Soon as They Are Born,
inHospitaI.

CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-Every baby
who first sees this world in the Chi
cago Lying-1n hospital may feel safe
that he will always be known as him
self and no other. Though he be
twin, or triplet even, he may never
fear confusion Of identity. The first
hour of his life he marks scientifical-
ly a definite footprint on the official
records.
Take Unusual Precautions.
The Chicago Lying-1n hospital has
always taken unusual precautions
against error in handling babies and
against possible substitution Of one
child for another. Every mother
there knows that from the moment
OF birth her baby Is marked by tape
tied on the wrist bearing the same
number which she wears similarly,
She is also assured that her child's
name is written in full on a piece OF
adhesive plaster fastened on his neck
Now she has the additional assur-
ance of the record of his footprints
made directly after birth and placed
on file in the books of the hospital.
Miss Jessie Christie, superintendent
OF nurses in the hospital, and Miss
Mabel Cannon, chief nurse in the birth
room, regard this new method Of iden-
tification as q permanent record OF
value from a scientific standpoint.
Every child is born with lines On the
skin of his fingers and the soles OF
his feet, and these never change,
Though fingers and feet grow in size,
the lines grow with them, and the
pattern remains true to Its first form.
No Other Foot Like 1t.
The method used in making the Inn
prints is simple. The nurse in charge
takes the infants tiny foot in her
hand and presses 1t against an ink
pad, taking care that the pressure is
evenly applied, and yet not strong
enough to fill with ink the tiny lines.
Then she presses the inky foot against
a piece Of paper Of moderate gloss.
This paper is withdrawn and bears
the signature Of new personality.
No other footprint In the world is
just the same.

HOW TO USE

Crumbs Can Be Served as a
Breakfast Cereal, Says
Mrs. Anna B. Scott.
By MRS. ANNA B. SCOTT

North American.
No careful housekeeper will throw
away discarded or stale bits Of bread.
the usual way Of utilizing them has
been to convert them into old fash
Toned bread pudding. There is moth
Ing more nutritious than this, but In
the winter months, when eggs are 40
or 45 cent ga dozen. bread pudding
becomes luxury. We al know That
II 1t is made on the basis Of one ege
to quart Of milk we will have a
poor pudding.
Bread for which no other use can
be found is always a valuable article
OF food II converted into crumbs. Did
1t ever occur to you that a very ,pal-
atable breakfast cereal can be made
out OF these same crumbs? Try 1t and
sec how you will enjoy 1t. Dry the
bread in an oven and place in fold
OF cheesecloth. Crush with rolling
pin. but be careful not to make It
too fine, Add pinch OF salt ana
serve with hot or cold milk and brown
sugar.
The crumbs can be served with
stewed fruits for the children,s lunch
cons and will be very nutritious. Then
everyone knows how useful finely
crushed breadcrumbs are In frying oy-
sters.
Bread crumb griddle cakes are ex-
cepttonally good for breakfast or
luncheon, and one egg will do for a
quart OF batter. They are made as
follows:
2 cup fine dry bread crumbs.
2 cups milk.
/ egg.
"a cup of -four.
I teaspoon baking powder.
1-2 teaspoon salt.
] tablespoon molasses (for brown
ing).
tablespoon melted butter or olive

crumbs, let them stand ten minutes,

crumbs, mix we'll, add -four and bak-

Operators Must Nowsiun Con-
tract, Agreeing to Remain
Single for a Year.

LOS MOLINES, Cal. Oct. 30.-Cupid
has so completely demoralized the
service Of the Pacific Coast Telephone
Company at Los Molines that Mrs. h.
Shipley, local manager. has decided
TO employ only married women in the
future, or require unmarried women to
give bond that they will say mo to
lall proposals for at least year. This
policy is stated In placard which
Mrs. Shipley has posted on the switch
bord, reading as follows:
Safety First.
"All applicants for employment on
this board must be married or give
bond to remain single for one year.
This drastic policy Is the result OF
cupid having taken ten girls from.
Mrs. Shipley's employ within the last
three years, which record will be APP
Ipreciated when 1t Is understood that
no more than two girls are ever em-
ploycd on the board at one time.
Three of the ten marriages have
been elopements and there was ono
double wedding. both Of the brides be-
ing hello girls. In fact, the tele-
phone board has become known To-
cally as the matrimonial bureau.
Here Is Cupid's Record.
Cupids first raid on the switch
board was when Miss Ruth Causley.
three years ago. became Mrs. Phil
Cope. Shortly afterward Miss Flor
ence Smith eloped with Mally Davis,
and 1t was necessary to break in a
new exchange girl. There was a.
short respite for the manager be-
fore cupid scored again. when Miss
Ethel Tyler was betrothed to Ross
Wells, and became resident Of Te-
hama.
| Then Miss Rose steftins succumbed
to cupid's wiles. and this left an
other vacancy at the switchboard.
Mary Causley followed the good ex-
ample set by her sister and became
Mrs. Roy Coatney.
Cupid Gets Two at a Time.
Then cupid got "dubs" and the
board lost two girls when Miss Lola
Hunt and Miss Reta Swanson were
married at a double wedding, becom-
ling respectively Mrs. Rogers and Mrs.
I p. G. Simpson. Less than q month
afterward Miss Lizzie Keefer hung up
her receiver and put her head into
the matrimonial yoke alongside Ivan
Allen, now of woodland. Miss Ivy
Burke. one of the first employees OF
the board, at last exposed her heart
to cupid's dart, shortly after which
she went to Montana where she be-
came Mrs. Clarence Estey.
ElOpement Grand Climax.
Then came the climax last week
when Miss Iseal Russell deserted the
board, presumably to attend high
school, but eloped the same night and
was married to BILLY" Stores. Of Te-
hama.
incidentally It should be mentioned
that there have already been seven
children born of these ten marriages.
the first of which was celebrated
three years ago.
