"GIVE THE BOY A LANTERN''
Sound Advice for the Farmer, and
Also Works Well Along the
Lines of Education.

writer in one of the farm papers
has a suggestion for fathers who
wish to keep their sons on the farm.
Give the boy a lantern he says.
His idea, as he expands it, is that the
boy, once the lantern is his own prop
erty, will make his work pleasanter
by using it. He will do work before
dawn and after dark more cheerfully
because his lantern takes away the
darkness and the sense of drudgery.
We do not have lanterns in the
city, but the Gary school system
gives our boys something to light
their lives with. 1t shows them that
there is something in life besides poll
parrot study, street corner Ioafng and
the perfunctory search, later on, for
q job" 1t is lantern that shows
them what is suited to their tempera-
merts and tastes. Instead of look
ing forward with dread to the day
when they must go out and find a
job they look with eagerness to the
time when they can use their knowl-
edge and their skill in lines of work
to which they have become attached.
"a job" becomes the job and
the job is eagerly waiting for the boy.

HOW to Avoid Faulty Pastures.

The other day a certain woman
asked one of her friends VINO had a
most graceful figure what she did
when she was young to prevent herself
from assuming faulty pastures and
falling into lad walking habits She
answered that as child she was made
to practice walking before mirror
for short time every day, ana she
had to hold stick behind the back
moving it slowly from the waist up
ward, and then down as far as posi-
BILE.
There were also other exercises OF
this nature. Department is not prac
ticed so carefully nowadays, one i'm
AGNES; but it might be a good idea fol
mothers of growing children to revive
this practice.

is a condition to be avoided when
ever possible. Bad housing, mental or
physical harassment and overwork are
alike the advance agents of the in
fection. Overcrowding in street cars,
theatres and other public places, is
unquestionably in part responsible for
the spread of pneumonia in cities, as
far greater opportunity is thus Of
fered for the dissemination of the pre-
disposing diseases through indiscri-
inmate coughing and other means OF
droplet infection, as we'll as the direct
ly injurious effects which inevitably
result from exposure to such environ
ment. A remaining most important
agent should be NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
1t is in truth the hand-maiden Of
pneumonia, and there is none more
certain or more sure of success, es-
pecially if literally and continuous
ly used.
While the foregoing facts consti-
tute in part our knowledge of the
reasons for the widespread dissemina-
tion of an infection which carries
with it mortality of from ten to
thirty per cent, it should be remem-
bered that our scientific data are not
yet complete. There are problems
connected with immunity, predisposi-
ton, and the occurrence of epidemics
which are yet to be solved. It is,
however, recognized that avoidance of
the factors so briefly enumerated will
in large part diminish individual sus-
ceptibility and therefore the in 'idcnce
oc tre disease.

PNEUMONIA.

Ten per cent Of the deaths in the
United States result from pneumonia
It is estimated that during the past
thirty days this rate has been doubled
in some sections. Tuberculosis and
heart disease, each causing one-ninth
of all fatalities, are the only diseases
which outrank pneumonia among the
legion of the men of death, but in
certain cities pneumonia is steadily
increasing and even has surpassed the
mortality from tuberculosis. Seventy
per cent of all cases occur between
December and May. 1t is distinctly a
cold weather infection, seemingly
brought by wintry blasts, but espe-
cially prevalent during the winter sea-
son only, because its victims are rend-
cred more susceptible at that time by
exposure, debilitating influences and
the presence of predisposing infec-
tions.
Pneumonia principally affects those
at the extremes of life, but no age is
exempt. It is invariably germ dis
ease. The predisposing and exciting
organisms are so numerous that it
would be futile to attempt their enum-
Grafton. Many of them are constant
" present in the mouths and throats
Of healthy persons and it is only
through the aid which we unwittingly
extend to them that they are trans
formed from harmless organisms to
one of mans most powerful enemies.
The presence of other diseases is
the great predisposing cause of
pneumonia. They prepare the soil
for invasion. Holding first rank in
this category is influenza, the in
creased incidence of pneumonia at this
time being largely due to the pres
ent epidemic of la grippe. individuals
suffering from this infection are Pc
culiarly susceptible to respiratory
complications and should properly OBJ
serve every hygienic rule. 1nflamma-
tion of the upper air passages, pha-
ryngitis, bronchitis and tonsillitis, Of
ten predispose to the development OF
the disease, particularly among the
aged and infirm. The acute contag-
ious diseases of childhood, more es-
pecially measles and whooping cough,
frequently prepare the way for pneu-
monia. Anyone who through neglect
or carelessness permits the spread of
these infections is therefore open to
the severest condemnation. Exhaust
ing disease of whatever nature, is
often sufficient to so reduce our re-
sistance that we are unable to cope
with organisms which should be cas-
lily overcome, and hence predisposes
to the infection.
The combination of lack of food
and fatigue proves particularly dis
astrous during the winter season and

Scotch Ii . uOr
And Fountain
Pen Ink Is Up

ATLANTA, Ca, March 27-Foun-
tain pens and booze-fighters will soon
be having an equally hard time of it.
They have raised the price of ink on
the one hand and of Scotch whiske )
on the other, SO that pens and people
will soon have to go thirsty, or pay
more for liquid refreshment.
AS to the price of Scotch it is only
natural that it would rise, as it is a
commodity made only in Great Brit
ain.
The cause of the rise in the price o:
ink is little more complicated, but
traces back just the same 10 the war.
A good may of the raw materials that
go into the making of ink have risen,
which is the principal reason, though,
of course, a good deal of high grade
ink was made in Germany and coun-
tries now at war.
If the prices keep going up the foun-
tain pen may turn into a pencil, but the
liquor head will never be TRANSFORMED
into sober man, if the past is an evil
dence of the future. He will merely
switch from yellow liquor to REDO
maybe to the white lightning stuff.

MILITARY INSTRUCTIONS.

The people of the United States are
awakening to the needs of this nation
in the matter of national defense. The
necessity of well-trained youths for
military service should the occasion
arise permits no argument. The
stump-speaker and that demogogic
character of politics who knows it all.
is often heard to cry with much pa
thos that the American is the best sold
Ter on earth; we can whip the world:
we can secure an army of million in
a day. All of this has Jingle of pa
triotic pride.
But the conditions are different now
than when the American republic saw
IFS birth. The brave people who bat
tied for the foundation of this nation
at Bunker Hill, with their shotguns,
protected behind hay-stacks, were tow
ers of strength. But those same tao
tics don't go now.
The European war has plainly dem
onstrated the necessity of trained sold
iers; bred in the rudiments of military
tactics. This awakening for prepared
ness has no fears of militarism.
Prof. j. E. Mathis, of the Americas
schools, has the distinction of first car.
