iNpIscREET YOUNG GIRLS.

Alas, how easily things go wrong,
A sigh too much or kiss too long!
Then comes to the heart a lingering pain
And life is never the same again.
II is the nature Of youth to be gay,
4ust as it is for young lambkins to
irolic and young birdlings to sing their
xhroats out in the sunshine, all heed
less of a stormy tomorrow; for the
clouds are lowering. Youth is not wise
enough to count the cause of an in
discreet thought, word or act.
II is one of two things which lures
many girl to her undoing-mischie-
yous girl friends who put the wrong
notions in her head, or being brought
in contact with class of young men
who have not the right respect for in
nocent young girls. The life of de-
serving young working girls is fraught
with more danger, perhaps, than that
of any other class. One bold girl
friend can corrupt the morals of many
with whom she is brought in contact.
She boasts to the confiding little girl
who works at the same counter with
her that she met such a nice young
man the evening before, who took her
to supper, then to the movies and to
q dance later.
The innocent one listens. IF could
only be introduced to some nice young
man." she says, with sigh. Intro
duced!" the older girl laughs iron
icasly. I'VE f1irted! 1t was case of
admiration with both of us at first
sight, The younger girls follows the
older ones example. She is led into
a street Irritation, which her employer,
walking behind her, sees with much
amazement and annoyance. 1t would
hurt the reputation of his business to
employ u girl who had so little respect
for herself as to pick up an acquaint
anca on the street. She is called to
the office the next day and is severely
reprimanded. 1t would have meant
her discharge had not her employer
believed she lad simply been indis
Greet. This being her first offense, ne
was willing TO give her chance to
redeem herself. He explained to her
in all kindness. from mans point OF
view, that she was on the wrong
track: that men had no respect what
ever for one whom they became &C

drinking water where animals can
very well eat them and thus become
infected. The hog is particularly liable
to this disease because of its roofing
habits. The eggs may get into hui
man food, and persons who allow
dogs to lick their hands and face also
run the risk of getting the eggs of the
tapeworm in their systems.
Prevention on the farm consists in
so restraining the dog that he cannot
get at carrion or raw viscera. Viscera
should be boiled before being fed to
dogs and should never be thrown on
the fields. If not cooked and fed, WIS.,
cera and carcasses should be burned,
buried with lime, or so disposed of as
not to be accessible to dogs. Proper
feeding of the dog is essential and the
owner who does not feed dog prop
erly has no right to keep one.
The parasite which causes gid In
sheep somewhat resembles the hyda-
It'd worm A dog allowed to eat the
brain Of giddy sheep may swallow
this parasite and later distribute the
eggs Of the resulting tapeworm over
the pasture. Sheep while grazing
swallow the eggs with the grass which
they eat. In the case of sheep dogs
it is important to administer vermi-
fuges often enough to keep them free
of these worms. In the case OF sheep
measles, the bladder worm in the
meat, typical of this disease, is swal-
lowed by the dog and again the tape
worm eggs are passed by the dog to
grass or water and there are eaten
by sheep.
Of the external parasites which
dogs may carry to animals, heas ana
the various kinds of ticks are both
troublesome and dangerous. The
remedy is clear. The owner must
keep his dog clean, not merely for the
comfort and happiness of Che dog, but
to prevent it from becoming carrier
of disagreeable and dangerous vermin.
These reasonable measures, impor-
tant to the stock on the farm, have a
direct connection with the health or
the family. Where ringworm or other
skin diseases break out among the
children, or the worm parasites devel-
Cd, it is well to determine whether a
dirty or uncaredfor dog may not be
carrying infection on his skin or HAIR
or be conveying disease from carrion
directly to the food and persons OF his
friends. Even if no one is infected
with disease, the folly of allowing
dog to remain dirty and have the free
dom of a home where personal clean
illness and hygiene are respected is APP
parent.

IL the reputation of the girl with whom
thW were seen talking was ruined
thereby. He pointed out that the man
did not carry guaranty placard
pinned on his coat denoting whether
he was married or single, and that the
indiscreet girl who encouraged his at
tentions might be playing with SER
pent that would soon wind his coils
about her, causing her, while yet in
her youth, to join the army of Mag
dalens on the fatal road from which
few ever are saved.
Tie girl who has committed no folly,
and as yet has been only indiscreet,
should turn over a new leaf quickly.
She should keep away from older girls
who would misguide her and from men
who are not Of the marrying kind.

World's Debt to France.

While it is impossible to overesti-
mate the debt that the world owes to
France for the suffering and sorrow
she has borne in behalf of the cause
of human liberty, her other contri-
buttons to civilization have not been
less notable. The world, indeed, owes
much to its literary tenets and tend
encies of the twentieth century to
France. The roll Of French writer's
is a long one, and their contributions
to literature are very rich. Moreover,
II was her Pasteur who established
the germ theory of disease, ana
through whom the wonderful miracles
of saving human life that have char
acterized the past third Of a century
have been wrought.

(F'rom Weekly Letter. United States De-
partment of Agriculture.)
The dog in the country is a useful
and pleasant adjunct to the farm if he
is properly controlled and cared for,
but when neglected may readily be-
come a carrier of disease to stock, in
addition to gaining opportunity to kill
sheep and destroy gardens and other
property. Dog ordinances, as a gen.
eral rule, have been intended chiefly to
curb the dogs power of doing harm by
attacking, biting, killing or running
sheep or stock. The part that he
plays as q carrier of diseases to ami
mails only recently has been recog-
nized, according to the biologists OF
the United States department of agri-
culture, who believe that when this is
better understood rural ordinances and
laws which lessen this danger will
gain the support of the community.
Of the diseases carried to stock by
dogs, the foot-and-mouth disease is
probably of the greatest interest at
this time. In this case the dog acts
as a mechanical carrier Of infection.
The dog which runs across an infect
ed farm easily may carry in the dirt
on his feet the virus of this most con-
tagious of animal diseases to other
farms and thus spread the disease
to the neighboring herds. In infected
localities it is absolutely essential,
therefore, to keep all dogs chained
and never to allow them off the farm
except on leash.
There are, however, many other
maladies in the spread of which the
dog takes an active part. In Bulletin
260 of the department, "The Dog as
a Carrier of Parasites and Disease" it
is pointed out that rabies, hydatfd,
ringworm, favus, double-pored tape
worm, roundworm and tongue worm
are often conveyed to human beings In
this way. It occasionally happens also
that the dog helps fleas and ticks in
transmitting bubonic plague or the
deadly spotted fever. u.. h.
Hydatid disease is caused by the
presence in the liver, kidneys, brain,
lungs and other organs of bladder
worm or larval tapeworm. Bladder
worms are often as large as an orange
and may be larger. A dog which is
allowed to feed on carrion or the raw
yiscera of slaughtered animals may eat
all or part of bladder worm contain
ing numerous tapeworm heads. These
tapeworm heads develop into small
segmented tapeworms in the intestines
of the dog. The tapeworms in turn
develop eggs which are passed out In
the excrement of the dog. They are
spread broadcast on grass and IN

thing else in the world could. 1t is

marks sarcastically. That's what q

the wife declares, fiinging herself
down in burst of tears, you two
had a spat and parted. Then you
married me just to spite her." she
flashes out through her sobs.
From past experience the husband
knows that if he does tell the truth
she will not believe it, so he does not
answer. He thrusts his hands in his
pocket. whistles an old love tune and
looks out.
The very girl they have been speak
ing of passes by. Hubby is mighty
glad that his wife is not at the win
dow to see her. He is ashamed that
he ever imagined he cared enough for
that girl to call upon her a second
time, let alone for some six months.
She was giddy then. She is far gid
der now. Her loud laugh, as she talks
with her companions, causes the peo-
pie to turn round ard stare at her.
She was slender then; she is plump
now, aye, actually fat. Her shoes
are run off at the heel. The small
hat on her immense head makes her
look grotesque. In days gone by he
had had great admiration for her red
cheeks. Now it does not need spec
tacles for anyone to see that they
are of the bought variety instead of
natures own.
He could have laughed aloud at the
foolishness of wives who are jealous
of old sweethearts. They haven't the
least bit of cause, he Eliminates. Their
kisses and handclasps are forgotten
like last years snow or birdnote
that is lost upon the breeze. Once in
a while a man may become enamored
of Q girl he has loved in bygone days.
But such instances are few and lar
between. When the love chain is
snapped asunder, that's the end OF
that romance Rather than try to
mend it, most men would rather inter
est a new heart. Men always love
the last sweetheart the best and most
truly.

SINGLE CIGAR COST $3.50
cegeIka Receives 1t From a Strange
Man, and Is Robbed After
Smoking Il.

Muncie, Ind.-The most expensive
cigar that Joseph Cegelka, Muncie
Roumanian, ever smoked, cost him ex-
actly $3.50, according to his story as
related to the police.
A man giving his name as John
Adams was the cause. The two met
at th4e boarding house of Mrs. Mar
tina Jones. According to Mrs. Jones
the men were in the same room in
her house for an hour or more.
Finally Adams left the house alone.
Eventually Cegelka reported to the
police that he had been robbed OF
$3.50 after having smoked a cigar
given him by this Adams. The po-
lice believe the cigar was "doped."

buttons scattered over the sides of it's
body. However, in the light of recent
discoveries, we may yet hope for def
mite knowledge as to it's true nature.
There is every reason to believe
that the stegosaurus is descended
from bipedal ancestry. Increasing
bulk and development of the armor
caused them to lose quickness of
movement, and they became sluggish,
slow-moving creatures of low mental
ity, sufficient only, perhaps, to direct
the mere mechanical functions of life.

Canada has been practically free
from labor troubles since this legisia-
ton was put into effect. 1t seems to
be an effective system and it's sole wea-
pom is publicity. Neither side cares to
go against the official finding.
A weapon like this in the United
States at this time would be a most
effective one for the public. After an
official ascertainment of the facts, and
after a recommendation to the railway
workers and to the railway officials, it
is hardly conceivable that either side
would care to go against it. 1t has the
merit of fairness and simplicity.
