SAINT VALENTINE.

It would be an interesting subject
for speculation. how far the youth of
today distributes sentimental love Of
ferings on ST. Valentines Day as his
father did before him. Modern young
people are keen1y alive to absurdities,
and the old fashioned sentimental
valentine probably would seem ridic-
uloI1s today.
Most middle aged people, men at
least, have memories of Feb. IA ex-
PLOTS in the period of their teens. It
was a time to approach with bated
breath. You were DESTROYS of ex-
pressing your devotion to your mann
orata, and anxious as to how far she
would be gracious. The choice of a.
suitable valentine was a matter of So
licitous thought.
The favorite valentine of those days
was a lacey sort. of affair, .beautif1ed
by elaborate paper cutting and per-
foration, decorated with gorgeous
Cupids and hearts, with pictures of
c1ergymen and churches in the back
ground to suggest the goal of mar
riage. Many hard earned pennies were
cheerfu11y given up for those artistic
product ons. How ones heart
throbbed when finally the love 1orn
message had been committed to the
post Office, and was on it's way to its
adored destination.
A hasty glance at the present-day
stocks of valentines does not show
much of this kind of thing. + st. Valen-
tines day has become a time when
young folks, instead of sending one
valentine only to some preferred lover,
exchange a lot of post cards wholesale.
The young people of today seem a
little more normal in the matter of
precocious affection The boy and
girl of years ago were too much con-
cerned with the other sex for their
own good. Today athletics and social
activities take up time and attention
in a more wholesome way.

ToDAY's POEM

BY THE GRAVE OF THOREAU.
Some earth, some grass, and solitude
Three things he loved, three things he
wooed
Lifelong; and now no rhyme can tell
How untineIy all is we'll
With his wild heart that worshipped
Gods
Epiphany in crumbling sods
And like an oak brought AT it's worth
Back to the kindly mother earth.
But something starry, something
bold
Eludes the clutch of dark and mould
Something that will notw holly die
Out of the azure Of the sky.
No spell in all the lore or graves
Can still the pIash of Walden waves
Or wear away the vivid stain
OF Concord skies in heart and brain.
Clean psa1terIl5 and faint citoles
Only recall the orioles
FIuting reveiIle to the morn
Across the acres of the corn.
I see him wandering lonely still
Along the solitary hill
Each evening building loneIier fires.
Remote from heavens bright RAM
A hermit in the blue Beyond
By shores OF some celestial pond,
With beans to hoe and wood to hew
And halcyon days to Ioiter through.
With angel visitors, no doubt,
To shut the ali and sunlight out
And he who scoffed at human ways
And, since we were unworthy Of
praise,
Sang misanthropic paens to
The musk-rat and the feyerfew
VIII droop those archangeIic wings
With praise of how we manage things,
Prefer his Walden tupeIo
To all the Trees of Life, and grow
A little wistfuI looking down
Across the fields of Concord Town

ADMIRAL BLUE CALLS
RESERVE LAW FAILURE

Washington. Feb. Show only
three hundred and three men have
been brought into the naval reserve
by laws designed to foster such a
force was told to the House naval
committee yesterday by Rear Admiral
Victor Blue. Secretary Daniels, he
said, had proposed amendments which
it was hoped would build up the
force.
representative Britton, Republican,
said he understood the French navy.
with which the American was now
thought to be about q par other
wise, had 10000 reservists with an
active force of $4,000.
While the naval reserve law had
been disappointing in procuring num-
bers, Admiral Blue said 1t had brought
a greater percentage of re-enlistm ents,
giving the navy a large proportion of
trained men on it's ships 1t should
be permitted, he thought, to give from
sixteen to twenty years to navy SER
vice if they could be induced to do so.

YOUNG GIRLS
FROM VESTS QUERIES

L. D. and G. c. ask: Are we two
girls from the west, sixteen and
seventeen, too young to keep steady
company with nice young men if pa
rents permit? Is it proper to ac-
oept presents from men consisting of
boxes of candy? How early should
Urls of our age home home from
walks nights? One young man is
away (empIoyed). Is it right to go
with any one else if he does not want
me to? Is it harmful for girls our
age to attend public dances if escorts
board at place we do? Are we sup
posed to go to entertainments with
young men? Should we wear our
dresses longT We are school girls"
do believe you are too young to
keep steady company for two years
more, or to go with others. Come
home from walks as early as nine p.
m. Do not attend public dances. Do

DAIRY COMMISSIONER
HAS HARD FIGHT TO
BAN DISEASED CATTLE

Hartford, Conn. Feb. 9.-Dairy
Commissioner j. o. Phelps said today
his department had experienced some
difficulty in the enforcement of the
law in effect since last October to pre-
vent the Importation or diseased cat
lie into the state from the fact that
the railroad companies did not always
keep an exact account of the number
Of the cattle in a car from another
state He is making arrangements
with the companies by which in the
1uture the books will show the pre-
else number of animals in car.
TWENTY-FIVE per cent of the cattle
in the state are diseased said DR..
ingram, the deputy commissioner. Dr.
ingram said the condition was due in
great measure to the Importation of
unhealthy cattle into Connecticut. Dr.
ingram said he visited farmer
place in Enfield where he found con-
ditfons shockiRgIy filthy and UNI
healthy The farmer had a, herd of
thirty-two cows.

The fashionable collar cape is ar
tisIicaI1y utilized on this one-piece
frock OF striped chalIis In two shades
of blue. About thu bottom OF the skirt
there is band of plain blue failIe to

cuffs on the sleeves are also of faille.
In medium size the dress requires Az
yards 44-inch material and the cape,
which is separate. IN yards se-tnos

Today's dressnaking lesson has to
do principally with the cutting of the
dress. A study of the cutting guide
shows that the back and front cores of
the skirt are laid on the length wise
fold OF material. with the front of the
waist placed next to the front skirt
gore The cuff is laid on a Iengthwise
thread Of material and fits nicely into
the space opposite the front of the
waist, the lower corner of the cuff
meeting the arnhole The sleeve is
also laid on lengthwise thread Then
comes the back Of the waist. on
lengthwise fold. with the collar last,
on a lengthwise thread.
The neck of the dress is cut In round
outline, and to do this the underbody
Is cut out at the neck edges on small
20" perforations. The small co. per-
fPrauons on the cores OF skirt fndi-
cate the outline for making them
shorter.
To cut cape avoid mistakes by lay
ing out pattern on material in accord
ance with cutting guide. Place pieces

Dear Doctor: Some time ago you
had something to say about the value
of bananas as food, comparing them
with potatoes, etc. Now, 1T seems TO
me you did not give the banana the
credit to which it is entitled. You
or the authorities you quoted, said
nothing of tke saving of energy in the
digestion of the barana, as compared
with the potato. AS the former re-
quires so much less force expended IN
its digestion than the latter, it APP
pears to me that the difference should
be added to the nutritive value of the
banana Do you not think so?
have never seen any notice taken of
this phase Of the subject, but think
it deserving of notice. However
much nutriment food contains If 1t is
SO hard to digest that it requires the
expenditure on its digestion or as
much force as it returns to US, how
much better off are we for it's use?
believe that fruits and nuts, prop
erly combined, contain all the ele-
ments required for mans physical we'll
being Being practically all the foods
that are really pa1atable without arti-
fetal preparation it seems to me to
indicate that nature intended them
alone as the proper food for man. am
Cranky" 1 suppose, but I am glad
that people are at least beginning to
wake up to the evil effects of the or
binary diet. MISS l..
Answer. I agree most heartily in
what Miss L, has to say in regard to
the digestibility of foods that require
less of an effort in digestion, and that
this should be added to the nutr1tfve
value of the food. However, also
believe the digestive apparatus needs
exercise as we'll as other parts Of the
body therefore the exclusive use of
very easily digested or predigested
foods would have a tendency to weak
en- them, although they should not be
| overworked, which is the rule rather
than the exception in the present day
diet, as to manner and quantity and
quality of food taken.
