the enlistment and organization of the

"It was pointed out by the southern

flock to the flag when lured by the
prospects Of two months vacation at

"And once The Negroes begin TO Join

'There is now little or no sentiment

CHILDREN AND CHICKENS.
Evening wisconsin,


It will be remembered by many that
ton of 1907 the belief became very
general that children playing in con-
fined places allotted to chickens were
peculiarly subject to the disease. Dur
ing the infant paralysis outbreak of
the year now drawing to a close very
little has been said on this subject
but the following from the Scientific
American recalls it:
Epidemics of diphtheria which arise
without apparent cause, can be traced
to animals and generally birds, es-
pecially domestic fowls In this case
the diphtheria is often due to the
Klebs-Loef1er bacillus, but can arise
from other and apparently harmless
microbes. We're the effects due to
really diseased animals or fowls it
would be an easy matter to take the
proper measures, but unfortunately
this is not the case, for the diphtheria
bacillus can be found in the throat
mucus Of healthy animals as we'll as
in the cloacal mucus of birds and
fowls. According to Doctor Gourin,
these germs while not virulent in the
animal, quickly become so when they
enter the human system and the fact
that healthy animals can possess such
germs will suffice to explain the mys-
ferrous appearance of certain epidem-
les.
A correspondent of the Syracuse
Post-Standard suggests that health
boards throughout the country should
warn parents against allowing their
little ones to play in or about the
coops of domestic fowls. Certainly
chicken coops are not the cleanest
places in the world, and in these days
when the germ theory of disease is
widely accepted it seems reckless to
let children risk the exposure against
which this correspondent and the
Scientific American sound a warning
note.

How Many Women
Are i'm Trouble
Today?
BY j. r. HAMILTON
Former Advertising Manager of wanamaker's, Philadelphia

All Of you women whose husbands have told you you have been
spending too much money, please stand up. Great Scott! Every
married woman in America is on her feet.
All you who are earning your own living and spending as
much as you earn please stand up.
Now we've got the rest of them.
swell" you say, "now that you've got us standing here what
are you going to do about it?"
Pm going to give you the first law of business:
Cut your expenses down first, and then find out how you can
do it afterward.
Every big institution carries what it calls a "butcher.'
When the expenses of that institution begin to eat up the
profits the "butcher" issues a sweeping order to cut down so many
hundreds of dollars a day. He doesn't ask how it can be done.
He knows it has to be done if his business is going to continue,
and he leaves it to the people under him to find out how.
This cutting seldom if ever ruins a business. 1t simply
sharpens the wits of those who are left.
Now let's take your case. Instead of taking the money that
you think you ought to have, suppose you take the money that
you have actually got. In your case, being both "butcher" and
buver, you naturally have to sharpen your own wits.
Therefore the first thing you begin to do each day Gust as you
are going to do now in a minute or two. is to open this paper and
see what special inducement each store is offering in the things
that are necessary for you to buy. You look for the clothes, and
the shoes, the children's dresses and suits, the underwear, the
house needs, and all of the various necessities and luxuries de-
manded in your standard of life.
The next thing to do is to cut out all those snobbsh, exclu-
sive, little nonadvertising concerns, who find it somehow beneath
their dignity to sell their goods at less than a profit of several
hundred per cent.
The third thing you do is to reckon up your savings at the
end of a week or two.
And the fourth thing you do is to stand amazed at the
amount you have saved in spite of the amount you have bought
Now of course this is letting you in behind the scenes.
There isn't a buyer in any store who doesn't have to bring
himself up with a jerk or get brought up with a jerk every once
in while, and who doesn't also stand amazed at what he has been
able to accomplish with a smaller amount of capital and a greater
amount of energy and a little extra thimbleful of brains.
Now don't tell anybody you have been behind the scenes, but
Just dig into the advertising in this paper quietly for the next
few days; cut out the "droppinginanywhere" method of shop
ping; make a business of your household expenditures, and see
if this little financial plan doesn't relieve your terrible money
strain.
