We can be but partially acquainted
even with the events which actually
influence our course through life and
our final destiny. There are innumer-
able other events, if such they may be
called, which come close upon Us, yet
pass away without actual results or
even betraying their near approach by
the reflection of any light or shadow
across our minds. Could we know all
the vicissitudes of our fortune life
would be too full Of hope and fear,

Historic Pavia.

Much history has been written at the
quaint italian town Of Pavia, which is
not so well known to the tourist as IL
should be. For 200 years, until Charlie
magne overthrow them, it was the cap
ital of the Lombard kings, the kings
of that one time Teuton tribe of Lon
gobardi who conquered Italy, only to
be themselves slowly conquered and
become Italians or, more accurately,
Romanized. 1t is they who ruled over
this great fertile plain between the Alps
and the Apennines. In the church of
San Michele kings of Italy were crown
ed a thousand years ago. Here two
Germans at least-Henry II. Q00D and
Frederick Barbarossa 1155)-received
upon their brows that iron crown of
the Lombards" which conveyed the
sovereignty of Italy.-Argonaut

when he places the stethoscope against

are healthy pleasant breezy sound
soft in tone, is heard as the breath is

of the same complaint the sound is

One of the signs of pneumonia is the

Nj. Nj. CORNER.
Edited by Aunt Jennie.

"Du Telli"-'I want to knowi"
1t would cause us to smile, ii we
were to hear these old fashioned phrases
now. yet in reality there is more sense
to them than some we hear these
days, as, should worry" What do
you know about that?" etc. A neigh
Dor. not necessarily gossip, is de-
liyering piece of news, and natur-
ally the surprise and interest of the
other is fifty expressed in these
words. So in these times we hear and
read of so much that should be of vi
tai Importance to us all, so many
threatening dangers, we eXclain I'M
der our breath. "Du Tell" 81 want to
know"i But how are we to know?
1t looks sometimes as though doctors,
nurses and health officers were COM
bined to keep valuable Information to
themselves, and only part with it for
pay. Why can't we mothers with
years of experience in our homes
have chance to acquire this technical
knowledge that viii make us as
capable as the ordinary nurse
at least? We do not see why
we need nurse to refer us to
doctor. Many of us live many miles
from a doctor. with no money to pay
one. We could possibly afford to take
paper, if it would give us plain,
simple instructions for diagnosing
and treating diseases. Then if we
could have Bureau of Information
that we could call up by telephone, we
might afford to stay on our farms,
some of us who live in the country.
orc Of in
fantile paralysis it is likely there will
be little interest taken in the matter
of prevention, important as it is. Even
in those lengthy articles it seemed to
us more should have been made plain.
We would ask, What are the ordin-
airy symptoms?' Some one tells us
these cases are all very light Should
a child be put to bed or taken out in
the air?
Mothers are advised to send for a
doctor if a child shows any signs of
Sickness. whether they have reason to
believe it is paralysis or not. This is
easy enough to say, or to do if one
has plenty of money, which most of
us have not. You should know that
in these days an ordinary working
man cannot, even with steady work,
afford to pay doctor bills.
We read that such and such home
is quarantined. Do we realize what
that means? That if father and brother
go to work they must board elsewhere.
Maybe the mother works. Then who
will earn the living and pay the doc
tor? And our children must keep
away from other children! That
means they cannot play in their own
backyard, or on the school play
ground. They will die cooped up in
the house, so what can we do?
Isn't there way that the family
can live, and care for the little sick
one and not isolate him so that he will
die of lonesomeness? If nurses can
be immune from infection, why cannot
our mothers learn this, art?
Let us study how to make each of
our homes good happy place for the
children,-well or sick,-let there be
suitable diversion for the little in
valids, simple playthings that can be
burned when the child RECEIVERS.
The Mothers Meeting will be held at
the home of Mrs. H. E. Matthews, 418
