Gardening Essential Factor
In School Work, Is Claim.

School gardening, not as an exercise
or diversion. but as fundamental
factor of Il complete. rounded educa-
ton. is urged by Van Eyria Fitzpatrick
of New York, president of the School
Garden Association of America.
The child who does not come into d.
rect contact with growing plants and
animals is deprived of his natural heri-
tage, Mr.. Fitzpatrick n pioneer in school

culture, which should carry with 1T an
appreciation of the great outdoors and
its wholesome influences, he says, Is
Just as essential and in time will be so
recognized.

to carry that message to the people,
Mr.. Fitzpatrick said. ut Is little I'M

would be nettled until someone relieved
him of the burden he held so awk-
wardly.
The married man does not stammer
or grow confused in the presence of
women. On the contrary, he enjoys
confusing the gentler sex. A married
man cannot accept an invitation to an
affair offhand He knows very well
that his wife will have something to
say about that. A single mans hours
are his own outside of business. There
is no one to dictate what he may or
may not do. He can make an engage
ment on the spur of the moment for
anything that suits his fancy.
The married man shows his RESPONSE
bilities on his face. The single mans
face shows absence of them. The
married man shows plainly that he has
no heart to lose. The single mans at
titude toward women shows that he is
looking about for the right one.
The married man has no real interest
in any woman outside of his own fam.
lily or circle of close friends. The sin
gle man has interest wherever there
are likeable young ladies who appeal
to him. A married man is always ready
to go to his dinner at the tap of the
hotel gong. If single man is con.
versing with single young lady he
forgets dinner everything in the pleas
ure of her charming presence.
There are upward of a thousand
ways, never failing signs, by which you
can tell whether mans married or
single. But if you have mastered the
few hints given you here you have
learned quite enough to help you deter
mine whether the fascinating stranger
you have recently met is married OIL
single.

TOGETHER

Together we'll laugh at the dawn Of
the sun;
Together we'll smile till the evening
is done,
Together, together, the day and the
weather
Are evermore fair when we two are
together.
Wen sing at the clouds and Wen cheer
at the rain,
And thunder must roar in rollick-
ing strain
AS together we tramp through the
wild wood and heather,
For the whole world rejoices when
we are together.
The sad wind upleaps in frolicsome
glee;
And from woeful willows a bright
melody
Sounds through our revel when light
as a feather
Our hearts fare the highways Of
beauty together.
Together, together, We'll laugh in the
sun
And smile till our evening of gladness
is done.
Together, together, the days and the
weather
viii always be merry when we are

Why a Weather Bureau7

Fair and colder" is not the only
prediction that the United States
weather bureau makes. The why
of its existence is founded upon the
collection of many statistics for farm
ers and the issuance of warnings
when the weather promises to be dam
gerous on land and sea. Every year
the much abused weather man fore
tells cyclones, floods and severely cold
or hot weather. His predictions are
particularly helpful to mariners.

Persons Have "CoId Feet"
In a Literal Sense When
Afraid, Scientists Find.

When we accuse Il man of being
afraid to do something, we frequently
say he has "cold feet" but few realize
the actual physiological connection
which exists between fear and the tenn
perature of the feet.
There is, however very definite
and good reason why the expression
"cold feet" came to be connected with
the emotion of fear. Worry and fear
are very closely allied in their general
meaning and their effect on human
beings. Fear is an exaggerated form
of worrying.
OF all the physical Ills which we
needlessly and unconsciously bring
upon ourselves the most are doubtless
our daily tasks and pleasures at
breathless speed is bad enough, but
to worry about future ills is far worse.
1t is well enough to look into the
future and provide to Cur best ability
against misfortuacs. but when this
foresight amounts TO seeing only the
phantoms in our path, it Is nothing
short of slow suicide.
Worry and fear have very detri-
| mental action upon certain glands OF
| internal secretion Which control our
health and pnise. Physicians are fast
accommodating important data to meas
ure and induce the healthy action of
| these glands, among which the thyroid
Is one of the most important. But il
seems impossible to hope for any
remedy that will repair all the harm
worry can do these glands.
The heart action becomes irregular
and intermittent when you worry; all
| the symptoms of heart disease appear
| the respiration is represScd: the entire
digestive tract becomes paralyzed for Il
time, and the circulation of blood to The
eNtrcmities dininisheS. The hands and
feet become actually cold 10 the touch
To tell man that he has cold feet
amounts to telling him that he lacks
courage To take Il certain step which
| he thinks he swould like or ought te
take. In consideration of the subject
he undergaes y nervous strain known
rs worry and this actually causes q
physical GOODNESS of the eXtremities.

Ladder Which Can't Slip.

A ladder which can be used with

home has been invented. 1t has two
additional legs or props, one ut each
side. This prevents the ladder from

When the ladder is on level surface
both extra legs are used, but when it

only the leg on the downhill side is
