BEWARE OF THE MOSQUITO.

Perhaps our first and best defense
against malaria lies in the habitud
and scrupulous use of mosquito nets
at night" says Glenn Herrick, who
presumably knows as much as there
is to know on the subject of malarial
mosquitoes.
Every one who lives in mosquito
toes are of the malarial sort or not,
knows that the ordinary wire screens
do not keep all mosquitoes out, and
that these curious little insects have
way of wedging their bodies through
meshes much smaller than their girth.
The fact that only three of the sixty
species of mosquitoes to be found in
the United States actually carry ma
laria and that only one carries yellow
fever should not make us careless in
preventing their bite.
OF course, the most effective way of
exterminating mosquitoes is that of
draining swamps or pouring oil upon
them where they cannot be drained.
But no Individual housewife or mother
can make this draining or Oiling
method effective. When mosquitoes
come, or when you go where mos
quitoes are, refrain from sitting out
doors after dark as carefully as your
grandmothers did VINO had a strange
belief that there were certain humors
in the night air destructive to health.
The night air itself is harmless
enough, but not so the mosquitoes that
do their worst work after shutdown.
And after you have retired take Prof.
Herrick's advice and sleep under a
net
The proper sort of net is one that
is made of fairly fine weave. 1t
should not be slashed up the middle,
but should be put on entire over the
top of the bed and should be so made
that in getting under it you raise it
entirely from the bottom. In the bot
tom there should be reeds or slender
Stats so as to hold it down. And, of
course, an effort should be made to
prevent even one mosquito getting I'M
der it with you when you retire.
Here is a good balm for the mos
quito bite that Prof Herrick is good
enough to give. OF course, it does

INSURANCE

Light, frothy talk can hardly be
called conversation, but it has it's uses
and is very valuable on occasion. 1t
relieves monotony, and in any event,
provided it is not ill-natured, is better
than an awkward, embarrassing 81
lence. The. touch and go of society
takers, the small talk of social inter
course, has it's place in the4repertory
of the skilled conversationalist as
well as more serious subjects.
Learn to converse. Know some
thing worth knowing, but also have
in mind a few jokes. Practice telling
a funny story. Learn how to listen as
if you are really interested in what
is said to you. Try to please. But, at
the same time, insist upon talk that
is, from some point of view, worth
while.

THE CHILDREN's HOUR.
WHAT HE COULD DO.

Two boys left home with just
money enough to take them through
college. They both did well at col
lege, took their diplomas in due time.
and got from members of the faculty
letters to a large shipbuilding firm
with which they desired employment.
When the first boy was given an
audience with the head of the firm,
he presented his letters.
What can you do?' asked the presi-
dent.
Il should like some sort of clerk
ship
well, sir, / will take your name
and address, and il we have anything
of the kind will write to you.''
The other boy then presented him
self and his papers.
What can you dor the president
asked him.

HOW TO SAVE THE DROWNING
QUICKLY.


Forty-four per cent. of the deaths by
drowning are due to the unskilled eff
forts of one person to help another.
These deaths can be avoided by popu-
lar education in proper methods in
rescuing.
When a cry for help is heard, I'M
less the case is one in which not a
second can be spared, one should not
attempt to rescue while fully clothed.
At least the heavier outer garments
and the shoes should be removed.
The few seconds REQUIRED for this will
be adequately compensated for in the
greater speed the rescuer will be able
to make when once in the water
One should never try to swim up
stream to drowning person, as valu-
able time is lost in fighting the cur
rent Running is much faster than
swimming, therefore, one should run
upstream until he reaches a point
well above the person in trouble. He
can be throwing off his clothes as he
runs.
The victim should always be ap-
preached from the rear. He has much
less opportunity in this way, if he has
become crazed with fear, to clutch his
rescuer, and drag him down, thus
hindering the work of rescue, if not
actually causing both to lose their
lives. This advice holds good whether
the victim seems rational or not; one
never can tell what a drowning per-
son may do.

MAKE THE BEST OF 1T.

Beethoven played divinely once on
an old harpsichord, some of the keys
of which were silent. He had the
high skill to avoid the bad keys and
elicit splendid harmonies from the
others.
1t is the bad workman who quarrels
with his tools. In word. nine-tenths
of success is in the worker and not
more than one-tenth in the equipment.
Few indeed are the people who are
privileged to work with good instru-
ments and under ideal conditions.

A GIRLS CHIEF CHARM.

There are some girls born with that
pleasing attribute charm But
whether the girl who has been denied
this gift at birth can acquire it in
later years is question of interest
to all. 1t would seem almost incredi-
BILE that the girl with the homely
face, with probably no redeeming
feature about it, not even a Winsome
little dimple, which I rather think
would only emphasize still more the
homeliness of the rest of the face,

|OM|NOUS NOTE IN
GERMAN SITUATION

Washington. Jan. s0.----Danger or
complications with Germany over
marine problems seemed to authori-
ties today to be nearer than for
months past, Her capture OF neu-
trails and making them prisoners on
the steamer Yarrowda~, plus the
strong trend of German sentiment
toward wider summarizing, made
these possibilities more ominous,
The official German statement re-
counting that the missing Yarrow-
dale. with more than lS0 souls
aboard had been brought into har-
Dor" as a prize---wlth number OF
neutral prisoners--gave rise to a
graver concern than anything that
has happened In months OF ups and
downs of critical relationship.
The government does not know
that Americans are among the pris-
oners. but II Is possible some are
thus held.
Germany explained the neutrals
had been made prisoner in cases
where they had taken pay from EN-
ployment on armed enemy vessels,
This involves broad questions or
armement. but even more so the In
fringement upon neutral rights by
going so far as to make such sub
iects prisoners OF war.
The whole problem is tied up arso
with the peace situation.
Insofar as officials reveal. they re-
gard Germany rs likely to go even
more vigorously into the war than In
the past. because OF the entente re-
ply to the Wilson peace note.
German sources say Il Is unbeliev-
able that Germany's submarine war
fare will lbe so extended as to involve
America. In answer to this. Ameri-
can authorities say that a
sharper. broader warfare very
likely could not avoid infringing on
American rights.

| Maryland Council of Defense, OF
which Mrs Francis NJ. Sanderson is
| chairman, has decided to have an
| Uncle Sans Shelf Week." from
November 18th to 18th, inclusive,

Board to have the women in the
counties who desire to contribute,
send their offerings, through their
county chairman, direct to the
| camps, such as Camp Meade, Fort
Howard, Fort McHenry, to men sta
toned in or near Maryland ports, and
to the needy of their county The
county chairman is requested to see
that the name and address of the
donor is on each article donated and
to have a list kept of all the women
contributing, the amount and name
of article contributed. This list to
be mailed to the undersigned, as
chairman of this special work. This
is important to guard against con-
tamination, and to keep record for
publication.
AS shipping facilities are greatly
retarded at this time, please start
the work of tabulating the gifts
promptly, SO that the gifts may be
ready for shipment as soon as posi-

Mr.. Editor:
Permit word about the part that
Zion NJ. E. Church is taking in the
Food Conservation Campaign. The
pastor received circular letter from
the Commission in Washington, re-
questing that the membership anC
congregation be asked to cooperate
in nine-weeks' food conservation
campaign, beginning Oct. 2Sth, anC
ending Dec. 29th. Specific directions
were given for the carrying out of
this campaign. A committee was to
be organized to make complete
canvass of the church, and solicit the
help of the entire constituency in the
movement. Cards were provided by
the Commission for the first week s
canvass. The other eight weeks sup
ply the church was asked to furnish
The cards were to be distributed anG
collected each week. Conservation
was asked along three lines. First,
to have seven wheatless meals, with
no bread or cereal made entirely OF
wheat -four. Second. to have four
teen meatless meals, with no beef.
mutton or pork. Third, to have q
wasteless meals. This was to be the
program FOR each week. The house
wife receiving the card was asked tC
fill in at the end of each week the
extent to which she had conserved.
The cards were to be canvasseC
every week and the totals reported
to the Food Conservation Commits
sion in Washington, for which week
ly report cards were sent. This is
no scheme contrived by our church,
as some people have supposed. We
are simply endeavoring to carry out
the request of the government.
We understand that every minis
ter of every denomination has re-
ceived the same letters and instruc-
tons as our minister has.
