I've Wished Time Away.

Since can remember and all through my
life,
With its pleasures and sorrows. its trou-
bles and strife,
There's something we wanted. must
wait day by day,
To come by 1t quickly, I've wished life
away.
How in my schooldays envied the men.
And wished I were grown up. to be just
like them.
I was SO impatient could brook no de-
lay;
The time passed so slowly, wished life
away.
When grew to a man. and I became
married,
With family around me. and LIES bur-
den carried,
So hard did ! labor, I scarcely could stay
TIL my days work was done: wished
life away.
And now in my old age look back with
tears
On the time that is past. fully three score
Of years.
I'm growing quite feeble. my hairs turned
to gray,
Ny races about run; I've wished life
away.

Says College Women Will
Have Big Part in the Work
Of Rebuilding the World

Any young woman who neglects the
opportunity In this war time to pre-
pare for the rebuilding Of the world
will be a world Stacker, in the opinion
Of Miss Ada Rice, secretary of the
Kansas State Agricultural College
Alumni association.
Miss Rice points out that at the
close Of the war there must be a re-
building of national and international
life. This will call for the best quail
ties Of leadership and the best train
ing, and in this work the college wom-
an can play a part Of great Importance.
College women must not wait until
the end Of the war for service, how
ever, states Miss Rice. 1.-THE time is
now at hand" she declares, when the
world must depend upon woman for
carrying forward progressive move
| ments." She urges college women to
take an active interest and perform
active service in the big movements
now In progress.

Cure for "Strawberry Nose"
Found in Simple Operation

That most distressing Of facial de-
formities which doctors call rhino-
phyma, characterized by a much-swol-
len and Redeemed tip of the nose, max
ing this look like huge strawberry
or a piece of cauliflower that has been
dipped In beet juice, may be cured by
simple operation. Sir William Mil
ligan of the Royal infirmary, Manchcs-
ter, describes this in the London
Lancet.
The operation consists in cutting
Off all the hypertrophied tissue, while
the nasal passages are kept extended
with absorbent wool in order to pre-
serve their contour. The raw surface
is covered with two thin CRAFTS Of
skin cut from the patients thigh, over
which sheet of gold leaf is placed
and dry dressing fastened with ad-
hesive plaster. 1t should be possible
to remove the dressing In five days.

Rapid Evaporation of Water
Secret of Success of The

temperature inside. On dry, hot days
a temperature of so degrees has been
known to be obtained in the cooler.
This is the way to build it:
Make screened case 81 feet high
with the other dimensions IL by Is
inches. If solid top is used, simply
place the water pan on this. Other
wise fit the pan closely into the open
ing Of the top frame and support 1t
by one-inch cleats fastened to the in
side Of the frame. Place two nova
Bile shelves in the frame, IL to IL
inches apart. Use biscuit pan IL by
IA inches on the top to hold the wa
ter, and where the refrigerator is to
be used indoors have the whole thing
standing in large pan to catch any
drip. The pans and case may be
painted white, allowed to dry, and
then enameled. A covering Of white
canton flannel should be made to Al
the frame. Have the smooth side Out
and button the covering on the frame
with buggy or automobile curtain
hooks and eyes, arranged so that the
door may be opened without unfasten
ing these hooks. This can easily be
done by putting one row Of hooks or
the edge Of the door near the latch
and the other just opposite the open
ing, with the hem on each side ex
tended far enough to cover the crack
at the edge Of the door, so as to keeI
out the warm, outside air and retair
the cooled air. This dress or cover
ing will have to be hooked around the
top edge also. Two double strips one
half the width of each side should b.
sewed on the top Of each side cover
ing, and allowed to extend over abou
21s or inches in the pan of water
The bottom Of the covering should ex
tend into the lower pan.
Place the refrigerator. in a shady
place, where air will circulate arount
it freely. If buttons and buttonhole!
are used on the canton flannel instead
Of buggy hooks, the cost will be re
! duced.

Wise and Otherwise.

Look out for things that won't bear
looking into.
Going to law Is often a preliminary
to going broke.

they want to borrow something.
Stocks usually recover from a fall
