THERE rs A SCARCITY
OF MEN, GIRLS SAY

Sweet Sixteen writes: Girls who
are down-hearted wish your kind aid.
In town and surrounding country
places, no desirable young men re-
main. We are a bunch of six girls
and have to beau each other. We tried
to be our own jolly selves but we fail
to attract any interested ones. Places
here have all Old maids; so we are
uneasy. Would you pack up and go
lonely to city to better ourselves p
Men are not SO few In western
towns. If you found employment
there, men might not be at such a
premium Wait till you are little
older, before fault-fnding for the
males.

when a man is actually in love. His
every word and act tell the tale. He
Is anxious to win the object of his
love. It is the cold pretender who up

The following information is given
out by the Committee of Food Supply
of the State Council of Defense in re-
gard to tomatoes.
There is probably no succulent veg
etable which may be served in SO
many different ways as tomatoes and
if the housewife has a good supply
put up for winter use she may COM
graduate herself for she has a means
of making palatable the cheaper
cuts and left overs" of meat and fish.
She has also foundation for soups
and salads and she may use them as a
vegetable or in combination with
other vegetables in scalloped dishes.
There are almost endless ways of US
ing tomatoes
To make them even more desirable
from the housewives point of view
they are liked in some one way at
least by all members of the family
and their acid and mineral properties
make them a healthfu1 food.
They are easily and successfully
canned. sailed and picked; may be
used ripe and green; and at certain
seasons are usually inexpensive

The Spanish war developed the fact that the mosquito was the carrier of yellow fever writes F. w. Nelson in the National Geographic Magazine. Another type of mosquito Is known to be the carrier of malaria. The Flu ropean war has brought to almost uni versal public knowledge the fact that body lice are carriers of the deadly typhus and many diseases are known to be carried by other insects.
 Among these deadly carriers of death and destruction none equals the house rat in It's tremendous drain on the prosperity of nations by Its de struction of food and other property, while at the shme time It is the dead Hest of all to mankind as a disease carrier. Within historic times 1t has caused the death of untold millions of human beings through its dissemi- nation of the bubonic plague.
