Mrs. William Finn, an invalid resid-

storm she found the canary hopping
about on the floor around the cat,
which was too badly frightened to

London Misery Bird Seizes Money
and Afterward Hides II.
London.-Even a raven has his likes
and dislikes. At the Cardiff barracks
there is one sergeant for whom the
bird (sent home by the Second Welsh
regiment some years ago. bears a pos
tive dislike
When the gentleman In khaki with
three stripes comes along the raven
retires with hop, a skip and a jump
to a safe distance Of twenty yards.
When the sergeant moves off the ra-
ven returns to the spot he retreated
from, but if his pet aversion should
turn he gets ready to move off again.
The dislike was evidently created by
teasing, for the sergeant often gives
the sable bird his dinner.
The raven is very fond of playing
with coin. If person drops, say, a
shilling 1t is caught in the birds beak
before the coin can reach the ground.
Then, having secured his money, the
black old miser seeks an early oppor-
tunity to hide it.

HABITS THAT PROMOTE HEALTH.

Of all habits that contribute to the
health none is of greater Importance
that cleanliness. If every healthy ha-
bit is carefully analysed with an eye
single to the element of cleanliness, it
will be demonstrated that each is in
some way allied with the clean idea.
For instance, consider the happy-go-
lucky person, the optimist, the indi-
vidual who sees with the mental eye
the silver lining of every cloud; very
likely the fact that clean living is the
fundamental basis of that optimism is
patent to those who are close observers.
Remorse is not for those whose
habits are consistently clean and
healthy; the bitter fruit of habits that
are bad is the sting of disappointment.
Bad habits lead surely to uneleanli-
ness, in fact one means the other; bad
habits are unclean habits. Bad habits
do not promote health; they promote
disease always.
Good habits promote health always.
Keeping the body clean is the best ha-
bit; it is the biggest job of our entire
experience. Keeping the house clean
is a part of the bigger job of keeping
the body clean.

WOUNDED OF FRANCE
To Be TREATED HERE
Plan Formulated to Lessen Con-
geStion In Hospitals Abroad.
Preparations Under Way.

Washington.-It was reported that
French sick and wounded would be
brought to the United States to lessen
the congestion in French hospitals.
Quarantine stations in all parts of the
United States are being rapidly put
into condition to handle these patients.
The big problem to the health service
Of the country, it was said, was to
prevent the introduction of contagious
diseases from abroad.
The war in Europe is called by gov
eminent medical experts here the melt
ing pot of diseases. War, it was said,
brings an extra strain and danger, and
the perils from diseases become more
menacing than in peace time, owing to
the fact that war brings longer hours
of labor, harder work, less food, less
clothing, less warmth and more nerv-
GUS strain.
The public health service is planning
to extend its work in every part of the
country and expects the cooperation
Of the people. 1t will seek to prevent
the spread to the country of peculiarly
urban diseases. In this connection it
was remarked that before the civil war
typhoid fever was city disease. The
civil war was characterized by epidem-
les of it, and ever since it has been
rural disease.
Deaths from wounds outnumber
deaths from disease in Europe, the first
time in history that such has been the
case. 1t was pointed out also that new
er has the health of any British troops,
as an example of what modern medical
science has accomplished, been better
than that of the British army. Pau
periSm also has disappeared from Eng
land during the present war, and
browning the entire situation for the
medical scientists is the enormous
amount of research work that is being
carried on.
