through their veins. The earth and
all that is on or round about It is the
slave of youth. No wonder the young
feel at their best and have no thoughts
save having jolly time while the
dear old season lasts. MY seamstress
(whose daughter is working in q de-
partment store) recently complained
to me: 81 don't like winter, but my
daughter Jennie does. She's scarcely
home one evening all winter long.
These are the engagements she has for
next week: Monday she's going skat-
ing with a crowd of young folks Tues
day she's going to a mistletoe party
at the home of girl friend Wednes-
day night to dance; Thursday to the
movies. Friday to a molasSes candy
pull Saturday night, sleighing, and
Sunday, God willing, I'll see that she
goes TO church. Each and every week
that follows is crowded with some sort
of entertainment"
Young folks have the time of their
as these that people become acquaint-
ed. Girls may go to these places by
themselves, and so may boys. There
introductions take place. They dance,
dine, chat and make merry. Each
young man plays the gallant-selects
some girl to take home. If he has
struck the fancy of the girl and she
likes him as we'll as anyone she has
met, she may invite him to call. Thus
romances begin. He accompanies her
to a few dances, takes her out skating
and sleighing few times. 1t is then
the audacious youth comes boldly for
ward to the parents. announcing that
the daughter cares for him. He asks
permission to pay court TO her. with
view to matrimony. Summer love
affairs, romances, hang on indefinitely.
Winter love affairs eliminate in
speedy marriages. What's the rea-
son?
Well, don't know, unless it's in the
air. Instead of bewaiing the great
number of festivities that crowd into
the lives of the young, one should be
glad that they can crowd SO much en-
joyment into winter evenings. Youth,
joy, love and laughter are their due.
They traverse youths pathway but
once in a lifetime. Those who have
not had n happy youth-time thus far,
should start in at once to make up for
lost time. One cannot have too much
rational enjoyment while time is
young.

friends or strangers. There are time
and place for all things. 1t is not
the time to call the girl of his choice
"dearie, sweetheart "duckie" or
LOWE when there are others within
earshot. Nor should he put her to
maidenly shame by thrusting an un-
expected caresS upon her. Let no
young couple imagine that they are
not observed wherever they may ap-
pear in public. A nice-looking youth
and maiden are sure to be the eynosure
of all eyes, admired as long as they
depOrt themselves in accordance with
good manners. When they deyiate
from this they are made fun of. They
are then pointed out to other couples
who might be foolish eHough to follow
their examples.
Even the most exacting sweetheart
should not expect her lover to be more
than polite to her in the company of
others. His lovemaking will be all
the more appreciated in her little par
lor, with only some few of her home
folks by. 1t is great to have tender
heart, but It should not be worn on
ones sleeve "for DAVIS to peck at" as
the old saying goes.

Stale Bread.

An interesting study has just been
made of how and why bread grows
stale. Contrary TO popular impression,
staleness in bread is not merely a
drying out. Bread will grow stale if
kept in Il damp box. The stating is
due to the fact that the starch grains
in the bread harden and dry, even if
the air is moist, the moisture going
over to the grains of gluten. The nu
tritive constituents of the starch are
changed from soluble condition to a
more insoluble one. All this is the
exact opposite of the process that goes
on in baking. As result of the char
acter of the baking process bread may
be kept perfectly fresh for "a hours
by keeping it at a temperature of los
degrees Fahrenheit. The digestibility
of stale bread is due to the fact that it
has to be thoroughly chewed before it
can be swallowed.

Treatment of Wounds,

If the wound is touched by the hand
billions of pus germs will be carried
into it. If washed with water even
more germs will be carried into the
wound and not only that but the
deep parts of the wound which previ
ouSly no germs had reached will have
billions of germs carried to them.
Therefore do not handle or wash
wound. Even if an antiseptic solu-
ton is used, it will carry pus germs
from the skin and deeper than they
have been before and no antiseptic
such as bichloride of mercury can be
used strong enough TO kill these germs,
as it will also destroy the cells of the
body and so make them less able to
fight the germs. Peroxide is specially
dangerous in deep wounds as it carries
pus germs everywhere and is not
strong enough to destroy them.
Placing a clean dressing, which means
a dressing that has been steriliZed sur
gically (such as the Red Cross dress
ing) on the wound will introduce no
more germs and will not injure the
delicate tissues of the body exposed in
the wound. Moreover, the flow of
blood and blood serum (the liquid part
of the blood) will be in the direction of
the dressing, so the germs will be con-
stantly going out. This, therefore. is
the way to take care of wound.-Red

BAD HABITS TO BE AVOIDED
Incorrect Pastures, Sitting or Stand
ing, Lead to Ills Which Creep
Upon the Individual.

The significance of the postures hab
itually assumed by individuals is the
subject of serious consideration by
physicians at present. Exhaustive in
yestigations seem to Indicate pretty
conclusively that bad postures, such as
STOPPING shoulders, contracted chests
or protruding abdomens, are not mere
~ the result of careless habits in the
individual, but are due to some slight
physical deformity which should be
corrected. Generally speaking, persons
who have bad posture habits are not
very robust.
Everyone has observed that persons
who are fatigued drop into bad pos
lures temporarily; and there are many
examples of unusually robust persons
with whom bad posture was chronic.
Abraham Lincoln, for example, stopped
badly; but he was very powerful and
never sick. Nevertheless, tendency
to bad posture undoubtedly adds to
the trend toward weakness and chronic
disease" particularly in individuals
who are not naturally rugged.

PRUNE OUT ALL DEAD LIMBS

Dead limbs take great deal of wa

Start a Snail Farm.

All snais are edible and nutritious.
Even the common garden snail, though
insipid, is as nourishing as calf's foot
jelly.
There is large white-shelled snail
called Helix pomatia that IS commonly
eaten by connoisseurs in the South of
England, while all over France, Italy
and Spain several species are used for
food. In France there are many small
snail farms which yield good profit
to their owners. In the French and
Italian quarters of New York snails
may be bought. either alive or cooked,
and ut most of the French restaurants
they are served "escargots farcisn be-
ing the most usual form of the dish.
Snails are easy to raise in large
quantities. They need lime for making
their shells, but they do not have to
be fed, as they can find their own
food, which is the leaves of many
plants. They eat nothing else.
