vT,HE cause of enlarged lymphatic glands
i is In many cases tuberculosis. In the

good fighters. 1t is their business to resist

tecting It, II a silver lodges in the finger
an army of germs attacks the body through
the wound then the lymphatic glands In
the neighborhood come to tho rescue. They
capture and destroy millions OF germs
which, having entered the body through the
injured skin. seek to penetrate to the in
terior. The nearer we approach the CEN
ter Of the body the greater number Of
glands we find to oppose the germs Germs
must fight their way through long pro-
cesson of glands before they reach the
vital organs
But when germs get into the glands In
too great numbers the glands become Grip
pied and may become useless Then they
should be removed People who have en-
larged glands are sometimes In too great
hurry to have them removed. 1t must
be remembered that they are the natural
protectors of the body and when they are
removed one Of the barriers against the
enemies Of the body has been broken down.

You hear a lot about back to the

more than the lure of five cent movies,

1--WE want to devote our time and
attention now to the problem Of max
ing our girls, the mothers of tomorrow,
fit to be wives. Ninety-five per cent
OF the girls going to our schools don't
know how to cook an egg and can't
tell the difference between cooked
dough and raw dough. They don't
know how to make batch Of bread,
and, while they may be strong on mul-
tplication, they are weak on the addi-
ton of bread ingredients.
1T Is for this reason that vocational
schools are springing up everywhere.
People realize that education is TO At
a girl for her duties, and as at least
half of our girls marry the problem
Of making them ready for wifehood

day. realize, too, that education has
failed to provide for this, and the edu-
cation OF the future must deal with
this problem as its highest, most i'm

Luke McLuke Says

Any time two live as cheaply
as one it is because they are
compelled to.
The man who scolds child
because it doesn't know why it is
afraid in the dark is the same
fellow who is afraid to die, but
does not know why.
The trouble in falling in love
with girl is that you lose your
heart to her and then lose your
head over her.
Any tailor can tel you that
there amt no such animal as
early settlera" in this country.
II is a good bet that the man
who knows he doesn't know
about women knows more than
the man who thinks he doeg.
A wife may not know much
about her husbands business
Gown town. But she does know
that ne has no right to have a
stenographer better looking than
she is.
Our idea Of a wise man is one
who can get through life without
letting the world know what a
fool he is.
Any time a man goes around
with chip on his shoulder il is
safe bet that il dropped from his
head.

thing about botsev 20 be able to

There is no danger of a preach

that man self hypnotizes himself into

My advice to cure this craving Is
not to fight the appetite, but to fight
