CAT HELPS FIND THE LEAK
ineenius Plumber Demonstrates Feline,
With Aid OF Catnip, Is Worth
Having Around.

"There are more ways than one to
kill a cat" says an old proverb, and
"there are more ways than one to use
a cat" is the new reading. Here Is an
illustration:
A plumber was called upon TO locate
supposed leak in a ten-story tene-
ment house. After a days cogltation
and sundry profitless soundpgs and
snifiings, he finally hit upon a plan.
He went to a drug store and bought 10
cents worth of fluid extract Of valerian
commonly called catnlp. Then he
took the elevator to the top floor and
poured the valerian diluted with water
down the drain. Half an hour later he
took a cat and visited each floor In
turn.
The cat exhibited no interest until a
room in the seventh story was reached.
Then, with bound, It sprang from the
plumbers arms and began to paw the
wall, mewlng loudly. A hole was made
In the wall, and there, sure enough,
was the leak.
That plumber deserves TO make a
fortune from his Ingenuity.

conflagation was caused by the explo-

Greenhouse lettuce now on the
market.
We hear so little complaint about
the hardships we wonder just how many
of our townspeople are living on the
prescribed three pounds of sugar per
month. If you are not doing it you
should, though you will probably find
it the most difficult thing the war has
asked of you. Personally we would
give up the whole months supply for
loaf of white bread such as mother
used to make, but white bread is taboo
entirely, SO we feed that appetite on
memory only.
While people are complaining about
the abundance of snow and the extreme
hard winter, it may be well for them
to remember that plenty of snow and a
hard winter is seldom followed by a
poor crop year and that the coming
season promises to be year of bounti-
full crops, While some of the pessimists
may be arguing that the weather shows
that the kaiser is right and that God is
on bis side, the crops of the coming
summer are likely to prove them and
the kaiser both wrong.
