all these together make a witchs

In the war zone itself a special
aggray alton is added to all these I'M

list of the defects which caused the
rejection Of nearly a third OF our

of them are preventable and decij-

comes another question. How grave

how long and difficult a task have
we cut out for ourselves?
When we scan the lists again
from this point of view. we find with
IA sense of almost relief that we have

In fact in our first reaction of re-
lief we may be half inclined toward
the attitude of the applicant for life

lily history including the ages of his
grand parents and the diseases
which caused their deaths. His re-
collection was quite clear about all
except his maternal grandfather
whose axe at death he had given
as 73 years old After cudgelling
his memory for some time as to the
cause of his death. he gave il up
with the statement: We'll. 1 can't
remember just what he died of-but
know it wasn't anything serious. -
At the head of the list comes de-
fects of eye-sight which can be met
by pushing with greater enthusiasm

our school children. Then come de-

Wasted Gasoline

The proposal to have the ordinary
highways bear, in motor traffic, much
of the burden which has been thrown
upon the railroads, is sound and prac-
teal. Yet it must not be forgotten
that during the year automobile traf-
fic has been increased some SO per
cent because Of the overcrowded and
otherwise unsatisfactory condition of
the railroads, and it was in part this
increase which led the Government
to prescribe a series of gasless Sun
days. You cannot burn your gaso-
lene and have it too. We renew our
suggestion that more effective meth
DDS be taken for the abatement of
waste-not use but sheer waste-of
gasolene. 1t amounts to millions of
gallons every month.-North Ameri-

a great shock to her mother as she
had just received a letter 1'rogn her
daughter saying she was going into
Boston to work Monday and she did
not know of her sickness until the
message came announcing Ear death.
Ruth's death is doubly sad as her

Wood Shortage

Despite the persistent appeals Of
the fuel administration in Vermont to
the people to cut wood for fuel, there
is a supply Of only 10000 cords avail
able at the present time, against a
normal need OF 100000 cords. This
shortage probably does not reflect any
Stacker sentiment on the part of the
people of the state, but it does reflect
the great lack of labor in the farming
districts. The farmers themselves
have been so busy with their crops
that they have not had time to gather
firewood. 1t is probable that the
months immediately following the
harvesting Of the crops will be devot-
ed to cutting wood for fuel, so that
the supply will come much nearer the
normal dcmand.-Barre Times.

Sneeze and Pray

The prevalence of Influenza, with
the sneezing which is an accompani-
ment of the disease, recalls to The
New York Tribune the origin of Il
habit: If you fall victim of iniu-
enza and in the midst of your sncez-
ing exclaim, "God bless you'll" after
the manner of many persons who
sneeze, you will unconsciously be re-
peating prayer that had its origin in
one of the earliest known epidemics
of influenza. This epidemic visited
the south of Europe in 491, and few
persons escaped it's ravages. It's
symptoms were severe pains in the
head and uncomfortable sneezing and
yawning. There were no health de-
partments in those days to order the
sneezers to employ a handkerchief
as a muffler to prevent the spread
of the disease germs, but neverthe-
less the sneeZing was recognized as
a peril. Upon one of the attacks of
sneezing overta6ing a victim his
solicitous friends would give vent to a
pious "God preserve you!" or Good
bless you'll" And when the sufferer
would find himself unable to con-
troll his yawns he would make the
sign of the cross in front of his
mouth. Gradually it became the prac-
tice for the sneezer himself to say
God bless you" or "God save us!"
and from making the sign of the
cross to evoke divine aid in sitting
a yawn he restored to covering his
mouth with his hand as a mark of
politeness.-Troy Times.

Poultry Keepers Have "Culling
Drive"

"Culling drives" to weed out the
improbable fowls are being con-
Quoted by poultry raisers in many
sections of the country under the di-
rection of LEGAL leaders of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
In one community in Missouri, the
local leader organization set out to
Gull the producers of every farm
possible on a certain day, and as
result If this campaign, known as a
"culling drive" selections were made
in more than 800 farm focks. This
undoubtedly brought about the sale
or the eating Of several hundreds of
hens that, had they been held over
during the winter, would have made
at least large proportion of the
focks unp1 oftable. Such campaigns
are made possible through the or
ganized local communities under the
supervision of good leaders.
