and his mental operations are often
clouded thereby. He is more than like

This intensifies his mental backward

But Notwithstanding is net only
harmful for the breather, but he be-
comes a great menace in the commu-
nifty. Mouthbreathers have habit
of blowing when they talk, and often
they puff with slight exeEtion. In
thus blowing or putting they throw out
dropiets of moisture laden with bac-
terra. Nature gave man nose. the

a writer. Even in towns and villages

As the fowls are, or should be, ex-

AcRlly are rape and oats. Many poul-
ary breeders provide these, but make
aHly one sowing and that about April
and May. Repeated sowings for a
regular succession of fresh, tender

Dispatch. This decorative paper for
walls seems to have first appeared In
Europe toward the end Of the seven

France by overseas traders, and the

coverings "pagoda papers," and 1t soon
became the fashion to have at least

idea of initiating tapestries. He had
fanciful drawings made in the tapestry
style on large pieces Of paper pasted
together in about the size of tapes
