Saturday School Keeping.

The order of the School Boarc
requiring schools to be taught OIL
Saturdays, in the opinion of The
Advertiser, should be recalled. We
believe that five days in school is
enough for children if the proper
instruction is given them during
that period, especially in the solid
branches of reading, writing, spell
ing and arithmetic, leaving off the
frills, they will make all the adj
vance that is necessary for grow
ing children. leaving Saturday for
q holiday for them to develop ply
sically, relieved from the mental
strain, free to run and play and ex-
ercise in the ways that nature pro-
vides for children.
Besides, there are many cases
where the children are needed on
Saturdays to work about home,
perform errands and assist their
mothers. This is very desirable
kind of home training, placing re-
sponsibilities upon the children
and SO impressing upon them that
there are duties in life as we'll as
ease and pleasure. If the children
are forced to 60 to school then this
opportunity for service and home
training is largely taken away,
which should not be the case

WIN OVER RUSSIA
FINAL DECISION OF PEACE OR
WAR RESTS WITH SOLDIERS
AND WORkMEN
Russians Told That This Is Last Offer
and if Not Accepted Teutons Will
Resume Hostilities and Take
Reval Within a Week.

Petrograd.-The Russian delegates
TO the Brest-Litovsk peace conference
have decided unanimously TO reject
the terms offered by the Germans. The
decision of the delegates was an
nounced Thursday by NJ. Kameneff. a
member of the Russian delegation. The
Germans declared the terms laid down
by them were their last offer and that
if the Russians did not accept them
hostilities would be resumed and the
Germans would capture Reval in a
week.
Final decision as to peace or war, NJ.
Kameneff said further, rested with the
congress of soldiers and workmen's
delegates which was convened here
Thursday night.
NJ. Kemeneff, who returned from
Brest-Litovsk with Foreign Minister
Trotzky, said the remainder of the
Russian delegation had stayed there
in order to avoid the appearance of an
immediate rupture.
I'VE were told" he added, that the
German terms were the last they would
offer
I'VE were unanimous that they
would be rejected. Final decision. how
ever. must rest with the soldiers and
workrnen's delegates.

Regarding the fifth point mentioned

question should be left for the pres

Regarding evacuation of all Russian

Year of Christ's Birth.

History tells us that for 800 years
the Christians had no calendar of their
own, but reckoned the years according
to the customs of the nations to which
they belonged. The Roman Christians
used the "Anna Urbis Conditiae" or
year of the founding of Rome. to count
from; others counted from the reign
of Diocletian. calling 1t ''the Era of the
Martyrs; and still others used the
calendar of the Copts of Egypt. In the
sixth century. Denis the Little, Greek
monk living in Rome. made calendar
counting from the Incarnation, the
date of which he fixed at 1888 A. u. G.
So we commonly say that Rome was
founded in T53 b. c. At the beginning
of the eighth century. the venerable
Bede pointed out that this was an his
torical blunder. But no general no
tice was taken of his criticism, and the
error has continued TO this day. His
toric facts have enabled modern schol-
airs to determine. without much pos
sibility Of doubt. the exact year of the
birth of Jesus. and to place IT at what
we call b. c.

Cold feet may be habitual. constitu-

monty they are so by habit. Tight
shoes, a sedentary life and overeating
are often guilty, asserts an authority.
When there is too little ventilation of
the feet or the stockings are too thick.
the relief isn't easy The feet are
kept warm better by wearing thin hose
and low shoes, cold baths and vigorous
massage, active exercise outdoors-es-
pecially walking-than by inactive in
door life. Frequent daily washing of
the feet helps to restore their warmth.
