breathing, irritating cough, head
ache and failing eyesight, He has
lost much weight and is very weak.
The cough, caused by a bron-
chits of the finest capillary bron-
chial tubes, is due to the chlorin
poisoning. The other symptoms are
more dependent on the trinIroto-
lUene poisoning. This trinitroto-
luene poisoning is about the same
in effect as analin poisoning in gen.
eral. Analin is derived from coal
tar, and from it are produced a vast
number of chemicals and drugs and
dyes. Acetanilide, the pain-killer
dope in most alleged cold cures,
grippe cures and headache medi-
cines, is such a product. Acetani-
Tide poisoning is similar to trinitro-
tolUene poisoning.

Contagious end Infectious.
Please explain the difference be
tween contagious and infectious
disease to settle a dispute in our
class. E A. S.
Answer-A contagious disease is
/ communicated through personal
contact, and an infectious disase
may be communicated indirectly, in
water, food, or by animal or insect
carriers. A contagious disease is
necessarily infectious, but an infec-
tiouS disease may not be contag-
ious. Malaria is an example of an
infectious disease which is not con-
tagious; so is yellow fever. These
diseases are conveyed from person
to person only by certain breeds
of mosquitoes.
Let the Baby Sleep Alone.
Kindly tell me whether it is

so for a month without apparent i'll

an outrage. Baby does not awaken
all night, and I would hear the
slightest sound if she did
MRS. E. D. B.
Answer-It is best for the baby
to sleep in a separate bed and if
possible a separate room.

No Excuse For High Prices.

Perhaps it is too much to expect Of human nature
refuse to make money when it is easy to do so
This suggests thoughts the high prices of milk
and of butter cheese and eggs and incidentally on
the inevitable working of the law of supply and de-
mand and the unsound doctrine of price-fixing
These dairy products have been undergoing period
of initiation that has brought Joy the farmers and
woe to the consumers The farmers, the shippers
and in fact, all who have had a hand in the dis
tributon of these commodities. except those whose
profits rigidly regulated, have. to a mere on
locker been profiteerng. They may have been with
in the law, but they have been putting it Just
the Patriotism with them is like their religion
something not 70 be mixed with business
The foundation upon which these high prices are
supposed 10 be reared is the high cost Of feed,
whereas matter OF fact, feed is cheap. Even
80 cents bushel cheaper than it was during
the summer. for the new corn crop ranks among the
largest and the basis of quality is actually much
larger than the record crop Of last year Barley is
a large crop and as it cannot be used for mailing
there is all the for feed By government edict

The Language We Might Have Spoken

American soldiers now CHARTERED in Alsace-Lor
raine and who in = very short time have been able
TO acquire fairly good knowledge of the French
language find that in these provinces it is of little
use to them. for the reason that German is univer
sally spoken. The explanation of this is that i'm
medtately after Germany came into possession in
1871 she commenced an attack upon the French Ian
guage and peremptorily suppressed it in all schools
and colleges
German was made the language of justice and ad-
ministration French being absolutely forbidden eV-
eryvhere the objection going the extent Of pro-
ibiting parents giving their children French chris
tan names Little French boys and girls caught
using their native tongue at play were subjected to
severe punishment.
It is little wonder that for this and many other
indignfties France has had an nveterate hatred Of
the Prussian.
But this action in Asace is in direct keeping with
the German plan. From the very beginning foreign
languages have been detested by the Germans, and
ghenever he has had the power, he has not only
purged foreign wordsfrom the German language but
gIoried in bein able to rid German soil of any for
efgn tongue
The case of Posen-Ger1nan Poand-is another
.otabe instance There the Polish language is ban
ished from churches and schools. Polish women on
marrying Germans, forbidden to evea use their
native tongue again and the teaching of Polish to
their children IS penal offense
The postal authorities forbidden to deliver
a letter addressed in the Polish language and the
inscription on the tombstone of d Pole dying in his
native land must be in the hated language of the
oppressor
This is how the kaiser keeps the fires of friend
ship burning between himself and the millions liv-
ing in captured territory. One asks ths question:
What would have happened had this tyrant's dream
of world power been realized? Surely thing
could be forecast and that the world wide ascend
ency of the German tongue. Happily for all the
Anglo-saxon language is destined to supplant the
German.

If she lets you come to see her
and does not make excuses to keep
you away, you may be confident
that she likes you and means what
she says. Respect her wishes in
the matter and do not make it hard
for her by insisting.

my name still be Mrs. Jones or
would my name be changed to my
maiden name?

Your name would be Mrs. Jones
unless you made application to use
your maiden name again.

it would be wise for me to write to
him, or do you think I am too little?

Passing Years Bring New Needs.

1t is reflection the who framed the
constitution of Illinois 1870 to say that
constitution needs some revision. Their work
done nearly fifty years ago and Illinois has
changed from state of 100000 population to
of 100000 Conditions of living and the methods
of doing business are very different that certain
changes highly advisable This is the principal
reason, doubt, that there is such unanimity of
opinion about the proposed constitutional conven-
ton. The Democratic and Republican parties have
endorsed the convention plan in their
tions Governor Lowden, Ex-Governor Dunno,
judges of the supreme court and lower court,
officials, lawyers, bankers business and professional
up and down the state have given their approval
to the plan. The fact is that all citizens who
given subject thought realize changing
ditions strongly suggest change in the constitu-
ton which the business and general relationships

With head bent and lips tightly
compressed, Matilda hurried swift
ly past the camp, down a steep ella =
road and on to the bayou bridge
that led to rural delivery box No.
50, on the other side.
1t was a gusty, disagreeable day.
At intervals the rain whipped down
in sheets, alternately slackening TO
la sticky, penetrating drizZle. The
wind tore at the willow branches
that dipped into the stream, and the
waters of the bayou writhed under
its violence
Half way across the bridge an
aggressive gust suddenly seized the
girls umbrella and flung it vicious
Iy into the turbulent black water
Turning involuntarily, with a fu-
tile grasp at the flying parachute,
Matilda abruptly twisted her foot
sideways, catching the heel of her
boot in a crack between the planks.
Just then an angry cloudburst broke
relentlessly upon the unprotected
head of the hapless prisoner, and
with hands tightly gripping the
railing of the bridge, she waited,
with all the patience she could com
mand, for its fury to subside
Presently the wind ceased. the
rain shraEK back into the clouds,
and the lead of the sky broke up
in patches of blue and silver. With
renewed hope, Matilda scanned the
road from east TO west And then,
