The Fourth Loan in TeoDardv.

The present week is destined to be most event
1uI one in our national history. On Monday the
whole land was wrought up to tension point by the
German peace note, hope and fear alternating in
minds to what would be the nature OF the prest
dents reply. tbs was regarded as so satisfactory
that the air looked cleared and confident composure
prevailed everywhere; but now there is the anxiety
attendant upon the success or semi-failure of the

OCTOBER.

Bending beneath his load October
comes,
With dreamy depths Of gray-blue
sky.
And smoke wreaths floating over
quiet homes,
That in the valleys lie.
Along the hills wild asters bend to
greet
The roadside's wealth of golden
rod;
And by the fences, the bright su-
machs meet
The morning light of God.
All clad in sdusted gold, the tall
elms stand
Just in the edges of the wood
And near, the chestnut sentinels
the land
And shows the russell hood.
The maple fiaunts its scarlet ban
ner where
The marsh lies clad in shining
mist,
The mountain shows in the clear
bright air
It's crown of amethyst-
All day and night a glory seems to
fold
The wide land where October
stands
With leaves of green and scarlet
brown and gold
His is the presence that with glad
ness crowns
The long. long days of toll and
caro-
His bright smile shining where No
vember frowus
With snow rhine in his hair

THE LONG AHIKE."

Il fear yes; but you see he

PoIIuting the Soil.
NOTED

Somehow nowadays little atten-
ton is given to soil pollution as a
sanitary problem. Unavoidable
PoIlutfons, as by the droppings of
animals and the carcasses of dead
animals escaping attention, are of
little Importance, since Nature de-
composes and purifies such nuis-
ances, or they are absorbed by
plant life.
The avOidahle pollutions of the
soil by man, as by excreta or sew
age and by dead bodies, are all that
concern public health. There are
great many public schools in the
south that are utterly without any
toilet conveniences, the school chi}-
dren being accustomed, as are their
parents at home, to using the fields
and woods as proper places for the
disposal of excrement This prim-
Tive habit accounts for most of the
hookworm infection that prevails
SO extensively in the south and in
parts of the north, and likewise
for most of the typhoid fever which
still disgraces southern commun-
tiles. A water-tight receptacle for
the temporary storage of human
filth is absolutely essential for pub
lie safety-but this equipment
costs from $50 to 500 and "educa-
tional" authorities are strong for
economy
A solitary instance of avoidable
soil pollution, as might happen if
the discharges from typhoid
fever case were thrown out upon
the ground or into a faulty cesspit
before time for chemical disfnfec-
ton has elapsed. has repeatedly
been traced out-too late-as the
cause of fearfully fatal epidemics
of typhoid fever in communities
whose water supply has been thus
polluted.
Rich soil swarms with millions
of beneficial germs in each cubic
inch These bacteria are essential

NJ. T. b.
Your employer can tell you, OF
course, but you do not have to fol-
low his advice. 1t might be well,
though, to give the advice some
thought. Perhaps you are old
enough and big enough TO begin
wearing your hair up. II you have
place of some Importance in the
office the change may give you a
more dfgnified appearance.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Before the
war ! was going with a young man
two years older than !, whom l
loved at that time. We became en-
gagged. Later | stopped going with
this young man and started going
with a soldier. l loved this boy
and promised to marry him as soon
as he returned. Shortly after he
left | met another soldier and he
loved me very much. l went vita
him for seven months and promised
to marry him when he returned.
Then | did not go with any one
boy steady until about three months
ago. | started going with a young
man who fell in love with me the
first time ! saw him. He asked me
to marry him before he had to go to
the army. / told him l would, but
did not really mean it,. He told me
he had to go away and would have
good news when he returned.
Yesterday he came back, took me
for an auto ride and to a nice new
house where | met his father, who
said he had built this house for us
and also said his mother would be
down~this month to the wedding.
In the meantime the first boy
says he will not break the engage
ment TO me. Both the soldiers write
to me two and three times a week.
The first says if l should marry
anyone else he will simply drift to
the bottom of the earth. l even got
a letter from his mother begging
me not to break his heartily mar
