The factory building, which will be 800 feet by 100, will have 75,0OO or more feet of floor space. The equipment used will be tho last word in factory appliances and will cost about q quarter of million. There will be a cooling plant for water with q capacity of 2S,0 ,000 daily, the use of coal may he dispensed with as fuel oil may be used to supply heat and power.
 The factory and separate power plant will cost another $25O,OO0.

The city health department has is
sued a warning against a possible cpl
demic of typhoid fever. Proper care
in eating and drinking should mini
mize the danger. Many cases of
typhoid fever can be traced to drink
ing well water. incubation against
the disease is declared to have proven
most successful in prevention. Typhoid
fever resulted in 1O.11S deaths, or 1914
per 100000 in ~ states. during 1917.
The mortality rate from this cause
has shown a remarkable reduction
since 1900. when it was $50. the pro-
portional decrease amounting to 80 per
GENT. This highly gratifying decline
demonstrates in a striking manner. il
is claimed, the efficacy of improved
sanitation and of the modern method
OF prevention-the use of the anti
typhoid vaccine.

the Professor work lots of sums on
the blackboard, and he claimed any

them up with plenty of plusses and
minuses and equals. and so forth. But
he never said anything, SO far as

They looked at each other in sur

Of them to stuff a dozen Scarecrows.

The Tin Woodman began to turn
over the rubbish with the handle of
his axe; and, sure enough. what they
had first thought only worthless pa
pers were found to be all bills of varf-
Gus denominations, which the mis-
chievous Jackdaws had for years been
engaged in stealing from the villages
and cities they visited.
There was an immense fortune lying
in that inaccessible nest; and Tips
suggestion was, with the Scarecrow's
consent, quickly acted upon.
They selected all the newest and
cleanest bills and assorted them into
various piles. The Scarecrow's left
leg and boot were stuffed with five
dollar bills; his right leg was stuffed
with ten dollar bills, and his body so
closely fitted with fifties. one-hun-
dreds and one-thousands that he could
scarcely button his jacket with COM

HEART AND BEAUTY

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have gone
with a boy since September and he
seems to be awfully nice except that
sometimes he curses, but not always.

the way about him except that he
went with another girl for a. while.
like him very much and IYdo not
wish to give him up.
One of the boys in my room said
he was not good enough for me to
go with. What shall / do?
BROWN EYES.
Have your mother give you her
opinion of the boy. She can help you
decide what to do. II he only swears,
you can help him TO get over that
bad habit. He should certainly con-
troll himself in that respect if he ex-
poets you to remain his friend.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Will you
please give some of your good advice
to a girl who is engaged to a young
man, but who loves a married man?
Should she stay single or seek hap
piness with one whom she only re-
spects? THANKFUL.
She should not marry the man she
respects but does not love. Time
will help her to overcome her love for
the married man and will doubtless
teach her greater love for another
man. She sh ould break her engage
ment now and let time straIghtcn out
her problem.
Only happiness can come to her by
doing the right thing. It would not
be right for her to marry without
love or to permit love from a mar
ried man.
