Onions a Disinfectant.

Much has been said about the vir-
tues of the onion, but few know Of Its
use as a disinfectant.
An onion cut in half and set in a
room will attract to itself all manner
of germs, leavin g the air sweet and
pure; it is therefore most valuable in
cases of infectio on. You should take
care, however, tc, burn the onion after
ward.
No part of an onion should ever
be used for domestic purposes after
having been allowed to lie about over
night. The eating of raw onions is a
great personal protective in time OF
epidemic, and if taken with cucumbers
the breath is left innocent Of any OBJ
jectionable OdOr.

JUNIOR RED

Supplies for Needy ReIsians Are Com

SIX WEEKS HEALTH CRUSADE
February the Month for Beginning on
Six Weeks Health Crusade
8s Leaflets to All Teachers
e. l.. Hoffman, County Chairman.)

Ct. L. Hoffman, County Chairman.)
The supplies for the needy Belgians
are coming just fine in most of the
several localities. This is fine. If
there are any towns or communities
that have not yet gotten busy we ask
that they do so right away and gath
er what they can 1t will all be tax
en- care and will all be very much
appreciated While our drive was to
be in January-shipmen will be lat
er on-bring on all you can spare.
The Boyer folks have shipped over
400 pounds, and have lot more gath
cred to ship, and they are still at work.
Good for Boyer and the good folks
living in that community.
Denison has shipped lately a few
hundred pounds and have nice lot
on hand. This has come in from the
country and about town in excellent
condition. A great deal of the goods
are good enough for any one to wear.
We should be pleased to report the
shipments from other places in the
county. Let us hear from the officers.
February was set by Our National
Junior officers as the beginning of a
six weeks health crusade. introduce
tory leaflets will be sent to all teach
ers right soon now. The whole health
crusade program is indeed very inter-
esting and extensive. But we are at
loss to know just what to do in re-
gard to taking up this extra work. In
view of the fact that the flu has so
delayed the regular school work it is
a question whether it is advisable to
divert our energies to special health
cOmpaign even though 1t is sorely
needed and would no doubt do a won
derful good.
We shall send out the preliminary
instructions for general use now and
then send out what specific instruc-
lions and plans are made later We
are sure that all teachers and school
authorities will cooperate heartily in
view of the fact that so much good
can be done.
Questions continue to come in ask
ing what to do with the hundreds Of
dollars of Junior Red Cross money
lying idle in the treasury in the coun-
IT, We are suggesting that this be
put to some good use.
The West Side auxiliary is consid-
ering the adoption of refugee children.
This can be done by sending the mon
ey to the Children's Bureau, Dept. OF
Civil Affairs, American Red Cross.
Where all did not contribute in q
school and the financial plan not car
ried out fully the money has been re-
turned to the pupils giving and they
have bought War Savings stamps.
We hope all the money will be put
to some good use right soon.

Beecher's Poetic Fancy.

I like best a forest Of mingled trees,
ash maple, oak, beech, hickory ana
evergreens with birches growing along
the edges of the brook that carries
itself through the roots and stones to-
ward the. willows that grow in yonder
meadow. It should be deep and SOM
Der, in some directions running off into
shadowy recesses and coverts beyond
all footsteps. In such wood there is
endless variety. It will breathe as
many voices to your fancy as might be
brought from any organ beneath the
pressure Of Handel's hands. Handel
and Beethoven always remind me OF
forests henry, Ward Beecher.

TO FILL HOLES IN PLASTER
Ordinary Wire ecreen Declared to Be
the Best Backing That Can
Be Employed.

The electrician is frequently re-
qulred, in the installation Of wires in
finished buildings, to cut holes here
and there through the piastered walls
or ceilings. Before these holes can be
replastered some sort of backing must
be put in which will take the place Of
the lath. The majority Of men make
use of old rags or paper for this pur-
pose.
The writer, in replastering holes,
uses backing of ordinary wire screen.
The wire should be cut about one'quar-
ter inch larger than the hole to be
filled, and when pressed into it will be
found to make a good, stiff backing, as
the edges hold it firmly in place. Far
less plaster will be necessary with this
backing than with the others, which
will cover the cost Of the wire screen,
and q more xorkmanlike and durable
job is obtained.-W. F. Perry, in Elec'
trio World.
Good That Is Evil Spoken OF.
Our good is often evil spoken OF
because of our thoughtlessness. The
woman who looked askance at {!
stranger who had been shown int,
her pew did not really mean to hurs
that strangers feelings, to send her
away from church that day with tbs
inward resolution never again to en-
ter it's doors, but such was the effect
Of her lack Of thought. Our good
is often evil spoken Of because of the
unnecessary harshness Of our man
ner. It is an oft-repeated excuse OF
offenders of this kind, 81 was born
with an unfortunate disposition;
am brusque, and have no tineness OF
touch; it is hereditary" This Is ar
attempt to dodge responsibility, tc
transfer the censure to our ancestors
who cannot defend themselves
Harshness of manner may be tenn
peramental, but 1t is hardly constitu
tional. 1t is an ungracious and harm
full habit, and 1t can be cured.
