CROOKED SPINES.

Before I reached my teens, I was
well acquainted with a little de-
formed girl, who could only hobble
little, and as I still think she was
fortunate in going away to heaven
before she had to feel panied over
her misfortune.
A nurse was holding her on the
piazza banisters-and the child slip,
ped out of her careless hands and
fell to the ground.
1 had lovely little cousin, who
was stricken with paralysis and d1ed
very suddenly. Nobody UNDERSTOOD
happened that a stranger remarked
upon the careleSSnesS of negro
rurses, and mentioned having seen
the child tumbled out of its BABY
carriage, and believed the fall had
something to do with the Ch1ld
sudden death.
How much of infantile paralysis
is caused by falls or accidents OF
like nature we may never know, be-
cause trifles are sometimes fatal.
| always feel deep sympathy tor
person with a crooked spine, whether
they are young or old. They are
sometimes long-lived, but they are
panied by their condition. A very
sensitive person is oftentimes made
miserable. heard learned doctor
once say that nobody ever quite re,
covers from paralysis. 1t is always
the beginning of the end.
The germ theory is Offered as q
reason for infantile paralysis, out
it may also come from a hurt, a
Some Of the Things That Happen.
The dairy experts of the national
| department of agriculture tell US
| that for every consumer who has
quart of milk delivered to his door,
| during the year will be obliged to
supply 20 new milk bottles. In
| large cities every extensive milk
| dealer is obliged to supply over IT,
| 600 new bottles in month and
| 900 a month, which are largely re-
placement stock.
In sixty Of the large cities ex.
| amined it was also discovered tna1
more than 100000 cast-off bottles
are found in the junk cans or in the
| open slums. Junk dealers are big
| rivals to the bottle makers:
Only thirty-three cities had bot
| tie exchanges-where milk bottles
| are sorted out and returned to the
owner, providing that he is a mem
Der of the exchange.
The bottling business is ever
worse than milk bottles, because al
| the bottles that are sold with Coco
| Cola, are just thrown away. L saw
| on a back yard a short time ago, ont
| hundred and ten of such bottles
| that the owner said she had tried tt
| give to somebody-and nobody fell
| like gathering them into a baske
| or wheel-barrow and carting then
| off-to a well-established bottlint
| works.
There is an old proverb, which Il
worth remembering: "A W1ltu
waste makes a woeful want"
Paris Prices
Sc, that Paris is nov
ahead of all the world in restrain
prices. Some one writes, that
high-living American cannot ge
along on less than hundred dollar
per day. One menu card, charge
S12 for a liberal order Of chicken
one peach 81. Bottle of fine win
$44. Use of napkins SO cents. TIL
prevailing high prices in Paris ar
facing the excitement known a.
high cost of living. 1t is COSTING
more than $50 per cent over regula
prices in 1914.
1t has become so Scandalous tina
American soldiers are telling VIVA
they were fleeced out of, and goo
many are remembering that the tim
has not been so long ago, that Franc
expected Germany to come over an
i filing 'em down. to where the.
were. in the early 70's. And the.
would have been washing dishes AM
eating scraps, if it had not been TO
the advent of American soldiers
These French have convenient!
short memories as it now appears
This high cost of food can b.
checked if there are proper means
employed.
