GARAGE TOOL ARRANGEMENT
Good idea to Number Each Article and
Keep Them In Racks Placed
Along the Wall.

An admirable idea in the arrange
ment Of tools In the home garage is
to give each tool a number, which Is
painted on 1t. The same number is
painted on the wall or rack in the
place where the tool belongs. In this
way it is a simple matter to return
each tool to its proper place SO that
It Is ready when 1t is next needed.

Dead Air and Disease.

Or. Leonard Hill, whose experiments
few years ago proved TO the world
that 1t is not impure air but still, hui
mid, dead air that induces disease, de-
livered recently a lecture on infant
mortality before the Royal Society of
Arts. In this he said that babies
died from being too much clothed as

They should not be kept too warm or

times to be quite naked and should
be played with just to give them ex-

Feigns Suicide to Win Girl, But Pump
Foils Plan.
Will Carter, a New Orleans
boy, feigned suicide in Bogalusa
because his sweetheart declined
to become his Christmas bride.
He went to her home and plead
ed his case to no avail and then
left alone smeared iodine on his
lips and played like death was
upon him. The girl did not
yield to his pleadings even then,
but sent for doctor who admin
istered an antidote and subjected
Carter to a stomach pump as a
matter of safety. Carter was
not hurt by the iodine, but the
antidote and stomach pump left
him slightly limp.

Sugar Prices Wide Range in New Or
leans.

New Orleans is puzzled over
the increasing range in the price
of sugar. This commodity, all
of which is practically the same
grade. is varying from II to 20
cents pound.
The price sterdily rising gro
GERS explain this by the fact that
the standard grade is rapidly be-
coming exhausted and that they
are forced to buy the Louisiana
product. Under the government
regulation the price allowed the
planter for this is II and Is cents
a pound. By the time the gro
ceries get the product the price
has increased to 20 and Fl cents
a pound. In the downtown dis
trict the price is ranging from
II to % cents a pound retail.
Grocers fortunate to have a
large supply of the standard
sugar on hand are still able to
| sell at the IL cent price, and in
| several places where sugar re.
tails at this price the next gro.
GER in the neighborhood may be
selling for 20 cents.

The After math of the Strike.

The evil that strikes do lives
after them. 1t will be several
weeks yet before normal produc-
tick is restored. Thus the coal
famine is by no means ended
with the end of the strike. 1t
will be necessary to continue con-
servation measures in most Sec
tons of the country for some
time yet, with their attendant
hardship. The six weeks lost
out ST the miners working time
cannot be made up quickly.
Current needs usually take
more coal than the mines can
produce in the winter time.
With the accumulations used up,
the mines will have to hustle to
satisfy the daily demand. There
will be a shortage of fuel all win
ter, with most communities liv'
ing a hand-to-mouth existence sc
far as coal is concerned. This
will necessarily retard many in
dustries and inconvenience mil
lions of people.
1t will not be altogether bad
however, if from the unpleasant
experience the public gains ar
adequate notion of the costlines'
and uselessness of strikes, ant
does some hard thinking on tn,
subject of establishing the nee
essary policies and machinery tt
make such strikes impossible,

There has never been more

hest of the Governor of the State.
1t is not a mere accident, nor
coincident that every one of the

How comes it that every member
of the State Board of Health and
its number of employees the Con-

one hundred employees, the State
Board of Engineers and all ofits
employees, the Board of Affairs
which alone expends about $780,
