Health Bulletin

"We women of today have a big adj
vantage in some respects. at least,
over our mothers and grandmothers.'
1t vas a young mother who was
speaking and she smiled reminiscent
ly as she spoke.
"Take the fever thermometer, as
an example. Yesterday morning my
son John tried to put one over on
me- to stay at home on the pretext of
being too sick to go to school. He
certainly did look like a sick boy
when he knew I was watching him
and suggested that he did not care
for any breakfast.
"This looked serious because, ordi-
narily, he eats more at breakfast
than the rest of the family put to-
gether. And yet I could not believe
that he was really sick. He is old
enough to have learned that / give a
good deal of attention to lack Of APP

mind doing something more attract
i've than eating. And yet | could
not take any chances.

be certain that he was not coming

"Why, no." she replied somewhat
sc%ornfully. "A really conscientious

in a hospital to be a fairly intelligent
health examiner of her own children.
Any woman can learn to use a ther-

Definition Of Gentleman

Said the vicar: mo, it is certainly
not a matter of birth yet to be quite
honest, when we use the word it does
imply a certain degree Of education
and polish. Moreover, this alone does
not make a gentleman; for that there
must be sound wood underneath the
polish. The polish is not a guaran-
tee of the soundness; there may be
nothing but veneer. A gentleman is
always conscious of the feelings, the
desires. the needs of other people, and
considers them ~instinctively first and
himself last, sensitive to all that 9th
ers suffer in his service. This may
be the heritage of birth. / believe
that the Christian religion makes gen.
tlemen out of all kinds of materials"

Babson Says High Labor
Will Keep Figures Up.

No material reduction of prices eX-
cept on articles on which an excessive
profit was made during the war will
take place for some time, in the opin-
ion of the department. OF labor. A
general economic readjustment to a
permanent higher price level may be
the result.
I'm spite of the most highly COM
petitive conditions, brought on by a
scarcity of orders in many industries,
prices have not materially receded,
excepting for raw materials said
Roger w. Babson of the department,
tonight.
"Many who have pinned their faith
in lower prices are pointing to de-
cliDes in the cost of a few raw
materials like cotton, wool and leath-
er. They forget that wearing appar-
ell and other manufactured products
before reaching the public, have gone
thru SO many hands and processes, all
requiring labor in it's broa1est sense,
that the final cost is largely deter
mined by the labor cost.
"We should not forget that IS per
cent or more of the total cost of most
commodities consists of labor in some
form or other. The price of labor
cannot come down in this country as
long rs we have the present potential
scarcit? of workers, great latent de-
mands for goods, high taxation, and
world scarcity of food.
"From the standpoint of the COM
munity interests it makes very little
difference whether the basis of ex-
change is on a high level or a low
level, that is, whether prices compu-
ted in money are high or low. The
disadvantage to the community
occurs in changing levels from low
prices to high prices or from high

LIQUID Air.

Air, like all gases, may be brought

be liquefed by any pressure what

however, and the liquid remaining IN
