For a Rock Island Zoo.

The Kiwanis club has rallied to the support
of plan for starting ZOO in one of Rock
Islands parks and it looks as if something
might be accomplished Certainly the chance
to get a couple Of buffalo at slight expense as
n nucleus TO collection of animals is not to
be lightly passed up.
The city has exceptionally good park facili-
ties. A ZOO would help advertise them not
only abroad but among Rock Islanders, who
10 far have not availed themselves fully Of the
opportunities for recreation that are afforded.
No animal is more appropriate to start ZOO
with than the buffalo, which is associated in
|eserybody's mind with the Indian and the ira

By all means. let's get couple CT buffalo
and make plans to add to the collection as

In almost the identical company with which

Fate was with her, for the next
morning was cold and windy. She
was up early and with her coat on
and an attractive tam, which was
arranged becomingly over one ear,
she stood in the doorway, hidden
from view by curtain which was
drawn partly aside. She watched
the pedestrians as they passed,
carefully picking their way along
the icy sidewalk.
Suddenly the curtain at the door
was drawn together and Elizabeth
Martin came quickly out of her
house, just as young man came
Into view in front OF his own house,
next door. They both reached the
end OF Elizabeth's walk at the same
moment, and their eyes met. AS
Elizabeth turned the corner her foot
slipped on the ice, and with a low
cry she fell forward. Allen Morse
threw out his arms and caught her,
holding her closely for a brief mo-
mentA but long enough to bring a
burning flush to the girls cheeks.
All right?" he asked, simply.
She thought she was, she told
him, and after thanking him, she
tried to free herself from his grasp.
But he had mistaken the CULVER in
her voice for one Of pain, and kept
a firm hold on her arm. AS she
stepped forward she swayed a lit
tie, then sank back in his arms,

around her, he led her back into

was resting comfortably before he
left her, with q casual remark that
he would drop in in the evening

door close she quickly arose and

@. Is the compensation which
is paid by the government to dis
abled- soldiers subject to income
tax? T. S. C.
A. It is not taxable. In fact, all
money paid out by the bureau of
war risk, including compensation,
insurance, and allotment, is free
from tax.
@. How many school teachers
are there in the United States?
A. NJ.
A. The federal bureau of edu-
cation says there are approximate
ly 100000 school teachers in this
country. The ranks of the teach
ers are being depleted at an alarm
ing rate because their pay is not
sufficient to keep them in the face
Of the opportunities to make more
at other work.

recent election in Ulster county,
Ireland? ]. o. H.
A. The best obtainable informa-
ton shows that the Unionist party,
favorable to Britain, lost a number
Of seats, securing less than so per
cent of the total. The returns give
the Unionists 246 seats; the Repub-
lican party Sinn Fein), SO seats;

watched him until he was out of
sight.
WELL" she declared, "if all
young men were like him, I would
soon lose my reputation for being
afraid Of them"
True to his promise, Allen Morse
rang the doorbell of Elizabeth
Martins home at o'clock that eve
ming. He was surprised when she
herself answered the ring, and in
vited him in. but q greater surprise
was waiting Elizabeth's girl
friends, for before he left her that
evening Allen had given his prom
Use to accompany her on the sleigh
ing party.
| The following evening a bright
moon lighted the way for a merry
crowd, packed tightly in a large
sleigh. Elizabeth Martin was un-
doubtedly the happiest member OF
the party. unless perhaps it was
Allen Morse. As she presented
Allen to the others, she smiled
mysteriously.
Unable to wait any longer one OF
the girls finally whispered envious-

Answer-Mop the skin cnce each

with solution of half an ounce OF
aluminium chloride in two ounce,
of distilled or rain water, and al
low this to dry before dressing.
The Germs Liked II.
My son has hoils on the bAak a
his neck. We poulticed the frs.
one with flaXseed and now there
are two new ones coming. Kindly
tell me what causes them?
MRS. J. ME-.
Answer-The original boil was
! caused by Staphylococci (pus pro-
ducing germs) which are present
on every skin. They gained en-.
trance through some trifling abra-
sion made by. neckband or injury.
But the two new boils we're prob
ably caused by your treatment
Flaxseed poultice is an ideal cul-
ture medium Fer such germs, also
it tends to soften and render the
neighboring skin more susceptible
to infection. Never apply a poul-
tice which favors germ growth IL
germs are already causing trouble.
A dressing which accomplishes ev-
erything a poultice can accomplish,
yet does not favor germ growth,
but does favor drainage and heal
ing, is made by keeping large pads
OF cheesecloth Surgeons gauze)
constantly moistened with a solu-
ton of a heaping tablespoonful d
citrate of soda and an equal amount
of common salt in a pint of hot Wa
ter: a fresh pad to be applied as
often as the dressing becomes ap-
preciably soiled with discharge, and
the moistening to be repeated every
hour or two.
/ Why Boil The Water.
Why boil the water for nursing
babies when it has been found pot
able by the state chemist?
MRS. ]. c. D.
Answer-If your health officer or

water potable it is unnecessary to
boil it.

Patty.
The charming name Of Patty is
not diminutive of Patricia as is
popularity supposed. but comes, cur
iously enough. from Martha. For
that reason it means becoming
bitter" despite the fact that it has
always been bestowed On the sweet

Patty has a certain sacred sig
nificance, since it is derived from
Martha, who was one Of the sisters
of Bethany. It was she who is said
to have destroyed by the sheer
power of her faith irebreathing
dragon which attacked their fam
lily while they were on a pilgrim
age. Although she is popularity
supposed to have been the sister of
Mary Magdalen, there is some doubt
among historians on this score.
But, however it may be, Martha,
was the forerunner of Patty, and

a religious flavor, but a good, old

almost synonymous with domestic
ity. A curious fact in her evolu-
ton is that she was derived through
Russia, where Martha became Mar
ia under Slavic influence. The
name was much used by the daugh-
tiers of the imperial family, that il
was necessary for England, and
later America, to evolve Patty as
an endearment.
IRELAND set the seal Of approval
upon Patty, preferring it to Martha,
whose only survival is in Nab
queen of the fairies. France re-
iects Patty, but uses Marthe and
Marthon. Marta is the Italian YER
sion.
Patty's talismanic gem IS coral.
1t will give her strength, wisdom
and bodily health, according to old
superstition. But if she breaks a
bit of her coral, its power vanishes
as if the spirit imprisoned within
had fed. Tuesday is patty's lucky
day and her lucky number.
