What His Club Fellows
Did For Tom Jenkins

Tom Jenkins-that isn't his real
name, but it will do-was very
proud of his cow. He used to go
out to the barn and curry her, like
a horse, and doll her up" and tie
blue ribbon around her tail. He
was figuring on her being the best
cow owned by any of the boys and
girls club members in Merrimack
County, N. H. But once in a while
Tom Jenkins would grow solemn.
"Crickets," Tom would say to
himself, suppose something hap
pens to my cow"
Something did happen. The COW
became sick and died, while she
was still dry, and without return
ing a cent. That took all the joy
out of life for Tom. He moped
around, and once or twice he went
out to the barn and looked at the
place where she had stood.
I'm in for it," he said. "My
COW is gone, and | owe the bank
every cent she cost. It'll take a
million years to pay it back. Just
my luck. l ought to have known
better than to join that club"
Tom wasn't so far wrong at that.
When a boy loses a COW these days
it means something. Older people
would feel just as bad, especially
if, like Tom, they still had to pay
for the COW, with no way of doing
it.
But Toms club leader heard
about it. He knew that none OF
the club members was rich, but he
told them about Toms bad luck
And somehow, Toms plight ap
pealed to them, for many had Dor
rowed money to start them in clut
work They began to send in little
contributions. A garden and can
ming club sold popcorn at the farm
bureau field day and turned owe
$3.50 for Tom Jenkins's cow. II
a month there was enough none,
to buy Tom a new cow-one tina
return enough money to pay fo
the COW that had died. And She
doing it.

Danger In the Sportive Cootie

Coolies, as we'll as crowned
heads, suffered as result of
knowledge gained in the World
War. The cooties were largely
laughed at-by those who didn't
have 'en-but that they are no
laughing matter is indicated by a
recent report to the Bureau of Ag-
riculture, that if louseborne dis
eases should be introduced in this
country their appearance in cpl
demic form is not impossible. The
Bureau of Entomology is one of
the agencies that during the war
and since has investigated the sub
ject Of body lice, which was prac-
ically new field until war con-
ditions demonstrated its import
ance. Until the cooties came into
their wartime prominence much
: more attention had been given to
insects attacking plants and lower
animals than to those attacking
man.
A Bureau of Entomology investi-
gator has concluded that in a city
of 100000 population, where sani-
tary standards are high, $500
would be a liberal estimate of the
normal number of cases of pedi-
culosis Qousiness) likely to occur
in one year. AS factors favoring
the development of lice he lists
continuous wearing Of cclothing
personal neglect due to disease
personal neglect due to old age
personal neglect and loss of self
respect due to drunkenness anc
dissipation, and personal neglec'
due to Encouragement and loss o.
ambition. In most Of the case!
investigated, two or more Of thest
factors operated together. Con
, tact with verminouS persons O.
, their clothing or articles of per
sonal use were found to be prin
cipal methods of transmission.
Cleanliness is the surest safe
guard against lice. The beneficial
effect, from the standpoint of tn
t general population, of bathin
r facilities, and sanitary condition
s in jails and cheap lodging house!
is strongly indicated in the repor
: 'Tis the coward who quits to mi!
fortune;

THE INCOME TAX AS
APPLIED TO WOMEN
Revenue Collector Tells Status
With Regard To The

Women who had incomes during
1919 are remainded by Collector
of Internal Revenue H. T. Graham
that they are subject to all of the
provisions of the federal income
tax. Many thousands of women
file returns and pay taxes regu-
larly, and there are new names
added to this list each year. The
high wages and salaries received
by women last year will perhaps
double the number of the fair sex
who are required to file returns.
A public school-teacher, or other
city, town, county and State en-
ploye, is not taxed on her salary
or wages, but must file return if
her taxable income from other
sources was sufficient in amount to
come within the laws definitions.
An unmarried woman, widow,
or a married woman who is living
apart from her husband, must file
an income tax return if her net
income for 1919 was $1,000 or
over. She is entitled to an exemp-
ton on the first 81 900 of her in
come. If she is the head of a
