SOME APRIL DAY

C ONE April day when sun shlpes
- bright
And springs reborn again.
And flowers lift their dropping heads
Still wet with frosty rain.
Some April day let's run afar
And leave all cares behind;
Forget all troubles, worries. glooms-
And to dark skies be blind.
LET'S look for naught but Aprll's Joy
And beauty where il grows.
And we will find the mystic wood
That only Elf-land knows.
The wood where streamlets sing then
song.
Where willows play their tunes.
Where feathered lovers bill and coo
Beneath warm April moons.
TIE woods that he'd but peace and
JOY.
Where beauty holds full sway

Jamie's father held out his cigar to-

During the American Civil War a
tall ungainly recruit stepped up to a
group of soldiers and holding up q
bundle of soiled wash asked, "Do you

Two of the group were practical
.jokers. "oh, yes. we know. Just go
up there with your bundle" pointing
to the headquarters of General Grant.
"You will see a short, stout man
describing the General-"who does
washing. Take your bundle to him."
The recruit thanked them and walked

well, when Columbus discovered
America, the Indians were smoking.
You know they filled a long pipe with
tobacco that they called the pipe OF
peace. This pipe was passed around
TO those with whom they were on
friendly terms. Some people think
that the Chinese smoked long before
that time because there are pictures
Of what look like pipes on some Of the
old sculptures that have been found.
After America was discovered,
about in 1886, Sir Francis Drake and
L-dlEt kllG AllSl bONGA AAOA VI WI o ma
took some tobacco and pipes over TO
England and gave them to Sir Walter
Raleigh. Sir Walter was very fash

AT first, tobacco was very expensive,
because II had 10 be shipped from this
country to England. and SO was used

tied up in punches called hands, and
are packed in kegs and'pressed down

How are cigars nader" Jamie
asked.
"The leaves are rolled into cigars.
usually by hand, packed in boxes,
sealed up and sent to the stores ;hat
sell them. The government makes
the manufacturers pay a big tax. as
cigars are considered luxury"
Are there any other kinds OF to-
bacco besides cigars and snuff2" asked
Jamie.
"Yes, there is the tobacco that peo-
pie chew, and cheroots. which are
cheap. roughly-made cigars. and
cigarettes, and tobacco cut up fine to
smoke in pipes" answered his father.
Have ladies any use for tobacco ?"
Jamie asked, as his mother came into
the room.
Eyes, indcsd!" she answered. Some
ladies smoke clgarettesl / use 1t to
keep moths out Of things, and some
times take the ends Of daddy's cigars
and crumble them around my flowers
to keep off bugs and to make the
ground rich"
"And so ends the story and the cigar
at the same time" said Jamie's father,
throwing the end OF his cigar into the
fireplace. but let me tell you OF an
other use for tobacco. We used to
have a colored cook who had the pret-
tiest white teeth you ever saw. And
guess what she used to clean them
with? Cigar ashes!"

 Miss Elizabeth Heineman. the nurse in charge of the Visiting Nurse sta- tion, submitted her regular report at the monthly meeting held last night in the Red Cross rooms. The report covers a period of three months. Jan uary. February and March. All three of these months have been active ones for Miss Heineman, due to the scar let fever epidemic, which, however, was very slight in Plainville. Diph- theria threatened here for a time but was soon in control of the physicians and the visiting nurses.
 The report is as follows: New cases. 26; nursing visits, 227; tuberculosis cases, 12; infant welfare, 10s; child welfare, including the. school chil- dren, 139; school visits, 23;, social service visits, IA; friendly visits.

 A vote of thanks and appreciation was extended to Mrs. Walter Older shaw for the donation of an electric lamp which is used in the Red Gross rooms. The following. persons also contributed: Mrs. Thomas Bedford. Mrs. F. P. Frisbie and Mrs. Palmer for linen to be used for bandages. There had been a shortage of this material for some time. and all dona- tions were greatly appreciated. The Ladies' Benevolent association of the Congregational church contributed comfortable. The Bay View Reading club members have offered their serv- ices to sew the gauge for bandages. The station is in need of contributions of this sont as there is a constant de- r,land for 1t at all times and the ex- pense of purchasing it is great. There fore, those who donate material for use in .bandages are aiding the nurses station and providing for the welfare of the people who cannot buy it. Since the. organization was first introduced
