AN AGED STUDENT PASSES

The oldest student" of Kansas
University has just passed to the be-
yond. He was Frank Weaver who
received his degree in engineering
last June at the age of 81 years.
Didn't live long to enjoy it. Natur-
ally he couldn't have expected to-.
= When a man gets to be as old as
Weaver was IT is time for him to
cease fooling himself with the notion
that college degrees will do him any
good. His life work as a rule is done.
The days of his achievement are at
an end. He only has time left for
reflection. No use wasting it try
ing TO store his old and worn out
brain with new knowledge. He is
slipping behind. He forgets faster
than he can learn, and our advice to
all who have attained that great age
is incorporated in the scriptural text,
Prepare to meet your God" That,
we hope, is what Weaver did.-Ex.

Buttons Galore ON New Frocks
RY MARY MARSHALL.

Within a few years button boxes
Sv,11 again become interesting. There
xill be miniature Strawberries ioSo
buds and Harlequin heads IN an III
terestirg melee with porcelain nut-
tons ornamented with painted lano-
soap,es and shepherdesses. Glass but
tons will be there, too-cubeS and
s-,heres of imitation amber, aqua
marine and jade-and wooden but
tons showing the natural grain OF
the wood or painted in checkerboard
effect. What holiday treat for the
little girls who are permitted TO
delve in these button boxes of few
years hence!
Just at present these gala buttons
are on our frocks or i'll the shops
waiting for the dressmakers to make
use of them, and our button boxes
are somber affairs and nearly empty
For we have just gone through
huttonless era Our underclothes
have been simplified to the point OF
,)uttonIe ssh ess, and frocks slip on
over our heads or tie about our
bodies. Quite unusual has been re-
Gently the frock that showed any
button trimming. Rows of buttons
may be suggestive of the uniforms
of soldiery. but, oddly enough, it was
during the war period that buttons
went quite out of fashion as far as
u-omen's clothes We're concerned.
Now buttons are back in fashion
for trimming.
Sport frocks of the boyiSh sort
show rows of buttons right down the
front The brightly colored porcelain
buttons are chosen for this. Wooden
buttons are used very often on dark
tailored street frocks. Two rowIs of
thirty buttons down the front or at
the sides gives u smart trimming to
a frocl of this sort. Some of the
smallest buttons are used in connec-
tion with embroidery, making an in
tereSting departure from the usual
beaded effect, and even milliners are
,Arning buttons to account in de-
-Nsing new modes of trimming the
eo-oalled sport hat
And when all these hats and frockS
and wraps are worn or out of fash
ION the buttons will remain. Some
one will snip them off with scissors
and store them away in the button
box with the thrifty expectation that
they may be made use of later on.

harden as il should. and the excess
wax will absorb and hold dirt, and
make the floor slippery, greasy and
unstghtly.
Care for your floor as you would a
waXed floor. Here is the recipe for
the daily caretaking: Go over the
floor with dry mop and, if you care
to, polish it with weighted brush or
with heavy brick wrapped in soft
cloth; that is all. Only at rare inter-
walls will you have TO scrup or wash
it; but you may. when necessary, wipe
up any muddy footprints with damp
cloth. You may also want to renew
the wax coating at doorWays and
other places about the room where
wear is greatest. If YOUR linoleum is
printed. you may like to use an oc-
casional coating of a good. clear var
niSh or shellac to preserve its pat
tern; but be sure that it is thoroughly
cleaned and dried first
If your linOleum is merely tackled
to the floor, always avoid getting
water under its edges. as moisture
underneath the Iinoleum will harm
both it and the floor. You will elm
mate this possibility and will not re-
grct the extra cost. If you have your
floor cemented down over lining of
builders deadeqing felt, for then you
indeed have a permanent, waterproof
floor.

They will have to worry along some
how without my attention for the

Thin people are undernourished.
Now in order to avoid any unpleas-
antness let us clearly understand
what undernourished or pooly nour-
ished or poor nutrition means. 1t does
not mean not having enough to eat
nor the right kind and variety of food
1t means simply that the individual is
underweight. Yet that isn't the only
test of malnutrition, for some persons
who are a little underweight are
healthy and normal nevertheless. But
the ratio of body weight with height
is generally taken as the index of nu-
triton for persons of the same age.
The majority of cases of undernu-

day or two on the Big River. and then
gone on. But Mr.. and Mrs. Quack
still fingered. And still Farmer
Browns Boy brought corn and fed
them every day. They had become
fast friends, had Farmer Browns
Boy and Mr.. and Mrs. Quack.
The days grew longer and the
weather grew warmer. Each day
brought new arrivals from the sunny

seemed surprised to find Mr.. and Mrs.

rivals remained to make their homes
on the Green Meadows and in the Old
Orchard and in tho Green Forest.
Others stayed only a few days, and
then hurried on farther north. NJ.
and Mrs. Quack talked great deal
about starting, but they didn't start.

Farmer Browns Boy was wondering
also. He. too, knew that ii was high
time for Mr.. and Mrs. Quack to be on
their way north. He had had so much
pleasure in watching them and get

had dreaded the coming of the day
when they should leave. But as they
fingered and fingered he began to
wonder and he began to hope. Could
it be that they had given up all
thought of going to the Far North,
and that they would make their
home here? Could it be?
But Mr.. apd Mrs. Quack said MOTH

They simply continued to linger and
