used it once to save her hostess in
most embarrassing situation.
''The time for dinner had arrived

full hour ate, he arrived and they all
sat down to dinner.
THE young hostess, knowing that
all the other guests were aware that
dinner had been scheduled for serv-
ice an hour earlire, decided that she
would make no apologies fer any
thing that was not quite up to the
mark but with the first taste of the
soup, she changed her mind.
Just then the maid stopped beside
her and slipped her note from the
cook which read:
Don't apologize for the soup,
ma'am. All but yours is all right, but

BENEFITS FORGOT
The farmer gets up as we've men
toned before,
Two hours ahead of the sun.
The blizzard may whistle the thun-
derstorm pour,
But his labor has got to be done.
The bugs in the orchard may drive
him half mad,
The bolts with his horses play
hob
But the government says it is really
That he doesn't take pride in his
job
The farmer, while piling the corn in
the shock,
Or slowing the milk cans away,
Looks eagerly forward to seven
o'clock,
Which is time to get into the hay.
His fingers are blistered, his muscles
are lame
So he sleeps, for while, like i
shirlk;
Yet the government says it is simply
a shame
That he doesn't take pride in his
task.
When the farmer is old, there is no
one around
To elp him get through with the
chores,
For the sons that he reared, for some
reason, have found
No charm in the great out of doors.
Such state of affairs. in this pros

There is reason to view with
ALARM

One daresnot begin a recount OF all

He has entertained Princes, Fresi-

Hon. ROBT. +. MERWIN
By CHAS. H. EMANUEL.

Here lies a hero fallen in the fight,
A valiant soul that lays his armor down;
Go, tell to coming ages how he lived,
Sapient in speech and plenteous in works.
A leader born. with vision sharp and keen,
With radiant force benefic in its sway;
Behold he liveth, not in marble urn,
But in the esteem of his fellow men!
Let buoyant youth his virtues emulate;
Let ripened age review the pages past,
That like this noble son of sterling line.
They too shall leave their Impr
mankind.
Build firm a cenotaph on the fan,
Which this great man illumined W.
light;
And let the tears of those he served so
we'll
Descend like votive garlands on his
shrine.

New WAYS For Old.

In connection with the opening Of
the schools, Dr.. R. H. Riley, Chief of
the Bureau of Communicable Diseases
of the State Department of Health,
urges parents to have their children
protected against diphtheria, one of
the most dreaded of the Catching"
diseases likely to- flare up at this time
of the year, as result of the coming
together of large groups of young
children.
"The old way of treating diphthe-
ria," DR.. Riley said, ''was to wait until
child was i'll, and then the most des-
perate measures had to be resorted to
to save the child's life. Diphtheria
anti-toxin was used and still is used
to cure the disease. But we also have
at our command substance, called
toxin-antitoxin, which will protect
or to use the scientific word-immun-
ize-against the disease.
"The newer way is to prevent diph-
liberia by immunizing the children
against the disease while they are
