In every town in America you can
see skinny, scrawny men and women

strength increasing vitamins. They
also agree and the whole world
agrees with them that 1t Is about

just what Is meant by the
plague
Plague is a specific infectious
disease characterized by an ex.
tremely rapid course, accom-
panied either by inflammation of
the lungs (pneumonic plague) or
by peculiar inflammation Of
the Emphatic glands ibubonic
plagued.
1t is due to the presence in the
blood and tissues of a peculiar
microorganism, called bacillus of
versin, discovered by the distin-
guished scientist, Kitesato, of
Japan.
The disease is liable to become
epidemic in the presence Of in
sanitary conditions, filth and over
crowding, IT is now rare in Eu-
rope, the last small epidemic oc-
curing in Paris in 1920. But 1t
prevails in colonies, especially in
North Africa, Eastern China, and
India. It Is commonest in warm
weather. Il
Previous to an outbreak the
disease usually appears in rats and
in mice; it spreads among them
and from them to men through

Barry have thrown light on
this important problem. The re-
searches Of these authors have
revealed the fact that rats as
well as men may be carriers OF
bacilli OF the plague, and at the.
same time may remain absolutely
healthy.
These carriers OF bacilli can
spread the disease around them
and originate epideInlcs. Be.
tween the man-carrier and the
rat-carrier OF plague there is q
marked differences; rats usually
carry the injection in a very
mild form: a very poisonous
strain of bacilli is usually found
in men-carriers.
This fact would seem to ex.
plain why some epidemics OF
plague are extremely severe and
others of an extraordinary mild
nature. II the epidemic was
originated by q p1an-carrier It Is
always of a severe nature. IL
it originates and spreads through
rats, two possibilities may Issue:

~ ! am 10 years old and am
in love with a young man three
years my senior. While In my
presence he seems also to love
me, but when ] do not see him
for a long time I have reason to
doubt him, as he never writes
to me.
How may L test him to be

DOUBTFUL.
There's only one test Of a
young mans love, my dear-his
proposal of marriage. Until he
proposes to you-if ever he does
you will be on the safe side If
you think OF him as just a dear

Show yourself a generous friend

OF WALNUT

FARMERS in the upland and

Ohio River basin, or the central

make a good investment by plant
ing a busfel Of black walnuts
this fall. That is the advice given
by the Forest Service. United
States Department Of Agriculture.
There are about 1900 nuts In a
bushel and they should be
planted about two inches deep in
waste strips, idle corners and
along fence rows. The walnut
is a tree that requires good soil
and the nut should not be planted
in shallow, dry or poor land. IT
hogs or squirrels are running
over the land the nuts should be
buried in a soil pit or kept in a
damp cellar until spring and then
planted.
Walnut is one Of the two finest

ket value Of from $3.50 to 5000
