THE FIRST CONCERN.
“When a bit of sunshine hits ye,
After passing of a cloud,
‘When a fit of laughter gits ye,
- And yer spine is feeling proud,
Don't forget to up and fling it
. iAt a soul that's feeling blue,
For the minute that you sling it
! It's a boomerang to you.
—Just a cold, you say. Perhaps
‘§t is, and perhaps it isn’t. What
seems to be the beginning of a cold
may prove to be influenza. Measles,
scarlet fever, or whooping cough
may also start with what seems to
be only a sore throat or cold. Colds
frequently are followed by pneumo-
nia and other serious illnesses. They
sometimes break ground for tuber-
culosis. A whole train of troubles
Jurk in the wake of a neglected
cold.
Even if it is just a cold, it is
nothing to be regarded lightly.
Colds take more dollars and cents
out of the worker's pocket than any
other sickness. They are responsible
for a greater loss of time from
school and work than any other
single cause, What is more, it is
very easy to give a cold to some-
one else. Yours may be light, but
the cold the other person catches
from you may have serious conse-
‘guences.
There are two kinds of common
colds—the cold which you catch
from other people, and the cold you
take even though no one around
you has one. People who have
‘adenoids or diseased tonsils or are
run-down are likely to have either
kind.
The germ which causes you to
‘catch cold may enter your nose and
throat passages from the air when
the infected person talks, coughs,
or sneezes. You may catch cold by
using an unwashed glass, spoon or
fork, which has been used by some-
one with a cold. The germs may
be on your hands because you have
touched something which has been
handled by the person with a cold.
People who take cold without
catching it from other people are
most often those who have poor
circulation or a local infection in
the nose or throat, or who do not
live according to certain of the
rules of hygiene.
When your head stops up, your
back and legs ache, your eyes burn,
when there is a tickling or soreness
in the throat, and you have other
signs of a cold, such as sneezing or
a running nose, you should start
treatments right away. Very few
colds would develop into serious ill-
ness if the person who has the cold
were wise enough to take proper
care of himself the first day or two.
Rest in bed, if possible, or at
least indoors, particularly if you
feel weak, as weakness may be
‘a sign of influenza. Take a laxa-
tive. Drink plenty of cold water
and eat lightly of simple, nourish-
ing food. Breathing steam, if the
doctor advises it, may relieve the
stopped up feeling.
At night, before going to bed,
take a hot bath or at least a hot
foot bath. As soon as you have
rubbed yourself dry, cover up in
bed with extra blankets so that you
can sweat the cold out of your
system. A hot drink, such as hot
lemonade, will help you perspire.
Some of the tablets sold as rem-
edies for colds contain drugs that
are bad for the heart and blood and
may cause a drug habit. Cold
tablets or any other medicine should
not be taken, except when ordered
by doctor.
Do not use a nasal douche, un-
less advised by the doctor, and do
not blow the nose too hard. If you
do, the infection may spread to
other parts of the head, or to the
tubes leading to the ears.
Isolation rules should be kept for
a cold because it is very contagious
and serious sickness may follow it
and because it may be the beginning
of a more serious disease in its
most infectious stage. Always cough
or sneeze into a handkerchief
{which should be boiled to kill
germs before it is washed), or a
cloth or paper napkin that can be
burned so that you will not give
your cold to others. Dishes, includ-
ing drinking glasses, used by the
person with a cold should be kept
separate from those used by the
rest of the family, or boiled. It is
probable that colds are also trans-
“mitted by handshaking.
Rheumatism, tuberculosis, heart
«disease, sinus infection, kidney
“trouble, chronic sore throat and
‘nasal affections may have their be-
ginning in a cold or in the flu.
Many deaf people can trace their
deafness to a cold. If you have an
earache or an ' abscess in the ear,
see a doctor. Infection may cause
serious trouble.
When, besides the general symp-
toms of a cold, you have a fever
and your back and legs ache badly,
you are probably taking the grippe,
or influenza. You should call a doc-
tor at once. The grippe, or flu, is
dangerous not only because pneu-
monia often follows, but because of
other troubles which may result.
—When muscularly fatigued, a
bath or a rub-down is far better
than drugs. When mentally fatigued
(real fatigue, not mere boredom,
which should be corrected by work
and change,) rest and sleep are the
remedies, not stimulants.
BAD ENGLISH TABOOED
IN BOSTON COLLEGE
Use of the so-called
English” frequently heard in the
average American college of today,
will prove a stumbling block in the
future to girls intending to graduate
from the Boston University of Prac-
tical Arts and Letters.
From now on, according to Dean
T. Lawrence Davis, “each girl must
be able to wirte good English,
which will be grammatically correct,
properly punctuated and clearly ex-
pressed.” A series of tests will serve
as a medium of measure.
In making the announcement that
all seniors must pass certain tests
in English before they will be
graduated from the B. U. woman's
college, Dean Davis declared that
“atrocious
MODERN MARKSMEN
REVIVE ANCIENT SPORT.
The turkey shoot, an American
sport which dates back to colonial
days, has been revived. According
to reports received by the Nation-
al Rifle Association rifle clubs all
over the country are conducting
these shoots. In the old days, the
targets were live turkeys confined
in boxes from which only the head
protruded. Nowadays, however, the
targets are colored pictures of fine,
plump gobblers. The prizes are real
turkeys. The method of advertising
the matches has not changed radi-
this step has been taken following '
a comprehensive survey - of the
needs of English in the Fusiness
field.
“For some time,” Dean Davis
said, “it has been apparent that a
girl who is trained thoroughly for
business should have ability to write
well. She should understand toe
proper use of punctuation. Her
spelling should be accurate. She
ought to recognjze the rarest as
well as the most common gramma-
tical errors.
With the purpose of radically
improving this phase of our prep-
aration, we have adopted at the
college of practical arts and letters
a somewhat unusual series of tests.
These tests will be given regularly
several times a year. Each girl
will repeat these tests until she
passes satisfactorily.
“Every instructor at the
has been requested
poorly expressed English. When
such a paper is found it is passed
to the newly formed Committee on
Good English. The girl's name then
returns to the list of those who are
scheduled for the next special test.
It is expected that this practice
will result in less carelessness in
writing.
“While this arrangement is made
for the benefit of the poor student
in English, another plan has been
college
to watch for
adopted for the beenfit of the pro.
ficient writer. This is designed to
stimulate an interest in English
writing through the publication of
the best material submitted by the
students.”
SOLICITORS MUST HAVE
LICENSES TO SOLICIT
Exposing themselves to the possi-
bility of arrest and prosecution un-
der the terms of the act which
governs the solicitation of moneys
and property for charitable, relig-
ious, benevolent, humane and patri-
otic purposes, many organizations
coming under the provisions of this
act are operating without certifi
cate from the bureau of assistance,
State Department of Welfare.
Most of these organizations are
entitled to hold these certificates
which will permit them to solicit
funds legally. Certificates issued
last year were valid until December
31, 1929, after which application
should be made to the Department
of Welfare for certificates covering
operations for 1930. Any organiza-
tion soliciting funds without a
certificate is subjecting itself to the
possibility of legal action even
though its purpose in the solicita-
tion may come within the provi-
sions of the solicitation act.
Mrs. McCauley in her warning
called attention to the section of
the act wihch applies to these or-
ganizations: “An act relating to
the solicitation of moneys and prop-
erty for charitable, religious, benev-
olent, humane, and patriotic pur-
poses makes it unlawful for any
person, co-partnership, association,
or corporation except in accordance
with the provisions of the act to
appeal to the public for donations or
subscriptions in money or other
property, to sell or offer for sale to
the public anything or object what-
ever to raise money, or to secure
or attempt to secure money or do-
nations or other property by pro-
moting any public bazaar, sale,
etc. for any charitable, benevolent,
patriotic purpose etc, unless tne
appeal is authorized by and the
money or other property is to be
given to a corporation, co-partner-
ship, association, or individual hold-
ing a valid certificate or registra-
tion from the Department of Wel-
fare issued as provided by theact.”

INSECTS FURNISH SHELLAC.
More than 15,000 tons of shellac
are imported into this country each
year. This important substance is
used in making phonograph rec-
ords, iadios, electric apparatus and
many other objects. Even sealing
wax, furniture polish, lacquer and
“ghellac* itself are made from the
original shellac, the product of a
tiny scale insect known to science
as the “carteria laca.” Believe it or
not, but the entire shellac industry
that is carried on today, practical-
ly as it was thousands of years ago,
depends on the life of this tiny in-
sect. It is a remarkable creature.
It makes shellac not unlike the hon-
ey bee makes its honey. Because
of its importance this insect is
cultivated in the northern part of
India. These insects live in millions
there. They make any kind of tree
their home. These insects have tiny
lancet mouths with which they
pierce the bark of the tree and suck
the sap from it, as the sap pass-
es through their bodies it is chang-
ed into shellac and excreted thus.
The natives break off these shellac
encrusted branches and sell it as
“stick lac” in its natural state. It
varies in color from amber to black.
Before it is shipped to this country
it is separated from the twigs by
melting. So now, you sign shop
boys, if the instructor asks you
where shellac comes from you can
tell him.

cally in 150 years. In colonial
days crudely-lettered signs were
hung in front of the village store or
tavern to announce the impending
contest. Today signs are stretched
across roadways leading to the
range. Sportsmen from miles
around flock to the shoot. The
man with the high score wins the
turkey. Some clubs award forty or
fifty turkeys in one days’s shooting.
The Palo Alto Rod and Gun Club,
| Palo Alto, Cal. puts ona novel match
in which even the non-shooter has
a chance at the bird. A sheet of
paper is covered with twenty cir-
cles the size of a silver dollar. Each
circle sells for 25 cents, and the
purchaser’s name is written within
the circle. When all are sold, one
person is selected to fire a shotgun
charge at the target. The person
whose name is on the spot contain-
ing the most pellet holes wins the
turkey. This match attracts large
numbers of sporting housewives,
Our ancestors would be shocked
at the news that today turkey
sells for 50 or 60 cents a pound,
for in 1682 30-pound gobblers were
sold for a shilling each—less than
one cent a pound. However, game
was plentiful then—so plentiful, in
fact, that as late as 1720 a fine
of five shillings was imposed on
any one shooting wild game on the
streets of Philadelphia.

GOLDFISH
Goldfish are a species of carp.
Originally—thousands of years ago
—all of this species were green. A
Chinese species which showed gold
spots was carefuly bred and,
through selection from one genera-
tion to another, a pure gold strain
resulted.
—Should hats match scarves or
should scarves match with the
cloth used for the gown is the
question in fashionable circles to- |

Many advocate wearing the scarf,
bag and hat in the same design
and shade as the gown and this
seems to be the prevailing mode.

FARM NOTES.
—Clean ground enables poultry-
men to carry more pullets to ma-
turity.
—Sanitation and breeding are both
essential in eliminating poultry dis-
eases.
—Any flock that will average
better than 120 eggs per bird is a
profitable flock,
—More moisture is required for
turkey eggs used for hatching pur-
poses than for chicken eggs.
—Gluten feed is a by-product ob-
tained in the manufacture of glucose
and cornstarch. It is used in the
mash as a source of protein.
—Remember, a start in turkeys
costs no more than a start of any
breed of chickens; there is always
a good market for your turkeys.
—Early hatching of chickens this
spring and proper handling of the
pullets will bring them into laying
condition next fall during the months
of high-priced eggs.
—Market premium for high-quali-
ty eggs has aroused an interest in
larger egg size. There are inherited
tendencies toward large and small
eggs. Careful selection at time of
placing eggs in the incubator should
contribute to the improvement of the
size of the eggs of a flock.
—Freedom from disease is essen-
tial to growing a large percentage
of the chicks hatched. Choose eggs
from disease-free parents, or if you
buy back chicks get them from
flocks known to be free from bacil-
lary white diarrhea.
—Plants of certain vegetable
crops may be started in late winter
or early spring in sunny windows,
a hotbed, or a coldframe. This
practice enables the gardner to have
plants well advanced when the
weather permits planting in the
open ground. Good plants also re-
sult in earlier maturity and larger
yields of most crops.
—Showing how to provide con-
venient arrangement of appropriate
furniture, use a harmonious color
scheme, and make care and clean-
ing easy, the Girl's Own Room
project has improved thousands
farm girl’s rooms at low cost. Your
county home economics extension
representative can explain the plans.
—For lightning protection, it is
well to ground to earth every elec-
tric entrance to any farm building
on the outside even though the sys-
tem is connected to a water pipe
on the inside.
—Garden arbors often can be us-
ed to screen unsightly objects,
These can be made easily at home
now and set out later. Vines, such
as climbing roses, clematis, polygo-
num, and wistaria, may be planted
in the spring and trained over the
arbor.
—Exercise, sunshine, good water,
clean surroundings, and plenty of
green succulent feed are nature's
tonics for young pigs. Provide these
for the infant porkers.
—Black raspberries should be
sprayed every year for the control
of anthracnose and other fungous
diseases, say State College plant
specialists. Spray other branches
as they need it.
—~Commerical fertilizer for the
garden should be suited to the par-
ticular needs of the soil. On light
to medium soils, where only a
small amount of manure has been |
applied, a good fertilizer is one
analyzing about 5 per cent nitrogen,
10 per cent phosphorous, and 5 per
cent potash. On medium to heavy
soils, with a heavy application of
manure, a fertilizer containing about
4 per cent nitrogen, 12 per cent
phosphorous, and 4 per cent potash
generally is the most profitable.
—Weeding and thinning the wood-
lot every 10 years is the usual prac-
tice followed by farmers who want
to develop a stand of tall, straight
trees free from decay or rot. To
divide the work up best it is advis-
able to go over one-tenth of the
farm woods each winter.
—In two record-breaking dry
summers the ability of the Pennsyl-
vania State College orchard plots
to withstand drouths has been in
proportion to the amount of organic
matter turned into them. The short
sod rotation plots which were un-
der cultivation last year grew the
heaviest cover crop in the orchard.
—Twelve cows are being used by
the Institute of Animal Nutrition
at State College in an experiment
to determine the efficiency of the
cow in changing feed into milk.
—Dead chickens pay no bills.
Use of clean practices means more
live chicks and better profits. San-
'itation will save one more chicksin
five than will live under dirty con-
ditions.
—All lightning rods should be at
least six feet away from electric
wires and conduits to prevent side-
flashing. This also includes any
metal connected to the rods and
radio lead-ins.
—Poultry paralysis is so far an
incurable disease, the cause of which
is unknown, says the Oregon experi-
ment station. Where the disease is
. present, the station urges rigid sani-
tation in rearing next year’s young
stock as possible preventive mea-
sures. Important factors to bear in
mind in this connection are brood-
ing on concrete or wire, and remov- |
ing the fowls immediately after the,
brooding period to land not previous-
ly used for poultry.

was approached by a drover who offered to buy twenty
steers, then ready for market, at $10.50 a hundred
pounds.
The buyer, who was a stranger to the community,
proposed to pay by check and gave the name of a
certain bank as reference. The farmer then telephoned
the bank and in the course of conversation discov
that he was underselling his stock by $1.50 on each
hundred pounds.
Confronted with the market
