THE rtTLTON COUNTY NEWS, McCONNULtSBURO, PA. "Waste Not; Want Not." Mr. and Mrs. Youngcouple lived snugly because Mr. Young couple had a good job. He pro vided liberally for the table. His wife did all her housework and cooking. She did not keep a hired girl. She said that the cost of living was too high to af ford help. One day when she was feeling a little "blue" she sat down and wrote to the editor of her home paper and told him that she thought it was a sin and a shame for the Agricultural De partment to waste so much money for printing advice to house keepers, unless the Department told the housekeepers where to get the money with which to carry out the advice. She said further, that if the Department would send her some of the money spent for printing, she would show that institution that she could live better. Weft, let us see if she could. The story we have to tell will show whether she could or not She was one of those "womanly women" who read backwards by turning to the last few pages of the story to see if they married and lived happy ever afterwards, and she always lost the meat of the story and the good hints it contained. Her nearest neighbor was Mrs. Thrifty whose back yard fence joined her3. Mrs. Thrifty never had any scraps left from her ta ble for the chickens, because all of the perfectly clean left-overs were made into dainty and whole some puddings, custards, patties and Hamburgers. Noticing that Mrs. Youngcouple's garbage can was always full to bursting with good chicken feed, Mrs, Thrifty asked for it Mrs. Young- couple was glad to drop it over the fence because, as she said, it saved the fee to the garbage man who hauled it away. What fol lows of this story you must never tell, because Mrs. Thrifty told it as a "perfect secret." She said that the daily quantity of whole rolls, great slices of good stale bread, big chunks of meat, po tatoes, vegetables, fruit and sour milk throw away was greater than any family of three could have eaten if it had not been wasted. And Mrs. Youngcouple kept on complaining at the De partment for its extravagance in giving free advice. Now, among Uncle Sam's hun dred million population, he knows of more than two million other families just like Mrs. Young' couple's, and it grieves him greatly that so many of his peo pie have mothers who let their daughters grow up in such ig norance; so he has started out to catch the ear of one here, and one there, untill all have learned why it frequently happens that "times are so hard. " We Amer icans need every word of advice on economy that we can get, be cause we have been accustomed to think that there is no end to the source of our supplies. We "live good, " which is right; but so do the French people; but re liable writers tell us that they live sometimes better than we do. but on much less " money. Why? Because every mother teaches her daughters that it is not lady-like in good society for them to waste anything. We think, therefore, that Mrs. Young couple should not be so hasty in denouncing her good old Uncle Sam when he does all he can to help her. Church Notices.

The prevalence of 'this condi tion has given rise to a great many curious ideas. Almost ev eryone either sees fixed1 or float ing spots at times, or hears some friend complain of these condi tions, so that it is not strange that many popular misconceptions have arisen. The commonest form of floating spots are those which are known by the name of muscae volitantes, an old name which indicates how long the con dition has been observed. These are tiny transparent chains, or strings, which are seen especial ly on a white or brightly illumi nated field. They persistently float in the line of vision, and though a shake of the head may carry them out of the way, they at once float back again. These spot3 are probably caused by the remains in the fluid part of the eye of certain cells which should have been completely absorbed in the development of the eye. They never lead to impairment of vision and', as before stated, are perfectly transparent. Oth er floating spots are due to cob web-like masses of inflammatory material which are thrown out into the fluid of the eye by some low grade inflammation. These spots usually obscure the vision, which is their great point of dif ference from the former ones. It is, of course, very important to find out in any case whether the spots are due to inflammation, or not, and this can only be done by a skilled observer. It is a prevalent idea that the wearing of a dotted veil may leave per manent spots in the field of vis ion. While the dotted veil may be a source of strain by causing the wearer to pull on the eye muscles in order to avoid the ob struction to vision, it certainly is not the case that the dots, or any other object seen, can be perma nently photographed on the nerve tissues of the eye. There is only one exception to this . statement. Many people who have carelessly looked too much at the sun, gen erally in observing the eclipse, have actually produced a slight inflammatory change in the reti na, so that there is always a blur ry spot where they look. But it is doubtful if any light less brilliant than the sun can produce a permanent spot, and certainly a dark object can not do so. New Years Social. The young people's society of the Lutheran church will hold a social in the home of Mrs. John McLucas on Friday evening. Special games, plays, recitations, songs, music vocal and instru mentalto harmonize with the season will be on. the program. An offering for the Belgian Fund will be received. Invite your friends.
