Under highly capable and consoicn- tious manBgemenl, given voluntarily by the successive executive boards of the club, composed of commercial girls themselves, the club has now «n excellent record of moat valuable work.

TEACHING PEOPLE TO LIVE. How to teacli people to live so tliat they may enjoy health and avoid sick, ness Is a problem that has noi been •olved. Whether It can be done by education is a question. Most people prefer to live their own lives according to their own Ideas and are inclined to look with contempt on matters of diet, sleep, fresh air, the avoidance of excesses of every kind and restrictions that would interfere in any way with their personal liberty. Nevertheless it is perfectly true to say that thousands of people have benefited greatly by the information that has been disseminated, with the result that they have been almost to- tally free from sickness of any sorl- ous kln<l for many years. â€" Brantford Expositor. OUR LUMBER EXPORTS The lumber export situation is not without Its illfflcultles; the solution •ppears to be in the appointment of one representative for Canada, char- ged with the duty of promoting im- partially Canadian forest products, re. gardless of tlie place of origin. By this plan Canaiia will not divide her propagandist force; on the con- trary, it will give solidarity and uni- formity to every effort to extend the market. There are, of course, ardent advocates of separate Eastern Can- Ada representation, who believe that only by such a method can the East obtain an ailequate presentation of the qualities und uses of Kastern woods, a larger umber of orders, and new markets. It is suggested, however, that on balance, a Domlnlon-wldo reprwsenta. tlve Is the must logical plan, and that It! advantages outweigh those claim- ed for sectional represen'atlon. â€" Can. ada liUmborman.

What's 121 Years To This Gay Young Thing Sata Ana, Calif.â€" Senora Leandra Chairez celebrated her 121st birthday recently by rising at 4 a.m., dancing an Intricate, old time Mexican waltz to modern music, and dining on fried chicken. She topped off her special repast at the Orange County Farm with a hand-rolled cigarette fashioned from cigar tobacco rolled into a cigarette paper. "I have been wanting fried chicken for some time," she said, "and the officers of the Orange County Farm promised I should have It." Senora Chairez has been a county ward for several months. Boston â€" An upperlip health ri«k that may justify the "eyebrow" mustache as a real protector was ex- plained to the American College of Surgeons here recently. Any infection of the upper lip, such as might arise from even a trivial razor scratch or whatever risk there may be in kissing, is much more iwtentially dangerous than similar infection on the lower lip. The facial mechanisms involved in this situation and the not infrequent- ly fatal results were explained to a symposium on infections by Frederick A. CoUer, M.IV, of Ann Arbor, Mich. A person with anything larger than an ordinary pimple on the uppe.- lip, he said, really ought to be in bed in a hospital because of what might happen. Broadly speaking this "upper lip" area includes not only the site of mustaches but much of the face and nose. Infections in these areas if they get beyond mild stages are apt to spread until they reach the facial veins. These veins pass down close to each side of the nose and then flare out across the cheeks somewhat above the mustache lip areas. Ordinarily the blood in them flows downward. But upper lip infections may block these veins, forcing the blood in them upward. It then flows up toward the eye, passes the region of the inner an^Ie I of the eye and empties into the "cavernous sinus" located on the ' floor of the skull. Once there the infection can kill i quickly. It may produce clots that may carry infection through the blood stream all over the body or result in meningitis, or both. Dr. Coller warned that in treating an upper lip infection a pimple there . i should never be squeezed. Once the . infection becomes serious, he said, talking should be prohibited in order to rest the lip. X-rays should be used. â-  The germs most likely to cause the • I serious infections are streptococci and staphylococci. Surgeons discussing the Coller report said the practici of plucking superfluous hair from th« I nose offers some risk of upper lif infections.
