Strict quarantine of all known and suspected cases of the pneuonic type and scrupulous care to avoid con- tamination with the sputum of pa- tients. or the secretions of the mouth. nose or throat, which may have become infectiousâ€"are the means of preventing the spread of this form of plague. lumps in Adults Mrs. E. W. writes: “A man 32 years old, living in this town, was recently ill with what was supposed to be mumps. Is it possible for an adult to have mumps? It has alâ€" ways been my understanding that this is a disease of children.” Reply Mumps, generally. is a disease of children. The period of greatest susceptibility is between the ages of four and fifteen. Occasionally, however. it does occur in adults. In army camps, there. were many cases in men between l.wen;y and thirty years of age.

()ne zoo attendant, in whom all animals seem to have per- fect confidence. immediately. states that both his parents and his chil- dren possess the same ability. A man and a woman. especiallv in characteristic dress. must look very dilTerent to a wild animal, yet he. may accept tlm overtures of each. then repulse a third person who ap- pears to be a twin to one or the other.

Soon. however, the axes of timber-tellers will be making the silence resound in this, the oldest and the greatest of forests in EurOp e. Here in Lith- uania is the last refuge of the auroch, as some term the Bison honasus. For centuries the Forest of Bia- lowneza was the private hunting do- main of the Polish kings,‘and then of the tzars of Russia. The Bus-J sians, since the middle of the eigh- teenth century, gave great attestion to the raising and preserving of the auroeh, the true strain of the Euro- pean buii‘alo, and a herd of between 700 and 800 head was in existence at the outbreak of war in 1914. When, however, the German invaders oc- cupied Lithuania, though a pretense was made of protecting the bison, it amounted to no more than a pre- tense. So many of the magnificent animals went to form butcher’s gmeat that in December, 1918, only lsome 140 survived. What the invaders had com- menced, the peasantry finished. With the departure of the troops, the pea- sants at once started to slaughter the buffaloes. In many parts on the fringe of the forest, the animals were looked upon as a hereditary foe, ow- ing to their depredation of crops, which they preferred to their rough ipasturage. It has been stated that 1n September, 1919, the last of the mighty, wild bison, so famous in history story and legend, was killed to fill the family- pet. It has also been reported that a fewâ€"a very fewâ€"still survive in the fastnes-s of Bialow1eza. Anyhow, the operations of the London corporation that has ob- tained concessions to fell and mar- ket the timber of this and other na- tional forests, will in time disclose it gny of the anrochs do yet exist. _ The Germans however have, had allies assisting in the work of kill- ing off the last herd of the Bison bonasusâ€"the congener of the North American buffalo. Count Potocki possessed a famous ancestral herd of its species, but the Bolshevists, not content with the destruction of human institutions and human in- dividuals, deliberately exterminated this historic and i1replaceable rem- nant. The mason they adxance is characteristic. It is that. because there was not enough of the bison for all men, no man ought to have any bison at all.

PRETTY 18 A8 PRETTY D038 - (Kincardine Reporter) Writer in a pepular ladies‘ maga- zine makes a very amusing state ment when she writes: “The only 1 a thing men care for in a woman is ‘ beauty, and that h‘as become the al- ibi for practically every deserted wife.” The statement in itself is horribly wrong, yet it is a curious fact that when a woman loses her husband’s affection, she invariably attributes it to losing her looks. She pins her faith to the theory that the only thing you can hold a man with is a corset string, and a great many lmiddle aged women are half-starv- , ing themselves to keep thin, and are dyeing their hair, painting their faces, in a futile effort to stimulate the yOuth they have lost and to fool their husbands into believing they are still in the flapper class. It’s al wrong. No woman is responsible for losing her beauty. As a matter of fact, she is bound to lose it because time takes toll of even the peachiest. Figures grow more meagre or stout- er, hair loses its sheen, eyes their luster, roses fade out of the cheeks, and life etches its story of pain and sorrow on very fac. Then if love,- as some women think, is hung on a hair or is only skin deep, then they are going to lose out. When a wife is affectionate to her husband and fusses‘ over him and tells him he is the greatest thing on earth, he doesn’t care whether she is fat or thin. or whether her hair is grey or black, or whether her teeth are her own or hers by right of purchase. Among the many things that cause the loss of a husband’s affection are discontent. extravagance, perpetual criticism. bad housekeeping, lack of good naturedness and sympathyâ€"- and all come before the loss of looks.
