would feel if a party of motorists
came along and camped on the boule-
vard in front of their home and on
leaving scattered their waste about.
This 'spot, although public property,
wasadjacent to the summer homes
of citizens and this fact should have
been enough to keep anyone from
desecrating it. But, indeed, any nat-
ural beauty spot should be sacred
from the desecrating hand of careless
travellers.
During the summer months when
people are going about so mueh on
pleasure bent, holding picnics and
:such like gatherings in the open air,
I wish that they would keep in mind
'the fact that they are responsible for
-leaving any place visited in as good
• order as they find it, or if possible a
little better.
.Complaint has been made from
:year to year of the carelessness of
picnickers leaving litter strewn all
over the, grounds visited, making
',anything but an attractive place for
the next camera. The other day I
• carne across a concrete example of
this sort of thoughtlessness. A small
green space, under an old oak tree,
•within sight of the lake and adjac-
ent to the road so that it was: conven-
ient for those who were motoring,
'had evidently been used for this pur-
pose very recently, probably the day
'before it came to my attention. But
it had been left so littered up with
Scattered orange peel, soiled paper
and discarded paseboard boxes that
it 'vas anything but an attractive
place and fastidious travellers would
hardly like to make use of it,
as a resting place, no mat-
' -ter how weary they happened to be.
One would imagine that anyone
with nice, tidy habits would be ate
hunted to leave so much litter behind
them. If the boxes used to carry
lunch and which are to be discarded
were used to put waste in and put
back into the cat' until they could be
• disposed of or destroyed, and all litter
!licked up and the place left tidy and
niivactive, it would mean mueh to
t'ie next conger, and I an: sure, that
those concerned would feel mueh
More comfortable than in leaving an
untidy guess behind.
As I looked at this litter, evident-
ly left by a few people, as the place
would not accommodate very many,
'I wondered how those who left it
Wben you go en a picnic dispose of
all waste se that the place will be
just as attractive when you leave as
when you came. You really owe
that much not only to others, but to
old Mother Nature, who makes the
beauty spot to satisfy your soul.
Sinee writing the above I have
read a criticism by the editor of a
woman's page of a daily paper on
tate same subject and she is far sever-

UNDULANT ItEVNRI sous abortion of cattle is by no means
rare, and it is known that cows in -
Malta Fever, as it was generally
known, was first brought to the at -I
tention of the medical profession
.during the Crimean War. Tho germ i
of thus disease was discovered by ,
Bruce in 1887, and some years later
it was found that the source of the
disease was ,goats' milk. Goats that
were apparently healthy secreted
the germs in large numbers in their
milk. These ,observations were con-
firmed when, after the military cor-
ms were ordered to bail the milk, the
disease disappeared in a dramatic
manner.
It was not until recent years that,
in this acid other countries, we
have came to recognize a,, new disease
to which has been given the name,
undulant fever. This disease is ap-
parently the same as Malta Fever.
But while in the Mediterranean ar-
ea, the disease is eommonly spread
by goats' milk, here it is usually
spread by :the milk of cattle suffer-,
ing from..eantagious abortion, or
Bang's Disease, the germ of which
was discovered by Bang in 180'.
It appears as if one family of
germs is responsible for several dif-
ferent diseases. Foe practical pur-
poses, it is the samegerm whichwas
discovered, :by Bruce and Bang, and
which is 'found in goats, sheep, cat.
tle, hogs and other animals, and fin-
ally in man.
Undulant fever in Canada is -usual-
ly contracted 'by those tvho' drink
fairly large amounts of raw milk. It
is occasionally the result of eon-
-tact with infected aulntais. *Contag-
fected with contagious abortion do,
like the goats on the island of Malta,
secrete the germs for a long time :n
their milk,
As a disease of man, undulant
fever is so irregular in its course
and symptoms that a description is
apt to bd misleading. In most cases
there are weakness, sweating and
chills, with loss of appetite and
pains, accompanied by fever and loss
of weight.
Several well -marked and differen-
I suppose that this contribution to
The News -Record is intended for
those young women in and around
Clinton who. cannot be called beauti-
ful. I congratulate' them on then-
better
hembetter fortune. They are freed from
a kind of distraction and pursuit
which is good for no girl •or woman.
Of course, I believe that all wo-
men, including young women, should
try to make themselves attractive—
by means of clothes and attention to
their hair and person; by the cultiva-
tion of feminine graces; by the de-
velopment 'of womanly qualities; by
polishing the mind; and by all other
means. A woman awes it to herself
to be her best and look her best.
A question to ask is: What will the
woman be when she is old? And so
I suggest to every woman to visual-
ize an old woman of surpassing
charm—one who has the admiration,
the affection, the loyalty of all who
know her. And then, having this
picture of a charming old woman in
her mind. let the young woman. be-
gin to be that old woman. for the
perfect old woman is just the sum of
allher yesterdays.
Being beautiful is something which
one may not be able to help—it may
be a legacy of parentage. Beautiful
girls are made very conscious of their
surpassing attractiveness by those
among whom they mingle. It takes
an enormous amount of grace and
sanity not to have one's' head turned
by admiration and adulation and by
a retinue of suitors.
When I read that Miss Jean White
has been the victor in a local or na-
tional beauty contest, I feel sorry
for her and for her parents, She is
apt to be unbalanced by her success
and to devote herself to the pursuit
of good looks, accompanied by swan-
ky elothes. As a doll she may be all
right, but as a human being she is
apt to be all wrong.
And if Miss Jean White gets to
Hollywood—by her own, or by others'
ambitions :ben her life Is likely to
end in disaster. For a year or so,
she may be acclaimed for her beauty,.
and perhaps for her acting, but it is
a short life, and not always a merry
one, for those whose head is turned
by Hollywood.
I really do not know what should
be done to safeguard a' beauty. She
herself is not Iikely to come to lace
own rescue. The chances are tiaat
from childhood her good looks haabe
been talked about in her presence
and hearing, and it is probable that
the mother has taken pride in her
daughter's good looks, and so has,
from childhood, put wrong views into
the daughter's' head. Children are
what their teachers and their parents
make them.
Of course, one would like parents
and teachers to do their, utmost is
give a developing beauty a mind
which would keep her normal and
sensible; but there seems to be a con-
spiracy among all classes, including
teacher's and parents, to give a -beau-
tiful girl a vain mind, and to push
They say that a woman always
wants to remain young. Of course,
all advertisers serving the wants and
needs of women keep telling them

clothes; of toothpastes and lotions—
all have their message to women on

give the woman good counsel. But
I want to suggest toe=ways; (1) Be-
come deeply and honestly and sus-
tainedly interestedin some benet-
cient activity; and (2) Have hearty
association with young people and
children. All of us, to refresh and
renew ourselves, trust draw into our
own life the fresh exhilarating life
of others. It is when we exclude
from our own life the life of others --
when we become self-centred, selfish
and lazy—that we take on age.
There is a beauty which is not of
tho flesh, It is the highest form of
beauty, and it is a beauty which nev-
er fades. This beauty I bid all young
women to seek.
HANDY NEWSPAPERS
There are many uses for old news-
papers. In fact, if the housewife on-
ly realized it, they are a valuable
help ie reducing work and increasing
comfort.
Most women never think of it, but
when they stand ironing, for in•
stance their feet will ache intolerab-
ly. This *ache" can be most easily
avoided by making a thick mat out
of old newspapers. And all stand-
ings jobs can be relieved of much of
their strain if wads of newspapers
are put on the floor.

I shall divide 'thy gifts from Thee
With every brother that I see
Who has the need of help from me.
Because I have been sheltered, fed,

And I not share

That he, too, may be comforted.
Because love bas been. lavished so

The cold and hungry clothe and feed,
Thus shall I show my thanks indeed.

Upon the woodland crest,
To quell the cry distrest
Until the dead tree's wood bound

And melts in song with every bird

What is a cat in the daytime?
A sleeping ball of fur,
A yawn, a stretch, a sudden sniff,
A bowl of milk, a purr.
What is a cat at night-time

A ghost, an unembodied voice,
Two phosphorescent eyes. •
What isa• cat whom no one loves?.
