Elwood is facing the most eerio’w epidemic of pneumonia in its history. Every physician in the city is working night and day taking care of the many cases, mid more are appearing daily, A number of deaths have occurred. Physicians say the sudden weather changes are responsible for the existing condition. With the starting Monday morning of the rail mill all departments of the Gary plant of the Illinois Steel company are now in operation. The rail mill has been boarded up for three months. Only old hands will return to work. Within the past ten days 2,000 men have returned to their Jobs making a total of 4,500 men at work. James E. Riddle of Lima, has invented a sanitary automatic sugar bowl, which is expected to be a big item of saving to every restaurant. Instead of the lunch counter customer dipping a wet spoon into the sugar bowl, by the simple pressing of a button a graduated teaspoonful of sugar is delivered into the cup of coffee. The top of the sugar bowl is closed tightly, preventing flies or other insects from getting inside. There is much for parents to take to heart in ex-President Taft’s contribution to the Washington’s Birthday .number of The Youth’s Companion on .“Training for Citizenship.’’ He has in mind, especially, training during childhood, when true ideas of patriotism and public duty are easily fostered, and just as easily neglected or abus ed. "If the home is what it ought to be,” he says, “and the parents are good citizens, the training of the child in citizenship will not be difficult.” From different parts of the state come stories of a swindle successfully Worked on farmers who thought they were going to get cheap groceries. Two smooth strangers went through the communities taking orders for a house in Chicago, pretending to sell a standard brand of flour and sugar so cheaply that every farmer visited took from ten to sixty dollars’ worth, and other things besides. Because of the low prices the flour and sngar had to be “paid in advance.” It is alleg'd that in one community the swindlers picked up some $3,000 and no groceries or flour were delivered. How enormous is the task of caring for the insane is shown by the fact that there are in all our public institutions approximately 200,000 insane persons, a number exceeding the number of students enrolled in all the colleges and institutions in the country. In New York the expenditures lor the insane are one-fourth of the total annual appropriations of the state. In “The Story of Bethlehem (Bedlam) Hospital from its Foundation in 1247,” Edward Geoffrey O’Donoghue presents a document of rare historical, sociological, medical and human interest. The book, which contains 140 illustrations, will be published by Dutton this month. “Forming an ice cofferdam inclosing the part to be repaired was the novel method used in getting to a leak 34 inches below the water line of the United States dredge, ‘Warroad,’ while it was laid up for the winter in Lake of the Woods on the border between Minnesota and Ontario,” says •the February Popular Mechanics Magazine, in an illustrated article. “When the ice had formed to a depth of 18 inches a trench 20 feet long, 3 feet wide and 12 inches deep was dug in The ice alongside the dredge, and on each day following when the temperature had been below zero the night before, this trench was deepened from an inch to an inche and a half, care being taken to leave about five inches of ice under the trench at each cutting. With this slow deepening of the trench the walls were given a chance to freeze to a safe thickness |so tliat the ice served as a perfect •cofferdam during the work of repairing the leak. While this work was being done, the temperature dropped at times as low as 47 below zero. In the “Interesting People” department in the February American Magazine appears a remarkable article about a twelve-year-old wonder child, living in Pittsburg, named Winifred Sackville Stoner. The little girl is already an accomplished scholar. She lsi>eaks eight languages, is an author, ‘and teaches in Carnegie institute. She can make speches in various languages before large audiences, has written and staged plays, often plays in concerts upon both the violin and piano, has beaten champions playing ; chess, can row, fence, swim, ride ■horseback, skate, play ball, cook, sew, and execute fancy dances. Her mother attributes her unusual development to “natural education.” Following are ten “Nevers” which Mrs. Stoner has adopted in the rearing of children: “Never give physicial punishment. Never say ‘Don’t.’ Never say ‘Must’ Never let a child say ‘I can’t.’ Never Defuse to answer any of the child's questions. Never tease or ridcule a child. Never allow a child to lose selfrespect or respect for his parents. Never scold a child. Never allow any other spot to become more attractivev than home.”

From 25 to 50 or 60 Are the waves of productiveAre the years of productiveought to accumulate sufficient means to see him safely through the evening of his days. Every man, almost, might do this if he only would. The trouble is that with most people the start is deferred too long. They do not realize soon enough the necessity for saving. They do not appreciate how quickly small savings run into sums of money —and how sums of money work without ceasing to ■ produce other sums. People with the savings bank idea, and who would like to have the idea develop into an actuality will find this bank ready to accept their first deposit, however small.
