L Writes of -| Double Standard Dear Miss Grey: Quite recently we read an account of a girl and \her husband committing a murder in cold blogd, and sorry that their only reason was that the girl told her past. | Tt was such a narrow-minded act | to do. Why do parents teach to} their children the double-standard? | In this case three young lives are ruined. One of them is gone out The two remaining are too pitiful for words to describe. So long as women hold to the double. standard, so long will those of the and | opposite sex. | ‘We read in the Bible about a wom: | accusers (all men) took her before Chriat, and He said unto them, “Let he among you who is without sin cast the first stone.” The woman with bowed head was weeping bit- terly. Then Christ said unto her: “Woman, where art thy accusers?” She arose, and behold they had fied, for they were in sin as well as the woman. However, !t seems the generations erty. Why should we shun a fallen woman more than a fallen man? Let us look at the physical side of the matter. Many an innocent girl has married a man with a past. So tell me why woman should be made to pay the penalty of crimes whieh she is innocent of? It is purely ig- noranee. Until we come to the full realise: | tion of the fact that a moral educa ton isas necessary to Human welfare | as a@ scientific education, until then the world, thru ignorance of the laws of nature and double-standard and crimes, will go on and on.

Q Please give me information as to how long tuberculosis germs will live away from an animal body; 1. @, how long they will live after one has died in a house and has left more or less deposits of sputum on clothing, bedding, furniture, ete, tf the house has been cloned efter the death of the patient. AA The length of time that tuber- culosis gerine will live outside of the animal body varies conalder ably, It depends principally on the kind of material in which the germs are lodged (mucus, pus, feces, urine, eto), It aiso depends on the amount of moisture present, on the presence or absence of sunlight, temperature and other factors. After & person has died of tuberculosis, it ia usually advisable to give the house in which he died a thorough cleaning and airing, washing down the woodwork and the walls, scrub. bing the floors, rubbing off the fur- niture with crude oil, and perhaps painting the woodwork. After this, the house should be thoroly aired. no fear need be felt regarding any danger of infeo- | Uon, Q Pieane tell me whether the new | tuberculosis cure, as described in the |Inclosed clipping, has been received in this country.

The public health service has no official knowledge concerning the alleged tuberculosis cure mentioned in the clipping inclosed with your letter, Serums and vaccines, how- ever, of endiess variety have been tried, and, when subjected to scien- tifie contro] teata, have thus far all been found not to be the specific cure which their enthusiastic de vieers hed claimed for them.

FOOT-BATH REMEDY FOR VARIOUS ILLS A well-known woman physician recommends a foot-bath as a cure for a cold. In the incipiency of the cold, a thorough foot-bath to which mustard has been added, should be taken. The water must be kept as | hot as can be borne, for at least 20 minutea The patient should also érink hot water freely and must go to bed immediately, covering himself warmly, Sleepleseness can generally be helped by a warm foot-bath, as can a headache. Habitually cold feet can | be treated by alternate hot and cold |foot-baths. This treatment should be taken every day.

PALA Every Flower Has a Story All Its Own THE PASSION FLOWER The passion flower is symbolic of religious superstition. When the Spanish missionaries, following in the steps of the invaders of South America, discovered the gorgeous passion flower, they deemed it to be sent them as an aid in converting the natives to the Christian religion. The flower is dedicated to All Baty@'’s day. At thé request of Queen Victoria, & wreath of passion flowers was laid upon the grave of Abraham Lincoin. ‘The Spanish minsionsries thought it to be the most wonderful iMustra- tion of the cross triumphant in the nature world. The following gym- boli¢al interpretation was given: The column rising from the center of the flower represents the beam of the cross, while the small stems above it represent the nails. Above the column is the corona which sym- bolizes the crown of thorns, while the veil of fine hairs, amounting te 12, signifies the numpber of thorns. The seed vessel is the sponge filled with vinegar, which quenched thirst of the Bavior, and the five, vivid red spots upon each of the leaves are His five wounds. Because of this, the Spaniards call it the flower of the five wounds. The five sepals and the five petals are the tan aposties, Judas, the be- trayer, and Peter, who denied the Savior, being omitted. The leaves, being set singly on the stem, signify that there is but one God, but testify to the Trinity by being triplicate in form. The bell readily and this means who bears in his heart God can be harmed by the world. “DANDERINE” Stops Hair Coming Out;- Doubles Its Beauty. ‘In Every Office Building In Seattle Scores of Wilson’s Modern Business College graduates are to he big positions as Bookkeepers, Ac- ‘aphers, Private Secretaries, Office Man- These successful graduates look upon the day they enrolled in Wilson's @s the big outstanding date in their lives, because it meant for them a new outlook, greater opportunities and more power, Don't you realize that if you are to get anywhere im the warld and em Joy the opportunities of today you must start And on top of that you must start thoroughly prepared.
