Luminosity is normal in the well known luminous beetles, including the various fireflies and glow worms, and results naturally from the oxidation of some organic secretion.

Of all times In his life this is the oc casion for a man to be frank. It is dangerous for him to blindfold the woman he is to wed by concealing his exact income and outside expenditures. If he evades that subject, he is pretty apt to play hide-and-seek in dodging the money problem all the rest of his life. He has no right to keep her in the dark as to where his money Is at the pres ent going. If a man enters partnership with an other man in business he would have to show clearly every detail connect ed with it. Marriage Is a contract equally binding and more serious. Every wife has a right to know just how her husband stands In regard to his income. Rearing and Feeding Chicks. By D. L WARNER Of Connecticut Agricultural College. Rearing chicks has its serious prob lems, but the first six weeks of their lives are the most dangerous. Follow ing are several essentials which, fol lowed, will help In keeping the mortal ity low: 1. Select strong, vigorous, well-ma tured breeding stock that is free from disease and has been properly housed and fed. This gives the chicks a good start, providing the eggs have been properly incubated. 2. Make sure that the mother hens am free from lice and mites before the chiteks are hatched. . If artifcial brooding is used, be sure that the brooder has a capacity large enough to allow the chicks a chanee to 'get away from the heat when they want to, and that it is economical in Its cost and in the fuel used. 4. Remove all dead chicks from the brooder and burly or burn. 5. Mark all the weak or sickle chicks so that they will never be used as breeders. 6. Keep brooders clean and well dla Infected. 7. Do not feed chicks until they are 48 to 80 hours old and then only limit ed amounts of easily digested food for the first week. Use only dclean and wholesome food. Provide a variety of feeds containing enough protein and ash. Give skimmed or sour milk to drink from the first day. It is an established fact that the chick does not use the entire yolk of the egg while developing in the sheD. The remaining part of the egg is taken into the abdomen of the chick Jast be fore it hatches, and this material Is sufident to maintain the life of the chlek for a number of days. Dr. F. P. Shaw, who has made an ex tensive investigation of this subject, sas that, '"The digestive afunctions of the stomach (of the chicks) are devel oped by the second day after hatching, whereas the panerestle terments are improperly developed before the sev euth."' The fnding of Doctor Shaw explans the common practiee of not feedling chicks until two days old and then giving them only limited amounts of easily digested foods for the arst week.

"'ve seen you around here before, You're the general manager." "Then evidently you haven't heard about our new order against smoking.," went on Garrett.

What would any work ing man think o, the employer who I gave him his wanges in dribs? Hlow t long would hle we rk for him if he had to beg and plead for it? That is the pitiful condlition in which some men place their wives. A husband should realize that a wife puts as much into the ,hulirles, of home-making as he does. She diowers him with her youth. her love. her hopes and the womanly qualities which make earth an Eden for a nman. Not one wife in a thou sand would think of asking her hus hand for the hard dollars her service is worth to him. lushbands are few and far between who are thoughtful enough to hand money to their wives, calling it pin money or spending money-whatever fancy name they like. Yet every man owes It to his wife. It is a bona fide debt, be she head housekeeper for her rich husband or kitchenette worker for a laboring man. The question of money causes more friction and un happiness in households than the dwindling of fervent love into friend ship ever could. It is the main cause of unhappy wives, petting their de spair. No doubt the husband is a well-meaning man, Intending to do what is right, but he overlooks the principal problem in wedlock.

A cold is a germ disease and its development is favored by undue ex posure to cohl, by fatigue, by improper sleep, andl by overeating. One should keep away from the germs by a oiding direct contact with persons who are suffering with this disease and those who are careless :,hout elluhing :Ind sneezing without using their hantdker chiefs. One must live hygienically in order to keep the body in good condition. Hygienic living means proper food. clothing, exercise, rest, plenty of fresh air, and good habits generally. When one is fatigued or worried, or when prolonged chilling or Indigestion dis turbs the systell the vitality is lowered and thle way is mtade easy for the de veloplent of the germ. Clhthiui should he neither too warmnl nor tooi cool. Too much clothing induces ex cessive perspiration, which eventually will cause chilling of the body. It is advisable to harden oneself to cold, but care must be observed not to overdo the matter. Because a little hardening will do good it does not nec essarily follow that more will do bet ter. The temperature of the living room should never be kept so low as to chill the occupants. Special atten tion should be given to keep the air in this room moist, as the drying of the mucous linings of the air passages causes them to crack and allow germs to enter. A cold may be contracted in spite of these preventive measures. Then the body must be given a chance to cure itself. This necessitates even more careful living. Drugs can only remove conditions standing in the way of nature's cure. They are all right if prescribed by a physician, but no drug is known to be an absolute cure for a cold. Colds should never be neglected. "Only a cold" too often expresses the attitude. Colds pave the way for pneu monia and other serious diseases. Queen Nathalie of Serbia, Missing Since War Began, Found Working in Hospital The mystery of the whereabouts of ex-Queen Nathalle of Serbia, who dis appeared at the outbreak of the war, was cleared up when she was discov ered working as a common serving woman in a big hospital in Bordeaux. While investigating the medical serv ice of Bordeaux, Jean de Bonnefon, a well-known Catholic journalist, who used to attend the court ceremonies in Belgrade during the reign of the last Obrenovitch, found the queen sweep ing the hospital foors. When the war began the queen, whose history is the most tragic court story known to Europe, placed her pal ace at Blarritz in the hands of a friend, princess Ghika, and ordered it converted into a military hospital. "As for me," she added, "I am go ing to efface myself. The times are so tragic that those who were ocee rulers of men must aid them in all humility." On the same evening Queen Nath alle, unattended, entrained for an un known destination, and her suite had not heard a word of her since. In the hospital where De Bonnefon found her she volunteered her services under the name of Nathalle Kechoko, her maiden name, and for the last two years has performed the meanest and most ex hausting duties. "When I last saw her at the Bel grade court," writes De Bonnefon, "King Milan's widow wore a blasing diadem and looked a harnghty and qutenly beauty. She was attired in a purple velvet cloak lined with prmline. Now she wore brown Holland overalls instead of the purple deaL." The wounded soldiers are totally Ig norant of her identity. They speak gratefully of her "saintly goodness" and her untiring eforts to aid them. At the queen's urget request the ex act location of the hospital is kept s ret, as she intends worlng inacognito until the end of the war.
