EDUCATION IN ALL STATES COMPULSORY Five Commonwealths Require School Attendance Until 18 Years Old. Compulsory education is now a requirement in every State, according to information recently obtained in a survey of educational laws affecting child labor made by the Children's Bureau of Department of Labor. In five States atendance is required until* eighteen years old, in two of those in certain districts only, in three until seventeen and in thirty-two until sixteen. One State requires attendance until fifteen, six others and the District of Columbia fourteen, and * one state requires attendance until '12 years, but applies to illiterates only. The exemptions in the majority of States, however ,are so numerous that they greatly limit the effectiveness of the laws. Most common exemptions are for employment, or upon completion of a specific school grade. Four States specifically exempt for work in agricultural pursuits, three with no age provision."* The laws of fourteen other States contain provisions so worded as to cover absence for farm work as well as any other pursuits. % Several States exempt a child whose services are necessary for the support of himself or others, without any age or educational provision.

A sick person's breath is of- / ten charged with certain volatile products that make it most disagreeable, but the odor is transient like the illness and disappears with it. If a perron is suffering from some chronic! trou1 le, however ,the odor may be more or less permanent. The sufferer may or may not be aware of it himself; in most cases he is not. The causes of constant bad breath!. f are numerous. The most common are j bad teeth, catarrhal condition of the j nose or pharnyx, indigestion, consti-f pation and certain diseases of the4' lungs and bronchial tubes. A writer has distinguished five types of bad breath. The first type he calls the putrefactive, which is per- | haps the most common. The odor is like that of strong cheese and usually joints to chronic disease, in which crusts are formed and decompose, to disease of the antrum, in which the secretion accumulates in that cavity, and to neglect of the hygiene of the mouth. The second type is the worst of them all. In no way the fault of the sufferer, bad breath of this type is dreadful in its pungency, for the odor is like that which a bad egg gives off when broken. The person with such breath is suffering either from abscess or from gangrene of the lung, or from dilatation of the bronchi?conditions that are very difficult to cure. He can sweeten his breath only by wearing a mask impregnated with creosote; the creosote not only modifies the odor but sometimes greatly benefits the disease. The third type has the smell of garlic and characterizes persons who Ci take certain drugs, such as arsenic or bismuth. The fourth type has a sweetish odor, such as is sometimes observed in the breath of persons who suffer with diabetes. Bad breath of the fifth type has the unpleasant but often remediable odor that disorders of the digestive tract cause. The person with that sort of bad breath can quickly sweeten it either by taking a laxative or by taking a little rhubarb and soda after his meals or even by taking care to masticate his food more thoroughly. / Anyone whose breath is persistently bad should consult a doctor, for it may mean the beginning of some constitutional affection that can be cured it taken in time.

It is thought that these- mixtures of vegetables, which are absolutely water-free, might be used to great advantage by housewives.. They are quite as good for soups as fresh material and far cheaper. One hotel to which sample packages were sent for trial reported that one pound of the stuff'made 125 "portions." The only important obstacle to the introduction of these concentrated soup Vegetables seems to lie in the difficulty of overcoming old prejudices. *?r> W/TP ATV 11 1 > tl.-ltiu JLKJ OCi v ?- 11.1A Can you exactly describe what you see? If you can. you are cleaverer than most persons. A book recently published in Paris relates that at a meeting of scientific men two of them suddenly began to quarrel. Under pretense of obtaining legal evidence the president of the meeting asked everyone present to write an exact report of what had happened. The quarrel was a pure piece of acting arranged to test the powers of observation of the men present. Though the assembly was composed entirely of jurists, psychologists and doctors, only one report contained less than twenty per cent of error; thirteen reports had more than fifty per cent, wrong; and in thirtyfour reports from ten to fifteen per 'cent, of the details were wholly imaginary. When men of science can ?o err we can understand how easily the ordinary man can go astray. The story shows why lawyers value cir cumstantial evidence so higniy. You Guard Against Burglars.
