"Leave No Litter" is British Slogan

LONDQN.— Prevention of iitter hasj been chosen* as the subject for speeial] propaganda during Coronation year by "Scapa," a society for the prevention of disfigurement in town and country. It-would be futile to take speeial care this year to make the ' country more beautiful, the society points'out, and at the saine timo to make it ugly by scattering rubbish everywhere. If children and grown-ups alike will resblve this year to. leave no.litter behind them on their walks, their games, their picnies and their celebrations, Scapa says, this in itself.will help to make the 'countryside more beautiful. ' ■ v A" 'do'stor' treating an old woman. for typhoid fever, took her temperature on each visit by putting a theronometer under her tong'ue. One day when she was nearly well the doctor did not taka her temperature. He had scarcely got one hundred yards from the house when he son called him back. "Mother, is' worse," said the young man. . "Come back at once!" The d'octor returned. As he went into the sick room the old woman looked up at him reproaclifully. . "Doctor," she said," why didn't you give me the tube under my tongtle to-day? That'always did me more good than all the rest of your trash!" ^ $> ® Said Macpherson, entering the nursery garden, "Have ye a nice cucurabor?" "Aye, horo's one," said the gardoner. ' "That will be fivopcnce." "Too much. Havon't yo onc for tuppence?" \' "Ye can have this l'or tuppence." "All right, here's the money. But don't cut it off; I'll be calling for it in 1 about a fortnight! "
