Miss Edith Morton, the eldest daughter
of Ex-Governor Morton, is organizing an
auxiliary to the Red Cross Equipment

this society is to enlist the interest Of

Self Control.

Noted physicians tell us that anger is
as injurious to person as dose of
poison and that man who can afford
to be angry must be of great physical
power What an amount of strength is
wasted when it could be saved il one
were but willing to exercise little self
control. A noble emotion, beautiful
thought and kind deeds are as tonic
to the body. II we would but try these
things as faithfully as we do a patent
medicine we should find we possessed a
cure beyond price, best of all, it would
help all we come in contact with. The
habit of self-control is what is most
needed in the home.
Harper's Bazaar gives us some splen-
did thoughts on this subject in an ar
ticle entitled "Altruism in the Home"
1t says:
''One would fancy the home, beyond
any other place in the wide world, the
sphere of altruism, etstrangely enough,
it is just here that we often find least
of it. Take the breakfast table, for in
stance. At the very beginning Of the
day, when the rest of the night should
have made every one cheerful and Sc
rene, one member of the family after an
other is cold and difident-nOt to put
too fine a point on the matter, is cross
and unreasonable. There may be an eX-
cuse for the man Of the house, who has
his business before him and no end of
perplexing situations to meet, who per-
haps is worried about meeting his notes,
or disturbed over the fluctuating Of the
market; and as for the mother, the baby
kept her awake, it may be, for two solid
hours, and she is not refreshed. Given,
however, the parents little at odds with
life, and ready to say curt things in
curt way, and what is to be anticipated
from the children? They are creatures
Of imitation, and with unconscious MIN
icry they repeat not the tones alone, but
also the temper OF the grown people
around them.
Here at the breakfast table altruism
should begin to exert its beneficent in
fluenCe. He or she, young or old, rich
or poor, who lives with others should be
unselfish enough to be bright and cheer
ful for others sake After all, in every
day living small sacrifices count for more
than great efforts, and hundred little
self-denials, little repressions, little en-
deavOrs to scatter sunshine, make up the
sum of great and enduring happiness in
the perfect home.

The government needs more money for war
purposes. To sell bonds for money increases
the treasury cash by contracting the amount of
cash held by the people and the banks, who
would purchase bonds. Issuing bonds does not
make any more money. To issue g1eenbacks
increases the volume of money and enables the

In hot weather flies are great torment to
stock, and especially to cattle and horses. The
horn fly will gather in punches OH cattle, gen
orally at or near the base of the horns. and tor
ture them until the cattle will sometimes be-
come wild and uncomfortable. Oil of tar
rubbed thiny over the hair of the animal is one
of the very best remedies for keeping flies from
the animal. In can be easily applied with
brush or piece of old CLOTH and will do the
work perfectly, keeping all kinds of flies from
the place where it is applied. 1t is not expen-
sive and can be obtained from most druggists.
The increased growth of cattle, to say nothing
of their comfort, will more than pay for the cost
and trouble of applying this remedy, many
times over. Horses, if protected from the an
noyance of flies, will be able to do more work,
keep in better flesh and will certainly be far
more comfortable Exchange.
