In the treatment Of stains much de-
ponds on what has caused them. Mar
BILE is one of the most difficult sub
s.ances to deal with when removing
s.ains. Even the weakest acid Will
attack the marble, and should not be
employed except in the hands of an
expert, says the Ladies' Home Journal
The following treatment will remove
many kinds of stain from marble: Dis
solve half a pint sal soda in one pint
of boiling water; stir into this half 2
pint of quickIime and enough whiting
or fuller's earth to make paste ike
thick cream. Spread this on the mar
BILE and let it remain two days or long
err. Scrape off and wash clean. II all
the spots are not removed this treat
ment may be repeated until the mar
BILE Is quite clean.

ment of the truth. Intellect certainly
makes for peace. When men have the
intelligence to see clearly that there
is nothing to be gained by war-that
fighting eats up all the profits Of the
trade fought for and many
times as much-they will no
longer fight for trade. But
men do not fight for trade alone. They
fight because they get angry, or be-
cause they hate one another, or be-
cause they think 1t glorious to conquer
and dominate. Therefore. men must be
elevated morally as we'll as intellect
ually before they will stop fighting.
They must learn that the command OF
the Almighty, Thou shalt not kill"
was addressed to men collectively as
we'll as individually. Now trade serves
to make men acquainted and to break
down prejudices and antipathies. 1t
enlists their enlightened self-interest
on the side Of peace. 1t holds them In
restraint and affords an opportunity
for their moral nature to assert itself.
It educates them morally and intellect
ually and brings them to abhor war,
with its looting, its slaughter, its hate
and all its cruelty. Education makes
for peace, but 1t must be education OF
the heart and the conscience as well
as the intellect before it will put an
end to international murder en- masse.

Salzburg, Austria, now puts IN q
claim for the record birth rate OF a
single family. Johann Steiner, farm
err, married his wife, Martha, nineteen
years ago, when he was So and she was
25. In the nineteen years since they
have had thirty-seven children-trip-
let's three times and twins twelve
times, while the babies have come
along singly four times. OF the chill
dren thirty-four are living, and they
are all healthy and normal. The
thirty-seventh child was born couple
of weeks ago, on the day on which
the father celebrated as his I'D birth
day. The mother is still in robust
health. Who knows of record to beat
this?

He left his old life behind him, as
though It was a thousand miles away.
He wore what the college boys had
once dubbed "hand-me-downs" and a
cheap suit of that clothing. His per-
sonal belongings were all in a small
and cheap trunk. The room he oc-
cupied was like dry goods box,
walls, floor and door of implanted
pine. A strip or two Of rag carpeting
partially covered the floor. There was
a cheap iron bed, cheaper table and
washstand covered with white OIL
cloth. He was expected to walt on
himself" which meant to fill his water
pitcher from the cistern and make his
own bed except on Saturday when the
housekeeper from below took posses
sion and cleaned things up.
From the window at which he wrote
ON a small table with webbing legs
the panorama of life unfolded to Ce-
ell Van Vliet's wondering eyes. He saw
the daily routine Of life among the
great struggling masses, he saw suffer-
ing, merriment, misery, death and the
happiness of the youthful and careless.
In the small yard below the German
woman spaded and sowed seed and set
out plants and vines. He often went
down to help her and was rewarded by
hot bread and coffee. He took long
long walks and lunched or dined at
wayside places. Sometimes he rode on
hay wagons passing in and out and
sometimes he walked miles under the
starlit heavens, almost feeling his way
the dark and yet with a conscious
ness that never before had he been
awake.
In a month the old life had fallen
from him. The charm Of simplicity
was with him day and night. This
return to primordial things had awak.
ened the truest life in him-and while
he grew more robust and the color
came into his face, he drank in real
life as a thirsty man takes long
draughts of water

"And, as you said the description
of life in q suburb of working people
was the only weak thing in the book,

a cottage attic and get the atmosphere,
Mr.. Norris"
The lawyer looked up from his desk
and back again before he spoke. what
he glanced at was pale man OF 70 or
20, who looked older. His race was
sensitive and was rather too sweet for
Q positive manliness. When the lawyer
6rally spoke 1t was to say:
1T will not hurt you or the BOOK.
Have you given up your trip across
and to Vienna?"
Van Vliet looked uncomfortable.
Cant do both, can your"
"No-and really the book comes nrst.
II it is all right but that, why not put
myself in the way Of making tnaI
right"
Mr.. Morris thrust his hands into his
pockets and walked up and down the
room.
Look here, Van, am pretty certain
the Astranhams count on your going
over. 1t is actually a question between
Gwendolen and the book-because Mr..
Astranham intlmated to me that De-
brett King wanted to join the party
and we all know what Deb is after"
A rather peculiar look came about
Cecil Van Vliet's mouth.
so it Is the book or the girl con-
tinued the lawyer.
A dreamy smile fitted over the race
Of his hearer
"And which one is it, Van?"
Then came a quick movement from
the silent man and then decisive ut
terance.
1.-THE book them like the girl, bet
ter than l wish I did. But maybe the
book can win the girl-but the book
first at all hazards"
In the sloping roof Of a small white
cottage there was set deep dormer
window that looked over fields OF en-
srald wheat and on the brown clods
