A Happy Four.

Last summer four district school teach
ers from North Carolina rented a small
New York apartment belonging to family
who had fed the city's turmoil for a sum
mer camp on the banks of the st. Law
renee river. The girls found themselves in
possession of a comfortable, airy fiat on
the top floor of an almost deserted apart
ment house, near the Hudson river. They
prepared their own breakfasts and ate
lunch and dinner wherever sightseeing led
them BY the aid of a New York guide
book they laid out a campaign of sight
seeing which carried them into many his
torical spots and to many points of inter-
est where no admission was charged, 10
say nothing of Coney Island and other
strenuous resorts adjacent to the city. They
returned to their work refreshed and rest
ed, and all declared that it was a great
Improvement over boarding at some quiet
resort or studying in a summer school, as
several of them had done the year before.
In outlining her vacation plans a girl
should be careful to keep within her fnan-
cial limits, allowing liberal sum for con-
tingent expenses, which she will find sched-
uled in no summer guide book or summer
resort directory. Financial worry will de-
tract from the pleasures of the most de-
sirable resort. Some girls make the mis-
take of borrowing funds to extend their
vacation or to stay at a more pretentious
place than their small savings will permit
The result is a nervous anxiety which
counteracts all the good effects of the trip
Worried All the Time
One young woman borrowed money to
make up the amount needed for a summer
trip to Europe. 1t was a small sum, and
by doing extra work at night on her return
she was an expert accountant-she could
easily pay it back. During her travels
abroad she said the thought of that debt
began TO annoy her. And the more tired
she became from siEht-SRelnR the
shadow oppressed her. On the homeward
voyage the weather was very rough and
she had a severe attack of seasicknesA
The mental depression which comes with
this disorder was aggravated in her case

Reversed Things.

A mother whose chidrens social career
had followed fast a prolonged struggle
with the ills of childhood, a slight finan-
cial stringency and the problem of putting
two girls through college, rented a cottage
last season in certain summer school col
ony. The family lived in true camping
style and while the older children looked
after all matters domestic, the mother
studied Greek history and attended lee
lures art and science. AS a result she
came back to town brown as a berry from
long tramps, mentally refreshed by contact
with the bookish world she had loved in her
girlhood and eminently fit to launch her
eldest daughter On the social world. She
declared that if she had taken her flock to
a typical mountain or seaside resort the
social side of their vacation would have
furnished no recreation, as it would have
followed too closely the winter life in
town.
The city girl should seek her vacation at
a resort which carries her as far pos
sible from the influences of town, its noise
and its mad rush for supremacy, either in
business or society. On the other hand
the girl from "a small town, village or farm
who is planning little summer trip should
turn her face toward a big city, which, de-
spite its hustle confusion and heat will af-
ford, by direct contrast with her ordinary
life the very recreation or vacation she

BUNcolNe THE STOMACH.

The Massachusetts board of health
is a busy body not of necessity a
"busybody." but busy body, of men.
1t has made several discoveries with
regard to popular foods which have
kept the people of Massachusetts in
hot water, uncertain as to what they
should eat and, drink. The Massachu-
sets health officials have been reveal
ing several alleged authorizations and
the list is noteworthy. 1t finds that GER
tain popular brands of food and drink
are made up as follows:
Pepper. ground nutshells and fruit
stones, with a little pepper.
Mustard, chiefly wheat flour and tur-
meric Gan East Indian saffron colored
root with an acrid and pungent taste.)
Lime juice, little lime juice with
40 to GO per cent added water, preserv-
ed with sulphurous, salicylic or ben
zoic acid
Ale, liquid preserved with salicyl-
ic acid.
Porter, the same.
Maple syrup, C"pure Vermont')
largely cane sugar syrup.
Beer, preserved with salicylic acid.
CLANS, preserved with boric acid
These preservative preparations are
mostly hurtful to the health. but the
New York Mail has given to the world
the worst revelation Of the Massa-
chusetts authorities. Some smart
chemist says the Mail, has discov-
cred that the offensive odor of spoiled
eggs can be neutralized by the addi-
ton Of formaldehyde, and since this
discovery was made regular bust
ness has arisen of taking utterly de-
cayed eggs, mixing their contents to-
gether, treating them with this deo-
dorant and with an acid preservative,
and selling them to bakers who use
them in making cake and other foods
which they sell to the public. These
eggs are commercially known as
mixed eggs The acids used in them,
render them distinctly hurtful to the
health. as well as an odious fraud on
the public But since the process was
introduced, mixed eggs which were
formerly used only by leather manu-
facturers who employ them in certain
of their processes, have risen in price
from 10 cents per case to more than
dollar"
Isn't it about time for that national
pure food law?

DR.. GLADDEN. AGAIN.

The action of the American board

church in turning down the resolution

ing tainted money" is in line with
good judgment and common sense. No
one will think for minute that the
other men on that board are less sin
cere in their Christianity than is DR.
Gladden because they do not join in
his views as to Mr.. Rockefeller's
money Perhaps they do not think it
is obtained in just the manner that
every man with a conscience would
like to get his money, but that ques-
ton does not necessarily enter into
the proposition as it now stands
The Congregational board of mis-
slons, like any other religious body
has for one Ct its chief objects as an
organization the securing of money
which can be used Tor the spreading
of the gospel in foreign lands. This
board is not self supporting. 1t has
no means of revenue except as it OBJ
tains donations from members of the
church or believers in the work of
missions. When it gets the money,
however, it apportions it among the
various missionaries at the foreign
stations, where it is used to pay the
salaries of the missionaries and to
make it possible for them to remain
in the foreign nations and to carry on
the great work in which they are en-
gagged.
Looking at the matter from prac.
teal standpoint, why will not a dollar
of profit on Standard Oil go just as
far and do as much good as dollar
given to the board Of missions by a
clerk who receives SIP a week for
working six hard, long days behind a
counter? Could there be better use
for money that is gained dishonesty?
Would not the world be better if all
the money obtained through dishonest
channels were to be turned over to
the church for use in spreading the
gospel? Could not more good be ac-
complished if this we're the case than
is accomplished now, when every
church is asking for funds to carry on
it's worn.
Dr. GLADDEN. has made splendid
reputation as a pulpit orator, but his
unfortunate break on the tainted
money" agitation has done more to
break down that reputation than any
thing he could have done not overstep-
ping the bounds of morality. He has

HANGINGs IN IOWA.

Not for several years has there been
legal hanging in Iowa, but Governor
Cummins has this week condemned
two men to die on the gallows in expia-
ton OF two murders committed within
the borders of the state. One of these
is Joseph Smith, negro coal miner
who came to Iowa from Virginia sew
eral years ago. Smith was, apparently,
a peaceable fellow, ignorant and some
what fond of liquor, but no worse than
the majority of itinerant negro miners
who may be found in the various coal
fields. But his peaceable character
istics were only on the surface, appar-
emily, for one morning he journeyed to
Buxton and to the home of woman
named Canedy, who had been a sweet
heart of Smiths in the old days in
Virginia. The course of their love
didn't run smooth and the woman mar
ried another man. This did not deter
Smiths ardor, however, for he fol-
lowed her to Iowa, where, that morn
ing, he found her alone in her home
and after few words at the door, shot
her dead. There were no witnesses
who know the actual facts leading to
the shooting, but it is supposed that
Smith asked the woman to leave her
husband for him and she refused. He
will not say just why he shot her,
though he admits that he is guilty of
the murder.
The crime was a cold blooded one
and was committed in a community
that has furnished more murders to
! Iowa criminal history in the last few
years than any other community in the
state. Life seems to be held of little
value at Buxton and several murder
ers have escaped punishm ent after
having committed brutal crimes in the
mining camp.
