MOBILIZE
what One Doctor Believes.

DR.. Alfred A. Cole, of Chicago, be-
lieves that what is now the human
race once consisted entirely of stones
and vegetables. He says that "the
spiritual soul is i~ncarnated seven times
in each of the three kingdoms. From
the mineral kingdom it goes to the
vegetable, and from the vegetable to
the animal"
Now, there is something for you to
think about. The next time you are
eating potatoes or 'p'turnips," as they
are called by a 7-year-old neigh
Dor of mine, just pause and ponder
Who knows but that you may be de-
vouring the incipient soul of some
great parsonage to be? And when yor
have thought wisely and at length
masticate that morsel thoroughly, thai
you may hasten that soul on to its
next formation.
Have you ever felt afraid when, az
a child. you looked at some big, strong
hungry man eating his lunch after q
long wait? You say you have. Well
who can tell but what that fear was
prompted by a dim, vague recollection
of having been swallowed whole by
some greedy gourmand. when you were
nothing but an ambitious radish, push
ing forward toward a higher exist
ence

Such Ideas.

And perhaps some of the hard, hinty
people we meet nowadays are but
prototypes in character of what their
beings were in the dim, dark
ages of the beginning of things. Think
on, o reader, and then ask someone
to take you to a place of safety, where
k~ind-hearted nurses will sooth your
rawlings. for once started on such a
path you will be lost.
But, seriously, wouldn't it be UNI
comfortable to believe In such a thing?
OF course, l do not presume to be cap
able of arguing with a scientist who
probably has spent much time and
more thought upon his theories, and
is probably sure that he is right. but J
do say tina 1 would just hate to find
myself believing thus.
1t wouldn't seem so bad if he had
only discovered that we were beauti-
full flowers or luscious fruitsl But to
be told that nee Upon a time we were
nothing but garden sass" and Jumps
of stone is more than we a face with
equanimity.
Quite remarkable, being able tc
change from a stone into a vegetablel
Yet this is what happened to you, ac-
cording to DR.. Cole. He says: EVERY
world cycle is divided into seven as
poets. Each race has seven rounds and
seven races. Every spiritual sou
passes through the mineral, the vege-
table and the animal kingdom before
becoming human"
Well, we're human now, at any rate
Pretty soon wen begin to wonder
what Wen be next.

MOCK DUCK.

Pound well a round steak that is cut
about half an inch thick. Spread over 1t a
dressing as follows: Put in q frying pan
a lump Of butter the size of an egg, a tea
spoonful of grated onion and a pinch of

A TRANSFORMED MAIL KEG.


A nail-keg may be transformed into a
useful and ornamental receptacle for the
family scraps, with the additional advan-
tage that 1t Is practically indestructible.
Sandpaper the inside so as to remove all
splinters, and apply a coat of paint, or
several il necessary, allowing each to dry
thoroughly, and sandpapering slightly be-
fore the next is applied.

and gathered about two inches from the
edges at the top and bottom slip this
covering over the keg, and draw the gath

be put around the key ut both top and bot

description, the interior Of the keg was
painted green. and a green and red cover

moved and washed when it becomes soiled,

STYLISH FR0CKS FOR
SCHOOL GIRLS.

A store devoted to chlldrsn's raiment has
brought out a line of laundry frocks for
winter school wear that / am sure mothers
who prefer wash goods for dresses all the
year around will like to know about.
These costumes are made from a very
good quality of striped g~alatea, in designs
Of narrow stripes of red or blue on a white
background. These patterns are largely in
the o~ne-piece style, and fit girls up to
twelve years of age. The Norfolk and the
Russian ideas are suggested in their con-
struction. The sleeves are large bishop
shape and are confined with cuffs reaching
the wrist. The neck is cut out in Dutch
square for year with chemisettes. This is
necessary, as the material, being so heavy.
would be quite clumsy IL brought up to the
chin, and then again, this model allows
Of change in chemisettes.
In these fabrics nice frocks well made
can be bought for less than IS.
Another pretty little dress, suitable fol
afternoons, is Of dark wine-colored serge
1t is cut on the Russian blouse lines, WITH
quite full sleeves. The kimono sleeves Of
the serge are added. These are hemmet
with black and white striped silk, tn,
stripes Of equal width-one-quarter inch
and cut so that the design appears hori
zontally. The neck is cut in a square AM
trimmed with the striped silk and a narrow
black braid that ~conceals the connection
Of trimming and cloth.
The full sleeves and t~hree-ouarter lcugtf
in loose cuffs of the SILK, and pretty uftl,
puffs of lingerie make an agreeable relic
at the wrists. The chemisette OF lingeri,
completes an extremely smart yet practica
frock that may be easily copied at home.
Children continue to wear plaid frocks
mohsirs, the light woolens and the silk an,
wool mixtures.
