EAT MORE CANDY.

Give children plenty Of pure sugar,
taffy and butterscotch and they'll
have little need of cod-liver oil" says
DR.. Woods Hutchinson in the Wo-
mans Home Companion.
in short, sugar is, after meat,
bread and butter, easily our next
most important and necessary food
You can put the matter to test very
easily. Just leave off the pie, pud
ding or other deserts at your luncn
or midday dinner You'll be aston
ished to find how quickly you'll feel
empty again, and how unfinished
the meal will seem You cant get
any working man to accept dinner
pail without pie In it. And he's absc-
lutely right. The only thing that can
take the place of sugar here is beer
or wine. 1t is a significant fact that
the free-lunch counters run In connec-
ton with bars furnish every imagin-
able thing except sweets. Even the
restaurants and lunch grills attached
to saloons or bars often refuse to
serve deserts of any sort They know
their business! The more sugar and
sweets a man takes at meal, the
less alcohol he wants. Conversely.
nearly every drinking man will tell
you that he has lost his taste for
sweets. The more candy nation con-
sumes. the less alcohol.
The United States government
buys pure candy by the ton and ships
It TO the Philippines to be sold at cost
to the soldiers In the canteens. All
men crave II in the tropics, and the
more they get Of It, the less vino
and whisky they want
"In fine. the prejudice against su.
gar is born Of puritanism and stingi-
: ess, equal parts. Whatever children

The Quaker Poet.

His mind was formed, his imagtna-

amid the fiery pressure of events. He
voiced not only those voiceless geDer-
ations of pioneers from which he
sprang. but also the dumb passion OF
sympathy, of Indignation, of Loyalty.

WOMEN AS CORN HuskERs.
Gathered 1926 Bushels to Pay rhelr
Pastors Salary.

Gathered 1875 Bushels to Pay Their
Pastors Salary.
The women of the Ladies AID So
ciety of the Methodist church, south.
of Lineville, Iowa, have recently estab-
lished a reputation as corn huskers.
They for a number of years have been
praised for their skill IN making
household articles. and their earnings
have gone to keep the church and par
sonage in repair, pay insurance and
meet incidental church expenses.
This year they promised 500 for
the preachers salary. They began to
plan for raising the amount, and in
the midst of their deliberations ole
generous brother, George Rockh0ll,
sent them word he would give them
FIVE wagon loads of corn If they woul6
come to his farm and husk 1t them
selves.
At once the offer was accepted
They donned their working garb and
went forth, forty-seven strong. to the.
fray. They drove in wagons TO Mr..
Rockhold's farm, four miles from
town, and pulled into the cornfleld as
soon as they arrived. Soon the big
ears of corn were bouncing and BUMP
ing into the wagons, beating time 10
the music of their laughter and chat.
ter.
BY II o'clock the wagons were Tiled
and they pulled out Of the field. The
husking measured 125 bushels, and
Mr.. Rockhold said it was shueked
clean. Then a dinner was spread at
! the home of the doner. The pastor S
wife made little address, extending
to Mr.. Rockhold their thanks. after
which they gave the Chautauqua sa-
| lutte and shouted Three cheers for
Brother Rockhold!"
Another team was secured and the
women returned to the field and
shocked thirty bushels of corn for
their benefactor. A long procession
was then formed, for there were quite
number of visitors, and they tool
up their line of march back to town
The pastor, Rev. John Holland, drove
wagon and headed the procession
AS many as could rode on the wagons
of corn. Others in buggies and sur
reys brought up the rear.
AS they came into town the brass
hand met them, and, to the strains OF
| lively music. they all marched around
the public square. 1t was as good as
show as ever visited Linevifle. The
same evening the corn was sold e
Thomas Lovett, who very generously
gave rs cents a bushel for It. With
the exception of few sore fingers
the women were none the worse foV
thir corn-husking experience.-Kansas

Lady Dutton'e Mard

81 shall not return to Grosyenor
Square without my treasures, saio
Lord Bayneham resolutely.
Had you not better prepare LAZY
Bayneham and Mss Earle for the SUI
prase?" suggested Mrs. Massey.
NO." replied Lord Bayneham; Il
dare not trust Hilda from my sight
again. They must return with me. 1t
can be easily managed: there are no
servants in the London house wac
know anything Of the sorrow we have
suffered or its cause Those with us
will think that, as 1 have been absent
the greater part of the d y, / have
been to fetcn their lady home"
at is so sudden" said Mrs. Massey;
"our house will have lost its sun
shine"
Think how long mine has been IN
darkness" repned Lord Bayneham.
II must take a1ilda and Lionel with
me. I could not | ave them, and my
mother must share my happiness.
NY poor mother-her hair is whitened
with sorrow-and Barbara Earle h1s
never ceased to grieve."
Never mind packing up" said Cap
tain Massey; Lord Bayneham is quite
right: his eife and child must go with
him."
Then Hilda drew near her husband,
and whispered something about her
fear and dread at seeing the countess
again.
"Hilda, said Lord Bayneham, my
mother blamed herself most bitterly
for not having loved you more. she
knows all your story, and believe me,
who never spoke falsely to you, she
loves you the better f. it"
The farewell was not taken without
many tears. In the midst CT her hap
piness, Lady nilda sorrowed at lety-
ing the friends who had been so kidd
to her. Every one in the house was
grieved at losing the be utiful, gentle
lady and her child; but Lionel was too
happy with his new papa to care for
anything else.
Lord Bayneham and his fair young
wife, with the little child, drove
home in the calm Of the sweet spring
evening. Never to them had the stars
shone so brightly; never had the soft
breeze told a sweeter story; never was
epring evening so holy, so happy as
this.
"You are at home" SAID Lord
Bayneham, as the carriage stopped al
the door,-"at home once more; and
dear Hilda, it shall not be my fault If
for the future. home is not heaven for
you"

CHAPTER xxx.


Lady Bayneham and Miss Earle sat
noralone N the drawing room in Gros-
venor Square. The clock had already
chimed ten, and Lord Bayneham had
said he should not be late.
IF you are tired, aunt" said Miss
Earle, 81 will wait for ClaAd.--Ae -siD

'I prefer waiting" said Lady Bayne-
ham. MY boys face was brighter
when he left home than have seen t
for many years. l am waiting, hoping
to see that bright look again"
It was not long before the roll of the
carriage was heard, and the loud
knock that resounded through the
house assured the countess of her
sons return. She rose from her seat
to greet him. His face, as he entered
the room, struck her with Armament.
What Is it CLAUDE" she asked.

good news?"

"A lady and little boy" he replied;
and his mother noticed how his voice
faltered over the words.
"a lady and little boy?" she
echoed In amazement. who are
they?"
A beautiful child now came into the
room.
"see," said Lord Bayneham. this is
my youngest guest"
What a lovely boy!" cried the
countess, raising him in her arms
"He is like one of Murillo's angels"
Kiss him, mother" said Lord
Baynenam; kiss him, an, welcome
him home"
Lady Bayneham's face wore a
startled look.
''Home!" she repeated; what do

Lady Bayneham could give no ans

lavished upon the child was answer

was fulfilled; she held her sons child,
the heir of Bayneham, in her arms.
The grand old race was not doomed
to extinction liter all. She found

WERE ONLY blUFFING

The japanese paper published on
Kauai is chuckling over the result OF
the recent Koloa -McBryde water fight
from the japanese standpoint. regret
ting that the matter has been taken
out Of the sphere OF warfare OF man
against man and made one of lawyer
against lawyer. As long as the fight
lasted in its acute" stage the Japs
had good thing out Of it. while at
no time was there any occasion TO do
anything but put UP a bluf. The fight
apparently was a good deal along the
lines OF some OF the pitched battles
over mining claims aud grazing rights
in the mainland west, where much
powder was burned but the list Of
fatalities was very small.
According to the Garden Island sheet.
the japanese were as warlike as they
could possibly be on one dollar a day
and keep. All they had to do was to
sit around and draw their rations,
making demonstrations in turn to pre-
serve the appearance that they were
really needed. AZ the same time there
was q perfect understanding between
the japanese Of the two plantations
that when the time came for any real
fighting, the japanese on both sides
would resign and draw their accumu-
lated pay. None OF them had any in
tention Of either hurting. anyone else
or getting hurt themselves in any ha-
ole row.
