We're elected delegates to the City Fed
GRAFTON meeting next Friday. with Mrs.
May F. Montgomery. Miss Alice Card
ner and Mrs. Fred Wilbur as alternates.
The program was in charge of the
home and education department, Mrs.

gave q short talk on the general sub
iect of health. Miss Edith Charlton,
head OF the domestic, economy depart
ment Of Iowa state college, who con-
Quoted the short course work here last
February and who expects to do SO
again this winter. spoke on the sub
ject OF practical Housekeeping We
can't have that, she said, without prac-
tical housekeepers. Instead of increased
work, practical housekeeping means
sinplified living, and domestic sci
ence teaches the use of all materfa
things in order to get the highest good
out of them
Miss Charlton dwelt especially upon
what we eat. Her advice. is to do less
cooking. but better and more intelli-
gently, and she proceeded to illustrate
how this could be done. Food was
classified as follows That which builds
up the tissues; that which gives heat;
that which gives both heat and energy;
water; and mineral matter. Mhzsl
Charlton also gave the following ex
cellent prescription for good health:
Proper nourishment in the right
amount (and the latter generally
means less than we are taking): plenty
of fresh air, internally and externally;
eight hours sleep out of every twenty
four; fair share of work and a cor
responding amount of recreation: and
last, but perhaps most important of all,
cheerful mind
The program closed with a vocal
solo, "A Winter Lullaby" Ode Koven)
by Miss Lillian Welker, whose accom-
PIANIST was Mr. Hosford Plowe. Miss
Welller responded to an enthusiastic
encore, with another Of De Koven's
songs, My Halne Is Where the Heath

A great many men have lost their lives in the
terrible climate of the Dark Continent, as it is
called, three of whom deserve special mention.
First, Robert Moffat He was a Scotchman,
and as a boy used to sit at his mothers knee and
listen to stories about missionaries in foreign
lands. One day, when he was young man, he
saw notice of meeting where missionary
was to speak, and the old stories came to his mind
and he went to the meeting. He was so much in
terested that he decided to go himself, and after
preparing himself by study he sailed for South
Africa in 1916. OF all the hard work he had, and
the dangers he went through among the savage
people, cannot be given, but he worked there with
his wife, Mary Moffat, ffty gears, only going to
England once in that time, and that was to have

7ge Secret ST His Courage

The Blue Wing steamed up the river heavily
freighted that morning; throng of city children
were aboard their way to picnic at Beck
ner's Point.
A beautiful place than Beckner's Point
for days outing could scarcely have been found;
a long, level bank, with here and there spreading
naples or clustering locusts, which made great
circles of shade with spaces large and smooth
enough between for tennis and crOquet. A few
rods farther up the river making the northern
boundary of the grounds, low shrubgrown
promontory, jutting out almost to the current on
the other side of which little boat that Mr..
Beckner kept anchored there, at the foot of his
lawn, ready to serve such members of his family
were masters of the oar
One objection might have been urged to these
pleasure grounds; the high chimneys of the fac
tory at the other end of the bridge (for just at
this point the bridge spanned the river) some
times sent pufS of smoke over to picnickers when
the wind from the south. But today the
breeze from the north. Anyway, what would
the discomfort of a little smoke have been to
children!
A cordial greeting they knew awaited Them
and enough, shortly after they had landed,
Mr.. Beckner was circulating among the groups,
making and renewing old acquaintances. He

slowly toward the current which was swift and

of the current. In little while he must be

against pier and killed.
Everyone rushed to the bridge and watched the
little doomed speck come nearer. cry of an

which the boy would drift.
AS the meaning of this act
flashed over the crowd, a
quick, sharp cry of applause
went up as if from one
throat. 1t was succeeded by
the stiffness of death, and
all eyes were fixed on the
man as he lowered himself
9to the water. He reached it
not a moment too soon, for
the child was scarcely a
yard off. He quickly ad-
justed the thongs in one
hand, and, stretching out
his disengaged arm, caught
the boy as he was sweeping
past. He did not attempt to
rise. The spectators at once
apprehended his plan-to lay
like a buoy on the water un-
til stronger ropes were low

In an incredibly short
time nooses were made and
let down. Securely he
placed first the boy and
then himself In them, and
soon both rescuer and res
cued were lifted to the
bridge. And then there
arose from the throng a cry
of joy that made the air
ring.

son to his heart, while his
