THINK ALL WRITING SACRED.
How the Chinese Dispose Of Letters
and Waste PAPERS.

~ "H~'Ss
The Chinese hold every scran O,
writing sacred, no matter what the
characters express-the merest com
mercial message, advertisement, etc,
since Confucius used those charac.
tiers to teach his wisdom, they are
holy.
In the average Chinese community
all letters and waste paper are laid
away In a clean receptacle to await
the collector, who appears at regular
intervals to transfer the waste pa.
pers to the sacred furnace. If the
papers were burned by the Chinese
IN their W homes the ashes of the
sacred writings would mingle with
the ashes OF wood and other fuel, and
the ashes of Chinese writings are as
sacred as the writing itself.
The ashes from the sacred furnace
are placed in sacks, the sacks are
conveyed by wagons to the sea, and
there, IN a Mon war boat, are carried
out where the tide runs swift and
consigned to the waves. The Mon
war boat belongs to the Mon War
Sher, which is a lodge with branches
everywhere, organized and main.
tained for the purpose of paying rev.
erence to the spirit of CONTIGUOUS.
The furnace in the Chinatown
which nearly every large city in the
United States harbors is generally a
brick, oven-like structure, about Ave
feet high. Opposite it on the wall
there will usually be an Inscription
OF the character Of the following:
The spirits Of our ancestors are
pleased that we keep sacred the
writing Of our country" The society
OF Mon War Sher (Club of Beautiful
Writng) is made up In each case Of

ORIGIN OF THE DAY AT HOME.
Started by Mile De Scudery In Paris
in the Eighteenth Century,,

in the Eighteenth Century.
The feminine custom Of having a
day at home originated in France in
the beginning of the eighteenth cen
fury with Mile. de Scudery, an author
ess and a m whom all the great
~personages of old Paris delighted to
honor.
Mile. de Scudery was as busy as
any modern American woman, and
for that reason, being also a wise
woman, she organized her activities.
She had two days a week at home.
Her Saturdays became historic, for it
was then she received the brilliant
men and beautiful women who made
famous the salon of the Hotel Ram
bouillet. On Tuesdays she received
her intimate friends.
Many French women of the great
world Of the present time have two
days at home a week, says Harper's
Bazaar; others receive certain hours,
say, until 3 in the afternoon, every
day IN the week, while women of the
middle class who have many serious
occupations permit themselves the
pleasure of seeing their friends at
home but n day in two weeks.
In any case French women es-
sentially preserve the charm Of the
custom established by Mile. de
Scudery, who achieved her success by
simple means which are quite within
the reach of every American woman.
Her small house in Paris stood in a
garden full of fruit-bearing trees sur
rounded by tall shrubs and bushes.
Conversation-that finest of all the
fine arts-was "litteraire ct galante,"
gay and cosby, according to the
character of those present, and If the
weather was fine they took a turn in
the garden gathering and eating cher
ries when the fruit was in season. In
short, the day was truly and in all
simplicity a day at home.
The average American woman lives
always under the oppressive shadow
of the unexpected guest; whether she
is making preserves, writing books,
shampooing her hair or spanking the
baby h is always under the strain
of the fear that somebody will drop
in; and such is the open door policy
or American hospitality, particularly
IN small towns, to be in the house
and not to receive the unexpected
guest is to convert a friend into an
enemy. What woman in what small
American town cannot provide as
much for herself and her friends? Let
her try it and see what benefits she
will reap from thus ordering her re.
latiOns with the world.

LESS MEAT
Advice of Family Physician.

Formerly people thought meat nee
essary for strength and muscula,
vigOr.
The man who worked hard was sup.
posed to require meat two or three
times a day. Science has found out
differently.
1t is now a common thing for a fam.
lily physician to order less meat, as in
the following letter from a N. Y. man
Il had suffered for years with dys.
pepsia and nervousness. My physician
advised me to eat less meat and
greasy foods generally. l tried several
things to take the place of my usual
breakfast of chops, fried potatoes, etc.
but got no relief until l tried Crane.
Nuts food.
After using Grape-Nuts for the
cereal part of my meals for two years,
l am now a we'll man. Grape-Nuts
benefited my health far more than the
$4,000 worth of medicine l had taken
before.
MY wife and children are healthier
than they had been for years, and we
are a very happy family, largely due to
Grape-Nuts.
we have been so much benefited
by Grane-Nuts that it would be un-

tlons of Los Angeles during the discus
sion of the proposed charter amend
ments. The meeting was called to or
der by Chairman G. H. Clayton at s
o'clock, in the assembly room of the
chamber Of commerce.
At times as many as half a dozen
members claimed the floor at once and
the gavel had to be used continually.
Delegates from ten improvement clubs
were present, and a number of other
civic organizations were represented. 1t
was feared the meeting might be
packed to defeat certain amendments.
At times delegates from the same
club split on questions and cast sepa-
rate votes. The discussion of the even
ing was on amendment No. 2, provid-
ing for the election of councilmen at
large, and on No 4, providing for the
direct primary. No. 2 was finally car
ried by vote of 16 to 20 and No.
unanimously.
There was a difference of opinion
over No. 6, which was finally carried
by Il to 19. No. was defeated, as was
No. 9, providing for an increase in the
salary of the mayor. There was tie
vote on No. 10.
All the salary increase amendments
were punched and voted down.
