we are using them by the dozen. not
to boost children, but to give the
women with tied-in skirts chance to

rarely difficult to be friend When
you call another friend, you give him
rights. You give him the right to
expect you to honor his confidence
not till you fall out, but forever. You
give him the right to expect your un-

any faults; your lips deaf to any Cos
sip; your lips mute except for quick
defense and sincere apology. You give
him the right to expect to find you
always the same kind. trustful, loyal

When man interferes with nature
he often finds that he has upset the
balance and brought new troubles in
to his life, says The Pathfinder. Ir-
rigation, unless done with great intel
ligence, will ruin land, by bringing
up salts from down deep in the soil
and making the land alkaline. Now
a new danger on the same score has
turned up in Egypt. The huge dams
on the Nile and other splendid irri-
cation works constructed by the gov
ernment there, under British authori-
ty are having an effect no one dream
ed of, namely, the water table," or
normal level of water In the soil, has
been raised so much that many lands
which were formerly dry are now
water-soaked or flooded. The result
Is that the water, coming up through
the soil, brings with 1t injurious salts,
thus destroying its fertility Already
great tracts of the best cotton lands
In Egypt, on which they raise the
cotton that brings 80 or 40 cents a
pound, have been injured in this way,
and the production OF Egyptian cot
ton, which Is the finest In the world,
is bound to show a decrease.
