EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON.

ooh. Just felt like it. so kept ago
ing until I got what I planned to do
done, and then I went to bed with a
raging headache. and today I'm a per-
feet wreck, explained my neighbor
when dropped in upon her in the mid
ole of the morning yesterday and found
her limp and wretched on the couch
with her morning work untouched.
II felt Ike it, is never sufficient
excuse for deliberately overdrawing
your fund of vitality.
Any more than it is an excuse for
the man who deliberately overdraws his
account at tine bank.
1t takes strength of mind to accom-
plish things in spite of difficulties, to
carry them through to the end in the
face of obstacles, but it often takes still
more strength and of a much higher
variety to lay aside an unfinished task
even though at the moment you may
feel like finishing it.
To know how to spend ones self to
the best adVantage-that is, so as to
get the most usefulness and enjoyment
out of a given amount Of vitality, is
much greater lesson than the wise use
of money, and one far fewer people
learn.
The woman who says, "Oh, just
want to finish this seam or get this
petal done before dark" and then
bends almost double over the work,
straining her eyes in the twilight to
reach the desired goal, is paying a
wretchedly high price for an absurdly
small accomplishment.
Just because the payment is not de-
manded of her for years she thinks she
has escaped without making it, but some
day when she is envying the fine, clear
eyes of the woman who had the self
control to lay aside the almost finished
work, she may realize that nature, al
though she often forgets for years to
ask payment on the checks you draw
upon your account with her, sooner or
later. surely oXactS 1t.
We have a great deal of talk these
days upon the conservation of natural
resources.
Wise people point out to us, how, by
using our great timber lands wisely and
farsightedly, instead of ruthlessly and
Unscientihca1ly. we can get just as
much out of them without exhausting
them.
Are the resources of nature any diff
ferent from the resources of the BODY
of man in this respect?
Are they any less susceptible of con-
servation?
Most of us applaud the people who
are trying to save tho resources OF ma
ture from short -signted misuse, and to
bring about a wise treatment of them
which will utilize without exhausting.
If we approve this principle why not
carry it into our own lives and apply
it to our utilization of our own vitality?

Fills has to fight off engagements as
hard as some people have to fight to
get them. The Frohman people were
after him, and the Blanche Walsh
company wanted to keep him; so they
effected a compromise by which he
was to play half of the season with
each company. Mr.. Fills had just
finished his sentence of hard labor
with the Blanche Walsh people before
the company came to Topeka This
was naturally a little disapp pointing to
Miss Kaiser, who had hoped to see his
work in the supporting company of the
great melodramatic star. z

for good that the hearing of the

children. Their growing minds are
benefited and their thoughts elevated

some impression that will be I'M

There is host of different ways
that the Victor can be made the cen ter
of happy family gathering. Beside
listening to the artists themselves it
is the best kind of fun for all to join
in with the Victor and sing too-a
rare treat indeed when the selection
happens to be one by the noted singers.
In this way new songs and beautiful
opera music can be learned in a sur
prisingly short time.
Another pleasant way is to use the
Victor in conjunction with the piano
or organ, especially on Sunday even
ings when sacred hymns are so APP
propriate.
Anyone who has not recently heard
the Victor will be astonisbed at the
remarkable improvements that have
been made, not only in the life-like
tone of the instrument itself, but also
in the Victor records, which the new
method of recording has brought to
the stage of perfection.
Victor dealers will gladly play any
selection in the Victor catalogue for
you.

Glover Seed Affected With
Honey Dew.
Glover

The clover seed growers of the Will
lamette Valley sometimes experience
considerable difficulty in recleaning
clover seed because a sticky substance
holds the seeds and trash together in
small masses about the size Of pea
This sticky substance is secreted by
plant lice which sometimes work on
clover. 1t is known as Honey Dew.
To clean clover seed which is
affected with honey dew, it is first
run through the tanning mill to re-
move the seed that is not stuck to-
gether. The small masses which are
stuck together go over the riddles
with the coarse trash. This seed,
together with the trash, is put into a
tub or other large vessel containing
water to dissolve the honey dew. This
requires but a very short time.
The water is then drained off and the
seed and trash spread out in a thin
layer on floor or canvas to dry.
After it is dry it is cleaned in the
ordinary way.

How to Make Winter Evenings

Now that summer is over and winter
will soon be here, the question of how
to pleasantly spend the long winter
evenings will be uppermost in the
minds of most of the family.
or course there will be work of
various kinds to do ami the usual di-
versions which naturally come in the
course of the winter season; and the
children will have their studies to
attend to. but nevertheless, there will
be many long hour, which, for want
of something better to do, will be
frittered away.
There is nothing that will break the
monotony of winter evenings and give
the entire family a means of mutual
interest and pleasure so much as the
improved Victor.
Not only does this wonderful in
strument bring into the family circle
the beautiful voices uf the world s
