FALSE HUNGER
A Symptom of Stomach Trouble Cor
rected by Good Food.

There is, with some forms Of stom-
Ach trouble, an abnormal craving for
food which is frequently mistaken for
a good appetite" A lady teacher
writes from Carthage, Mo, to ex-
plain how with good food The dealt
with this sort of hurtful hunger.
Il have taught school for fifteen
years, and up to nine years ago had
good, average health. Nine years ago,
however, my health began to fail,
and continued to grow worse steadily,
in spite of doctors prescriptions, and
everything could do. During all this
time my appetite continued good, only
the more l ate the more l wanted to
eat-I was always hungry.

down were distressing nervousness
and a loss of flesh. The nervousness
grew so bad that finally it amounted to
actual prostration. Then came stcfn-

Built Church in a Day.


To build a church in day was the
clever feat recently accomplished by
some $50 members of the Church Of
Christ, says a dispatch from Mel
bourne, Australia. The building,
substantial, permanent, wooden
church with accommodation for over
300 persons, was erected within the
twenty-four hours at Preston, near
Melbourne, by volunteer ,abor. The
building began at one o'clock in the
morning, when the holes were dug for
the foundation posts, and it was COM
pleted by acetylene gas light shortly
after eleven o'clock at night, when
the last screw in the door locks was
driven home The workers" included
some 80 skilled carpenters and 20
painters, who followed the carpenters
in their work stage by stage. Those
who could neither dig, paint, saw nor
hoist were busy feeding the builders.
Even the minister did his share Of
digging. Thousands of enthusiastic
spectators watched the operations, and
miles of bioscope films were taken.
When the church was opened next
day it was found unnecessary to at
tend to a single detail. Pews, gas
fittings, notice boards, pulpit, etc.,
were all in position.

NeiqhborIiness a Virtue That
Should Be Extended to Office
and Store.
DUTY DOES NOT END AT HOME
Just as IL Makes Community Pleas
anter to Live In, So Does Neigh
borIy Spirit Make the BusL
nsss Place Much Pleas
anter to Work in.

Being neighborly is held up some
what es virtue, and when we do our
duty as we see it to the people in the
houses each side Of US we have viz
tuous sensation that makes us feel
well satisfied with ourselves and the
world in general. But having done our
duty by the people in the houses each
side of US. we are apt to feel that we
have fulfilled all our obligations to be
neighborly, writes Alice Maron in the
Chicago Tribune.
Being neighborly isn't necessarily
confined in it's activities to this limit
ed field. The girl In business can be
neighborly to the girl who sits al the
next typewriter, or to the one who
rubs elbows with her behind the coun-
ter. Many a girl will be pleasant to
the people next door, because she
knows the traditions of the neighbor-
hood expect this of her, and be down
right unkind to the girl who works
next to her The one whose neighbor-
Illness is Of this kind is not truly
neighborly. She Is only conventional
ly neighborly.
Yet neighborliness is just as much
needed in business as it is in the
block in which one may live. Indeed
it may be more needed. The girl
next to you may be hungry for lit
tie neighborliness, or her success
may depend upon little neighborly
hn he Che ha
crude. She may be inexperienced in
the business world. She may be
lonely.
One needn't gush over her or swear
eternal friendship, but one can in
the true neighborIy spirit give the
little word of advice or the few min
utes' chat that will brighten the bust
ness world for her.
The girl who is new in business
finds it hard enough to be surrounded
by strangers and her mind filled with
confusing number of directions
about her work, without having to
feel in addition that she is being
watched and commented upon by
critical fellow workers. The girl who
will be neighborly at such a time to
the new worker does far more for
her by these little neighborly acts or
words than she may herself think.
They seem trifes to her. But they
are worth much to the new worker. 81
Many large business organizations
have welfare women now who play
the part of the good neighbor to the
inexperienced or lonely girls in the
employ Of tie firm. But paid neigh
borliness does not reach the heart of
all girls like the genuine neighborli-
ness of the one who works beside
her
So do not expend all your neighbor-
Illness upon the people who live next
door Be neighborly to the one who
works beside you as to the one who
lives beside you. For just as neigh
borliness makes a community pleas
anter to live in, so does the neighbor-
ly spirit make the business place
pleasanter to work In.

USUALLY LOOKS OLDER THAN
GIRL WHO STAYS HOME.
Her Nerves Wear Out at Twenty-Five
and She Is Less Able to
Stand Strain.

The girl who works at home de-
serves both congratulation and sympa-
thy; congratulation because she is
really fortunate, sympathy because
she does not know it, and Is often
disconnected and even unhappy be-
cause of the lot which has been melted
out to her
1t is hard for the home girl to wear
last years suit when her next door
neighbor, who is a stenographer at
$40 a week, has a new one. When she
sees her friends hat of the very new
est style, she is miserably conscious
that her own is retrimmed and by no
stretch of the imagination could seem
to be new. There is no use in saying
that clothes are not really important;
in the feeling of a CIR! they are, and
therefore they are.
A lesser trouble is that after her
friends go to work down town, by de-
grees she and they begin to have less,
in common. Their interests are so
different from hers; what they do
seems to her so much more engross-
ing than what she does that by de-
grees she falls into the habit of listen
ing only, of feeling that she has moth
ing to offer which can appeal to them.
This is the dark side of the life Of
the girl who works at home, but there
Is a bright side, and moreover there
are possibilities for increased bright
ness and interest which the home girl
should seize and make the most Of.
Granted that she wants excitement,
the excitement of the life down town
is not good for her health or for her
appearance.
The girl of rs who has worked
down town usually looks older than
the girl of the same age who has
stayed at home. If the former has a
headache, she may not save herself
as the girl at home can; she must be
in her place or run the risk of losing
her position or of being counted I'M
reliable physically; the little lines of
care soon begin to show themselves
about her mouth and on her forehead
Her nerves begin to wear out, and at
rs she is far less able to stand any
severe strain; far more liable, other
things being equal, to take cold or
succumb to an illness than her friend
who has stayed in the home.-Wom-

WORK AGES A GIRL
True Secret of Success.

Business courses are valuable, while
consecutive study on business lines
Is not to be despised; but above all
else is your indefatigable determine
ton to be a success in whatever you
are doing. Get to work-don't just
talk work and lament at your neigh
boris success. Strenuous, earnest,
honest and willing efforts are the key
note to advancement. l don't care
fig that l was seemingly handicapped
by lack of business proclivities so
far as my ancestors and life environ
ment had surrounded me. The real
point was not so much What do you
know as What can you learn to
do?" and with this in mind and my
purpose set toward success l eclipsed
my own most sanguine hopes at the
outset and made of myself g hard
worker, a plain, firm, and successful
business woman.
To all those depending on luck"
in life let me implore you to close
your eyes and ears to this illusion.
Luck is what we make 1t ourselves.
1t is not a golden spoon 5irthright ex-
cept as a reward for our own honest
efforts. That some persons succeed
where others fail is because hard
labor of hand or brain has at last met
its reward over against another's
half-hearted or shifting interest.
The business world is a mighty edu-
Gator and a field for self-conquests
and character building such as l
know not of in books. If you've got
to be in business, be thankful for it
and make of yourself and 1t the sue
cess that is always waiting to be won.
Luck" won't come to you, nor will
you find it unawares; but luck" can
be made by each one, and because
know this I smile a benevolent smile

not pride-when my friends say to
me: How lucky you are in having
such a fine business, position" 1

Rihe for Under Water Use.

When he is working in water infest-
ed by sharks and other sea monsters
likely to do him harm, the diver has
at present to rely for his safety on the
use of the knife or, falling that, on
quick return to the surface. Now
comes the invention of Captain Grobl.
a German diving instructor, who has
constructed rifle which can be fired
under water, and is designed for the
better arming of the diver. The most
remarkable thing about this is that 1t
fires, not bullets, but water, which is
propelled with such farce that it has
an extraordinary power of penetration.
Indeed, the inventor himself has
pierced armor plate of medium thick
ness with the water jet from his
weapon. The rifle has a stout barrel
and is loaded with cartridge cased
in India rubber.

LABOR LAW STRINGENT
CHILDREN AND WOMEN ARE
PROTECTED IN GERMANY.
Hours of Labor Are Restricted and
Rest Periods Are Strictly
Enforced.

The most stringent regulations pass
ed by the German government are
those affecting children and women,
and it is in this respect that the state
has clearly in view the interests Of
the community as represented by Its
workers.
The total number of children under
Ii years employed for special reasons
and exempt by law in the manufacture
ing industries in Germany is about
1880, writes w. H. Dooley in the At
lantic Monthly. These children are
between 13 and IA, and the hours of
employment are restricted to six, with
half an hour interval for meals. Be-
tween ii and 16 they may work not
more than 10 hours, they must have
an hours pause at midday, and half
an hour both In the forenoon and aft
ernoon, unless their working day is
not more than eight hours; no contin-
uous period exceeds four hours.
During the rest periods, any parti-
cipation in work is forbidden, even re-
naming in the room is allowed only
when their own department Of the
work is brought to complete stand
still. When past IS, they cease to be
youthful workers and are under no
special regulations except that all I'M
der 81 must be provided with work
book" or register, containing name,
age, birthplace, nature of employment,
date of engagement, discharge and
other particulars.
All boys under Is are obliged to
attend a continuation school for nine
or ten hours during the week. where
they receive instructions in the tech
meal knowledge of their trade, and
religious instruction from their own
clergyman. This time is taken out Of
the regular work-day without loss of
pay. In number Of larger engineer
ing and machine shops the writer saw
no youthful workers.
