Speaking of vague Authorizations, there

Sometimes life becomes SO monotonous

Among other unpopular fiction is q

People think they are pretty smart, but
lots of people to whom it will make no

vista of rare possibilities it presents
for the people to save money on every
thing they use If the merchants who
handle these things only put the prices
up sufficiently to shut off all possible
waste. just take meat for single ex-
ample Goodness knows, the prices OF
meat are rather high now. The house
hold tat would waste gas would waste
meat and everything else. Maybe this
waste in meat could be stopped If the
beef trust doubled the present prices.
Assuredly such an increase would have
a decided tendency to shut off any
thing that savored of waste. Thrifty
households, perforce, would soon find
palatable uses for the bones which cost
just as much as the meat that is
fastened to them. If more than half
of steak or chop is now wasted
and this waste were saved, doubling
the price of such meat would mean
the saving of a few cents on present
prices on every pound used. And soon
there wouldn't be anything like meat
shortage.
This scheme of the gas men is the
greatest one that the human mind has
ever evolved-on paper.

says UNCLE CIV

A clever friend of mine once wrote
fable concerning the freckle-faced
boy who, having been scorned by his
lady love, went forth, located a mine,
poverty out of existence and came
back to marry the girl. The moral
was that the blast that loosens up
the gold puts the freckles out of bust
ness.
It's moral that's worth more than
most. The ugliest man 1 ever knew
won football honors and became the
co-ed's equivalent for a hero. 1 have
seen an i1l-tempered and therefore
deSp1Sed little hunchback take a brace
go to work smflingly and become the
best-loved citizen of his community.
I knew woman once whose face was
so marked with burns that she called
it horrible, and it was horrible until
one knew her. Then her natural ami
nation, her keen intellectually her
unselfishness and tenderness seemed
to give her countenance a light that
outshone the physical blemishes. And
stood beside the flower-heaped bier
and said, ''She had the most beautiful
face in the world"
Say what you will of society at

that it has little time to consider ap-
pearances if the deeds be not lacking.
Manly deeds straighten out the
hunched back, woman1y worth covers

becomes heroic in the light of heroic
action.
The world has few handsome he
roines. yellow newspapers to the con-
trary notwithstanding A cIub-foot is
no bar to social favor and many a
cripple has been a lion. The best be-
loved president of the United States
was the ugliest. The Maid of Orleans
was no beauty. Caesar was an epilep-
tic, and the demigods of war have
been given their ccmeliness by the
uncertain hand of tradition. There
never was a truer saying put into
mflksop language than Pretty is as
pretty does"

DEVELOPING THE ADJUNCT

Foxy people, those Canadians. They
set up a roar of indignation when a
letter written by thepresident was pub
lished in which he referred to Canada
as an adjunct" of the United States.
in case the reciprocity treaty went into
effect And all tLe while they have
been quietly working to make the Unit
ed States an adjunct of Canada.
The cat was let out of the bag when
it became necessary to make public the
fact that preparations were under way
for guaranteeing fifteen millions of
bonds, which are to be sold to raise
money for tunneling the st. Lawrence
river at Montreal, for the use of the
Grand Trunk railway. Furthermore, it
is to be noted that there are
five times as many miles of
Canadian owned railways in the
United States as there miles Of
American railways in Canada. Also,
the Dominion government has suspend
ed the operation of one OF its exclusion
laws to permit the Importation Of la
borers from the United States for rail-
road construction work.
But it's all right. Uncle Sam is big
and strong enough to carry the Lady
of the Shows on hi< shoulder without
feeling the weight, and gallant enough
to take genuine delight in doing it.

EVENING CHIT

woman came home from a shopping
tired.
'It seems as If I simply must lie down
and rest two or three hours" she said
why don't you?" asked her neighbor.
How can II" said the woman. SLook
at all I've got to do before dinner. I
never ought to have gone on and left my
work, but I felt as if I must take advan-

II can't spare ten minutes" said the
woman doggedly, and she donned her
apron and went YEARLY to work.
Whereby she proved that, like most wo-
dous interest which a small investment

viii 1pay.
The value of little rests and relaxations
is something the average woman does
not seem to understand. If she cannot
rest an hour or two, she will not rest at
beautiful morning and feels that she
would like to go off for an outing, but it
never occurs to her that half an hour
walk would freshen her up and make life
much more hvable
If you finish some task and find that
you are tired out, before you face the
absolutely relax for ten or fifteen minutes.
You will not lose those minutes; on the
contrary. you will get them back with
interest in your greater facility.
If you have brain work to do and your
brain is confused or excited, lay your task
aside, and pick up some easy" book, and
read for fifteen minutes or a half hour.
If you come home from some expedition
tired out and have work awaiting you,
spend five minutes bathing your face in
hot water and ten minutes just relaxing,
then drink little warm milk, or eat some
other simple lunch, and see how different
the world looks.
Five minutes complete rest before eat
ing when you are very tired will double
the nutritive value of your meal.
You have probably heard of the new
science of scientific management which
aims to so improve working conditions
that a much larger output per man will
be possible. An experiment was made
with a man who was loading pig iron.
He was offered large wages to do a GER
tain task. But he was not left to himself
to do it. If he had been, the investigator
point out, ''he would have kept so stead
lily at his work that his muscles would
not have had the proper periods of rest
absolutely needed for recuperation, and
he would have been completely exhausted
early in the day." To prevent this, a man
who understood the law of rest stood
over him and told him when to work
and when to rest. AS result of this
schedule the man loaded 471x tons a day
as against 121k under the old system-a
gain of approximately 4009o-
That is one example of the value of
little rests at the right moment. Verbum

But what she looked was nothing

beating heart. When close within his
arms she lightly bound upon him the
white badge of safety, suddenly he
understood. She loved him-not of
merit. but of free grace. She was a
woman, beautiful, untouched, true
and tender. Juliettel Juliette had
content to have but one. So as the
curtain fell he bent and kissed Grace
again, whispering softly: "You have
