Get The Best Out Of. Life.

Not so very many years ago each
family supplied it's own needs-wove
its own clothing, grew its own food
supplies, and built it's own simple
furniture.
Through differences in ability
some people could make certain
articles better than any one else.
Gradually they made more and more
of these goods and exchanged them
for other needed things. But they
, could sell only to those within easy
reach, because transportation ia
cilities were limited.
Nowadays your clothing may come
from the north, your hats from the
east, your foods from the south, and
your furniture from the west. The
makers OF these things must find
you, the man or woman who needs
their product. The means they take
to bring their goods before you is
advertising.
1t is to your advantage, there
fore, to read the advertisements in
THE BANNER. That Is one GER
tain way to get the best out OF life
in the way of new comforts, luxuries
and necessities of an advancing civil
lization.-Adv.

How to Make a Chicken Have
Long Legs.

In the current issue of Farm &
Fireside appears an interesting ar
ticle on the training of champion
chickens. Following is an extract:
"Of course. with costly prize

Whu Men Find Life livab|e.

In an article in the February Wo-
mans Home Companion, in which
the author describes ''The Arabian
Nights" as one of the greatest books
in the world, appears the following
passage:
"It is a thing of some dignity,
this gift, this power of imaging and
imagining. It is indeed the root of
all romance. 1t is that thing where.
by, when reality presses too hard
upon him, man makes life livable
yet while. He imagines things
other than they are, pictures them
in happier fashion, makes good out
of evil, and builds happiness on the
ruins of unhappiness.
"But the thing goes deeper yet,
even. For when we trace magma
ton and romance deeper than our
first impressions of them, we find
them rooted in what else but mans
hope. Things dire in themselves he
has turned to lovely uses. Placed
In a world where all things threat
ened him, where fire burned and
frost bit him, and where great ma
tural forces overpowered him, like
the genie of the Arabian Nights
tales, what could one suppose the
outcome would be save ignominious
defeat? Yet the end is not defeat,
but victory. For always within him,
however temporary powers might
seem to defeat him, always there
was mans faculty for hope, an UNI
dying, imaginative, unconquerable
thing. Always there was his power
of imagining the world not as it
was, all about him, but as it might
be, as he wished it. might be, and,
little by little, through the ages,
hoped it might be. So, imagining
better things, hoping better things,
he went back to his tasks again and
again; and to his sorrows, refreshed
and strengthened for new endeavor.
So, little by little. and by thou
sand and one ingenuities and inven-
tons pictured first in the minds
eye, man fulfilled his daring hopes
and attained his masterful destiny"

F Faddma, Mohammedan Dan
seuse in The Garden of
Allah," Says Women Of Her
Land Should Be Pittied.
by JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

In the new famous Lebler production of
the New National Theater during the
early part of April. there is a Moorish
woman who gives such an account Of the
life and habits of her countrywomen as
to make the Occidental woman feel pity
for her sisters Of the Orient. and graft
tude that she herself was born in a land
where women enjoy. in the main, the
same privileges as men.
Faddma is the name OF this cafe dancer,
who figures conspicuously in the spectacu-
lar drama of Oriental life-a cogomen to
our western ears symbolic of Turkish
cigarettes-suggestive OF all the mysteri-
Gus charm that the eternally unknown and
never fathomed East Possesses. 1t Is prob
ably the thought of the majority OF folk
who have seen the Garden OF Allah that
Faddma is just clever actress interpret
tating a pantomimic role. In reality she
is a real Moorish woman, and strict
Mohammedan.
Faddma on the stage with her reckless
diablerie and her saucy cigarette Is quite
different person from the demure little
woman who greets you after her seduc-
tive dance when you go to ask her some
thing about the generations Of secluded
Moorish women. whose stifed cravings
freedom anu
knowledge speaks through this alert little
Moroccan. who is so keenly interested in
everything and everybody in the great
world which she has found to be such
wonderful place for women since she left
Morocco.
Needs Your Pity.
She will tell you with a sigh that the
poor Moorish woman needs your pity
That from the day OF her birth to the day
of her death she never has a cent Of
actual money: that. while she wears the
trousers. she doesn't possess an atom OF
the authority which goes with them. but
at the same time that no Moorish woman
ever works. and that no Moor Is ever
hailed into court for nonsupport.
Try to ina gine this woman from TanGier
the city where there Is never a tramway
or hackney cab; no railroad: no telegraph:
no postal servicel. this woman whose very
religion encourages languor and little en-
deavor with its teachings that nothing
ever really matters. finding herself in

I like il much. Never could I be content
to return to Tangier and the life Of the
women there. You American women-so
self-confident and free-you are wonderful
to me! don't think you begin to realize
how fortunate you are, because you see
you are born free and don't know what
it means to be anything else.
In my country a man can have as
many wives as he can support. The
woman bows to the man. Her life re-

lifts her little finger and men are hers TO
command. In my country woman
washes the feet of her husband and con-
siders herself honored with the task.
Once that arrangement seemed natural
and right to me. Now. since l have seen
your women I cannot understand how the
women of the East have borne it so
long.

customed to an entirely circumscribed

great care and precaution she would not
be able to maintain the proper moral
standard. It would be like putting a six

For the Tea Table.

A woman who has lived abroad for
many years. where they make cup OF
tea as carefully as they make a cake,
saws the lemon should never be cut until
it is to be used. Have small, sharp
knife on the table and cut each slice as
desired, never cutting dishful of lemons
to stand for an hour or even few min
utes.
A good tid-bit for the tea table can be
made with triscu!t and marmalade.
Break each piece In two. making thus two
small squares, put a row of Neufchatel
cheese around the edge and drop OF
orange or tangerine marmalade In tho
center. This makes just the right sized
wafer and has a luscious flavor.
Instead Of lemon in the tea. try
Maraschino cherry and teaspoonful Of
the wine that comes with them. Or an
other flavor that may be used In tea Is
rum. This Is called Russian tea. One
uses no sugar or cream or lemon and
lust a teaspoonful Of rum.
