Il is impossible to think OF summer
entertaining without planning some
cool. refreshing drink. This is per-
fectly natural and right during the
heated season, but there are also
some very important things to avoid.
First-Beverages are to Quench
thirst and not to satisfy false crav-
ing or appetite. If iced, never drink
them rapidly nor with hearty meals,
as they retard digestion.
Second-Beverage such as water
and all fruit juices are necessary in
the circulatory system.
Third-They help regulate the bod
lily temperature.
Fourth-They assist in carrying OF
waste.
Fifth-Good fruit juice beverages
stimulate the nervous system and var
ious organs.
Any of these summer beverages may
be served for afternoon indoor, porch
entertaining or for more formal even
ing affairs. In fact, there is no time
when a nice lemonade or fruit drink
is not acceptable. A wise plan is
to squeeze the juice from lemons and
seal in a fruit jar and have ready at
once for use. 1t is also a good plan
to boil sugar and water together and
have that in a jar ready for instant
use.
Then with shaved ice and slice
of orange or pineapple, or pineapple
and grape juice, beverages in the sum
mer are not such a serious problem
after all.

LANGUAGE WORK.
AMERICAN RED CROSS SOCIETY


In 1864 about forty of the principal
countries of the world sent men to a
conference in Switzerland to study
ways and means for taking care of
the sick and suffering during wars. A
Frence gentleman thought of the
plan first but the Commander-in-ch chief
of the Swiss army was the first leader
of the organization. In his honor the
Swiss colors are used for this society.
Switzerland's flag is a white cross on
a red ground while the society uses a
red cross on the white ground. When
the society was first formed it was
simply to care for the suffering dur
ing war. All classes, no matter to
what side they belonged, were cared
for alike by the Red Cross nurses and
helpers. They were allowed to go
wherever they pleased on the battle
ground. Any person or wagon bear
ing the Red Cross was not bothered.
Now the hospital flag of every nation
must be red Greek cross on white
ground and every person and ambu-
lance connected with such work SO
designated.
| To-day the work of this society is
not limited to war times They care
for sufferers of famine, fire, disease
and other misfortunes of national
notice. Miss Clara Barton is the IA
nous founder of the American organi-
zation. She has been faithful work
er and leader. The society under her
leadership did an immense work in
aiding the sufferers of the Cuban
wars. Many of the workers went to
Cuba to study the sanitary conditions
there and it was due to their efforts
that such Improvements were made.
The main hospital is at New York.
At present much thought and energy
and money is devoted to wiping out
the tuberculosis in the world. The
school children of our county are
helping the society this year by sell
ling their Christmas seals. Our school
sold three hundred of these seals, at
penny apiece and the three dollars
will be sent to Topeka to Miss L. A.

Merry Xmas.
By Peter Mondloch


Rejoice yein the Lord on this festi-
val day
For the living bread came from
heaven to nourish.
His delight it was to be with the
children of men on earth
Whose great desire it was that all
men should be safe
And share in His eternal bliss in
His kingdom for ever,
He sacrificed in our behalf to His
heavenly father on high
Who can fathom the finite love of
God towards men
Who didn't even spare his beloved
son to make atonement
And said. turn to me in whatever
tribulation l will hear We
So let us when in need with faith
full heart approach our merciful
With our petitions, and he will not
let US suffer want
For He is our shepherd and refuge
so take heart and be not troub-

THE RETURN OF THE CHRISTMAS
SPIRIT.
Father, a sad expression on his face,
came slowly up the path from the
postoffice, where he had hoped to re-
ceive letter. A cloud passed over
mothers face as he explained: .You
see, mother, the train is late maybe
we'll get our Betty's letter to-mor-
row."
Eyes, yes" she answered, Ebut
wish it had come tonight
Betty had left home three years be-
fore and gone to the city. She had
sent them two Christmas letters, and
in her last letter she had said 'sDo
not forget that 1 will soon send the
third and you will have it in time to
read Christmas eve, Just as you did
the other two.
There were three boys, John,
Richard and William, and but one
girl, Betty.

derful day for u.s. mused mother.
First our wedding day, and then

Betty is thirty today. The years
have been happy and short but

Father broke the silence. We are
too old Martha, we are not of much
use in the world any more. Who
would have thought that happy
Christmas so long ago that. the time
would come when we would be all
alone2 Why even Betty has forgotten
u.s.
! After awhile the mother became
sleepy. ST am so tired, perhaps Bet
ty's letter will come in the morning" !"
Her tired eyes closed. But the father
could not sleep. He knew the last
train to carry Betty's letter had come
and gone. The tears gathered one by
one in his eyes and slowly, one by one,
he wiped them away. Had the child
rem forgotten?
! The passenger train had arrived
and four figures alighted.> They
turned in at the old gate at home
and peered in at the window. 1t
seemed strange to see father in tears,
this the happiest time of all the yearl

tears TURNED to joy. Mother opened
her eyes. Is it morning2'' then
