FLAMING.

The artists idea Is that man can build for him
self a mental wall that win keep away the evil
hat iRterferes with him, and enable him to work
in peace and develop behind that wall.
And the picture. faneiful as it Is, with its
demons of gambling laziness etc, on the out
side, with the gOOd-lOOking young man cult
yatng his garden inside, is a truthful picture.
Men can protect themselves with a wall built
up of will power and freedom from false ideas,
superstitions, bigOtry and prejudice.
Man is a mental machine. The devils that live
in mans mind interfere with the machine.
You have got inside of your head, that white
ivory temple, brain inherited from thousands
of different animals that lived on this earth
ahead of you.
That wonderfully formed skull from which
you look out at the world is simply an expansion
4ad development of the tOpmOst joint in your
backbone.
In that developed, physical thinking machine
lives the soul which is YOU. And il is constantly
at war with the attractions the temptations, the
vices all the troubles that il has inherited from
animal ancestry and savage ancestry through
millions oil years.
Your fight against evil has got to be a fight
carried on inside OF your own mind.

We Can't Do It, the Chinese Do, With Wall of Stone
Our DeU Unlike Theirs Can Move in Very Crooked Lines
But Every Man, He Will Can Build for Himself Wall of
Character and Intellectual Habit That VIII Do What the Chinese
Wall Cannot Do. This the Season of Hope and of Wise
Planning.

CarIyIe's wonderful old character, TeuTel-
drOch, says:
"Man is, properly speaking. based upon Hope;
he has no other possession but Hope; this world
Of his is emphatcally the Place of Hope"
This world is a world of hope And this is
hopes bossoming season. Hope and courage
are practically the same. We should keep in
mind GOethe's lines, Courage gone, everything
gone, better thou vert never born"
If at the end of a week you find courage fail
ing and hope dim, go out into the country and
with you.
Watch some patient bird build for the third,
fourth and tenth time the nest that has been
cruelty destroyed.
Watch the spider work over and over at the
web-patient, never discouraged.
See the feeble blades Of grass struggling
against heat and drOuth, and the pressure Of
weeds and other enemies.
All Of Nature is hope, courageous struggle
perseverance.
Man is the weakest animal. the feeblest. the
least persistent.
For awhile he considers himself the ruler Of
the globe, full of pride and eonidence-he is. in
reality. in a transitional, changing stage, half
way between the animal of the past and the real
man who is to be on this earth In the future
Our brains have only just been acquired. Man
has been able to think in the ieeblest OF ways for

qualities that give results, perseverance, con-
sistency, justice.
Sometimes the building of a wall such as we
need is as tedious as was the building of the
great Chinese Wall.
The Chinese built that huge wall around their
kingdom to keep out the Tarters and other
hOrdes, just as they build the little walls in
front of their doors to keep out evil spirits.
Both walls were foolish and useless. For the
Tarters came in and ruled in China for CEN
turtles, just as the evil spirits dodge around the
little brick walls and go into the Chinese house
Your mental building may be as tiresome and
slow as the Chinese wall. But, at least, when the
wall is built in your mind it will do the work for
which IL was built.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-06-08

When you enter Chinese home you find even
in the poorest houses a screen just inside the
door That is not to keep people from looking
init is to keep the devils from walking In.
AWhen men are rich I'm China you find outside
Of their houses, before the door, immensely ex-
pensive walls of stone highly Ornamented.
These expensive walls are also intended to
keen out the evil spirits.
The simple-rinded Chinese believe that
devils can only walk in straight line. They
think that evil spirits cannot go around corners.
So the Chinese gentleman puts wall in front
of his door. He walks around the corner in
crooked line. gets inside his house, and believes
that he is keeping the devils outside
n this country we don't believe that our evil
spirits must go in a straight line. We know, on
the contrary, that the crooked line is their favor
We know also that the evil spirits to be feared,
the only kind that exist are inside of our own
brains. We can't keep them out with a stone
wall, or a steel door. Those evil spirits can go
tarough crack, and follow the most crooked
road
None the less we can, If we will, shut them out
IN time. although a mason with his bricks and
s,one cannot DO II for US.
The cartoonist copying iH this big picture the
little Chinese picture tries TO show how we can
do for ourselves, as intelligent humaa h9inrs.
that which the foolish Chinese try TO do in
supsrsGtiOus manner.

This season of Spring, of new life on the
earth, new possibilities, is the season of hope.
It is the good time for the man who has been
discouraged, whose years of failure, repeated
efforts ending in lack of success, have dis
cOuraged him. 1t is the time for him to realize
that hope is never lost while man lives, and that
as long as a man hopes and tries he CAN build
his wall he can keep out failure and keep down
the weaknesses inherited, that grow up in the
brain and destroy useful thought as weeds de-
stroy the useful growth IN a garden

speaker and pay heavy fine.

SAVES TIME AND TROUBLE
Case for Delicate centerpiece Not
Hard to Make, and Is Especial
Iy Valuable.

1t is sometimes a difficult matter
to keep centerpieces from becoming
crushed after laundering. SO many
women make a case in which to roll
them. Purchase piece of cretonne
one and quarter yards long and at
one end turn up hem wide enough
to cover a pole an inch in diameter
and in length trifle shorter than the
width of the cretonne. When choos-
ing the material select dainty de-
sign showing alternate stripes of fiow-
ers and a delicate color.
Bind the three sides with half-inch
washable ribbon, stitching 1t neatly
either by hand or on the machine.
Attach three pieces of ribbon to the
end. These are used to tie the case
when the centerpieces are rolled in
place.
This Is an especially useful article,
and should be added to the linen
chest, and there will never be any
need of pressing a centerpiece before
it is fit to place on the dining table.
1t requires only short time to make
an attractive case of this variety. and
you will never cease to sing its
praises when 1t has saved you much
Inconvenience.
Now that you have supplied a case
for the centerpieces, provide like ar
ticles for the doilies of your luncheon
set. From cardboard cut two circular
pieces an inch wider than the plate
doilies and two others an inch wider
than the diameter of the tumbler
doilies. Cover these with cotton wad-
ding and sprinkle with lavender
Using Cretonne to match the cen
terpiece case, cut circular pieces
enough to cover the top and bottom
of the disks. Allow a half inch for
turning in all around. and neatly whip
stitch the two together or baste rough
ly and bind with the half-inch ribbon.
At three places attach pieces of rib
bon with which to tie the cases shut
when the doilies are placed between
the two sections. A set of cases for
luncheon set would make a most
acceptable gift to a prospective bride
or to the systematic housewife who
likes a place for everything.

GOOD HINTS FOR
SWINE FEEDING
As Corn Contains Excess of Car
bohydrate Protein Must Be
Given in Other Feeds.

Hogs are not fitted by nature to
subsist entirely on waste products.
They do their best on a clean. we'll
balanced ration. There are, however.
some kinds Of waste products. such
as apple and potato peelings, table
scraps. etc. that can be utilized to
good advantage.
In the corn belt corn stands at tho
head of hog rations. being the cheap
est and best feed available, writes C.
r. Wallace in the Farm and HasAe.
Feeds rich in protein should he sed
with 1t. for corn contains an excess OF
carbohydrate Skim milk, grass and
especially the clovers. are excellent
sources of protein. The young grow
ing pig needs proportlonaily more
heterogeneous food than mature hogs.
When hogs reach the fattening stage
corn can be fed almost exclusively.
Clean waste scraps OF fruit and vege-
tables may be fed with the foregoing
feeds. but 1t should be borne in mind
that the digestive apparatus of no ami

PROPER coLoRs FOR WALLS
Always Few Rules That Are Well
to Keep in Mind When Dec
Grating.

If we redecorate in thorough way
our first puzzle is the choice of col
or. A few rules are useful. Blue,
green, brown, and gray are excellent
colors for sunny, well-lighted rooms.
II the room is on the north side of the
house or is ill-lighted We may need
to use yellow or yellow tan on the
walls in order to produce the sunny
appearance the room otherwise lacks.
Tan is good all-around color and is
usable in well-lighted or poorly light
ed rooms.
All these colors are best If soft.
For example, sage green wall is
much more pleasing than bright
green or leaf green wall; copen-
hagen blue is better than vivid
blue; the most agreeable gray for
walls is brownish gray in tone. Tan
In great variety of shades is always
favorite.
Bright red should never be chosen.
1t Is crude In color and tiresome to
live with. A soft mulberry red is
sometimes a desirable color, and a
brownish or Indian red is also in good
taste
As wallpaper always looks dark
er when hung on the wall than 1t does
in the sample. we must take care to
select medium or light shades, If we
want cheerful rooms.
