What a Man Eats.

If you wish for anything like
happiness in the fifth act of
life, Sy ney Smyth advised
Lord Murray, "eat and drink a.
bout one-half OF what you could
eat and drink. Did | ever tell
you my calculations about eating
and drinking? Having ascer-
tanned the weight of what |
could live upon so as to preserve
health and strength, and what
| did live upon, found that, be-
tween 10 and 70 years of age |
had eaten and drunk "A horse
wagon loads of meat and drink
more than would have preserved
me in life and health! The value
of this mass of nourishment |
considered to be worth 81.
(35, 000). 1t occurred to me
that I must, by my voracity,
have starved to death fully 100
persons. This is a frightful cal
culation, but irresistibly true"

DOES SHELTER PAY?

Reckoning the Cost of Keeping Farm
Machinery Under Cover.
A correspondent of the Kansas
Farmer says that paper places undue
Importance upon the necessity Of
sheltering farm implements and that
the cost of lumber and interest on the
investment in machinery shed is
greater than the depreciation on imple-
mentS as a result of exposure. The pa
per replies:
THE average leo acre farm is re-
garded as having $1,000 invested in
farm machinery, including wagons and
buggies. 1t is our judgment that the
average Kansas farm has nearer S1,5OO
invested. We are confident that the
depreciation on farm equipment when
exposed to the storms is not less than
10 per cent per year. We are inclined
to the belief that it is 90 per cent per
year. We know that 20 per cent de-
probation will apply to at least a part
of the equipment.
The more equipment exposed to the
weather the larger the depreciation in
uDtidIS anu CSulS. OuS OlOl-
lars will erect a first class machin-
cry shed. If 500 is not available
$50 will erect Il shed sufficiently large
to house in a very satisfactory manner
$1,000 to $500 worth of machinery
The $50 shed will be smaller than the
800 shed. and its use will require
sorle piling up. of machinery.
This, however. can be done with no
cash outlay and with little outlay of
time and labor. If the depreciation on
the shed itself is per cent per year
and the interest on the investment is
3 or 6 per cent per year there is still
q considerable amount in favor of saw
ing the 10 per cent or minimum de-
probation or the machinery.
'Tt does not seem possible that a
wide awake farmer would argue
against the advantages of good ma
chinery care. even though it be impos-
sible for him to provide a machine

STRIKE DANGER PASSES.
Part of Tube Cutters Who left Simmons
Plant Return to Work Today.

The danger of a strike at the plant
of the Simmons Manufacturing COM
pany seems to have passed and this
morning a number of the men who left
the tube cutting department on Mon
day applied for work and they are back
in their old positions. Five of the
twenty-five men who went out have
been put back to work and in this num-
Der are three of the so-called leaders
of the strike. No effort was made on
Tuesday afternoon or evening to have
men in other departments join the ranks
of the strikers and there was no trouble
of any kind at the plant today. 1t is
declared that all OF the men who went
out are seeking their OLD places again
and it is probable that employment
will be found for them as rapidly as
they apply for work. If the men have
any grievances they will be taken up
by the officials of the company later.

rehearse a little together with them
down here.
Fourth, we must rub war off the
map. 1t is today purely matter of
senseless competition between nations.
1t is ehild's play. And for it men are
taken from the shops and put in idle
ness. Wherever you find socialist,
and whatever kind of man he is, he
is for peace. He has learned the truth.
We can do all four of these things.
The two great institutions to make
them possible are the home and the
church. And the church could not ex-
ist without the home. We must guard
against anything which would destroy
the home. DR.. Sheldon gave a very.
interesting account of his boyhood
home, log cabin, and the lessons he
learned there. He had training in medi-
tation. The great thing learned in boy
hood was God; God and Humanity. He
told of Chinese Christian martyrs. If
we had their heroism we could revolu-
tionize the earth. What does it mean
to be Christian, if not to follow
Christ as far as he goes? The finest
thing women do is to rear children to
love God and man. The finest thing
men do is to live clean, pure, industrious
lives. Dr. Sheldon hoped that some day
we would stop putting buildings on our
picture post cards to represent our cit
les, and put instead our great men and
women; those who had lived lives that
were credit to their town.
DR.. Sheldon s address was listened to
with interest to the end. He does not
believe in oratory, and speaks always
in conversational tone; but his
thoughts come home to men s minds be-
cause they are true and vital, and a
wealth of illustration makes them stick.
He has in his lecture that which has
made his books famous thorough
and fundamental Christian point of
view.

TO INTEREST ORGANIZATIONS
Aldermen are Urged to Provide for a
Christmas Tree in One of the Public
Parks and a Display of Christmas
Spirit in All Institutions.

A municipal observance of Christmas
In Kenosha is the latest suggestion to
be made to the common council and the
mayor and the man who is urging such
celebration is G. T. Wettstein, who re-
sides on English Court and who has
had part in similar celebrations in New
York and Milwaukee. The plan is in
no way suggestion of a secular cele
bration of the great holiday of Christi
anity, but on the other hand devout
and suitable observance of the birth
of the Christ on the part of the munich
pality. In long letter sent to the
mayor and other officials Mr. Wettstein
outlines plans for such celebration
He suggests the setting up of hand
some Illuminated Christmas tree in one
of the parks of the city and with this
the arranging of a program of Christ
mas music and Christmas visits. He
holds chat such celebration would be
of especial interest to hundreds of peo-
pie in Kenosha who will be far from
home on Christmas day and whose life
will be made more pleasant by the dis
play on the part of the city of some
thing Of the Christmas spirit that these
people would have ai.out THEN own
hearthstone at HON
He suggests it ass lesson to the peo-
pie of the city who have not learned
the story of the Christmas season.
Milwaukee had public Observance
of the Christmas tide last year In
that city the work was taken up by one
of the English Lutheran churches and
especially trained singers went from
one end of the city to the other singing
Christmas carols and telling Christmas
stories. This band of workers visited
hospitals and prisons and went to the
homes Of the poor and the neglected.
The idea mas appealed wonderfully
to Mayor Head and other officials of
the city and they are taking the mat
ter up with some Of the charitable or
carnations Of the city, with a view
of enIsting the aid Of these people
Kenosha has always been thoughtful of
the poor and the neglected at Christ
mas time and for this reason it is
thought that union of these organiza-
tions along the line of municipal OBJ
servance of the great holiday may
prove attractive
