Nobody can get servants to work for 'em any more. You know why, don't you? They ain't any more ser wants. They all died off.

What d'you expect to happen when you make everybody a dude2 Long time ago they used to have real ser- wants. They couldn't spell eat, an they called tn man they worked for master an they called tn lady 'missus' They was so many of 'em you could get one by openin' tn door an whist lin. An when they took a job they was treated right. They didn't know nothin' but to be lickspittles an tn mas ster' an tn 'missus' was as proud they treated 'em right. he missus was brought up right by her own mother an knew how to bake an sew an wash an iron. an tn cook knew the nissus knowed more'n she did When tn coachman went out drivin' he swelled up like an was glad he was alive.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Love.

Life is a burden that is only toler- able when there is love.
 Man has so many wants, ambitions, 1ongings and dreams. that. unless he has love to steady and comfort him, the very business of living is like to rack him to pieces.
 The only way to successful old age is to see that the heart does not die.
 The heart does not age," said Vol taire, but it Is sad for it to have to lodge in ruin"
 Of that. however. we are not so sure.
 For if the heart be still young with the currents of love it will make even the decrepit body beautiful Indeed, nothing. is more lovely than warm soul alive in an old body.
 One of the most charming pictures of history is that of the venerable St. John the evangelist, who. when he was too feeble to do anything else would sit in his chair and pronounce the benediction at the meetings of the early church. saying only: Little children, love one another.'

Euaenics.

After all. We have but one great problem before us: How shall we best transmit to children the fruits of our effort?
 Education: How shall we put them in possession of the knowledge we have gained, how classify that knowl- edge for their use. how train them to employ it
 Apprenticeship: How shall we give them the advantage of our experience? :?
 Government: How preserve for them the results of our economic experi- ments?
 The church: How hand on to them the gains of our spiritual life?
 Law: How maintain for them what we have learned by experience con- cerning justice between man and man?
 Literature and art: How pass on to them the vision and inspiration we have had?
 Business: How give them the pro- ducts of our work?
 Hygiene: How divert from them our diseases and how endow them with our health?
 There is but one universal human science: Eugenics.

SUMMER RESORT DANGERS

Whether it is in the country or at the seashore. both of which places are
 irresistible in hot weather. if other things do not prevent. there are al- ways dangers against which every possible effort should be exerted. Too much precaution cannot be taken to see that the same good Judgment is used and that equally as good condi- uors prevail there as contribute to health and freedom from dangers at home
 The Chicago Tribune observes that The country on a hot summer day looms as a paradise And a paradise it is But the Garden of Eden was not without serpent, and the summer resort of today is not without sep peutins teeth They appear in the Euise Of an army of disease germs. Many a man who has left for a two weelS vacation to regain his spirit and freshness has in the past returned % the city a walking hothouse of ty- phoid or other disease germs.
 The announcement by the health department. therefore. that the coun- try can be made safe to vacationists through the simple means of being vaccinated against typhoid fever, and the offer to vaccinate 1000 persons free should be hailed with joy and gratitude by the great army of men and women who want to enjoy the pleasures of the country without ex- posing themselves to any of its risks"
 Vaccination should not be relied upon alone for keeping down disease and disease germs. Ii has its great value to those who care to submit, but it should not be allowed to cloud the importance of sanitation. vacci- nation protects those who are vac- ctrateG but sanitation properly carried cus wifi give protection to ali. It ts something which any summer re- sort cannot be too particular in en- forcing.

"Oh, certainly You got a great deal of comfort out of being on the safe side when you used to ar range all the grape seeds so care fully along the edge of your plate. If you swallowed one by mistake you worried for weeks in fear of an att tack of appendicitis I don't notice you troubling much about grape seeds in late years. And why?

 This volume provides reading les- sons which can advantageously be used to supplement any first year Latin book. It has been prepared in the belief that the beginner in Latin, after having spent long hours on the rather dry and uninteresting rules of grammar, needs something that will also serve to test his knowledge of the language. Among the sixty or more selections given in this book. are some of the old fables simplified for the beginner; short stories from many sources, and tales of early Rome.

 rms study Is an attempt to get at the facts by making a study of the trained negro laborer. his education, opportunity, wages and work. It is a going over of the same ground that was attempted ten years ago and is a carrying out, of social study of the negro American by means of an an nual series of decennial recurring sub- jects covering, so far as practicable every phrase of human life. The ob- ject is primarily scientific, a careful resarch for truth that it may be made clear and presented in such shape as will encourage and help reform. The work has been thorough and will be of great help in solving the negro problem.
