Lies Broad Principle

The broad principle of life seems
to me to be this: To have some
work in hand in which one is in
terested or because the product of
the work is worth while; and to
take that form of recreation which
is best fitted to re-create the body,
mind and spirit, when exhausted
by its toll, and so fit it for resump-
ton of serious work upon the NOR
row. No recreation is right which
does not re-create. But in the
choice of recreation everyone
should have regard for his social
surroundings and the effect of bis
life and example upon others.-Ex

Uncommon Fractions.

Little Marion was busy with her
home work. After a great many
perplexed frowns aud much nibbline
at her pencil she looked up, and
said:
The only answer that can get
to this example is five and three
fourths horses Do you 'spose that
is right Mama?"
We'll. l don't know" answered
her mother cautiously. 1T sounds
rather queer"
A long pause; then the small

smile.

duce the three-fourthS horses to

A MESSAGE
To Feeble Old People.

AS one grows old the waste of the
system becomes more rapid than re.
pair, the organs act more slowly and
less effectually than in youth, the cir
culation is poor, the blood thin and
digestion weak.
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil, is the ideal
strengthener and body-builder for old
folks, for it contains the. very ele-
ments needed to rebuild wasting It's
sues and replace weakness with
strength. Vinol also fortifles the sys-
tenn against colds and thus prevents
pneumonia.
A grandneice Of Alexander Hamil-
ton, over eighty years of age, once
remarked: "Vinol is a godserd to old
people. Thanks to Vinol, have a
hearty appetite, sleep soundly, feel
active and well. 1t is the finest tonic
and strength-creator have ever
used"
If Who'll fails to build up the
feeble old people. and create
strength, we will return your money.

the opposite course He was proud.
naughty, and sought to exalt himself
Lucifer was rich before he became Sa-
tan, the Adversary. Yet he was not so
rich as the Logos. through whom Di-
vine energy operated in the creation.
Mark well the course of pride, which
led to sin, and will ultimately lead to
Satan's destruction. Mark we'll the
course of Jesus, which led through hui
mility to the highest glory. Which ex-
ample shall we follow? What folly 1t
would be to permit pride to gain
place in our hearts.

Homely Hints.

A pinch of salt added to the flour
used for thickening gravy, before
mixing it with water, helps to keep
it from becoming lumpy.
Select a large carrot and scoop
out the center, string cord through
the two sides of top and tie to the
curtain in kitchen window. Put
water every day in the scooped-out
center, and soon pretty green shoots
will spread around the carrot, max
ing it invisible,
Soak a rusty knife in kerosene
and then stab it into earth several
times, the rust disappears.
Keep raisins in glass jars and
they will not become dry and hard
Potatoes put in hot water for
about is minutes before putting in
oven, will hasten the baking some
what.
There is no necessity of using
camphor balls if wooden clothing is
thoroughly cleaned and then wrap
ped in newspapers; pin ends secure
ly to exclude moths.
Cheese packed in salt will dry
without molding or growing strong.
To preserve lemons for a length
/. of time, bury them in a box OF
sawdust. In this way they will
keep fresh for several months

hanging. Giorgios, amazed and terri
fed, pulled at it.
Up through the blue water came the
body of the man he had slain, the
knife still sticking between his ribs.
AS it came to the surface the helmet
fell from the head and there was re.
vealed-a dummy of straw!
Giorgios looked round him in bewil.
derment. Then he saw the grin upon
the faces of Kratillis and his com.
ponion. The reaction overcame him.
He shouted and yelled for JOY and
then caught the boys in his arms.
"Ah, you little rascals, to play such
trick upon poor fisherman" he
said, and the tears gushed from his
eyes.
Eyes, it was my idea," replied Kra-
tillis proudly. There was man in
Athens had an enemy, and everybody
knew he would kill him. So what did
they do but put a tailor's dummy in
his sweetheart's closet. Yes, and he
stabbed him and was sorry, and then
came to his senses. Yes, and SO with
horses when they kick their stalls to
pieces-we give them clapboard stalls,
and they destroy them and are ap.
peased. Now you will not want to kill
Antonio again."
"By gar!" shouted Giorgios, come,
let us go to the town and invite him
to drink wine. This is a great day
for me. Kratillis, tomorrow, if we
are reconciled, we all 60 out together
again."
