REWARD FOR HER TROUBLE
Sometimes Aunt myra Breads Get ting Ready for Church, but Efforts
 Are We'll Worth While.

Aunt Myra" took her hands from the dish water. wiped them on her apron and gave her visitor a chair. Her husband had gone to a neighbor's and while they waited for him to come back she talked about her home, the school and the church that she at- tended. two miles away.
 It's hard to get there sometimes, she said. but I manage to go almost and I think I can't, but generally a little clearing spell comes just before church time and we get in between showers. And sometimes it gets hot. One Sunday I thought l couldn't go. It was sultry and the mornings work was hard, and by church time l was tired out. But I went to the sink and I pumped the big basin full of cold water. and I washed my face, and I rolled up my sleeves and washed my arms, and I splashed the cold water over my wrists. and I felt lot better. And when I looked in the glass my face wasn't so red as you might ex- pect So l thought I'd go, after all
 Well. when my husband saw me getting ready, he washed, too, and put on his clean clothes, and I said: T de- clare, you look real nice' and he said. Well, come to think of 1t, you look real nice, too Of course he's partial, but 1t does a body good to hear it said, anyway.
 4.,t, knew just what I needed, and I thought the sermon that Sunday was meant for me. It was practical and gave you lots of comfort, too. You know the kind of sermon I mean, don't you?
 When church was out. and I was standing in the vestibule, waiting for my husband to bring the buggy round, the minister came out, and what do you think he said to me?
 "He said, Mrs. Radford. I want to tell you how much you encourage me. Preaching Tn the summer Is hard work So many people go away; so many find it easy to stay at home; church work reaches low ebb But every Sunday, rain or shine, I know you and your husband will be here. 1 know how hard you work; and when I see you sitting there, reverent and prayerful and attentive. you are a real help and inspiration, and I want to tell you so'
 Well. sir, didn't know what to say. I stood there looking foolish, I guess. But wasn't it good of him to say that? I knew all the time my going to church was doing me good but who'd have thought that I was en. couraging the minister ?"-Youth Companion.

 "I dc. John," answered the maiden. "is it because have no fortune?"

 ''Is 1t my looks?"
 "Y-e-e-s. have just been reading that people who marry grow to look like each other and although l love you. John, l=I-I really don't think l could stand to look like you"
 You silly girl" he exclaimed. May be il will be l who will grow to look like you"
 "Oh, John" she said joyously. "I never thought of that. I'm sure 1t would be great for us to look like each other, wouldn't 1t: won't you please forgive me?"

GRAVITY FOR FUEL FEEDER
Coal Slides Down Pipe Into Back of Stove or Body of Furnace-Ssves
 Much Hard Labor.

The labor Of coaling the furnace or stove has been simplified by the inyen- tion of North Dakota man. This in- veniion is known as the gravity fuel feeder and the coal merely flows into the stove as a valve is opened. To do this. of course. the coal bin or hopper that holds the fuel must be located above the furnace or stove. A pipe then leads dowp from this source Of supply into the back of the stove and the weight of the fuel above

Eqq Type in Hens.

Many poultrymen claim there is an egg type in fowls and that they can pick out the good layers as we'll as the poor ones in flock. This claim is based on the theory that certain pe- culiarities of form or shape. such as long body. wedge shape, broad rear, small head, etc, indicate good laying qualities Experiments have shown that hens with long as well as short bodies were indifferent layers, and conversely good layers have been found with short bodies, as well as long ones So far as tests have gone, theory does not hold good.

Zonea of Silence.

Zones of silence such as that dis to scientists for long time. Some years ago a committee conducted a series of experiments in the English channel with the loudest and most ear piercing sirens, whistles and boot CTS they could procure. It was found that sometimes on the clearest and quietest day sound was unaccounta- bly inaudible at short distance. This demonstrated conclusively the exis- tence of soundless zones and incident ally suggested an explanation of cer- tain ocean disasters.

MOVING MACHINE IS UNIQUE
Acapt Themselves to Uneven ness in the Ground.

The Scientific American in describ ing a moving machine invented by A. J. Anderson of 22 Greenwich street, New York. says:
 This machine is selfpropelled and is provided with new and useful means for controlling the cutter bar frame. The principal object is to pro vide a machine having a plurality of bars thereon, the frame carrying the bars being more or less loosely con structed whereby these bars may adapt themselves to unevenness in the ground when the machine is in use.

The ministry of foreign affairs has also adopted the chia ho as special emblem on Its official costume, Chia ho means ex- cellent crop, the excellence of which lies in the fact that every sheath of grain Is exactly of the same height thus denoting equality. owing to It's implied meaning of equality, the re- public has adopted ehia ho AS the na' tional fower-Peking Daily News.

son why the banks should be re-

government money, as they do
now for private deposits and for

Religion and Medicine

sary as medicine. that the want OF reli-
gion frequently defeats the action Of
the best medicine.
Many a chronic invalid has searched
In vain for a physical remedy simply
because he has lost his grip on vital
religion, the religion that not only pro-
vides salvation in the world to come,
but soundness of body and mind in the
world that Is.
Yes, there Is a most intimate rela-
ton between medicine and religion.
Other things being equal, the irrelig-
ious man stands a poor chance of get
ting well when he Is sick, while the re-
ligious man frequently gets well in the
most astonishing way after the doctors
have all given him up to die. With
firm faith In a rational religion and
an obedient use of the right remedy a
great many hopeless invalids could be
restored to perfect health.
Well, you have made II clear as to
what you mean by religion. But what
is the remedy you would recommend?
OF course would recommend differ
ent remedies for different conditions.
But the particular remedy that l am
interested in at this time, the remedy
that meets more chronic ailments than
any other remedy / know OF. Is Peru
ma. Peruna is a remedy for that multi
tudinous group OF ailments that are
dependent upon catarrhal derange-
ments.
