poignant need of traveller a charm
ing little tea box of mahogany, con-
tanning a small silver tea caddy and a
little tea ball, reproduced in miniature

HIS PERIOD or ENJOYMENT
Farmer Surely Had Earned Rest, But
He Waited Just a Little
Bit Too Long.

Once there lived farmer who
worked SO hard he was too tired to go
to church on Sunday, says Frank Tel
ford In Farm and Fireside. His hired
men refused to stand for the first
and last call to breakfast at 3:45 in
the morning and left before the end
of the week His wife MIXED the
cows and hoed the garden because
heln ..sss SO hard to keep. The farm
er voted against hard roads, and when
he was elected to the school board
hired for teacher young girl just out
of high school, because she would
take the job for $50 month In
short. he squeezed the dollars so hard
the eagle screamed He would steal
acorns from blind pig.
When the farmer was fifty he had
half section of good black land in
the corn belt and money in the bank
He moved to town to enjoy a hard
earned rest. But his stomach was so
tired of corn bread and bacon that It
went on a strike and the farmer ate
milk toast. Heacould predict storm
before the, first cloud appeared by
the creaking of his joints, and he had
to call for help to turn over in bed
One day his doctor said he had made
enough money to buy new touring
car and the farmer died of heart dis
ease.

Didn't Hurt Them.

One day while in Trenton, a man
from small town happened to collide
with bunch of hygienics, and among
other things they referred to the water
supply of his home town. 1T isn't as
good as 1t might be" said the Jersey
man when questioned as to its quality.
There is something like 100000
microbes to drop, but it is the best
we can do at present" What do you
do to safeguard yourself against water
Of that kind?" queried one of the hy-
gienics, with look of concern. "You
surely take some precautionary meas
ures." "Oh. yes" smiled the Jersey
man. First We filter the water and
then we boil it, and then we drink ap-
plejack."

NEED MEAT IN THEIR DIET
Scotch Specialists Mako Assertion
That It Should Be Supplied TO
Young Children.

There is a prevalent misconception
that meat is not good for young chill
dren. Drs. A. Dingwell Fordyce and
. E w. Scott Carmichael, two famous
Scotch specialists in the diseases OIL
children, In an article on "Glandular
tuberculosis in Children" published
In the Lancet, combat this oldfash-
ioned idea.- They write:
Constantly we see otherwise
healthy children suffering from indi-
gestion due to overfeeding with bread.
porridge. potatoes. biscuits, cakes,
sweets. Comparatively rarely do we
see Indigestion due to excessive meat
eating. Most certainly large amount
OF meat in the diet of healthy young
child is likely to cause digestive trou-
BILE. But the point is that an adequate
supply of flesh meat and fish in the
daily diet is not only beneficial, but
is. as a rule. necessary to health.
During the first half of the sec
ond year the child should get this ami
NAL food In the form of egg, bacon or
fish. Thereafter he should be given
daily at dinner a little chicken, rab-
bit or butchers meat. We consider
that deficiency of animal food-in the
shape of meat, fish and eggs--in the
diet, along with the common cc-exist-
ent carbohydrate dyspepsia, is wide
spread and important underlying fac
tor in the development of various In
fections, and is more particularly one
OF the primary causes Of cervical
glandular tuberculosis"

The Egyptians recognized cancer
as growth within the tissues of the
body, and CELSIUS elaborated upon this
when he discovered that some growths
were malignant and some benign.
Then In 1S0 B. G. Leonides declared
that the only hope of cure lay in Grad
icating the growth entirely from the
body
Today the fact remains that cancer
Is growth within the cell tissue of
the human body, but the cause of 1t is
little better understood.

Coins of Small Value.

Doubtless the smallest coin in the
world circulates in the Malay PENN
suIa. simply thin wafer made from
the resinous juice Of tree, and has
current value of about 1-10,000th of a
cent. In the southern parts Of Rus
sia the peasants use a coin Of such
small value that a quarter Of mil
lion of them are worth no more than
S125. The old Japanese mouseng was
worth 1-112th Of an American cent
In Portugal the reis is the lowest
standard of value, but no l-reis
pieces are coined A 3-reis piece is
equivalent to 6-100ths of cent.

WILL KEEP TAB
ON PARCEL POST

Up around the postorfice every day
for the next fifteen days will be
their extremely busy day following the
receipt of one OF those impromptu, hot
off the bat orders for which the postal
department is famous. The new order
concerns the parcels post, upon which
department the brass collars at
Washington desire complete statistics
Until April is and including that
date, the department desires a full re-
port Of the daily doings in the parcels
post business. The sundry things they
want to know are as follows: An
exact account of the number of par
cells mailed, the number Of parcels,
itemized separately as to their weight
from one ounce TO one pound, and
from one pound to fifty pounds. That
is they want the total number of
packages weight one ounce, the total
number weighing two ounces and so
on, lllLO lnt pOuliuS UP w tiic limit
Also, they want to know the total
number Of packages mailed to each
zone and the value of stamps ON each
package Also, the number Of pack
ages delivered by each of the city car
riers, the rural carriers, the regular
parcels post carriers and the number
Of packages from the boxes and gen
eral delivery window.
Besides they desire the estimated
cost of clerk hire and vehicle hire for
the handling and transportation of the
packages. In short, the clerks are re-
CURED for the next fifteen days to
keep exact count on all packages re-
ceived and transmitted and are requir-
ed to classify each according to its
weight The daily reports are sent in
on report blanks about the size of the
state Of New Jersey and when com
plete the report looks like fielding and
batting averages of all the players in
the big leagues.

ExcELLENTLEssoNIN IN THRIFT
How Compound interest WIN WORK
Wonders With Small Annual
Bank Deposits.

An Illinois savings bank has adver'
tised that 1t will place one dollar TO
the credit of every baby born In that
city. and it advises the parents OF
the children TO deposit on each birth
day of the child as many dollars as
the youngster is years old. then to let
the money remain in the bank, draw
ing interest, until the child reaches
twenty-one.
1t is a clever advertisement and ex'
cellent advice. II parents did that
the total sum deposited to the credit
of the child upon its twenty-first birth
day. including $21 for that birthday.
would be 1921, or an average OF sll a
year. But the bank account on that
twenty-hrst birthday would show
much larger sum, s2S4.59, in fact,
computed at the savings bank rate
of interest, three per cent.
That is. the sum Of $5S.59 will have
been paid In interest, compounded.
The amount which would accrue at
simple interest would be $500, or
more than twice the amount depos-
tied on the twenty-first year, while
the actual interest received would be
two and half times the last de-
posit.
Besides. the interest on interest
that is, the excess produced by com
pounding-would amount to $739, or
more than one-third of the final and
largest deposit, and would be about
SO per cent. of the average yearly de-
posit of $11. Thus is well shown how
money breeds from itself, and there
ID little doubt that parents able to
make such deposits would afford to
their children a remarkable illustra
ton of the value of thrift and its in
fuence in life. besides giving each
youngster substantial sum with little
hardship to the depositor.
