We had loads Of people in to tea in the evenings and we played cards during the day and alto- gether it was a perfect joy to have such a sweet visitor and 1t gave her a vaca- ton, too, you see.

Well, if were to tell you all the nice things we did you just wouldn't believe it. could hardly believe it at first myself. but the week end visit of those three people just made mother over again and as for me. well, took a new lease on life and woil- dered how could have had such glori- ous time right here at home and every body else travelling and at some summer resort.'
 ''Particularly," I suggested, because you were giving pleasure to others"
 'T don't wnow abou tthat,' said my pretty hostess. s1 was the one who got most of the pleasure. Exteriorly, my vs- cation sounds simple enough, but I'd rather have converted the little house into summer resort and had all those nice people with us than to have gone to any place in the world I think, after all, vacation is worth double as much when 1t has friend in it, don't you?"

The number of inquiries concerning this much neglected branch of household industry received by us Of late indicates that American housemothers are awakening to the importance of cheese making, and the fact that 1t may be made upon farm and ranch more cheaply than 1t can be bought from the country store.

Loves Open Vision,

A loving soul is superior to ciroum-
stances and gets gain from adversities
and disappointments. We are fami-
liar with Paul's saying that all things
work together for good to them that
love God" but perhaps we do not
realize as We should that this result
is not an arbitrary reward, but is con-
ditioned upon the characters of our
hearts. The love of God cannot make
all events blessed for us till it dwells
within us. God loves everybody; but
the blessedness of being served by ali
events can be apprehended only by
those who love him. Love finds the
combination that unlocks every trea-
sury Of good. To be spiritually mind
ed is both life and peace. We need
not be the slaves of circumstances.
but make them what we will. Their
results depend on what We are. In
every world the loving heart will find
heaven.

BEER HABIT SH0RTENS LIFE
NO Man Who Drinks Much Of the

DR.. 8. s. Lungren, one Of the lead
ing homeopathic physicians and sur.
geons in the country, who has been
prscticing in Toledo for a quarter Of
century, says: Beer drinking
shortens life. Physicians decide that
the hearts action is increased 10 per
cent. in its efforts to throw off alco-
holio stimuiants introduced into the
circulation. The result is easily fig
ured out. The natural pulse is, say.
rs per minute. Multiply this by six
ty, number Of minutes In an hour, and
by "a for the hours of the day. ana
add IL per cent. to the sum total, we
will find that the heart has been com
PEELED to do extra work during that
time in throwing off the burden OF
few drinks CAS- ounces of alcohol
equal to lifting 1871 tons lifted one
foot high. The alcohol In the beer
causes a dilation of the superficial
blood vessels, as 1t does in all Of
them. This gives the rudy look,
which is really an unhealthy conges-
ton there and everywhere-heart,
brain. stomach. lungs, liver, kidneys
1t breaks down, weskens, enfeebles,
Invites attacks Of disease, and makes
recovery from any attack or injury
preoarious and difficult. Everywhere
1t is degeneration, No man who
drinks much beer is the physical and

General Sir Henry Tells Of Generous
Deeds Of Soldiers Who Were
Without Alcoholic Drink.

Afghanistan," by General Sir Henry
Haveloek, that gallant and glorious
soldier Of whom one Of his eonten-,
poraries said that he WIS every inch
a soldier and every inch Christian
provides very comforting and en-
eouraging reading to those who have
read the excuses Of British and 9TH
er troops OF war in the old drinking
days before the Army Temperance as
ISOLATION was existent or even thousht
Of.
Commenting on the forbeaYanee OF
the troops at the taking Of Ghuznee,
in 1899, Sir Henry wrote:
Though Ghuznee was carried by
storm after q resistance stout enough
to have reused the angry passions of
the assailsnts, the Afghans were
everywhere spared when they ceased,
to fight, Let me not be accused Of
foisting In unfairly a favorite topic.
or attempting to detraet from the
merit Of the troops, when 1 remark
how great a degree the self-denisl,
mercy and generosity of the hour may
be attributed to the fact that the
European soldiers had received no
spirits since July s, and had
found no liquor among the plumber of,
Ghuznee. No candid man Of any mil
itary experience will deny that the
character OF the scene in the fortress
and citadel would have been far diff
ferent If the soldiers had entered the
town primed with arrack, or II spirit
uous liquors had been discovered in
the Afghan depots. Since, then, it has
been proved that the troops can make
forced marches of 40 miles, and
storm q fortress in rs minutes with
out the aid of rum, behaving after
success with a furbearance and hu-
manity unparalleled in history, let il
not henceforth be argued that distilled
spirits are an indispensable portion OF
q soldiers ration"
This sane deduction OF an exper.,
fenced leader of troops in the field is
quite in keeping with the findings of
the present day, which amply witness
the truth that troops fight better,
march better, endure better, and are
healthier, happier, and stronger with
out alcoholic beverages.
