EraID LIKED NEW THOUGHT
 LETTERS

Dear Editor and Social Corner Mem bers:-I notice with pleasure that lately topics of the day have been claiming a share of the sisters atten- tion. The letters which have been printed on New Thought have been pleasant departure. to me, from the beaten paths, aud it is needless to say found them very interesting.
 It was my good fortune to attend a lecture on New Thought by an emi T. ent preacher one Sunday afternoon In Boston. It was a forceful address and every word carried conviction with 1t. Later, I became acquainted with some people who attend these lectures regu- Iarly. and I can truly say that their daily lives were more eloquent expon- ents of New Thought than words Surely it must be a. power for good.
 Potlatch: I received your post car1 and was much interested in the view of Mt Ranier and surrounding coun- try. Thank you for your card as well as address We may have, mutual friends in Seattle. but will write you about that at some future time.

CnEAH Arf1s TALK ofd Hus,
 BANDS

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:-- suppose most of you believe the way to keep a thrifty husband in good hssrnor is to provide well for his stom- ach. As a practical fact, this is un- sleniable. The dinner has trenen- dous influence for veal or woe upon the man of the house. It is easier for him to pray and more difficult for him to swear if he has no abominable mixtures or half-cooked. indigestible food in his stomach
 It takes intelligence and work and care to feed the family, keep it healthy and sweet and to put aside something for a rainy day. The mother of a family is in no danger of ever having a soft snap. No man of keen percep ton ever desires to be in her shoes or withholds the sustaining sympa- t1sy to which she is entitled.
 But it takes something more than good food to keep a man right-his eyes must be right and his mind right or his wife will be in the kitchen

GREETINGS FORM BALsAM FIR.

7 Dear Editor and Social Corner Friends:-I promised you a. letter some time ago, but I have been busy.
 I have been visiting up in the noun tains hut when I have been away to stay over Wednesday I have had my Courier sent to me. The first rain in many weeks fell the past few days and yesterday over an inch fell. Farmers have had a hard time carrying water for their cattle, some going a half mile
 I shall be glad when the picklins and preserving season is over; and house cleaning too, for perhaps we will then have a full page of Corner writers.
 want to thank my Sisters and Brothers for their cards, and I have not forgotten am owing them yet. I know you will laugh when you read how generous was to my tydrangera.
 I want to thank Joseph Doe for his kind advice. I thought would use the suiphe napthol and so I did and guess did a good job: anyway there has not been any signs of life since,

MANY USES FOR SALT.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Do you realize how useful common barrel salt is? Of all the condiments known to modern cookery, salt is the most nec- essary and is universally used: but indispensable as 1t is in the kitchen, 1t is equally useful in the sick room laundry, and for general household purposes. Tn fact, from garret to eel lar. so to speak, salt is an ever ready and resourcefuI adjunct to good house. keeping.

This can more readily be observed. perhaps by arranging the figures, ? 8 z in circle, when any one of the numbers can be read by going around the circle. Third. add the columns, six in all, of the set of numbers. You will get 2T for each column. Pretty curious, isn't it?

THE MAelc OF THE FIGURE 7.

Dear Cernerites: am sending in little article that may prove of in terest to a great many of the circle The number "7'' and it's frequent re- currence in the Scriptures is a matter of some interest.
 No one, who reads. the Scriptures with attention can help being struck with the recurrence of the number 7 It is everywhere in the Book of ~ReveI- atfon. But it was prominent far earlier than this. Seven was the number of days in the week. Job had sons The. most solemn day of the Jewish year came in the 7th month. There are parables in the cluster of Mat thew XII. Elsewhere than among the Jews, the number ' became pror1f- = inent, s-..--
 The constellation of the Great Bear was known by the Latin name of the seven stars. The Pleiades were sup posed to have originally consisted of and were called the sisters. There were seven wise men of Greece, Seven Wonders of the World, and the Seven Sleepers.- And so it went, this number seeming to attract especial attention. And in some ways the number 2 does appear to have some pecuiiarities. When it is divided into one. in, the at- tempt to express one-seventh in the form of decimal. we get the follow ing constantly recurring set of fig- -ures:
