Is Il Often Thus2

An enterprising farmer at Vesper,
Wis, recovered in a strange manner a
pair of lost spectacles. but he is at a
loss whether to feel himself lucky and
proclaim the merits of his clover seed,
or to rail at what he thinks dishon-
esty on the part of some seed dealers
He decided that his clover crop would
be improved if he made IL change in
seed. So he sacked his seed and dis
posed Of it to a dealer for a small
price. Soon the farmer missed his
glasses. Later he sent to a seed house
and paid big price for a much ad-
vertised variety. A few days later
his order was received, and in one Of
the sacks he found the missing glasses.

SICK DOCTOR
Proper Food Put Him Right.

The food experience of a physician
in his own case when worn and weak
from sickness and when needing nour-
ishment the worst way, is valuable:
AN attack of grip, so severe it came
near making an end of me, left my
stomach in such condition / could not
retain any ordinary food. / knew OF
course that must have food nourish-
nient or l could never recover.
Il began to take four teaspoonfuls
of Grape-Nuts and cream three times
a day and for weeks this was almost
my only food. 1t tasted so delicious
that / enjoyed 1t immensely and my
stomach handled 1t perfectly from the
FIRST mouthful. II was so nourishing
was quickly built back to normal
health and strength.
"Grape-Nuts is Of great value as food
TO sustain life during serious attacks
in which the stomach is so deranged
Il cannot digest and assimilate other
foods.
Il am convinced that were Grape
Nuts more widely used by physicians,
II would save many lives that are 9th
erwise lost from lack of nourishment."

Failing Chlmneys.

Tall chimneys are usually destroyed
by removing part Of the masonry just
above the base, and replacing it with
timbers and wooden wedges. These
are soaked with intlammable oils and
set on fire. Before they are wholly
burned, the chimney becomes weak
and falls. When a wellbuit chimney
falls from this cause, the motion be-
gins at the bottom and the top drags
back. like the tip Of whip when It is
swung quickly. This effect of inertia
results in the chimney's breaking long
before II reaches the ground.

What is most astonishing, according
TO my way OF looking at it, is that
men should bring each other into
such State-that men who have seen
such a sight should not sink down
on their knees and swear a passionate
oath to make war on war--that if they
were princes they do not fling the

position of power they do not from
that moment devote their whole action
in speech or writing, in thought, teach
ing or business, to this one end-Lay

from slaughter house and the meat is
the best of it's kind. Needless to say
we cannot have meat every day, but,
thanks to such articles of food as

1t every day. Our aim is to serve these
simple articles of food in such quanti-

Have Capable Cook.

We We're fortunate in securing the
services of a most capable woman to do
the cooking. II is no easy matter to pre-
pare and season food for so large a
company, and. of course, the success of

sence displayed in the kitchen.

Cook Gets Wages.

The services of the cook are paid for.
IS a week, out of the weekly assess
ment of IS cents each, on which the
club has thus far been conducted.
The central library is open each week
ing hours are seven. The members of
the staff assigned to public depart
ments work in two shifts, part from
am. to 4:3o pm, and part from 1870
to pm, alternating SO that no one
has to work more than two or at most
three nights Il week. The luncheon
period is a half hour only.
The need for a hot meal is most
pressing for those who work at night
and consequently are away from their
homes at the dinner hour; but prac
tlca1ly all members of staff thrive bet
ter on hot luncheon than on an
invariable cold luncheon.
The staff of the central library, in
Guiding bindery employees and members
OF the apprentice class tunpaid), num-
bers about ninety.
The new plan is very advantageous
from the point of view of health.
Formerly the members of the staff
either had to go out to restaurants and
pay for their luncheons more than they
brought from home. or If they tried
TO cook luncheons for themselves on
the one gas stove (and got in one an
others way in doing so), nearly the
entire half-hour luncheon period was
consumed n the cooking process, leav
ing no time in which to eat. Now the
simple but wholesome and SuSta ming
luncheon is all ready for serving, and
can be eaten in ten or fifteen minutes,
thus leaving the rest of the period for
q short walk, which many members of
the staff now take.

.C[UBW0MEN APPROVE
BELGIAN MERCY SHIP
Mrs. Ellis Logan Suggests Collection
at Each Meeting to Help Outfit
Relief Vessel,

The mercy ship from the clubwo omen
OF this country to the Queen of Bel
GUM was given much encoura cement
and financial support at the meeting
OF the Twentieth Gentry Club, held
yesterday in the All Souls Unitarian
Church. More than 5000 in checks and
by plate collection was contributed
there.
Mrs. Henry Baker, 1901 Biltmore
street, chairman of the Twentieth Cen
fury Club relief committee, reported
that already two large cases OF cloth
ing have been shipped to Belgium. and
that another will be packed today. Mrs.
Baker has consented to take charge of
the collection of clothing that may be
en- of the District.
Mrs. Ellis Logan, president of the
District federation, has sent an appeal
to all the clubs that at eacn meeting
collection for the mercy snip snail be
taken up. This money is to be sent at
once by check to f.. Havenith, the Bel
gian minister, with a notation that 1t
is for the club women fund, and this
will be set aside until the club women
have sufficient to tit out the snip.
Mrs. Logan says tnat clothing is
greatly needed and she had advised the
cluD women 10 COiiti Apuee l'tsA eASoieAAiJ
wooden stockings, underwear and
warm dresses. She says that blankets
that can be cut into scarfs or shoulder
shawls are needed as much as any
thing else. She urged the women to
be practical in their selections and not
to send any French-heeled snoes, out
strong, serviceab BILE ones.
Speaks at Four Meetings.
Mrs. Logan today is speaking at four
meetings in behalf of the mercy ship.
She addressed the first meeting for the
season of the Nordhoff Guild, appealed
to the Philo Classics, solicited the sup
port of the W. c. T. L. at social tea
under the auspices of that organization
on Columbia road. and sought the as
sistance of the Children of the Amerl-
can Revolution at meeting in the
home of Mrs. S. X. Cunningham. on
Euclid street. The president of this
chapter is Mrs Clayton +. Emig.
Tonight Mrs. Logan is to consult with
the executive committee of the John
Lindsay Chapter of the D. A. r. on
proposition to be made at their meeting
Tuesday. that the chapter dispense
with their yearbook and contribute
the money to the mercy ship.
Reports have been received from
number of the federated clubs that
they are organizing committees to col
lect clothing and money for the mercy
ship.
