STRENGTH OF SILENCE

Some natures are always silent. Even when they speak they make an effect Of silence. They do things quietly, efficiently. They are never in hurry, even when they move rapidly. We all know such natures They radiate strength and wholesomeness They seem always to be open to the nVlg- oratins air and sunshine. They are like the earth, gratefully drinking from the life giving fountains They are fertile with springs of kind feelings, with beautiful lm- pulses of service.
 Sometimes you will find such natures ln the most unexpected places. Occasionally you catch glmpses of them in passing. The other night I saw one as l was riding home in the street car The car was crowded with tired, irrtated, uncomfortable people released from their work into the pouring rain. All these people the conductor had 10 manage And packed in as they were like sardines in box, he had to make his way through them and collect the fares. You know how some conductors act under slml- lar circumst ances how they push, and fret, and complain, and to the general lrrlta- ton, add resentment. But thls conductor did nothing of the kind. He went at his task easily, quietly and resolutely, without being in the least aggressive. Though he did not smile, be looked pleasant. He con trolled the situation without saying word His cheerful silence, supported by his strength, made every one in that car feel more comfortable. If l were an employer of men, with big business, l would find that conductor and offer him position. He would be worth many times his salary as conductor.
 You find the same quality illustrated among animals Have you ever noticed those dogs that manage sheep? Some of them are nervous and ugly. They irritate the sheep They administer their rebukes in vicious bites. Others of the dogs never show uginess or nervousness. They never bite the sheep. They are always running along the edge of the flock, wagging their tails and showing in their faces and in their open mouths, tongue out, unmistak- able good humor. They seem to be having 8 good time. Even when they bark there is something pleasant about the sound But usually they are silent, pleasantly silent. They are like the wonderful silent people, Washington Herald

HOW GUNS AFFECT THE EARS

A news dispatch published under Berlin date says that the normal ear is not affected in any noticeable degree by the noises of even the heaviest artillery, according tJ conclusions based upon long study of artillerymen by Berlin ear specialist
 Of fifty-one artillerists observed for long period by this specialist, none exhibited any objective symptoms, and only four com plained of subjective injuries, mainly ring ing in the head" In Investigations covering whole year, only one case of burst ear drum was found.
 The ordinary recruit, who serves only two years in peace times in the heavy artillery, rarely incurs any lasting injury to his ears Officers who have served many years not infrequently leave the service with chronic partial deafness or ringing in the ears. h. vestigation appears to show, however, that these sufferers did not have normal organs when they enlisted.

It will show you the needle brought throueh from under side, and when needle is brought back to right side of design for re-insertion, the thread is laid flat across the design up close to the pre. ceding stitch.
 The French knot stitch is one of the simplest to make in embroidery. if simply being couple of twists of cotton around the needle, drawn tight. Run needle down through material and up again as close as possible then make slack of a couple of inches of thread, hold down at end of slack with thumb and, wind the slack once or twice around the needle and run needle down again close to where it was brought up (see illustration) and the knot is formed. The size of knot is regulated by how many times the

that the needle is pointed toward you when making the stitch. To start the stitch we will assume that you want to make a stitch about one-quarter inch long. Bring the needle up at the point you wish to start from, hold the thread to one side. advance the stated distance and bring needle through as shown in illustration and repeat until design is completely outlined. The size of the stitch is regulated according to design to be embroidered.
 The long and short stitch is use in conjunction with outline when it is desired partially to fill in space over tinting. It is simply an alternating long and short stitch as shown in the illustration. Notice that needle has been brought up on stamped line and gees down as close to preceding stitch as possible

 It is just as important to make a proper chcice of food for school lunch as it is for dinner. Trotsids serve a certain function in the body. and they must be present in our menus in order to care for that part of the boGy which is cared for by proteids. The same is true of carbohydrates fats mineral matter and water, hence when any one of the food principles is not found in our meals, or is given in deficient amount, the function which they are designed to perform is neglected and the efficiency of the body is decreased.
 All food principles are necessary whether it is a dinner. breakfast or school lunch. However. we need net alwals eat meat in order to have proteids in the diet. Chetse, baked beans, eggs. fish. peanuts or milk win answer the purpose. Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes. rice or macaroni will supply the starchy bo-hydrate, as well as mineral matter. and some good pure water is essential for good health and should be found in every school. It should be drunk freely. not from common drinking cup. but from drinking fountain or from individual drinking cups.
 Foods easily digested should be selected for a school lunch. so that the minds of the children will be free and bright. It is often argued that some foods make brain, but w know from study of foods that no food has the power of prducing brain fibre. But because some foods are easily digested. they require only q small amount of blood energy for their digestion and then the energy can be utilized by the brain, giving greater brain capacity.
 The digestion of food is often ef- fected by the odor and appearance of food. For instance. many of us say that things look so good and smell so good that they make our mouth water Making our mouths water is drawing lout saliva. Saliva is digestive fluid, and with an abundance of saliva and ether digestive juices, which flow under the same sensation, we are certain to have better diges- 1 tion. sNt
 Very often hot soups or hot drinks are arranged by teachers who have limited cooking apparatus. However if this is not possible, each child can arrange to carry its hot food iu a small homemade fireless cooker ol

CLEANLINESS MEANS HEALTH
The Refrigerator. Mrs. Kate B. Vaughn

MfS. Kate B. vaughn.
 Too much care can not be expended in keeping the refrigerator clean. It would hardly seem necessary to bring this matter before capable house. wives, and yet there are women whose homes are immaculate and in perfect order and yet whose re- frigerator when opened always emits a stale odor, If you suggest to her that her refrigerator should be airec once week. she will tell you that it takes too much ice to get it cool after it has been emptied, cleaned and is economizing at the expense of the health and well being of her family.
 Anything spilled in refrigerator should be wiped up at once.
 No food should be allowed to spoil in the refrigerator.
 At least cnce a week all food should be taken out of the food closet, the ice box emptied and every part Of the refrigerator washed with borax soda. CT ammonia water. Use small mop and a skewer. so that every cor ner is thoroughly cleansed. Wash the drain pipes with cloth oyer long wire and rinse with hot water in which baking soda has been boiled.
 Wipe every part dry and allow the refrigerator to rsmains open until it Is thoroughly aired. The racks and ether removable parts may be dried in the sum-
 Never put hot foods in the refrig- orator.
 If it is ever necessary to put in the refrigerator foods with strong odors. such as salads, containing onions or salmon salad cover tightly.
 Always keep milk and butter cov- cred. as they will otherwise absorb the odors of the ether foods.

A SMART SUIT WITH MILITARY SUGGESTION

IN OYS will be delighted with this
 suit, for it hints strongly of
 the soldier. yet it is not aggres- eively military, and is one of the very new ones with the flaring coat portion and with a yoke. If the six pockets seem too many, those on the belt or those on the upper part of the coat pr both may be omitted. The trousers are of the knickerbocker sort, finished with hems and elastic. The suit is one df the newest and smartest of the sea- son and at the same time, it is a simple one and can be made at home without any difficulties. In the picture, the material is Navy blue 6crge, but all the materials that are available for boys suits, are appro- priate, and this year, great deal of chcviot and frieze is expected to be worn. The pattern allows all the eeams and, at the same time, gives the true basting line, SO that 1t is the easiest thing in the world to cut out the material and to haste and sew accurately. The fact that the coat is made in sections, so to speak, makes II an easy one to handle and an easy one to manage. The belt conceals the seams. < For the 10 year size will be needed | yds. of material 36 in. wide. 3H yda ". 2N yds. 54. K
