governing themselves, but of the men gov

GERMANS ARE EATING NETTLEs.
"IOnorabie Vegetable" Praised by

Nettles. which the Lokal Anzeiger
has discovered to be an excellent food
for Germany have never been de-
spised In any country-in time of
famine. We know that just before the
time OF the French Revolution the
chevaliers of France had n subtle
alchemy, whereby they could extract
rent from old women gathering net
ties on the village commons: but
Victor Hugo in Les Miserables," has
said the last word in praise OF the
nettle Gs an honorable vegetable.
His hero, Madeleine, one day saw
some country people engaged in pull
ing up nettles. They are dead" said
be. Nevertheless, it would be q good
thing TO know how to make use of
them. When the nettle is young, It
makes an excellent vegetable; when
it Is Older It has fibers and filaments
like hemp or flax. Nettle cloth is as
good az linen cloth. Chopped up, net
ties are good for poultry; pounded
they are good for horned cattle. The
seed OF the nettle, mixed with fodder,
gives gloss to the hair of animals; the
root, mixed with salt. makes a beau

an excellent hay, which can be cut

been hard. For instance, the other

WHEN CHARITY Is NOT CHARITY,

WHEN Gil AltlIN IL NOI tHAltI lN q.
II is better to be humane than it is
to be charitable.
1t Is better 10 make condition Of
life such that It Is not only to be toll
Grated. not only to be endured, but
rather that the one who lives it may
gather sweet fruits Of his own plant
ing and harvesting in the little while
he is here.
1t Is fine to be charitable. 1t was
a knowing mind that said charity is
greater than hope and faith. But in
that time charity was what today is
humancncss. To give to the needy,
to give to those in want; to tender
coin and write checks for an unknown
and unseen person that he may en-
durs a life--these things are among
the noblcr sentiments that beat and
throb In emotional rythm in the
breasts OF him who so does.
But the man who IL able to give
and who feels better after having
given-and he himself derives no
benefit II he does not feel a pleasing
scnse-can perform a more soulful
deed and accomplish a greater good
through fostering that which perma-
nently will work. Charity is a tenn
porary help. abiding and useful only
until gone. If mistakenly placed. too
often It does more harm than good as
for which It was given. Charity is
like the major operation. Humane
ness is the first aid to the injured
that so often makes X unnecessary for
the patient to go to the hospital. 1t
nurtuTes in the heart OF him who re-
ceives a desire to do, a desire to help
himself, and the aid that may be given
to better his condition of life stirs up
tho real that in him ls.
II is not charity to so into the
fields of the sick man and plow them
over. II is not charity to watch his
harvest for him or to store It In his
barn and granaries. That is a quality
OF humaueness, and as with mercy,
II Is not strained. II Is charity to pay
your employees hospital or any OF his
other bills 1t is nothing more than
humanity to pay that employe wage
sufficient so that he. with due exercise
OF economy, yet within the bounds OF
pleasure TO which all arc Justly en-
titled. may be able to meet his own
obligations in times OF ordinary stress
and average hardships.
From day TO day. week In and week
out, year after year. the public is
called upon to enlist part OF its saw
lngs in institutions and in works Of
charity. Perhaps It is well. Perhaps
that In the final summing up there
will have come a greater good than
a greater harm from such giving. And
well it is to trust that it may be so.
Always we have had the poor with
US
Always may We expect to have. But
among the poor are they that ask
for aims and they that ask for a
chance. And there are they among
the poor who hold charity an abom-
nation, hold It in adherence; yet they
would welcome humaneness-kind
treatment and kind words, a friendly
greeting and goodby, shoulder at
the wheel in heavy clay-a chance.
This is great day in a great age.
It ls a world OF great charity In which
we live. And while perhaps It might
not we'll be that charity be lessened,
certainly there should be filled with
humaneness that great void into which
charity cannot be at home.
