There has been current In England
OF recent years a reaction against rea-
son, an avowed worship Of instinct
and tradition and even prejudice. The
doctrines of this reaction are In them
selves fascinating, and they have been
preached by fascinating writers. The
way of instinct and old habit Is so full
Of ease, so facile and strong and I'M
troubled! Look at the faces Of men
who are wrapped up In some natural
and instructive purpose. Look at a dog
chasing his prey, lover pursuing his
beloved, band Of vigorous men ad-
vancing to battle, a crowd OF friends
drinking and laughing. That shows
us, say the writer's aforesaid, what life
can be and what 1t ought to be. LET
us not think and question" they say.
LET us be healthy and direct, not fret
against the main current of instructive
feeling and tradition"
In matters of art such habit OF
mind may be valuable. In matters OF
truth or of conduct 1t is, believe, as
disastrous as II Is alluring. - Gilbert
Murray in Atlantic.

DESTROYING Guns.

1t may be necessary to destroy guns
to prevent them falling into the hands
Of the enemy, or to make captured
guns useless. If small amount Of
dynamite or other explosive is avail
able, Of course this can be done very
effectively. If not, the breech Of the
gun is closed and the hinge joints
smashed as much as possible with
handspike or pick. If there is time a
few rife shots fired at the vital points
of the gun effectively jam the mechan-
ism so as to make It useless. With
rifles, the butts are broken off and the
barrels destroyed as much as possible.
To do this the rifles are well heated
over fire and smashed up with heavy
hammers Ammunition is destroyed
by placing it in a deep pit and setting
1t on fire. Telegraph wires are cut up
into small pieces and the poles cut
down and broken up. = London Elk

Let Them Hunt For II.

A minister In local church known
for his absent mindedness by the mem
bers of his own family, but not to his
congregation, saved himself from COM
plete exposure at a recent service by
his quick wit.
He had studied his sermon carefully,
but had neglected to make any nota-
tlons of the number Of the chapter and
verse from which the text was taken.
In the pulpit he announced the text
and then stopped short while the con-
gregation waited to hear from what
place In the Bible it was taken.
AS he noticed absence of notes to this
fact he quickly announced, I'm going
to give you week to find from what
chapter and verse this phrase was
taken" So was exposure averted.-

KEEP TEETH IN CONDITION
Not Only Personal Appearance, But
Health, Is Affected by Neglect
of Their Care.

Next to a bad complexion, there Is
nothing quite SO ruinous TO beauty as
poor teeth. So often you see a girl
who is wonderfully pretty until she
smiles, and then her whole face Is
ruined by a set of dark, discolored,
uneven teeth. Leaving beauty out or
the question, however, there is more
serious side to this subject. The read
ers are urged to care for their teeth
as they would for precious pearls, not
only for the sake of personal appear
ance, but for the sake OF health itself.
Physicians will all tell you that the
stomach is at the bottom of most phys
the root of all evil, but the cause OF
most weak stomachs is bad teeth.
When the teeth are decayed and sensi-
tive 1t is almost impossible to chew
any food properly. Consequently the
stomach becomes very quickly disor-
gained.
You should brush your teeth after
every meal and then use dental floss
to go into the crevices. Once day
is sufficient for the paste, although 1t
can be used morning and night with
out harm. In brushing the teeth you
should first use the brush lengthways
in the ordinary way with the teeth
closed, scrubbing we'll up and down
into the gums. Then open the jaws
and scrub across the fairness OF the
molars, taking pains to go into every
corner. From there pass on into the
inside of the teeth, brushing thorough
ly in the inner part Of the upper and
lower front teeth. When they have
been cleaned this way hold the brush
upright In your hand and with the
Jaws open brush up and down the
grain of the teeth. In the morning the
tongue and gums should be given an
extra cleansing with special paste.
After each meal, when the teeth
have been brushed, run a piece Of
dental floss between each two teeth.
If you are in an office have an extra
toothbrush and a spool of dental floss
down there to be used after lunch each
day.
For sanitary reasons it is best to
invest in a new tooth brush once
every six weeks. Once a week pour a
stream of boiling water over the bris-
ties to cleanse them.

The Word Bible.

The word Bible is derived from the
Latin name Biblia, which was treated
as a singular, although 1t comes frcm
the Greek neuter plural meaning little
books" This Greek diminutive was
derived from byblus, or papyrus, the
famous material on which ancient
books were written. The title "Bible"
was first used about the middle of the
second Christian century In the so call
ed second epistle Of Clement, xiv, 2.

FOR HOPE-CHEST DRAPERY
Letters and Monogram Designs of the
Present Are Beautiful as
Well as Varied.

The engaged girl need be at no loss
for new designs in letters and mono
grams for the hope-chest drapery, il
she stops to consider the varieties Of
alphabets that are being shown
among the newest embroidery pat
terms. Even the obvious letter 0
may take on enough novelty to make
it unrecognizable. Perhaps the new
est and most novel addition to the
hosts of artistic alphabets are the
Japanese letters. They are most eff
fective when done in the familiar
Japanese blue on white. While the
Japanese lettering is original and at
tractive, 1t is not sufficiently dignified
for the more formal pieces Of linen,
and should be reserved for towels,
luncheon cloths, pajamas, etc. For
the large dinner cloths and napkins
the old English lettering is always
good, and may be varied by working
the letter in a heavy outline stitch
and filling in the solid parts with
seed stitch Cutwork letters are new
and most effective for table and bed
linens. Even the simple block let
tiers are to be preferred to the ornate,
much-bescrolled script letters that
once were the only alternative to the
stately old English alphabet. Three of
these straight block letters combined
In an oval or diamond of cut work or
solid work make very suitable mono
gram for either table or bed linen. And
don't forget the cross-stitch lettering;
1t is more popular than ever now.

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
JOHNNIE'S WISH.

Johnny always wanted to do some
thing different from what he had to
do. One day, as he was walking
through the woods, he saw a squirrel
run up a tree.
There, that's what should like to
do" he said; 81 should like to be a

minutes, but suddenly he heard a dog
bark, and not being afraid of a dog
as boy, he quite forgot that a dog
could harm a squirrel, so he did not
run until the dog was close to him
and nearly had him in his mouth.
His heart beat so fast when he was
safe up a tree that Johnny Squirrel
felt he should never dare leave the
tall branches again.
Then he felt hungry, but there were
no nuts on the tree, so he looked
about for a hole where he hoped some
were stored.
But when he had found it, two very
angry eyes looked out at him, and a
very angry squirrel asked if he
thought it had nothing to do but gath
er nuts for lazy squirrels like him.
Johnny Squirrel forgot the dog, and
ran down the tree, chased by the other
squirrel, who told him never to dare
come in that tree aagin.
"Whiz, Johnny squirrel felt some
thing go past him, and looking around
he saw man following him with
gun. Away went Johnny Squirrel into
the bushes, and after waiting for the
man to pass he ran up another tree.

made their nest, and thinking he had

him, striking him on a leg; and poor
Johnny Squirrel ran limping into a
cluster of bushes, hoping to escape
the bad boys, but they ran after him,
and he had to run on, with his leg
hurting as he went.
He finally escaped, and ran up a tree

FOURTH OF JULY TETANUS.

The American people have reason to
congratulate themselves over at least
one achievement, and that is the rapid
disappearance of Fourth of July tetan-
us. While the total casualties of the
glorious day are less than quarter
what they were five years ago the
deaths from tetanus have shown a
much greater reduction. In 1903 there
were AIT Fourth of July victims of
that dread malady, in 1909 the number
had been reduced to 1870, while from
last seasons celebration there were
but 8. This is life conservation in the
true sense of the term. why not
entirely eliminate the disease this
year?" asks the United States Public
Health Service
The blank cartridge wound is the
great cause of Fourth of July tetanus.
When driven into the tissues the wad-
ding carries with it innumerable ba-
cilli, and the absorption of the poison
Gus products given off during the
growth of these organisms produces
the disease. The bacilli thrive only
in the absence of oxygen. 1t is for
this reason that the physician en-
larges the wound of inlet and after re-
moving all foreign material, dresses
the injury in such a manner that de-
velopment of the organisms is inhib-
tied. In order to accomplish this it
is usually necessary to administer
general anaesthetic. Antl-tetamc
serum is of great value as prophylac'
tic measure, but it should be given
soon after the receipt of the injury.
Parents should realize that Fourth
of July teanus is easy to prevent but
extremely difficult to cure. No blank
cartridge wound is too trivial to re-
ceive careful medical attention. How
ever slight the injury may appear,
summon a physician ana at once
adopt energetic measures. Reliance
upon home treatment may prove dis
astrous and result in the sacrifice OF
life. In 1903, before the widespread
recognition of the possibilities Of pre-
ventive treatment, one case of tetanus
developed to every blank cartridge
wounds reported; in 1914, there was L
case to every 40 such injuries. This
is the measure of the success OF pre-
yentive treatment.

Breaking Bonds

A case has recently arisen in which
Philadelphia wool merchant took the
wife of another man to Japan and
from there toured with the the recall
citrant lady to Australia, ito be- as
he declared in an enraptured letter,
together in the most perfect love and
harmony until God separates u.s." His
affection for the participant in the
elopement was enthusiastically de-
scribed by him as "a love that en-
riches, that ennobles, that makes life
worth living and makes a man think
of other things in life"
The woman who has sufficient cour-
age to break the bonds of matrimony,
to face the censure Of public opinion,

figuratively and literally bolt from the
scene OF domestic bliss has one quality
at least that must be accorded her,
and that is courage. For every woman
knows perfectly well that social os-
tracism is quite certain to follow her
act, and good many other things as
well, which are more or less unpleas-
ant, and which, apart from the moral
aspect of the case, are going to give
her pretty bad time in those quieter
moments when head once more has
little predominance over heart, and
when the first wild tide of excitement
has ebbed.

I mighty should see fit to separate
them, returned to America, leaving
his 'soulmate" somewhere in Asia or
Europe. Why bring the Almighty into
! the matter at all This is the curious
part of these unhallowed passions
The participants always wish to cover
up their own melancholy mistakes with
a cloak of sanctity, a special type of
religious glamour, as it were, which
really deceives no one, least of all
themselves. sas
The married woman who allows her
self to become unduly interested in
any man other than her own husband
is surely counting disaster. | am con-
vinced, however, that those unfortu-
nate affairs, with which the papers
are daily filed, are the result of idle
ness more than the result of ungov-
ernable passion. The excitement of
the forbidden has a strange attraction
for many women, particularly those
of the neurotic type. 1t is generally
the leisured woman, by the way, who
falls into that sort of affair. The wife
who has lots of work to do has not
time for intrigue.
A regular passion for intrigue is
leading characteristic of some women.
They love to run the risk of placing
themselves in compromising situa-
tons, they love to dabble in mild love
affairs, they are never happy unless
they are sailing on the treacherous
waters of forbidden love affair. The
