Try GentIeness and the upIift and
Kindly, Soothing Words,
Treat your furnace kindly. Let your
watchwords as a furnace tender be
g%entleness and uplift. BE firm with
your furnace. but always gentle. Some
persons imagine that the way TO make
a furnace behave properly is to first
shake it violently and then maui the
life out of the remaining Goals with the
poker. They try chastisement when
they should try gentleness and uplift
and only succeed in packing the coal
harder and destroying ventilation. the
secret of successful furnace tending.
Nothing responds more readily to up
lift than does a furnace fire. When in
the early morning you wish to arouse
the furnace fire from its slumbers. you
should first shake 1t gently, then gently
tickle the ribs of the CRATE with the
poker to make ventilation more perfect
and then crack the top crust with a
lever-like uplifting use of the poker. In
a minute the fire will be wide awake
and in good humor. laughing and stick
ing out its tongues of flame at you in
merriment.
Never swear at your furnace. nc mat
ter how it annoys you. That will make
it sulky and obstinate. You never saw
a furnace which was sworn at often
which was not frequently sulky and

the mere suggestion just keeps me
from losing my temper and hammering
my fire to pieces. But, anyway, the re-

Brushing the Teeth Regularly.

If the child is taught early to brush
its teeth 1t becomes a matter of habit,
which 1t carries through life, and the
result is a fairly perfect set.
If the first teeth are brushed and
kept in good condition and a dentist
visited at least once in six months
there is little danger of the second
teeth being infected or crooked.
1t sometimes happens that a first
tooth remains in the gum too long
that is. after the second tooth shows
signs of coming through. This condi-
ton should not be allowed TO exist, as
the first tooth is liable to irritate the
gum. which will become sore and In
fected. and pus will be the result.
Ii the first tooth does not fall out
naturally on the appearance OF the
second the child should be taken to a
dentist and the offending tooth re
moved.
Crowded and irregular teeth are of
ten the result of first teeth remaining
too long in the gum.

auvina children,s Garments.

In buying goods for children the
mother should invest only in those ma.
terials which are very closely woven.
1t is not so much the weight OF the
goods as the weave. The loose weaves
pull apart in no time. and for children
they are practically useless. A tight
weave need not be very heavy, but ii
will wear well. 1t is most important
to consider this carefully when buying.
Then. too, when a really fine piece
Of goods Is found it is better to buy in
large quantities. for another fine piece
may not be found, and the same mate
rial may be used in many ways.
For instance. from one kind Of goods
may be made two dresses for the little
daughter. each in a different style and
with different trimming, a little suit
for the son and perhaps even a skirt
for the mother herself. There need
never be any waste in fine goods, foE

tain called Mizpah
Watch Tower They came in consid-
cradle numbers, seeking God.
A Great Reformation Effected.
The Prophet Samuel put the matter
before the people distinctly, saying, III
We do return to the Lord with all your
hearts, then put away the strange gods
and Ashtaroth from among you, and
prepare your hearts unto the Lord, and
serve Him only; and He will deliver
you out of the hand of the Philistines.'
He was warranted in telling them this;
for Gods Covenant with them was
that il they would obey His Laws, and
be loyal to Him, He would guide their
interests to their highest welfare, but
that If they were disobedient and dis
loyal. He would deliver them into the
hands of their enemies and punish
them Seven Times.
Baalim is the plural of B~aal-caretak-
err. The Israelites had been forewarn-
ed to keep themselves from idols to
such an extent that they might not
even make an image of Jehovah. But
all around were the Canaanites, whom
they had not driven out of the land.
These C%anaanites had Baal idols in
all their towns and even in their
homes. as protective genii,
Ashtaroth Is the plural of Ashcroft,
a female deity, known also as Ishtar
and Astarte. Connected with her
worship were many licentious services
supposed t o promote fertility-propaga-
ton of the human species. If Samuel's
work influenced all Israel to put away
their gods and to worship and serve
Jehovah only. he accomplished much.
Such reformations do not come by
change. nor are they miraculous.
Samuel prayed for the people of Is
rael. who poured out water before the
Lord, tasted and confessed that they
had sinned against the Lord. This con-
fession was appropriate when asking
the God whom they had offended to
receive .them back into covenant rela-
tionship with Himself. The humility
necessary to such confession would be
profitable in their Understanding.
Israel Blessed by Samuel's Judseship.
Samuel judged the children of Israel
in Mizpah.; he gave advice in respect
to their affairs-disputes, proper course
Of conduct. etc. Thus the nation was
making a new start.
Meanwhile the Philistines, having
heard Of the gathering, came against
them with an army. The Israelites had
come together for prayer; nevertheless
they were probably more or less arm
ed. But they felt quite unprepared to
meet the Philistines, and asked Sam
uel to cry to God, that He save them
from the Philistines. They were learn
ing to look for help in the right direc-
ton. This cry, coming after they had
vowed to be loyal to Jehovah, put them
into a very different attitude toward
Him from that of twenty years pre-
vious, when they calledzfo for the Ark to
lead them against the Philistines.

Austrian Consul General May
Face Criminal Charges
if He Stays.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1O.-Cancel-
lation Of the exequatur Of Alexander
Won huber. Austrian consul general
in New York city and a demand that
he leave the country or face criminal
charges will be the answer OF the
United States TO the demand Of the
Austrian charge here that the de-
partment Of justice withdraw it's
charge that ne plotted to destroy
American ammunition plants.
1t is understood on high official
authority that this action would
have been taken before except that
Pres't Wilson did not desire to start
any additional controversy with Aus
tria-Hungary until the AncOna de-
mand has been considered at Vienna.
It is expected that not only will Won
Nuber's exequatur be cancelled but
that similar action will be taken in
the cases of at least three addition
al Austrian consular representatives
whose identity is at present with
held.
In a statement issued from the
department of justice three weeks
ago, Chief Investigator Bielaski di-
rectly charged that Consul Gen. Won
huber had aided directly in a con-
spiracy to destroy American NUM-
ton plants. The Austrian charge
here made unofficial representations
demanding that this charge be with
drawn on the ground that there was
no evidence to bear it out. The
state department referred the re-
quest to the attorney general. A
week ago the Austrian embassy here
filed an official request for a recon-
sideration and both still are under
consideration.
Pres't Wilson will discuss the en-
tire matter with Sec'y Lansing and
Atty. Gen. Gregory soon after he re-
turns to this city tomorrow. Sec'y
Lansing refused today to discuss the
Austrian crisis in any way. He said
that he would make no statement
regarding the status of the consul
general and other Austrian officials
until complete decision has been
reached on all of the points involved.

LONDON. Dec. 1O.-In all the
capitals Of the entente powers the
peace talk Of Dr. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg. the German imperial chan
cellor. met with stern rebuffs today.
The attitude of the allied govern
ments is summed up in this lacOnic
phrase:
1--WE are determined to fight it out
on this line if it takes 10 years"
From Petrograd, Rome and Paris
come messages breathing the spirit
Of confidence which has marked the
allies since the war began.
However, while the allies are de-
termined TO stand together and con-
slider no proposals for peace, they do
not underestimate the strength Of
the German allies, nor do they min
imize the victories that Germany
and her allies have won up to date.

sidered that the best answer TO the
German chancellor is the IA I that

it was learned today, as to how the
German high seas feet might be
forced from its haven in the Kiel

Of that question it was said that Ad-

Premier Asquith of England, Pre-

the question Of peace. They be-
lieve that Germany has already
passed the climax Of her military
achievements and that the peace

is an effort to bring up the question
of terms while Germany is at the
zenith Of her conquest.
