On Reading and Owning Books

From the New York World
 MT. Hamlin Garland, a writer of books. Is growing discouraged over the failure of the American people to buy and read new books. The current, he thinks. ia against the writers of books and he as- signs as a reason for this decline in the reading habit that lone cannot maintain a collection of books together with a singing machine and an automobile"
 Among other things that are driving books out of the households and break ing up the reading habit where such A habit may formerly have flourished Mir. Garland mentions the '10-cent broadsheet magazine, the daily newspaper. which we always have with us and which is e necessity of city life, and chiefly, per haps the voluminous Sunday newspaper with enough reading matter to last the ordinary reader who attempts to read 1t all until the next issue arrives"
 As result of these manifold diver sions to entice the reader away from the more pretentious and stately books MT. Garland says nobody now quotes q verse from poem, a line from a novel or paragraph from a philosopher and consequently the habit of thinking is going out also.
 The situation from MT. Garlands point ol VieW IS certainly pad one for the writers of books. For if there are no buyers and readers of books the pub- fishers will not publish them and their occupation is gone. But the case is perhaps not so bad as 1t appears on the surface It may still be possible for the owner of an automobile and a sing ing machine to own a few books and the probability is that he will do so if the book happens to be one of more than ordinary merit
 or course, as Byron says "a books a book, although there's nothing in it." and books o fthat kind readers do well to leave n the hands of the publishers or the authors. But the book that is worth while in the end generally is recognized. not dollars Is the ambition of the author It gets the fit audience though few' whose voice Is fame and if fame and he need not be discouraged

OUTPUT OF ZINC IN
 BRITAIN DECREASES
Due to Enlistment of Skilled Workmen and Antiquated
 Equipment of Mines

London, July 15.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press )-"The whole problem of increasing the manufacture of spelter In the United Kingdom is engaging the immediate attention of his majestys gov ernment," declared MT. Bonar Law in behalf of the government in Parliament recently More than score of questions had been put to him urging the necessity of preventing any further shortage or rise in price of zinc, which has advanced to nearly five times it's value before the war.
 Strange as it may seem in the face of the urgent demand for zinc in making cartridge cases and other intuition, the output of the British works since the be- ginning of the war has actually been smalled than normal Several plants have lad a number of furnaces idle and the productive capacity of the others has been only about half what it was before the war, The main reason, it is said, is the withdrawal of skilled labor by en- listment At the same time it is admitted that the British plants are old-fashioned lacking the numerous labor-saving device Which have been adopted in Germany and the United States during the past seven or eight years.
 Estimates have now been prepared for the government for the erection of new smelting works of the latest type in this country, capable of dealing with 200 000, ,000 pounds of concentrates year and produc- Ing about 1000 0tons of zinc. The plant could begin to make deliveries within nine months. The cost of erection would be about s400O,0oO
 knotty question in connection with the spelter situation is provided by the outstanding contracts entered into by the Australian mines with German houses As explained by MT Bonar Law:
 "I am not aware that there is any Ger man. owned spelter in Australia. Aus tralia, however, produced large quantities of zinc ores and concentrates. These were not manufactured into speter in Aus tralia, but before the war they were prin- cipally exported to Germany for that purpose. On December Ii the Australian government drew the attention of his majesty's government to the contracts with German firms by which they were controlled. The question of these con- tracts is now being considered"
 Before the war Great Britain was con- tent to procure most of her zinc from smelting companies in Germany, Belgium and France, which extracted the metal from tho Australian ores A bill is being put through the Australian Parliament dealing with the ore supply and releasing tho mines from their German agreements. but some of the mines are owned by companies in England and legislation by the English government will probably be also necessary. The main problem, however. is that of obtaining adequate

UT ETERNAL "HUNT-FOR-HAPPI FITNESS" BEE

tot and see if you don't get wireless message" from the Land d-of-Somewhere ' mighty quick, that you've given happi- ness and you'll know without being told that there's something to your credit in the True Religion Savings bank"
 Understand, I'm not decrying "missions'' foreign missions-not at all, but merely suggest the foregoing as a means to an end, when the eternal ''hunt-for- -happi- ness" bee gets busy in your neighbor hood.
 Nobody loves me-" walls somebody from out wonder.
 Well. then go out in the garden and eat wormsl That's all you deserve if you are living in a world that wants to love people if you haven't done anything to make yourself beloved.
 Now. then, let's see about this: How many people do you love? Truly now; come on-how many?
 Oh. you say you could just love any body who loved you first
 We'll who do you suppose is going to be goose enough to love you if you only love to be loved back? That's not love- my friend, that's a sordid craving for popularity-a flat tering of your pretty vanity. Real love doesn't think about getting back the affection it gives; it knows that if the object of Its love is worthy, 1t gets 1t back without the asking-but as a matter of fact, true love doesn't care snap of it's finger about getting any thing back It's all in the joy of giving.
 Love Is of the angels and whoever saw a calculating angel?
 There are people, though, who figure on what they call love, just as the farmer does on the seeds he plants
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-08-01

They'll apportion so much love" here to this person and in return they'll get wavering field of friendsl
 Pshawl You won't any such thing Loves not like that.
 I honestly and truly believe the reason so many people are unhappy is because they have the 'conscience ache"
 They know they are not doing their duty.
 No person who Is doing his duty as best he can, Is altogether unhappy
 He may become mighty tired of doing 1t, but he doesn't stay awake nights. idly tossing when he hits his pillow. No, not on your life.
 He Is ready for the rest he works for and deserves. The angels guard his siumbers, and nothing but the alarm clock can drag him back from that realm of bliss where the truly good workers dream pleasant dreams and sleep the sleep of the happy!
 The secret of happiness is-service. with a capital "S.'
 It's the same-exactly the same-al- ways
 We get back what we give
 The person who is so concerned about other peoples happiness that he doesn't have time to take an inventory of his own blessings is usually the one who has happiness, ease and appreciation poured down in showers of blessings upon him.
 Now; if you truly "crave" happiness if the eternal 'hunt-for-happiness' bee is busy in your bonnet; if you want 1t with your whole heart and mind and soul and body-the first need is to get rid of that overgrown affection for yourself that you are cherishing so fondly!

h press notices a short time ago
 about the girl out west who
 committed suicide because she
 had sought in vain for happi- nsssq
 T can never attain it." she wrote in the letter she left for her relatives and friends. ''so I die rather than seek further"
 Has 1t ever occurred to you how very many people you know have got that same eternal "hunt-for- happiness" bee buxzing around in their perfectly good bonnets?
 If you have ever had any connection whatever with the "women's department" of a big newspaper you'd realize the ap- paliinsly large number of individuals whose one aim and end in life is to achieve happiness for themselves
 It's always for themselves-did you ever notice that?
 They write letters-good land alive I wish you could see the stuff l get ask ing me to suggest this and that, and the other thing, and it's the one thing on tho face of the Lords green earth that I don't know anything about-because don't demand much of life-I just gladly take what's coming to me and say, Thank you" I've found that there are always enough bouquets among the brick bats to make you feel that way.
 The telephone directory is just full of names of people who would confide in you after a half hours conversation that haU 1nto al in their lives; that they can look for ward to seeing nothing, absolutely noth- ing, ahead of them-not thing but hard luck and i'll fortune.
 Of course, the least you can do when such a person swoops down upon you out of blue sky and makes you a visit, which gives her all the more op- portunity to tell how she knows per- adventure. without a doubt, that nothing ever is going to happen to her that s nice, is to gather her two hands into your poor, little, old, tired ones and tell her that you feel sure that something even then is headed in her direction that will bring her happiness. Then she plaintively walls that you are so sweet and comforting and she wishes she could believs it.
 That's the usual way, but believe me, I'm not so sure by any means that happiness has taken a through train and checked it's baggage in our direc- tion and, pray, why should it?
 The world is full of wells of spark ling. living waters; there are springs with unlimited supplies on most moun- tain tops, but unless the individual wants the water and takes some
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-08-01

trouble to lower the bucket into the well. she's pretty sure not to get any of it.
 A person who is thirsty, but is too indolent to dip deep and get the water that is at hand for her to have if she'll make the effort-how much do you think that one Is going to get? Just about as much as she deserves-which is precious little.
 What is ever coming over me?" the wistful one signs. "Is there ever going to be any happiness In my life?''
 The question Is beyond me. I admit, but at least it gives food for profitable thought.
 Have you ever seen person whose first thought was individual, personal happiness. who attained peace and con- tcntment?
 All about us are men and women liv- ing their lives of work and play, as the case may be, and the one who works the hardest, it seems to me, is the one who is on a still hunt stalking the Bird of Paradise'-happiness.
 Come. now, let's talk 1t over to- gether.
 What have you done to deserve hap piness, anyway?
 Have you ever made any one happy :?
 How often have you given up your selfish moodiness to cheer up some truly desolate creature?
 Have you ever done anything to comfort heart-broken little child, or have you done anything to brighten the life of some poor old lady de- pendent upon public charity in this home" or that one, or the other?
 You may be able to answer ives" to all these impertinent questions, and still, there are other things waiting fo1 you to answer
 Maybe you have plunged heart and soul Cor rather deluded yourself into

 One of the most dlsagreeable and discontented women I know in my whole long list of acquaintances Is a woman who is as "busy as a bee' every minute of her life doing what she calls charity work" and I dare say there are many more like her.
 If you give your level best to the worst side of life, to those dependent upon pub lie charity, and rant and carry on like mad about this charitable institution and that one, and the other one and go back to your own family who need you and give to them only your impatience and nervously demand from them what you have given the others-then I can't see where such a one has anything to her credit.
 You are not even fooling yourself, if you would be candid with yourself and face the truth.
 You know perfectly well that your vicarious charity patients went on their way in no wise cheered by your spurious Christianity.
 You know that the energy you wasted on people had to be returned to you a hundredfold by your own, when they had to coax and pet you after your strenuous days work in the slums, and you were dishonest to make any such demands on your family.

serbIa's King Arthur.

The picture, King Marko Returns
to Head His People," on the Serbian
flag day posters is based on one of the
most popular of Serbian legends, the
Pail Mall Gazette says. Mario, who
ranks as the Serbian King Arthur, was
the son of King Vukashin, whom he
denounced for usurping the throne,
which rightly belonged to Urosh, son
of Dushan. Vukashin cursed him, and
prayed that he might have neither
tomb nor posterity, and be doomed to
serve "the tsar of the Turks" but
Urosh blessed him, and prayed that
he might know no equal in wisdom or
prowess, and be remembered as long
as the earth endured.
"Thus they spake, and thus it came
to pass" says an old Serbian ballad.
Marko fought for the sultan, but "the
sultan feared him, for his wrath was
terrible" and, though he knew no sep
ulture, he lived, says the legends, for
300 years. He still lives in the hearts
of patriotic Serbians, many of whom
believe that one day he will awake
and come forth to restore the glories
of the former empire.

TURN OVER TIME
When Nature Hints About the Food.

When there's no relish to food and
all that one eats doesn't seem to do
any good then is the time to make a
turnover in the diet, for that's Ma
ture's way of dropping hint that the
food isn't the kind required.
For number of years / followed
railroad work, much Of it being Office
work of trying nature. Meal times
were our busiest; and eating too much
and too quickly of food such as is
commonly served in hotels and res
taurants, together with the sedentary
habits, were not long in giving me dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble which re.
duced my weight from 205 to 100
pounds.
There was little relish in any food
and none of it seemed to do me any
good. It seemed the more / ate the
poorer l got and was always hungry
before another meal, no matter how
much l had eaten.
Then l commenced trial of Grape
Nuts food, and was surprised how
small saucer of it would carry me
along, strong, and with satisfied appe-
tite, until the next meal, with no SEN
sations of hunger, weakness or dis
tress as before.
Il have been following this diet now
for several months and my improve
ment has been so great all the others
in my family have taken up the use
Of Grape-Nuts with complete satisfac-
tion and much improvement in health.
Most people eat hurriedly, have
lots of worry, thus hindering digestion
and therefore need q food that is pre-
digested and concentrated in nourish-
ment."
