Utilizing All the Ground.

This country is so new and so given
to thinking CT farms as huge areas
for cultivation that the idea of utiliz-
ing every bit of land as Europeans
do, makes little headway here. Inten-
sive cultivation is practiced. but on
the outskirts of eastern cities. where
some farmers are making good liv-
ings by intensive cultivation of small
tracts of land there are other tracts
just as good lying idle which at least
could be made to yield vegetable sup
plies for several families and at the
same time pay small rental II cul-
tivated by a few workmen in their
spare time. School children's gardens
on vacant lots in various sections of
this city show the possibilities of such
ventures. The old American idea that
every family with access to a bit of
land should have its own garden was
an excellent one. 1t would be good to
have it revived-New York Tribune.

Why Glass Doesn't Stop Liobt.


Why doesn't the closed window shut
out light just as much as it shuts out
sound? Both light and sound travel
through the air and their waves come
in contact with the glass. The light.
after it has gone through the window.
seems just as strong or stronger. while
the sound seems ever so much weaker.
Why is it? many of us have wondered,
The reason is that light is not a
wave of air, while sound is. Light Is
a wave in the ether which is in the
glass as well as in the air, SO that light
in passing through glass still has it's
natural path of ether.
But when sound waves strike the
window glass they must put the glass
into vibration, and the glass in turn
must make the air inside vibrate. All
this lessons the strength of the sound
waves and they reach our ears capable
of producing less startling effect
than the light waves which reach our
eyes.

HEALTH AND SALARY.

Good health is not always gift of
nature. Like other commodities. it
may be acquired or earned.
Seventy-five per cent of our ailments
are self-made or self-induced
Nature intended to start us in health
and to keep us well, and most of US
can have the health we want if we
will, unless we are prenatally handi-
capped.

disorder. But nature alone can no
more guarantee good health than can

Business has not time or inclination
for sympathy. 1t is its province to
make money. and it cannot, under pres
ent conditions, tolerate either indif
ference. tnefficiency, incapacity. or i'll
health. 1T demands the best there is
in us If we would succeed.
If one cannot meet business require
ments in the main. it will have nothing
to do with him, and win relegate him
to the scrap heap. 1t is just as much
your duty to keep in good health. il
you can, as it is to be on time at the
office in the morning and to work faith
fully during the business day.
Your employer has a right to de-
mand health of you, as well as faith
fulness. While he may sympathize
with you If you are suffering from
some ailment for which you may or
may not be responsible, he cannot de-
pend upon you. or promote you. or
give you full opportunity unless your
physical condition is up to normal or
strong enough to permit you to do your
duty with fair degree of efficiency.
Statistics show that poor health is
second only to dissipation and extrava-

The physically weak man who takes
care of himself is often better able to
work than is one of robust health who
is dissipated, extravagant. Indifferent

You cannot make a normal success
of business unless you are normal both
physically and mentally; your brain
cannot do its full work unless it is
supported by a healthy body, and your
body cannot be in good condition un-
less it is given as good care as that
bestowed upon the heartless engine or

Late hours, overeating. lack of exer-

To abuse your body is robbing your

Your body has been given you as

Health stands for comfort, pleasure,
peace of mind, and prosperity.
If you are strong. keep yourself
strong; II you are weak, take all the
more care of yourself. Look upon
your body as not a mere physical as
set, but as an investment, to be hus-
banded and to be protected more than
you would the family jewels or the

HE CLOSED THE DOOR.


John was an iceman. For years he
had driven his wagon along the city
boulevards and through the back al
leys. He was a strong. husky fellow,
popular with the boss and with his Gus
toners. He was accommodating, and
his ringing Good morning" was al
ways welcome. He was ambitious, but
didn't know it; was satisfied because
over his horizon little had arisen save
horse and an ice cart.
Among his customers was a multi
millionaire, the president of a bank
and the owner of the largest factory
located under his library. Every morn
ing this man of business sat before
the open window. or before the glow
ing CRATE. and read his morning paper.
Old as he was. busy as he always had
been, his eye had not lost its power of
penetration or his ear it's acuteness.
He saw and he heard more than most
men.
The grocery boys, the market men.
and others delivered their goods below
his window. and every one, save the
iceman, slammed the door when he
went out; but John always closed it
softly.
One day as John was leaving. the
millionaire poked his head out of the
window and exclaimed: Say, you
man. why don't you slam the doors
like the other fellows?"
John was confused for a moment.
then he pulled himself together and
replied:
What's the use of being nuisance
when you don't have to be?"
Got moment to spare?" asked the
millionaire.
Sure" replied John

The iceman held the cigar in his
fingers, not daring to light it.

ing, l have something to say to you.

STERLING EXCHANGE
 IMPORTANT FACTOR
Commercial Conditions in U. s.
 Improving, Says CleWs
Especial to the Herald, ],

New York, June 19.-Sterling ex- change was once more the feature in financial affairs The pound sterling sold this week at ATS IA, the lowest quotation in over century. This is discount of about 2 1-4 per cent, about per cent. on French exchange, F. .on Italian, 16 on German and 24 on Russian. This demoralization of exchange, as every one knows, is due to the war and the consequent impair nrent of national credit The decline has been complicated by the violent dislocatien of our foreign trade with the belligerents. While our imports nave declined materially ,our exports have increased enormously, creating a fabulous excess in the latter of about one billion dollars during the closing fiscal year. These comparisons show that thus far Great Britain has stood the strain far better than any other nation, and while it is possible that sterling may sell at still lower figures, there are as yet no signs of weakness in Britain's ability to finance both herself and her allies until the end of the war. The exhibition of strength and skill which British finance is making is remarkable, and far exceeds all expectations; nothing ike it having even been witnessed in history. Thus far the national debt of Great Britain has increased about s4.000. .000,00, and has more than doubled in amount since the war be- gan. Mir. Asquith notified his fellow countrymen the other day that the war, which has been costing about s13 100000 a day, including about S1,00o, ,000,0O0 advanced to her allies. will soon cost over $15,ooo, 900, or at the rate of nearly $500, 000,000 an- nua1ly. Such waste is staggering. When it is remembered that the war is costing other nations proportionate- ly as much as Great Britain, and more where cities and districts are wiped out, this devastation seems utterly be- .ond human comprehension. It would seem as if exhaustion alone

must quickly end such a terrific cataclysm. Yet it would be prema- ture to calculate upon any such re- suit at an early date; for the struggle may last another year unless a mili- tary miracle of some sort nastens the end. 1t must be borne in mind that the resources and popu1auon and wealth of the principal belligerents have been enormously augmented since the last great war, and it is doubtful if the per capita cost of this war to the taxpayer IS any greater than the Napoleonic war which ended with the battle of wascrioo. In the case of Great Britain, it is calculated that her national income is about s10, 900, 900. 900 annually: so that with her vast investments abroad, valued at s2o. GOO, 900. 900 and her foreign trade of nearly $7,000, 900, ,ooo annu- ally. it is quite evident that thus far Britain's financial resources are far

U. $. CRUISER BACK
 FROM DARDANELLES
North Carolina's Crew Says Allies
 Have Suffered Heavily-Alexan- dria's Filled With Wounded

Boston, June 19.-The cruiser North Carolina yesterday returned to home waters after ten months of va ried foreign service, bringing accounts of the fighting in the Dardanelles Officers and men said that the British and French forces had sustained heavy loses, and that the hospitals at Alexandria were filled to overflowing with wounded.
 Some of the wounded they said told them that the Australian troops had suffered especially in attempts to land under the Turkish fire, and that in one instance, British war vessel fired on the men and killed many as they struggled up the heights on the southern shore, in the belief that they were enemy forces.
 British and American sailors were not on friendly terms at Alexandria according to the North Carolina's crew. Taunts by British tars that the United States was afraid to fight" resulted in several street encounters, and much hard feeling was shown.
 The North Carolina went to Europe carving gold to the Americans stranded there by the war, and re- mained to do other services

Baldwin Locomotive Makes New
 High Record at 66 t-4

New York, June 1S.-war shares were the only features of interest in todAy's very dull stock market. Bald win Locomotive made a new high rec ord at 66 1-4 and a few other spe- cialties of that class, including Beth- lehern Steel, rose one to two points. Some measure of the markets gem eral trend may be taken from the fact that dealings in Baldwin Locomotive and Distillers Securities were much larger than the overturn in United States Steel and other usual favorites. Distillers at 2s 1-2 also made high record price. There was scarcely any demand for the high class railway is- sues, some of which remained unQuot- ed for the entire session.

"Sotheby nodded. Tell me the

although it was not the same Evelyn

will probably marry him; but she
never intended to marry you.
