War Popular
In the Movies
BATTLE SCENES AFFORD. THE.
NECESSARY ELEMENT OF
EXCITEMENT.

War will always be popular in the
movies, as 1t Introduces the necessary
element of excitement. The essence
Of successful motion picture is &C.
tion-it is. so to speak, the very mar.
row of the thtng-and war is action,
besides being, according to the late
General Sherman (who is suspected OF
not saying anything Of the sort) He'll.
War always was and always will be,
for human nature does not and cannot
change. Hague Tribunals; peace con.
ventions; and all the rest OF the pro.
paganda for the purpose will never
eradicate war. Remove the cause
and the effect will cease" The cause
of war is defective human nature;
and you cannot change that.
There are several war scenes in

British troops were forced to scale
heights, soaring 10 ESQ feet, an
achievement shown in this picture.

fifteen years there he was made COM

TODAY we CELEBRATE.
.Fes.lya! Of s.. Joseph, .he Patron Of

I've 6ylHHa
In the calendar OF Christianity to.
day Is the festival OF st. Joseph, the
husband of Mary. The humble car.
penter who became the spouse of tho
Virgin Mother OF Jesus was long hon.
ored as one OF the great figures OF
Christian history, and his festival was
marked by elaborate celebrations and
ceremonies, but in latter days the day
set apart in his honor passes with
little observance. Joseph is supposed
to have died before Jesus began his
ministry. y
1t is assumed that Jesus and Mary
comforted him in his last hours, and
for this reason he is considered the
special patron OF those who are near.
ing the end of life. and he is invoked
by Catholics for the grace OF a happy
death and the spiritual presence OF
Jesus In the moment of dissolution.
He is also considered the protector OF
infants, inasmuch as he played the
role OF guardian OF the baby Jesus
in his home in Nazareth, and saved
the holy child from .Herod's wrath by
escaping into Egypt. 1.-THE patron Of
the universal church" and "the shadow
Of the Eternal Father upon earth are
among the honors attributed 10 St.
Joseph by the early Christian writer's.

POISON IN TIN CANS.

A few mornings ago one of my
neighbors found a big flock of his
brOoder-raised chicks cold and stiff in
death. On inquiry he learned that
the good woman next door to him had
emptied a can of salmon which after
being opened and partially used had
been kept in the house for some time,
and, Of course, had then begun to de-
cay. The flock Of chicks had found
the salmon and greedily devoured it.
For this indiscretion they paid with
their lives. This incident reminds us
once more of the dangers lurking in
tin cans, and that spoiled meat and
fish is unfit, even to feed animals.

FIGHTING FOR PURE MILK.

81
Milk is certainly the most import
ant article of food in the human
dietary and it is also the most con-
taminable. 1t is, therefore, up to the
farmer to see that the milk from his
dairy gets to city babies in as reason
able a state of cleanliness as possible.
Not that this is an exclusively baby
problem. for all sorts of diseases are
carried through milk. tuberculosis is
an example of this class, and a num-
ber of epidemics of diphtheria and
scarlet fever have been traced to the
milk supply, but when we pause to
consider that one-fifth Of all the
babies born in the United States die
in their infancy from preventable dis
eases and that sixty per cent Of these
are due to gastrO-intestinal diseases,
due to improper feeding or impure

be dispensed with to advantage; the
care of draperies, heavy carpets, use
less bric-a brac-frequently unbeau-
tiful objects-require an endless
amount of labor, and they are the
finest dust and germ collectors | can
think of. Every housewife should
rid her home of all nonessentials in
the household equipment. both for the
sake of health and beauty.
In a well-planned home the kitchen,
where the housewife spends the
greater part Of the day. should have
hrst consideration. The kitchen
should not be too large, but should
he well lighted, we'll ventilated, and
have an air shaft over the stove to
carry off surplus heat and odors. By
placing the table, shelves and cub
boards compactly and with reference
to the number of steps to and from
the stove. much unnecessary labor
may be saved.
There are a few very inexpensive
devices, too for the kitchen that will
save steps. A table with rollers-one
that can be moved about easily-will
be found great convenience. A
plain stool, such as is used in Offices
adjusted to a height with reference
TO the table, will prove a wonderful
relief TO a tired back. So many duties
can bep erformed while sitting-such
as preparing vegetables, etc A fire.
