Genuine HeroiSm,

The characteristic of genuine hero ism is its pers.stency. All 1en have wandering impulses, fits and starts of generosity. But when you have re- solved to be great, abide by yourself, and do not weakly try to reconcile yourself to the world. The heroic cannot be the common, nor the com mon the heroic. If you would serve your brother, because it is fit for you to serve him, do not take back your words when you find that prudent peo- ple do not commend you. Be true to your own act, and congratulate yourself if you have done something strange and extravagant, and broken the monotony of decorous age. It was a high counsel that l once heard given to a young person: Always do what you are afraid to do."--Em erson.

Making of instrument Used In tho Army Is Delicate, Complicated
 Process.

From start to finish, the making of an army bugle is process of much in- genuity and interest. A bugle may not at first sight present a striking re- semblance to it's cousin. the coaen' horn, but the one is practically curled-up version of the other, for, be- fore the bugle is bent into shape. II consists of narrow tube, 51 inches long.
 In the first stage of manufacture the bugle is cut out of sheet copper and rolled into two thin cylinders. technically known as the "belp' and the branch" The narrow tube, which is the bell" is gradually shaped out on molds until the opening is the regu- lar finch diameter. It is then spun on a wonderful machine, and an expert workman takes the rough edges off ths copper.
 Both sections are afterwards filled with molten lead, preparatory to the bending stage, and 1t Is this soiid stuffing which prevents the tube break ing .n the process, and allows 1t to keep its shape. The expert workman, with the aid of formidable lever and hammer, bends the bugle into the fa' miliar shape, the lead being subse- quently melted out at charcoal fur mace, after which the instrument IS sent off to the polishers.
 One of the most intricate parts Of the bugle is the mouthpiece, which is made of nickel silver and turned out on a special lathe. With the mouth piece fixed, the instrument is ready for the testing-room.

was loath to reveal to us the absolute truth.
 Muriel, standing behind her chair, tenderly stroked back the wealth of chestnut hair from her white brow. Her complexion was perfect. even though her face was pale and jaded, and her eyes heavy, consequent upon her long, weary journey from the now frozen North.
 Presently, when by signs both Jack and Olinto had urged her to write, she bent suddenly, and her pencil be- gan to run swiftly over he paper.
 All of us stood exchanging glances in silence, neither looking over her, but each determined to wait in pa- tience until the end. Once started, however, she did cnot pause. Sheet liter sheet she covered. The silence for long time was complete, broken only by the rapid running of the pen ell over the rough surface of the pa per. She had apparently become seized by a sudden determination to explain everything, now that she saw we were in real. dead earnest.
 1 watched her sweet face bent so intently, and as the firelight fell across it found it incomparable Yes; she was afflicted by loss of speech, 1t was true, yet she was surely inex- pressibly sweet and womanly, peer less above all others
 With a deep-drawn sigh she at last finished, and, her head still bowed iu an attitude of humiliation. 1t seemed, she handed what she had written to me-
 In breathless eagerness read as follows
 "Is it true, dear love - for I call you so in return-that you were im- pelled towards me by the mysterious hand that directs all things?

 Before me stood my love, slim, tragic, rather wan figure in a heavy dark travelling coat and felt toque, her sweet lips parted and look of be- wildered amazement upon her coun- tenance as I burst in so suddenly upon her.
 In silence grasped her tiny black gloved hand, and then, also in silence, raised it passionately to my eager lips. Her soft, dark eyes-those eyes that spoke although she was mute met mine, and in them was a look that had never seen there before-a look which as plainly as any words told me that my wild fevered passion was reciprocated
 She gazed beyond into the room where the others had assembled, and then looked at me inquiringly. where upon I led her forward to where they were, and Muriel fell upon her and kissed her with tears streaming from her eyes.

FREE DELIVERY
SERVICE CRIPPLED
Due to Failure Of Congress to
Pass Post Office Appropria-
ton Bill.

Washington, ID. c. Aug. 26.-The
failure of the Democrats to pass
the post Office appropriation bill in
the last Congress has shamefully
crippled the rural free delivery SER
vice.
Members of Congress declare that
carriers and patrons have heard
complaints they are receiving from
both rural carriers and patrons have
been more numerous and bitter in
last few months than for years be-
fore.
Rural carriers claim that they have
suffered chiefly on two accounts; one
that although they are under Civil
service, there have been hundreds of
dismissals without just cause, the
other that their routes have been
heightened and their work increased
without additional pay.
The complaints of patrons from
the rural routes are uniformly based
upon sweeping reductions in the SER
vice.
The conditions causing these COM
plants are due to the failure of the
post office appropriation bill and the
consequent necessity for managing
the postal service under re-enact-
ment of last years appropriation.
The principal changes ordered by
the Department reducing the carrier
;orce arise, first, by the proposed con-
solidation of about 1900 routes 25
miles long into half that number So
miles long; second, in lengtheuinf
the standard routes and still further
reducing the carriers force; third. nv
making one carrier serve two routes
on alternative las, and dropping
H." extra car -. It is estiIla cd
thi6 more th.n w. thousand ru. y
free carriers have lost their places
under these conditions.
The patrons of the rural routes
base their criticisms, first, on the
claim that many have to move their
mail boxes at least half a mile from
former locations, and they instead of
the carriers, must travel that distance
for mail; second, that instead of get
ting mail six times a week they re-
ceive it only every other day, third,
all these changes cripple the effec-
tiveness of the parcel post service, es-
pecially as to perishable goods. There
is also a general complaint of curtail-
ment of the rural free delivery SER
vice.
Mass meetings of patrons have
been held in many localities protest
ing against the Decentralization Of
their service, and are daily becoming
more frequent.

round beef for 20 cents a pound, a
dime, OF any other sum of money
spent for skim milk will provide
nearly twice as much nourishment as
II will IL spent for round steak.
Round of beef, of course, is one of
the lower-priced meats, and when
compared with the more expensive
cuts skim milk makes a still better
showing from the standpoint of eco
nomy. The comparison with oysters
is very significant; a quart of oysters
contains less than twice as much
nourishment as a quart of skim milk,
and yet 1t often costs several times
as much. Both are useful, whole
some foods, and in the oyster one
has a special flavor. A combination
of the two in oyster stew or creamed
oysters is an economical way of using
the oysters. since 1t makes a given
quantity "go further"
Whole, unskimmed milk has, of
course, more pleasing taste TO many
people, and those who do not need
to consider the additional cost will,
no doubt, always prefer it. When
used for cooking however, the differ
ence in taste between skinned and
unskimmed milk is not perceptible,
and there are a great many uses to
which skim milk can be put in the
of foods. In the max
ing of cereal mushes, for instance.
the use of skim milk in place of wa
ter adds greatly to the nutritive val
ue particularly by raising the amount
of tissue-forming materials. In max
ing milk soups, chowders, custards,
and cakes. also. 1t can be probably |
used. In chowders the lack of fat |
is made up by the use of salt pork.

Trading With John ID.

John ID. Rockefeller may, within
his limitations, play at whatever he
pleases. He may sleep as long as he
likes, eat whatever he may persuade
his doctors to allow him. He NAV.
indeed, exercise the power that his
vast accumulation of money provides
him.
But beyond these things Rockefel-
Ter is a prisoner of the guards in his
pay. The common tramp has more
liberty than he, the poorest laborer
less occasion for quarreling with the
pressure of circumstances.
In spite of all this you say YOU
wuold not hesitate to change places
with John ID. That would mean that
you would surrender the right to go
wherever your means permitted you.
For mere pile of dollars you would
exchange freedom from such anxiety
for dread OF the kidnaper and the
assassin. To be coddled and SER
wanted. you would give up forever
the precious privilege of broiling a
fish you have caught over a fire of
sticks you have yourselff built.
The deal would put John ID. Far

he has, as a matter of history, been

Properties Of Skim Milk as Food.

Skim milk is very economical
food material, in the opinion of ex-
perts in the department, and might
well be more largely used as human
food-this inspite of the fact that it
is nine-tenths water. The argument
for economy is based on the price at
which il is usually sold and upon the
composition of the remaining tenth,
or the nutritive portion.
Whole milk, as everyone knows,
is an indispensable food for the
young, and even in the diet of the
adult it is comparatively economical.
The only nutrient taken from IL in
skimming is the butter fat. There
is left, therefore, in the skim milk
not only all of the sugar, which
amounts to about a " parts in every
100, and all of the mineral sub
stances, but also all of the protein.
The last named substance is impor-
tant because, besides serving as fuel
for the body, as fats, sugars, and
starches do, 1t also supplies nitro
genous tissue-building material. The
proportion of protein in skim milk,
as well as of the mineral constituents
which are also valuable for body
building. is even greater than in
whole milk.
Since the nutritive part of skiin
milk consists very largely of protein,
II is to be classed as whole milk is,
with such food materials as eggs,
meat. fish poultry, and cheese though
1t is much more delicate than those
foods, rather than with such sub
stances as sugar. which serve only as
fuel. Two and a half quarts Of skim
milk contain almost as much protein
and yield about the same amount Of
energy as a pound of beef. When
skim milk sells for 4 eggs a
quart, or about 2 cents a pound, and

make about 80 cakes.
In order to prepare the curd, take

too wet
If very sweet cake is liked, as
is the case in parts of South America.
where these cakes are well known
two cups of sugar may be used with
two cups of the cottage cheese and
four eggs.
In recommending skim milk as
food, the fact should always be kept
in mind that it has gone through one
more process in the course of its pre-
paration for family use than whole
milk has-that of separation or
skimming. This in the case of
food material so liable to become con-
taminated and to be the carrier of
disease is a very important matter.
and the consumer should take even
more pains than in buying whole
milk to know that 1t has been care
fully handled, particularly if it is to
be used raw.
The provisions of the Food and
Drug Act and common honesty re-
quire that skim milk should be sold
for what it is and never as whole
milk. 1t should be plainly labeled
as skim milk. To sell 1t as whole
milk would not only be a violation
of the Federal Food and Drug Act
in cases where the law applies, but
also a violation of the State law in
any State where 1t might be sold.

Business Laws Made by Minority

Business Laws Made by Minority.
1t is an interesting fact, as shown
by F. C. Taylor, of st. Louis, in an
article reproduced in this issue of
the American Economist, that the
business laws which so seriously af-
fected business interests last year
were passed by representatives of
minority of the voters. Mr.. Taylor
demonstrates that sixty per cent of
the Congressional vote of the North
was against the Free-Trade policies
in 1910. 1912 and 1914. He declares
that when a 40 per cent. minority is
enabled to force an unacceptable in
dustrial policy on a 60 per cent ma
jority in an industrial community 1t
ruins confidence there. 1t puts bus
mess on the toboggan at once.
A table prepared by Mr.. Taylor
gives the percentage of people af-
fected by the Tariff and industrial
laws in the geographic sections North
and West and South, showing how
overwhelming was the vote against
the Frse-Trade policies.
