White Goods and Fingers

what is needed most?" you ask.
white goods and fingers" says Miss Spen-
Ger with e~pigrammatic curtness, I'VE want
all the linen, cotton, muslin we can get. 1t
doesn't matter what the stuff is-furniture
covers or. anything. What is not fit for
bandages or pads can be shredded up to
stuff fracture pillows with. Above all we
want old blankets-for flannel binders, you
know. And we want automobiles. If those
who want to help and cannot give their own
time and labor will send their automobile
for an hour or two a day they will be doing
splendid service. And then volunteers! We
need many, many more fingers and hands
and brains. There is so much to do, and
every hour the work grows. You see We do
not ask for money. What We want is cloth
and fngers-and the need is very, very
great"
The women's clubs and the church socie-
ties are doing a great deal in the way of col
lecting old linen and cotton, and the Sec
tons are sprlnging up all over the country,
but the cry from abroad is tragicaily loud
these days.

Save Seed Potatoes.

When digging potatoes, save
for seed the hills that please you.
Like produces like, and there is
no other way to determine which
potato will reproduce prol Fl C
crops. A hill with but a few po-
tatoes in it will generally repro
duce itself if you happen to Sc
lect seed from it next year while
the tubers are in the bin. By
the same token, when you plant
potatoes that you know came
from prolific hills, you may rea-
sonably expect to get more pota-
toes from them. 1t is the same
with corn. Seed from stalks that
produce two ears is likely to show
two ears to the stalk next year.
You cannot select such seed from
the crib. Two 7-inch ears to a
stalk beats one S-inch ear "all-
hollow" Select the seed corn
while gathering the crop this fall
if you want two ears to the stalk.

of them this year. While in the
office on Monday with the fruit,
he showed us something that was
also purple; but it wasn't plums.
1t was a frightfully bruised foot.
On Tuesday of last week, he at
tempted to get into his buggy at
Bert Hann's store, when the
horse started and threw him un-
der the vehicle. One wheel pass
ed over his groin hurting him
very much. His right foot then
caught between the spokes and
his leg was carried around to the
axle, thus locking the wheel.
He was dragged in this position
across the road on his back and
he is minus some skin on the
backbone. Fortunately no bones
were broken.

NUMBER 40
MORE HASTE LESS SPEED.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner Of Health.

More haste less speed" is a
venerable warning against misap-
piled energy. The summer sea-
son gives additional reason to con
slider the value of rational we'll
directed activity as opposed to
spurts of action.
The average city dweller re-
gardless of years is apt to scurry
about as if life depended upon
his catching particular train or
trolley. Rushing to and fro with
small consideration for those who
impede his progress, he will risk
life and limb to cross a street
thirty seconds sooner and then
gaze in a show window for ten
minutes.
All this is extremely wearing
on the nervous system and phys
ically exhausting. 1t easily be-
comes a habit and if continued
leads to loss of personal efficiency
A certain degree of deliberation
usually insures more thoughtful
and effective action and is better
from the health standpoint.
To progress at moderate speed
with due consideration for other
peoples rights of the road" re-
suits in benefits of no small value
Your physical machinery is far
more likely to successfully meet
emergencies if it is not continu-
ally running on high gear.
Then too there is much in our
daily round which he who runs
may not read. If we are to live
nationally and think broadly it is
well to make ones progress
through life at a moderate pace.
Your scurrying busybody is sell
fish even though it be uninten-
tional. To have an eye for other
peoples desires and ambitions and
a consideration for their ideals
may help US to achieve our own.
To live peacefully and to live
happily materially aid in main
tanning our physical health and
vice versa. Progress is not nee
essarily measured by rapidity of
action; consider the squirrel in
the revolving cage.
