BE KINDER TO YOURSELF
Women Are often Victims Of Nervous
ness Because They Don't Know
How to Relax.

One of the important things to know
In life. especially II you are a woman
is how to let yourself alone, writes
mary Carolyn Davies in the Mothers
Magazine The ability to relax, the
art OF being Judiciously lazy, the tact
10 let herself alone has saved many a
woman from a nervous breakdown.
We all know the housewife who nags
herself into such a state of conscien-
tiousness that she cannot rest. II she
lies down she is continually worrying
herself with thoughts of the work that
she Is ~neglecting.
Much of the blame for this state of
anairs lies at the doors of the moth
ers. The mistake is in their training
OF their children, especially their
daughters. They are taught from ear
Hest infancy to be kind to others. to
bear with them, to forgive them, to
help them; but from birth to death no
one ever tells them to be kind, also,
to themselves.
h woman who nags herself can
make herself more miserable than any.
one else possibly could. She can make
her life more of a nightmare than any
misfortune could possibly make 1t. II
such women could learn to be kinder
to themselves there is no doubt that
their own lives would be heightened;
and not only that, but the lives OF
those with whom they come In close
contact would be made far more pleas.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S DOUBLE

Most public men have doubles.

Sulzer of New York spoke to the dou

The sick rate in Russia has de-

the improvement-doubtless the great

the curious way in which the human

stimulus Of strong interests or emo

A MILLIONAIRE CLERK

Stephen T. Mather, millionaire,
has Q theory that there is a lot of
fun In doing things for other people
when one has done all that is neces-
sary for himself, and that no partic-

doing.
Hence Stephen T. Mather, million
aire. is a s2.750 employee Of Uncle
Sam. He likes his job, even II 1t does
not show up as very large In the pub

Mr.. Mather, becoming tired of
newspaper work after FIVE hard years
as a reporter in New York, broke into
business life and made his million or
SO as a manufacturer. Having got
all he needed and never having be-

came very active in trying to improve
social conditions in his home city OF
Chicago. And this brought him, in
February of this year, to appointment
as assistant to the secretary of the in

NOVEL USE FOR TELEPHONE
Surgeons Employ instrument to Deter
mine the Exact Location
Of Bullets.

War is a stimulus 10 science, and
this is reflected very strikingly in
matters pertaining to the relief OF
.he wounded. The search for and
extraction Of fragments of shells is
no simple matter, although surgical
endeavor has been facilitated by the
perfection of tie X-rays. But these
are insufficient. \ bullet may be
located speedily, but the difficulty
IS to ascertain its precise position by
the probe and lancet. AS result OF
study and investigation a simple and
effective method of discovery has
been perfected, which may be de-
scrlbed as telephoning for bullets.
Ordinary telephone receivers are
clamped over the surgeons head, one
wire being led to a carbon plate and
the second wound round the knife,
probe, needle, forceps or whatever
instrument is used. With this inn
plement the search is made. and di-
rectly it comes into contact with.
say, a bullet, a distinct click is
heard on the telephone. If the in
strument is rubbed across the sur
face of the buried object a rattle is
observed, and by following this clue
it is possible to withdraw the bullet
or fragment of metal The idea is
by no means new, inasmuch as it
was employed for the first time dur
ing the Boer war; but the present
campaign has served to bring it to
a high state of perfection.

GUIDE TO JAPAN.

Walk up five months, beginning
with January, turn sharply to your
right, and there is June.
June is noted for its roses and
honeymoons. There are more deso-
lated households in June, on account
Of outgoing brides, than at any other
time. Also more households where
mamma experiences a grand feeling
Of relief and papa hopes that now
expenses can be cut down.
To enjoy June properly, take an
early start. Begin to make your
plans about it in March. Get rid of
your moral courage, your character
and your regular business. Then,
grabbing all the money there is In
the cash drawer, enter June with
confidence and give yourself up to it
with the complete serenity of house
less irrcsponsibility.-Life.

MORE PRECIOUS THAN LIFE.

One American with the legion was
telling me of a zouave battalion that
was fighting in the same part of the
line with him, and at charge of
the zouayes the commandant sud
denly cried out, 'Lie down." as a
hail of German shells came over
them. They all dropped but one.
''Nom de Dieu, lie down! 7" the
lieutenant colonel called out, furi-
ously, to the one man.
This zouave tapped his large
pocket and called back to his chief:
"Mon colonel, | can't! I've got
a quart bottle full of wine in here
and it hasn't any cork in it."-Bos-

the question o. organization squaTeiy
before every farmer In this nation.
without organization the farmers can
neither help themselves nor be helped
by others and through organization
and systematic effort all things are
possible.
The farmers of the United States
contribute more and get less from
government than any other class of
business. Thoy have better securities
and pay a higher rate of interest
than any other line of industry. They
market more products and have less
to say in fixing the price than any
other business and they get more
political buncombe and less construc-
tive legislation than any other class
OF people. The farmers can only ac-
aufre such influence In business. in
government and in economies as will
enable them to share eQuitably the
fruits OF their labor through organiza-
tion and every farmer on American
soil who desires to help himself and
his fellow plowmen should rally
around the Union.
