Eating Anything.

DR.. Lucy Barney Hall, in a letter to
the women of the Boston Business
league, said: You can eat anything
you are inclined to without injurious
effects" That is not true, unless one
is hale, hearty, robustious or has a
stomach inherited from a grandfather
who fought Indians back in the corn
bread and venison days. But most
stomachs are not Of this kind. We
took lunch with a gentleman the other
day who seems as rugged and healthy
as a big boy. and yet he took only hard
rolls, tea and custard pie, and then
scraped the custard out of the shell.
Another gentleman said he ate pie
every lunch for four days last week,
and on the fifth day he was laid up
for repairs, and then had to sober OF
on crackers and tea. Doctor Hall lie
wrong. A person must be careful OF
his eating. We are all constituted diff.
ferently, each one as different in his
stomach as in his clothes. II there lie
any rule that applies to all, and which
is of itself the best guaranty agains'
sickness. 1t is not to eat so much.

Rose Tree sloomed at Christmas.

A pretty story of a rose which
bloomed at Christmas in front of some
trenches occupied by a German regi-
ment of guards in France is told In
the Frankfurter Zeitung. The rose
bush was growing in a huge hole torn
by a shell in front of the guards
trenches. The little plant soon be-
came the Jealous care Of every man
of the company before whose trench
it grew. To their intense delight, on
Christmas eve the rose tree bloomed.
The company decided to send the rose
to the emperor. The kaiser was de-
lighted and promptly ordered the poet,
Richard Voss, to write a poem about
the incident. The poem has now
been printed, and a copy of it is to
be sent to every guardsman con-
cerned in the affair.

A longing to confess his passion
welled upward from his very soul, but
the words would not come.
""Darling!" he murmured.
But she did not hear him-she
thought he was swearing at the
weather.
Then courage came to him.
9" love you'll" he whispered, a little
louder. and, trembling at his own dar-

avowal.
Joy!-and all that sort of thing. Her

He silently took her little hand.

ELDERLY MAN "oFFICE BOY"

A Broadway business man was talk
ing to a friend who was looking for a
good office boy.

confidence, land get an old man who
Is willing to work for less than a
mans wages. l began it about a year
ago and / never did a better thing.
II got the suggestion from a man
not In business, but a physician. He
had ordered some article or other
which had not come promptly and he
zane In person to see about 1t. ]
told him, which was true, that I had
been bothered so by changing my Of
fee boys that I couldn't get 1t to him.
Then he blew out at me and asked
me why l didn't get an old mar to do
office boy work and l wouldn't have
any more bother.
1T looked SO different at first that
I laughed at him, but. he insisted so
that 1t was the only Ire that l con-
cluded l would try II. l knew of an
old chap. honest and living with his
son. doing small Jobs and helping all
he could for his keep, and I asked him
how he would like to be office boy for
me. He laughed just as l did at first,
but l insisted on his trying 1t and he
agreed to come and do the best he
could but wouldn't guarantee that he
would be satisfactory.
"He came the next day and though
he was a bit slow at first he was al
ways ready and willing and In a week
or 10 l was SO we'll satisfied with him
that l wouldn't have traded him for
all the boys l had been bothered with
for five years. He isn't perfect, nor
is anybody, for that matter, but he is
reliable and honest, never soldiers on
me. doesn't smoke cigarettes or read
dime novels, isn't fresh around the
store, is always polite and Is always
on time.
81 pay him 81 a week and he is glad
enough to get it. and he isn't SO old
but that he is good for at least ten
years of duty, which will also be ten
years Of comfort for me and the entire
store. l don't say that any old man
will be as satisfactory as this one, but

In the Woman's Home Companion

on the care of children entitled Your

the following story and gives some
good advice:
"A child's clothing Is a factor Of
very great Importance in the develop
ment Of his body and character. Last
summer at the seashore a mother
complained to me of her fo~ur-year-old
boy. Johnnie cannot keep his clothes
clean for five minutes!'
Il watched this little boy at play.
and though l saw the truth Of the
mothers complaint my ~sympathies
were decidedly with the little boy, be-
cause the person at fault was not the
child, but the mother. All that MORN
ing the little boy was harassed and
suppressed, as he probably had been
from his earliest childhood. by such
phrases as: Don't, Johnnie, you will
get your clothes dirty
Here was a child whose develop
ment was stunted and sacrificed for
the sake of his clothes. He had never
been given a chance to play freely.

things by the actual doing OF them.

parently well and strong, and bright

keeping cows comfortable in cold

feeding of carefully compounded ra-
tons, worked out under the most ap-

This plan provides foul-air shafts to

up to be disposed of by the metal ven-
tilators on the roof. Fresh air from
outdoors is supplied to the COWS by in

the fresh air is carried to the ceiling
