T~HE following letter will prove of in
 terest to all lovers of animals and
 gives us another side of the mat
 ter from that which we have seen
 previously in the Corner:
 have just seen the talk on House hold Pets at the Table. I am an intense lover of all Gods creatures and feel as keenly in my way of thinking as you do in yours
 have always had cats and dogs in my home. and while they have never been allowed at the table or in the dining room during the meal, think that others have the right to bring them there if they wish l have dined at tables where the habits of people were as repulsive to me as the animals are to you and to some others
 '' In one home never accepted a second help, because the person who served the dish was sure to thrust the fork with which he had been eating into the meat or potatoes he served or if helping with spoon he assisted this with his own fork or spoon. Nothing Is more disgusting to me than to think of using utensil with which another has been eating, or to drink from the same cup. Yet ninety-nine out of every hundred persons resent one not caring to drink from their glasses or taste the food into which their forks or spoons have been put. I have heard such persons indignantly declare, am not poison!'
 In this article to which I refer you also said: T could tell tales of unmar- ricd women who seemed to spend upon dumb pets the devotion which they would perhaps have bestowed upon children if they had had them. and my contempt for temperaments which could content them selves with such objects of tenderness has >been mingled with pity for the loneliness of heart which had to satisfy itself with so poor a substitute for chill dren'
 "I have heard scores of people ex- press the same sentiments, but l have yet to see one of those people take in a home less little waif or give home to dumb, helpless animal. The woman with chill dren of her own seems to have no room in her heart or home for the children of others. A mothers love is selfish; she cares for her child because it is hers have not seen that her love for the chill dren of others is either innate or culti- vated There are some exceptions to this rule, but they are rare.
 You seem to overlook the fact that most unmarried women are in no position to bring up children; they have no home or income of their own. Many of them are in the position to care for one of Gods creatures, and that one does not mean the expense that child In the 4 home means. If one cannot do much, surely the little should be acceptable 4 As ye have done 1t unto the least of [ these ye have done it unto me applies to < Gods dumb creatures as well as to high CT beings.

 I regret to state that you did not in- close the signature to which you refer. If you find 1t and will send it to me will be glad to supply the address and thus give you the chance to pass along the magazines which have given you pleasure. Thank you for the recipe. As to the spots in the tablecloth, would recommend salts of lemon or dipping the stains into lemon juice, strewing salt thickly upon this. and laying the cloth in the sun. Repeat the application several times. Should this fail you might use oxalic acid, dipping the stains into this. but be careful to wash the cloth which has been touched by the acid in pure water in not more than ten minutes after the acid has been applied. It is powerful and will eat into the fabric if allowed to remain upon it too long.

EAR Corner friends, I am . ktI little girl II years of age and
 U there are nine other children
 besides me, so you see it is pret-
 ty hard for papa and mamma to keep us in clothing, as we are poor. So l am asking for little help if you will think it right to speak of it. What would like are some outgrown dresses. waists, underwear, or clothing of any kind for us children. We would be glad to get them and we would very much like some small pieces of ribbon for our hair. If I am asking too much please forgive Ime. Maybe I can help you some way in the future. E. R.'
 As the Corner knows. I am opposed to asking for clothing, even in such hard and bitter times as we are passing through this winter But this childs appeal touched me, as it is pretty sure to do every mother and print 1t on the chance that there may be hanging in some closet few of the outgrown dresses" or doubt that the 'small pieces of ribbon ] for the hair " will also be forthcoming. As almost always say when print such 5appeals as this, do not wish them to be ttaken as encouragement that can make 1 further requests along the same lines. Rarely, indeed. do feel justified in mak- ing such pleas and I must cease them Altogether if they open the door to in- discriminate seeking for such charity.

NOAH ATE FORBIDDEN FRUIT
He and Not Adam and Eve Was Re
sponsihle for Fall of Man.

Tt was not Adam and Eve who
brought about the fall of man, but
Noah, according to translation of a
tablet now IN the University of Penn
sylvania museum. \ statement to this
effect is made by a representative of
the university.
According to Sumerian theology
found on the tablet, which is said to
have been written before the days of
Abraham and translated by DIR. Steven
Langdon of Oxford university, Noah
was ordered not to eat of the cassia
tree in the Garden of Paradise, and
when he disobeyed the curse fell upon
him.
The curse was that he should have
i'll health and an early death instead
of living to be $4,000 years old like
his ancestors.
Dr. Langdon says that this tablet is
at least thoCsand years older than the
| Genesis account of the fall of man. Tho
tablet was written possibly 5000 Year.
| ago, and evidently records tradition
which goes back to the early history OF
man. The Babalonian and Sumerial
accounts place the flood at something
like $4,000 B. c.
| The lapse of time between the crea
ton and the flood is filled by 10 king
who reigned altogether 49,, 900 years.

UNABLE TO HAVE
LAW ENFORCED
Chief of Police Severance of Bellows
Falls Gets Evidence, but Grand
Juror Balgs, So IT'S Said.
(Special to The Reformer.)

FELLOWS FALLS, Aug. "a.
Far he If from Chief of Police w. S.
Severance to transgress the automobile
laws. The chief knows the automobile
laws and all their ramifcations because
he has been studying them. But he can
not enforce them. He is all tied up.
Acting on instructions from the board
of village trustees he began to watch
for infractions of the automobile laws
a short time. ago, and before he had
been watching 10 minutes he had an
eve full. Later he had q book full of
names and numbers. Then came the
time for arrests and "BiIl' went to
grand Juror, whose name has not been
disclosed, and asked for warrants. But
no warrants were forthcoming. So
there he was-names, numbers, evil
dence, but no means of bringing the
drivers into court. Somewhat dis
couraged he has been less keen about
watching automobiles, but he has not
vet transgressed the law himself
The chief is the proud possessOr of
a Ford and many afternoons and even
ings he drives about the streets in or
der to see what IS going on. But he
does not speed. lie keeps well within
the limit of 10 miles per hour and duti-
fully honks his horn at every intersec
ton of the highway and at every cross

er automobiles pass "Bill s. car anG
as they fly past, perhaps with malie
ious aforethought, their drivers blow
their horns. Some drivers have ever
challenged the chief to a try for speed
but he is not to S)e caught. He calmly
pursues his way at a rate which ever

Carranza Regards 1t as In
reference with Plans
Already Under Way
RECOGNITION WOULD
ADVANCE HIS PROGRAM
Says He Would Then Be in Position
to Receive Proposals from the Dissaf-
fected Elements for Cessation of
Warfare.

Ell PASO, Texas, Aug. 81. Car
rama s reply to the Pan-American
peace appeal was cabled from Vera
Cruz to Washington last night, the
Carranza agency here is informed.
Speaking for himself and all civil
and military officials in his govern
ment, Carranza rejects the Pan-Amcri-
can proposal, according to his agency,
on the ground that it constitutes an I'M
necessary interference with plans al
ready successfully under way to pacify
Mexico, and that it is made at a time
when the qualification program is adj
vanced to a point where the Villa
Zapata opposition has almost disinteg-
rated.
Carranza suggests, the agency as
serts, that the present program would
be advanced and not retarded by recog-
milton of his government by the United
States and the Latin-American coun,
tries. After being recognized, the Car
rama faction would be in a position tC
receive proposals from the disaffectet
| elements for a cessation of warfare
and it is understood that CarranZc
would not be adverse to according
amnesty to all but the chiefs of the op
position.
Carranza's reply is in similar tone
to that of the appeal to the Pan-Ameri
can NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and avoiding
offense
Information received here is tina
Carranza at first was thoroughly angr,
over the mere fact that the Pan-Ameri
can conference should send him note
but was much Modified when he receiy
led the communication itself.

Wars Effects In Labrador.

The far-reaching influences of the
present war are illustrated by the eff
feet it is having on the Indian and
half-breed trappers of Labrador and
Hudson bay, says an exchange. The
various companies which carry on the
traffic in pelts in this northern re-
gion are curtailing their operations,
and although steamers of the New
foundland sealing fleet will go north
in the coming summer, as In previous
years, to take supplies for the fur
trading posts and to embark the
stocks of furs and fish collected dur
ing the past twelve months, they will
carry much smaller quantities of trad
ing goods and provisions than hereto
fore. This policy is dictated by the
fact that since the war began valuable
furs have been a drug in the worlds
markets, and little prospect of any
betterment is foreshadowed until aft
er hostilities terminate and old-tme
conditions of prosperity revive.
