The Wife and
a Mans Wages

A very simple truth that does not
seem to get home to the average hus-
band is that the money which, as
wages, his employer pays to him is not
earned exclusively by him but by his
wife as well. Her part may not have
been as direct as his, but the fact that
he has been kept healthy and up to his
physical best is strong factor in his
efficiency. And this comes from the wife
at home in her provision for him and
her family. A mans efficiency in the
business world is absolutely in proper
tion as the atmosphere Of his home is
made for him: if he is fed on WHOLE
SOME FOOD he will work at his
highest efficiency: if he finds the atmos-
phere Of his home pleasant and stimu-
lating he goes forth to his work with
his energies alert and at their best.
A great assistance in accomplishing
these results is by using WHITE SAT-
IN Flour, which, by actual test, con.
tains more energy per ounce than any
other brand on the market.

Saving wood is a healthful and pleas
ing occupation which has gone out Of
vogue owing to the shortage of wood
and muscle.
When this country was young it pro
duced immense quantities OF wood
which people wished had grown some
where else. The principal product of
every farm was the tenacious scrub
oak, which had to be seized around the
meek by a stump puller and removed
by force. A cord of wood which had
shrunk foot on each end could be
bought for 50, and it became a ia
vorite pastime to exchange six feet OF
second growth hickory for a weekly

roosters on the editorial page the is

Wood grew so fast in those days that
there was a sawbuck in every home
Every right minded husband sawed the
wood for the family or saw to it that
somebody else did, which amounts t.

were as dull as lecture on the origin
of man, he would develop an appetite
which would not back away from a

Nowadays people saw just as much

on saving wood and doesn t count the
sticks in the pile.

As the investigation of the now ia

apace, but up to the present time no
evidence has been produced that would
fix upon any individual the crime of
stealing the stuff. This is unfortunate.
since it leaves both police officers and

without the public respect which men
in their positions should command. No
one can blame even an acknowledged

The Meddler has tried his best to
evolve some theory which would war
rant the belief that the liquor was
stolen without the knowledge of either
police officers or sheriffs, but he has
been unable to do so. The only other
assumption is that one or more of these
so-called arms of the law are living.
Unfortunately for the peace and dig

the belief held by nine out of every
ten persons who have given the case

belief remains in the public mind those

will find themselves hampered in their
work. As has been said before il is a
deplorable situation, and if those who
are responsible for it possessed the
slightest conception of what constitutes
good citizenship they would make 6
clean breast of the whole matter. with
out regard to consequences to them
selves.

Basing his opinion on this act, which
has not been amended or repealed, The

that they might not be held guilty of
taking it into the lookup.

AS matters stand now there are as
many opinions as to who took the io-

are keys to that institution, and since
1t is unreasonable to suppose that all
the key.owners are guilty it stands to
reason that some of them are being un.
justly suspected. They of all people

Advantage was taken by the designers of the experience gained from the sse of the French helmet or casque, and faults which had developed in the latter were remedied. The British helmet is round cap of the hardest steel, with narrow sIipn back and front, and designed with q much lower pitch than the Frencz type. It is perfectly smooth, having no fluting or projections for bullets or fragments of shrapnel to strika against. Ingenious devices have been employed to obtain both a good fit and comfortable one. Inside the dome ol the helmet are fixed a number of rub. Der studs, to take up the shock of the blow struck from any direction. They come between the helmet and its double lining oi felt and wadding. The wadding comes next to the head of the wearer and covers it closely. so that if bullet should penetrate the steel cap and infiict scalp wound the wad ding will act as dressing. The hel met is se0lred on the head by meana of 8 stout chin strap.

ISLAND OF cEPHALONIA PLAY
 THING OF THE POWERS.
Small Area of Land in ionian Sea Has Been for Centuries ShuttIecock in the Game of International
 Diplomacy.

The reported occupation of Cepha- lonia by French and British forces, for strategic purposes, marks another cycle in the strange history of this island in the Ionian sea, which mas played the role of shuttlecock in inter- national diplomacy for more than r. GOO years. Its unique story is told in the following bulletin issued by the National Geographic society.
 With an area about three times as great as that of Marthas Vineyard on the Massachusetts coast, Cepha- lonia is the largest of the seven lonlan islands. The origin of it's settlement is snrouded in the fascinating uncer- tainty of Homeric legend, but rom the year of it's surrender to the ho- mans, 1S0 B.

While there. being by chance able to render some slight service to Russian nobleman, and he knowing me to be very keen on good dogs, made me a present of very fine Russian setter of his own breeding. I kept the dog with me until ordered back to my ship and then took him aboard. We were some time cruising about, during which time, finding the dog unusually intelligent, taught him to do some things, among them the wigwag system of signaling, for which nature seemed to have quail fled him peculiarly with his magnifi- cent tail. He became very expert and would go forward and signal to me everything he saw, until he became the terror of the men.
 After some time we put in at the coast, and after having got a few days shore leave went for shooting trip up in the mountains. l was quite anx- ious to see what he would do on birds.

 The next change come in the elev- enth century. When William the Con- queror was engaged in establishing himself firmly in the British Isles, an other Norman, Robert Guiscard c'the resourceful'o, after conquering south ern Italy, sailed to the Ionian sea and captured several of the islands, preparatory to overthrowing the Greek empire. This remarkable adventurer died on the island of Cephalonia while engaged quelling revolt, at time when he seemed to have laid the foun- dations for Norman empire similar to that which William established in England.
 Following Robert Guiscard's inya- sion, Cephalonia passed in turn un- der the suzerainty of the princess of Tarentum, the five counts of Tocco, the republic of Venice, the ravaging corsairs of Greece and Naples. the Turks, the Spanish-Venetian allies, Venice again, France, the Russo-Turk- ish allies, the French and the British.
