Snals Are Easy to Raise
And Make Nutritious Food,
States a British Authority

"All snails are edible and nutritious"
said Canon Hershey in a book on Brit
ish land and fresh water mOlluscs, just
published. He goes on to say that
even the common garden snail, though
insipid, is as nOuriShing as calf'S foot
jelly.
There is a large white-shelled snail
called Helix pomatia that is commonly
eaten by connoisseurs in the south of
England, while all over France, Italy
and Spain several species are used
as food. In France there are many
small snail farms which yield a good
profit to their owners. In the French
and Italian quarters of New York
snails may be bought, either alive or
cooked, and at most of the French
restaurants they are served 'escargots
farcis' being the most usual form of
the dish.
Slails are easy to raise in large
quantities. They need lime for max
ing their Shells but they do not have
TO be fed, as they can find their own
food, which is the leaves of many
plants. They eat nothing else.

Why Soldiers Play Chess.

There is an increasing demand for
chess and draughtsmen in every hos
pital and nursing home for the wound
ed men from the front. Men who
are confined TO bed and who are,
perhaps, nervous wrecks from the din
of battle, find sOlace in a game of
chess. The reason is the men are so
fond OF chess and draughtS is mainly
because they enjoy the element OF
competition. Yet all the while the
game is quickly making their shat
tered nerves settle down again. A
mans spirit cannot be altered or
dampened by hardships, but his nerves
in most cases are broken up entirely,
and for those who are not strong
enough TO play billiards, tennis or
other strenuous games, chess and
draughtS prove as effective. Chess
originated in China, and Is the Oldest
methodical game in existence. The
first mandarin wanted new and
complicated game and invented chess,
the first game being played upon the
stone squares OF his palace.

Contraband Trick Detected

Rubber is by no means the only sub
stance which the opponents OF con-
traband tricks endeavor to get through.
Germany wants copper badly, and
there are always people trying to sup
ply her with il. Some of them hit up
on an ingenious plan which seemed to
promise certain success. Instead of be-
ing hidden In the ship. the copper was
clamped 10 her bottom. Apparently the
conslgners thoughtthat, however close
ly the British navy might search the
interior of a vessel, no one would have
sense enough 10 think of examining the
outside of her below the waterline.
But they had. One sailing vessel when
intercepted and overhauled was found
TO have n great quantity OF copper
fixed along her keel. Into harbor she
went and the copper was seized.

Better to Love.

Better To love while living,
And better than all that's said
To go with heart forgiving
The living before the dead.
For with the dead ii is peaceful,
And hearts can ache no more;
But with the living, they need you.
And their hunger is never Ger.
Better to love while singing.
And better than all that's sung
The love in sweet word winging
To wed with n heart that's young.
Eco words are an empty message,
And life is n sunless CLEAN
Without the passion that puppies
The Silvery valleys of dream.
Better 10 love while toiling.
And better all toll for this
The touch of n tender spirit.
The bloom of an answering kiss;
For the toll may tear us asunder.
And the care may batter and scar
But love with living wonder
Can battle the bitterest tear.

GOODS ON APPROVAL

1t is the custom with many firms to
send certain classes of goods TO their
customers homes on approval. If they
are not satisfactory the prospective
purchaser has the privilege Of ex-
changing them. Obviously it is impos-
sible for the salesman 10 know what
conditions are in the house where such
goods 90, who handles them and how
they are tried or examined. The pos
sibility of spreading communicable
disease is very real.
When new things go into home,
curiosity and interest is naturally
aroused in all the members of the fam
ify. Children and adults join in the
examination.
OF course where there are cases of
been reported and quarantined no
goods are delivered on approval. There
are often cases of disease, however, in
the early stages unrecognized or so
mild in form as TO make it seem I'M
necessary to call physician. Into
these homes merchandise is delivered
without question.
Modern craftsmanship is far removed
from the sharp barter of earlier days
and fair dealing and honest represen-
tatiOn are recognized as necessary
foundations for success. Sending
goods on approval however, is carry
ing things so far that il NAV result in
harm 10 the purchaser.
