HOME PROBLEMS OF
THE farmers Wife
Rural Women Are Advised They Must
Turn to Power Machinery, for
Benefit of Babies.

Milwaukee, Wis. Oct. 21.-Home
problems of the rural woman in rela
ito nto the health of her family, were
discussed by Elizabeth Kelley of the
University of Wisconsin at the session
on rural communities at the seventh
annual meeting of the American AS
ISOLATION for Study and Prevention of
Infant Mortality at Milwaukee today.
She called attentio INTO the fact that
though the country is the best place
from the standpoint of health, in
whlc hto bring up children, it is clear
~ shown b ythe mortality records that
the death rate among infants from
birth to one year is greater in the
country than it is in many large cit
les.
"This," she said, "is mainly due to
causes: Poor grade of country doctors,
lack of nurses and lack of domestic
help. The farm woman is an indis
pensable part of the farm establish,
ment. The home is the only commits
sary department on the farm. When
the farm woman is incapacitated the
running order of the farm plant breaks
down at its most important point. It
naturally follows that the farm wife
feels she must be absent from her post
not more than three or four days at
the time of childbirth. When she re-
sumes her household duties after this
absence she finds so muc hto be done
that she works beyond her strength
and lessons the supply of milk so that
1T becomes necessary to artificially
feed the child partly or wholly.
1.-The remedy for the first two caus-
ess-namely, poor physicians and lack
OF nurses lies wit hthe medical profess
sion, but the last, teaching the moth
er how to mare for herslf before and
after child birth is the province of
home economics.
The farm woman can no more rem
edy the lack of domestic help than the
farmer can remedy the lack of hands
on the farm. Like him, she must turn
to power machinery to solve her prob
lens. The husband has the seeder.
the planter, the cultivator, the mower,
the repaer, all run by power, SO the
wife must have first, running water in

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
Great INSTRUMENTATION Society
Has Branches in All Countries.

There is no organization among
the churches of the world that has
done so much for the develc D.
ment Of the young life of the church
as Christian Endeavor. 1t was born
as result of great revival and has
always done its best work in this di-
rection. One Of the strongest features
Of this organization is the interde-
nominational plank in it's platform.
1t has been adopted as the official
young peoples organization by more
than 80 denominations and now num-
bers it's followers by the millions. In
every country wherever it has gone
it has succeeded in bringing new life
and responsiveness in the church.
Pastors thank God for it's touch and
all rejoice that it has arrived. All OF
the great denominations are represent
ed in it. and the Young people are
ever keenly alive to the tremendous
opportunities that come thru its doors.
1t has sent IT'S best into the ministry
and to the missionary field and re-
joices for the privilege accorded IN
this direction. In the great conven-
! lions there is never question asked
as to what church member belongs,
! but always the badge is the introduc-
ton to another member. Recently
| the greatest strides in Christian En-
deavor has been made in the beautiful
Southland. Here more new societies
have been organized in a short time
than in any other section of the
country or world, except far-away
India. In the present campaign Tor
millions, the results achieved have far
surpassed anything that was at flrst
thought of. 1t has declared itself for
"A Saloonless Nation by 1920" and.
| nlease God, it will be here before
that time. It started with the motto.
',The World for Christ and thru all
the years of it's existence it mas
pressed steadily toward the goal. It's
members are bound together by
pledge which has the highest ideals,
no stronger than any one takes When
thew mite with the church, yet
strong enough to hold the young Ire
fast to Christ and to the higest Ideals
of the Christian life The great Won
der is. that not every church in the
country has not given this organlza-
ton a trial in its own neighborhoo,u
and see for themselves what God Will
do when He is given hold OF conse-
Grated young men and women.
What the society stands for IS app.
" represented by one of the great
notices of the organization. namely
FOR Christ and the Church" For
Christ first. as the leader and say
ior and then the church, your own
church. 1t insists upon church 10y
atty. to the church to which you oe-
long and to which YOU have given
your life and talents. 1t is great
means to an end, SO wonderful ana
glorious that to watch even the faint
est vision is the greatest inspiration
for future endeavor in your church
life. A..
Let all the churches awake to the
splendid opportunity presented by
Christian :Endeavor, fall into line
with the procession that marches to
victory and unite in singing the
praises of Him who hath called US
out of darkness into the glorious light
and beauty of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ

SYNOPSIS.

After stealing the Omber jewels and the
Huysman war plans in London Michael
Lanyard returns to Troyon's. a Paris inn
for the first time in many years because
he thinks Roddy, a Scotland Yard man,
is on his trail. Lanyard dresses and goes
out leaving Roddy snoring in the next
room, then comes back stealthily, to find
in his room Mile. Bannon. In the apart
ment near the Trocadero he finds an in
vitation from The Pack to the Lone Wolf
to join them. Lanyard attempts to dis
pose of the Omber jewels, but finds that
The Pack has forbidden the buyers to
deal with him. He meets The Pack, but
refuses alliance with them. On his re-
turn to his room he is attacked in the
dark, but knocks out his assailant. He dis
covers that Roddy has been murdered in
his bed and starts to leave the house. In
the corridor he encounters Lucia Bannon,
who insists on leaving with him. Having
no money Lucia is obliged to take refuge
with Lanyard in the studio of an absent
artist friend of his. He locks her in a
room alone. After sleep Lanyard finds
his viewpoint changed. He tells Lucia
who he is. Mutual confessions follow,
She is Lucy Shannon, not Bannon, and
has been used as a tool by Bannon. the
crook. The American murderer of Roddy
was Bannon's secretary. Lucy agrees to

The City Of Alexander the Great

products retail as fancy fresh eggs
This large yearly turnover gives
Egypt an intimate relationship with
the Englishman's breakfast table.
Dinocrates of Rhodes, architect and
friend to the famous Macedonian, laid
out Alexandria. He planned the city
as an affair of right angles and sharp
corners, including the whole in a
parallelogram quadrisected by two
main thoroughfares. This regularity
of city plan that Dinocrates developed
was the beginning of the school of
gridiron city building, of the imper-
sonal, strictly business city only now
waning in popularity.
The exotic Grecian city was a bat
tleground from the start. The East
and the West met and fought out
their differences to a finish there.
Greek learning and Greek philosophy
found refuge in Alexandria, and there
antagonized, and finally blended with,
the PHILOSOPHERS Of the East. Chris
tianity and Paganism fought some of
their most bitter battles there; and
the Jews, the Christians, the Pan
thesis and the philosophers fomented
many bloody riots, in which the tickle,
violent, loot-hungry Alexandrian mob
ragged in unforgettable religious tu-
mults. In one such tumult the sur
p~assingly beautiful pagan priestess,
Hypatia, was torn to pieces to glut a
british ~populace.
The famous Alexandrian library
was the bridge between the culture OF
classic Greece and the cultural needs
of early Christian and Mohammedan
Europe. Much Of its treasures fl.
tered through to the Moors and to the
Christians through the scholarship OF
Rome. The library was destroyed in
the war flood, which followed the rise
Of the religion from the desert; and
the burning Of the great book treas
ury has been keenly deplored by
scholars Of each generation succeed
ing.
In the latter years of the eighteenth
century the city was held by the
French. 1t had sunk to the status o.
a small village under centuries o.
Mohammedan misrule, having a popu
lation Of less than 1000. Under Mo
manned Ali, the wise and cunning AL
bantam, 1t regained much of its pros
perity. English control Of the city,
as well as Egypt's, welfare, dates from
1882, since which date a new cit,
has been developed, and one that bear
a greater degree Of Relationship to tn,
West than to the East.

CHAPTER XIV.
Surprise.

A Surprise.
He had gone but a block when the
window at his back was lowered and
his fare observed pleasantly:
"That you, Lanyard?"
The adventurer hesitated an in
slant; then, without looking round, re-
sponded:
"Wertheimer, eh?"
"Right-o! The old man had me
puzzled for a minute with his silly
chatting. Stupid of me, too, because
we'd just been talking about you"
"Had you, though"
Rather. Hadn't you better take me
where we can have a quiet little talk?"
I'm not conscious Of the neces-

ooh, I say!" Wertheimer protested
amiably. Don't be SO rotten shirty,

With brief hesitation Lanyard said

Thanks -no," Lanyard objected
dryly. "If I must confabulate with

But it was evident that Wertheimer
didn't mean to permit himself to be

Wertheimer gave him THE number

His rooms in the Rue Vernet proved
to be a small ground-fioor apartment
with private entrance to the street.

p
Il fancy you're right" Lanyard saie
carelessly, following. as Wertheimer
turned up the lights. into a modest
salon, cozily furnished. "You live here
alone. I understand"
"Quite-make yourself perfectly at

Englishman added with a laugh, do

Again the Englishman laughed u
affectedly as, turning to a side-table,
he fetched a decanter. glasses, bottled
soda, a box Of cigarettes, and placed
them on a stand within Lanyard's
reach.
With all the ease and courtesy of a

he said with a twinkle, ''but-chin-

tied it at a draft.
Muttering formally, at a disadvan-
tage and resenting it, Lanyard drank
with less enthusiasm, if without mis-
givings.
Wertheimer selected a cigarette and
lighted it at leisure.
WELL" he said, smiling through a
cloud Of smoke. II think we're fairly
on our way to an understanding, con-
sidering that you told me to go to
hell when last we met!"
His spirit was irresistible. In spite
of himself Lanyard returned the
smile. II never knew a man to take
it with better grace" he said, lighting
his own cigarette.
Resent it! l liked it-you gave us
precisely what we asked for"
"Then," demanded Lanyard gravely,
eff that's your viewpoint, if you're de-
cent enough to see it that way-what

sha'n't tell about that. But I'm hoping
to be able to run home for an occa-
sional weekend without stirring up
trouble. Why not go along with me
some time?"
Lanyard shook his head.
"Come!" the Englishman rallied him.
Don't put IN so much side. I'm not
bad company. Why not be sociable
