FAMILY FETES TIGHTEN TIES
Advantage SHOULD Be Taken of Any
Anniversary That Makes Gather
ing Possible.

Little family fetes do much to
strengthen family affection. Take adj
vantage OF any occasion that may
prompt gathering of the family: let
not one Slip away unnoticed. Gradu-
ations, marriages, births, no event of
special interest should be neglected.
No anniversary is more personal than
birthday, be it in youth or old age.
Everybody likes to know that people
are glad he is here. In the companion-
ship of their friends, young folks are
forming ties that the coming years
will strengthen. And when the young
people help to celebrate the birthday
OF parent or elder person, they learn
thoughtfulness and unselfishness, and
ind happiness in making others happy.
AS the years fly by and life of joys
and sorrows is left behind, the aged
person looks eagerly forward to the
celebration of each coming birthday.
The fewer occasions like this one may
look forward to the more each ami
verSary means. One who has lived
many years has found how fleeting is
the joy in more material things and
has learned to value more and more
love, affection, and the good will that
comes from the heart. In these fam
lily fetes expense need not and should
not be considered. The simplest gift
selected with care, q flower, card, or
just a loving wish carries much that
makes the day happy. A letter or a
card to the absent one, to the boy
at the 'front.' Will be a sustaining pow
er for good when lonely, homesick or
forlorn. Let the absent one know he
is thought of and cared for. DO not
let the birthday of any loved one pass

chapter on Some Buildings Finished
and Happy Prospects Ahead. The par
agraph reads:
We have not yet heard of ground
being broken for the new hospital build
ing. The delay has been caused by re-
adjustment of plans to meet govern
ment requirements and all the necessary
red tape. 1t has been definitely de-
cided by the mission that the building
materials shall be of brick with stone
trimmings. DIR. Parker writes that the
first work will be upon the maternity
wing, and we expect any day to hear
that this is in progress. After insist
ing upon some changes of plan which
require an additional expense of about
$4,000, the Indian government has Civ
en- its approval and manifested this

To this $4,000 received from the gov

has been necessary for our executive
committee to authorize an additional
expense Of $4,000; $4,000 for changes
of plans in order to meet government

FROZEN LAKE CHAMPLAIN.
ALI People of World Could Find Place
on It's Surface

There are on this globe about ], 300
100000 inhabitants. Most of us, who
lack the sense of proportion, at the
mention Of this big number are apt to
speak of the "over-population Of
the world. Yet, if we spare a few mo-
ments' thought, we shall better know
what this represents. There is in my
studyr0om a geographic globe about
10 inches i'll diameter. On that sphere
there is marked little spot about the
size of point of pencil-at any rate,
so small as to make it impossible to
write the initials of its name -
Lake Champlain-upo it. Yet when
ever Lake Champlain freezes over there
IS good standing room for every one
of all the inhabitants of the earth, and
then this lake would be considerably
less crowded than some Of the busy
streets of New York. Indeed, strange
as it may sound, every one, young and
old. would find about one square ward
to stand upon. Nay, more, if the very
young and the old would please to stand
aside On the shores of the lake, the re
malndcr of the total inhabitants OF the
world could arrange a skating party
where there would be less crowding
than is seen on a busy winter day on
that skating pond in New York Cen
trail park.
Sketching this picture is like visual
izing the great tragedy of the human
race-the few people of this earth do
not begin to realize their immense op-
portunitieS and their unused resources
meanwhile, they have the insane feel
ing that the world is lover populated. =

ShinQle Roof a Menace.

The ordinary single roof is a ire
mendous fire hazard which is not full
ly appreciated by most persons. After
a Single has been exposed to the
weather for a time it becomes so in
flammable that it will burn as quick
ly as paper, and they are so light that
an ordinary wind will carry these burn
ing brands from one building to an
other some distance away. This was
clearly demonstrated at the conflagra-
ton which took place Il short time ago
at Paris, Ky. OF the total number of
LAO buildings destroyed, over 1000
had single roofs. Perhaps no more
convincing example of the danger in
the use of untreated wooden shingles
in closely built up community could
be found than that furnished by this
latest contlagration. Practically the
only residence in the path of the flames
which was but little damaged was
rooted with incombustib1e material. In
the reconstruction of the city the use
of wooden shingles without fire-retard-
ant treatment should be absolutely
prohibited.
