SWEDEN.

DR.. Sven Hedin, the Swedish explor-
er of Central Asia, writes:
AT the beginning of the war Eng
land announced that she must take
arms, not only in fulfillment of the
duties assumed in treaties. but also to
defend and rescue invaded Belgium.
England undertook the beautiful and
noble role of defender of the small ma
tons, Sweden is one Of the small ma
tions that enjoy this high protection.
And what are the advantages which
we owe so far to this protection?
Various breaches of our neutrality in
Swedish territory, the confiscation of
Swedish mails to and from America, as
well as Christmas packages from
Swedish-Americans to poor relations
in Sweden, the delay of Swedish tele-
grams to America, and, finally. an i'm

Industrial development in the Scan
dinavfan countries has resulted in
checking emigration from Sweden,
Norway and Denmark. Within the
last 20 years the Scandinavian coun-
tries, through the more extensive use
of water power. nearly trebled the
horsepower used in their industries.
AS a consequence the growing de-
mand for laborers was considerably
greater than the increase in popula-
ton. 1t is safe to assert that for a
long time after the war the Scandi-
navian industries will be kept busy
with orders from former beIligerents.

The BOND
BY HAROLD CARTER.

"Cheer up, my ladl You've had
your lesson, and if you've only learned
your lesson, 1t will be the best thing
that ever happened to you. No man
but can live down his past"
Harry Lawson looked up at the man
who was addressing him IN a hopeless
manner. Should he tell him? Why
not?
Since his release from the state PEN
itentiary, where he had served the
greater part Of seven years SEN
tence, Lawson had been living at a
cheap hotel, a huge place put up for
the poor. There, while his remnants
Of money lasted, he had stayed, plan
ming burglary which might bring
him in enough to start his criminal
career with full equipment. There,
too, John Mannering, the clergyman
noted for his social work. had found
him. The two had become fast
friends. Mannering had been at
tracted by the young man, and soon
had from him the story of his past
life-all save one thing.
Lawson had been married. Most
crooks are. They have the natural
human instincts, the same as us hon
est folks. Besides, any of US honest
folks may become crook some day.
1t is largely matter of circumstances
and environment.

whose turn 1t was. She was so ac-
customed to me that she would alight
on my finger while she fed the young
ster.
AS the birdlings grew, they tried
each to get the bigger share of the
food. One day the one that had been
fed on the previous trip jostled his

his own mouth toward the coveted

WHY MILK REFLECTS LIGHT
Consisting Of Minute DropIets Of Fat.
u Throws Back Rays In Every
Direction.

One is often apt to forget that color
Is merely reflection of light, and
that anything which reflects light per
fectIy will be the color of that light.
The most nearly perfect form to re-
fleet is sphere. The moon is bright
because it reflects the sun. The earth
Is bright for the same reason, as one
can see at the time of new moon,
when the part of the moon hidden
from the sun by the earth shines faint
ly from reflected earth light.
Milk is like a collection of moons.
1t is a liquid filled with minute drop
let's of fat, each of them a perfect
sphere. When the light strikes these,
1t Is reflected at every angle, reflect
ed on to other droplets of fat and by
them reflected on and on, until from
every point In the milk the white light
that strikes on the outside is re-
fected.
Think of marbles made of looking
glass, but SO small that several thou
sand could be put on the head of a
pin, and you will see the reason for
the reflection, or the white color of
milk.
When, in the case Of milk. the num-
Der Of these little rejecting drops
grows smaller. then the light is not re-
fiected SO much, and the liquid grows
more transparent. Absence of full re-
Election makes milk less white, or, in
a sense, more blush. as the semitrans-

TRACED TO BEN FRANKLIN
Revolutionary Sage Said to Have Been
the Pioneer In Campaigns for
Public Health.

It has been mentioned as an inter
esting fact that the success of cam
paigns for public health from time
to time have been largely due to the
facility Of leaders in putting their
thought into epigrams. Franklin was
pioneer with his Public health is
public wealth"
Disraen coined the phrase, 1.-THE
care Of the public is the first duty of
statesman" and Gladstone said
I'm the health of the people lies the
strength of the nation"
Our modern Swat the fly" and BAT
the rat" are briefly characteristic of
the time and probably more effective
than their more elegant predecessors.
The latest claimant to popular favor
seems to be 1.-THE health and happi-
ness of the people are paramount to
every ISSUE" This epigram has been
done into 5 button to be carried in
lapels.
