CHARITY PROVISIONS COST MORE
Local Society, However, Finds Small
Demand This Summer.

The provisions distributed this year
by the local Charity Organization So
ciety have cost about one-third more
than the same amount last year. Be-
cause of improved labor conditions
this year, however, the requests for
help from the city so far have not
been in excess of last year.
Individual contributions this year
have ranged all the way from 81 to
$50. A campaign will probably be
launched this fall for additional funds
in order to give as many persons as
possible an opportunity to contribute.
The amount of work which will have
to be done by the Charity Organiza-
ton Society will depend largely upon
labor conditions this fall, as hard
times always means a heavy drain on
The charity funds.

STAYERS At HOME

The majority of the people of this
country go through the hot months
without any vacation. The only rest
they get is in the evening when they
sit on the front porch and listen to
the crickets and night things make
noises. These, however. seem to be the
ones who enjoy a cool spot most.
These appear to be the real appreciat-
ors of a quiet hour.
Of course, there are a few people
who have the opportunity to travel.
who appreciate their advantage and
get a great deal of good from their eX-
periences. but most of them come
home after a trip complaining more
than ever about life and the discords
Of day. They are forever wanting
what they haven't and always turning

than that in which they are forced to
stay for short time. They don't seem
to care for home
Stayers-at-home know that the even
ing of a hot day will be comfortable.
or at least they hope it will be and so
trudge on through the sweating hours
with the dream OF cool breezes from
the dusty trees sweeter than the
breeZes are to the man who has wan
dered so much that he has lost the
fun of sprawling out on the lawn.
Try being a stayer-at-home for
while and see the enjoyment of
fifty-foot lot when the evening smiles
on it.

THE GOOD SOLDIER

The good soldier is the soldier who
is ready to perform any duty assign
ed to him. To be a good soldier one
need not be blOOdthirsty. he need not
be anxious to kill someone or be kill
ed. II is no more necessary that the
soldier should be ANXIOUS to fight
than that the fireman should be eager
for a fire. II is sufficient that SOL
der and fireman be ready TO make
any sacrifice required.
1t is no reflection on the courage
and loyalty of the fireman that the
people who employ him try to pre-
vent fires by encouraging the erec-
tion of fireproof buildings-nO fire
man feels offended if people prefer
a hotel of steel and concrete to a
hretrap structure. Neither is it a re-
Election on the patriotism of the sol
der TO try to avoid war. Peace
treaties are intended to prevent war
as fireproof buildings are intended to
prevent fire. One can appreciate the
service rendered BY both fireman and
soldier without desiring either a fire
or fight.-W. J. BRYAN.

Juvenile homes are rapidly filling up

advertisements offering counsel and

show that the majority of these bad

there.

was when | went there" continued
Mr.. Stephens. Then it was impos-
sible to get hearing from any but
the lower classes, and preaching in
the street was dangerous. Now re-
ligion pervades all classes; in fact,
my work is especially confined to the
higher class"

Women of Different Faith,

Women in China. as a rule, are
Buddhists, while men are of the Con-
fucian faith. This is due to the fact
that women seldom go to school
where Confucianism is taught.
The Chinese are not a niggardly
people. The rich in China are quite
as eXtravagant as the people of
America. The poorer classes econo-
miZe from necessity. For example
they cannot afford to eat meat. The
sorghum seed is the staple food of
the poor, as corn is in this country.
Millet is used to a great extent, and
it has been proved that it is more
nourishing than corn.
While Mr.. Stephens does purely
evangelistic work in Chefoo. Mrs. Ste
phens does Christian educational work
there. She is superintendent of a
school of $50 boys and in this way
reaches many homes The boys march
IN a body to church on Sundays. and
