These people have been under water

TURN WORRY THOUGHTS
INTO WORK THOUGHT

Do you think straight through a
subject. or do you think under, above
or around it?
Thought is more precious than
money. Are you as careful of it as
you are of your purse?
That machine whose wheels are
grinding against each other, at the
same time rasping your nerves in the
street is wasting it's force. Here,
it is destroying itself.
When you worry that is what your
mind does. Then your worry thought
into work thought.
Too many persons think as a grass
hopper jumps, and arrive where he
arrives in winter. Too many others
think as the water spreads over a
swamp, without a channel, without
destination, without purpose.
We should think as a pathfinder
cuts his way through a jungle. AS
an arrow flies to its target. We
should make our thinking bear fruit
in action or in principle.

SUBSTITUTE FOR BREAD.
German Scientist Proves Value Of
Nutritious Yeast.

Berlin, Sept. Herman science
has found means which would make
further reduction of the bread RAJ
tions possible, If this step should be-
come necessary.
Prof. DR.. Max Schottelius of tho
University of Freiburg, Baden, ia
nous chemist, reports today that the
discovery of nutritious yeast is of in
calculable value. The professor made
extensive experiments on prisoners
in the workhouse at Freiburg, who
volunteered for this purpose, and he
states that the results were high
ly gratifying.
Ten of the prisoners, with their
consent, were given nutritious yeast
during four weeks to ascertain how
far their bread rations could even
tually be decreased without endan-
gering their health and physical
strength.
The experiments were started with
doses of 1.05 ounces of yeast each
day. At the end of the first week
the prisoners did not feel hungry, al
though they were receiving % per
cent less bread than formerly. The
doses gradually were increased to
1.47, and finally to 3.5 ounces per
lay. At the end of the month the
prisoners were thoroughly examined
W a number of physicians. Five of
the men were found to have gained
more than 10 pounds in weight and
two more than five pounds. The
three others showed a slight decrease
in weight, but their physical cOndi-
ton also was perfect and they SEEM
ed to be more active mentally than
before the experiment.
During the same period 10 other
prisoners, who received the regu-
lar prison fare and the full bread ra-
lions, were also kept under observa-
ton. Their examination showed six
Of them lost weight, while two gain
ed slightly.
The experiments have now been
extended to the public kitchens in
different cities and here the same
good results are observed.
Nutritious yeast consists of dried
yeast cells and is brownish powder
resembling farina. 1t smells some
what like caramel, but is perfectly
tasteless and cannot be noticed in the
food prepared with it.

Lincoln,s Speech.

on a Sunday that Lincoln spent IN
New York City he visited a Sunday
School in the notorious region call
ed Five Points, and there made a
short address to the scholars. After
his return to Springfield, one OF his
neighbors, hearing of this, thought it
would be a good subject to banter
Lincoln about, and accordingly Wis
tied him for that purpose. The
neighbor was generally known as
Jim, just as Lincoln was called
ABE" The following account OF
his visit, quoted by MIR. Francis f.
Browne in his Everyday Life OF
Abraham Lincoln" shows that he did
not derive as much fun from the
"bantering" as he had expected.
He started for "Old Abe's" ONCE;
but, bursting open the door impulse

Why? Because she thinks right.
You dislike that person. You avoid
her. You are weakened and render
ed respondent by a conversation with
her. Why? Because she thinks
wrong. The chief difference between
people is not in the color of their
eyes, not in the slant of their feat
ures, not in the vigor or weakness of
their frames, but in the way they
think.
Few have the habit of thinking
their way through question. They
begin determinedly. even noisly, but
they wander off into by-paths and re-
turn to the main track in the heav-
ems, because they would oftener than
not, stray out of their orbits, into
tangents, and disturb the poise of the
neighboring planets.
A woman sits down to hem a towel
and she generally hens until she has
finished. If she dropped the towel
six or eight times to look out of the
window, to run upstairs, to look in
the mirror, or to read the morning
newspapers, observers would say she
was scatter-brained and would be
right. But like such towel hemming
is the too common habit of think
ing.
The world would be a far more
habitable and comfortable place If
we all cultivate the habit of consec-
utive thinking. If our thoughts
were all consecutive as mounting a
pair of stairs.
We should discipline our power of
thought. We should bride and sad
die it and guide it in the course we
wish to follow.
We hear that this man has turn
ed right about face and began a
new manner of life. We hear that
that woman has won to impute this
change of fortune to some change
of circumstances and environment.
1t is far more likely to have been
the result of an hour of hard, close.
determined thinking, and of arriv-
ing somewhere. The great epochs
OF our lives come from within. not
without. First thought, then reso-
luton, then action. then change.
Learn to think right. To think
right honestly. Don't let your
thoughts lie to you. They will try
it. To think right is to think di-
rectly, straight as a crow flies or an
arrow sings it's way through the
air.

After some entreaty Jim approach
ed Mr.. Lincoln and remarked, with
twinkle in his eye, well, Abe |
see you have been making a speech
to some Sunday School children.
How about it,"
"Sit down, Jim, and I'll tell you
all about it," And with that Lin
coin put his feet on the stove and be-
gan:
when Sunday morning came |
didn't know exactly what to do. Mr..
Washburne asked me where was
going. / told him 1 had nowhere
to go, and he proposed to take me
down to the Five Points Sunday
School to show me something worth
seeing. 1 was very much interested
in what | saw. Presently MIR. Pease
came up and spoke to Mr.. Wash
burne, who introduced me. Mr..
Pease wanted us to speak. Wash
burne spoke, and then l was urged
to speak. | told them l did not
know anything about talking to Sum
day schools, but Mr.. Pease said many
of the children were friendless and
homeless and that a few words
would do them good. Washburne
said l must talk. And so l rose to
know what to say. l remembered
that Mr.. Pease said they were home
less and friendless. and l thought of
the time when l had been pinched by
terrible poverty.
"And so | told them that l had
been poor; that l remembered when
my toes stuck out through my brok-
en- shoes in winter; when my arms
were out at the elbows; when l shiv-
cred with the cold. And l told them
there was one rule: that was, always
do the very best you can. told
them that / had always tried to do
the very best l could, and that if
they would follow that rule they
would get along somehow.
THAT was about what | said. And
when l got through, Mr.. Pease said
1t was just the thing they needed.
And when the school was dismissed
all the teachers came up and shook
hands with me and thanked me, al
though did not know that l had
been saying anything of any ac-
count; but the next morning l saw
my remarks noticed in the papers"
Just here Mr.. Lincoln put his hand
in his pocket and remarked that he
had never heard anything that touch
ed him as had the songs that those
children sang. With that he drew
forth a little book, saying that they
had given him one of the books from
which they sang. He began to read
a hymn with all the earnestness of
MS great soul III the lhiuuiO VI
the second verse his friend Jim felt a
choking in his throat and a tickling
in his nose. At the beginning of the
third verse he saw that the stranger
was weeping, and his own tears fell
fast. Turning toward Lincoln, who
was reading straight on, he saw the
great, binding tears in his eyes, so
that he could not possibly see the
pages. He was repeating the little
song from memory. How often he
had read it. or how long its sweet and
simple accents continued to rever-
bate through his soul, no one can
know.-Youths' Companion.

4. $. FORREST SERVICE ISSUES
STATEMENT ASKING THAT
CARE BE TAKEN.
FIRES AND ACCIDENTS
Blaze OFTEN Started by SpOrtsman's
Carelessness-ShOOt Man For
Bear.

washington, Sept. 1.-Emphasiz-
ing the destruction of property and
human life caused by careless hun
tiers, a warning issued by the Forest
Service urges all sportsmen on the
National Forests to use the greatest
possible care to prevent forest fires
and to avoid such accidents as the
one which caused the death of Forest
Ranger Clark on the Cabinet Nation
al Forest in Montana last year. Mr..
CLARK, it is said, was mistaken for a
bear by careless hunter who fired
without waiting to be sure what he
was shooting at. To show that such
accidents are not uncommon, the
warning quotes an estimate of the
Biological Survey that between $50
and 200 persons are annually killed
in hunting accidents in this country
and that this number is increasing.
Furthermore, it is stated, 10 per
cent of all the forest fires in the
National Forests are caused by care
Tess hunters and other campers.
The National Forests, it is pointed
out, contain the best hunting grounds
in the country. The number of game
animals is increasing on account OF
the protection from forest fires and
Illegal killing which is afforded by
Forest officers. On many OF the
Forests, deer, elk, mountain sheep
and other species are fairly plenti-
full, while small game is usually
abundant. Bear, mountain lion and
other predatory animals are found
on most of the Forests and the KILL
ing of these meat eaters is encourag-
ed because they prey on domestic
stock and the herbinorous game an
imals.
The value of the Forests for hunt
ing grounds depends largely upon
whether they are protected from fire,
saws the warning. Forest fires de-
stroy the range and breeding places
of the game and often kill large num-
hers of the animals themselves, while
a great many more are driven out OF
the country by the flames. Further
more streams flowing through burn
ed-oyer areas are subject to such eX-
IRENE variations of flow and are OF
ten chOked up with deposits of sedi-
nent that fish can not live in them.
Each year, it is stated, sees an in
crease in the numbers of persons VINO
visit the National Forests for hunting
and other recreation purposes. Ev-
ary effort is made to encourage this
use of the Forests. Maps showing
the recreation resources have been
issued and the trails built by the
rangers open up new country to Wis
itors.
% The best indication of mans tit
ness to be in the woods, the warning
uoints out. is the care which he shows
in handling firearms and fire. None
mt the most inexperienced tender
foot will shoot without getting
nlain view of his game, while the
man who lets his campfire escape or
who carelessly drops lighted match
or hot tobacco ashes betrays at once
his ignorance of the fundamental
principles of woodcraft. Such men,
saws the warming, should keep out OF
che woods.
