sWEETEN UP LIFE BY PATIENCE
 AND SYMPATHY.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: wonder if you have nearly set your houses to rights and can spare a little time to yourselves so that you can be out of doors a while each day and enjoy the beauties of nature.
 My attention has been drawn to the fact that we acquire faults and form habits along lifess way that call forth in later life the expression which we often hear, that MT. or Mrs. So and So is very hard to live with. 1t is im- possible to please them, nothing is right, etc. We should realize that this stage is life is caused because they had in younger life acquired the habit of speaking i'll of others instead of finding something to praise and conn mend in ether peoples doings and ac- ticns.
 faults and bad habits which if amend ed would be better for us and for all with whom we mingle and hold inter- course.
 When accidents and nishaps occur for which we are responsible we are ready with many excuses for ourselves then why should not we have ready sympathy for others and make similar allowance for their mistakes as we do for our own?
 We should find something to praise instead of something to condemn, and encourage instead Of blaming. In dads way we can break ourselves of the bad habit of finding fault and picking f1awe in the way others perform their work and of speaking slightingIy of others
 It rests almost entirely with ones self when we are young to decide whether we become easier or harder to live with. as we grow older. It mat ters much to us which 1t is, for no one cares to live with a selfish and fault finding person; and those with such habits cannot enjoy later life if they are dependent on others. Such habits should be watched fol and repressed in children, for it is cas- fer to overcome them when young. but even if we are older when we dis. cover that unknown to ourselves we have acquired habits of selfishness ane fault finding. We must at once pui forth every effort to fight against anc subdue them.
 It is easier to see others faults ant ] errors than to see our own; bat w should examine ourselves occasional, and endeavor to see ourselves as oth. CTS see us.
 1 If we would follow and put int. 1 would find our time so well occupied l that there would be no time for us t, devote to the affairs of other peopIt which are nothing to us but tiresom, l gossip. sss - Don't waste your life in doubts an,
 fears. Spend yourself on the work be fore you, we'll assured that the rirh performance Of this hours duties vii be the best preparation for the hour or ages that follow.

Homer Rodeheaver has given permis- alnn for the publication of the most famous song used at the Sunday re- yivaL One woman wrote to The Jour There are many who would like to know and sing it, though they are un- AhIs to attend the Sunday meetings" 1" Here are the words of the song: Dn not wait until some deed of great ness you may do, DO not walt to shed your light afar, TD the many duties ever near'you now be true,
 Brighten the corner where you are.
 CHORUS: Brighten the corner where you are: Brighten the corner where lyou are; Someone far from harbor you may guide across the bar, Brighten the corner wherefyou are; lust above are clouded skies that you may help to clear, Let not narrow self your way debar, Tho into one heart alone may fall your song of cheer, Brighten the corner where you are.

 find a need,
 Here reflect the bright and morning star,
 Even from your humble hand the bread of life may feed, Brighten the corner where you are.

WEST VIRGINIA'S CRIME RECORD
GREATLY REDUCED UNDER
DRY LAW

Mr.. Fred 0. Blue, state tax commits
sioner of West Virginia, in a statement
just made public, says that in the two
years the prohibition law has been in
effect in that state, there has been a re-
duction of fifty per cent. in crime, and
seventy-fve per cent. in drunkenness.
Figures received in official reports
from more than fifty municipalities in
the state, show that the year before the
law went into effect, there were 1857
arrests, while during the first year after
the law was passed, this number was
reduced to 1886, and year following to
1857.

many for coal. Germany says you may

entente allies say you have all commodi-

only, but must give a written guarantee
that not an ounce of it will be turned
over to our enemies. Hence, Switzer-
land is in a dilemma.
Large numbers of noncombatants
from the war countries have fled to
Switzerland and a considerable portion
of these are without means and must be
cared for. Among these are many gyp-
sizes who have flooded in from all parts
of Europe. The Salvation Army has
fitted up large homes in Zurich and
Geneva, which are being used to house
these people"

HARDSHIPS OF WAR ON
SWITZERLAND

Colonel Sidney Gauntlet, of the Sal
walton Army, who has just arrived in
Chicago from Switzerland tells of the
hardships being suffered by that coun-
try because of the European War. He
says:
Switzerland is a small country of
three and half million souls made up
of French Swiss, German Swiss, and
Italian Swiss, these three languages be-
ing spoken. Though the country is
strictly neutral, sympathy naturally is
divided, according to the languages
spoken. Switzerland is in the awk-
ward predicament Of being hemmed in
on every side by belligerents, being sur
rounded by Germany, Austria, France
and Italy, and is largely dependent up
on the countries now at war for her i'm
ports.

American-made linen is as good as that
Of any other country.
In the United States, flax has been
raised almost exclusively for the seed
which is used to make linseed oil for
paints and varnishes. The straw is
burned, and used for fertilizer. Of
some 100000 acres of flax raised in
this country in 1915, the Department of
Agriculture estimates that but about
1000 acres were devoted to fiber.
Before the war, Russia was gradually
acquiring monopoly of the linen indus
try, owing to government aid and cheap
labor.
In the British Isles, France, Belgium,
the Netherlands, and Austria Hungary,
the production of flax had decreased.

I'M ANT NOTICE

Many places in the City there are
some obnoxious weeds that are allowed
to grow. These detract from the beauty
of our city and in many cases interfere
with persons walking on the sidewalks.
Let each one take an interest in seeing
that these are cut at once, so that the
nuisance will be abated.
If every one will take an interest in
this matter, it will add considerable to
the appearance of our city.
Respectfully,

NEED OF LINEN INDUSTRY IN
UNITED STATES

The high prices of linen and of the
flax fiber from which linen is made, has
drawn attention to the need of estab-
fishing real linen industry in this
country. The United States consumes
more linen than any other country in
the world.
Two problems must be solved before
success is assured. One is to discover
some artificial method of preparing the
flax straw for the spinner, and the other
is to convince the American public that
