Never let up. When younger men, or
other men, come into your office, do
not depend on them to dig up the
story of your greatness. In many
cases they won't even know that such
a story exists. They will be really
impressed only by fresh exhibits of
your ability. You must begin with
them almost as if you had never
achieved anything. and convince them
day by day that you can do great
things. One new example of what
you can do is more convincing to your
new associates than a whole store

troubles. But these figures do not
happen to tell all of the horrible

Peach Dumpling-To one can of
sweetened canned peaces add cup OF

put the fruit in a granite kettle and
when it reaches the boiling point drop

baking powder biscuit dough. Cover
with close fitting lid and cook five
minutes; serve as soon as done. The
fruit and liquid make the sauce for the
dumplings. A favorite cold weather

FEDERAL CONTROL URGED.

Participation of the federal govern
ment through the United State public
health service in the study and control
of tuberculosis is nrged by resolution
just adoted by the National Associa-
ton for the Stud and Prevention of
tuberculosis. The National Associa-
ton roposes that by act of congress a
special division of tuberculosis be es-
tablished in the United States public
health service with an adequate appro-
priation. This division should be
manned by experts and should study
the tuberculosis problem from every
point of view and should, so far as
possible set up standards for the treat
ment and prevention of the disease
throughout the country. One of the
problems which it is proposed to study
first would be that of the INDECENT
migratory consumptive, particularly in
the health resorts of various parts of
the United States, such as California,
New Mexico, Colorado and Texas. An
other problem which it is proposed
should be studied is that relating to
the causes of tuberculosis. A bill in
troduced by Congressman Kent of
California in the house and by Senator
Norris of Nebraska IN the senate pro-
vides for some of the things which the
National Association asks for and also
for a federal subsidy to hospitals car
ing for nonresident consumptives.
Commenting on the resolution, Dr.
Charles ]. Hatfield, executive secre-
tary of the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis, says: I'm spite of the fact that
tuberculosis is costing the United
States from $5OO,OO0,OOO to $1,000
700 every year in lives lost, the
amount of money being spent annually
by all private and public agencies is
not much more than $2O.O00,OO0; and
while nationwide crusade to stamp
out tuberculosis has been organized
we are still ignorant of many of the
| factors that produce it. A few thou
sand dollars wisely spent in scientific
research under federal supervision will
secure results of inca1culable benefit
to this country

Her Husbands Friends.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Do you ever praise your husbands
friends? You, in this case, means
wives, of course, but as all women
are potential if not actual wives. 1
hope no woman will lay this article
aside merely because she isn't at pres
ent of the matrimonial estate.
AS for the men--well, 1 know all
husbands will prick up their ears
when they read that question, and
bachelors don't matter.
The great complaisance which the
average American husband shows in
permitting his wife to select the
friends with whom they shall spend
most of their leisure time, and in en-
PERTAINING and associating with her
family rather than his, is something
l have remarked upon before. 1
think it exists partly because in this
country q believe the opposite is true
abroad) the ties between a woman
and her family are stronger than those
between a man and his, and also be-
cause the American business man is so
absorbed in his business that he
leaves the arranging of all social re-
lationships to his wife.
But one aspect of this matter 1 do
not either like or understand. and
that is the antagonism the average
wife seems to feel for her husband S
his complaisance deserves some bet
ter return. And yet I know many
otherwise kind, thoughtful, unselfish
women who reward their husbands
! complaisance in entertaining and as
sociating with their friends by resent
| ing the rare occasions when he wants
to entertain his old-time friends.
Some Are Open in Their Dislike.
| Some openly express this dislike
others, while pretending to have nc
objection to their husbands friends
are always making deprecatory com
ments upon them; still others do not
even admit the dislike to themselves
but cannot keep it entirely out of theil
manner. There is no real gracious
ness in their welcome of the bachelor
friend; they cannot keep the atmos.
phere of constraint from being palp.
able, nor entirely conceal their relaxa
ton and relief when he is gone.
1t is a strange and unworthy kline
of jealousy, this resentment of theirs

If you were mine, the hills and plains
That seem today sere and dead
From weary months of cruel drouth,
Would smile like peoples after rains,
Or famished pilgrims, mamma fed;
While perfumes drifting from the south
Make earth and life seem more divine
If you were mine, if you were mine.
If you were mine, the stormy ways
My feet have trodden all these years
In shades like dim cathedral aisles
Where struggling sunbeams, flirting
play
Ger saints who pass in holy tears
The silence of the afterwhiles-
Would lead to vistas wide and fine
AS Wales of Peace-h you were mine.
If you were mine, the God who knows
The Utmost secrets of the heart.
Who marks the hour each wayside rose
Shall bloom, and fade, and fall apart;
Who notes the wounded sparrow's cry
And grieves when stricken spirits pine.
Would hear my faintest prayer or sigh
And smile on me-n you were mine.
