Humiliation" h It was even being
discussed. He predicted that the EN-
barge bill would fall.
IT do not expect to see the proposed
embargo measure get far" said Senator
Borah. at seems unlikely that any one
would seriously propose an embargo on
food products and exempt clothing. Fur
thermore, while We still profess 10 be a
Christian nation we o hardly PUT
an embargo on food products to decrease
the cost of living and continue to ship
arms and ammunitions to increase our
profits. BY tho time the measure should
include enough items to Civ IT q re-
spectacle number Of votes II would
break down Of its " weight.
Laboeing Mans Interest.
II do not believe an embargo would
reach tina high cost Of living except on
the theory that Il might ultimately pro-
duce Industrial ruin. The last man In
this country who should want an en-
barge Is the lAbovinG man.
Now as to feeding and caring Tor
those who may be IN want 1t seems to
me thai In view Of the stupendous pronts
which we have made out OF this war.
while others were sacrificing everything
that II We should fail as a people to go
down in our pockets and to feed and
clothe the hungry during this coming
winter II would be the final proof that
the last ounce OF conscience had been
eaten away by our Unsuitable passion
for profits.
Yes, let's feed America, but let's dc

The parties concerned. Mr.. Oiney says.
are first. the states granting the exist

ONLY A MOUSE IN THE CREAM
The Butter Tasted Just as Good to
the Woman, and She Didn't
Recognize II.

Some years ago, when Thomas l..
Calvert, chief inspector of the Ohio
dairy and food department. was run
ming a general store in q country
town, a woman came into the store
with a small quantity of butter which
she wanted to SELL
1--WE made this for our own use
but we found that a mouse had run
through the cream, SO we decided to
sell It," she said you know, it will
make no difference just so the per-
son who eats the butter does not know
that the mouse was in the cream"
she added.
Mr. Calvert bought the butter, pad
died it into different shape and put
1t away in a cool place in the rear of
the store. Two days later the woman
came back to the store to buy some
butter. Mr. Calvert sold her the but
ter he had bought from her. He had
bought it for that very reason, intend
ing to teach the woman a lesson. The
next time the woman came to the store
she told Mr.. Calvert that the butter he
had sold her was of fine quality, and
she asked where he got it.
1T was what you sold me; you
know, you said that it would make
no difference if no one knew that the
mouse ran through the cream" Mr.
Calvert said.-Columbu CO., Dispatch.

NINE HAS PECULIAR VALUE
Great Variety Of Most Useful Products
Taken From the Ground In Yer
dlte, South Africa.

Situated In the beautiful Kaap val
ley, IN the jamestown district Of Bar
berton. fransvaal. there is a mine
known by the name OF Verdite. The
same was given to 1t on account Of
The peculiar greensboro found In the
mine, which is unknown in any other
part Of the globe. Articles Of jewelry
and ornaments are made of verdits,
and II has been called the lucky green
stone Of South Africa. This green
stone Is Q silicate Of magnesia, or
tale, cciored green by nature in the
course Of its formation. Other silicates
Of magnesia may be mentioned here;
peridote, serpentine, meerschaum and
steatite. The mine, or. rather, hill,
consists Of three varieties of tale,
green, white and black. But Pc
culiar fact Is that in the black tale
there is present pure gold. Some Of
the finest specimens Of gold-bearing
rock have been found at this mine.
Everyone knows that gold is found
In quartz, pyrites, or even in see
water, but scarcely ever has 1t been
mentioned IN books that gold exists
In tale. When the verdite rock has
gone through the ordinary process Of
crushing and the gold has been ex-
tracted, the waste Tor what is called
the shines from q gold mine) IL
used IN the manufacture Of soap,
grease. paint. paper, toilet powders,
gas Jets. electric insulators, crayons
and many other articles of everyday
use. In fact, one might say that
everything got from this mine can be
used for some commercial purpose.

% Some FERN Every Man Must Do
His ohars Toward the Progress
q the World.

Colonel Roosevelt says that those
who CLOAK their u1wilnngness to toll
apd endure" are timid and lazy. But
what would he say Of those who are
unwilling to toll and endure, and do
not cloak It? Perhaps he would say
that they are unjust to themselves and
to others, counting unhappiness for
themselves. and seeking to extend 1t
to others. II 90, he would not be far
wrong
The person who il unwilling to toll
and endure does not properly belong
In this world. for happily this is
world of work. He ought to go hence
or reform. Work 10, in itself, not .
thing to complain Of; rather is It some
thing to be Joyous about. OF course,
the conditions of work may be I'M
pleasant and the task before us may
be distasteful. But the character Of
the task Is generally OF our own choos-
Ing and we are unfortunate II we have
made . poor selection. Loving some
work, the effort should be to get into
the work we love. AS for working con-
ditions, they also are sometimes Of
our own making; and where they are
not, they are always subject to cor
rection- Work Is the discipline that
makes character; loving ones work is
the JOY of living. OF all mortals, we
can conceive Of none more unhappy
than those who are unwilling to toll
and endure and try to hide their un-
willingness.-Colum Evening Dis

Air We Breathe.

Secondhand air is far worse than a
secondhand toothbrush, yet many per-
sons who would be Mortified at the
use of the latter are willing to inhale
the air exhaled from other peoples
lungs.
The Importance of good ventilation,
where several people are sitting, can
not be over-emphasized. In prevail
ing air, remember that if two gas jets
are burning they are consuming as
much good air as four persons, and
one kerosene lamp consumes the same
amount. A lamp left with the fame
turned down adds very much to the
impurity of the air because of imper-
feet combustion. If you use gas
droplight and will remove the tubing
for test, you readily see from the
odor Of gas which escapes how neces-
sary 1t is to take it down frequently
and air 1t.

Flour Is Explosive.

During the last ten years, about
twenty explosions have occurred in
cereal, -four and feed mills, with the
loss of two million dollars worth of
property, as well as the killing or in
juring Of over 200 employees. Inves-
legations regarding the causes of these
explosions and subsequent fires have
not proved conclusively what are the
difficulties to be avoided. In eight
cases the explosions are believed to
have originated from the sparks pro-
duced in the machines during the
grinding process. Tiny particles of
gravel or metallic substances coming
into contact with the plates of the
machine may produce enough sparks
to ignite the dust within the machine.
Another possible cause for cereal
dust explosions suggested is the use
of naked fames.-Popular Science

ooldlseo on Service In France In.
tfaneod BY Tristan" From . Tar.
tAn-Clad Private.

A train Of, say eight hundred men
made up Of small parties OF twenties
and thirties for the various units came
into the railhead Just as the light was
beginning to show over beyond the
river and make the cypress trees stand
out In silhouette. The men were rath.
or drowsy; not many Of them looked
out OF the windows; . few got out to
stretch their legs.
The railway transport officer was
very busy sorting the men. Then.
away down at the rear of the train, he
heard a mans voice, family at first,
but as the engine ran of to the shed
and things became Quieter he could
hear 1t quite distinctly. He walked
In the direction Of the singing, and,
getting nearer, recognized the song,
Kurnevai's song from Tristan and
Isolde"
A small crowd Of English Tommies
surrounded the rear brake van. On
the roof stood . private in tho Black
Watch tartan, his tunic open at the
neck, his bonnet set far back on his
head. and his kits swinging to the
rhythmic motion Of his body. He sang
God! how he sang. The crowd be-
came more dense; the French shutters
and porters came and listened. The
singer hardly paused at the end Of the
song; before the applause could COM
mence he had started again. This
time 1t was the "Toreador" from Car
men,"
The r. T. o. glanced at his watch;
It was nearly time to get the men on
board again. He looked at them. Each
one was looking up at the singer; in
the dull half light their eyes could
hardly be seen, but their expression
was intent. The song finished, the
crowd applauded as only Tommies can.
"It'b -" said q man. mentioning
the name Of famous singer.
"Ay. he's In OUT battalion" said an
