leach Children Thrift.

We Americans are VIGOROUSLY the
most thriftless of peoples. You have
heard how much we throw away. We
are too prone to think of thrift as stin-
giness. We hate to hear about saving.
Dorothy Garfield Fisher in her recent
book, self Reliance" gives parents a
strong word of warning. She says:
"There is nothing in the fact Of being
children which need cut off our sons
and daughters from a great deal of ac-
curate information and considerable
practical experience with the ms and
outs of wise money spending. But
there is great deal in the fact of their
being Americans which will shut them
off from such information and expert
ence unless parents make very deter
mined effort to see that they get the
proper training, for the whole spirit of
our country and age is against US in
the effort"

The Graham Bread Myth.

Most people suppose they are getting
more nutrition In graham or whole
wheat bread than they get In white
bread. Another mistake, says the Kan
sas City Star. This isn't a matter Of
guesswork, for there are elaborate ia
bles worked out after the most thor
ough experimentation In laboratories
and published, for instance, In DR.. E.
A. Locke's book on Food Values"
Roughly, food Is valued In accord
ance with its fuel contents, which is
figured In calories. A pound Of brown
bread contains about 1,O5O Galleries, q
pound Of rye bread 1,1S0, a pound Of
gluten bread LEO, a pound Of graham
bread 1,210, a pound Of whole wheat
bread LAO and a pound Of ordinary
white bread 1,215. The white bread
has more nourishment to the pound
than any other kind. The notion that
milling deprives 1t Of its nutriment Is
fiction.

A sSidereaI Day,S

In answering correspondent VINO
asked the meaning Of the term side
real time" the Irish Times explains
that that Is the only truly scientific
manner of recording time and is that
which astronomers and navigators use.
A "sidereal day" Is the precise time
taken by the earth in revolving on Its
axis and is twenty-three hours, fifty
six minutes and four seconds. Our
sundials, however. record a very DIFF
ferent day.
If YOU set up a sundial In garden
and observe when it is noon today and
again tomorrow you viii find that 1t
exceeds the "sidereal day" by three
minutes and fifty-six seconds. The
difference is due to the distance that
the earth has travelled on its orbit
while it has been revolving on its axis.
The orbit motion makes 1t necessary
for the earth to turn nearly four min
utes longer in order to bring any place
TO the same position with regard to
the sun that it had on the previous
day.

Fine Art In Candle Making.

The making Of candles Is not ordina-
rily considered a fine art, but the Ital-
ians have made 1t such. The distinc-
lively Italian votive taper is made BY
hand. The materials are pure bees
wax, which is kneaded and tempered
and mixed with a secret ingredient to
retard combustion and which has sps-
cial Egyptian cotton for wicks. The
cotton, too, is treated with chemicals
to keep it from feeding too fast. Small
candles are nodded. Large ones are
made by rolling up sheets Of wax.
That gives the candle great strength
and enables it to stand erect when q
nodded candle would bend under the
heat. After the candle Is fashioned it
goes to the decorators, men who are
skilled in the use Of the brush, and
when it leaves their hands 1t II work
