Women Melting Prejudice.

Fifty years ago trained nurses were unknown in this country. In 1873 cer- tain ladies of New York decided to es- tablish a school of nursing at Bellevue hospital. Mrs. Joseph Hobson, who was one of the founders. says in her book, "Recollections of a Happy Life: :"
 Strange to say, doctors were our chief antagonists, the doctors of the Bellevue medical board. Not all of them, by any means, but enough to hamper and hinder and add to our diff ficulties."
 The conservative doctors were es- pecially trying. We were ignorant women interfering with what was none of our business" and "they were utterly opposed to our in reference" A year later the same board passed a resolution heartily in dorsing the work.
 In the same way many Englishmen opposed Florence Nightingale; and at the beginning of the present war the offers of service from woman doctors were not accepted. Now women in England are being urged to take med. ical training.
 Before women take up any piece of work which up to that time has been done, well oY badly, by men, they are required to expend great part of their time, energy and money on get ting permission to try.-Woman's Jour- nal

FRIENDSHIP IS TRUE WEALTH
This Fact Was Recognized by Unusual Legacy Made in Win of Late
 Justice Lamar.

In the will of the late Justice Lamar of the United States Supreme court there was one very unusual legacy He bequeathed his friendships to his fam fly.
 ''To my family" the will runs, q be- queath friendships many and numerous in the hope that they will be cherished and continued. True friendships are the most valuable of our earthly posses sions, more precious than gold. more enduring than fame. As Henry Drummond has well said, Friendship is the nearest thing we know to what religion is ,"
 The family that inherits such wealth is truly rich, observes a writer in the Youths Companion. But it is legacy that must be used if it would be pre- served. Friendships cannot be locked away in safes or lent to historical ex- hibits and museums. Like love and faith and courage, they belong to that intangible treasure of the soul that must be kept from destruction by con- stant service. It is not alone material things that rust doth corrupt"
 How many of us have let slip through busy or careless fingers the beautiful and glowing friendships of our youth? We did not mean to do it; indeed, we have often regretted the loss until, as the years pass. the re. gret gradually fades away. And if that is true of our own friends, how far more true of our fathers friends! Yet there have been families where friend ships have passed down from father to son for several generations.
 There is food for thought here. How many fathers are building up fine and loyal and serviceable friendships that they can with pride and gratitude be. queath to their sons? How many moth. CTS are storing up like treasures for their daughters? The question does not end there. How many young peo- pie of today are fitting themselves to receive such legacies? How many in all the varied and urgent calls of life are needing the challenge to make themselves worthy of friendships by being loyal and fine tempered and gen. erous friends themselves?
 "A man that hath friends the old book of wisdom declares, must show himself friendly" ard again, Thine own friend and thy fathers friend for sake not

Had Their Tickets

Mary Ellen, the colored maid, had been carefully instructed by her new mistress in a number of things con. corning which she appeared to be pro foundly unenlightened. Particular stress had been laid upon the proper manner of receiving visitors and of informing the mistress of their pres ence in the house.
 Perhaps altogether to much had been said about it or perhaps Mary Ellen had stage fright at the crucial moment, for when the first callers came after Mary Ellen's advent into the family she ''ushered' them only as far as just inside the hall door. Taking the cards they gave her, and leaving the visitors standing there, she went to the foot of the staircase and shouted:
 "Mis' Gallatin! Oh, Mis- Galatin Der's two ladies down here dat's come to see you and dey's fotch dere tick. cts"

Dangers of Watered Coffee

Watered stock, watered milk, and watered coffee-the United States Gov ernment is carrying on a crusade to eliminate all three.
 Everyone knows about watered stock. Everyone has seen "blue milk" i" the combined efforts of COW and the old pump. But not everyone is on his guard against "watered coffee."
 That the United States Government realizes the danger of watered coffee is shown by the specifications for the United States Army supplies. These specifications say plainly:
 Coffee: roasts must be dry
 roasts, no water being permitted
 before, during or after the process
 of roasting"
 Water in coffee is a piece of dishon- esty praeticed by interruptions coffee roasters. They turn the hose on the coffee while it is being roasted, so that it won't lose weight, as coffee will, when properly roasted. In roast ing. coffee should lose about 16fo of it's weight. If it is watered it loses but 4qo. The difference. of course, is water, for which you pay coffee value.
 This is adulteration and nothing more. The water-logged coffee is rank and unhealthy. Of course, it is not honest to charge for coffee, and sell coffee beans soaked in water.
 A lot of watered coffee is being sold no doubt right in this town. It is more often met with in the lower priced grades of bulk coffee.
 AS coffee is such an important bev- craze, pure food authorities are ad- vising housewives to use the greatest care in selecting their coffee. The pure food experts say that the best way to avoid watered coffee is to buy some reliable packaged brand, roasted by a reputable coffee roaster as Arbuckle Brothers of New York.-Adv.

 The various administrative depart ments at Fort Logan H. Roots are uH- dergoing a thorough reorganization. According to orders issued, nine as sistants have been installed in the quartermaster's department under Capt. Kenneth P Williams. The cap tains in the officers reserve corps i1 the quartermaster's department have been assigned to the following branches of work:

 With a total of only about Is men confined in the hospital. and several of these as a result of accidents. Col. Lewis, commander of the hospital de partment of the training camp at Fort Roots, stated that the percentage of sickness is the lowest that he has even seen during his service with the army. The sick report at the present time is less than one per cent of the men in camp.
 Barring the accidents, the most se- rious of which occurred to Private E. Marshall Pendergast of the First Arkansas, which necessitated the ann putation of his foot by Maj. Cole. sur geon, the most frequent cause of sick ness is malaria Col. Lewis states that the camp site itself seems free from malaria, but that many of the men who came here for training had ma 1ara in their system when they ar rived.
 Col Lewis, Col J. B. Clayton, Maj. Cole and Capt. Lull are the four regu- lar army surgeons in charge of the camp hospital. Added to these to per form the hospital duties are three doc tors who enlisted in the reserve off cers' training camp and who are now at the hospital, Forest P. Baker, w. g. Culpepper and E. G.
