VT Far Enlisted.

Boston, April II. Major Gen.
eral Wood, speaking at a meeting
of the American Cotton Waste
Exchange here today, says the
United States would not fulfill
its duty in this war until it had
sent men to the front. The meet
ing was called to raise funds to
equip a complete ambulance unit
for the Red Cross.
IF we are to be part of the
war" said General Wood, "our
men in our uniforms must be at
the front. 1t is no child's play.
We shall send living men and
bring them back dead-but never
until is this is done shall we full
fill our duty. r-
You are now standing behind
the allied lines and behind such
forces as we have afloat. There
is a long period of preparation
ahead OF us and the first step is
to back up the plan for universal
military service. You cannot let
somebody else do your job and
have a clear conscience. This re.
public has given everything in the
way Of opportunity and it has the
right to demand the service of it's
citizens.
"A voluntary service, however,
delightful i'll theory, is ridiculous
in practice. The universal system
treats all alike-rich or poor ma
tive born or newcomer. Only g.
600 men have been enlisted in two
weeks, and l leave it to you to
estimate how long it will take to
get an army of a million men.

The Reader.

The gift of reading is NOT very com
mon nor very generally understood.
1t consists, first of all, in a vast intel
lectual endOwment-a free grace, l
find l must call it-by which a man
rises to understand that he Is o
punctually right, nor those from whom
he differs absolutely wrong. He may
hold dOgmas, he may hold them pas
siOnately and he may know that Oth-
ers hold them but coldly, or hold them
differently, or hold them not at all.
Well, If he has the gift Of reading,
these others will be full of meat for
him. They will see the other side or
propositions and the other side of vir-
tues. He need not change his dogma
for that, he may change his reading
Of that dogma, and he. must supple
ment and correct his deductions from
it. "A human truth, which Is always
very much a lie, hides as much of life
as it displays. 1t Is. men who hold
another truth, pr as 1t seems to us,
perhaps, a dangerous lie, who can ex-
tend our restricted. field of knowledge,
and rouse our drowsy consciences.
Something. that seems quite new, or
that seems insolently false or danger
Gus, is the test of a reader. If he
tries to see what 1t means, what truth
excuses it. he has the gift, and let
him read. II he Is hurt or offended,
or exclaims upon his authors folly,
he had better take to the daily pa
pers he will never be a reader.-ROb-
ert Louis Stevenson.

for the car, and it may or may not
have a veil. AS n rule, it does have a
small veil, either of chiffon or coarse
meshed silk net.
The logical hat for the car Is snug
fitting and provided with a small brim,
which shades the eyes and gives be-
coming hues about the face. A veil.
just heavy enough to shield the eyes
from dust is also a graceful as well as
useful adjunct to the motor hat. The
most successful hat for the car Is a
twO-in-one affair that answers the pur-
poses of the traveller by rail as well
us those Of the motorist. and looks well
merely as a street hat.
The three hats pictured are of braid
and fabrics combined, flexible without
being fioppy, and having enough sup
port in the crowns to be shapely. They
are designs of specialists in motor hats
and each is provided with n small
elastic band, and the back, let In at
the base of the crown, that holds the
hat close to the head.

shades are favOrite colOrs for motor

II Is being more used for human food.
Vegetables are appetizers, for ex-
ample. the onion. garlic. chives, pars-
ley and celery. The woody fiber being
indigestible, serves as Il brush in the
%alimentary canal to. carry along all
waste and excite peristaltic action.
Vegetables, because of their bulk, sat
isfy hunger without o~ver-feeding. In
their service as a broom to the body.
they keep the system %cleansed, beau
tifying the complexion and removing
all waste that clogs the skin and pro-
duces sallow, muddy compilations.
The proper cooking o. vegetables is
another important thing to bear in
mind. All vegetables when cooked
should be put on to cook in boiling
water. Salt may be added to those
vegetables that are not tOughened by
It's use. for example, potatoes and 9th
er fibrOus root vegetables. TOOs long
cooking, especially of such delicately
favored vegetables, as asparagus will
dissolve the flavor and send 1t out with
steam, so both nourishment and flavor
will be lost. Leftover green vegeta-
bles, or in fact any kind of vegetable.
makes a good crean1 soup. Asparagus.
string beans, tomatoes In any form.
and celery with onion oil make most
delicious salads.
A garden containing all the crisp
vegetables used for salads and as,
many others as the space allows will
be a constant source of delight all the.
summer and fall. Pumpkins and
-squashes, as well as cucumbers and
melons will all climb on the back yard
fence and take up little room on the
ground. Planting beahs with corn
saves space and gives the beans some
thing to climb upon.
Tender young carrots cooked in as
little water as possible so that every
bit of the mineral matter is saved and
then served with butter, salt and a
grating of nutmeg with a dash of
lemon Juice is a most delicious vege-.

Seeking Permission.

Old John GargOyle lived only for
his garden. 1t was to him what n
growing son is to other men.
At the end of 1t stood a telephone
post, and the other morning GargOyle
watched with feelings Of horror a tele-
phone mechanic climb his back wall.
He descended into the garden. bring
ing with him about IA dozen loose
bricks, and fell full length into a bed
of sweet peas.
He picked himself up, dragged a
heavy ladder across a patch of lettuce
and dropped it into IA cucumber frame.
Then he took a short cut, In his hob
nailed boots, across some vacant beds
where many precious bulbs were In
termed.
Finally, after slipping over a clump
of priceless roses, he appeared under
the dining-rOom window, where Gar
goyle stood in speechless fury.
"'Scuse me, sir" he remarked, but
the telephone people are very particu-
lar about us t~respassing on private
ground where we have fixtures. Can

den, sir?"

MIDDLE AGE IS BEST PERIOD
Man Need Not Be Too Old at Forty
II He viii Make Himself More
Useful ~ He Grows Older.

Too old at forty! That Is a wall
that always goes up throughout the
country. But a writer In the Ameri-
can Magazine says 1t could be disre-
garded II people made themselves
more useful as they grew older. He
writes: -. :,
For. man to be too old at forty Is
not natural. Scientists tell us that
the life periods of man compare with
the life history of the race.
I'm most businesses and profess
siOns the period Of mature manhood
Is commonly the period of great skill.
The body still retains its elasticity;
previous training and acquired good
habits count In daily work; expert
ence o begins to return dividends.
The individual develops common
sense, conservation and elaboration.
He is less likely to be swayed by the
primitive emotions of younger life.
Well-laid plans mature; returns from
previous investments in time, labor
and money begin to come In.
But it Is during this period that
the competition of newer workers In
the same field begins to be felt. The
apprentices in the trades, and stu
dents in the schools begin to get Il
foothold in competition with the es-
tablished We ". And-what Is or
vital impOrtance-the beginner is Will
ing to work much cheaper than the
experienced man. Thus, experience
must guard against the under-cut.
ut is in this period that the great
est displacement occurs. The un-
progressive, the d%issipated, the timor-
Gus, are pushed aside to make room
for those having more enterprise"
