WORK ALWAYS is A BLESSING
To Do Something Useful With Hand
and Brain Plain Duty Of Every.
onA, Says Writer.

The call Is made today more than
ever before for the nation to speed up,
for men and women to settle down to
work In more serious way than ever
before. The call should be heard with
joy, for work has never been anything
else than Il blessing, declares a writ
er in the Milwaukee Journal. To work
to do something useful with hand and
brain Is the plain duty of everyone.
And it is not duty only; 1t should
be both pleasure and u satisfaction.
The man who is afraid to soil his
hands, to bend his back. cannot hope
1t is the idler who is looked down
upon, not the man who does honest
labor, though 1t be of the humber
kind.
Men and women who would be looked
up to in their community must be will
ing to serve, must take part proudly
in the work of the world. Now, more
than ever, are workers needed. No
one has right to be idle. The saying
that the world owes one living does
not pass. Everyone owes it to the
world to make living. Idleness, self
indulgence, taking 1t easy, is resented
by sensible, right-minded people.
The spirit Of humanity comes in It's
fullest measure to the worker. Idle
ness breeds selfishness, vice. "Satan
finds some mischief still for idle hands
to do" is not merely happy turn of
speech. 1t contains vital truth. The
one who honors his work will have
honor done him. The shirker is de-
spised. "He that can work." us Car
lyle said, sis born king"

Piercing the Clouds.

While write this telegram In
very peaceful French village, the
voices Of the haymakers are blurred
by the roll Of artillery as continuous
as an engine, says Beach Thomas in
the London Daily Mail. You might
think that the fine rain that Is begin
ming to fall was shaken down by the
vibration and nothing else. When on
such a day you stand at the center of
the thunder and see from behind a
great gun. as often 1 have seen with
naked eye, these blurred shells tower
Ing upwards, the impression is that a
raincloud Is actually pierced and pune
tured by the shell Itself as well al
shaken loose by vibration.

New Cooling Device.

A new means of keeping cool is an
electric fan which combines some of
the principles of a windmill with those
of IA water wheel. A cylindrical paddle
wheel rests In shallow semi-cylin-
drical tank Of water, which is cooled
by contact with small compartment
of Ice. A small electric fan is so
placed as to play on the paddle wheel.
The air current turns the wooden
wheel slowly, and passing between the
blades the air is cooled by contact with
microscopic particles of Icy water car
ried along by the wheel. This ma

WAR CASUALTIES ARE LESS
Reports From Leading BeilIgerents
indicate Steady Decline on the
Western Front.

Recent official figures indicate that
French casualties have declined stead
lily for some time. British reports,
though not reduced to an arithmetical
basis, point in the same direction, and
German claims suggest that experience
on that side Of the line is similar, the
Saturday Evening Post observes.
Increasingly, 1t seems. the western
fighting draws upon artillery; infantry
advances only when the way has been
carefully prepared by deluge Of
shells. The old expedient of sending
men against well-supported well-served
batteries appears to be falling pro-
gressively into disfavor. There are, of
course, no comprehensive figures; but
such evidence that comes to hand indi-
Gates decreasing mortality rate. Ger
tainly the claims from all three great
headquarters as to their own losses
bear that color.
The western front, In short, is doubt
less very far from being that mere
oioueh'SihouSS "hSh poPuiah iihuSihu-
ton has pictured it. Probably the
chances of survival there are now su-
perior to the ordinary chances of war |;
and this summers experience seems to
imply that with an increasing depend
ence on artillery the casualty rates will
decline.
War is not theatrical business in
which every position is defended to the
last man. 1t is largely like game of
chess. When the enemy's guns say
"Checkmate an intelligent command
er recognizes the situation and falls
back for new move.

Bretonne Soup.

Peel and chop two large onions, and
put them in stewpan with two ounces
of margarine and fry until q light
brown color. Then stir In one ounce
Of oatmeal and three ounces of haricOt
beans which have been soaked over
night In water. Now add six pints Of
water and half gill Of milk. Boil for
one and One-half hours, until the beans
are quite soft. Pass the soup through
a cOlander, return to the stewpan and
reheat. Add salt and pepper to taste
and about a tablespoonful Of grated
cheese and q sprinkling Of finely
chopped parsley; stir. Serve very hot.

A Handy Light.

A small flashlight will prove use
full to the housewife In many ways. In
looking In the oven to see II the baking
is browning properly flashlight will
prevent the necessity Of removing the
dish from the oven; also SO that the
light will fall on the cellar stair, and
perhaps save one q fall or misstep.
FLASHED In the apple or potato bin 1t
will often save the lighting Of lamp
or lantern. 1t will also reveal the con-
tents Of the canned fruit cupboard. It
will be useful when anything Is want
ed from the garnet or attic; II medi-
cine Is needed at night 1t will prevent
one from getting the wrong bottle from
the medicine shelf.

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Save suds for gardens and plants.
Count your clothespins, spoons,
knives, forks, towels, handkerchiefs
every week.
Save pieces of bread for puddings; !;
dry them well and they will never turn
moldy.
Keep tapes, threads and pieces of
various fabrics in separate bags, and
so save the time in looking for them.
A bit Of soap rubbed on the hinges
Of door will prevent squeaking.
If milk is used in mixing mustard
instead of water it will keep fresh for
several days.
To soften fruit jar rubbers. put am
mOnia in warm water and let them
stand in 1t for ten or twenty minutes.
To remove grease from silk, rub a
lump of wet magnesia over the spot,
allow it to dry and then brush off the
powder.
Don't depend upon extra heat when
you want water to boil quickly, but
add little salt to the water and watch
the gratifying results.
Never put salt into soup when cook
ing until 1t is skinned, as salt pre-
vents the skum from rising.
Sprinkle the clothes with. hot water.
They will iron more easily and have
smoother finish.

well and spread on platter to cool for
an hour or SO, then shape with spoon,

Clever Clerk.

Some of the cash grocery stores are
not overeager to make deliveries. They
figure that the customer can afford to
carry her purchase home herself, as
long as she makes a saving. says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. Several of
the stores have abolished deliveries al
together; others merely discourage
them. 1t was at one of these latter
that a clerk rather overstepped him
self the other day.
II want five pounds of potatoes"
said the customer.
ayes, ma'am. You'll take them with
you?"
"Why, yes, II you think 1t won't
make too heavy a package"
"Oh, no, ma'am. it won't discom-
mode you in the least. It will be well
wrapped and weigh only three or four
pounds"

'What's the matter with this mules

'I put them on the day before yester-

"Never mind how they look |" replied

The mother came just then and res
cued the baby and carried it off. The
stranger moved to the seat beside Mil

"Do tell me what's wrong?" he
pleaded.
The color was slowly returning to
her face and ghost of smile was
playing around Mildred's mouth.
"Why-why-you see, I'm the girl,
and I'm running away from you, too
to an aunt of mine. You're Richard
Harvey, aren't you?"
He was staring incredulously now.
"Then if you're Mildred Wilson, all
have to say is that 1 was an awful fool
to shy so. wonder if you'll ever for
give me?"
II was just thinking something like
that myself" said Mildred, colOring.
"And after all it would be u shame
to disappoint your father"
Mildred wouldn't say whether she
thought SO or not, but somehow or
other her companion did not appear to
be discouraged. At any rate, no one
paid any attention to the cornfelds
after that.-Olive Roberts Barton, In

WISE AND OTHERWISE
Everybody knows that other
people make mistakes.

Everybody knows that other
people make mistakes.
TOasts are often drunk, yet
they are never Intoxicated.
Watches and rivers do not run
long without winding.
Human nature sets man up
as judge of his neighbOrs.
A woman laughs most heartily
at a story Of which she fails to
see the point.
The snow man quickly melts,
but it's different with the heart
of the ice man.
To be optimistic is easy when
only the good things Of life are
coming your way.
The man who plays poker for
pastime usually passes more or
less coin over to the other fell
low.
A married man should come
home early at least one night
each week-just to show his
wife that he 0an do it.

improves Sandwiches.

Peanut butter sandwiches are much
improved by the addition Of beans, Ell
ther baked or boiled. The proper
tiOns are One-third peanut butter and
twO-thirds beans.
II the skins are tough, rub the beans
through sieve, then mix with the but
ter. adding dash Of cayenne pepper
and salt to taste and little water or
milk, II too thick.
Sandwiches prepared In this way do
not stick to the roof Of the mouth. as
the peanut butter alone sometimes
does. This is inexpensive, very pal
atable and original.

A CORRECTION

The Public Ledger yesterday had
an account of the loss of Mr.. F. P.
Carpenters Overland automobile. The
acts are these, Mr.. Carpenter is a
substantial, high-class citizen Of the
Ternleaf neighborhood and any re-
lection cast upon his character would
ne ridiculous. Mr.. Carpenter came to
town Monday in his machine to meet
his wife who had been to Flemings-
burg. He had to ship a tire to Gin
cinnati so he went to the Express Of
ice. His machine has not been "hit-
ing and as Kirk Bros. Garage was
right opposite he drove to it and had
Mr.. Knapp, the machinist, attend to
it,; he put in a spark plug and then
irove the car outside and five gallons
If gasoline was put in. Mr.. Knapp
arove up and down to see that all was
right then Mr.. Carpenter got in and
drove up to Third and Market streets
and parked his car in front of Mr. T..
A. Keith's home. He left his machine
and went to Barkley's and came back
and discovered his auto gone. Natur-
ally he thought 1t had been stolen and
20 reported to Chief Mackey who
spent $3.50 telephoning to points.
Mrs. Carpenter came and had to 60
lone on bus. Mr.. Carpenter
waited till night fall hoping to find
his machine, then he was driven
home by kind friend. When he came
in to Maysville next morning Chief
Mackey told him his machine was at
Kirk Bros. Garage. Mr.. Carpenter
went to the garage and young Knapp
told him his car was there. Mr.. Car
penter found his car on the third floor.
He asked Knapp who gave him au-
thority or why did he take his ma
chine, but he stammered an excuse
and Mr.. Carpenter then paid the little
bill he owed for repairs and gasolin,
and went on. He feels very mucl
agrieved and Inundated over the oc
currence and claims the whole trans
action is rejecting on his reputation
and tending to hurt him In financ,
and moral standing to say nothing o
the mental anguish he and his goot
wife have suffered by reason of tn
taking of his auto and holding sam
from him. Mr.. Carpenter is not un
reasonable nor vindictive. He Away
pays his bills and comes from Elem
ing county highly recommended ii
any walk of life.
