LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

It often happens that the man who can speak five different languages never gets 8 chance to use them because his wife can speak one.
 Nature Is queer cuss. She will force a mustache on young girl, who doesn't want 1t. while young man who wants one can't raise anything but fuzz.
 The great problem of life with lot of men is how to earn more and work less.
 The reason for tho proverb about there being no fool like an old fool is because some people never grow romantic until it is time for them to grow rheumatic.
 Everything has it's use. When an old fashioned hayseed purchased a gold brick his wife used to cover 1t with cloth and used it to hold the door open.
 There would be a lot more hermits in this country if caves were equipped with all modern conveniences.
 Isn't it remarkable what lot of things you could have invented if you had only thought of them before the other fell low?
 A man can't bluff man that he can't whip But it is different with a woman.
 A man can't understand why his wife can bake cakes for birthday parties and fairs and yet feed him on cake that she gets at the grocery or the bake shop. When you see some men at work you can understand why they do not get much pay.
 Men are pretty decent fellows as a rule. But when honor and desire clash, we'll take ticket on desire. It is just as hard to get something for nothing nowadays as 1t ever was. But bunco men will always prosper be- cause you can't make some fellows be- ueve it

war is that of conserving the food sup ply of the nation. It Is also an eco nomic question that affects all classes, but it is largely from the health view point that the subject will be dis cussed in this series of short talks" on food and nutrition.
 Everything potts to a food shortage. particularly of meats and wheat prod ucts. that is alarming to those who have studied the situation. Unless the consumption of meats and wheat flour is decreased they will bring such prices in a few months that only the rich can have them and the laboring classes may be deprived of these ne- cessities to life.
 If we lived nationally the present food supply would more than equal the demand. As a nation we overeat, and as a result diseases of the heart, kidneys and brain have increased ap- proximately 20 per cent in the last 30 years Overeating is very harmful and since we must learn to live on less it is worth while knowing that we are better off by reducing the amount of meats, sweets. wheat prod

tured the city and occupied the port thereby loosing the German foothold in China Dr. Ayres says that Tsing Tao. built by the Germans as a model city. is without doubt one of the most beautiful places he has ever seen.
 Hwanghien, where Dr. Ayres lives, is a typical Chinese city and one of the wealthiest in the province of Shadgtun. and has over 100000 popu. lation. It Is great commercial town. located in a rich valley famed for it's agriculture Practically everything wa grow here in Alabama is grown by them with the exception of cotton and oats. They still farm by the old meth- ods.
 Chefoo. the port for Hwanghien. Is about as far as Anniston from Bir- mingham. but 1t takes two days to make the trip. as there is no railroad connecting them and the journey is made by mule cart or mule litter. From what pr. Ayres told me. the roads need Chinese Asa Rountree to put them in the hearts of the Chinese au- thorities. By the way, pr. Ayres him. self is good roads booster. as he called the first good roads convention ever held in Alabama and was the first president of the good roads con- vention in the state. He tried to do something in China. but gave 1t up in despair.
 Dr. Ayres is one of the most illun- mating speakers on conditions In China that I have ever heard address any of our associations or conventions and all who hear him realize that Christianity's greatest field lies in the celestial empire. which is now taking

 Let us get together and force such man to serve at the head of our municipal cabinet I feel sure that all the an nounced candidates would be big enough and generous enough to be willing to sacrifice personal political ambition-and that ambition which the politicians al- ways have for lively scrap-and con tent themselves with one of the regular places on the commission.

 The darkest hour is when you find that all your coin is spent And nothing but your timepiece stands between you and the rent; You never know it's value till you paw the old thing OCT. As you stand beneath the shadow of the gloomy paWnshop door.
 Cincinnati Enquirer. The darkest hour Is when you find the team three runs behind And batsmen cleave the atmosphere as if they had gone blind, Ton never know the value of solid three-base clout Until the bags are filled with waiting men and two are out.
 Birmingham Age-Herald. The darkest hour, we think, Is when the wife of any man Finds when he comes in off the road dainty fragile fan In his inside coat pocket; oh the wicked ways of men! It's time for us to go home and explain that fan again.
 Houston Post. The darkest hour. oh, I can name and mark 1t for you we'll, It's when from slumber deep you wake to hear the baby yell; And wife says: I've tried and tried but cannt stop his roar, You'll have to put your bathrobe on, then start to walk the floor''

 If the average person could learn that in eating meat more than once a day he is not only aiding In keeping up the price of that necessity, there- by taking meat out of the mouths of those who need 1t most; f. e.. the labor ing classes, but that he Is actually inJuring himself by taking into his body more protein than he can ns- simulate. he would be willing to do his part to solve the meat problem. If he could. or would. learn the factss about the fermentation of an excess' of starches and sweets in the intes- tines he would aid in keeping down the price of flour. potatoes and sweets. If he can be taught the relative food values of the various articles of nour- ishment and the amounts needed for daily nutrition of vegetables, meats, milk, butter and vegetable oils, and other food products. he would eat -a- tionally and thereby become a health- Ter and better man. not to mention tho glorious privilege that he would enjoy in doing something for his country Tn its hour of need.

Sixteen years ago in Annston a physi- clan who for nearly 20 years had been practicing the healing, art on his own townspeople got a vision of suffering on the other side of the world and at the call of the great Physician needed it. The man was pr. T. w. Ayres, and today he is back in America on fur tough and visiting his son. Harry M. Ayers, editor of the Anniston Evening Star. Only last week a great sorrow Anniston, Carey Judson Ayres, de- vout missionary at heart, who. in his own humble way, lived in the home land worthy of the three great foreign missionaries whose names he bore.
 tpe
 Dr. Ayres was the first missionary to go to north China after the great Boxer uprising. and was the first man on the battle scene at Hwangien dur ing the revolution when the Manchu dynasty was overthrown. It will be remembered that Fall the missionaries were ordered to leave the interior and go to the ports for safety, but after the fighting began Dr. Ayres got per mission from the American consul to go back to his people.
 He was able to open the first Red Cross work that the Chinese had ever seen at Hwankhien. The leading mer- chants and bankers realized its value
 ;< success. It was in an appreciation of the work done by pr. Ayres during the first revolution and during the epi- demic of the pulmonary plague that President Yuan Shi Kai conferred upon him the Chinese decoration of Kai Ho.
 The way the decoration was trans
