Two Kinds Of Hunger.

The mother who is sole parent may
feel compelled to go out to work, and
in so doing she will change her ideas.
Her employment outside will not be
all loss to her children. But she
should realize that her fatherless chill
dren want much more from her than
decent meals and tidy frocks. II she
has to strive to replace her husband
she may have to do a mans work,
and she ought to get mans pay for
1t. But with the pay she must bring
home something to educate and amuse
her children. She must not wholly ig-
more, as she so often does. the hunger
OF the childish mind. It Is hard to ask
women, with their lesser strength OF
body, to perform this double parental
task in the upbrlnging Of their chill
dren. But 1t Is necessary II the child
is not TO suffer. So many women are
guilty of this sort of neglect only be-
cause they do not quite realize the
craving of the mind for knowledge.
No mother alive to her duties allows
herself 10 be satisfied when she has
fed the children's hunger with ma
terial things. she realizes that there
is a greater hunger than this-the
hunger of the mind.-Exchange.

the eyes TO wash them occasionally,
many people advise washing the eyes

The best eye wash consists of lev

In a quart of distilled or boiled water /;
or, pinch of salt added TO small tea

side to side strengthens tile muscles

should only be tried when the eyes
are feeling fresh, as 1t stimulates,
When the eyes are tired this wash, o.
bath of hot water, with a Sponge or
cloth soaked in hot water held right
over the eyes, is the best plan. For
this will bring the blood to the eyes

chsap and NourIshlna Dish.

Two ounces of oatmeal are sufficient
to make a plateful of porridge, and
this, with a pennyworth Of new milk,
and some sugar, provides a more nour-

steak.
The porridge. too. contains all that

fat, to provide for the energy and
warmth of the body, the albumen for

the formation Of muscle alone. with a

LEGAL opInlon Of Poker.

Judgment in case which involved n
decision as to whether poker is an un-
lawful game. The case arose out of
a raid ON premises known as the Greek
National club. The magistrate held
that, although poker might not be a
card game of mere chance, 1t was GER
tainly not game of mere skill, and he
quoted English authorities to the eff

not a game of mere skill was unlawful.

INDUSTRIAL. RELATIONS
AND NATIONAL DEFENSE

The industrial relation has be-
come a deciding factor behind
the battling armies. To secure
and maintain uninterrupted pro-
duction, in every department Of
civil life that one soldier may
hold his strength to maintain
his fire at the front. A break
down in the supply Of munitions
may be an irreparable military
disaster. A strike would do more
to cause ultimate defeat than a
lost battle; the destruction Of a
factory is more terrible than the
loss Of a redoubt. One man may
fire a gun; it may take dozen to
load it. It is these things which
have demonstrated to the warning
nations that industrial prepared
ness is the first line Of national
defense and that sound industrial
relations are the first essential Of
national safety and military Sc
curity The concerted Interrupt
ton Of British manufacture in
this hour would break her line

How We Helped Germany

Dr. f. +. Pratt, formerly Chief of
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, asserts that the meat ex-
ported to neutral countries from the
United States during 1916 would have
sufficed to support the entire German
and Austrian armies for 275 days out
Of the year. During the same year 25
per cent of all the fats required by
Germany were obtained from neutral
countries. We were selling to the
neutral countries and they were pass
ing the supplies on to Germany. And
here is what Secretary Lansing said
in his note to Earl Grey, of the Brit
ish Government, in defense of such
trade.
when goods are clearly intended to
become Incorporated in the mass of
merchandise for sale in neutral
country, it is an unwarranted and in
quisitorial proceeding to detain ship
ments for examination as 10 whether
those goods are ultimately destined
for the enemy's country or use"
That was the attitude of our De
partment of State at time when
Bernstorff and his colleagues were
plotting against the United States.

Building McAdOo's Fence

One of the interesting incidents of
the transfer Of Daniel c. Roper from
the Tariff Commission to the Office of
Commissioner of Internal Revenue is
the announcement that his former po-
sition paid salary of $500 while his
new one will pay only $4,000. A
transfer that means a $1,000 cut in
compensation certainly has much sig
nificance, of some sort. The New
York Journal of Commerce, which
calls attention to this reduction also
gives the information that Roper will
have under him an army of revenue
agents and collectors, which force is
second to none outside the Post Office
Department" The information is al
so conveyed that as First Assistant
Postmaster General, Roper, obtained
some valuable political schooling" 1t
will be remembered that Abraham
Lincoln said that when you find
number of men cutting and shaping
timbers, which, when put together, fit
exactly, it is reasonable to conclude
that they were working in accordance
with plan that had been agreed up
on. 1t is safe guess that the Nc
Adoo presidential nomination fence is
being built.
