repairs for the same reason To convey an idea of the tremendous an nual growth in the demand for cop per is difficult, but it required the entire production of 14O,0O0, 900 pounds from the great new "Inspira- tion'' copper mine of Arizona to meet the average g per cent growth for the year 1915. Next year it will require the discovery and bringing into pro- duction of two such mines and so on in increasing ratio, from year to year. Such discoveries have been few in recent years and some authorities go so far as to assert that it is doubtful if copper production will ever be much greater than it is this year un- less new deposits of great magnitude are discovered.
 Record breaking production is ex- hausting old mines cnd so increasing expenses in others that millions of pounds of copper now cost up to 25c pound to produce. Michigan's fam ous ''Tamarack" mine has shrunk from over 20,000,000 pounds of cop per in 1889 to about 6,500,000 pounds last year and as costs in 1915 were over 16c per pound they probably reached 1Sc in 1916 175,000, 900
 pounds of the 23O.OOO,OOO pounds pro-
 duced by the American Smelling and
 Refining Company in 1916 came from

 | According to reports 13,O00,000
 pounds of the 45,0O0,O0O pounds pro- duction of the Grandby Company are from the 6id Phoenix mine and
 must be costing in the neighborhood ! of 25c pound to produce. Operation l has been resumed by the Adventure Company at mine that has been idle since 1913 and from which the cost of copper several years ago was more 1 than 20c This makes over 50,000,0 ,000
 pounds when added to the following 65,000,000 pounds of last years pro-
 duction that will totally disappear if
 copper ever again gets down to 15c a pound.

A NOTE OF CHEER.

"Tuberculosis-Its Prevention and
Proper Treatment" is the title of
neat, well written little book, pub
lished by Thomas Werner Gibson of
Albuquerque, N. NJ. In 1t, Mr.. Gibson
sets forth from the story of his own
personal fight with the disease, the
means of prevention and the method
of cure as his experience has proved
their value. The little book is well
worth reading by every one, whether
sick or well. 1t is particularly valu-
able because of the authors CHEEKY
note of hope to the sufferer and his
assurance that what he has accom-
plished others may accomplish by fol-
lowing the same painstaking methods.
There are forty-seven pages in the
book. 1t contains valuable informa-
ton about various climates and alti-
tudes as well as interesting chapters
on Heredity, Prevention. Symptoms,
Exercise, Cures and kindred subjects.

.WHATEYER YOU WANT no Know"

American first line troops have
landed in France. The United States
is now actually in the war. 1t is less
than three months since war was de-
clared yet troops are already in touch
with the fighting line. This accom-
plishment is remarkable when it is
considered that the country was al
most totally unprepared for war April
I. What has been done is an illus
tration of the American spirit, spirit
which is largely responsible for our
unpreparedness. The American peo-
pie have been so accustomed to taking
hold and doing things in emergency
that they give little thought to posi-
BILE emergencies before they arrive.
The rapidity with which war prep
arations are being carried on indi-
Gates that within a year we shall be
IS fully equipped for the business of
war as are our allies after three years
of activity in that line. Americans al
ways can be relied upon to do things
wien the necessity arises but they are
hard to stampede.

the government of India shows that
the total wheat area is 32,962,O 900

simply because ne has neglected the
little courtesies of life. His greatness
was robbed of. all its influence upon
certain lives simply by his selfishness
in small things. ----7.
Nothing thatgoes into character is
small.
Cheerfulness is not a small thing
when it shows men the joy of the
Lord.
Tactful is not minor virtue when
by 1t soul may be saved
Goodness has first claim upon a life
but attractiveness has second. We
owe it to the world to be winsome; to
that we can devise. The soul that is
tender and tactful, as well as true, is
the really strong soul Cultivate the
little arts of helpfulness. and a life of
great helpfulness will be the result.
The habit of cheerfulness seems no
great thing, yet when manifested it
shows forth the winsomeness and
beauty and power of the Gospel, and
leads many to the source of all joy.
Some persons, the worlds sun
beams, have the habit of doing little
kindnesses. 1t is their way to make
kindly inquiry about another's well
sent friend. to pass on the pleasant
word, to give the merited praise, to
speak the heartening message of en-
couragement. Each of these deeds in
itself is small, yet it may well be ques-
toned whether these persons are not
as great benefactors of the race as
the mighty leaders of thought and
action.
Millions of people on the earth to-
day are troubled about their appear
ance. They are genuinely anxious to
be beautiful. Yet, most of them, by
their shortsightedness, mar the beauty
they already possess, in their desire
to increase it. Why is 1t that the
secret of true beauty, although SO
evident, should be so generally over
looked? There is one way, and only
one way, to become permanently and
increasingly beautiful, and that is by
the cultivation of a spirit of sweet I'M
selfishness. When the love that seek
eth not its own is in the heart, she
invariably imprints her radiant image
on the face. By self-abnegating min
| istry is obtained unfading winsome-
ness. For the beauty of unselfishness
is the very beauty of holiness.
