the poor there usually develops rather
early in life q keen appreciation of
the value of money. Whatever money
there is is quickly spent and comes
To represent pretty definitely the ne
ceSSitieS and the luXurieS of life. A
nickel means a loaf of bread and a
penny means a stick of candy. Money
is hard 10 get and good to have. and
without it there is privation and mis-
cry.
On the other hand, in the homes of
the well-tO-do and in the country,
where comparatively little cash is
handled. the opportunity TO become ac-
quainted with the sources and proper
ties of money are comparatively mar
row. Here people somehow have what
they need. and no special effort or
hardship is associated with getting
these things.
Money plays so important n role in
modern life that we are apt to take il
for granted without thinking especially
of teaching children what they should
understand of the matter. Children
should learn these things definitely
and practically, beginning as soon as
they are old enough to appreciate rela-
tive values. A child can begin by buy
ing things for the household when he
is able 10 distinguish the coins and
count up the amounts. The age for
this will, of course, vary with different
children.
In households that do not manifest
through their activities and conversa-
ton the methods by which the family
income Is obtained children should be
explicitly Informed on the subject. 1t
is not only embarrassing 10 the child
to display his ignorance when compar-
ing notes with other children. but II Is
n necessary part OF his understanding
of the world TO know just how people
obtain the precious tokens by means
of which they secure all their necessL.
ties and luxuries.

taken off by the general atmosphere
Therefore, you want blankets soft and
pliable so that they will fall of their
own weight and fit snugly to the body,
so as to prevent the air from circulat-
ing bety zen the blanket and the body.
The army blanket is woven SO close
ly and becomes SO rigid when thrown
over the body that it fails to fall in
close, but stands out and permits an
air space between itself and the body.
This interferes with its heat-retaining
qualities to the extent that after prac
teal application in our large hospitals
in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania
we find in the cold high mountain re-
gions we can get along with three soft
er woven blankets instead of having
TO use five army blankets.
With this discovery and practical ap-
plication we not only save much money
in maintaining our hospitals, but we
give our patients more comfort. The
blankets are warmer and at the same
time are lighter in weight
The army blanket was made original
ly SO that it would be strong and could
be used in active campaigns, where it

The latest development in metering
appliances is a coal meter built ON the
principle of a water or gas meter This
instrument was devised primarily TO
measure the coal consumption of fac

1t operates on the same principle as

Loving a Crouch Away


There's a look on the face you can
love away,
There's a crease in the brow you can
smooth today;
There's a CLEAN in the eye you can
change TO one
That is sweet as the ray of the morn
ing sun
It's the touch of our loving, the
sweet of our will,
That scatter the shadows of anger
and i'll.
There's a crouch that you think will
be always the same,
So grim and so dark; but it goes rs
it came
When you love it away with a tender
ness born
OF the spirit of brightness and glad
ness and morn
There isn't a crouch ever lived very
long
Meath the spell of love that is
sweetened with song.
You can love it away, love the ache
and the care,
Love the heart that is heavy with
grief and despair,
Till 1t lifts to the sunshine, as flowers
in the spring,
And responds every time to the song
that you sing
Forgetting its wrinkles and creases
and frOwn
At the touch of loves fingers like
velvet of down.
