c. c. PARLIN

c. C. Parlin of Philadelphia, former
ly principal of the Wausau High
school, was in the city over Sunday
on visit to his mother and Wausau
friends. Yesterday afternoon he gave
a talk at the High school, principally
on the conservation of food. He spoke
briefly on the shortage of sugar fac
ing this country, and mentioned sub
stitutes, such as corn syrup, etc. Mr.
Parlin stated that the waste of food
had been cut down considerably
wasteful extravaganza is becoming a
thing of the past, and economy is
practiced more than ever before. In
public eating places, such as hotels
and restaurants, people are eating all
they order MIR. Parlin said we have
reached the period when all food or
dered should be. eaten and not left on
our plates. If we observe the con-
servation of food there is no reason
why there should be a food famine,
but if we are not careful there will
not be enough food to go around. Mr..
Parlin departed again last evening.

WHY FEAR DEATHS CALL?
Philosopher Regards Passing Away as
Only Natural and Good-Fears
the Unnatural.

They were discussing death, little
group of men, all of them in the best
OF health and the glory of living Men
of the world, in sense, and enjoying
life to it's utmost, the subject of death
was introduced by the announcement
that a widely-known man with whom
all of them had been acquainted had
passed away
One of the party, according to the
Columbus (O0 Dispatch, said he hated
to think of death, that he was actually
afraid to think of it. He so loved life
that death seemed a terrible enemy,
and he would Hke~to escape it. But
the philosopher of the party-only he
was not known as a philosopher until
he delivered his little preachment-
said he could not understand such an
attitude toward death.
81 am not afraid of anything that is
natural" he said. SIT is the unnatural
that alarms me. 1t would be unnatural
to live forever, and l would hate to be
sentenced to such a punishment. But
Death is natural; am not afraid of it.
Billions of people have died; they are
dying every day. Little children have
died and old men and women, and the
birds and beasts all pass away, and the
fishes in the streams, and every living
thing upon the earth is to die. Why,
then, should great hulk of a chap
like myself, one who has had and is
having his time, why should l fear
death?'
Not afraid of that which is natural?
If only all of US could understand that
the natural is good and the unnatural
bad, what splendid world it would
be for everything and everybody.

Curious Timekeepers.

To ascertain the time at night. the
Apache Indians employed gOurd on
which the stars of the heavens were
marked. AS the consultations rose in
the sky, the Indian referred to his
gourd and found out the hour. By
turning the gourd around he could tell
the order in which the constellation
might be expected TO appear.
The hill people of Assam reckon
time and distance by the number of
guilds of betel-nuts chewed. It viii be
