Harry Lauder, the great Scottish
singer lis again back in this country.
Mr. Lauder is doing his "bit" by help
ing in the Y m. C. A. work, and
his songs which have brought cheer to
many hearts from the American stage
has also brought comfort and joy to
the hearts of the boys in the trenches.
He has made more than one trip to
the trenches to sing to the soldiers.
and it is safe to say that the applause
he received on these occasions brought
cheer to his own heart to help in his
sorrow of losing his only son in this
grim war.

This in our mind is criminal waste
of food. 1t is supposed that three
meals day is sufficient, therefore
this extra meal of fancy "tid-bits" is
but luxury that our bodies do not
need. Also take the pink teas"
club meetings and social gatherings
of different kinds, when before the
guests take their departure it has
been customary to serve light lunch
con. This is also unnecessary from
physical standpoint, but has been
the custom of society. Why don't So
ciety make this kind of thing unfash-
ionable, thereby doing away with this
extravagant waste of food, and help
the families that have signed the food
pledge live up to their good inten-
tions. There has been over $4,000
families in the state of North Dakota
signed the Food Pledge up to date,
and according to statistics there is
10000 pledges to be had in this state.
Signing the pledge does not merely
mean that we are to have meatless
and wheatless days, but that we are
to conserve all the food that is pos.
sible, SO you see what saving this
would be if the 100000 families would
cut out these useless luncheons.

eve must concentrate on Victory"
were the words of Lloyd George in a
recent address. We must all CON-
CENTRATE ON VICTORY in the APP
preaching NATIONAL Y. NJ. C. Al
canvass, if We are to have victory in
the war. Next week, November II
to 10Th, is the week which has been
set for the raising of $35,O00,O0O in
tn United States for the Y. NJ. G
A. War Work. OF this amount
North Dakota's ,apportionment is
$125,O00. This makes the amount
of $4,000 raised last year seem
small. But it is big job that we
have undertaken and big jobs require
big efforts.
Lloyd George suggested to the
English people that they divide their
income into four parts: az That
which must 60 to the support Of the
family there strict economy should
prevaiD. (2) The second is that
which must be turned over to the
government in taxes of various kinds.
(3) The third part should be invest
ed in Liberty Bonds, and the (4)
fourth, which is all that is left,
should in such time of national
crisis, all go to the Patriotic funds
of various kinds-the churches, the
schools and the Red Cross and the
Y. M. C.. A. Next week the Y.
M. C. A. is to ask for its share of
this part of our income and it de-
serves our loyal support.
One incident which is all we have
room for, selected from thousands of
similar ones, illustrates the work of
the association at the front: 1.-THE
leader of one of the biggest huts or
groups Of huts in France was endeav-
oring to fix up a sing-song from the
platform one evening. He appealed
to the men to help by taking part in
the program. For some time there
vas no response. Then drunken
soldier jumped up onto the platform
and said, What's the matter, padre?
Won't anyone help ye? Never mind,
padre, I'll give yer hand. What
would yer like me to do? can sing,
l can recite, or l can pray For a
moment the leader hardly knew what
to do-he could only pray that God
would overrule this incident to His
glory. To his dismay the drunken
soldier staggered to the front of the
platform and said, Let us pray He
then began his prayer: Everlasting
God-everlasting God-everlasting
God. There he broke down and with
sob said, I had good mother.
I've been d. fool God forgive
me-"
That was all-God heard that
drunkard's prayer. From that night
forward the man was changed. Mr..
Hiley could hardly move, but the SOL
der followed him. In hundred
ways he helped the padre. A few
days later he was sent up the line
and was killed in action.

Food conservation is being relig-
iously preached to us every day and
we are being taught that it is a sin
to even waste cabbage leaf. This is
all very well and good, but how about
the big business conferences that are
being held every day in the large
cities, when they have been in the
habit of taking over a dining room
and having an elegant banquet served
before getting down to business.

Aluminium and Oxyoen.

Aluminium is in many ways a Won
derful substance, albeit In the natural
world most Of it is oxidized and turned
to clay. Its avidity for oxygen is one
Of its most salient characteristics. 1t Is
said that one never sees the metal, d.
rectly, in air, but always and only
through a veil of superficial oxide
which forms on its free surface with
marvellous rapidly. It is stated that If
a fresh surface of aluminium be pre-
pared by scraping with a knife the
oxygen Of the air runs In as fast as the
scale is peeled off and keeps close be-
hind the knife blade.
If it were not for this superficial
scale Of oxide, which acts as q barrier
to further action, the metal would burn
up or defagrate In air. The large
amount Of heat developed by thermit,
a mixture Of powdered aluminium with
oxygen giving substances, bears wit
ness to the activity Of the oxidizing
process when completed-Washington

The Arabic Language.

Though the Arabs number less than
the population Of London, their Ian
guage is one Of the most widely spoken
and influential In the world, for it is
the language Of the Koran. Seventy
millions Of people In Asia and north
Africa speak some form Of Arabic as
their vernacular, and quite as many
more know something Of the language
from the Koran, which In the original
Is text book in the day schools Of the
Mohammedans from Turkey to Afgha-
nistan and New Guinea. Nor Is Arabic
unworthy Of this extensive use. Re
nan, after expressing his surprise that
such a language should spring from
the desert regions Of Arabia and reach
perfection in nomadic camps, declares
that it surpasses all its sister Semitic
languages in richness of vocabulary,
delicacy of expression and the logic Of
its grammatical construction.-Londo

No tourist crosses the Sumida river
unless it is to visit the great amphi-
theater for a wrestling match or a
chrysanthemum show, yet there is
where the real secret Of Tokyo's fu-
ture lies. 1t is the factory and slum
sections Of the city, and the population
there has increased in the last decade
ten times as fast as has the population
In the district of Kojimachi, which
surrounds the palace.
In the last generation the population
Of the five greatest Industrial and COM
mercial cities in Japan has increased
by 314 per cent as against an increase
in the whole empire of Is per cent.
The trend in Japan Is cityward, and
the visitor to Tokyo, seeing the streets
crowded with people, does not realize
that in the suburbs the growth in popu-
lation has run from $50 to 500 per cent

After months spent in idolatrous lands
l have been unable to see much real
worship In heather shrines. The edu-
Gated worship with their tongues In
their cheeks and the ignorant with
their hearts in their mouths. But the
amount of real worship that exists In
heather temples is very small.
Sometimes a bereaved mother will
enter the temple and draw from her
kimono the tiny bib Of departed little
one and tie it to the statue Of Jizo, the
god Of motherhood. Sometimes an old
man or woman almost blind will enter
the temple and rub the eyes of a wood
en- god and then rub his own in the
hope that eternal darkness may not
close in on his affrighted soul. In some
places Buddhist services are as digni-
fed, as well attended and as helpful as
our own. In Hakodate I attended
Buddhist preaching service that smack
ed less Of idolatry and more of morals
than some ceremonials in our cruel
form chapels.-Christian Herald.

The kitchen is the real workshop of
the family. Most Of the work there
has to do with preparing food for the
family, cleaning it up and putting 1t
away. The old fashioned kitchens
never took into account economy of
steps and time, but today this Is al
ways done. There Is a logical order
for the arrangement Of the equipment.
Things that belong to each process
should be together, within the reach
OF the worker. The icebox, cold pam
try, kitchen cabinet, stove and serving
table are used together and should be
In a close continuous line. This is the
food preparation side of the equip
ment. For the cleaning up of the same
economy should be practiced. The sink
should be near the china closet or In
buffers pantry, the track should be
straight for clearing up. Always have
plenty Of table room near the sink. A
drain board on each side is the best
plan, or at least a set Of hanging
shelves, a hinged shelf and extra Ia.

Politics and Tobacco.

Something like half a century ago q
man named Dan Bradley started the
custom in a little cigar store in Brook
Ign Of keeping box of smoking to-
bacco on the counter, with a sign
above it saying, Fill your pipe" Part
ly on the strength Of his popularity,
due in no small degree to the free fill
ings for a pipe, Bradley ran independ-
emily for the state senate and was elect
ed as against the regular candidate.
Five thousand clay pipes did the
trick for Dan" was a saying at the time.
"a man would have to give away au-
tomobiles to get elected to the senate
nowadays" observed one of the new
school of politicians.

Dust Dancers.

An analysis Of the contents Of q
vacuum cleaner made recently showed
that the dust which had collected on
the bookshelves In a library consisted
Of "hair, green wool, white wool, cot
ton fibers, celluloid, pieces Of finger
nails, fly wings, sand grains, wood, pa
per, string, metallic iron and leather.
The hair was probably derived from
soft hats, the wool and cotton fbers
from clothing, sand from the mud
tracked In on shoes and the gradual
pulverizing Of the floor, fly wings from
dead flies and paper from book leaves"
Curiously enough, very few germs
were found in this dust. Yet there Is
no question that inhaling it might lead
to various diseased conditions. This
would not be the result Of any disease
germs contained In the dust itself, but
to the irritating effects produced by
the dust particles when brought into
contact with the bronchial membranes.
Thus it is evident that even germ free
dust may be harmful when inhaled

Tact and Success,

Tact is a combination Of good tenn
per, ready wit, quickness Of percep-
ton and ability to take In the e1igency
Of the occasion instantly. 1t Is never
offensive, but is a balm allaying sus-
picion and soothing. It Is appreciated.
1t is plausible without being dishon-
est, apparently consults the welfare OF
the second party and does not mani
fest any selfishness. 1t Is never antag-
onistic, never opposes, never strokes
the hair the wrong way and never irri-
tates. Tact, like a fine manner, eases
the way, takes the Jar out Of the jolts,
oils the bearings, opens doors barred
to others, sits in the drawing room
when others must wait in the recep-
ton hall, gets into private offices when
others are turned down. 1t admits you
into exclusive circles, where wealth
abounds, even though poor. 1t secures
the position when merit is turned
away. Tact is q great manager. 1t
easily controls people, even when com
bined with small ability, when genius
cannot get along.

Bees and Fruit


An agricultural society Of Florence,
Italy, has recently carried out a thor
ough Investigation Of the alleged In
jury OF fruit by bees and has COM
pleteiy exonerated the latter. Bees are
unable to perforate the skin Of the
fru1t and it Is only incidentally that
they suck the juices Of fruits injured
by other natural causes. The damage
sometimes attributed to these insects
Is due to poultry, wild birds, wind and
hail, and even more frequently to hor-
nets, wasps, vine moths and other in
sects. Instead Of being harmful to
orchards and vineyards, bees perform
the useful service Of effecting the
cross pollination Of flowers, and hence
the setting Of fruit as well as the de-
struction Of damaged fruits Especially
grapes by sucking the juice and pulp
and thus preventing fermentation and
rot extending to sound individuals.
The orchards and vineyards frequented
by bees give the most constant crops

Araentina's Military System.

Every native or naturalized citizen
Of Argentina, at home or abroad, on
reaching the age Of eighteen years
must be enrolled. The federal execu-
tive power takes charge of this nation
al enrolment, which serves at once as
a registration Of voters and national
defenders. A given individual, If at
home, Is enrolled In one Of the five
military districts into which the four
teen states and ten territories Of Ar
gentina are divided. If he resides
abroad he Is enrolled In his consulate,
for the government follows him with
precision wherever he may wander.
With the exception Of these consular
registrations abroad the general en-
rollment Is entirely In charge Of the
military authorities, who are counted
upon to get more thorough results than
Q civil census provides.-World's Work.

FRAGRANT Fern.

Some say 1t has the fragrancy Of new
mown hay. 1t reminds others Of fresh
strawberries. There are also those
who detect 1t In the perfume Of the
wild rose. Opinions differ as to what
the fragrance resembles, but all opin-
Ions are unanimous In praising it. So
they call 1t the fragrant fern.
1t grows in small, round clumps In
clefts on the face Of a precipice, out of
reach Of collectors, who haven't the
patience to hunt for 1t. For this rea-
son 1t Is not well known. Its out OF
the way haunts provide an effectual
hiding place.
The hardness Of the fragrant fern
surprises the amateur collector. 1t
grows In full glare Of the sun, in
places where more common ferns
would be scorched and withered. Yet
the fronds remain green throughout
the year, and even the year-old fronds,
which turn brown at the end Of the
season, curl up around the roots Of
the plant and cling to the rocks.-Phil-

Work CT q Microscope.

One Of the newest of astronomical
instruments is the blink microscope.
The principle involved Is similar to
that Of the moving picture machine.
In the latter the film used consists of a
series Of pictures, each q little differ
ent from its predecessor. If these are
presented In rapid succession the Sc
ries Is fused into one picture In which
the succeeding differences appear as
motion. The blink microscope enables
one to compare photograph Of a por-
ton Of the heavens with another of
the same region taken several years
later. An ingenious continuance brings
first one then the other plate into view
In rapid succession. If In the interval
between two exposures a star In the
region has changed its position appre-
ciably it will appear to move and can
be detected at once. Formerly It was
necessary to measure carefully the po-
sitions Of all the stars on both plates
In order to detect those with large
proper motions. Such stars are some
times called runaway" stars.

lattraa de Cachet.

Lettres de cachet was the name given
In France to warrants sealed with the
kings seal ordering persons to be
thrown into prison or exiled. The first
came into use about 1910 and shortly
became one Of the popular terrors Of
France. 1t is said that no less than 1900
lettres de cachet were issued during
the reign Of Louis XIV. and $4,000 dur
ing the reign Of Louis XIV. In many
cases these terrible documents were
secretly sold and used as a source Of
illicit revenue. They were frequently
signed in blank, and the holder Of one
Of these royal terrors could write in
the name of any person against whom
he happened to have a grudge. The ma
tional assembly abolished this iniqui-
tous privilege Of issuing lettres de
cachet on Nov. 1, 1850.

Complaint of the Stupid.

1t Is only stupid people who complain
that they are misunderstood. If they
were not stupid they would know that
there is absolutely no such thing as be-
ing misunderstood, and therefore that
there is nothing whatsoever to be gain
ed by complaining about 1t.
Wise people who want to be under
stood do not spend their time COM
planning, but In perfecting some means
Of expressing themselves by which
they may reveal to the world about
them some slight remnant, at least, Of
their souls or their minds or their ideas
or their discoveries OR their eccentrici-
ties or whatever it is they want to
make known.
When you complain about not being
understood the only thing you make
clear is that you are a complainer.-
