often come to the rescue when other
wise there might be an embarrassing
situation for some pupil of c. Fl. s.
He made his debut into the athletic
world at the District Meet at Ameri
Gus. He goes into everything with
enthusiasm and in fact he was one Of
the most enthusiastic Of cur delegates
at the Meet. He came back to Cor

Helps in the Home.

Broiling is one Of the pleasantest and
most wholesome ways of serving meats.
and yet how seldom we broil instead
Of frying or baking! One of the OBJ
jections offered against broiling is that
1t "seems so wasteful of the juices"
and also that 1t means standing over n
hot stove watching and holding the
broiler.
But there is now on the market n
device which makes broiling much
pleasanter task all around. This CON
sists Of metal plate, fitting over the
stove, on top of which is rack where
the meat rests. 1t require very little
fuel, and no watching. because the
plate protects the flame from actually
getting to the meat and prevents it
from ever blazing. The fat drains Off,
but as the outer surface is quickly
scared none Of the good meat juices
can escape.

TOKYO STREETS A PUZZLE

Tokyo is made up of group of small
towns which expanded until, like the

most conservative city in Japan. and is
the one most lacking in unity of spirit.
Each district has its own market and
Its own shops. Homes and stores are
mixed together In bewildering cOnfu-

hard to find their way about the

NATURE HOLDS BALANCE EVEN
Creatures That Prey, and Those That
Are Preyed Upon, Have Natural
increase Limited.

However smart and awake to the
frequent dangers that may at any
time assail them, the creatures that
ure preyed upon are often caught; the
preying ones get them from time to
time. and If this were not so they
would increase beyond all bounds. 1t
Is true also that those that prey often
so hungry and they, too, have enemies
or diseases, which later amount to the
same thing in the struggle for exist
ence and the limiting of numbers So
nicely is nature balanced as gen.
ernl thing between the killers and the
killed that IL but an unusual influence

carnivorous creatures in any neighbOr-
hood. or the growing up OF an addi-
tionnl amount of cover. there will be u
falling Off. on the one hand, or con-
siderable increase, on the other, Of
those animals that are preyed upon.
Thus Is seen the influence, both
ways, of mans part in natures COM
plicated contest. The gunners and
trappers weigh heavily in overbalanc-
ing the otherwise normal balance
against both flesh and vegetable eat
ers, and where. in the unusual good
ness of his heart man has endeavored
nearly all Wild life. the result Is
shown by rapid increase among the
protected animals.

Paper Napkin Is Passing.

The American paper napkin is rapid
ly passing out of existence. The pa-
per manufacturers have threatened to
stop making them altogether. During
the last year they have steadily in
creased the price, but the cheaper res
taurants have clung tenaciously to the
paper napkin idea and gone on de-
manding them. The laundering con-
nected with the cotton variety was con-
sidered too much Of nuisance. Now,
however, one by one, each large paper
firm has quietly dropped its paper nap
kin trade. AS one firm declared last
weeks > 1--WE have been making 1000
600 paper napkins day. and even so
cannot keep up with the demand. There
is more money in other lines of goods,
and we can no longer afford to. spare

Fire Loss in United States.

If one could Imagine all the build.
ings destroyed by fire In the United
States in year arranged along one
highway, each building occupying
lot 65 feet wide. the highway would
extend from New York to Chicago,
and the buildings would line 1t on
each side. Such Is the calculation of
the department of interior. Further
more, person travelling this scene of
desOlation would pass in every thou
sand feet a ruin from which an in.
jured person has been taken. AT every
three-quarters of II mile he would en-
counter the remains of human be-
Ing who had been burned to death.
For years, 1t is estimated, the
value Of actual property annually
consumed by fire in this country
reaches 50,OOO.0OO, and another sum.
of about like proportions is spent for
the maintenance of fire departments,
waterworks, insurance premiums. etc,
to prevent still greater losses.-Cleve.

WORDS OF WISE MEN

It is on the anvil Of trial by the
blows of sacrifice and Of sorrow
that the life Of man is shaped
to its noblest form.
Reading furnishes the mind
only with materials Of knowl-
edge; 1t is thinking that makes
what we read ours.
This is the true nature Of home
it is the place of peace; the
shelter not only from all injury,
but from all terror, doubt and d.
vision.
Greatness lies not In being
strong. but In the right using of
strength. and strength is not
used rightly when 1t serves only
to carry u man above his fellows
for his own solitary glory. He
is the greatest whose strength
carries up the most hearts by the
attraction of his own.

busting it over with flour. Melt four
ta5lespOOnfuls of butter or drippings
in saucepan, and when smoking hot
put in the goose and keep turning 1t
over and over until brown on all sides.
Add one carrot and one onion cut in
hin slices, a bunch Of herbs, One-half
cupful Of stock, one teaspOOnful of
salt, and One-half teaspOonful of pep
per. Cook for five minutes with the
lid on the pan, then add enough wa
ter or stock to one-half cover the
goose. Cover and cook slowly for two
hours, or until the goose Is tender.
Basic the bird occasionally with the
stock, adding more II necessary, but
the amount of liquid should be kept
rather low. Serve the goose on a hot
dish with some of the gravy poured
round, and SO cooked chestnuts as n
garnish.
To prepare the chestnuts: First
roast them, and when nearly tender re-
move the shells and under skin. Then
put the chestnuts into saucepan

full Of sugar, and one teaspoonful OF
salt. Allow them to cook until the
stock is reduced and the chestnuts art
nicely glazed. Sufficient for six o.

If it takes nine tailors to make

And if the worst is yet to

If you should look not upon
