Keeping Younq,

When DR.. Anna Howard Shaw was
asked how she kept so young she re-
piled that, though it may have been
running for trains all her life, yet she
Is rather inclined to think that mental
activity and constitutional cheerful
ness are always responsible for keep
ing young.
"a woman whose mind is active does
not realize that she is not always at
exactly the same age" said DR.. Shaw;
therefore she never grows old. 1t is
not the mental activity that keeps her
young; she is young. My advice to
those who are growing old is to keep
busy. The really important thing in
life to me is to be so absorbed by a
great fundamental principle and to be
so inspired by a love of humanity that
you forget everything else. This is the
fountain of eternal youth"

Pride and Wealth.

Wealth built a splendid mansion ale
invited Pride to inspect it. Pride came
gladly, but found fault with the house
and everything in it, from cellar to
garnet.

good carpets and furniture, and Well
TODD has more costly draperies and
pictures and a much more elegant
main staircase. Furthermore, l see
you have consulted Convenience in re-
gard to some Of the arrangements, and
this can construe only as a bitter in
suit to myself"
To placate Pride, Wealth sold his
house for a fraction Of its value and
built far more costly one. This time
Luxury and not Convenience was con-
suited, and the result pleased Pride SO
well that he took up permanent quar-.
tiers in the mansion. He invited in
his comrades, Vanity, Ostentation and
Productivity. Wealth was the only one
who could not see that the house he
had paid for belonged, not to himself.
but to Pride.

Joy In Trying.

Do not allow yourself to just drift
along through life. Set before you an
aim, some real purpose. Cultivate hope
and ambition to accomplish something.
Do not be contented to let things hap
pen; make things happen. Whatever
your business or occupation aim to ex-
eel in it. Financial gain Is not all one
gets from labor well performed. Your
character is elevated and your mind is
enlarged, and the satisfaction In hav-
ing done well is the most real JOY.
Don't be afraid to set your aim high.
Gid it with your highest ideals. Let
the hope Of its attainment nerve your
every act. Turn incidents and circum-
stances toward the attainment of your
aim. If you have no aim you reach
nowhere. A life without a purpose Is
a dreary thing without real Joy. Sup
pose you fail to reach the heights you
have set as your standard; you will
have gone higher than If you had not
striven. You viii be more useful, OF
more worth, than II you had not tried

Embroidery DESIGNS,

Here are suggestions for transfer
ring the embroidery design before you
to any material:
Perhaps the easiest way is the Twin
dowpane" method. This is successful
when the material is thin, like linen,
batiste, etc. Pin the sheet of paper and
the material together and hold them up
against the glass of window. With a
sharp pencil draw on the material the
design, which can be easily seen
through the goods. If one-half of the
design is given unpin the paper and
turn the other side to the fabric.
If you have carbon paper you should
place the sheet between the fabric and
the newspaper. The latter is on top.
With a sharp pencil go over the out
line Of the design. The impression will
be left in fine lines and will last until
worked.-Exchange.

Watering Plants Drop by Drop.

Lucien Daniel, French botanist, has
made some experiments with cabbages,
chicory, lettuce, etc., which prove that
they thrive far better by a system of
continuous watering than by drench-
ing the soil thoroughly every other day.
The new method, which is simplicity
itself, depends upon the law of capil-
larry attraction. AS presented to the
Academy of Sciences in Paris it con-
sists Of placing near each plant large
mouthed jar containing water, in which
is dipped one end Of a strip of linen
or cotton whose other end lies near the
plant. Mr.. Daniel determined the ex-
act amount Of water required by any
given plant for its best development
and proved that in general this unin-
terrupted supply Of water, drop by
drop, gave infinitely better results than
the usual method Of intermittent
drenching and with a minimum eX-
penditure of water.-Literary Digest.

n an address before the Leading ear,
nose and throat specialists OF the coun-
try DIR. Hill Hastings of Los Angeles
recently called attention to the danger
of a persons swimming, and particu-
larly diving, when he has a cold in the
head. Comparatively few persons rea-
lie that it is dangerous, and many
even believe that when they have re-
covered from a cold and are still an
noyed by excessive thick secretiOns in
the nose they can find relief by diving
or plunging the head under water The
purulent matter washed out is not only
a danger to others, says Dr. Hastings
but the diver himself runs a risk of
forcing some Of the pus into his middle
ear. Most specialists have observed
that cases of mastoid abScess are COM
mon every summer during the swim
ming season. At the large ear, nose
and throat hospitals it is recognized
that the swimming season invariably
brings on "a crop of mastoids." The
advice to keep out of the water until a
head cold" is entirely cleared up can
not be too strongly emphasized.

How War Comes.

The precedents of history show that
the great majority Of the worlds con-
ficts have been>begun before formal
declarations of war were made. Ac-
cording to authorities on International
law, condition of war arises In three
ways:
First.-Declaration Of war.
Second.-A proclamation or manifes-
to declaring that a state of war ex-
lists.
Third.-Through the commission of
hostile acts of force.
One authority on international law,
describing ways in which hostilities
may begin without formal declaration,
says, ACTS Of force by way Of reprisals
or during a pacific blockade or during
an Intervention might be forcibly re-
sisted, hostilities breaking out
in this way."-New York World

SORE THROAT.

Probably the most fatal disease in
some respects is a certain form of
throat infection. There are many
forms of throat malady. 1t takes an
expert to differentiate the different
types. The treatment for the mildest
type is not the proper treatment for
the deadly type. At the beginning of
the disease, on the first day, all types
are more or less uniform in appearance,
which makes it clear that the physician
alone should be consulted and not any
other person, circumstances notwith-
standing.
The physician alone can tell a case
of diphtheria in time to save the life
of that type of ''sore throat" and even
the doctor of medicine must have the
aid of the bacteriologist or micro
scopist expert in order to follow his
first life saving, positive and specific
curative dose with scientific and indi-
Gated remedies.
Every beginning sore throat is a
possible case of diphtheria. The time
TO save the life of the patient who
is a sufferer of diphtheritic sore throat
is lost if antitoxin is not given soon
enough. Soon enough is on the first
day of the disease sometimes. Only

physician can be expected to know
when and how to give antitoxin, and
which type of sore throat needs it.
1t is false economy to attempt the
treatment of any disease without the
benefit of the light of medical science
known to physicians and allied scien-
lists. And metaphysical science is a
part of the accomplishment of the ac-
complished physician of the advanced
century in which We have the privi-
lege of spreading our good or i'll infu-
ence. 1t is exceedingly poor economy
to trife away the precious first or Sec
ond day in treating any throat infee
ton, blindly hoping that it is not the
deadly type which is known technically
as diphtheria.
1t is sad to see what useless and ri
diculous "remedies uniformed but
well meaning persons apply sometimes,
blindly and tragieally in an uneven
battle against that formidable foe, the
sore throat producer, the germ called
the bacillus of diphtheria.
Be vigilant and take no chances with
what you are not prepared to even
diagnose to say nothing of the matter
of precise and proper treatment. Alert
medical men act in sore throat against
the diphtheria germ speedily and safely
before the diagnosis is definitely es-
tablished. 1t is the law.

Famishing Bird Attempts to Feast on
Parrot.


Green Bay, Wis.-Polly, parrot, the
companion Of Mrs. William Anderson,
was preening herself in the sunshine
at the window Of the front room when
a hawk, swooping down, crashed
through the window glass.
Before the bleeding bird Of prey could
reach the parrot with its talons Polly
scared out through the same hole and
perched in an apple tree. Polly set up
a frightened chatter that brought her
mistress, who couldn't imagine how
she got out Of the room. Mrs. Ander-
son hurried out and to the window,
where she saw the havoc and the great
hawk Hopping about the floor, sprink-
ling blood all over her erstwhile i'm
maculate parlor.
When Mrs. Anderson and a neighbor
had pinned it down and chopped of its
head they found it three feet five
inches from tip to tip. The bird was
thin and seemed nearly starved, prob
ably, they thought, because of the deep
snow.

Cuts of Meat and caIorifie Value.

The kind or cut of meat used does
not usually make much difference in
the full or calorific value.
There is popular belief that porter
house steak and other choice cuts of
beef represent the highest forms of
nourishment to be obtained. This is,
however, a misconception. The full
value of brisket or ribs of beef, as wei
as mutton and lamb, exceeds the much
desired tenderloin steak.
According to Langworthy, expert in
charge of nutrition investigation of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, for all practical, everyday pur-
poses it may be considered that the
protein obtained from a given weight
Of meat differs very little either with
the kind Of meat or the cut"
