CYRUS H. K. CURTIS

There is probably no man in the United States who speaks to so many people as Cyrus H. K. Curtis. Daily and weekly he is in contact with sey- eral million people throughout the country through his publications, The Saturday Evening Post, The Ladies Home Journal, the Country Gentle man and the Philadelphia Public Led- ger. MT. Curtis today celebrates his sixty-seventh birthday. He was born in Portland, Me. MT. Curtis's first experience as a publisher was. with little paper called Young America, of which he was editor. publisher. staff and office boy. His first real effort was with the Boston Indepen- dent, which did not turn out success fully and left MT. Curtis, who had just married. penni1ess and with noth- ing to do, except to find ways and means to pay his debts. And he paid every one of them, with interest In 1876 MT. Curtis went to Philadelphia and became publisher of the Tribune and! Farmer. He started a depart ment devoted to the fair sex and it ] made great hit, because it was a new thing in those days. The success of this idea led Mr. Curtis to found a publication devoted exclusively to women and, with the assistance of his wife, he launched the Ladies' Home Journal. Being firm believer in | advertising MT. Curtis secured credit for $400 from an advertising agency and spent the whole sum in one big ad. From the publication of that ad up to the present day the Ladies
 Home Journal has been growing if nancia1 success. Some time later MT Curtis bought the Saturday Evening Post, direct descendant of a periodi- cal founded by Benjamin Franklin ir | TIPS. This is today one of the mos
 prosperous and popular publications
 in the world. MT. Curtis success rs
 attributed in a great measure to his
 willingness to learn. When he pur.
 chased the Philadelphia Public Ledg. CT he personally undertook to learr
 all about newspaper conditions from
 every angle and with a corps of ex. lperts went to London to study Eng.
 fish methods so as to adapt their bes
 features to his own newspaper. Ed.

 TODAY'S POEM ! .~~~~~~~~| THE PATH THAT LEADS BACK
 HOME

Out from the noisy town it leads, Where malice and deceit are rife; Out from the realm where pride is
 queen,
 Where men control in. heartless
 strife.
 No voice disturbs the quietness That thrills, me as again I roam By flowery fields, a boy again. And seek the way that leads back
 home. The robin choir glad welcome gives, Clear calling in their lofts of green; The melody of singing brooks Is mingled with the summer sheen. Mid quiet wales my way leads on Through aisles of emerald and
 chrome, Foretelling joys soon to be mine For 'tis the way that leads back
 home. N Let those who will leave homely paths To find hearts ease in lands afar; Let those who will, contentment seek On rolling seas, 'peath alien star; But give to me, humbly ask, The joy I know, as through the
 gloasn I turn from all the world can give To seek the way that leads back
 home.

St. Juliana Falconieri

Preparations are being made in the Church of the Annunziata in Flor ence to celebrate tomorrow the day dedicated to St. Juliana Falconieri, who, according to ancient chronicles twas born in answer to prayer A. D.. 1270." Her uncle, Alexius, was one of the founders of the Servite Order and under his care Juliana grew up. ''Her devotion to the sorrows of Our Lady" says the chronicler, "drew her to the Servants of Mary; and at the age of fourteen she refused an offer of marriage and received the habit from St. Philip Benizi himself" St. Juliana by her works of pfety at tracted many other young people to the cloistered life. She was always to be found ministering to the poor and the sick. It is said that her pray CTS saved the Servite Order from sup pression. She died at the age of sev- enty from an illness of the stomach which prevented her from taking food. She was mourned by hundreds within and without the church.

WATERLOO.

Today is the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, which was fought just 102 years ago. That battle to- day has greater significance than ever before, because, as Europe United in 1915 to save itself from the domina- tion of one man, so is the world unit ed today in fighting a greater menace than ever was threatened by the con- quests of Napoleon. Two years ago there was to have been a celebration Of the one-hundredth anniversary of that heroic struggle and those who, previously, had signified their inten- ton of joining in the celebration were the English, Belgians. French and
 Germans. Waterloo has become the
 common heritage of humanity. It signffied the defeat of the over-ambi- tious. What place will give it's name to the destruction of the great menace
 which the world is now united in com
 batting? Up to the time of the out
 break of the present war great care
 had been taken to leave the battlefield
 of Waterloo unchanged. The war has, of course, rendered all attempts at preservation useless. A brief account
 of the battle of Waterloo Is interest ing at this time. Napoleon, having recovered his throne in March 1S15,, l mustered two hundred thousand men to oppose the allied sovereigns, who had nearly 8 million men at their command. The British and Prussians | were gathered in the Netherlands and on June 18th Napoleon advanced to
 attack them, before they were aware of his movements. His strategy, as
 usual, was brilliant. In rapid success
 sion he, assaulted the separate bodies of British and Prussians at Ligny and Quatre Bras and when he began the
 battle of Waterloo on June 1S against
 bot he had the advantage. It is gen. eralIy agreed that he would have won
 that contest if 1t had not been for
 the heroic stand of the. British in
 fantry. The arrival of the Prussians definitely threw the balance of the
 scale in favor of the British. The set- Iting sun witnessed the retreat of Ma tpoleon's veterans of hundred bat ties who were dispersed, never to re- assemble again. It was at the same time the signal for the end of the most brilliant military career the world had ever seen. The allied casualties for the day were 22.378, of whom 4,172 were killed. The British who took lpart numbered about 22,000.

FROM "soNG OF THE CREEKS g

Again to the battle, Achaians, Our hearts bid the tyrants defiance! Our land, the first garden of Liberty's
 tree, It has been, and shall yet be, the land
 of the. free! 1 A breath of submission we breathe
 not. The sword that we've drawn we will
 sheathe not; It's scabbard is left where our martyrs
 are laid And the vengeance of ages has
 whetted it's blade. Earth may hide, waves ingulf, fire
 consume us, But they shall not to slavery doom us; Old Greece lightens up with emotion; Her inlapds, her isles of the ocean, Fanes rebuilt, and fair towns, shall
 with jubilee ring. And the Nine shall new-hal1ow their Helicon spring; Our hearts shall be kindled in glad
 ness That were cold and extinguished in
 sadness.

ON THE FARMS.

M. A. G. writes: @We girls clap our hands with joy. Young men from col leges, business men, clerks and labor CTS of all ages come to work on our farms. Preference is given to hus- bands who have dependent wives and children. Till now quite a few mar ried men not yet of middle age have failed to support their wives and chill dren. Will this opportunity compel them. when they know that they can till the soil profitably, to support these dependents?
 Yes, at the end of the allotted time, if they fail to take this good chance to support their families side by side with younger men, there seems no alternative but to send them to court to decide.

HER POWDER PUFF

Sadie writes: s"The pleasure I had in going out to walk with a devoted young man one afternoon was strange 1y nipped in the bud. As we loitered took out my lace handkerchief. In one corner of it was tiny, unnotice- able pocket. Each morning put a fresh powder puff in this pocket. As took out the puff and put my hand kerchief slyly over it my escort drop ped my arm, excused himself and, raising his hat, hurried off, leaving me alone. He hasn't visited me since.''
 Evidently he was not used to your using powder. Girls are admired for the pure, natural complexion. s

WED WHERE HER
 PARENTS TIED THE KNOT

A. K. writes: 'tMy plans are upset. My fancee and never disagreed ex- cepting on one point This is the most important thing in our lives. I can not leave my business and told her so. I asked her to mary me not far from my business or at her home if she chose. The trouble is that she up- set my plans, insisting that we must marry in another state where her pa rents had married nearly forty years ago. Both are dead. Her many friends live here.''
 If you have reasoned out where it is convenient and best to wed, your fiancee should gladly consent to be married where her friends are in a place convenient to you both.

Husbands Scarce So
 Women Must "Doll Up"

Rome, June Regarding editor ial criticisms of women who continue to wear fine clothes, despite the war, Miss Elvira SpinaA has protested to the ,editorA of the Giornale D'Itaua in a letter as follows:
 The simple and sad truth is that it does not pay to be a modestly dress ed woman. Let me make a confes- sion. The woman who forces herself to live quietly, to dress unattractively, goes unobserved. The other woman who makes an elaborate toilette, who wears fIashy clothes, is admired, courted. loved, married. These days husbands are scarce.s So what are we to do, how can we resist ternpta- ton? Peace time, war time, men are the same. Change the men and then we, too, will change"

FRUIT JUICES.

Fruit juices for use later in jelly making can be sterilized and bottled without sugar and made into jellies at the housewife's> convenience. This enables her to do with fewer jelly glasses and to distribute her Purchases of sugar for jelly making through the year. Moreover, with the bottled juice she can make a greater variety of jellies. as juices which will not jell can be put up when the fruit is ripe and combined later, with fruits that will jell. or fruits ripening at differenf seasons can be combined. For ex- ample, the juice of strawberries, cher ries, or pineapple can be kept without sugar and later when apples are plen- tiful can be made into combination jelly.
