Whole Truth of Buddhism.

Dorm Zenshi, Il great Buddhist priest.
once lived on top of tree in noun

priest" Some one interrupted his
meditation one day with the following
question:
What in a nutshell is the truth Of
Buddha's religion?"
"Eschew all sins and practice all
virtues" replied the priest. without
opening his eyes.
"Oh, is that all?' said the man sar-
castically. Gwen a child of three years
can say that"
Eyes, even a child Oh three years can
say that" reioined the priest, but. an
old man Of eighty years cannot put it

neglect his health and not consult

THE CANNING KITCHEN

There is a place OF savory grave,
Most scrupulously clean,
Where every pots without a spot,
And sterilized each bean,
Where system rules the very tools.
And every cooks a queen!
There day by day the gold and gray.
From howell and estate,
Brings garden truck to try their luck
Before it is too late,
For Hoover claims that frugal danes
Can seal nations fate!
O, you may knit and do your bit.
Or you may cut and sew,
Or you may strive car to drive.
Or WELD a spade or hoe.
But there's thrill when jars YOU fill
None but preservers know!
For there is JOY without alloy
In saving every beet;
To put up jam for Uncle Sam
Is solemn work-and sweet!
And stripes and stars with rows Of
jars
May keep us from defeat!

also that there is record of the first
actress who ever appeared on the
stage, women, prior TO the fifteenth
century, being forbidden by the church
to participate in theatrical perform
ances of any kind whatsoever.
The pageant chosen for the inaugu-
ration Of the National Sylvan theater
was written by Mrs. Christian Hem
mick OF New York city, who was sup
ported by number Of eminent Ameri-
can players and by many people proml-
nent socially in Washington. Said Mrs.
Hemmick of her theater:
"The government supports every
form Of art but the drama. 1t encour-
ages and supports public libraries, IL
maintains art galleries, il has even
gone on record as appropriating money
to support music. Witness the United
States Marine band In Washington.
"The drama, the greatest of all these
arts In the scope of its appeal, has
been neglected by the government. The
theater itself Is one Of the most potent
factors In American life and reaches
more people daily than all the schools,
churches, Libraries and art galleries
combined. These facts, of course, are
driven home to anybody who has lived
abroad and has seen the support and
recognition the drama receives from
continental nations.
aside from this aspect Of the thea
ter it must not be forgotten that the
stage has always proved most power
ful medium for the exploitation Of pa
triOtism, honor, courage, self sacrifice
and the nobler virtues OF life.
This is where the National Sylvan
theater really comes I'm and where a
government owned theater will be Of
inestimable value to public life, moral
ity and education In the future. Just
as the government, through public Ii
braries, public art galleries and public
bands and orchestras, educates and up
lifts the great mass OF people to what
they should read, see or hear in the
realms OF literature, art and music, so
must the government eventually recog-
nize the fact that through the medium
OF the stage ii must contribute to the
public the right sort Of dramatic enter
tainment, which will go long way In
shaping national thought, conduct and
morality"

FALL TIPS.
Collars Are veerins Over
Into Tailored Effects Now.

Have you noticed the collar changes
on dresses and suits? They are decid-
edly different from the big sailor and
capuchin effects that have finished
gowns, fashionable and otherwise, for
the past three or four seasons-that is,
when the collar has been permitted to
exist at all.
Those collars that have timidly made
their way back are narrow, trig and
mannish when a component OF the trot-
comes more conspicuous it fiattens out,
assumes greater breadth and inclines to
the ornate.
Up to the present moment there
seems no place In the revised scheme
Of fashion for the halfway collar. 1t
must be small, after the manner OF the
shawl or tuxedo collar, or large, like the
muslin neckpieces featured In the por-
traits OF women painted by Rembrandt,
Frans Halls or Rubens.
Those that follow the Dutch idea may
be OF satin, linen or cloth, preferably
the first named, with here and there an
exception In favor of fillet lace
1t may be that there Is some relation,
speaking in tailored sense. between
the neat tuxedo collar on the little
frock Of satin or serge and the mannish
sailor hat Of pineapple straw with its
band Of polka dot or striped silk.
Or the adoption of khaki uniforms by
women I'm government employ may have
its influence in shaping the neck finish
Of new gowns and suits. However this
may be, It Is certain that the present. is
transition period in style accessories
as they have to do with collars.
1t is something Of a relief to see the
narrow collar. 1t is part Of the low
cut, crossover front of dresses of serge
or satin, and, according TO the depth Of
the opening, there may be introduced
the plastron Of satin or linen cut either
high or low. Usually narrow cuffs ac-
company such collar.

SALTS If BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots Of water and stop eating
meat for . while If your bladder
troubles you

When you wake up with bacliache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen.
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says a well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort OF
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have baokache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult @ good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass Of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine 30 it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.

meat eaters. II is inexpensive, cannot

Mr.. Rabbit was a little surprised,

settled it that whichever won should
be treated TO fine dinner. Mr.. Rab-
bit said he would have nice juicy
cabbage. Mr.. Tortoise didn't care for
cabbages, but he liked baby fish out Of
the brook and juicy worms.

you can beat me you may have all

Then they started off, Mr.. Rabbit

So Mr.. Rabbit rested awhile and,
when he saw Mr.. Tortoise catching up,
leaped ahead. Then he sat down for
another rest.
But this time he didn't see Mr.. Tor

and he was snoring when his rival pass

When Mr.. Rabbit did awaken and
