of grapes is evidently not we'll under

to-date, enterprising Y. NJ C. A.?
Why it's simply unthinkable
So closely this institution has become inter-
woven with municipal life in all civilized COM
n1unities, that it is as much part of our fixed
social system as to attract notice only because Of
it's absence.
Most of the army units at the front and in the
training camps include more men than ordinarily
are served-get that word served for therein is
the secret of Y. NJ G. A. success-by any of the
states numerous progressive, modern associa-
tions.
They are as much entitled to Y. M. c. A. ben
efits as the fellows back home.
Yet, Uncle Sam doesn't include an association
building and organization in his military estab-
lishment. He leaves that to patriotic enlighten-
ed citizenship, to whom he attributes enough
genuine Christianity to see to it that the boys in
uniform are not deprived Of the advantages of
the Y. NJ. c. A.
You say you have contributed? Well, it hasn't
been much, now honor bright, has it?
So come again! Make this latest contribu-
ton one that really counts. It's for an institu-
ton that counts and counts big with the boys who
have gone forth to mingle with many things that
lack much of being as attractive as Y. NJ. G. A
Surely they deserve all you can afford toward
frightening their days far from home, where sun
shine may be available only from within
The success of this war against the Huns
against the enemies of freedom, must not be al
the expense of the moral standards of the Youth
of America It will not be, if each does his part

Dissipation and Concentration

These words explain most successes and fail
uGes in life.
Usually the man who gives exclusive atten-
ton to one all-absorbing problem and masters its
intricacies, becomes a true master and as result
reaps his reward in money and honor or in the
supreme satisfaction that follows every deed we'll
performed.
The man who scatters his efforts over wide
field, refuses neglects to apply himself dg-
emily to each duty, as if it were the highest in
this world, has to declare himself failure when
he reaches the October days of life.
Dissipation of necessity does not include only
transgressions of the moral code such as ruth
less disregard of temperance and wild plunge
into frivolity and lewdness.
One may dissipate as easily in the realms of
industry thought as in morals. A tramp is a
good example of man who is untrue to his vo-
cational calling, and Jack of all trades and
master of none" is patent illustration of the
same principle. A student who does not give
close mental application to his studies deserves
the predicate of being dissolute. man who ac-
cepts any conclusion without examining the
premises is intellectual libertine.
Edison's greatest asset is concentration. It
enables him to win victories in the domain of sci
ence where others fail turn back in disgust.
Given problem that seems inexplicable and Edi-
son forgets to eat and sleep until by profound
concentration of his mental apparatus he has
solved the enigma.
Great thinkers, inventors, painters or music
ians have mastered the faculty of concentration.
In fact, they are great because they became alb
sorbed Il ;lleir life's work to the exclusion of al
most every factor that did not aid them in their
callings.
Why not ask ourselves whether we are dissi-
pating concentrating energies. Are we
giving exclusive attention to some one thing so
as to become highly proficient? Are we going
about our work with an absorbing diligence and
faithfulness that will lead us forward? Let each
answer for himself

STORING OUTDOORS IN
BARRELS a GOOD PLAN
An Inexpensive and Convenient
System is Explained.

= 80 -
An inexpensive and convenient system
OF storing vegetables out doors is the use
OF empty salt barrels. These barr,ls
are placed in the ground threefourths
OF their depth and the soil packed around
then to the tops. Well-drained soil
must be chosen and the location should
be easily accessible to the house.
In storing apples, winter pears, and
cabbage choose only the SC und Kind, and
each apple, pear or or cabbage should be
wrapped separately in piece Of paper.
Each barrel is packed to within about
ten inches of the top, the remaining
8 )ace being filled with straw.
Wooden covers which fit few inches
over the sides are placed over the
barrels and you can then await the
pleasure of old Jack Frost. AS double
protection, however, earth NAV be
placed over the covers. The contents
do not freeze, and they keep fresh until
the earth thaws in the spring.
1t is best to take the barrels from the
ground in the spring as the soil packs
COO solldly around them if left through
out the summer.
