RELIEF WORK COMMISSION
 FUR SERBIA

The War Council Of the Ame-i- can Red Gross announces the send ing of a commission to Serbia to begin immediately relief work in that stricken country and to help it's scattered population in the struggle against privation and dis ease. Two hundred thousand dol lars has been appropriated by the War Council to buy medical and other supplies for use among re- fugees on the Macedonian front
 Miss Simmonds urges the dis patch of food, clothing, bandages, blankets, seeds. agricultural tools, as well as of doctors and nurses. In her informal report to the Red Cross, she said:
 There were only four hundred doctors in all Servia at the begin ming of the war, and the death rate has been high. Sixty died of typhus alone in January and Feb ruary, 1915. There are Il6 die tors now in the Army, but only one dentist. Women doctors are especially needed for maternity work in the villages. One doctor in a small car could furnish medi- al supervision for several villages. A system of soup kitchens in the vil- ages is an absolute necessity if famine is not to make good its threats this winter"

Paying the Price

We are always paying the price for the
things we lose or gain.
Out of this life of the mingled gift of glad
ness and of pain;
And whether we pay for pleasure or
whether we pay for sin,
1t is always paying the price for life, no
matter where we begin.
We say we have had lot. we've en-
joyed and we've shared in the BEST
We sit sometimes with little dream of
old content in the breast;
And then when we look away and think of
the things that were nice,
1t all comes over us, lucky or sad that
we've had to pay the price.
The magnate pays for his, as the pauper
pays It, too;
And the saint pays just as the sinner does
and the unsaved have to do;
In all that we have and hold, or in all that
we've thrown away,
1t is sure in the end to come to this that
there was a price to pay
We pay 1t for love and peace, for cheer
and comfort and song;
We pay for SHINING and going astray, we
pay it for doing wrong;
In all that we are or seem, in gladness or
grief or pain
We are always paying the price for the
things that we lose or gain.

ly radiance, and she stopped short. In
no other public part Of the vessel could
one--or two-have found greater
privacy.
Two, at least, seemed to have
thought of that. In that fan-shaped
space behind the deckhouse, close by
the singing meter of the log, Craven
stood with Mrs. Merrilees in his arms.
Wholly unaware that they were not
alone, these two chung TO each other,
lips sealing lips in the ecstasy Of long
and passionate embrace, moveless save
as they yielded to the motion of the
ship.
Lydia stood rooted in incredulous
embarrassment. In that pitiless wash
of naked moonlight she could not fail
to recognize the woman. She was Mrs.
Merrilees beyond question, gowned pre-
cisely as she had been that first night
out, forever to be q figure of radiant
loveliness in the galleries Of Lydia's
memory.
But that the other, her lover, could
be Thaddeus Craven-impossible A
passing likeness to his sturdy but
graceful figure-deceiving eyes too
eager to recognize beloved parent: it
could be nothing more than that. I'm
possible that he, her father, could be
the lover of a woman but little older
than herselfl

Language of WindmiIIs.

In Holland births, marriages and
deaths, instead of being recorded in
the newspapers. are indicated by
windmills. When the miller gets mar
ried, he stops his mill with the arms
of the wheel in a slanting position,
and with the sails unfurled. His
friends and guests frequently do like
wise with their mills. in Sken of the
ceremony. To indicate a birth, the
wheel is stopped In a slanting posi-
ton, but at more acute angle than
that of n marriage. and with the two
upper sails unfurled. Should miller
die. the sails of the mill are all I'M
furled, and the wheel is turned around
until the arms form an upright cross,
in which position they are left until
after the funeral takes place.

Hot water is provided electrically
also. The domestic science department
has complete outfit of electric plates
for the use of the individual students,
as well as a large electric range for
baking and cooking on a larger scale.
Practical use is made of the domestic

of hot lunches at noon for all the stu

prices. Meal tickets can be obtained
either for cash or in exchange for such
supplies as milk, eggs and butter.

Farmers Use Current
Power is sold to individuals on the
project but the more economical way
involves group purchases.
Organizations of the farmers have
been formed" said a government Off
cial. Each organization deals with
the reclamation service in purchasing
the power required for the use of all
the members of each organization. 1t
is then distributed over lines construct
ed by each group. One morning last
summer / drove out into the country
about miles from Rupert and stopped
to chat with a homesteader. His
house was modest structure costing
probably not to exceed $3.50. The place
was well shaded with Carolina poplars
and had well-kept white clover lawn
in front.
II observed a power line leading di-
rectly to the house and inquired about
1t. The farmer said he was one of the
directors in the Farmers Electric Co.
and used electricity for many pur-
poses. My curiosity was aroused, and
l went into the house to investigate.
Il found every room lighted and
heated with electricity. In the kitchen
was a large electric range, the very
latest on the market, with four hot
plates, large oven, and a broiler. Wa
ter for stock and household use was
pumped electrically, and the same
force will be used about the barn for
various purposes. This unpretentious
home on farm only four miles from
desert possessed conveniences and up
to-date labor-saving equipment which
probably cannot be found elsewhere
except on the farmsteads of the very
rich in the oldest districts of the coun-

Broiled Lizard PIeases
Marines Palates.

Perhaps broiled lizard will
never find its way to the menu
of fashionable American res
taurants, but Uncle Sans ma
rines attached to the American
legation at Managua, Nicaragua,
have found, as entremets to the
lotus, fried or broiled iguana
steaks, served with a pasty sauce
made from alligator pears, to be
everything claimed by the native
epicures.
The iguana, or giant lizard,
has been used for food by the
natives for many years, and igu-
ana steak finds much favor with
them because of its gamy taste.
The iguana is herbivorous.
