Heathan Shrinaa.

After months spent in idolatrous
lands have been unable to see much
real worship in heather shrines. The
educated worship with their tongues
in their cheeks and the ignorant with
their hearts in their mouths But the
amount of real worship that exists in
heather temples IS very small.
Sometimes q bereaved mother will
enter the temple and draw from her
kimono the tiny bib Of departed lit
tie one and tie it to the statue Of Jizo,
the god of motherhood. Sometimes an
old man or woman, almost blind, will
enter the temple and rub the eyes Of
wooden god and then rub his own in
the hope that eternal darkness may
not close in on his afrighted soul In
some places Buddhist services are as
dignifed, as well attended and as help
full as our own.-Maynard Owen VII

Graphite, says the Scientific Ameri-
can, is not a lubricant, but an aid to
keeping bearing in good working Or
der by filling up the minute Irregular
ties Of the shaft and bearing and pro-
ducing beautiful polished surface
and in this way reduces friction. To
get this result only a very small guam
tity of graphite is necessary, and II
too much is applied it simply collects
in wads and defeats the purpose In
tended. 1t follows that the proper way
to use graphite successfully is to mix
thoroughly small quantity with the
lubricating oil at suitable intervals and
not to apply it continuously, for when
the above mentioned polished surface
Is formed it will last quite lolng time
before requiring renewal.

that he could write no more about this
American league. And then the mill
tary press bureau sent out statement
to the effect that the real object of
the league was to bring the United
States into the war to aid Great Brit

Needless to say, no one wanted to

That is the military method of pre-

lily see that as long as the people are

Today the people have such faith In

long as the government can defend the
nation from invasion. Germany is held
together today by faith in victory. The
government has promised the people
ultimate victory by using submarines.
The government has to make good

Two American doctors
who were inspecting prison
camps in East Prussia short
ly before diplomatic rela-
tons were broken stopped
one evening at a small inn,
where they had to spend the
night. Their arrival was
soon known in the village.
About 10 o'clock an old man
entered the Town Kaffee
where they were sitting and
introduced himself, with the
remark that he had a son in
New York. The physicians,
DIR. John A. Roller and DIR.
Frank II. Harms, of Chicago,
invited the old man to sit
down.
During the conversation which fol-
lowed the American asked him about
the food situation.
WELL" replied the East Prussian,
I'VE don't have everything we used to
have. but we get along" and then, with
tears in his eyes, he added: Our
kaiser. our kaiser, he provides every
thing"
When Americans ask why the Ger
man people don't overthrow the gov
eminent, I cite this story as one Of
the reasons. East Prussia is as loyal
as this old citizen because the kaiser
and Won Hindenburg stopped the Rus
sian invasion in 1914, and because the
kaiser is personally overseeing the re-
building of tho destroyed sections,
HINDENeURo is GERMAN GOD.
But East Prussia is not representa-
tive of entire Geramny. Bavarians
have no such love for Wilhelm of Ho-
henzollern. People in Berlin. who do
not have as much food as the farmers
of East Prussia, don't believe that the
kaiser can provide everything. Sols
diers at the front don't have the con-
fidence in the kaiser that they have in
general staff is the German god today,
and he dictates not by the emperors
choice but by the peoples. The kaiser
never wanted to name Won Hindenburg
