APPLYING THE GOLDEN RULE

No rule is worth much unless il is
applied, but when you lay the rule
against your work and mark off its
several divisions, the rule begins TO
become a vital element in your day.
Life is perhaps the only thing which
we dare to conduct without refer
ence to strict rules, and this, the
most important of our possessions,
we are prone to conduct in a most
haphazard fashion. We go bungling
through the world with much beg
ging of pardons and with many in
juries uncondoned, for a prompt Il
beg your pardon" does not always
take away the hurt. Jesus gave us
the Golden Rule as part of a state
ment of the bounteous spiritual gifts
which are ours for the asking. But,
having told us to ask of the Father
the good things which He is ready
to give, he continues with the word.
therefore" Reasoning, then, from
effect back to cause, we find our
selves led to regard the keeping of
the Golden Rule as the key to the
promised blessings. After all, keep
ing the Golden Rule is merely mat
ter of thoughtfulness and unweary-
ing kindness, for most of our un-
kindness is the result of thoug esS-
ness. The Golden Rule is positive, t
things which we prefer people not to
do to us, but it tells us to do them
and for them those things which
would please us at their hand. We
like to hear that someone has spoken
we'll of us in our absence; we like
sympathy; we dislike temper, and
we loathe satire and the wit that
stings. We like to find little things
done for us when we come home at
night; we like a CHEEKY word of
greeting. If our task is hard we like
an understanding. an unobtrusive
lift. We like to think of things that
are worth while, and we dislike
speech that is unclean or unworthy.
1t is probable that others like much
tho same things that we like, and
keeping in mind the possible likes of
others. with thoughtfulness and tact
we will be able to live the Golden
Rule, and living 1t. find each new
day more glorious and happy than
those that went before.-The Chris
tian Herald.

War Brides May Release
Conscripts From Service

Trenton, July 27.-According to the
Interpretation placed by the military
authorities here on a letter just re-
ceived from Provost Marshal General
Crowder in reply to inquiries, drafted
men who have married or who shall
marry before they are called for ex-
animation. will not have to serve in
the conscriptive army. If their brides
are dependent upon them. 1t is ex-
pected that this ruling will result in
a rush for marriage licenses through
out the country in the next few days.
The impression has heretofore pre-
vailed that registered young men who
married after June did so only to
be in a position to claim exemption
and that their marriage would be re-
garded as an attempt to evade the
selective service act and would not
be recognized as a bonafide claim.
This part of the Provost Marshars
letter seems to upset this impression
and to establish a reverse ruling: I'm
reference to marriage after June 5,
1917, it would seem IN like manner
that the claim of discharge because
of dependency should be determined
at the date of calling. If the person
called is then a married man and has
a wife at that time depending upon
his labor in the sense in which that
term is used in the rules and regula-
tions, II would seem that he could
be discharged from the service If in
the opinion of the board the claim is
substantiated.

FOOD IS Conserved,

Kissel Says Oats Could Be
Used for Human Con-

Eliminated by Gasoline

III motor trucks and tractors were
entrusted with the work now being
done by horses, one great stroke in the
conservation of food would be accom-
plished," said G. A. Kissel, president OF
the Kissel Motor Car company.
Eighteen quarts of oats is the aver
age daily consumption of a work horse
during the open season. At least IT,
600, 900 Of the 25,Ooo,oOO horses in this
country come under that classification.
During the winter six quarts a day is
sufficient for each. This means 1876
bushels of mts per horse per year. OF
a total of 2,290.DO0 bushels. This, with
out taking into account the 100000
horse population not included in the
work horse class.
There is no more nourishing food
for human beings than oatmeal, so. il
this country should unfortunately come
to the necessity of regulated rations
what a boon it would be if q few mil
lion horses should be replaced by motor
trucks.
