Money Enough to Be Happy.

The American Magazine asked this
question few months ago. One of the
best answers is:
"HoW much money do I need to be
happy? That's easy. | can answer
that without even taking time to stare
into the fire or bat an eyelash-$2, $50
q year. That is enough to live COM
fOrtably, save some and do our share
in the social and religious life of which
we are part. Friends, friends are
the gift of God and can neither be
bought nor sold, so money cannot en-
ter into this phase of the question, for
whether I were a lineup beggar, a
bloated bondholder or just fair to
middling everyday person, true friends
are still friends. Now, why the spe-
cffic amount, $1,000 year? Why not
$4,000 or $4,000? For the simple rca-
son that $1,000 is the exact amount
that my Peter makes, and because with
love enough the amount of money to
make one happy is just what ones
got"

tons women are now pursuing and

those who will need to have opened
to them opportunities for training to
better fit them for their chosen fields
"The necessity of this registration
in order that proper aid and assist
ance may be given to the national
cessful prosecution of the present
war, must be apparent to every wom'
an in Tennessee, and in rendering this
service they will be contributing to
cause in which they are vitality inter
ested, and the history of our woman
hood iustifies the belief that there will
not be a Stacker in all the state III
regard to this important matter"
The registration will tabulate every
grade of service, trained and untral:'
ed. The blanks are printed at gov
eminent expense.
The committee has made a thor
ough study of the methods used in
some other registrations and gives its

Artificial Leqs for Horses.

A new invention of artificial legs for
horses and dogs was offered to the
Philadelphia branch Of the Red Star
Animal relief by a French-American
veterinarian who refuses to disclose
his name.
This man, who has taken 81 trips to
Europe since the war started with
horses for France, claims that the
horse or mule may be used for light
farm work If those legs are used.
The leg, or crutch, which has been
used successfully in this country, is
made of steel with special quadrant
spring initiating the vertical and lat
eral feelings of the ankle and fet-
lock.

REDUCES WORK OF KIDNEYS
Diet Recommended by Medical Men
for Those Who Suffer From
Dreaded Nephritis.

In nephritis, or Inflammation of the
kidneys, diet is a very important part
of the treatment. The diet is planned
to reduce the tax on the kidney to the
lowest terms. Beverages and fluid
foods are limited, no salt is added to
food, certain vegetables which contain
much salt are avoided and meat is cut
out entirely.
DR.. Arthur T. Chace, professor of
medicine, and DR.. Anton L. Rose, as
sociate in pathological chemistry IN
the New York Post Graduate Medical
School and Hospital, give in the Jour-
nal of the American Medical associ-
alton study of diet for nephritic suf-
ferers.
"The general plan of the dietary Is
generally farina served with milk, is
given for breakfast. This is sometimes
replaced by oatmeal or a baked ba-
mana, and toast and citrus fruit are
occasionally added.
"The noon meal consists of a plain
soup made from milk, Hour ana Dutler,
given mainly to supply an agreeable
hot dish, though it is also utilized as
a medium for introducing variety by
adding celery, asparagus or spinach;
main dish consisting Of baked po-
tatO, now and then replaced by baked
half-ripe banana and steamed rice;
liberal portion of green vegetable and
lettuce salad with oil dressing, fla
vored with lemon or vinegar.
'The evening meal is composed OF
such articles as ripe bananas, rice pu'-
ding, cOpnstarch blanc mango steamed
rice with baked bananas and steWed
fruit. Milk and cocoa in limited guam
titles are served as beverage"
From this general outline it Is not
difficult to construct twenty different
menus that will contain great variety.

What He Learned.

Gerald was much depressed on
bringing his monthly report card home
from school at being scolded severely
by his parents because it showed his
department had only been so per cent
out of possible 100, and thinking she
had punished him enough the mother
to cheer him, asked:
."Well, what did you learn this month
in school, Gerald? Something nlce'
I'm sure"
Didn't learn nothin'," he pouted.
"Oh you surely must have learned
something" the mother insisted.
"Well, nothin', only just how to be
good" he eded.-lndlanapohs

dollars worth of foodstuffs annually. Keep
garbage in rat-proof cans, stop up their
holes, and above all eXterminate them

Overalls are not the only thing the
young folks wear this summer, even
though l have mentioned them first. For
little boys are suits Of military cut,
made of galatea, linen, chambray and
khaki. TRINITY cut like the coat Of
uniform, the little coat boasts Of two
breast pockets, with laps, two side
pockets, and q belt. The trousers are.
of course, short. Sailor suits, which
small boys not connected with the navy
often look upon with disfavor, have
become very popular with the younger
generation this season. If one is too
young to be a member of the navy he
need not to be too young to look as
though he did. White linen and navy
blue serge are the materials for this
type Of suit.
Coats, even for very little boys, have
q decided tendency toward the military,
either in cut, trimming or color. Covert,
in shades varying from gray to brown
and having brass buttons, is very popu-
lar just now.
A great deal Of crepe dc Chine is
being used for children's frocks and
even rompers this year. It is material
which launders well and is cool and
dainty in appearance.
Although bingham as a material has
been devoted 20 children these many
years, 1t seems as though the use of il
among the grown-ups has given it a
stimulus in children g clothes. There
never has been season when there
have been prettier ginghams for chill
dren than at the present time Yellow,
green and pink plain ginghams are
made up of themseles or are combined
with plaids, checks and stripes in which
one or the other of the colors is a part
Of the color scheme. Yellow is especial
~ popular. II is often embroidered with
shades of brown, old rose and green
or with blue or some other contrasting
but harmonizing color.

DEFEATS SCHOOL TAX.

The election held Tuesday through

ton to levy a special tax of | mill for
ten years to float bond issue of $685.
300 TO retire the debt of the Parish
School Board, resulted in the defeat Of
the proposition. There arc a large mum

that an election was being held. and
others claim that they misunderstood
the proposition. 1t is hoped that the
people will get together and provide
he necessary money for schools Of this
parish. The country people mostly are
the ones who defeated the tax. 1t has

New York, July
Last DAYS Of school, then vacation,
All the girls and boys are looking for
ward to their freedom, while practical
mother is planning what these children
of hers will need for the country, the
scaShorc or the mountains, whatever va
cation will be spent.
This might almost be called an age
of ovcralls, for with gardens, dcfcns"
leagues, girl and boy scouts ana the
hundred and one other activities which
are calling girls and boys this summer,
ovcralls fiji a practical requirement. DO
not make the mistake Of thinking that
the Overalls boys wear and the ovoralls
girls wear are the same! Oh, no. Girls
overalls are made rather full and bloom
er-ike, some Of them have blouses at
tached and are large enough to pu5
over an entire froek if required TO do
50. Of course, khaki is the material
considered the most desirable for these
garments whether for boys or girls, but
very often gingham and gaIatea are
used when the boys are small and whcl
the girls wear them in the house.
