A PRAYER For Us All

High up in the hill country of Italy, where the
foothills slope into the mountains, is a lovely
wayside shrine in which in a frame of painted
flowers is the italian inscriptions
"Pray, oh we faithful
"For the sons Of Italy, who are watching and
fighting for our Land,
''For the welfare Of our King who shares
their glory,
"For constancy in our resolve,
"And solace for the mothers and the wives Of
our Country
This prayer is as beautiful as it is simple and
heartfelt. With the proper adaptations, it might
well be prayed in this country.
We are sending our boys to the front in France
in ever-increasing numbers. In the trenches
over there they will be watching and fighting
for our land just as truly as if they were in
trenches on American soil. They are going to
fight to preserve our liberty and our independ-
ence.
Every victory they win is victory won for
the American flag and the American cause.
Every time they defeat the gray legions of the
kaiser, they help to drive another nail into the
coffin of tyranny and militarism and autocracy.
And while we praying for their success,
we may well also pray that we here at home
shall be constant in our resolve to support those
at the front with money, with food, with ammu-
nition-and, above all, with the cheering news
that their mothers sweethearts and wives are
being well cared for.

Dear Miss Grey: Ny father

20 years old and have been go

that we marry and live in the

The young man earns but SIS
per week. He has no money laid
by, but claims to have a future
where he is employed. What is
your advice? MINNIE.
A.-You seem to question the
young mans sincerity Of purpose.
Don't marry him unless you love

that he loves you for yourself and
not for your property. Yon must

Dear Miss Grey: I have a

would like to wear this winter,
but it is spotted from the rain,
making the plush look worn.
Could you suggest method to
raise the plush? l am afraid it
would cost me too much to send
it to a tailor. MRS. l.. B.
A.-The fur on plush material
may be raised by steaming it on
the wrong side. Place a damp
cloth on a hot iron and then put
the wrong side of the coat over
the cloth, and pat the plush gent
ly with the fingers. II your coat
is badly spotted, this will be an
endless task. The cleaners and
dyers steam plush coats very rea-
sonably.

AFFINITY between MOODS
Author John synae's Declarations Re-
garding Temperament of Peasants
of the West Of Ireland.

There Is a significant phrase in one
Of John Synge's books, says the Aedi-
cal Times. Speaking of the spiritual
ity and wildness of the peasants OF
the west Of Ireland. he remarks:
There is an affinity between the
moods Of those people and the moods
Of varying rapture and dismay that
are frequent in artists and In certain
forms Of alienation These peasants,
descendants of an ancient bard that
were chased TO the West, are said TO
be born poets Synge noted in them
the quick changes from gioominess 70
gayety, and saw the relation of these
changes and the Celtic dreauiness TO
the genius that has shown Itself among
these people
Especially acute was his realization
thst such traits bear some relation 10
manisc-depreSsive insanity, though he
did not understand that the genius is
not insane but specially predisposed
10 insanity because OF his delicstely
organized nervous system When the
genius becomes elinically insane he
ceases, perforce, TO be s creative art
fst- All the confusion about genius
and insanity Is unnecessary II these
simple facts be kept in mind

Another Test Of Death,

A discovery Of great value for test
Ing with certainty whether a person Is
dead has been made by q professor Of
physiology at Chicago university. As
described in the Lancet II Is too
technical for the layman's understand
Ing. but doctor explains that the test
Is made by crushing piece OF muscle
and comparing 1t with piece OF. an
crushed muscle. If the person Is alive
the crushed piece gives on more car
bonic acid gas than the uncrushed
piece, as a result Of the stimulation
produced by the injury. The professor
claims that this test can be applied
within a few minutes, or at most with
in one or two hours Of death. There
are, of course, other tests with which
every doctor is quite satisfied, but this
will be extremely valuable, as orvving
local death of the tissues after general
death has occurred. There is life In
the tissues for some time after death.
and proof of their death sets all
doubts at rest.
