WhY Should We Wash7

Why does a boy object to washing.
his neck and ears? Or object still
more seriously to having them washed7
I have evolved scientific and psycho-
logical reason which is a complete an
swer to the question, but prefer to
answer 1t by making personal confes-
sion based on my own boyhood expert
ence, says Edwin Fuller in the Moth
er's Magazine. AS small boy, OBJ
jected to washing my own ears because
I could not see the dirt and because I
believed it, unnecessary waste of time
which might be used more proftably
in play; and I strenuously objected to
my mother performing the operations
because she always hurt me.
There is no period Of the boys life
more trying to the parent than the
period between eight and twelve, ex-
cept only the age of early adolescence.
The chief characteristic of early boy
hood is individualism. He now recog-
nizes himself as an individual entity
not correlated to society at large. He
feels no obligation to humanity be-
cause he does not yet realize that he is
an integral, part of 1t. His individual
ism manifests itself in self1shness and
self-centeredness.

Spirit of Martyrdon.

Here and there may be found per-
sons not recognized as great and yet
really great. They are working for
great ideas. For their efforts they
may be severely punished. Can it be
said of them that the rest will follow?
Surely it can. They are the pioneers.
They blaze the paths for other great
persons who reap the reward of what
they have done. They are very pa
thetic, these martyrs. And yet, In a.
sense, they are not pathetic at all,
They have the Joy Of working for some
thing worth while, even Of suffering
for it and perhaps going down to SEEM.
ing defeat. Theirs is the spirit that
animates many Of the young men at!
this moment offering their lives to-
their country. Suddenly, by means Of
their self-sacrifice, life has become.
enhanced for them and death itself has
taken on kind of beauty.-New York
Evening Telegram.

Fruit-Eatina as a Water Supply.

Most fruits contain from 75 to 95.
per cent water, and a balance Of
woody fiber or cellulose, fruit sugar.
and minerals. Thus the free use Of.
fruit daily insures a greater supply
of water to the body, says the Popular
Science Monthly.
The cellulose of the fruit supplies
bulk and a mechanical stimulation
which promotes waste elimination
Acid fruits, such as oranges, lemons,
lines and most berries, contain GER,

Terrible Catastrophe.

AS Mr.. Jones unlaced his boots he
remarked casually to his wife: "Havei
you heard about the catastrophe which
happened at the Smiths house to-.
night?"
"No. What was it?" asked Mrs.
Jones.
Jones paused for an aggravating mo-.
ment to pull on his slippers before he.
replied: "Why, Mrs. Smith gave the
baby a bottle to play with, and while
she was out of the room it fell from
the cradle and broke its neck"
"Whatl The poor little babyTf

BACK TO FIGHT THEIR KIN
pany of Pennsylvania Germans Who
Still Speak Mother Tongue.


Easton, Pa, the mountainous little
city which guards the eastern entrance
to the Lehigh valley, suffered recently
the deeply moving shock Of pathos and
patriotism which must come to the
towns and cities of America, one after
another, as the flower of their boys in
organized array march off to war, says
the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Easton's military organization, af-
fectionately known as the City Guard,
is now the One Hundred and Forty
ninth machine-gun company. 1t left

swift journey to France and the battle.
front.
In the ancient city of Speyer, upon
the Rhine, is a line of tombs in which
repose the old warrior emperors Of
Germany. The legends say that they
arose by night over century ago, fer
ried the Rhine, and caused the defeat
Of Napoleon at Lepsic; and that they
will arise again to protect Germany in
her greatest crisis. This company of
Pennsylvania soldiers, heavily tread
ing through the streets of Easton, pre-,
sented a far more impressively impend-!
ing fatality, for these were Pennsyl-
vania German boys. Their names were
Ridenour, Lehr, Richenbacher, Kocher,
Darmstadt, Kiefer, Scherf, Seiple, Vol
kert, and so on.
Two hundred years ago their forefa-
theirs came to America from the Pfalz,
of which Speyer was the capital, and
these boys, notwithstanding their edu-,
cation in our greatest schools and COL
leges, and their two hundred years OF.
family history upon American soil, still
speak with f1uency the ancient dialect.
| of the German Palatinate, locally
known as Pennsylvania German.
Fate is sending these boys back to
the land of their forefathers to
overcome by their living presence
the spiritual assistance of the
ancient kings Of Speyer. 1t is
Rhenish legend against Pennsylvania
machine guns. And theirs indeed is
soldier blood. Their names reflect
many soldiers of distinction from this
county in the Revolutionary, Mexican
and Civil wars, their fathers having
made in their time the same march
of the same route as that made by the
boys on their way to camp.
