THAT UPPER BERTH.

Getting Into It Sometimes Is a Good
 Aerobatio Stunt.
 The ascent to an upper berth Is an art in itself, and, as one would expect of an art, 1t is long. 1 do not mean the ascent by stepladder. There are those who climb mountains by rail. road, who let minions put on their bait, who require caddies to tee their golf balls, who hunt with beaters to drive the game toward them. There are also those who reach their uppers on car peted steps.
 Yet the heroic breed Is not extinct. Luxury has not yet completely sapped our national virility. Some of us are made of sterner stun. We climb un- assisted and alone.
 We are of. Quickly we assume po- sition A, with both hands grasping the horizontal bar and with our right foot firmly planted on the chest of the old gentleman in the lower We push Of vigorously. If the old gentleman's chest be of proper firmness and resii- iency this push brings US to position B with the left knee in the sharp knee hold on the edge of the upper berth and the right leg at large. The right leg is then brought convulsively up' ward and forward and laid carefully in the upper berth, and the left leg is at liberty to follow it. From this point on all is plain sQuirming.-Frederick l. Allen in Century.

Inu.ntsd ths chsok sxstsm.

John Palmer, who died some years ago in rather straitened circumstances in a little town in Michigan. was the inventor of the check system. Palmer was a fiddler and assumed responsibN- lty for the hats. coats and wraps of those who came to his dancing parties. In keeping things straight he gave numbered checks for the articles com mitted to his care. Some railroad men who attended one of the dances noticed how perfectly the idea worked, appro- priated it and in a short time 1t was adopted all over the country. As is often the case, the inventor got noth- ing out of it--PhiladelphI Press.

VALUE OF SKIMMiLk
Much Cheaper and More Nourlhhlhb
 Than Round Steak.

Than Round Steak. %
 Skimmilk Is a very economical food which should be more largely used. It is the same as whole milk except that the butter fat has been taken from It. In skimmilk there remains all the sug- ar, about four and one-half parts in every one hundred, all of the mineral salts, all of the protein. The protein is the most valuable constituent of milk. It not only serves as fuel for the body as does the fat and sugars, but supplies nitrogenous tissue build tng material.
 Shmmilk should be chased, as whole milk is, with eggs, meat. fish. poultry and cheese. The governments food experts praise sEimmllk and give us these interesting figures to show its value:
 Two and half quarts of sklmmilk contain almost as much protein and yield about the same amount of en- ergy as a pound of round of beef. When skimmilk sells for 4 cents 0 quart, or about cents a pound, and round of beef for 20 cents pound, a dime spent for skimmilk will provide nearly twice as much nourishment as 1t will If spent for round steak.
 When milk sours normally 1t still re- mains good food. It Is not suitable for the baby, but it will make good smear case, or cottage cheese, one of the best Of foods.-New York Mail.

People Urged to Raise Vegetables and
 Prepare For a Lean Winter.

 Prepare For a Lean Winter.
 It is a world of lean years, says the New York Times. Its food lies in this years crop. The reserves will be ex- hausted at the end of the crop year. The outlook is not too roseate. The English wheat crop is reported pack ward, the Dutch small. French wheat will yield less than usual. Argentina will have little wheat or corn to ex- port. The Australian wheat crop Is estimated at nearly 5OOOOOOO bushels less than last years. Our big winter wheat states have not had moisture enough. Early vegetables in the south ern states have been nipped by frost. So the shortage goes.
 Food prices are high already. This careless, easy going America must re member the ant and prepare for next winter. One thing nearly all of us out side the cities, and many urbans, can do. That Is to raise all we can of the common vegetables, so easy to raise, thriving almost everywhere, so large a part of our food. We can't import them. We must grow them; and they should be grown in quantities unheard of before, grown by the rich-and the more they sell the better-by the poor, by the great mass that Is neither. Beans, onions, peas. potatoes and the rest, these should be the crop of everybody with land enough to bend over in.
 Selectmen, towh committees, town trustees and councillors, spy out the vacant cultivable land and see that it is tickled with the blow. Commuters, who farm for exercise and pleasure, or say you do, this Is the spring when you need to farm for business. More ground for garden this year; and gar den for vegetables, not for ornament.

Tennvson's Vanity.

The intricacles of a gresk mans char acter are often simplicities to hls wife. Once. when the late Alfred Austin had paid a visit to Tennyson, his lm' mediate predecessor, Tennyson walked with him as far as the gate which led to the highway. There, says Alfred Austin in his autobiography, while the elder poet stood leaning on the gate a party of wide eyed sightseers ap- peared.
 "What vulgar people the English arer' Tennyson exclaimed. ''They come here to watch for me, and when they see me they say quite loudly. There's TennysonI
 MT. Austin afterward repeated this to Lady Tennyson. who smiled tenderly' but archly.
 My husband would be much moro annoyed if the people didn't come" she said

New EnaIandIs Name.

The pilgrims had nothing to do with the naming of New England. That name was coined by Captain John Smith of Pocahontas fame and one of the founders of the Virginia colony. In 1914 he explored and mapped the northern coast, then called North Vir- ginia. and renamed 1t New England. The Maydower pilgrims did not arrive until 1920, and the charter granted the new colony adopted the name used in Smiths map several years before.

There were two cases before t:e|

PENDANTS were five boys-four white
and one colored. The white trio were
charged with stealing wire. They fa9
been brought into court by Officer
Seedlings. but he had been unable
to ascertain the name Of the owner
or the wire. The colored boy had
been taken from the platform OF an
electric train which he had boarded
on south Royal street tor the purHoSc
of obtaining free ride. His mother
was in court, and he being but twelve
wears old, he was turned over TO her
10, correction. She was, however,
told that should she farl 30 prevent
him from committing misdemeanorS'
the authorities would take charge ."
him should he be brought to court
again.
The four white boys had procured
wire somewhere and disposed OF It
to a junk dealer. Their ages ranged
from nine to twelve years or age,
and their parents appeared in court
with them. After the evidence in the
case had been heard, also contesslcas
of the Juvenile offenders, their par
cnts were assured that if they could
nst control them, the authorities
could. and that they must see TO II
that their offsprings deport tnem'
selves properly in future The young
sters will be placed under t.ie sur
VIGILANCE OF representatives OF the
State Board of Charities and Cor
rection, and so long as they commit
no other offenses they will be on their
parole.
The most troublesome cases "h!ch
come before the Police Court arc
those OF juvenile offenders. The pT:s-
ont laws of the state make it ODE
ratory upon justices to look with
eytenuatiou upon such offenders cX-
,.rr; in cases of felony They must
be given chance to reform ana

The latter was summoned into court
and fined ten dollars for furnishing
his offspring with the weapon.
