] They know what they're about Miss Lorgan never goes into financial 1 schemes without getting due return. She has watched our magazine .Wo-

 real mantFer-not q figurehead. She
 knows it's your ideas that have made us what we are in the periodical world.
 "In their way" he went on, "the rich folks in Miss Lorgan's train are highbrows. They are thoroughly 1 abreast of the times and really want

 His arguments contained much truth, and he knew how to present them forcibly to Janet. She was al- most dizzy, at times, with her own success and prosperity, and 1t was not difficult to find wisdom in all Roy Nicoll set forth. Nicoll had made it all possible. Nicoll was a hugely successful man. And very attractive one.
 Since Janet had worked for him and with him. he had never once overstepped the boundaries of proper conduct toward her. It seemed to Janet he was too puncilious. She would have been angry at any hber- ties. Yet she felt a vague resentme ent that he seemed no longer interested in herself; only in her work.
 Nicoll knew just when to revive the personal touch, however, and when he said good night at the door of her house. he took both her hands in thrilling grip.

The griev- ance hunter would never admit it but he comes to take 8 deep pleas ure in the sport. He thinks he's un- happy when he finds something that he can construe as & slight, but in reality he is delighted. And then ensue sulks, hurt air explana- tions,--all the miserable parapha- nalia of the grievance. Naturally this does not make for peace in the home.

 Isn't that a perfect picture of the home where people substitute mu- tual impatience for mutual intoler- ance and reasonableness. Homes, even the humblest, can be so pleasant if we will only make them so.
 A little more patience, a little less hurry. a little more willingness to
 put yourself in the others place, a little,--no a great deal,-less irrita-

 place of peace and refuge it should
 be.

What is the atmosphere of your home?
 Is 1t that of peace, of mutual for bearance, or of irritability, of unrest, of mutual recriminations over this or that little thing.
 The way in which the atmosphere of homes differs, the way one person can affect the atmosphere of a whole household, the happiness that is needlessly lost by living in an un- pleasant home atmosphere, are sub jects which deeply interest me. Try To "Get Something on Each
 Other.
 There are some homes where the housemates are always keen to 'get something on each other, find each other in a mistake, discover some thing they can blame each other for. I know one in which the man of the house is constantly saying to his wife: "You told me such and such a thing and now I find out it isn't so.' Nothing delights him like catching her in some such mistakes. She does not hear quickly and thus gets things twisted and one would expect him to pass such things over but in- stead he always makes lhe Hloe' VI them, says "I wish I could be told things right once in While, or something to that effect.
 He Loves Grievances.
 Instead of accepting the thing as mistake he makes a grievance out of it. He loves grievances. simply eats them up,' his daughter says. That is another way in which the home atmosphere can be made un- pleasant-by the habit of looking for grievances. There are so many things that you can either let slide

CROWD STORMS FOX'S
 AT CIVILIZATION"

''Civilization" drew the crowds to Fox's theater yesterday and all were loud in their praise of the great Ince spectacle for which such wonderful
 claims have been made, civilization"
 is all anybody can claim for it. It
 is a great big life's lesson to all. It
 breaches the awfulness of war the loveliness of peace and the impor-
 tance of preparedness. It can be
 said of "Civilization" that it is mag
 nificent, that it is wonderful, that it
 is stupendous, that it's lesson is world
 inspiring It shows a peaceful city
 appalled, by the declaration of war
 war; the awfulness of war and the
 broken bleeding hearts at the out
 come.
 "Ciuilization' is sermon, regardless
 of your views see civilization" and
 have your children see it. c. Gard ner Sullivan is the author of "Civili- zation" but it took an Ince to visualize
 and to produce it that the world might behold it in all of its unap-
 proachable splendor.
 In the past the Fox theater picture
 has been criticised by many and the
 present management agrees that the
 criticism was justified. But in pre-
 pairing for Civilization" every effort
 was exerted to make the Fox picture perfection. New direct current gen. orators were installed and a new screen was prepared by MT. C.. w. Johnson the expert of the Fox circuit. The 1few light is magnificent and the picture being two feet larger each way has made the Fox picture one of the finest in New England. MT. Harry Mcdonald manager of the Fox
 theater, Springfield, witnessed the
 first performance of Civilization"
 jection I have ever seen" "Civiliza- ton" is a piece of wonderful photog raphy and it was shown to the best advantage but with the~improved con- ditions all pictures will enjoy the same advantage. The new screen is a pat ent of MT. c. w. Johnsons and the
 use of 1t is held exclusively by the Fox circuit of theaters.
 Civilization" will be the attraction at Fox's tonight and tomorrow, Sun- day. There will be two performances on Saturday as usually. Tomorrow Sunday night, there will be two per formances at and o'clock.
 Next Wednesday and Thursday the treat of the season is promised when the Serial Supreme, "The Great Se- cret," with Francis x. Bushman and
 Beverly Bayne, will open for a season of fifteen weeks.

The Spur of Prosperity.

It disturbed Walter to find that his wife had not yet got home. For all his bohemianism, all his love of | liberty and respect for 1t in the do- 1ngs of others. 1t troubled him not to know where Janet was every mo- l ment of the time. Late hours and miscellaneous runnings about did not l suit Janet, Walt told himself Where ] upon his own evening spent at the Lafayette cafe and his talk with Lucy Benton reproached him for a dog-in- the-manger. If he followed his own
 path, he must let Janet follow hers and trust her to choose a safe one. That was just it--a safe one. As
 Walt lay sleepless in his bed he knew what was troubling him. It was the ever-present thought that along Janet's path also walked Roy Nico1l, relentlessly plying his yelled temptations The worst of 1t was that Nicoll's efforts to win Janet were all legitimate-all constructive. Nicoll offered her nothing that would have tempted the ordinary woman. He of fered her world to conquer and 1 she was conouering 1t. Walt was left to conquer his own world unas- sisted. Well-he clenched his hands and grimly compressed his lips in the darkness-he would conquer it, or die.
 Repeating this over and over again, Walt fell asleep, to dream 8 tumble of wild victories over skeptical editors and play producers, with Janet, he love for him renewed . thousandfold, watching him in the audience as he shouted an authors speech" from a gigantic stage.
 Meanwhile Janet, speeding home ward in Nicoll's car from a gathering of his wealthy friends at a fashion able residence uptown, was listening to words from Nicolls which were al- most an echo of Lucy's to Walter at tho Lafayette:
 Don't you see. Janet, that all you need is the proper environment !" Roy Nicoll was urging. "How you shone tonight among those people! I was 50 proud of you. and of my self for putting you in your rightful place"
 "Oh, yes. 1t was wonderful, Roy." murmured Janet in an awed tone, II felt must be dreaming-ME up there at Miss Lorgan's house actually telling those millionaires how to spend their money! But.

BRAAI GOES INTO HOME PLANT.

Mr.. Frank Braai, who formerly
conducted the Model Sheet Metal
Works on Teche street. has just
moved into his new building at 319
Newton street, where he recently
bought three fine lots of ground for
the purpose of erecting his home
plant.
The new building is constructed
entirely OF steel, having many open
ings for light and the entire floor is
of concrete.
Mr.. Braai will shortly begin the
erection of an additional warehouse
which will be in the rear Of his
shop. This warehouse is for the
purpose of storing cement and sand,
as ne is also branching out into the
paving business.
On account of recently receiving
several large contracts for sheet
metal work for some of the steam
ships. he has been compelled to de-
fer work on the shop until the con-
tracts have been gotten out. Mr..
lBraais friends are looking forward
to the christening Of the new build
ing.

NAVAL STATIONS USE
TO CAPACITY URGED

The New Orleans Joint Committee
on Naval Station and Naval Base has
sent to all members of the naval af-
fairs committee in Congress copies of
the statements in favor of the sta
ton here as made at the hearing in
New Orleans recently. The state
ments are summarized in a communi-
cation TO l.. p. Padgett, chairman of
the congressional committee A copy
of the committees brief to the Helm
Commission with drawings of the
LawtOn basin plan also have been
sent.
The attention of the Louisiana SEN
atOrs and representatives also has
been called to the necessity for CO.
operating with Senator Broussard and
Congressman Estopinal in urging the
claims of New Orleans for a great
naval base. The fact is pointed out
to the naval affairs committee that
the naval station in New Orleans is
a repair station, with a floating dry
dock with a capacity for lifting SIS
per cent in number of the vessels of
the United States navy, and a num-
bti vi lluplON nave DtCH lCN-
commended as needed in the develop
ment of the station, it is urged that
the full amount of money needed to
make them be recommended to Con-
gress by the committee so that the
yard may be utilized to its utmost ca
pacity in the present emergency.
The naval base committee also as
serts in the communication that by
the adoption of the Lawton basin
plan all previous obstacles to the de-
velopment of the station as a plant
that can dry dock, repair and build
the largest vessels will be removed.
The communication fully covers the
subject and is signed by w. p. Ross,
chairman of the subcommittee, and
c. II. Ellis, chairman of the confer
ence.

WHAT YOU CAN Do TO
HELP WIN THIS WAR

Our problem is TO feed our Allies
this winter by sending them as much
food as we can OF the most concen-
trated nutritive value in the least
shipping space. These foods are
wheat. beef, pork, dairy products, and
sugar.
Our solution is to eat less of these
and more of other foods of which we
have an abundance, and to waste less
OF all foods.
Bread and cereals-Have at least
one wheatless meal a day. Use corn,
oat. rye, barley, or mixed cereal rolls.
mullins, and breads in place of white
bread certainly for one meal and, ii
possible, for two. Eat less cake and
pastry.
As TO white bread. if you buy from
a baker. order it a day in advance:
then he will not bake beyond his
needs. Cut the loaf on the table and
only as required. Use stale bread
tor toast and cooking.
Meat.-Use more poultry, rabbits
and especially fish and sea foods in
place Of beef. mutton. and pork. Do
not use either beef mutton, or pork
more than once daily. and then serve
smaller portions. Use all leftover
meat cold or in made dishes. Use
soups more freely. Use beans: they
have nearly the same food value as
meat
Milk.-Use all of the milk, waste
no part of it. The children must
have whole milk; therefore use less
cream. There is a great waste of
food by not using all skim and sour
milk. Sour milk can be used in cook
ing and to make cottage cheese. Use
buttermilk and cheese freely.
Fats tbutter. lard. etc. Dairy but
ter has food values vital to children
Therefore. use il on the table as us
ual, especially for children. Use as
little as possible in cooking Reduce
the use of fried foods to reduce the
consumption Of lard and other fats.
| Use vegetable oils, as olive and cot
tonseed oil. Save daily one-third of
! an ounce of animal fat. Waste no
| soap; it contains fat and the glycer-
| inc necessary for explosives. You
can make scrubbing soap at home
and, in some localities. you can sell
your saved fats to the soap maker
who will thus secure our needed glyc
| crime.
Sugar.-Use less candy and sweet
drinks. Use less sugar in tea and
coffee. Use honey. maple syrup, and
dark syrups for hot cakes and waffles
without butter or sugar Do not frost
or ice cakes. Do not stint the use Of
sugar in putting up fruits and jams
They may be used in place of butter
Vegetables and fruits-We have {
superabundance of vegetables. Double
the use of vegetables. They take tn,
place of part of the wheat and meat
and, at the same time, are healthful
Use potatoes abundantly. Store pc
tatoes and roots properly and the!
will keep. Use fruits generously.
Fuel.-Coal comes from a distance
and our railway facilities are needle,
for war purposes. Burn fewer fires
If you can get wood, use it.
