WATER CAUSES MANY FIRES.

Strange as it may sean many ap. parently harmless substances handled daily, become dangerous when in fluenced by water and moisture.
 J. s. Speed fire prevention expert of Arkansas. calls attention to the following chemicals handled in ordi- nary commercial lines, which are re- sponsible for many fires when carc~ lessly exposed to water or excess moisture:
 Lime. sodium peroxide, fine dust, calcium carbide. metallic sodium and potassim, found in drug houses, hardware stores and garages. In the fertilizer industry, fish scrap garbage tankage, and dried blood arc subject to spontaneous ignition under conditions of excess moisture.
 Nitrate of soda bags carefully handled around warehouses, farm houses and barns are prolific causes of fires of seemingly unknown origin.
 Hay stored in damp weather, before it is properly cured, or yet by a leak in the barn roof is a frequent cause of fire.

WESLEY WENT TOO FAR.
Close -Fisted Steward approved Only
 Part of Sermon on Thrift.

Of course, when we warn our good friends of the folly of spending mon- ey unthoughtlessly this year, we don mean that they should go to the Other extreme and become misers. An old story says that on one occasion Joan Wesley was preaching to crowd and had among his hearers thrifty and hard-working but close-fisted stew ard.
 "I say, make all you can,' said Wesley. "Make every penny you cen honestly"
 And the thrifty steward uttered an enthusiastic "Amen!"
 "In the second pla, said Wes- ley, "I say save all you can-every penny you can"
 This was even more to the stew ards liking, "Amen!" lie roared.
 And in the third place. said Wc'- ley, q say, give all you can. Give all you can to every worthy caus :
 But this time there was no "amen" from the steward. "There now! There now!" he muttered to himself, but loud enough for his friends be- side him to hear, "He's gone and spoilt it all!"
 When we insist time after time on the importance of economy, we are sometimes afraid we shall encourage some such modern steward in out right stinginess. We should ike to make it plain therefore that we nave just as little use for tightwad as 8 spendthrift-and maybe little liter. But there's no sense in being ciItei viff fiOhfW10 SirC 1lV be thrifty.-Progressive Farmer.

"CHOSEN PEOPLE"
Implies Arrogance. Unless Used Fig.
 uratively, Says Rabbi.

"There is a certain arrogance i'm piled when any nation terms itself a chosen people," said Rabbi David PhilipsOn at Rockdale Avenue temple Saturday.
 The term chosen people is con- nected so generally with the people of Israel that the fact is lost sight of that there were many peoples in antiquity who considered themselves to be the chosen of their tutelary divinity.
 "Even today it is not unusual to find similar sentiments. Every now and then during the last two years the kaiser has uttered words to the effect that he and his armies are the especial favorites of God, who will give them victory. A like opinion holds in all likelihood among the other combat ants, although none has given it such bold and crude expression.
 When sifted to the bottom the be- lief that any one people is the espe- cial favorite of God implies that all other peoples are of minor worth in the sight of Him who is addressed as the Father of all. However, those su- preme religious geniuses, the prophets of Israel, read into the term a new meaning, namely, the idea of service and responsibility.
 By this measure many who are called great in human annals will be rejected from the company of the chosen, and many others who have served with all their heart and soul in spheres whether humble or exalted, whether they be sung or unsung, will be found, like Abou Ben Adhem, to be in the very foremost of the record of humanity.

London, June 13.-The east end of

sued the German planes which flew
over Essex toawrd London and a great
battle took place in the air in which
entente aircraft guns on the ground
participated as well as the British
aviators. a.
In the house of commons Chancellor
Bonar Law said thirty-one prisoners
had been killed and sixty-seven intur-
ed in the raid over London as far as
ascertained.
A bomb struck a school house kill
ing ten children and injuring fifty.
One German airplane is reported to
have been brought down.
The east end Of London, in which
live the city's poor, suffered heavily
from the raid. Bombs fell in many
congested districts and while the NUM-
