Ny text this morning is the language
in the Book of Job, chapter II verse II:
For vain man would be wise, though
man be born like a wild ASS colt"
There is a philosophy which, going
out with a spyglass and telescope in
search OF God, returns to say that there
is no such personality. Some profess
to believe in and to reverence God. yet
persistently deny His existence in any
more definite conception that that God
IS in the blade Of grass. in the rose bud,
and in all nature every where. This
error leaos to the disregarding of the
existence of sin as a fact of circum-
stance, for fear that if we admit the
reality of sin. we make ii part of
God, whose Allness, according to our
false notion in cludes every thing that
| is, in His very self or personality
Disregardng the account Of the crea :
ton of man in the image of his God
| this philosophy, not finding God nor
the origin of life by instruments made
with hands. attempts to interpret phys

bodies of few bugs, animals and men
and then TO announce with due high
brow dignity that al life originated
| from one, or possibly two. minute par

| This is described as a semi fluid al

gummy and somte5 granular. Some
silence undertakes to tell us that this
fprotoplasm is the beginning Of all
thing material, or especially of physical
| life.

Knittinp Checks Gossip.

Some people are born knitters, oth-
ers achieve knitting, while others
have knitting thrust upon them and it
persons, who stand with fear and
trembling on the brink of what may
eventually be a scarf or a sleeveless
sweater. who are responsible, knit
tingly speaking, for the elevation of
conversation these days.
How it is possible to gossip-to find
out in a clear and satisfactory man
ner how much alimony Mr.. So and So
is paying his third or fourth wife,
when just at the j~uiciest moment,
some putting and concentrated knitter
interrupts to know whether ""It is 8
stitches OF 80 stitches you cast on aft
row." or "Now how many 10 / purl
after turning the corner around the
heel?'
The novitiate is finding that in self
defense she must take unto herself a
couple of needles and at least start
scarf or mitten. On the other hand
it is the day of days for the older
women who know every stitch ever
invented since days Of the Civil war
and enjoy nothing more than to pass
along this now invaluable knowledge,
but 1t does limit the line of personal
"reminiscences, with it's attendant dis
about ones neighbors. Literally
speaking, everyone is too busy tending
to their knitting to indulge in mere
gossip, which in itself is no small
achievement for this form of handi-
craft, though it hasn't yet reached
such concentration that the women
are tongue-tied!-CDuluth Herald.)

FRUIT FOR DESSERT

Eat n raw fruit or vegetable
every day" is one Of the requirements
of a balanced ration.
Fruit, whether fresh Or canned,
makes an excellent dessert and has
the advantage of requiring little Of
the housewives time to prepare.
Now that flour is scarce we should
fruit instead. We should use fresh
fruits freely when we can procure
them at just the right stage Of ripe
ness.
The national food producers and
the housewives will see that j
abundant fruit crop is preserved for
future use,
Waste Nothing.
The housewife should save the
cores, parings and seeds of apples,
ounce, peaches. ETC., and use these in
making jelly.
+ We shall need more %jellies, marina
ladies' and jams than ever before for
we shall use them as spreads" for
bread. Mr.. Hoover asks us to con-
serve our butter for the use Of our
fighting men.
The house wife who is responsible
for preserving fruit will do well to
follow the, practice of Dur national
food producers-take the fruit when
just the right degree of ripeness. is
reached and can 1T the same day.
The national foo producer always
follows this plan: He establishes his
factory where the fruit Is grown SO
that he can gather it when just the
proper degree Of ripeness is reached
and always cans it the same day.
This is one secret Of the superior
quality of these fruits.
We shall all welcome the regime of
fruit dessert and%I believe we shall
Lprefer it ever to pie. However, we
may still hayel.our pie without en-
~croaching upon the -four supply IL we
will use rice pie crust as previously
suggested.
Fruits, canned and fresh, served
Eau NATURAL" are satisfying desserts
and fit into any menu. For variety
serve fruit whips, ices, sundaes, fruit
ice creams, or combine fruits with
rice, tapfoca or sage in %puddings.

Records For New
Army Phonograph

An army and navy model of the
Edison monograph being shown by
the Stone Piano company has been
presented by the company to rthe
Grand Forks Machine Gun company,
Company M of the National Guard TO
share in the pleasures to be derived
from the gift.
The machine has been built exclu.
sively for army and navy use, meeting
all government requirements as TO
construction, and there are some 1,2OO
similar machines in use among army
n navy units in the United States
at the present time.
The Stone Piano company felt thae
1t could not afford to equip the ma
chine with records and this need pro-
vides an opening for patriotic citizens
of the town to do "bit" for our
home soldier boys that will mean real
cheer for them when they get tnso
the concentration camp. The Edison
disc record, which is non-deStructi-
BILE, and for that reason preferable
for the strenuous use which machines
of this kind get, will be most accepta-
bic, n records of all descriptions
will be welcomed by the men of the
companies.
In a number of cities young women
have arranged record showers"
which in addition to being pleasant
social affairs have brought to he COM
papies having monographs a number
of entertaining and interesting rec
ords. So far Company M has no rec
ords for it's splendid new phonograpH,
and the mensare hoping that girls of
the town tand some of the colder"
girls, and perhaps mem, will be inter-
ested enough to provide them with at
least a few records. There are per-
haps a good many homes in town
which have Edison records that have
been used a bit, and when the new
ness wears off, they are put on the
shelf. Many of these would be fresh
n new to the boys of the local com
panies and would be as acceptable as
brand new ones, provided they are not
scratched or too much worn.

Comfort Bags.

Comfort Bags.
The windows of the Red Cross head
quarters, where two neat piles of fat,
comfy looking comfort kits for our
local soldiers are being exhibited, are
attracting a good bit Of attention. The
comfort bag committee of which Mrs,
Roger Cooley is the chairman, and h
leading spirit, has been more than
busy recently getting the bags made,
and now the filling, and sorting, and
marking is occupying their attention.
A number of the kits have been aiken
out for filling, and no report made as
to their disposal, and recently Mrs.
Cooley asked to have all of the bags
turned into headquarters, or at least
some adequate report made Of the dis
position of them, so she could be sure
that every man in the companies was
being provided with one of the kits,
and also to be sure that there were
no duplication.
The bags have been splendidly
made, and are filled with all Of the
articles that are required, and advo~
Gated, as being most useful.
For Battleships.
At the request of William G. Brai-
sted, surgeon general Of the u. s.
army, the American Red Cross has
called upon ten of the larger chapters
Of the society nearest New York to
supply at the earliest; possible moment
surgical dressings for each of the 1873
battleships and ~destroyers. Each ship
will require thousands Of congresses
and bandages, an entire consignment,
making a total of more than 100000
surgical dressings.
The surgical dressings are to be
prepared by the women workers in
the Red Cross chapters at Chicago,
Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Washington,
baltimore, Philadelphia. Boston, New
York, Atlanta and the northeastern
division, these chapters being chosen
because their proximity to New York
will expedite delivery. It is expected
to fill the order within ten days.
Women qualified in various chap
tiers to make surgical dressings are
working night and day for the rapid
completion of the work. Only women
who have taken the Red Cross
course in making of these bandages
are eligible to engage in the work.
With declaration of war there has
been a rapid increase ~, the number
Of women taking the Red Cross sur
gical dpesing course. In June, 4,144
certificates were issued to women
who a taken the course Of eight
lessons of three hours each,, and in
