WHAT Is ROME SERVICE

Home Service II not a mystic or a
technical thing. Home Service does
not call for the expenditure of large
sums OF money. Home Service Is
not charity.
Home Service is nothing more
than sympathetic and intelligent un-
derstanding and decent human
friendship Many cases Il Is true,
call for tact and skille and eXper-
fence. Many problems are delicate
and must be approached with care
hut the wonderful results achieved
sometimes with very simple ma
terials make the heart glad and re
store ones faith in human nature.
Here are three typical Home Service

MUSIC or MARVELLOUS POWER
More Moving Than Any Sounds Of
Earth Are Those Heard in
Churches of Russia.

And what shall say of the music
of Russian cathedral? There Is no
organ and there are no female voices.
The chorus choirs are composed of
men carefully trained through n long
series of years. The Russians have
naturally rich. sOnorous voices. and
their sacred music is inexpressibly
moving. AT times soft and appealing,
at others a weird minor strain. If not
lnfrequently swells into a volume of
almost overpowering majesty. l have
heard church music in many parts of
the world, but such music nowhere
else. 1t voices the sadness and suffer
ing, the implicit faith and the solemn
mission of great people. More truly
than any other church music in the
world, 1t is the expression of the deem
er soul of a nation, elemental In its
moods of storm and tenderness, of
half-barbarous passion and of SUBJ
lime aspiration. Every time we heard
1t we stood in silence and awe, con-
scious that the strings of our hearts
were being strangely swept and feel
ing as II we were in wide spaces under
the open sky and in the presence of
Mount Sinai from which issued al
ternately the crashing thunder, the
blazing lightning, and then the muir
muring Of trees and brooks, and the
still, small Voice. Was this mere emo
tionalism? 1t may have been, but the
mysterious spell still fingers in my

WILL SPLIT BIGGEST ROCKS
Seemingly Nothing in Nature Is Able
to Withstand Expansive Force of
Trees Roots.

This might very well be considered
nature puzzle. Why should any SEN
sible tree apparently select a dry rock
for a home when there is plenty of
good soil all about in which to grow?
AS a matter of fact there is so little
rainfall where one tree grows, in New
Mexico, that it is something of won
der to an eastern traveller how any
tree, even with its roots spreading
through the soil in every direction, can
stand the long drought of months dur
alton. When a cedar tree, however, is
seen to be growing out of crack in
rock in an almost desert region the
matter becomes a veritable mystery.
Even under such adverse conditions,
trees will split the hardest of rock. No
rock can withstand the expansive
force Of a growing tree. Sometimes
the rock is cracked off in pieces gradu-
ally, but oftentimes big rock is split
fairly in two, the tree roots relentless
ly forcing their way downward. Time
is no consideration to the tree and
every spring it returns to the attack,
as the new sap invigorates its roots
and trunk, never giving fraction of
an inch of what it has once gained.
The fight is a slow but entirely one
sided affair.

aswat the Rail"

Since the Introduction of the house
rat in the United States they have
become extremely abundant and widely
distributed throughout the country,
where they destroy annually many
millions of dollars worth of food
products and crops. These losses
occur alike in cities, villages and
farmsteads. Their iIroads upon food
products occur in freight departments
of railroads and steamboat lines, stor-
age places of grain and food dealers,
commission houses, wholesale drug
houses, candy shops, bakeries, flour
mills, cold-storage houses, city and
country dwellings, granaries, fields
and poultry yards. The loss of food
and other products in the United
States from this source amounts to
not less than $2O0,O00,O00 annually,
which amount does not include indi-
rect losses occasioned by human dis
ease disseminated by rats and the
necessary expenditures in combating
them.
