GOT THE PROMISED CHILD
How chilcat Natives Kept Their Word
With the Missionaries, Of Five
Years Standing.

In my intimate companionship with
Muir In Alaska l saw many instances
of his warm human sympathy, S. Hall
Young writes in World Outlook. One
occurred when in 1879 we were visit
ing the tribe OF Chilcats. These Chill
cats, recognized as the most warlike
and arrogant CT the Thlinget tribes,
were nevertheless so interested in the
gospel message / had to bring them
that they crowded the house where we
lodged, filling it full and prying off
planks from its side so that those with
out could hear.
The first night we spent in the viii
lage, after an all-day's palaver, we
were about to retire to our blankets
when a woman brought q baby TO us
which was almost q skeleton from lack
of nOurishment. and whose feeble cry
was most pitiful o hear. The woman
explained that the baby's mother had
died, and that they had no food for the
child-none of the other women being
In condition TO nurse ii. AT once Muir
and l set about preparing condensed
milk for the baby. We diluted IL with
warm water until we thought it of the
proper consistency, and fed it to the
starving baby. The child was almost
too weak to take this nourishment, and
1t required the utmost patience and
care to feed ii. Muir worked with
that little papoose almost all night,
rocking it in his arms and soothing
It's cries, and when at last it rested in
healthful, refreshing sleep, he care
fully showed the woman how to pre-
pare its food, and insisted upon leav-
ing all of our remaining canned milk
for the baby. The natives voluntarily
told me when we were about to leave
that If the baby lived it belonged to
me and they would bring it down ito
Fort Wrangel. / thought but little of
this promise, knowing how easily
people forget such things; but five
years after this occurrence l was sur
prised to have some Chilcat natives
bring sturdy and healthy little boy,
and formally give him to me, saying
that this was the baby whose life we
had saved, and he therefore belonged
to us. The child was taken into our
mission at Wrangel, and 1 baptized
him with the name of "John," after
my friend.

Lard Substitute From Fish Oil

BY treating fish oil with hydrogen
a chemist has produced an oil, and
also solid substance very much re-
sembling lard, which is entirely taste
less and when used in pastry or bread
produces most satisfactory results, ac-
cording 10 demonstration employed
by the bureau of fisheries. The new
product is to be placed on the market
and ii is the hope of the food admin
istration that ii will prove acceptable.
Special value attaches TO any process
which. like the one referred to. makes
available a fat obtained from sources
heretofore unutilized.--Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.

California Women on Farms

Four hundred and sixty-five "farm-
erettes" were sent out from the south
ern California branch Of the woman's
land service at Los Angeles from May
1 to July II. last, to aid California
ranchers in their efforts TO increase the
country's food supply. Nearly all OF
these have remained In the service,
and as proof that these young women
are capably filling the places of men
called into the army or other activities
connected with the war, II was pointed
out at the headquarters of the service
that many of their requests for help
came from ranches near those TO which
units had previously been sent.
Volunteers In the woman's land army
sent out from Los Angeles include
teachers, stenographers. saleswomen.
mattresses and school girls. Most OF
them have been employed in gathering
and preparing for market deciduous
fruits. Activities of others have i'm
cluded driving tractors, dairying, plant
ing tomatoes, harvesting various crops
and making hay.
The dairy industry has taken large
dairies near Los Angeles, women hav-
ing largely replaced men as mixers
OF the first units sent to the diaries

MIXED before, and most Of them were

RIGHT WILL WIN

Right must win whatever the cost;
Right must win or the world is lost!
And Right will win IL we fight for 1t,
If we summon the whole of our might for
1t
Right will prevail.
Cling to the thought with might and
main,
With body and soul and heart and brain,
That Right must win, whatever the cost
When toll, wealth, life, in the scales are
tossed
Right will prevail.
Nights the weight Of a cave mans
fists;
Right is a knight squirting into the lists.
Justice his sword and right his spear,
Brain alert and heart without fear;
Right must prevail.
Whatever the cost the Right must win!
To linger is craven, to doubt is sin;
Are you ready the price TO pay
To save the world for saner day?
Then Right will prevail

New Torpedo Catcher" Said
to Illustrate a Shipwreck

A new method of fighting the U-boat
menace is for the attacked vessel to
drop depth charge as the torpedo ap-
proaches. In daylight the wake Of the
torpedo can usually be seen quite clear
~. When the depth charge explodes
ii either causes the premature explo-
sion of the torpedo or else diverts the
deadly missile from its course. This
was found out quite by accident. A
ships officer. in his excitement one
day. threw a depth charge overheard.
II did the trick.-Casselrs Journal.
