All are fighting for the same great

They have left mothers, wives and
little ones who do not complain, but
give to the last penny, not only for
those they love, but for the relief Of
all suffering.
Nearly all Of them are working peo-
pie, but, in addition to the struggle
for bread and butter, they have found
the way to adopt and support four Or

ncessant knitting and sewing for the

HAVE APPETITE FOR PRAISE
Everybody Graves Words of Approval
and Communicated Of the Time
Iy Kind Attention.

It is q human fraiity to want praise.
We begin young to crave the APPROX
ing notice of others. There is none
like to me-" says the cub in the pride
OF his earliest kill. But the jungle Is
large, and the cub he is small let him
think and be STILL" Children brought
up In school can generally be told
from those who have been trained sol
itarily, says u writer in the Philadel-
phia Ledger, for the children thrown
much with other children are less like
ly to develop arrogance, seltishness
and conceit. They do not find their
schoolmates in a frame of mind to put
them on pedestal or crown their
brows with laurel. They are not re-
garded as little tin gods on wheels;
they are lost to sight in the shuttle of
the clasero I'M and the playground. No
body deferS to their opinions; nobody
minds when they stamp the foot and
shout angrily.
Children of q larger growth often
crave an admiration which they do not
get. They think to draw an audience
by harping on the theme of self, and
they find that the audience for that
kind of recital is likely to be limited
to the performer. To knock the ~
out of ones conversation is not neces-
sarfly to make it interesting. Many
times a narrative loses greatly in pith
and pungency by the impersonality in
which it Is couched. A story of adven-
ture greatly gains by the sense of the
f1rst-hand participation of the narrator
in the incidents he describes. When
the first person Is introduced for the
sake of the edification of the reader,
there need be no apology; when it is
speaker, it is odious altogether.
A man must do his work as well as
he can, whether he is praised for it or
not. The taste Of publicity is likely to
be what the taste Of blood is to tiger
or lion; it whets the desire for more
of the same thing. There are some
who rarely do good deed without
rushing to neighbOr or newspaper to
let it be known. To others the free
advertising" is abhorrent. They are
made happy by glowing conscious
ness that the right thing was done, and
that dissatisfaction of virtue is their
reward. But most of us have not
reached that lofty pinnacle wherein
we can abide serenely independent of
what others think or say. We want a
kind word now and then to keep US
going. We hunger for appreciation,
even when we tell ourselves we are
not worth it. Who has not known the
lift q letter of encouragement, SEN
tence of commentator, has brought?
The day is brighter for it, and we feel
refreshed, renewed. Blessed are they
who speak in time the heartening,
quickening word.

USED STRING TO STIR ANGER

Explained indicated Other CAB
bY's Brother Was Hanged.

The conversation turned on the
wonderful pungency and power OF in
yective of the old-time London cabby
us narrated by Charles Dickens IN
"Pickwick Papers" and by other au-
thors of that and a subsequent time.
"a few years ago" said DR.. John ii.
Oliver, in the Indianapolis News, i
paid my second visit to London. The
cabby and his horse had passed away
The horsedrawn omnibus was no
more, the petrol-driven bus having
taken its place. I told Briton whom
l met over there that l liked to sit on
the outside next the driver. that L
found him a most interesting charac-
ter.
$50 do L. said my British acquaint-
ance, but he Is not at all as interesting
as his predecessor of the old fashion.
I was seated beside one Of these old
time drivers going through a street
crowded with vehicles when a BUS
coming from the opposite direction
was in collision with our bus. The
wheels of the two locked and then the
highly ornate invective between the
two drivers began. 1t was the perfect
flower, yes, the full fruitage / thought
Of profanity and abuse.
"'But I was mistaken. There was
more and worse to come. When the
wheels had become unlocked and we
were slowly moving away, my friend,
the driver, drew from his pocket a bit
of string and holding it above his
head swung it slowly to and fro.
"'The other driver at once jumped
down from his bus and, whip in hand,
struck at the string-shaker. The wealth
of epithet he then used showed that all
that had preceded it was as mild and
kindly as the softest baby chatter. Our
driver answered not a word, but as he
drove slowly on continued the string
shaking.
"I wondered what there could be in
this simple bit of Gumb-show to make
the other busman so frantically angry.
Then my driver gave the explanation:
"'E didn't like it, did e? 1t was honly
a bit Of joke, don't y see. is brother

The symptoms of kidney and bladder
troubles are often very distressing and
leave the system in a rundown condition.
The kidneys seem to suffer most, as al
most every victim. complains of lame back

War Curbs Suicide,

Sir Bernard Mullet, registrar gen.
eral of the British empire, announced
recently that suicide had fallen off
strikingly in England since the begin
ming Of the war. The explanation is
that the national unity Of feeling, the
subordination of self and the sharing
of sympathy on all sides makes the in
dividuals personal injuries less i'm
portant and induces him to forget his
own desperation. Personal indulgences
and excuses of immortality, causes Of
insanity and melancholia, are curbed
and minfmized naturally by the econ
omies enforced upon the populace.
Discipline in eating, dressing, working
has also a beneficial effect in keeping
the mind sane and free from morbid
broodings.

Pioneers Lived on Corn.

We ought to be proud of corn. The
corn-fed critter, human and otherwise,
always has been strong, vigorous and
of high vitality.
In serving corn dishes on its dining
cars the Southern Pacific railway dis
tributes a small card giving recipes
and other interest'ng information, as
follows:
"The government desires that wheat
be used as sparingly as possible and
that corn be substituted.
America was pioneered on corn /;
the Pilgrim Fathers almost lived on
1t. Corn was the first crop planted in
all the virgin soil as 1t was settled,
from the Atlantic out across the Allie
ghenies; upon the broad prairies, and
beyond.

Men are put into the world to live
together. Most Of the time living
amounts to making the best of bad
business. They have to compromise
at every turn. But let them compro-
mise gracefully. 1t is worth while
having a philosophy that one can use
as one uses q comfortable everyday
coat. Some peoples philosophy is
like a fine coat, only to be put on for
dress occasions; but a man can be
himself only when clad in the clothes
that are his everyday wear. Good hui
nor is a comfortable, everyday coat;
we feel instantly at home with the
man who wears it-Exchange.

Another Puzzle.

"Is it possible for a person to say
something that will be a lie if 1t is
true?"
Eyes. If liar should say I never
told the truth in my life it would be
a lie if it was true"
"How 500"
Because that statement would be
one instance of his telling the truth,
and thus it would be false on the face
of it. And if he should say the exact
opposite, that would of course be a
lie, too. But leave that supposition
out of the question, for it may confuse
YOU. Just remember this-that If a
fellow says he never told the truth,
he must be lying"
But if he's lying, then he's telling
the truth, because his statement would
merely be another lie. SO his record
wouldn't be broken after ali"
Eyes, that's true, too. You see, that
proves that it's impossible"
Shut up! Don't tell me any more
about tim going to worry all day
as it is !''-Exchange.

An Optimist.

When the stock market was in the
midst of a bad break which proved
ruinous to many, two brokers who were
caught in the pinch met and compared
notes, relates the Cleveland Leader.
AS they talked big, happy looking
man passed, calling out cheerily to
some friends. "Who is he?" asked the
first broker. The other took good
look at the big fellow, whom he rec
ognized as a plunger who had made
a fortune, within few days. "Huh."
he said, "he's an optimist." "What
is an optimist these days?" gloomily
asked the other. Said the second brok-
er: "The kind Of man. son. who
when things are coming his way tells
other people not to worry"

Object to SUNDAY Work.

Abolishing Sundays resulted in riot

Sunday work henceforth including rest
hours, will only cover six hours. Youth
full workers of both sexes will be per-

munition manufacturers also agree to
limit work to 541a hours week for
which 561a hours pay will be given. 1t
