Proper Food.

There is no end to the discussion of
the influence of dietetics on the health.
III that discussion we find much said
about calories, proteins, and food
values generally. In the meantime the
people seem to be eating what they
want, mindless of calories or proteins.
The scientific facts concerning food
have no more effect upon people than
on the woman in the Chicago settleI
ment, who refused some healthful saw
dust and straw, saying she would eat
what shed ruther" 1t is almost im1
possible to hold people down to scien1
tif1c dietetics. Take calories, for in,
stance, the ruling element in food, butt
which sometimes are not as loudly
called for as at other times and by 9TH
er appetites, but no one thinks of cali
cries. One takes the food that suits
his palate. without any reference to|
the chemistry Of it. But the food prob
lem that does not include the habit
problem Is not to be commended. Good
habits and good food go together. Al
person of bad habits wants bad food.|
A person Of good life wants his air.

BEAUTIFUL NORTHERN
LIGHTS THURSDAY

The Northern Lights Au-
rora Berealis last Thursday
night as seen by our inhabi-
tants were the most beautiful
freaks of nature that the eye
of our oldest citizen ever gaz-
ed upon, or at least that was
the comment heard. One of
our party said while gazing
at the awe inspiring phenom-
e2on s''Never saw anything
like it since the Civil War,
we had them just as plain.
So we concluded that per-
haps it is Gods way of giving
the allies the righteous
more light so that they may
see to shoot straight. The
northern skies were so bril-
liant that print could be read
by the reflection. At times
the arc would flash to the
north star, and run for miles
along the zenith. The big
dipper" and many large stars
were dimmed by the radiance
Of the lights as the big
streaks rolled along the hori-
zon.

Work for the Highest Ends,

All work should be for the highest
ends. Making living is merely Incl
dental. "But must i've" was the ex-
cuse of a man who preyed upon his
fellows by his sharp practices. And he
deserved the retort of listener: "Ex-
cuse me; do not see the necessity"
We should work for better standards
and purer ideals, for happier homes
and better living. The humblest task
into which we put high purpose con-
tributes to this end. No day is COM
monplace in which we work for that
which is noble and best.

land Needs Civilization.

So prolific was the island of Min
doro, in the Philippines, at one time in
the production of rice that it was pop
ularly called "the granary of the Phil
ippines." Sugar, cotton, hemp and
other crops thrive on the island when
properly cultivated. Yet it's economic
conditions are extremely backward,
and a large part of it's population is
in constant state of poverty. 1t has
altogether about $4,000 inhabitants. OF
the whole, more than 1000 are pro-
nounced savage; large part of the
remainder are densely ignorant.-San

Soldiers Fighting Equipment.

The equipment of French I'M
fantryman in Napoleon's day consist
ed Of bun and a knapsack. Today
the soldier carries an array of death
dealing weapons as complete as that
of the arsenal itself, according to the
Popular Science Monthly.
Hand grenades and gun grenades,i
wire shears and rifle are carried BY
the foot soldier in the advance. Pick
ak and shovel he must have when he
reaches the trenches. Signal lanterns
and skyrockets must also be carried
by the officers to keep headquarters
constantly in touch with the progressl
Of the fight.
The periscope and the gas alarm are
as necessary as guns. Add to all these
the other implements Of war and you
will understand why physical fitness is
the principal consideration in the ex-
animation of recruits.

The Value Of Thorouqhness.

The danger in half doing ones work
with the idea Of going over 1t again
and putting on the finishing touches is
that such method tends to develop
the habit Of carelessness, the result be-
Ing that the work Is never satisfactor-
lily finished. On the other hand, the
construction Of perfect foundation
for any work inspires pride in the
building that will not permit the build
er to leave any point of the superstruc-
ture incomplete. The competent work
man and the sincere artist never have
to go back and patch up.

s'Jimmie Pygmy Hippopotamus."
said Daddy, twas very fine animals
"What is the difference between a
pygmy hippopotamus and full-sized
one?" asked Nick.
1.-THE pygmy hippopotamus." an.
swered Daddy, "is about one-four-
teenth the size of a full grown hippo-
potamus. They are different kind
and do not ever grow so large as their
big cousins.
1.-THE cousins live in rivers while the
pygmy family simply like to visit riv-
ers and go there now and again. But
they do not care to spend all their time
in the water.
'They like swampy forests and live
in the banks by the sides of rivers or
streams, making their homes under
the roots Of big, heavy. overhanginG
trees.
"Now Jimmie was very good and
gentle, but sometimes he could be-
made quite angry and he was made
sins telling him he was too small to
be Of any use. But he did not quar-
rel long with his cousin, for he thought
it was extremely mean to fight with
any of his own family. And, too, he
wanted to show his cousin how much
better was his disposition. The large
hippopotami family are dull and quiet
and gentle unless they are really
reused. Then they become furiously
angry and will do anything when they
are in temper.
Jimmie was very happy and he was
feeling his best. Along came his little
brother Jamie.
"'Hello, jamie he said.
"'Hello, Jimmie said the little
brother. will you tell your little hip
popotamus brother nice story?'
"'Yes.' said Jimmie, wrinkling his
forehead while he thought of story
to tell.
"'Soon shall have one thought up
he said, and Jamie settled down in q
shallow part of the stream and blinked
his funny eyes as though to say:
"'You had better hurry, brother
Hippo, or I'll be asleep, and then you'd
only be telling your story to the rocks
| and trees and the stream
''But Jimmie knew how sleepy jamie
was and he started right away with his
story:

cause he had built his dirt walls too
high. He couldn't escape from the men
who were trying to get him.
But the men did not want to kill

where they visit animals and look al
them as If they were strange indeed.
