DON'T FRET ABOUT TRIPLES
Magnifyine Petty Mistakes and Trou.
bIes Weakens Ones Ability to
Master Bigger Problems.

Some OF us rather o~verdriven women
get into a habit of magnifying the pet
ty mistakes or troubles of d~isagreeable
events of the day, the business day,
and making them out very big and ter
rible. The result is a loss of energy,
for magnified troubles bring worry and
anxiety, which is a sort of poison to
the mind and even to the body, writes
Jessie Roberts in the Houston Post.
Don't hang on to the mistakes of
yesterday. Today's will be easier to
manage if you haven't that drag on
you, and by a little more firmness you
can soon get to the point when the an
noyance of the moment gets itself set
tied In that moment and then is drop
ped.
We would think 1t q fool thing to
feed u body poison, even In the mi
nutest particles; but we feed our
nerves poison, even though it be in
small quantities, when we deliberately
fret and worry over small things, MAX
ing them huge and important by the
mere turning of them over and over.
These are strenuous days. Don't
weaken your strength by unnecessary
and harmful fussing over trifies. After
you have done whatever can be done
to remedy what has gone wrong. turn
your mind away from it. Refuse to be
dominated by small mistakes. Few of
us, by the way, are terrified by a really
big thing. We rouse up and meet 1t
definitely and firmly, unless we have a
yellow streak. But the small thing
often breaks down our ncryes-and
then our nerve.

ToRPEDoES ON FOUR WHEELS
Explosive Propelled Toward Enemy
Trenches and Controlled by Means
of Wires Attached to Works.

La Domenica Del Corriere, Italy, re-
ports a new war device, the invention
of an English engineer, STAFFORD Tai
bot. Literally, it is a torpedo on wheels
which may be propelled toward the en-
envy trenches and controlled from the
starting point by means of attached
wires.
The explosive is mounted or a metal
lie box which rides on four wheels.
Attached to the box is a continuance
consisting of a dynamo which propels
the wheels. The entire machine Is
electrically controlled, permitting the
explosion Of the charge at the desired
moment.
Two parallel wires connect the tor
pedo with the control station. These
are carried on spools and unwind as
the machine advances. The power Is
derived from accommodating batteries
at the starting point. When it is de-
sired to fire the charge all that Is re-
CURED is to push a button. According
to the inventor the total cost Of this
contrivance is about $3.50.

Chemistry Recognized Science.

Chemistry has been accorded an al
most formal recognition as the science
at the heart of modern warfare. The
British ministry of reconstruction has
pointed out hat Germany selected the
chemical industry for especial nurture
In making its war preparations, es-
recially that part of the industry deal
ing with coal tar derivatives, in which
field the imperial government gradual
ly won a temporary world monopoly.
The minister of reconstruction has ap-
pointed a committee Of six chemists
to investigate the situation in England
and to recommend a plan for making
the British chemical industry self-sus-
tanning and equal TO any call upon 1t
during and after the war.

"Junker" is philologically akin to
"Jonkheer" and has a quasi-equivalent
in the English Squire" The Junker
Is a man of some birth and of Inherit

scribe that large class of Prussians

whose worldly possessions are such as
to give them as appreciate stake in

If the trip is not essential he can save
