Smith, was a native of Colorado, aged about 23 years, that he came to his death on the 7th day of January, 1918, in this county, by the result of a gunshot wound; and we further find, that we believe Frank Lacey to be the person by whose act the death of the said George W.

PATRIOTIC EATING.

is patriotic duty to eat properly.

Norton, editor of the Journal of Home
Economics and associated now with
the United States Food Administra-

on the smile that accepts all forms of
war bread and sweetless desserts
without grumbling.
1T is not a patriotic boast to saw.
didn't have time for lunch or 4
swallowed my food whole Instead of
patriotic duty, it is betrayal of the
trust reposed in your common sense
and intelligence" declares Mrs. Nor
ton.
Eat properly; that is a patriotic
duty. Let only an emergency inter-
fere, and don't let that emergency
occur often. We ought to boast that
we can accomplish our work so that
we have timeSfor our meals, and il we
take time for our meals we can ac-
complish more work. It seems to me
that there has never been a time when
1t is so necessary for every one to be
at his best. mentally and physically,
and to have poise. both of mind and
body. Half-eaten, hurried meals do
not make for poise.
To-day one of the things we need is
speed but we get more speed when
We can think clearly, and we think
clearly when our bodies are well. It
is only the genius who can keep busy
every minute, without meals ana
proper rest, and still work effectively.
Many persons set such a pace that by
the end of the day they are excited
and hysterical. When an emergency
comes they cannot meet it. They fail
when they are most needed. Their
nerves may break down under the
strain they have imposed upon them
selves. In America we often saw. II
am SO busy We say so much about
it that we make ourselves feel hur-
ried just by talking. And, arter all.
the busy is very much in our own
attitude.
"It is worth while occasionally even
to sit still and hold ones hands. We
need more of the serenity and peace
that come with quiet Instead of
speeding up, we actually lose time If
we don't get certain amount of rec
reation. Even President Wilson goes
golfing.
Smile while You eat. Don't pr,m-
BILE about the food. The mental and
spiritual attitude counts for dieesti-
bility. If you go to lunchroom and
complain about the food, or go home
and complain about the food. that
whole spirit is unfavorable to diees-
ton"

then again maybe couldn't I'd take
a look, anyway.
1t was seein' a light in Danny
Shea's little cottage, back on a side
lane, that gave me my original hunch.
Danny is one of the important Off
cials, of the Long Island railroad, if
you let him tell It. He's the flagman
down where the highway and trolley
line cross the tracks at grade, and
when his rheumatism amt maxim

HOME TOWN FEELING

The home town means a lot more to
some people than to others. Some
people do not feel close ties to any
place. They move around without
feeling of regret or loss. They do
not feel badly to part with the friends
they make, because they do not create
intimate ties. They do not acknowel-
edge obligation to work in cooper
alton with their fellow citizens, and
no one feels any obligation to help
them along. They play a lone hand
all their days, and never get far.
Other people have an intense feel
ing of loyalty binding them to the
home soil. 1t is partly sentimental
affection, partly keen sense of the
advantages of business unity and CO.
operation. They feel united by a
common tie to all the people who live
in the town.
Insofar as our people acquire that
point of view, we shall attain our ide-
ais as acommunity. This involves CIV
ing preference in all our business re-
lations to anything that comes from
the home town.
When a town fully acquires that
unity of spirit and purpose and feel
ing, the possibilities of its progress
are enormous. 1t advances as a COM
pact mass of people devoted to one
end, and not as a lot of separate indi
viduals all working for diverse pur-
poses.-Springfeld Republican.
