Iy THE Home of the Soul"
Mrs. Waldo then gave the following
.eulogy:
IN MEMoRIAM.
We are mourning today over the
passing away of our friend. Mrs.
Mabel Hnli Sinden. which occurred
Sunday erening. February II. 1918.
Words are feeble to express our deep
sorrow which fills our hearts. She
seemed 30 young. SO full of life and
helpfulness that It Is hard to give her
up, to realize that she has laid down
her life work and is resting from her
iabors." But we mus. come to feel
that, though young in years. she gave
out 80 much of love and sympathy to
alleviate the sorrow and trouble of
others that she was old In experience.
I'VE live In deeds not years.
He lives most who thinks mos,
feels the nobiest. acts the best
And he whose heart beats quick
est lives the longest: Lives in
one hour more than in years do
some"
Our hearts are aching because we
are left to 'go on through life without
the cheering presence of one whose
every act and word was an inspir-
alton to live up 20 the highest ideal of
all that was good and true. But
deeply az we feel, or sympathize with
this sorrow, We ought to feel grateful
for our having known this life which
was helpful to all who came to know
and understand K. She was thorough
ty true and everyone felt she could
be trusted. Her kindly words and
acts were real sacraments too. not
selfish ones for her own salvation,
but better ones for others. Her life
has not been short when measured by
its results. A life of devotion to fam
ily and friends and who can tell
where or when the noble influence of
that life will end. We are grateful
for this life which has inspired US to
Try 20 emulate her example. 10 live
more earnestly. TO do good unto all
those who need help and comfort. She
lived so much more than most Of us.
and this helps a little to reconcile US
TO her death. and. It helps little

EAT MORE POTATOES
Increased Use Will Bring About
Saving of Grain.
Agricultural Department suggests TuH
bers Be Given More Prominent
Place In Luncheons.

Washington.-The eating Of more
potatoes for supper, or for luncheon.
II the family Is accustomed to have DIN
ner at night, is a suggestion Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture, In order that the tremendous crop
Of tubers produced In the United
States this year may be utilized as
fully as possible and spoilage avoided.
Such increased use should, at the same
time, bring about saving Of grain,
since one common result of eating
more potatoes Is the eating Of less
wheat bread. which is a reasonable
suggestion when one remembers that
both Of them are used as a source Of
starch In the diet. This reduction In
grain consumption Is desirable, the de-
partment points out, and there Is great
need of grain for shipment to our sol
diers and to the soldiers and civilians
Of other countries engaged with rs in
the war against Germany.
The use of more potatoes for lunch
con should be a simple matter, In the
opinion Of specialists Of the depart
ment Of agriculture, since practically
all Americans like potatoes and since
there are numerous ways in which the
tubers may be prepared to avoid a
sameness In the diet. Potatoes, even
Ia their simplest forms-baked and
boiled-maks good luncheon dishes.
They may also be used for making q
variety Of dishes, such as creamed
and escalloped potatoes, with or with
out cheese; stuffed potatoes. potato
croquettes, and 80 on. Combination
dishes, such as hash. stews, meat pies
with potato crust, and so on, in which
q considerable amount Of potato II
used with other foods, may constitute
practically an entire luncheon, being
hearty enough to serve for the purpose
with little salad or fruit or sweets.

JOLT FOR BAR Lane"
Mutual Inquiries Established That Ev.
srybody Saw What Everybody
Else Saw-Anyhow II Was q
Good Temperance Lesson.

Chicago-West Madison street Is
trying to solve the strange mystery Of
the wicker suitcase and the eight-foot
snake. In some ways the tale has
more wriggles than the story Of the
mahogany table and the clucking hen.
A young man YEARLY moving west
ward with what appeared to be a
heavy and aged suitcase stopped In
front Of 1341 West Madison street and
laid his burden down. He looked all
about him and then cautiously stopped
and unfastened the catch Of the suit
case and threw 1t open.
We Mystery Appears.
The corner policeman heard q
scream Of fright and saw the young
man Logging 1t westward. Habitues
of "bar lane" beat the policeman to
the suitcase for one look at the thing
that turned the self-contained young
man into frenzied caitiff. Then West
Madison street fell back In disorder.
The head Of a snake appeared and
then eight feet of snake wriggled out
on to the sidewalk.
After many mutual inquiries by
which 1t was established that every
body saw what everybody else saw 1t
was decided to call the police wagon
and one was rushed to the scene forth
with.
The snake crawled back into the
suitcase soon after the police arrived

spring styles have appeared, enticing-

torn between two minds, and no one
can settle the matter for her. 1t must
be decided by the climate she lives In,
the kind of service she requires Of the
suit, becomingness of the styles and
other personal matters.
