The Homelike Church"
1t ought not to be true. but doubtless
1t is true that the church is about the
only place where most of us pay much
attention to our inner life. And that
life is the most important of all
Do you know that your thoughts rule
your life.
Be they pure or impure in the strife?
As you think so you are;
And you make or mar
Your success in the world by your

So just little more faithfulness to
to the church would seem to help.

USE FOR THE WINTER ASHES
Accumulation From Furnaces and
Stoves May Be P~rofitabIy Mixed
With Heavy Clay in Gardens.

Saving the ashes from furnaces and
stoves, and utilizing the winters sup
ply on gardens that are constituted Of
heavy clay, has been found to be q
very good plan, observes q writer. A
great many Of the gardens in various
sections are of such heavy clay that it
Is difficult to work them successfully.
Yet in most cases the owners are
throwing away the very substance that
can change the texture Of these heavy
clay soils. There are many piles Of
coal ashes that the producer hires
hauled away which should go onto this
heavy soil.
This work Of improvement should 20
on for many years, as only a thin lay
er Of ashes should be applied at one
time. 1t is better to have a layer about
an inch at any n turning over Of
the soil SO that the ashes will be thor
oughly mixed with the clay. If the
layer Of ashes is too thick some Of it
will lie in pockets in the soil and this
may for a time interfere with the up
ward movement Of soil water during
the dry time Of summer when the
plants must have this capillary supply
Of moisture to do well.
But at different times in the same
year layers Of coal ashes can be thus
worked in, for the clay soil rapidly be-
comes incorporated with the lighter
material. I know of heavy clay soil
that mas yearly had an application of
coal ashes for the last IS years and
has sc thoroughly combined with the
applied material that the soil is now in
excellent condition and not at all too
light in texture as it might be thought
to be.
The ashes do not need to be sifted,
but should have the unburned coal
picked out, as the pure carbon will re-
main as it is for a lifetime or more.
But most Of the big cinders will de-
compose very rapidly, as the carbon
has been driven off in the burning. A
small proportion Of unburned coal will
not do any particular damage.

KEEPING THEIR HELP BUSY
Labor Turnover Is a Most Important
Problem for Majority Of Stores
In Matter Of Help.

These days, when good help IL
scarce and hard to get, says a trade
authority, and when every store is CIV
ing more consideration than ever to
the reduction Of me labor turnover,
anything that tends to keep people en-
ployed even when, from the depart
ment standpoint, it is not the season
for such employment, is beneficial.
Some stores have foupd this out, while
others let their help 60 when the sea-
son gets slack and 60 to the trouble
and expense of rebiring them later, If
they car get them.
There are some stores, however, that
are keen on keeping down q labor turn
over to the lowest possible point. They
keep workroom forces employed both
in and out of season, setting them at
making lampshades and other novel;
ties, where needle skill is required.
when there is no occasion for them to
work at their regular trade. Because
this assures the workers of employ
ment ALI through the year, the stores
In question not only have little trouble
In getting the employees they need,
but also get the best ones. ,

Our Expanding Needs.


The need for saving and economy
by u people, the need for the most
liberal and loyal financial support of
our Government by the people and in
cidentally the need for some such
financial machinery as that sought to
be secured by the finance corporation
bill now pending in Congress are not
only verified by the extraordinary de-
mands made upon the United States
to meet it's a needs and the war
needs Of it's allies, but are also empha-
sized by the growth of our own do
nestle trade.
The domestic trade of the United
States for 1917 was estimated by Prof.
Anderson, of Harvard university, at
$64, 900, 900, 900; in 1913 it was but

the country to take care of this tre-
mendous increase in our domestic

appreciated by all.
The Secretary of the Treasury, in
drafting the war finance bill gave
thorough study to the measures adopt
ed by our allies in Europe and to the
conditions in this country and it is
believed that the proposed bill is a
wise and conservative val measure to
give relief during the period of the
war. 1t is primarily a measure to
enable the financial institutions Of the
country to furnish necessary credits
to industries and enterprises neces-
sary to the prosecution of the war and
Secretary Meade" is of the opinion
that the mere O. 2tcnce of the ma
chinery establish hy this act would
be so effective maintaining con-
fidence that the q tual exercise OF the
power would be seldom needed.

Junior Red Cross.

The children of the United States
are to share in the great war, not in
the fighting forces, Of course, but in a
very vital way nevertheless, says Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. With the
approval Of the president, the Red
Cross has undertaken the organization
Of the country's millions Of school chill
dren into the Junior Red Cross.
Among the tasks they will undertake,
under the guidance of their teachers
and others, are the making Of knitted
articles, saving Of garden seed for use
In rchabilitating France, making Gre
tonne rest pillows filed with snippings
from odds and ends Of material, max
Ing crutch pads Of %unbleached muslin,
and others, r the making of knitted

Of the Red Cross fund. In an executive
