LET WORK ExTINGUISH GRIEF
Best of All Antidotes for Excessive
Sorrow Over Parting From Those
Who Go Forth to Fight.

Grief is an attitude of mind. With
some people it is habit.
In sense we owe it, as a sort of
deferential token of our love and es-
TEEN, to manifest a reasonable amount
of grief for those whom duty has
called to danger and suffering.
Everybody knows, however, that the
intensity and duration of the visible
manifestation of grief are seldom in
direct proportion to the sincerity of
our love and esteem.
1t is hard to be obliged to yield man
or boy we love to become cannon fed
der for the Hun. 1t is a cause for
intense sorrow, but it is no cause or
excuse for insensibility to our own
immediate duty toward that man or
boy.
1t is our battle they are fighting,
and they cannot shoot nor eat our
tears.
They say it. is the anguish of wait
ing that makes it so hard on the wom-
en-. If that is the cause of our grief,
we have an easy solution-just stop
waiting and get busy. There is plenty
to do.
To have something before you, clear
ly seen, which you know you must do.
and can do, and will spend your ut
most strength and perhaps life in do
ing, that is one form at least of very
high happiness, and one that appeals
the facts prove it-not only to saints
and heroes, but to average men.
And those who can love enough and
are strong enough in heart, will find
opportunity for the same happiness,
that same exhilaration in doing their
part, here at home.
This is the real triumph, the great
victory which must be won over
there, If any permanent good is to
come of this great tragedy.-The Moth
er's Magazine.

UTILIZE COMBINES or DOGS

Somewhat Odd Materials.

and fluffy raw material Is? Just
simply the combings of Fido and Fiji,
and host of similar pets. The soft
ness of these combings suggests be-
fore-the-war Shetland, and the wool
produced provides for jerseys, muf-
fiers, bed-socks, and operation stock
ings, of which the Red Cross say they
can never have too many. OF course
these doggie combings receive special
treatment before they reach the spin

dogs hair for wool manufacture is not

it in London that only the fear of
looking absurd prevented the wom-

service from instituting a scheme for
collecting dogs hair. Perhaps the lit
tie dogs are, trying to justify their tiny
lives, in the face of suggestions that
their food is more needed in England
now than their presence.

WORK HARD AND DON'T WORRY
II There May Be Said to Be Recipe
for a Long and Happy Life,
Why, There 1t Is.

America is anXiOusly scanning the
casualty lists these days polgnantly
sensitive to the dread possibilities of
war. Yet, if we paused to think, we
should find, as the Equitable Life As
surance society has deducted from its
vast experience in mortality data, that
worry kills more men than war and
disease put together" We read of those
killed in action, dead of wounds, ac-
cidents or disease at the front, and
our hearts are wrung for the loss Of
these brave boys, but day by day
larger company falls out of our own
ranks here at home to answer the last
call, the Pittsburgh Dispatch observes.
Some are spoken of as victims
of hard work, of overexertion, but If
the truth were known, it would be
found it was worry that fastened their
end. Hard work never killed anyone.
1t is worry that kills.
A young man, for instance, rises to
the head of good business or to some
other responsible position. Perhaps
lie DeSliiS W SldCheI, 10 ease uD q I1L-
tie, and leaves the details to his SUBJ
ordinates. Things do not move as
smoothly, and, when he wakes up, he
finds he has lost his grip of affairs and
begins to worry. His friends think
hard work killed him, but it was worry
that shortened his years. While he
was fighting his way upward his work
engrossed him, as 1t will any man
capable of career. Work left him no
time for worry. Keep pegging away.
Worry is the grain Of dust that up
sets the fine balance of the human
mechanism, brings loss of power, slow
Ing down the engine and ultimately
racking it to pieces.
Bear in mind that "worry kills more
men than war and disease put togeth-
err" and so shape your life and hab-
ituate your mind that you cannot be a
victim.

Hard and Soft Water.

The difference between hard and soft
water consists in that hard water con-
tains certain salts that are not con-
tanned at all or in very small quaint
ties in soft water. These are almost
always calcium or magnesium salts, ex-
tracted from the earth through which
the water has passed. 1t is. therefore,
easy to understand why they are not
contained in rain water, which is form
ed by the aqueous vapor more or less
contained in the air.
When soap is employed with hard
water there Is produced a chemical
transformation II which the soap Is
changed into a substance that does not
dissolve In water, while soap used with
soft water produces a substance that
dissolves in water and gives an excel
lent lather, and is, therefore. good to
wash with. Hard water can ne distin-
guished from soft wafer by an exami-
nation with a soap solution.

Garden for Invalid.

If you have an invalid friend, you
can make her garden that she will
enjoy for a very little money. Buy
a small gold fish bowl and have a
piece of glass to fit over the top. Then
go out into the woods and get piece
of moss for the bottom and find a
small plant or a tiny fern and set it
out in the moss or plant a nasturtium
seed. The moisture from the plant
will keep it growing; there will be no
need to water it, and the invalid can
have her little garden right near the
he'd, can even take 1t in her hands and
atch it grow. 1t will be joy for
vccl5s.

Simplicity is the rule in German toy

with cement to make the bodies, pre-

Wax, used for the heads, is almost

before the war. Toys cost at least
twice as much as formerly, metal toys

under ground. The beetles appear in
early spring and continue until the
cold weather of September or October,
| according to locality. One female can
/ produce 1900 and 1900 eggs. The
possible progeny of two or three
broOds is enormous. In 1916 it is esti-
mated that at least 20 per cent of the
potato crop suffered from its ravages.
During 1917, for no reason which can
be assigned, the insect was conspicu-
GUS by its absence, but in another year
or two it may be as troublesome as
ever. 1t is certain to appear locally
in numbers.
The best remedies are arsenicals,
and of these arsenate of lead is in
many respects preferable to paris
green, which it is rapidly replacing
The high price of all copper COM
pounds incident to the war has result
ed in an increase in the price Of paris
green, while lead arsenate, although it
also has increased in price, is some
what cheaper.
Use of Poisons.
Lead arsenate does not kill as
quickly as paris green, but insects
cease feeding as soon as they receive
a poisonous dose. It is sold in both
powdered form and paste form, and is
used at the rate of two pounds of pow
der to so gallons of water, or bordeaux
mixture, or in paste at double this
strength. In small gardens two-thirds
of an ounce or one level teaspoonful to
a gallon of water is in the same pro-
portion. For the paste form 1 1-3
ounces or three level teaspoonfuls are
used to a gallon of water.
For the proper application Of this
spray sprayer of the best type and
approved nozzles should be employed.
A single application when the slugs
first appear will kill most of them, but
a second or third dose may sometimes
be required. Later on other broods
must be treated in the same manner.
Other remedies, such as jarring
beetles and 'slugs" early in the season
by brushing them from the plants into
large shallow milk pans containing q
thin scum of kerosene, and hand-piek-
ing, are of value early in the season,
but are too laborious for large acre
age.
