CHEERFUL HEART GOES FAR
When You Come to Think of 1t, the
Man With "Grouch" Is Seldom
Popular.

To keep the face cheerful, the voice
cheerful, to do good like a medicine,
we must keep the heart cheerful.
This is not an easy matter. One does
not simply have to say: 81 will be
cheerful" and then have it so. He
has to work for cheerfulness, just as
he works to be honest or kind, or
brave, or learned. He must be looking
out for bright things to see and do.
He must deliberately, yet quickly,
choose which things he will think
about and how. He has to shut his
teeth, as it were, sometimes, and turn
away from the gloomy things, and do
something to bring back the cheerful
spirit again. If we are cheerful for
others, we are doing for ourselves.
Good given, means good sent back.
Cheerfulness can become habit, and
habit sometimes helps us over hard
places. A cheerful heart seeth cheer
full things Exchange.

Cheese, Good Solid Food,
May Take Place of Meat

In 1881 we shipped abroad nearly
15O,OOO,OOO pounds of cheese, in 1914,
Just before the war cut off our trade,
we shipped only 100000, says William
Leavitt Stoddard in the Mothers Mag
azine. We simply did not appreciate
cheese, and we came to rely on other
nations for our supply. We relied on
foreign cheese makers to such an ex-
tent that whereas in 1900 we bought
only 13.5O0OOO pounds from abroad, in
1914 we bought nearly five times as
much, or 64,OO0O00 pounds, much of
which could and should have been pro-
duced in the United States. 1t is
bound to take some years to reverse
this drift of things. BY legislative fiat
or court decree no governmental power
can induce folks to eat cheese. Per-
haps the war will do what courts and
congress cannot.

Difference Between Enemy
Alien and the Alien Enemy.

The distinction between the terms
enemy alien" and "alien enemy" ap-
pears to be lost on a large number of
persons, who use the term interchange
ably as having the same meaning. An
enemy alien is any person who Is cit
izen or subject of one of the countries
with which the United States is at war.
So long as he'is well behaved, observes
the laws of this country and neither by
speech nor act attempts to injure this
country or aid the country of which he
is subject, he continues to be only
an enemy alien, and Is not regarded as
dangerous, but if he engages or at
tempts to engage in any overt acts
against this country his status changes
to that of aliea enemy, which puts him
IA the dan rous class and makes him
liable to imprisonment or internment.
All subjects of Germany and Austria
living in the United States today are

Secret of Longevity of
Indian Is That He Lives
In Open, Eats Plain Food

Chief Manitoweg white Wings), an
Indian evangelist of the Siwash tribe,
who has been preaching in churches In
Harlem and in New Jersey, told his
auditors of the good health and longev-
ity of the Indian.
"The Indian" he said, "who lives in
his native state on the reservation at
tains an age that few members of the
white race would believe possible ]
am aware that my race is rapidly be-
coming extinct, but this is because so
many Indians have followed the mode
of life of the paleface and the soften
ing influences of civilization. 1 have
sister who is more. than one hundred
years old, and know Indians today on
the reservations who are more than
one hundred, and whose births are
matter Of record. I am sixty-nine my
all once knew an Indian woman
who lived to be one hundred and TWEEN
V-eight years old.
Il am often asked what is the secret
of the longevity of these Indians. The
answer Is simple, so long as an Indian
VIII live in the open, drink pure water
only and eat plain food. Many such In
dams are at their best physically at
the age of fifty. The Indian at fifty
still has his hair, his teeth and his
eyesight, and can run ten miles before
breakfast without an effort. I was
preaching recently at church in New
ark, N. j., and after the service man
of thirty-four came to me and asked
why it was that so many Indians had
thick hair and were not afflicted with
badness. He remarked that he had
never seen baldheaded Indian. This
man himself was as bald as billiard
ball.
"I will tell you, my friend I told
him, 1T is the truth, although you will
probably not believe me. When the In
dian goes to bed he at once goes to
sleep; it is different with the white
man, who takes his troubles to bed
with him, and always has something
on his mind"

Magnetic Storms Interfere
With the Flight of Pigeons.

One of the many explanations that
have been offered to account for the
fact that migrating birds are able to
find their way by night and in cloudy
or foggy weather is that they are SEN
sitive in some way to currents of ter
restrial magnetism, and therefore oil
rect their fight by the magnetic me-
ridians. This suggestion was put forth
by M. A. Thauzies, a French pigeon
fancier, who declares that carrier
pigeons make poor flights during the
occurrence of magnetic storms. He
also asserts that the general use OF
wireless telegraphy has diminished the
reliability of the birds to surprising
extent.-Popular Science Monthly.

Penalties for Profiteering
Fall on Foodstuff Dealers.

Notwithstanding Hoover's handicap

A most delicious dessert very simple
and easy to prepare and one that Is
most attractive to look at is junket,
served in sherbet cups, topped with a
spoonful of raspberries or any sweet
ened fruit and over this spoonful Of
sweetened whipped cream.
To prepare the junket take a junket
tablet and dissolve 1t in tablespoon
full of cold water. Warm pint Of
milk until just luke warm, like new
milk, add the dissolved tablet and stir
well to mix it thoroughly through the
milk, flavor and sweeten to taste and
pour into sherbet cups. Let stand in
the kitchen until the junket Is firm,
then set on ice. Fresh berries of any
kind when crushed and mixed with
equal measures of sugar will keep in
definitely when carefully sealed and
kept in a cool place. Junket tablets
come in small wooden box and will
keep well until used.
Canned fruit may be used for this
dessert, but it is not as good as the
fresh.
