Harry declared he stands ready to offer

Pollok refers to a match between
Marin Plestna the infant who has been
"barred by the Wrestling Trust" and
Wladek Zbyszko and "Strangler" Lewis,
Marin agreeing to wrestle both Wladek
and Lewis to finish on the same night,
each man to post $1,000 as side bet
and one fall to count.
To make the affair doubly interesting,
this Plestina person insists that he
will donate his share OF the gate re-

and he likewise insists that Lewis and
Zbyszko do the same. If he fails to
throw both his opponents this strange

HOME

One of our subscribers who enjoys
the Home Circle column hands us the
following beautiful thoughts on the
appreciation of the home, which we
gladly give place in our Home Circle
department, and wish that more of our
lady readers might become contribu.
tors to this column, for we do feel it an
opportunity granted US to make the
world feel little bit better and bright
er for our having lived in it:
"When the chilly blasts of winter
shrek across the frozen earth and the
pitiless snow bides from our sight the
last vesti ge OF what remains of sum.
mer, when the frozen streams and leaf
less trees look barren and desoate,
and even the beasts of the field cling
closer to their protecting shelter how
dreadful is the thought that perhaps
some poor homeless wanderer is out in
the storm. 1t is then that we turn to
our own fireSide and smile at the dear
faces of our loved ones; it is then we
fully appreciate that priceless gift God
has given us-home, where we can find
rest and comfort unmolested; home,
where we can breathe our sorrows to
sympathetic ears; home, where our
Joys are the happiness of others; home,
where true hearts beat in unison with
one another and happiness is found in
it's fullest meaning So should we
strive in our own way to make our
homelife better and brighter. A kind
ly word at parting, pleasant smile in
greeting, an approving glance, an er-
couraging word, or helping hand,
each in their place, and we never
know their power for good. So let us,
to whom God has given these blessings
make them what they should be,
paradise on earth, where weary hearts
can find rest and peace after the toll OF
the day is over"

GERMAN RETREAT BRINGS
NEW WORK FOR RED CROSS

In France the retreat Of the German
armies and the redemption of wide ter
ritory has produced tremendous ex-
pansion of all Red Cross activities.
The German retreat widens the syste-
matte destruction not only of cities
and villages but of practically every
thing In the evacuated territory.
1t will be necessary to provide at
once for the housing of homeless refu-
gees In the devastated areas and In
the temporary reconstruction of VII
lagos. 1t will be necessary to provide
also clothing, cloth and dressmaking
supplies, sewing machines, In addition
TO foodstuffs and medical supplies,
throughout all this territory.
With the coming again Of winter, the
fight against tuberculosis must be TAX
en- up with renewed energy. Seventy
six tuberculosis hospitals have been
completed and are In operation, but
acquisitions have been made for nine
ty-six provisional hospitals, all to be
In operation before winter The Red
Cross has adopted as slogan ito visit
every baby In France" 1t Is estimat-
ed that 10000 French babies died last
year, 10000 Of whom might have been
saved. One Of the immediate objects
of the Red Cross Is to save those 5000
babies in 1919.

OF all American animals, bghorn,
the mountain sheep, is one of the most
remarkable. Not only is he equally
remarkable In his ability to live, and
live well, In an environment where It
would seem that no animal of such
size could possibly sustain life. There,
on the roof of the world, he not only
sustains life, but winter or summer,
appears to be fat and in the best of

Preserving Spiders Webs.

In order to preserve spiders webs,
naturalists employ an ingenious meth
cd. The webs are first sprayed from
an atomiZer with thin solution of art
lists shellac, and then, should they be
of the ordinary geOmetric form, they
are pressed carefully against glass
plate, the supporting strands at the
same time being severed. After the
shellac solution has dried the plates
carrying the webs can be stored away
In cabinet.

There are statues and monuments

erect. But he's too modest to wish
that his name be on it in glory enroll
ed, that others may copy we'll proudly
proclaim his virtues In letters of gold,
At dawn he Will rise without waking
his spouse and start up the heater and

over the house and then-without
thinking it strange-he'll put on the
kettle and something to cook for
breakfast, the table he'll set, so when
his dear wife hurries downward to look

supper at night to his wife he will say,
"My dear, you are tired | know.
You've worked for the children and
me all day without any stop" (Which

Curing Spice.

In the Spice islands the cloves are
sometimes cured by being smoked
over wood fire until they assume
deep brown color, when the further
drying Is accomplished by the sun.
Occasionally the buds are scalded be-
fore being dried. If bright sunhy days
prevail artificial heat may be dispensed
with and the buds sun-drled from first
to last. The crop loses about 60 per
cent In drying.

An author is known by his writings
"a mother by her daughter, fool by
his words, all men by their compan-

There never was a greater humbug
uttered than the old adage, "The hand
that rocks the cradle rules the world"
True, it has a very soothing palation
to a mans troubled brain, as he puts
his cigar in his mouth, puts on his hat
and goes out to spend the evening
with a club of the same grade of So
cial purity as himself, leaving his wife
alone to the task Of teaching her
young sons that they must avoid the
gatherings of the wicked that home
is a safe place for them; that cigar
cites are a moral and bodily poison;
in short, that they must respect their
father but not follow his example.

The great American sin Is profanity.
The use of profane language is not
confined to the street loafer, the thug
and the sot; men who move in good
sosiety, business men of standing and
reputation, young men and old men.
and even boys Of tender years are nd
dicted to this unexcusable habit and
sin. There il nothing more disgusting
than to hear man pmnctuate his
every utterance with lurid oaths.

Earliest Form of Shoes.

The earliest shoes known were sam
dals Of hide, leather or wood. When
one encounters the word "shoe" In the
Bible he may be sure that it is the
sandal that is commonly meant. In
Egypt the sandal was woven of palm
leaves and papyrus. AS a symbol Of
the subsection of their enemies the
Egyptians often painted the figures OF
their opponents on the lining Of their
sandals.
