some rather remarkable exhibitions
of her prowess. A fellow passenger
asked her IL she could tell when the
wal would end. Her answer was
prompt and positive: "On the 14th
day OF November, 1918" The story
reached Miller several weeks ago
through a letter from Cole Stratton
to his father. Thomas Stratton. OF this

Flags were displayed on all down

CHE LAUGHS REST,

There is one man in the country in these days of
Investigations who sit back in his swivel chair
and laugh hearty, hilarious contented laugh. 1t is
Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy
It is not long since Hearst and a whole swarm of
smaller pests bombardng the universe with their
railing against Daniels the and everything
with It, The good ship Piffle, Juice and
Daniels the standing jokes Of the day. The whole
gamut OF abuse and ridicule by the pack
in efforts to humilate and destroy the head of this
department.
Now all this is changed. No adverse criticism of
Daniels is heard anywhere The navy is the special
pride of the nation and the wonder and admiration of
other nations And still Josephus is deck with his
ubiquitous smile
1t is just barely possible thatsome volube patriots
might find good lesson right at this point. After
serious ntrospection they might conclude that in their
hartrgger COMBINATIONS OF other departments they
are exposing their ignorance to good purpose and
giving aid and comfort to the enemy by trying to
embarrass their government
There is all the difference in the world between
reasonable, constructive criticism and petty fault
finding with peanut motives back of it.

Feed the Mind Too
The last address by DR.. Lindley
on mental housekeeping was well re-
ceived. In this address he stated:
Insanity is the result of bad mental
housekeeping. A rest cure is not al
ways effective as the mind is not oc-
cupied. We must feed our minds as
we'll as our bodies"
worrying is an evidence OF lost
motion, a failure of mental balances
We live for the satisfaction of life.

troll the most important part of the

into a fine art and should be pursued
as such.
