CHRISTIAN SCIENCE WAR WORK.

Christian Science Monitor: The
Christian Science war, work has been
carried on under three heads, viz;
camp welfare. comforts forwarding
and war relief. In addition active re-
Iigious work has been made possible
in both the military and the naval
establishments of the United States
through the efforts OF Christian Sci
ence chaplains, nine of whom have
been commissioned in the army and
one in the navy. Many letters from
men in the service and from sufferers
who have been relieved bear testimo-
ny to the effectual work that has been
accomplished
Camp Welfare workers were placed
in many of the camps and canton
ments in the United States. Their
mission was to help the men In uni
form wherever possible and to supply
such men as desire them with copies
of the Bible and with authorized
Christian Science literature In carry
ing on this work, Christian Science
welfare houses and similar facilities
have been provided.
The activities of the comforts for

on through 975 branches, which are in
operation in all states OF the American
union, also in Alaska Hawaii and the

THE BOOK OF MEMORY.

THE BOOK OF MEMORY.
There Is a book called Memory;
With pictures clear and bright,
With calm and sweet delight!
The Present tires US, but the Past
Has joy that never dies;
And to its tranquil tome at last
We turn with eager eyes.
No monk iIumined tome of Old
No page inscribed of pen;-
Contains such truths Of purest gold
AS show therein for men.
For Time and Change and Love ana Death
Have traced a record there,
And side by side with that OF Hope
Is written down Despair.
And many a leaf and many flower
Between its pages pressed,
And soothe the soul to rest!
The world is thankless: friends forget
Whatever good do:
Our BRIGHTEST dreams dissolve like mist,
Our fears, alas, come true,
But when the blow of Fate destroys
Success we hoped to see
What happiness to count the joys
EnEhrined in memory!

for building it even if it never paid. But the
point is that democratic government can

PERSONAL ATTENTION TO
PIGS WILL REDUCE
HIGH MORTALITY,

Faithful, personal attention to
the sows at farrowing time, even
though it means long hours Of
hard work by day and by night,
is the only assurance that the
1918 war litters can be made to
reach the necessary high aver
age. The hog grower who is on
the job at this season will be
able to save the lives Of many
pigs that might otherwise perish
In passing through the hazards
Of the first few days. In ex-
tremely cold weather the pigs
will be In danger Of chilling un-
less the hog house Is heated.
To remedy this, place q few
heated bricks in the bottom of
a basket or small box. Cover
with chaf or straw and put a
cloth over the top to keep in
the heat. Unless the SOW OBJ
jects too seriously the pigs may
be rubbed dry with q soft cloth
and placed in a receptacle AZ
fast as they arrive. The de-
tails Of attention which the SOW
and the pigs need at farrowing
time are set forth in a recently
revised publication Of the Unit

culture, "Swine Management"

Every owner of brood SOW, wheth-
er he lives on q large farm and has
many. or whether he is a suburbanite
and owns one, should feel a personal
responsibility to see that the pig lit
ters born this spring are received
with the utmost care. That means the
matter Of providing proper housing
for the brood sows, and their young
should have immediate attention. Saw
ing every pig possible in order that
the nation-more pork-can be sup
piled, should be the aim Of every man
who owns hogs.
The high mortality among young
pigs in some parts Of the country can
be materially reduced II proper hous-
ing and feed are provided for the sows.
Investigations Of the mortality among
pigs on the reclamation projects show
that approximately one-third Of the
pigs born die before reaching the wean-
ing age. Losses on several northern
projects last season were even above
this average because of a severe sea-
son. According to one investigation
which covered about fifty herds, repre-
senting $50 brood sows, The average
loss was about SO per cent, while some
farmers lost so to 70 per cent Of the
pigs.
