How Work Helps.

Count yourself among the blest if
you can work, and work hard. Work
has specific healing for your trouble,
although ON other grounds / am it's
disciple-a pilgrim to it's shrine. I had
always liked my two hands inOrdinate.
ly for what they could do, writes Mar
garet Baldwin, in the Atlantic, but
when, long ago, learned how init
mately and fundamentally the hands
had had to do in primal ages with the
evolution of the brain of earliest homo,
when he yet struggled with his eoliths
and his unprotected thumbs, rever-
enced them anew. The power Of the
hand visibly to recreate the mental
conception of a Raphael and Praxi-
teles is indefinable and exquisite. The
hands hold the sublimity of the spirit
to the power of the flesh.

0bviating the Waste and
TrifIeS That Mean Great
Help in Winning the War

Here are some household ''trifes"
hat will help feed the soldiers in
France and the starving people of the
war-Stricken area:
If every family of 100000 Ameri-
can households wastes but one slice of
bread daily it means a waste of A.
100000 ounces of flour, or $4,000
pounds; or enough -four to make more
than 100000 one-pound loaves daily.
As a yearly average this means the
yield from 100000 acres, figuring the
average yield at 14.9 bushels.
If everyone of these families wastes
just a half-cupful of milk, sweet or
sour, daily, it means 100000 quarts
daily or the yearly product of 100000
cows.
If every family wastes One-fourth of
an ounce of butter daily, it means 312,-
500 pounds a day or the yearly milk
product of more than 100000 cows.
IF every family wastes an ounce Of
edible meat, whether it is lean, mixed
fat or suet, it wastes 1,250,000 pounds
Of animal food a day or 456OOO,OOO
pounds a year; or distributing this
amount according to the per capita
consumption of the various meats Tex
Guiding bOneS) a combined herd Of
over $4,000 beef, 291, 900 calves, over
625,OOO sheep and lambs, and more
than 2,132,C0O hogs.

Rats, Pets of Miners, Warn
Workmen of Unseen Dangers

There is one place in the world
where rats are pets. Such is the case,
says the public health service, in the
deep gold mines of the mother lode in
California.
In those underground workings there
are great numbers of rats, which are
petted and fed by the miners. When
the latter assemble at noontime to eat
their lunch, the hungry rodents like
wise gather to receive scraps of food
thrown to them. They are very tame.
The miners cultivate their good will
because they believe that the rats
warn them of unseen dangers, and that
the little animals can tell by instinct
when the roof of a tunnel or gallery
is unsafe. In the latter case they
scurry away. If poisonous gases are
present, they give notice of the fact
by showing symptoms of distress.

Fresh Air in Both Home
and Hospital important
Says a Health Official

Fresh air is the environment in
whicn man developed to his present
state OF perfection. Now that our news
papers reach to every nook and corner
VI the world, bearing the message,
nOst men and women appreciate the
part pure air plays in sustaining
nealth' writes Samuel G. Dixon, M. D.,
LII. D., d. &c., commissioner of health.
Owing to the various demands of civ
llizat1on we find it hard to be where
we can best earn a livelihood and at
the same time dwell in an atmosphere
suft1ciently pure to maintain nerfect
health. Not only the medical nrofes-
sion, but now the general public, ap-
preciates that in the cure of tubercu-
losis of the lungs fresh air is essential.
and, therefore, all our best HOSPITALS
are built and managed so that the pa-
tients may receive the maximum of
fresh air.
Purity Of air is necessary for the
sick. This is often lost sight of bv
patients and those to whose care they
are intrusted. During convalescence
of patients from acute diseases in cold
weather, we find in homes and hospi-
tails where there are the greatest lux
uries that those in attendance on the
sick often neglect maintaining the reg
ulation temperature. Physicians, in
ternes and nurses, who have to be up
and down at all times of the day and
night, and often fail to dress them
selves sufficiently for protection
against the cold air that the patient in
bed should receive if those in charge
are to get the best results. They
should measure the temperature of the
room by thermometer and not by
their own feelings.

Mothers Cook Book !
Variety in Put-Up Lunches.


The problem of school lunches for
the mother who has this daily routine
is one which needs study and plan
ming. The sandwich, however good,
attractive and in what variety, is not
the whole idea of food for the lunch
basket. The usual hard-bOiled egg
which is so frequent in the lunch,
might be replaced by a cooked egg,
finely chopped and well seasoned, put
into a small jar with a screw cover.
Other edibles of soft nature might be
served in the same manner, such as
potato or other salads, little fresh
fruit in season, canned fruit, apple
sauce cranberry or various custards.
Coffee or lemon jelly is a great fa-
vorite and individual cakes are more
inviting and dainty than sliced from
loaf. When possible in school, espe-
cially in cool weather, a hot drink like
cocoa, hot milk or a steaming hot soup
Is most satisfying.
