You and l agree, I am sure, that
life is very much easier for us
if we can keep happy.
We allsurely understand that our
/ greatest happiness comes when
we allow our hearts to lead us
l-when we do as much for 9th
ers, if not more, than we do for
ourselves.
We all know, in our home life,
for instance, that happiness
flies out OF the window if all the
members of the family are not
harmonious.
We all know that quarrels, bick-
erings, or MISUNDERSTANDING in
our family or social circles do
not get Us anywhere, so far as
the Joy Of living is concerned.
On the other hand, lie IS very
rosy indeed if we are thoughtful
and kind TO one another in the

veRMIN OLD PEST OF ARMIES
Rsfc~orcS to Them Found ir WrttiN0s Of tFo Rsmana and iu Er0tish
 literaturo-

The newspapers have had much to say about the "deIOusing" of the re- turning troops, Philip Hale writes in the Boston Herald. The word is rot . pretty one and 1t is not to be found in the dictionaries, but the war has brought with 1t many new words. some Of which will disappear. some of which will soon be regarded as orthodox and of good and regular standing.
 No soldier need be ashamed Of nec- essary submission to the process. It may console him to recall the case of Thomas Otway. an Oxford man. the author of "venice Preserved" and "rhe Orphan" AS a cornet in regi- ment of horse. he joined in 1878 the army under Monmouth in Flanders. It was reported that he came back from Flanders 'mangy and covered with vermin." Rochester taunted him with this In his Session of the Poets" IL should also be remembered that when the troops were disbanded and recalled. the money voted by the com . ulOut TUT turif Puf WnS th'S"P prOpriated The soldiers were paid only by debentures. and the credit of these was SO low that they were hard ly ssiable.
 It was observed In the sixteenth cen tury that 'iice comefh also of that cloth that is trained In the wool with the fat or grease of horse or of a swine, snd therefore the northern cloths worn of sweating body do breed lice in 12 hours" The "humor' of an individual had much to do with the character of the pest. Lice zen deYed of sanguine humor were red and | great: of phIegmatic. white; Of choier- ic. yellow. long. swift and sharp; of Delancholic. sshen colered. lean and slow in moving. Anyone of these pests "grIeveth more in the skin with the feet and with creeping thsn he dotb with bitin. And the leansr that . louss is, the sharper shs bitesh and xrievsth" There were many ap- proved remedies even in the elder PIiny's time. thus: "The old skin or l slough that snakes do cast oh In the spring. whosoever drinkerh in his or diusry drink, it win kill all the yer. min of the body within three days"

GOOD WORK IN CANAL ZONE

 pIoyed on the Big Ditch.

rsy men perhaps have so intimate . knowledge of the spiritual progress made fin the canal zone as the 'eV. uanrv Roberts Carson. archdeacon or .ho protestant Episcopal church there.
 From those days when the canal was vet great doubt until the present. Mir Carson has been taboring amons the employees of the canal that they n,,obt have comfort of body and Wei- s.ra of soul. White and black, the men there know him well and nave come to love him, for Archdeacon Car' sor u,as with them in the now almost sorootren days when fever ragged upon tbe isthmus and each noon struck men to the death.
 Those early days Archdeacon Carson recalled in the missions house or the pratostant Episcopal church at New York the other day before returning to the canal zone.
 "Ws were few in number then anu Inc work was more than enough TOT manv~ he said. sThe employees. most of them natives of the British WeSC Indies. were housed in labor camps here and there. for the channel was not cut through from one end to the other: but activities were everywhere along it's path.
 .And in these camps we started churches and the church moved when the camp moved, for when tho worh in that immediate vicinity vas com nieted the camp went elsewhere. when the water was turned into the canal It submerged these places where we nso held divine service"

Storage Hint For
 SlUeet Potato Men

Little Rock, Aug. 21.-Thous- ands of bushels of sweet potatoes tQt in Arkansas every year because the storage houses are dirty at storing time, according to J. s. Knox of the Agricultural Extension Divi- sion, University of Arkansas, who gives the following information in regard to disinfection of storage houses "If potatoes were stored in a house last winter, that house is not fit to store potatoes in this year until it has been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected Clean the floor of the house thoroughly and remove any rotten potatoes that may yet be present in the house.
 After this has been done spray the house inside with a solution made by mixing one pint of 40 per cent formalin with 10 gallons of wa ter. Be sure to spray floor, walls, ceiling and bins, wetting every part thoroughly with the disinfec- tant. After this is done open doors, windows and ventilators so that the house will dry out as quickly as possible. It costs very little to clean your house out this way and 1t may mean the means of saving . good percentage of your crop of sweet potatoes.
 ! Don't wait until your potatoes are ready to dig before doing the fumigation or disinfecting but do so NOW"
