You may look the wide world over,
And wherever you may go,
ThereIl be talking of all kinds done;
But the mischief and hurt that

Is the lasting hurt of the unbridled

Question-Aren't the cassia and
cinnamon the same thing?
Answer.-Practically so. Most of
the cassia comes from China, and be-
cause of that it is sometimes termed
Chinese cinnamon The bark of the
cassia is much thicker than that of
the true cinnamon and the taste is
more pungent. When ground, it is
quite difficult to distinguish between
the two.
Most of the cinnamon comes from
Ceylon, although it is also grown in
Java, Brazil, Egypt, and the West In
dies The cinnamon grown in Ceylon
is the best. The bark is very thin
and smooth The taste is mild and
peculiarly sweet

Question Why nearly every roast
ed coffee on the market is mixture
of two or more varieties?
ArsN Practically every variety
of coffee has a characteristic of its
own. Coffees are mixed in order to
produce desired blends Thus, il it
is desired to give a cup of Santos for
instance, more body, Maracaibo is
added; if a somewhat acidy taste is
wanted, Bourbon Santos is added; if
a particularly good flavor and good
color are wanted, Bogota is added;
and so on.

Making the world look drear and
worn
And this is the cruel unbridled tongue.
The tattler, the gossiper, that pass on
the way,
Have always an evil eye
Watching and seeing through all the
day,
Whatever of harm they en- spy.
Then the talk of scorn that is often
done,
Always comes from the unblidIed
tongue.
1t sours the temper, it causes tear;
It lessons the friendship of youth
This busy-body tattler all through the
year
That has never a bit of truth.
Than the hurt and the harm that has
been done,
Is all because of the unbridled
tongue.

again agreed the Professor. My
grandmother was a Scotch Presby-s
terian and terribly saving. When
nother poured the clotted cream ov
er my oatmeal. she would froWn and
say. Scotch barns grew strcng Oh
Dlain ! trridge. The Professor stopp
ed TO Chuckle ever the recollection.
"She taueht me, How doth the little
busy Zee" and told me over aa.. over
again he story of the thrifty grey
squirrel.
"That sparrow over t he's: viii
work .ust as hard 70 build nest
next year. If he were really thrifty
| he would put a rain-proof roof over
his nest, and next year he would be
building houses TO rent. Bat he new
er gets ahead, he will be doing the
same thing "a hundred years from
now"
And the squirrel?" asked Farmer
Hills.
Same with him. said the Profess
sor, works all the summer putting
away more than he needs. The nuts
rot, and he starts all over again next
summer. If we had copied the sGuir-
rel, we'd still be cave dWellers .
But 1 raise a wheat crop every
summer" For Farmer Hills was not
entirely convinced yet"
What do you do with it," the
Professor asked.
DO with it!' repeated Farmer
Hills. Il grind up a years supply
of -four, put away enough to sow
again, and sell the rest"
and what becomes of the mo-
ney?" pursued the Professor. He
knew well enough that Hillcroft was
the richest farm in the Valley, that
it would again be passed from father
to son, richer than when the father
took it. The Hills regarded the ow-
nership of land as a sacred oblga-
ton. So the Professor knew what
answer to expect.
Farmer Hills began: "Some of
my money runs the family, some OF
it is put by for up-keep and new
machinery, and good bit always
goes into safe investments for Ma
and me. For two years l have put
it in Liberty Bonds and Savings
Stamps. l am buying now at the
market price every Liberty Bond l
can afford, and I have the limit in

Ma and l will be ready to turn the
farm over to son in five years and
take that trip around the world.

new YORK l.. AND
SUBWAY TIED-UP
Trains Are Stopped BY Strike
Of $4,000 Employees,
REAL TEST COMES TO-DAY
Men or Manhattan Lines Demand an
increess CT sc Per Cent and and
Eipnt-houf Day.

New York, Aug. 1S.-All the sub
way and e.evajed railway lines of the
Interborough Rapid Transit company
were ueG ", ny the strike OF l5,OOO
member. .. tne Brotherhood of Inter
borough emltioyes.
No attempt was made by the COM
pany tC run trains on any OF the lines
during tia day. s
Surface cars which were running
On about normal schedules in Manhat-
tan and lhe Bronx, and jitney lines
which sprang into being overnight,
were sufficient Ia carry the passenger
traffic, which was unusually light, due
to the rain that fell during the morn
ing and early afternoon.
The real test will come today in
the rush hours. The lines affected by
the strike carry an average OF S,o1ls'
900 passengers day. The congestion
is always terrific on the downtown
trains in the morning and on the up
town trains i'll the evening. To say
there is not standing room in the sub
way and L lines running into the
Bronx does not adequately describe
conditions In fact there is not
breathing space.
1t was thoroughly peaceful strike
No disorder was reported anywhere,
but at a mass-meeting of the strikers
held in the Star Casino the sentiment
was unanimously in favor Of holding
out until the company yields to the
demands for a so per cent increase In
pay, an eight-hour day and the arbi-
tration of all future differences. -
P. J. Connolly, president of the
brotherhood, admitted that he had
been served with an injunction OBJ
tanned by the Interborough to restrain
him from calling the men out.
"The strike was called before the
injunction was asked for, and could
not have stopped it anyhow" he said.
"Now that it is started, not s0i-
tary wheel will turn in the INTERIOR
ough until our demands are granted.
We can't be worse off than we have
been for the last two years. Our men
have been giving the public 100
per cent service, and they should be
paid 100 per cent wage. The side
that weakens first will lose, and /
don't think it is going to be you boys.
We can stay out two weeks or two
months, if necessary"
Ticket sellers and choppers and
many of the platform guards remain
ed on duty and members of the Anal
gamated association were outspoken
in their denunciation of the brother
hood men for having struck at this
time, and offered to run trains IL the
company so desired. Powerhouse
men, too, remained ON duty, but the
signalmen went out.
The New York Central has announc-
ed it's intention of putting extra
trains on the Harlem and Putnam di-
visions which run through the Bronx
to carry the extaa loads that will be
thrown on the lines. The New Haven,
which also runs through the Bronx,
plans to restore the trains that were
cancelled by reason of the shopmen's
strike.

The House Committee Finds Enor-
nous Discrepancies in Munitlen
Section.
Washington, Aug. 1S.-Enormeus
discrepancies between the amounts ex-
pended for guns and ammunition by.
the ordnance department and the re-
suits achieved have been developed by
persistent probing of the subeommlt-
tee of the house investigating ord
nance expenditures. -
The ordnance department has ex-
pended, according to its own figures,
$1,1S1, ,1S2,850 for artillery, the net re-
suit of which was to deliver y Ameri-
can made guns on the firing line and
to float for France an additional 400.
These figures do not include the 1O
guns borrowed from the navy and the
2S borrowed from the coast defense.
The only guns which reached the hr-
ing line, according to officers who
have testified before the committee,
were 4S 4.7-inch guns and a S-lnch
howitzers. A total of 10000 guns of
all descriptions was contracted for, Of
which 1852 actually were finished
when the armistice was signed, but of
which only 41S had been shipped to
France, while of these only II actu-
ally reached the front. And this was
the result of an expenditure or more
than $1,181, ,182,850.
Quite as extraordinary is the show
ing made by the munitions; section OF
the ordnance department, The total
sum expended for munitions was $3s-
173,O64, ,546, according to the war de-
partment figures. And the net result
Of this vast expenditure was 10, ,6S7,S59
shells Of all descriptions landed in
France-little more than enough for
one days artillery preparation for
big battle. 1t is Of record that the
British fired 2,753,OOO rounds of am
munition in their preparation for the
battle of the Somme.
So pitiably small was the number
of rounds of American ammunition
actually fired on the entire western
front that the committee thus far has
. refrained from making the figures
public, fearing the comparison with
the operations of any one OF this
country's European allies. The fig
ures given refer to ammunition of all
classes furnished the American expe-
dictionary forces by the war depart
ment, but do not include the ammu-
milton furnished the American forces
by the allies. 4
The bulk of the ammunition turned
out was of the smaller calibres, TO-
100000 out of the total of 100000
shells floated for France being of To-
MN. calibre, the remaining 100000
being 47-inch, 6-inch, 155mm, and 9.2-
inch shells.
