MENTAL ALARM CLOCK

We have in our brains a little alarm
clock Just as we often set that men
tai alarm clock to wake us at a GER
tain hour, it can be set to remind us
to do or not to do certain acts next
day. Before going to sleep one says
to the alarm clock, "If anything hap
pens to make me lose my temper to-
morrow, I want you to remind me to
hang on to it, The thing happens.
The temper is already to lose when
the little alarm clock of ones sub
conscious mind rings up on an inside
telephone and says, "By the way, you
asked me to remind you to keep your
temper" and the odd part of it is that
YOU reply. "Io I did. Thanks" After
that person would look silly going
back to his rage. There is nothing
to do but cool down.
a little practice with this interior
alarm clock works wonders. It acts
like silent touch on the sleeve from
wise old friend in moment of rash
ness. Go slow, go slow: Steady"
And one goes slow.-Boston Globe.

QUEER STREAKS IN 'CCNN|ECTI
CUT

The old New England state Con-
necticut has a queer streak running
through her character. When it come
to ratifying the prohibition amend
ment, Connecticut was the first state
to fall out of line. Not only was
Connecticut out of harmony with the
other states in banishing King Alec
hol, this being the epoch of tumbling
kings, but the state failed to ratify
the first twelve articles of amendment
to the constitution, nor did the state
ratify the sixteenth amendment,
which relates to the income tax. Con-
necticut is called the Nutmeg State
because wooden nutmegs were once
made in the state and sold to unsus-
pecing buyers elsewhere. Great is the
state of Connecticut when it comes to
wooden nutmegs and baking on a.
mending the constitution.

THE FINAL TEST

1t is of vital Importance to the pa
triotic spirit Of the future that the re-
turned service men be reabsorbed
quickly and under desirable condl-
tons back into civilian tasks. With
their ready devotion to the country
in its peril they have richly earned
the right to use what talents and ca
liabilities they have in the after days
Of peace. Some who took their places
do not need to retain them to live.
t. csc particularly are in a position
to show their magnanimity now. AS
to he others, their making way will
be all the more proof of loyal spirit

TEACHING THRIFT IN SCHOOLS

Of the more recent educational
ventures, the teaching of thrift in the
public schools of Illinois has its own
peculiar interest, and the experiment
will be watched with more than Gus
tomary alertness by the teaching pro-
fession, says an exchange. Thrift is
a virtue that henceforth will be of in
creasing Importance in American life,
and the least that can be said in favor
of introducing the subject into the

THE WOMAN'S INCOME TAX

Almost everyone is glad to pay
an income tax. It Is one of the most
satisfactory taxes ever devised.
since it permits everyone. men and
women alike, to share the burdens of
the country according to their means
But it Is of necessity a complicated
tax to administer" says Good House
Keeping for February. 1.-THE sources
from which income is derived and the
expenses which certain incomes must
meet are exceedingly varied. And an
income tax return adapted to suit
every case is, therefore. at first sight,
an appalling thing 20 novice in fig

that the need for making out that re-
turn has added new chill to the win

whom the language Of finance is both

There are several ways TO make it
easier. A woman should keep the
most complete record she can of all
the money she receives and expends
during the year. If she has not kept
such record for the past year, she
should sit down at once and make it

and at the same time begin a new
record for the new year. She should
go to her bank or her post office and
ask for her income tax return, read
the instructions 1t contains, mark the
passages that seem to refer to her,
learn what she can from them SO as
to be prepared to answer questions,
and then, if she has NO man in the
family to advise her. she should take
her facts and figures to her banker.

GETTING BACK TO CIVIL LIFE

Members of the American EXpedi-

everything in their favor everybody
shouting for them, everybody willing
to lend them the helping hand. But
while the nation will be profoundly
grateful and will manifest it's gratitude
in every concret way, it will not lose
it's head or it's sense of values. After
the tumult and the shouting Of the
Homecoming shall have died, the eyes
Of America will be turned, first of all,
toward those members of the A. E. F.
who have buckled down to work and
made good as citizens even as they
made good as soldiers. For them will
be the real respect of the nation they
served. That being the case, it will
hardly avail any man who has been
secretly counting on it to play the pro
fessional old soldier when he gets
back home. While the fact that he
served when he did, where he did, will
always be a help and joy to him and
to his country, it will never take the
place of the work yet to be done

AS TO NAMES

The mundane immortality that is
achieved by good deeds is usually Of
an anonymous character: If one wished
his name to be carried down through
the ages, it is well to attach it to a
plant or pudding. The word "fuchia"
from Fuchs, German botanis) is
an illustration of the fame given by
a flower; and "Nesselrode pudding
gives the Russian diplomat Nesselrode
his securest place in mems memories
The reflection is suggested by an ad-
vertisement in an agricultural paper
headed "Lespedeza.' Good clean les
pedeza seed" is the article extolled.
Lespedeza is a variety of clover, and
is named after Lespedez, Spanish
governor of Florida in the eighteenth
century, who but for this plant named
after him would doubtless be forgot
