 l simply cannot pay such a price. We must eat. My wife and I eat re- frigerated meat, but our cook gets a little bit of fresh meat for her own use. She says that refrigerated meat Is poison to the stomach and that she will never consent to touch that awful stuff.
 There are shoes to be bought. My last pair has been resoled four times; but the uppers are gone; they admit water and are hideous to see. Yet, I should have to pay eighty francs to replace them.
 I passed a bad night I kept re- beating 80 francs for shoes, so francs for shoes I simply couldn't sleep. Happening to think of Moliere, the name of that great dramatist sug gested an idea to me and in the morning, I went to the costumer of the Theatre Francais.
 Do you happen to have said to him, either for sale or for hiring out, any old and somewhat worn costume, of the epoch of 1880, let us say. Such a costume, for instance, as might have been worn in Alfred du Vigny's Chat terton. I think a Chatterton costume would be quite becoming to me, or. perhaps. you have a. hero's costume, something from Thirty Years of the Gamblers Life. That, too, would go we'll
 Monsieur. you have come too late. Too many clients have already had the same idea. There have been uni versity men. men of letters, and dep uties. even, here before you. They be- gan by taking away all my costumes of the Second Empire; that of Mon sieur BenOiton, that of Monsieur Du- val. the friend of La Dame aux Cam elias; those which figured in the rep crtory of Labiche, those from the gen. der de NJ. POirier. The repertory of Emile Augier has been very popular. It is honest and decent, dates rom no particular epoch and does not at tract attention to it's wearer. When these were gone, raid on the roman tics began, Amaury, Chatterton. I have nothing left of these epochs. Nothing except Don Carlos, Hermann, Ruy Bias, Guritan, or, perhaps, Hen ri III, Francois I, Schomberg or Quel- us. or, perhaps. the Marquis de Mol iere, of the Bourgeois Gentilhomme, or the Msanthrope, or Scapin.
 It was all too clear. threw up my hands and went home with death in my soul. I was breeding on ideas of suicide, when my wife said to me, See what I have found. Cannot you make a dressing-gown out of it by having it dyed black?'
 She was holding up a Pesian robe, a vast Persian robe, made of red cloth, which a friend hadonce brought me from Teheran. The ghost of Jean Jacques Rousseau Strode across my memory. There is no difference be- tween a Persian and an Armenian robe, and did not that great man for many years wander through the streets of Paris dressed only in an Armenian

robe7 He pretends to have never had the Persian robe dyed black.
 Some days later.
 The concierge did look c little up- set when he saw me go out for the first time in my new costume But he is used to it now and nobody pays any attention to me in the streets. You see there are so many strangers now in Paris because of the ePace Confer ence.
 As for me, am enchanted.
 My costume is cool and comforta- ble. Jean Jacques certainly knew what he was doing. have also found a pair of Hindu sandals which go very nicely with my robe. The other day. l met some Armenians, real Armeni- ans One of them spoke to me in his language. I did not understand. Then he said in French, Have you done well with your rugs?' That's it, they all sell rugs Not a bad idea I fear however, that I should not be able to tell a Bokhara from a Samarkand. So have taken to selling shoe strings every night when my work is done. The public finds this quite natural because of my robe, an advantage which it wins for me. I have become a member of the Shoe-String Sellers Union. My colleagues rushed me into it; I am not to sell shoe-strings for less than six francs a pair. I don't go into the rich quarters; all these poor bourgeois haven't cent left, they are forever bargaining. I go among the people. They never bargain. They are people of property, and close the deal with a glass of wine.

Food Administration Urges
Test for Wheat Waste; Tells
How to ReGtify Operation

A matter of unusual Importance to
grain growers is the food administra.
tion's official test for clean threshing,
says indianapolis News. By this
rule any farmer can test the work of
the threshing machine he has hired.
Ane test is made by directing the straw
blower against blanket, sheet or can
vas during the time the weighing de.
vice trips five times, recording two and
one-half bushels. If more than one
pint of wheat is winnOwed from the
straw on the canvas, bad work is indi-
Gated. One and one-half pints indi.
Gates Il loss of / per cent. If more
than three pints is fOund-which
means II per cent lOss-reasonab
time should be given to correct the
bad operation, and second test should
be made. If improvement is not OBJ
tained, steps should be taken through
the county threshing committee to dis
continue operations until the avoidable
waste Is corrected.
Most threshing committees have for
mulated detailed rules for the guild
ance of threshing crews In effectively
stopping waste of grain. But more ef-
fective than the rules and regulations,
the food administration believes, has
been the eagerness with which farmers
and threshermen have accepted their
harvest-time responsibility and the dill
igence with which they are now st0e
ping every source of grain waste.

JUST Be GLAD
sssssssssssssssssssssssss'

Oh heart of mine we shouldn't
Worry SOL
What we've missed of calm we couldn't
Have, you know!
What We've met Of stormy pain,
And of sorrows driving rain,
We can better meet again,
If 1t blow!
We have erred in that dark hour
We have known
When the tears fell with shower
All alone
Were not shine and showers bent
AS the gracious Master meant?
Let us temper our content
With His own.
For we know, not every morrow
Can be sad;
60 forgetting all the sorrow
We have had
Let US fold away our fears
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years,
Just be glad

these starving and dying people:
Probably at no time in the history OF
the world have there been 80 many
fatheNess and motherless as there arc
today. Hundreds Of thousands in Ar
mena Syria, Caucasus, Persia, Meso-
potamia and Palestine are not only
without parents but are without any
strong parental government to give
them help and protection which or
phan children of other lands enjoy. but
out Of the horror and nightmare thru
which these people have passed comes
the gratifying word that we can be of
assistance, that We can share with
these orphan children the bounty
which we As Americans have enjoyed
for years. May America respond to
their appeal"
A national campaign for thirty mil
lion dollars will be put on Jan. 12.
1919, and all good, true, loyal and SYM
pathetic Americans are asked to give
freely to those destitute people in the
near East.
France, Belgium and Italy can all be
helped by governmental aid, but the
dying Christians in this devastated
land have no government thru which
governmental aid can come The priv
ilege and task belongs to America.
Every dollar subscribed goes to tho
relief work-not one penny goes for
expense All funds are distributed
thru United States consuls or Amer
lean agencies and all moneys are
cabled thru the Department of State.
Ex.President VIM. Howard Taft
says: Now why the need Of money
for Armenia? Who are the Ar
menians? They are one of the oldest
Christian people in the world. They
lived In a province that lies north OF
Mesopotamia. east Of Asia Minor. west
of Persia and south Of the Black sea.
. One million eight hundred thou
sans Armenians lived in that country,
cultivating the valleys and making
them blossom like the rose The
Turks hated them because they were
industrious and enjoyed the prosperity
that comes from industry.
Later when Turkey entered the
great European war as the ally or
Germany she invited German officers
into her army. Her army was shortly

rected the army to 90 into Armenia
and deport 100000 Armenians, which
they did Six hundred thousand cs-
capped, the other 100000 were driven
by the army into the desert-and in
the drive the army deliberately killed
men, women and children, by rifle
ball by bayonet, by knife, by driving
them over precipices, by driving them
into deep running rivers. Out of
those deported nearly 100000 died of
starvation. Then Germany turned
them over to Turkey; Turkey proceed

kindly fatherly way! That 10 the

There are now over 100000 of
starving people in the near East that
must be fed by America or they die.

multiply the principal by the number
of days and divide as follows: At s

There is a growing conviction among
thinking Americans that our celebra-
tion of victory on Nov. 11th was pre-
mature, that the real victory Is yet to
be won. Two Of Germany's allies did
not sign the armistice.
One of Germany's primary ebjectives
was the Germanization Of Western
Asia, and this required the extermina-
tion of the Armenians, Greeks and
Syrians of that region, including parts
Of Persia.
