Uncle Sam as a Financier.

The wisdom of the federal reserve bank
system. an accomplishment of which is one of
the outstanding lights of the Wilson admin
istration, is shown in the fact that apart from
the convenience it afforded to the people of
the country, it earned fully 100 per cent on its
capital during the last calendar year. In other
words, it made in profits s75,000,000 AS a
matter of fact, Uncle Sam has proven such
wonderful success as a financier, that private
banks are wondering how in the world they
ever let him get away with all this profit
which is now largely available for the pur-
chase and cancellation of portion OF the
Liberty bonds. Some of the private member
banks are a little displeased with the discov-
ering that the government has been SO
remarkably successful in handling money mat
tiers. For instance there is" says the New

siderable feeling among member hanks that
they would like to obtain share in the earn
ings Of the reserve banks"
Nevertheless, as the member banks which
provide this capital are entitled to per cent.
cumulative dividends and no more, It is evident
that your Uncle Samuel, as the owner Of
resfduary profits. has been doing little modest
prohteering Of late on his own account He
cannot class for moment with the coal opera
tors, whose profits have run up to 1000 per
cent or over, or with the wool manufacturers.
or food hoarders, but in the more highly con-
sentative business of banking he is no slow
coach along this line.
Indeed 1t looks as if this time the United
States treasury had profit SO well nailed
down as to be beyond the reach Of all private
interests concerned. Hence the occasion for
the considerable feeling" over the matter, and
the occasion is advanced for another outburst
from some source against the present admin
istration.

Even this failed to bring any re-
Spouse, and he left the city with
a heavy heart, for after all he knew
he still cared for his beloved Carol.
The next Sunday Virginia had
three girl friends at her house. The
first thing she did was to bring out
the box of candy and pass it to
her friends. Carol turned her head
away as she saw the beautiful box
start on its rounds among the
guests, and with freezing GOODNESS
refused her share as it passed her.
isn't this just glorious candy?"
Virginia asked as she niDbled at a
large caramel.
Il should say So" pretty girl
of 16 replied. I'D like to see my
sister giving me q. box her friend

That's right, Amy" came an
other voice, my sister wouldn't
give me piece, let alone a box
full"

she took another piece of candy.
Then she exclaimed, "Oh, goodness,
what have l got!" Gracefully TAX
ing out the piece Of candy she drew
a hard object into sight Excuse

In a second she was back and
called her sister to the door. Press
ing something into her hand, she
said, Take this upstairs It's some
/ thing 1 found in that piece of can
dy."
Carol hurried upstairs, and then
opened her hand There, gleam-
ing in the sunlight, was the most
beautiful diamond she had ever
seen. Gradually her color deepen
ed, and then with a cry she flung
herself on the bed.
"Oh, RUSSELL" she murmured. 81

with one spring she hurried to the
telephone and left q message for
Russell to call Immediately when
he arrived in town. She didn't have

came in answer to her call.

Ba1 hing Versus Good Health.

The more freQu entity and thor
oughly you battle with soap and
water, the more clothing you need
to keep you comfortable in cold
weather. The more frequently and
thoroughly you battle with air the
less clothing and artificial warmth
you need for comfort. Every soap
and water bath removes some of the
natural protective, cleansing. soft
ening skin oil and leaves the skin
harder. rougher, less resistant to
the dissipation of body heat. Every
air bath stimulates the skin and
necessarily the vaso-motor nervous
system to perform their duties more
efficiently, and while thus adding.
it subtracts nothing from the physi-
cal well being.
Bathing is rendered more or less
essential by the artificialities of
civilized life. particularly by our
very unhygienic use of clothing.
Clothing prevents the air from
maintaining natural body cleanli-
ness; it also interferes with the re-
moval of excretions from the skin.
Were it not for clothing bathing
would be rarely required. Odors.
save those natural characteristic
odors of different species, are Gre
ated by the retention of excretions
in the clothing and on the skin.
l have explained in preceding
talks how the natural skin oil keeps
the skin soft, pliable, clean, beauti-
full. youthful and warm. Oil, of
course, is poor heat conductor. 1t
is because of its oily character that
wool is a better material than cot
ton for underwear Cotton is too
fast a heat conductor for any one
except very vigorous youth.
The majority Of skin affections
seen in young persons are those as

heads). pimples (acne), pityriasis,
seborrhea (oil dandruff), etc. In
youth the oil glands are likely to
be overactive for a time; hence
more frequent bathing may be in

Toward middle age and after the
majority of skin troubles are asso,
ciated with excessive dryness of the
skin. 1t is now that bathing be-
gins to be most harmful. The old

should battle. Itching, so annoying

The greatest evil of bathing. il

turns, Carol"
With one look Carol set the box
on the table.
Thank you, RUSSELL" and with
this she seated herself on the op-
posite side of the room.
Russell tried in vain to coax her
out of this sudden change, but not
a word did the least good. Finally
he said he must go, and with a
careless good night. Carol ran up
the stairs to her own room. The
astonished Russell left the house
trying to remember what he had
said to make Carol feel like this,
but soon began to think he had done
all he could, and would have to
leave the rest to her.
Meanwhile Carol had gone to her
room. and flinging the box in her
sisters lap, hurriedly began to I'M

Virginia opened her eyes in per-

the gold ribbon and lifted the cover
of the box.
"Oh, my goodness. look at this
wonderful box Of candy" she ex-
claimed. as she passed it to her Sis

bed clothes, only shook her head =.
Carefree Virginia calmly selected
the biggest piece in sight and be-
gan to eat with delight. Then she
recovered the box and crept into
bed with her sister.
The next day failed to bring any
thing to light Carol refused to eat
a single piece OF candy, and no one
in the house could imagine what

The Perfect Man.
Ito All Model Husbands).
Nv husband is the dearest man
The gods have ever biest
His dispositions perfect.
And he's always at his best.
His habits. too, I'd have you know.
Are lust the neateet things,
He is mighty like an angel
Except, Of course the wings.
He never stays out late at night
AS most young husbands do,
SO his conscience doesn't pain MIN
For it's most as good as new.
He gives me every cent he earns,
The dear, unselfish man;
Oh, cannot do him justice.
But I'll do the best can.
He's always punctual to his meals,
And likes to say his prayers;
He never growls, or grumbles,
Or complains about his cares
He goes on Sunday to the church,
And sleeps against the pew.
As innocent and peaceful
As the early morning dew.
His face is always smiling,
And his voice is ever kind;
He never swears or sputters
When his clothes he cannot find.
He tells me that he loves me
Almost fifty times day,
And smothers me with kisses,
Before he starts away.
And if you doubt the truth, my friend,
OF all that have said,
About my perfect husband
You won't hurt him for he's DEAD!

@. Has a patron on rural de-
livery route the right to call at the
postoffice for his mail? H. G. E.
A. The postofiice department
says that the postmaster shall de-
liver mail of all classes to patrons
Of rural delivery routes who call
therefor at the postofice when it IS
open for business on Sundays and
holidays, and also at other times,
when such delivery will not inter
fere with the business Of the office
or delay rural carriers in starting
out on their routes.
@. Are eggs more easily digest
ed when raw than when cooked? O.
B. T.
A. The department of agricul-
ture says that there is little differ
ence in the digestibility Of raw
and slightly cooked eggs. The yolks
OF hard-boiled eggs are probably
as digestible as those that have had
less cooking. The whites, however.
are SO firm in texture that, unless
they are finely chopped or
thoroughly masticated, the diges-
tive juices will not permeate them
and portions may remain in the d.
gesttve tract for days. This ex-
plains why hard-boiled eggs are
often excluded from the diet OF lit
tie children and invalids and sug-
gests that even healthy adults
should be careful to masticate them
thoroughly.
