THE TRAINED NURSE.

NECHE trained nurse is ministering
l. angel who is hired to let other
people sleep.
There are two people who have
proven that the world would be bet
fer off if sleep had never been invent
ed. One of them is Thomas A. Edison
and the other is the bright-eyed train
ed nurse who can sit up all night for
a week and look as fresh as plate
of homegrown lettuce. Mr.. Edison
has not used any sleep to speak Of in
his business for years, and his close
friends and associates say that when
he feels any coming his way he holds
his head under the cold water faucet
until the attack passes.
When a nervous, hfgh-strung busl-
ness man comes down with an ulcer
ated tooth which hangs on like one
armed man at a club dance he refuses
to allow any sleep to enter the house.
thus making it necessary to engage a
trained nurse who is accustomed to
sit bolt upright for weeks at stretch
without uttering a blink of any kind.
There is nothing more soothing than

treasures, but the little vandals think
differently. Sometimes the battle be-
gins at home at the traditional Easter
lunch of currant bread and hard-bOiled
eggs. Every member Of the family
arms himself with the hardest egg he
can pick out and then the fun is to
beat your egg against that of your
neighbor and try which is the harder
of the two. The egg that breaks is
forfeited to the one who breaks it.
Be sure you will see no wooden
shoes; it must be very poor mother,
indeed, who does not give pair of
'reaT" shoes to her little ones on
Easter day. Often there is band
playing on the Easter meadow and a
Punch's show to amuSe the children,
or a merry -go-rOund inviting you to
get seasick at the shortest possible
notice. They don't heed that, the lit
tie ones! They sit on the wooden
horses or in the little sleighS and en-
joy being driven round in a circle to
the tune of the barrel organ and, the
merry little bell that rings at every
round. And in the evening when the
oil lamps are lighted the merry-gO-
round is gorgeous sight with, its
horses, sleighs, bright copper styles
and draperies of red velvet and white
lace. And the grOwn-up boys and girls
take the places of. the little ones, and
their laughter sounds merrily over the
field where the evening dew Is falling.
At The End of the Day.
Then when darkness comes and the
glorious sun is gone, suddenly on all
sides Of the horizon other lights ap-
pear, the Easter bOnfires sending their
flames on high as a symbol of light
triumphing over darkness, soaring up
ward unto the source of all light and
all purity.
Mystic symbols and quaint old GUS
toms, how far away can we trace
them! Through the darkness of the
ages, far away even to before the time
Of Christ, whose resurrection is cele-
brated in them with reverence and joy.
Far away to the times of our an
cestors, the ancient German and Saxon
races, whose religion was one with the
veneration of nature, in communion
with which they lived their simple,
strenuous lives. ,r
And so from generation to genera
tion, through all the changes of re-
ligious and political life, the cherished
customs of olden times are held in
reverence in this little corner of Eu-
rope and will be held so in spite of the
leveliig influence of modern civiliza
ton, for immortal through all out
ward change is the soul of nation

PHILOSOPHY.

It's all worth while, he used to say
When difficulties lined his way.
I've never known trouble yet
I wasn't glad that had met
The minute had seen it through,
Because it proved what could do.
I've feared it, looking straight ahead
I've had my share of doubt and
dread
And yet, when it was over,
Looked backwards with a laughing
eye
And to myself I'd always say:
You'll boast about that task some day.
I've never known a man so great
That didn't hunger to relate
The hardships and the cares he'd
known
Before success was his to own.
The hunger that had made him whine
Had also helped to make him fine.
The failures that had tried his soul
And seemed barrier to his goal
Had changed their bitterness for
sweet
And now are memories to repeat
Mans greatest joy beneath the sun
Is to recall what he has done.
Today laugh at yesterday
And all the cares that came my way !;
The past is only grim to those
Who left their courage with it's woes.
Who plods along new joys to win
Looks back at trouble with grin,
And boastfully at times repeats
The misery of his defeats.
He tells his hardships with smile
And holds that they were all worth
while.
For all the secret joys that last
Spring from the hardships of the past
So into every round Of care
And every battle with despair
I plunge, remembering the fun
That it will mean when I am done.
What hurts me now will some day be
A very pleasant memory.
And laughingly l may recall
In future years the present fall.
What seems today fearful test
May be tolnorrow's source of jest.
And all that calls for courage stout
Some day III proudly boast about

The Unsalarled
DrurnrnerS
BY George Matthew Adams.

IF YOU are Merchant or Manufac-
l. turer, the most valuable assets you
have are the unrecorded ones in the
form of Satisfied CustOmers-the Men
and Women and Children that come
into your store or other stores unan-
nounced, and leave as unfussedly, to
carry on and on the Message Of the
value behind the Goods you sell.
It is the Unsalaried Drummer who
makes it possible for you to win in
Business.
Into every Town, City-Country, do
The Unsalaried Drummers go-every-
where your Goods go, they go. And
what your Merchandise is, they are
as Drummers. The people who read
your Books, ride in your Cars, the
Stenographers who run your Typewrit-
ers, those who wear the Clothes you
make and the Food you prepare
each is an Unsalaried Drummer for
YOU. Ever think Of it this way?
Each time you lower the highest
Standard of what you make or sell,
you take away that much, maybe a
million times, from the efficiency Of
your Unsalaried Drummers.
Every Man and Woman with suffi-
cient Brains to Think, is a possible
Drummer for you to sell-and each
is your Drummer at NO COST to you.
SO that your greatest concern remains
not for those merely under the range
Of your Eye, but those you never see
The Unsalaried Drummers-who
daily, rain, hail Or shine, distribute to
the farthermost points Of the Earth,
and hourly work at your Success or
Failure-unannOunc
Oh, Business Man! In your mad
fret and scramble for the Dollar, do
not forget the endless number of Un-
salaried Drummers that are able to
Make or Break you.

Last Might Dreams
What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM OF LACK OF
CLOTHING?

WHEAT is called one of the "stand.
w ard dreams, one which is most
annoying and one which everybody al
most has experienced at least once in
his life, some people many times, is
the dream Of finding oneself in a
thrOnged street or in a room filled
with people and suddenly realizing
that one is only partially clothed OF
not clothed at all. In these dreams
the people with whom we find ourself
do not appear to take any notice of
our unconventional condition, but the
dreamer is much disturbed and en-
deavOrS to escape. This dream has
received particular attention from
those scientists who for more than
half century have been investigating
the phenomena Of dreams re-
garded as purely mental Cor more &C.
curately psychic), or as physical mani
festations. The dream in question is
said to be the basis Of Hans Chris
tian Andersen's story, "The Emper-
or's New Clothes" and has been done
into poetry by the German author,
Fulda, in ''The Talisman" 1t is
called by the scientists a standard
or typical" dream because it is one
which is experienced by all persons
in an identical or almost identical
manner; whereas most Of our dreams
are peculiar to ourselves.
The empires, those who interpret
dreams in the old, superstitious, tradi-
tional mystic and unscientific manner
declare the dream under cOnsidera-
tion to be bad omen, though they do
not all agree just how bad. They
say it signifies that people are con-
spring against you; that you are soon
to receive an insult; you will be dis
appointed in your friends and rela-
tives and it is a warning to you to
mend your ways.
Those scientists who strive to ac-
count for dreams by referring them to
a physical source say that this dream
is simply the result Of sensations
caused by the bedclothes slipping off.
But that does not hold for we fire.
quently have the dream when covered
up warm.
Professor Freud, the latest and the
most celebrated Of Investigators OF
dream sources, says in his book, '"The
Interpretation Of Dreams" that the
dream is based upon a recollection OF
our earliest childhood. When we were
babies we were seen with indifference
by relatives, strangers and servants
scantily dressed and were not
ashamed. These recollections of baby
hood, imprisoned dormant and unre-
callable in our waking hours, are
liberated to us in the dream state
Our feeling of uneasiness and desire
to escape though no one notices
our nudity. is a reflex from the
repression Of our later lives during
which the habit Of being properly
clothed in public has become part OF
our normal existence.

Simple Good Things.
A simple dessert which is easy to
prepare and wholesome for the chill
dren is:
Rice With Prunes and Bananas.
Take well-cooked rice, mold in small
cups or molds and around each place
alternate pieces of cooked prunes and
sliced bananas. Sprinkle lightly with
sugar and cover with whipped cream.
The addition of a bit of lemon juice
with a bit of the grated rind Of the
fruit itself is rather flavorless. Orange
juice with bit of the grated rind of
the fruit may be used also.
Rice is also very nice served with
fig sauce. Take one cupful of figs,
stew in two cupfuls of water and a
tablespoonful of sugar until they are
very tender, add a teaspoonful of
lemon juice and serve a tablespoonful
of the sauce with each helping Of the
rice.

Cabbage Salad De Luxe.

Shred tender crisp cabbage very
fine; add shredded coconut and shred
ded blanched almonds. Add mayon-
naise to which has been added plenty
Of whipped cream. Garnish the salad
with slivers of fresh green pepper.
Take the tender tops of sprouted
turnips, dress with French dressing
and serve as a salad. This will be
something new and very good. One
may spread the turnips out near the
light, a bushel or so, and the tops
may be cut from time to time, keeping
a fresh green salad at hand. These
green's are also pretty used as gar
niSh.

val-loving South. Against the time
of Palm Sunday the windows OF
the little bakers shops are suddenly
decorated by collection of odd-look-
ing swans, made of kind OF bread
dough and ornamented by big, black
currant eyes. OF course the shapes
are somewhat primitive and make you
think Of the swan you can form out
of the figure 2, but sometimes they
are quite glorious and give us the pic
ture of big mother swan, with two
or three little ones on her back, an at
titude which gives no end of pleasure
to the little possessors of such
marvel.
Besides the swans you may remark
wheels OF the same breadlike material,
about as big as good-sized plate, serv-
inc as a solid basis for the Easter palm
that is going to be made. On Easter
eve, when the little ones have gone to
bed. father and mother have a busy
time constructing that work of art.
First the wheel must be attached to
a stick, by which the structure IS TO
be carried. Then, on the wheel that
lies horizontally, some six swans are
placed upright, each with twig Of fir
or palm green on head and tail. Then
chains Of raisins, prunes and many
colored sugar plums are hung between
the swans and draped around the
wheel. A big orange is fastened in
the middle and the Easter palm is
ready. The parents go on tiptoe to
place it before the bed where the lit
tie sleeper is dreaming of tomorroW's
joys.

Then follow the merry professions
in white nightgowns with the gay
Easter palms, gladdened by the dear
old song that does not cease till bed
time:
Palm, palm of Easter
Eli koerei.
After one moro Sunday we shall have
an egg.
One egg is no egg.
Two eggs is half an egg.
Three eggs is fiI.e Easter egg!
I never could find out what was
meant by the joyous Ell koerei.' 1t
might be a corruption of some Old
Greek psalm or song, but must leave
the explanation to classical scholars. /
All I know is that we used to sing
our palm song until we went to bed
quite hoarse with the singing and rath-
er the worse for the different bites OF
"swan" we had enjoyed in the course
of the day. That glorious prediction
of the "good Easter egg" is largely full
filled, you may be sure.
The soft-eyed, downy Easter hare
does not lay it's eggs for us, as it does
for our little German neighbOrs. Our
eggs are laid by ordinary hens, but
they are wonderful just the same.
Grandmothers, aunts and sisters
amuse themselves by knitting many
colored little nets to hold the Easter
treasures and, on Saturday, mother
hangs up a big kettle of some mysteri-
Gus stuff to dye the eggs with. Some
are colored green with spinach leaves,
others red with beet juice. The more
elegant ones are painted by some art
ist friend and provided with names
and dates, flowers and even pictures.
The many-colored nets are filled with
eggs and oranges and kept in store to
be given out on Easter morning.

The dew of the first Easter
morning still clings to the SIM

It refreshes our souls today,

has never set, and the light
of it is today making glad the
