EASY FOR FRENCH PEASANTS
American Tourists Expected to Pour
Golden Flood Through tho War
Devastated Regions.

Commenting on the American sum-
mer rush to Europe, especially to The
French battlefelds, Customs Inspector
Henri Duval said in New Orleans:
Il am reminded Of O tourist anec-
dote.
in many French provinces every
peasant raises each year for his fam
ily'S use one or two enormous pigs
Nothing of the pig Is discarded-the
fat is boiled down for lard; the blood
is made into blood buildings; the hams
are cured; the chops are sailed; the
feet are dried; the meat in the head
Is chopped into sausage meat; even
the ears are preserved; an occasional
slice of ear being used to enrich the
soup. And the tail? Oh, yes, they
use the tail, too. 1t Is stewed with
vegetables and contains, they say, a
tiny morsel Of delicious meat
But to return to the anecdote. An
American touring the north of France
one summer before the war, asked a
peasant what the people Whereabouts
lived on.
"'Pigs, monsieur, in the winter re-
piled the peasant, and tourists in the
summer
Customs Inspector Duval laughed.
Well" he said, ''the tales of extor-
ton hear from people now return
Ing from France make me think that
few peasants will be eating pigs ears
or pigs tails this winter-they'n be
eating truff1ed chicken and drinking
champagne"

Preserving birds as game is only
one part of the duty Of the govern

as enemies of noxious weeds and in

Gus Of the fact. says the Philadelphia
Inquirer. Those who care nothing for
their beauty Of plumage and song must
recognize the Circumstance. Yet the

PROOF OF TRUE FRIENDSHIP
What More Could Be Asked OF ANY
Man Than the Sacrifice max
is Here Recorded

There are various ways OF evldenc'
ing true friendship. Sorrow and SUI
fering bring out the best In others, ou1
it Is our habit to be sympathetic ana
not always does it prove that sympa-
thy and friendship are akin. When a
man will lend you money without COL
lateral he is indeed a friend.
But we find our true friends IN 9th
er ways The other day we were In
hurry and we needed hair cut. 50
we beat 1t into our favorite barber
shop to find our favorite barber busy
and man ahead of US.
We we're about to depart without the
trim we sorely needed, when the man
ahead of US spoke up:
"You always have the same barber
don't your"
"Yep," we replied.
"WeI, I'm next for his chair, but
I'm in no hurry. You just go ahead
and take my turn. I'll wait"
There was friendship for you, and as
we thanked him for his kindness we
couldn't help remarking:
Greater love hath no man than
this, that he will give up his place in a
barber shop for another."-Exchange.

Europe is facing serious shortage
Of fuel, of all kinds. Coal, gas gaso-

used. The advantages Of this 1orm are
said to be: Power-no matter IN what

mill Is recommended to be run IN con-
nection with an electric generator anu

that the windmill can operate ID prac-

Reading Aloud to Children.
From The Thrift Magazine.

The value of reading aloud to a child
a not be overstated. 1t establishes a
delightful comradeship between the
parent and child. TIL child's mind is
like a photographic cylinder of most
tenacious adhesIyeness. With this I'M
Outstanding the greatest care in ahoos-
ing the Impressions that are to be
made on this plastic mind should be
taken. When they are very young one
should begin his practice. Animal and
bird stories even the tiny tots enjoy.
And it is surprising and interesting to
watch how eagerly they listen. n how
quickly they comprehend. Before you
are aware they have acquired a taste
for good reading. and a love for Iature
is well established. Then comes his
tory and science.
Many a boy inc girl who are way
ward, spending their evenings on the
street-an anxiety to their parents
might have had an entirely different
start, and outlook on life, II when mere
kiddies a little money had been spent
for magazines and books that children
like, n a little time each day and
evening had been given them. 1t is a
very mistaken idea that some parents
rave that they cannot afford to spend
the money in this way, or devote this
time from other work. A very large
percentage of boys and girls who have
gone to the bad are from bookless homes
and from parents who nave not been

House Boats and Rents.
From The Providence Journal.

FROM The Providence Journal.
why not build yourself a houseboat
and laugh at high rents?" This question
Is put by the Outlook, which tells US
has grown up on the Harlem river, with
in the boundaries of New York city.
Many Of the boats, it appears, have
such ~conveniences as electric lights
running water and tiled baths-and the
rents are but SO q month.
This sounds very attractive. There Is
something fascinating about q house
boat, aside from questions of economy,
especially at the time of year that is
just now approaching. The ho%useboat
OCCUPANT can moor his craft at a wharf
and have a pleasant view not only of
the adjacent town but Of river, harbor
or bay. He can be, by means of his
g~angplank, within easy distance of
train or trolley, and still feel q COM
Portable sense of isolation when he
enters his floating home.
There is a survival in every mans
breast of the primeval desire to with
draw ones self at times from his fell
lows. 1t may be in part the instinct of
self-preservation. The popularity of is
lands is probably another instance of
the same survival. The .house-boat pro-
vides a comfortable feeling of a%loofness,
and, at the same time, retains for its
household a close connection with the
rest Of the world.
