That rare book does need mend

Better get a little tissue paper and
then make a rice paste. Mix a little
powdered rice with cold water, rub

a little boiling water and boil, STIR

This is an excellent paste for all

NO ''EASY MONEY!
Term Is Used as a Joke Amonq
Real Financiers.
Great Wealth Seldom Gained Without
Actual Hard Work, as Men in
High Position Know.

The Ponzi case in Boston affords an
excellent example of the need of bet
ter understanding Of the principles Of
thrift in this country, S. w. Straus,
president of the American Society for
Thrift, says.
It is very rare that great wealth is
gained overnight. There have been oc-
casional instances where men have
found gold or struck oil or written a
successful novel, or brought into being
a great and useful invention, with the
result that the floodgates of money
such instances are of such rare occur
renee that they can be eliminated as
not within the range of possibilities for
the ave age man.
The processes of thrift must be full
filed In the preparation of success
full financial career.
The so-called Napoleons Of finance
generally meet very early Waterloo.
Success in the material things of life
means a slow but substantial upbuild-
ing. First of all, the foundation must
be right, just as it must be in the case
of great building.
The practice of thrift in the early
years of ones life not only gives one
1t gives what is even more important
business understanding. In practic-
ing thrift, we are demonstrating one
Of the essential functions of business
success. This does not mean that
through thrift alone one can build up
a great fortune. but it does mean that
In gaining whatever success we attain
in life in a material way we must first
of all learn the principles Of true
economy.
The fate of Ponzi and the luckless
ones who are striving to regain the
money they intrusted to him is just an
other example of the fallacy of easy
money.
Something cannot be created from
nothing
New capital alone must come from
what Is earned and saved.
If you are employed on salary
your profits are what you save, not
what you earn. What you have left at
the end Of the month or at the end of
the year constitutes your new capital.
If you wish to get ahead, to get out
of the rut you now feel you are in.
you must build up that capital; you
must create new wealth for yourself
and put 1t to work for you.
These are the only processes through
all the ages, and the only ones through
which one ever will succeed In ages
to come.

A historical fact that was impressed
upon the minds of children of past
generation was that certain king
was playing tennis when he was told
he had to ascend the throne of Eng
land. 1t may bring back to some the
remembrance of schoolroom days when
they hear that two tennis balls have
been found among the dust and cob
webs of the old rafters of Westmin-
ster hall. They are said to date back
to the time of Henry VIII, who was
an ardent player of the "royal game"
The balls are made Of leather and
stuffed with human hair, all balls of
an early period being made In that
way. The leather has burst In several
places and faint traces of white may
be seen on the surface. The balls are
not both the same size, one being two
and half inches in diameter and the
other only an inch and half. Whom
was King Harry playing with. and did
he feel impatient when he sent the
balls spinning into the rafters? 1t
was not lawn tennis then.-Christian

Saving European Children.

Work among the starving children
of Europe is being participated in by
the Young Women's Christian asso-

Polish-American girls who trained
for social service in Poland under the

with the American Relief association
In charge of the distribution of food
to children in outlying districts Of
Poland. According to recent letters
from them. they are feeding 100000
children day, through the food

The Y. w. G. A. Is one of the eight
organizations in the European relief
council formed under the direction Of
Herbert Hoover for the relief Of Eu-
ropean children.

Pointer for the Housewife

The woman who reduces herself to
q fragile and her family to nervous
wrecks does it by trying to do each
separate piece Of work to perfection.
We all like perfectly appointed
household, but it Is vastly more impor-
tant that home should be comfort
able, where the family likes to gather,
than that no grain Of dust should ever
be seen. Homework, done right, Is
more healthful than almost any other
work. Making beds Is an excellent ex-
ercise for sluggish liver, but don't
forget that tired housewife may be
rested and refreshed by a brisk walk
In the fresh air. Fatigue Is often
caused from bad air, and with the
lungs filled with pure air the body is
able to throw Off the poisons.
Pick out the important things to be
done daily and do them, reserving
time and strength for these things.
The important thing is meals They
mean more to the family than any
thing else. as they are the fuel which
keeps you gOing.-Exchange

OH Prospects In Australia.

Analyses Of petroleum gas at Roma
Queensland, have been made which
show it to be considerably richer than
the gas from most petroleum wells
Using American standards Of pressure
and temperature In absorption tests,
1t Is estimated that the Roma gas
will yield 2 pints Of petrol per 1000
cubic feet. The mines department
has decided to continue boring below
the gas strata, In the belief that oil
will be found. Difficulty In obtaining
casing is delaying further boring at
Marburg, Queensland. The bore is
now over 400 feet down, penetrating
sandstones and shales which contain
productive coal measures, while tests
OF a sample Of the sludge from the
bottom Of the bore reveal a small per-
centage of oil.

CRUSHED BY TURKS
Invaders Heel Trod Heavily on
Town of Aintab.
Americans Are BusiIy at Work Help
ing to Rebuild Once Prosperous
Little City in Eastern Syria.

Clustering red-tiled roofs, white stuc-
coed walls the fresh green of grace
full pOplarS, and minaretS rising here
and there in slender beauty-this is
the picture greeting the visitor ap-
preaching through the mountains rim
ming it about, the once important town
of Aintab, which nestles at the foot
of Mount Taurus on the eastern coast
of Syria, says the Christian Science
Monitor.
Aintab was not only beautiful, but
prosperous in those days before the
Turk invaded the land, swept it bare
. Of its industry, scattered its people to
the four corners Of the earth, and de-
ported them inland to the desert or
outward to the fringe of seacoast.
Today, however, as one approaches
more closely to the town, one sees that
there are gaps in the rows Of white
succeed houses, that many of those
picturesque red-tiled roofs are falling
In, that many of the houses are empty
and decaying, and that the town which
looked so beautiful from afar is really
a shell, an echo of that once busy,
flourishing Aintab which with it's 49,
OOO inhabitants, formed an important
link in the caravan route from Con-
stantinople, and was known far an6
wide for its trade in fooled lea Their
and its great cattle market.
When the first party Of Americans
from the Near East relief reached Ain
tab after the Turkish military had
swept on its devastating course, the
wanderers, hearing that help was to
be had, began to come struggling back.
They must be fed and housed, their
homes rcmade, schools rebuilt for their
children, and places must be provided
for the little ones left homeless.
Promptly the work was begun and
took on at once twofOld significance;
not only did it furnish employment
for the workmen, but also shelter for
their families. The women found en-
ployment in weaving, and turned the
wool, which is plentiful in Syria into
fabrics much needed by those who
had lost all their possessions includ-
ing clothing. Some of them wove rugs,
and ready market was found for
them, often among the American relief
workers.
Slowly but surely Aintab is coming
into her own once more. New Armen-
Ian houses are beginning to rise from
the ashes of the old; refugees are
pouring back from desert and noun
tains and the shore Of the sea. And
sound as they call their wares, their
rags and scraps of household COM
modities, in the bazaar in the center
of the town.

it was decided to forward the text to Secretary Charles E. Hughes, and the yacht Mayflower. laid up for the night in the still waters of a SC cluded cove in the reaches of the river, buzzed off from her wireless that night to the State Departmen; the words which later were to ring around the world.
 Of course, the preliminary dipla matte feeler was transmitted to the nations concerned, but it is said that the text of the final and formal in vitation as it later went out sub s,antially was the same as President Harding conceived it that night while resting on the yacht Mayflower down the river
 The evolution of the concrete American proposals for naval limita tion-Secretary Hughes bombshell-- also heard around the world at the first session, is still another story.
 Certain admirers have ascribed them to Secretary Hughes alone while others have declared they were the composite effort of the four American delegates, of whom Mir Hughes is one. Every body seems to be agreed that they were not drafted by naval officials, and almost every body had left out President Harding until the "inside story" began to cir culate
 The great secret, to which Arthur J. Balfour referred so artistically in his address recently must indeed have been well kept because between seven and ten men knew it. That number includes the four American delegates and President Harding. The others worked on various phases of the proposal
 It is known, of course, that it was based on memoranda called from the Navy Department. and it was carried into execution by the American Big Four, which Secretary Hughes heads but the "big idea on which the plan is built, the inside story" says came from President Harding.
