i PARABLE or THE BAD TEMPER
There came unto me one who said
/ I have a Very Bad Temper.
And he said it with what he thought
was humility, but II was as it had beer
a certain sort Of pride.
| And I said, Thou art 8 Narrow

he was no Liar when he said that he

And he said, Thou has Insulted me;
for a Quick Temper Is not the sign OF

Warm and Generous Nature; for, il
am quick to be angry, I am quick also
to get over it, and very ready to Make
Amends.
Now we spake in the Garden, and

turned I had been in the Kitchen, and

And I said, the best way to make
amends for Bad Temper is to keep
thy temper to myself.

FIRE

Whatever Is destroyed by fire in
creases the cost OF living for each OF
US. 1t may take time, but such losses
inevitably spread out through the
the whole system OF economics, to be
borne by all.
SO all Of us should give deep thought
to Monday, October 10, the 5Oth ami
versary Of the Chicago fire, which has
been set apart for national Fire. Pre-
vention Day.
Don't run. No drives are planned.
You are not asked to contribute
funds. The day Is merely one to
make US think OF the tremendous
waste Of fires, most Of which result
from foolishness or carelessness.
The great Chicago fire Of 1871 de-
stroyed sI90,000.000 Of property. At 4
per cent compound interest that, to-
day, would amount to about 500. 00O.-
600.
And yet. each year buildings de-
stroyed by fire In America total a
greater loss-averaging s250.OoO,o00 a
year. The evil is scattered, so we do
not realize that every S65 days the ma
ton stages a greater eonflagration
than the fire Of 1871.
Houses destroyed annually by fire
would make a street over 200 miles
long.
On top OF burned buildings. we have
the enormous wealth forever destroyed
BY forest fires.
What has turned into ashes is gone.
The important point is. that most
fires result from carelessness. that the
fire rate can be cut materially BY ex-
ercising personal caution.
The only way to prevent fire Is to-
be careful in handling fire or the
things that produce combustion
matches. smouidering cigarette stubs,
gasoline, camp fires and greasy rags.
An ounce OF prevention Is worth a
ton OF ashes.

Common Sense Ways to
Keep Well
~ Oh. r. II. BISHOP
BAD HABITS
ay "a. 3.


Bad habits are almost always the
cause for that dread disease, diabetes.
Most of those who have diabetes have
earned it through eating an excess of
sugars and starches.
There is a little organ in the body
called the pancreas. which takes care
Of the sugars and starches. Like any
other organ of the body. it does its
work well, and only cries out when
vastly overworked. Excessive overworlx
finally exhausts 1t and the result is
diabetes.
Starches and sugars are converted
by the body into heat and energy.
When an excess is eaten, what Is not
used Is converted into fat and stored
away as such. For this reason most
people who acquires diabetes are fat
Obesity is the first sign that tells us
that too much sugar and starch are
being consumed and we should be
warned by such a condition that dia-
hetes Is a potential menace. When this
warning is continually disregarded and
the work of the pancreas becomes
more and more difficult, then comes
diabetes. However it must be said that
fairness Is not always the warning that
diabetes is in the offing. Some lean
people are liable to develop the disease.
Just as one man can smoke more ci-
gars or cigarettes than another with
out harming himself, so one man has
greater capacity for sugars and
starches than another. No one can
Judge his pancreas by the pancreas Of
his neighbor
Becaue he eats less bread and
sweets than the next man is no reason
that he is not overworking his pam
creas. In the first place that next man
with whom he is comparing himself
may either have diabetes or he may be
developing it. And in the second place.
the other man may have been born
with a stronger and better pancreas.
Diet is of the utmost importance and
should be regulated by a physician to
fit the case, since each diabetic has his
own particular needs.
Personal hygiene is also important
in diabetes. Improvement depends a
great deal on the patient himself. He
should do everything possible to keep j
from family and business troubles and /,
lead quiet life in a mild climate.
Diabetes is one of the diseases which |
q periodic examination will often pre-
vent because it can be discovered and /
treated before it gets a good foothold.

INSECT MENACE

IN 1892 some gray beetles, about a
quarter Of an inch long, crossed the
Rio Grande river, from Mexico. They
landed near Brownsville, Texas. Agri-
cultural scientists announced, with
considerable alarm, that the picudo or
Mexican boil weevil had invaded the
United States.
The boil weevils started to conquer
the cotton belt, pushing their lines for
ward so miles a year.
In 1902 they damaged the cotton
crop to the extent Of $4,000. o00 That
caused alarm.

That Is a piece of cunning implant-

would have hard battles to fight and
that its eggs must be hidden.
Cotton rises in price, partly due to
