as SO true. 1t seemed wrong TO her
TO have so much and others So
little! And he had made her re-

life she had forgotten. She hoped
he would see Mr.. Ferguson. and
talk TO him.

short note that troubled and pug

to have predicted The very thing
which had now happened to him
And yet not that thing.
He OWNED instinctively that

his sermon bad brought on an UNI

OF this new teaching had dawned
upon her--consequences which she
had not foreseen when abe had
foretold the change. And he
seemed to read between the lines
that the reunciation he demanded
was too great. Would he
not lie: her come and talk TO him?
Miss Brewer. a lady Of no incon-

those who told him plainly that II

give up their pews. Three or four
commun ications were even more

Mrs. Plimpton's brother. who at
five and forty had managed TO triple
his share OF the Gore inheritance,
wrote that II would be his reSrctful
duty to send to the bishop au IN

There we're, indeed. a few letters
which he laid. Thankfully. in 4 pile

from certain humble members OF
his parish who had not followed
their impulses to go TO him after
the service. or from strangers who
had CHANGED to drop into the
church.
Some were autobiographica', such
as those OF trained nurse, SEN

had sat up late Sunday night TO
summarize what that sermon had
meant 70 him, how gray and
hopeless existence had taken on
new color.
Next Sunday he would bring

in the same strain; at last they

Shelves For
Your Books

The building in OF bookshelvcs is
a fascinating pastimc, and II is
astonishing how many waste spaces
can be reclaimed and made useful
by this means. For example. on
one side of my fireplace there used
TO be an ugly closet, but ! removed
the door and fllcu IL with shelves
flush with the inner molding Of the
doorway. These were stained to
match the woodwork and now make
a capacious bookcase.
If YOU plan TO run book shelves
around the walls of your living
room. IL is important To make them
of tho right height, for nothing
makes a sharper line on the wall. or
calls attention moro loudly to the
proportions of the room. IL is not
O good plan to divide the wall equ-
ally; the top of the book-shclves
should be distinctly above or dis
tinctly below the middle of the
space.
If you have books cnough to Ill
only two cases, n large reading or
writing table can be placed along
the wall between them with n good
light upon IL, so that as ono writes,
the most needed books are within
easy reach. An ingenious addition
OF little shelves on brackets around
the ends of the bookcases holds
many an extra volume, when space

Bronchial
Cough
By Brice Belden, NJ. ID.

A TTACKS Of acute catarrhal
~ bronchitis have been expert
enced. we suppose, by every
body. and some people are espe-
cially prone TO them. 1t may there
fore prove useful to outline the
main points regarding this common
affection.
In many cases the disease follows
exposure to cold and wet. particu-
larry when the body is overheated.
or the inhalation Of Irritating gases
or dust Changablc weather favors
its occurrence. Sometimes. Of
course, IL is one OF the manifes;a-
lions OF a general infection such a.
measles. whoOping-cough, typhoid
fever, influenza, etc.
The germs most commonly assoc
ciated with acute catarrhal brOn-
chitis are the pneumococcu7, the
micrococcus cdtarrhalis. the suep
tococcus, the staphylococaus, and
the influenza bacillus.
The chief features are: chillineS3
and general malaise; sense OF
soreness and construction behind
the bresstbone, increased by cough
ing: slight fever 200 to 1O2 de-
grees FahrenheiD with It's associa-
atcd symptoms; and cough which
Is at FIRST cry and painful but later
accompanied by more or less album
dant eNpoctoration.
In the aged and very young. and
in those much run down, the dis
ease may lead to pneumonia. Ordi-
narily the outlook IL good and the
affection runs comparatively
brief course.
Regarding treatment, If the pa
tent be weak or old. he should be
confined TO his room or even to bed.
At the outset. free sweating is use
ful. 1t may be secured by means
Of hot drinks. hot footballs, blan-
kcts and hot water bags, and sweet
spirits of inter (adult dose thirty
drops every two hours, in some
water).
4 mustard plaster applied TO the
chest is very beneficial. The food
should be simple and readily d.
gestible. A laxative should be
given.

Striking a
Balance

soup for dinner should lie
HSht in character, as consomme,
broth or bouillon. that the appe-
ute be stimulated rather than
satisfied. If the main dish at
dinner be roast beef let the flavor
OF some other meat than beef be
predominant in the soup.
With meat or fish dish serve
one underground vegetable. as Do
tatocs, turnips, bects, and ono
vegetable grown above ground, as
lettuce. cabbage. celery.
If the green vegetable Is served
as a salad, the simple French
dressing of oil. acid, salt and pep
per is preferable to a rich mayon-
naisc or a cooked dressing. Re-
serve these latter dressings for
luncheon and supper. when the
salad serves as the main dish Of
the meal.
The acid in apples and pine
apples aids in the digestion Of
bacon. ham. pork chops, and roast
pork: cranberry sauce or fruit
jellics harmonic with dishes Of
poultry. while mint sauces or ap-
pie mint jelly is appropriate with
lamb. especially when roasted.
The acid OF lemon Is appetiIing
with fish and shellfish and the
flavor OF tomatoes Is almost
equally desirable with any dish OF
meat, fish, beans or paste (maca-
ronL noodles
Canned fruit, fruit cup, grape
Juice in Selatine dishes or with
tapioca, grape juice sherbet and
similar sweet dishes are appro-
pirate after boiled, broiled. or
roasted meats. while mince pie or
strawberry shortcake enriches q
dinner in which fish. eggs or some
leftover material is the main
dish.

GERMAN POLICE
MUST DISBAND
Failed to Salute French Officers
and Ordered to Leave
City.
(By The Associated Press.)

DUSSELDORF, March 12-Inability
of the German security police officegs
to compel privates to salute French
officers caused General Degoutte to-
day to order the disarmament and dis
bandment of 1900 security police IN
Dusseldorf and command them to leave
the city before 10 o'clock tonight.
An officer, a member of whose squad
refused to salute a French major,
commander of the French troops in
Dusseldorf, were comforting at French
headquarters today when the German
officer asked to be permitted to apol-
ogize but the French generals declined
to accept apology.
Meantime the recaltrant private
stood laughing in the commandant's
waiting room. The French majo-
had addressed him in German:
You must salute me-" THE police
man replied, Il won't" and did not
A similar incident yesterday was set
tied by the apology of two officers
and their promise to enforce the sa-
mting of French officers by the police.
