WHICH WILL LAST LONGER
 SPLIT OR ROUND FENCE POSTS?

Some people believe split fence posts last longer than do round ones. Prob ably as large a number hold the oppo- site vftw. The Forest Products Lab oratory of the United States Depart mcnt of Agriculture says that one will last about as long as the other if the percentage of heartwood and sapWood are the same in both. If the percent age of sapwood is increased by splitting the spit post will be less durable. while if the percentage of heartwood is increased it will be more durable than the round one Exceptions to this should be made if the posts are of spruce, hemlock, or any of the true frs. whose heartwood and sapwood are about equally durable.
 If the posts are to be treated with creoSote or some other preservatiyc. the round post is preferable to the split. because of the comparative ease with which the sapwood can be treated. at the laboratory demon

THE UNANSWERED QUESTION.

If a man reads the New Testament believes it, obeyS it, and lives up to its requirements. will he have the Holy Spirit? Will he be a Christian? Will he be anything but a Christian? If so what makes demnominations and re igious sects.
 Now here iS what perpleXeS me. The Baptist proposes to take me through his theological process, and bring me out a Baptist; the Methodist proposes to take me through his theological process and bring me out a Methodist; the Nag arene takes me through the same thing Here is what I want answered: l. there not process revealed in the New Tstament through which may become n Christian only, live a Christian only and die Christian only: or will this process make me any thing but q Chris tian only and will any deviation from this process justify the hope of infal lible safe y and security for this life or IUe UtSl, HIu VIII tut 4NtW IeStdlutht as it is written, make a Baptist, Meth odist, Nazarene, or anything but a Christian only? The Bible never speaks of Free Will Baptists. Mission ary BaptistS, or Campbellte Baptists, nor Presbyterian Romanists. Mormons, Adventists. Nazarenes. Protestant Meth odists. Then why so many different names and all are Christians? Chris tian is pre- eminently a religion of su- pernatural power, it reveals an inf mite and almighty God and brings him into touch with our human weakness and need Other religions have ideals more or less exalted, but the religion of tn Bible Is the only religion thet gives men power to live up to the Di- ! vine ideal Give us Gods ways.

The virus of infantile paralysis

And carrier" may farbor the virus

Do Oysters Appear Frequently or
Your Table?

We all know what it is to get SO
tired OF "the same old foods on the
table. But we are not as apt to reach
this state of mind if we plan our meals
so that We get as much variety into one
week as possible. In many homes the

some of the following oyster recipes:
Escalloped Oysters with Celery.-N-

chopped celery. Parboil the celery in
salted water for twenty minutes, then

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY ELSIE ROBINSON.

The most potent weapon in the
world is a grin. But it must be
regular grln--no one-sided affair. Re-
member, you're always just as funny
yourself as the fellow you're grinning
at-so when you start to grin make
it go double if you wish results. A
grin isn't simply a distortion of the
facial muscles. It's the outward
indication of an inward state Of mind,
it's the flag Of tremendous victory
over yourself. 1t doesn't do just to
broaden your mouth. You must first
broaden your soul. And that's some
job!
Your fighting grin means that the
other fellow isn't getting your goat
and that you've no desire to get his,
beyond defending yourself. That calls
for the tolerance and philosophy of a
god. 1t means that you understand
his mood and can conquer it, because
you have felt the same mood and have
conquered it in your self. And that
calls for the wisdom and strength Of
two gods and at least half a dozen
saints.
There's nothing weak about a. real
grin. It's neither silly nor sentimen-
tai nor cowardly. It's just about the
hardest thing to achieve and the most
formidable thing to face in the whole
gamut Of human expression. 1t I'M
plies bravery and vision, patience and
infinite grit 1t means that you have
lifted your soul to plane where pet
tiness cannot reach you.

Short Cape Of Frock Material.
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

One must quote news from Paris
happens there more frequently than
at these stated intervals. Our manu-
facturers have returned from their
late autumn trip to France, bringing
back with them a mass of new ideas
for the coming season. These they
have modified according to the needs
of the American. This work is essen
tial, for it is rare that we can wear
Paris clothes as they are.
The one thing upon which they lay
emphasis Is the short cape and its
constant appearance on the str"et
and for the functions of society at
are held indoors. Is it warm? is the
first American question. No, Is the
anwer by those who live in bitter
climates. But one must not ask this
question, for the garment Is not In
tended to take the place Of a fur coat
or long wrap. 1t is merely a graceful
way of covering thin blouse. Wear
the fur coat over 1t. IL you have one.
If not, wear whatever you possess for
the icy outside air.
The spring is coming more quickly
in the minds of those who make
clothes. you know. than In the cal
endar or the minds of women who
have just succeeded in completing
the first mild weather that these
capes are offered, meanwhile putting
in their preliminary trial at the
southern resorts. On the street. in
! Paris. and now in New York. women
have begun to wear woolen frocks
with swinging capes of the fabric.
They have no armholes. The arms
hold them in place with whatever
gesture of romance or bandttry one
can achieve. The fabric chosen is not
one of plain color. but of checks or
stripes or the heather mixtures that
prevail for smart outdoor clothes.
Taking this idea for more formal
clothes. the dressmakers in Paris have
inaugurated the short velvet cape to
go with velvet gowns. Doucet did
this in September with notable
black velvet gown. but the fashion
I has become prevalent instead OF in
dividual.
The cape is circular. after the man

have superseded the tightly drawn

Variety in Vinegar.

If not taken in excessive amounts
vinegar Is a wholesome addition to
the diet. We Americans have per-
haps less knowledge of the fine points
Of vinegar in cookery than have most
Europeans. To some of us vinegar
means but one thing. 1t is some
thing that we order from the grocery
store, that we add to nayonnaise or
French dressing, and serve in a
vinegar cruet on the table for those
who like 1T with spinach, cabbage,
corn beef or other dishes.
But there is an enormous variety
in vinegar. Homemade cider vine
gar is pretty sure to be good, and SO
