THE CONSTITUTION

If departed spirits can and do take
any cognizance of earthly affairs, then
. the trainers of the constitution of these
United States might we'll glow with sat-
isfaction over a recent development at
Woonsockct, Rhode Island. 1t was in
that part of the country that the witch
craft craze originated, and doubtless the
trainers of the constitution had that ia
natical movement in mind when they
put into the nations organic law guar
anty of religious liberty. Now, in the
region where people who had queer"
religious convictions were once burned
to rid "true believers" of malign influ-
ences, an impressive example of re-
Igious tolerance and fellowship is be-
ing set.
= The dispatch from Woonsocket is
brief in form, but it conveys an eternity
of meaning:
"The Woonsocket Masonic Club and
the Woonsocket Knights of Columbus
will meet on October % in social ses-
sion, according to an announcement is
sued by both organizations. Plans are
being made on large scale for the
gathering.
"The project originated with a Ma
sonic club, and the invitation extended
to the local knights was enthusiastically
accepted with the view of cooperation
on common grounds and greater social
intercourse between the two organiza-
tions."
This is obviously an enterprise in the
interest of fundamental principle OF
American governmental principle that
has become too much of mere abstrac-
ton for some of us. 1t is one thing to
talk of tolerance, but something else to
practice it in the homely contacts of
everyday affairs. If mere talk was suf-
ficient, then there would be perfect toll
erance' everywhere; perhaps no one in
the entire country nowadays would open
ly advocate intolerance, yet intolerance
creeps into many peoples relations with
each other.
The plans of the Woonsocket organi-
cations mentioned seem to promise a
practical application of the spirit mani
tested by the delegates to the Baptists'
recent international convention. They
proclaimed by resolution, a creed of
universal Christian fellowship. declaring
that it made no vital difference what
communion a person belonged to, or
whether he belonged to any communion
at all, SO long as he was sincere disci-
pie of the lowly Nazarene.
In effect, then, the Woonsocket or
CARNATIONS are not only protesting anew
their faith in one of the greatest prin-
ciples Of American government. but Civ
ing that principle concrete interpreta-
ton in terms of personal. activities.
Therefore, if departed spirits can and
do take cognizance of earthly affairs,
the trainers of the constitution of these
United States might we'll cast upon the
attendants at the forthcoming meeting
an aura Of profound satisfaction.

BLIND WAR HERO A MILITARY
SCHOOL TEACHER

The story of the blind Paul Saller-
in is another instance of wounded
war veteran taking up his duties in
the world in spite of handieaps, and
recalls the story of Edmund Lantuss,
the wounded village schoolmaster,
who returned to teach in his former
place at st. Laurent-sous-Coiron.
Captain Sallerin lives in Paris at IA
Rue Daru, a school for the reIeduca-
ton of the blind His little room
opens on garden and he likes to
keep the windows open wide in order
to hear the birds singing in the
bushes below
Captain Of the 10th Regiment, he
was seriously wounded in Champagne,
January |, 1915, while leading his
men in an attack. Six months of I'M
consciousness were followed by six
months of intense suffering, while
physicians despaired of his life, and
then he miraculously pulled through,
but with the total loss of his sight.
He then entered the school for the
re-education of the blind, devoted
himself to preparing for professor
ship, and finally obtained the chair
of history at the Military School of
Saint Laurent Coiron.

PURITY

Not so many years ago terrific
battle was waged in these United
States between the proclaimed cham
pions of good and the alleged demons
of evil. 1t all centered around a sub
stance known as benzoate of soda,
which was being used in foods, bot
tied and canned, by certain packers
engaged in manufacturing and selling
articles for consumption by the Amer
lean people.
The umelenting enemy of those
who used benzoate of soda in any
preserved food matter was Harvey
Washington Wiley-at that time chief
chemist of the United States apart
ment of Argentine
In more recent times Dr.. Wiley has
been seeking fresh laurels by engag-
ing in the war on alcohol He has
been the biggest gun among the re-
formers who legislated prohibition
and are now seeking To enforce the
legislation.
+ Now comes the browning glory OF
his old age. The latest ruling of the
United States Government is to the
effect that housewives, in order K
prevent fruit juices prepared at homt
from developing kick must add ben
zoate of soda.--Baltimore Sun.

WOMEN HAVE RIGHT TO ENTER
SOLDIERS HOMES

Women who served during the
World War will have the right to be
admitted to homes for disabled volun-
teer soldiers. according to decision
from George H. Wood, president of
the board of managers Of the Nation
al Homes for Disabled Volunteer Sol
diers.
While present facilities of the
homes have not been designed nor in
tended for the care and treatment Of
women, executive officers will be in
structed TO meet this new demand on
the service, Mr.. Woods letter stated.
Honorable discharges from the ar
my, navy and marine corps were
granted to approximately $4,000 wo-
men who served in the last war.
Homes for disabled volunteer soldiers
are located in Ohio, Wisconsin, Vim
ginia, Kansas, California, Indiana,
Tennessee and South Dakota.
The legion has endeavored to obtain
this privilege for former service wo'
men as a part of its national cam
paign in the interests of the disabled.
National officials of the ex-service
mems organization have EXPRESSED
qualification that the ruling has been
made.

HOT WEATHER DRINKS

Fruit juices make excellent drinks.
The following recipes are from The
Farm journal, August number: Or
ange and pineapple juice added to a
rich lemonade improve it for many
people.
Current jelly dissolved i'm either
not or cold water makes a refreshing
drink. So do many other jellies.
Chilled blackberry or raspberry juice
diluted to taste and served with or
without a slice of lemon touches the
spot.
Fruit punch is made by adding to
lemonade small pieces of sliced pine
apple, orange, muskmelon, cherries,
and sprig of mint leaves. Use the
lemon squeezer on oranges. just as
on lemons, and pour the juice on fine
ly cracked, artificial ice.
Milk drinks are good. Use about
two tablespoonfuls of fruit syrup with
quarters of glassful of milk.
Sugar may be added to suit the taste,
but it is generally unnecessary. Add
the milk to the flavoring rather than
the flavoring to the milk. A small
stream of charged water is an addi-
ton to these drinks. All mixtures
should be well shaken or whipped. A
little nutmeg or cinnamon sprinkled
over the top of any of these drinks
makes them even more appetizing.
Macaroon milk is made by sitting
crushed macaroons over the top Of
the milk. Vanilla, root beer, maple,
chocolate, strawberry, pineapple,
grape, orange, raspberry or cherry
silup may be used as a flavoring. To
make milk juleps add two-thmds of a
glassful of milk to about two table
sponsful of strip, then break an egg
into the glass, shake thoroughly and
add charged water, if available. Use
whole egg with cherry, root beer,
chocolate, strawberry or pineapple
sirup.

A SlDELlGHT ON THE ILLUS
TRIOUS DEAD

In all that could be written of the
last moments of President Harding,
nothing will better indicate the char
aeter of the man or come closer to
reaching the deepest sympathies of
the country than the tender episode
of his receiving bouquets from two
little girls who brought him flowers
as their expression of childish regard
for the helpless invalid.
1t was gift of love untamted by
any selfish consideration, one of those
simple deeds that speak louder than
all the solicitude Of the nation. 1t
was a tribute to the Executive, ill
within the sick room, that his affee-
ton for little folk had brought from
the small maidens their only means of
indicating how concerned they were
about him. 1t was not the fact that
it was the President who was lying
there that drew them. Children
know their friends and place their
values upon soul qualities rather than
on the worlds estimate of worth. The
affections of child cannot be bought
by spurious coin.
And when the breath of President
Warren G. Harding left his body the
last sigh mingled with the perfume
of the love offerings of his little
friends II was n hanntiful pndin,e to
a great life, a reaffirmation of the
deep truth that except We become as
little. children, We cannot enter the
Kingdom of Heaven. State Gazette.
