things taste better there than at
home.-Mrs. II. s. l..
Sometimes the very things that con-
tribute to the attractiveness of
simple table are so simple as to be
overlooked. Here are some sugges-
tions:
/. See that the dining table itself,
even though it may be of the plainest
wood. is rubbed free from all sticki-
ness and dust.
, Economize on quality if neces-
gpotlesSly clean. Pretty runners OF
gray crash, embroidered at the ends
or even plain. are easier to keep clean
than long cloths, and they add a
touch of distinction to the breakfast
or luncheon table.
3. Do not be unhappy If you can
not have expensive china and glass.
An ample stock of pretty blue and
white ware from the 10-cent store is
better than one or two costly pieces
and a general supply that is Clipped
and cracked.

Cane Sugar

Any one who has made even a cur
sorry study of diet matters knows that
our popular cane sugar represents
but one of several sources from which
sugar may be obtained. The fact that
our largest consumption is related to
cane sugar, however, makes 1t i'm

about this foodstuff that is almost

so eminent an authority as Henry
c. sherman of Columbia University

short time that cane sugar has been

Perhaps cane sugar is one of the
very best examples of what DR.. Sher-
man calls a one-sided food. -
The fact that it is almost pure car

rourishing food; but the student of
foods knows that these very qualities
make it a dangerous food. The eat
ing of large quantities of sugar
quickly unbalances the diet, as food
authorities show: nor is this all;
sugar replaces some of the very sub

machinery running on full time.

Danny Meadow Mouse.
Danny Meadow Mouse was feeling
more and more at home. There were
so many wonderful things to see that
most of the time he forgot he was
lonesome. In fact, the only times he
really felt lonesome were when he
curled up for his maps. He saw
Mocker the Mockingbird often and
still more often heard him singing.
Almost every day he saw Hummer the
Hummingbird. These glimpses OF old
friends made the Sunny South seem
less strange than 1t would have 9TH
erwise.
Danny had kept away from the
bank Of the river since the day when
he made the acquaintance of Gator
the Alligator. 1t made him shiver
every time he thought Of that mouth
full of great teeth he had seen. But
he had learned that Gator was not to
be feared on land unless one came too
near him. So one morning he again
yentured over to the bank of the
river.

just as he had seen Longlegs the
Great Blue Heron standing on the
edge of the Smiling Pool so many
times. was bird, who at first Danny
thought must be Longlegs himself

was snowy white. Yes, sir, il was
snowy white. Danny was almost on
the point OF asking the stranger If
he were not Longlegs when he no
ticed that this bird was not quite as
big as Longlegs.

CHRONIC INVALIDISM
BY H. Arlington Bruce


TN HE influence exercised by the mind over
the body is never more strkingly re-
Yealed than in the sad condition known !
as chronic inValidiSm. .t,s
Invalidism of prolonged sort may result
from any of numerous causes. Whatever the
cause it is intensified lightened by the af~t.
ficted persons mental attitude. In a large
proportion of cases an unfavorable mental .
attitude is itself responsible for the invalid-
ism that persists. crra
In such cases changing of the mental at+ls
titude would be enough to effect return to-
health. This although the invalidism may >
seemingly be so profound as to compel sick~
bed or Wheel-chair existence.
Thus it has frequently happened that par
alytics under the impulse of sudden fright
have recovered the power of motion they hadr
thought forever, lost. In such instances the.
loss itself was due to their firm belief that
they were hopelessly paralyzed -
The fright, by the force Off It's appeal to !
the instinct of self-preservation, proved to,
them the falsty of this belief. Thereafter
simply because a new direction had been given Il
to their thinking, paralysis no longer held
them captive. . Z
In like manner much chronic invalidis1
results from false beliefs regarding the press
ence of heart disease stomach trouble and y
forth. To surrender to such beliefs is ojt-
self potent for the production of i
heart stomach symptoms thereby givingn'
SEEMING confirmation to the false beliefs and
rendering the invalid more of an invalid than !
ever. 1897:
On the opposite there are not few per-!
sons who, suffering from actual disease OF "a
the heart, stomach, some other organ,
contriVe to evade invalidism by the serenity !
with which they meet the situation imposed
on them oo,2r-
They do not go to the rash extreme of de-E
nying that they are i'll. But neither do theyn
fall into the mistake of brooding over their
malady. Adopting a sensible course as re-
CARDS rest, diet and other measures pre7
scribed by their medical advisers, they turn
their thoughts away from themselves and pe~gr
main happily active to the good Of other peo-@
pie and their great good. ~
And even when conditions make invalid 81
ism unavoidable the mental attitude still 4
counts for much. "in
If the attitude is of bitterness and reA's
bellon and self-pity. the disease processsS s
giving rise to the invalidism will rapidly gain
in severity. They will in some degree Ra-r
checked by a philosophic attitude and aboyes
ALL an attitude of confidence and hope. ~ Ar
In certain cases of unavoidable chronic In =
validism-notably the chronic invalidism or -
observation-disclosures, hope and phio7ss,
sophie acquiescence may directly lead in the :.
end to recovery of health. seoal
So true is this that specialists in the treat
ment of tuberculosis direct their patients
above all things to keeping their patients
courageous "Be brave, fight it out, don't
let depression down you," is their constant u
urging. They know from long experience, 9
that once the morale is broken the likelihood =
of cure becomes remote.
