the duty Of good citizens in the event
OF war. At one extreme there Is the
cold. intellectual view that lacks
heart and human feeling. It Is a
mistake to philosophize too much
about the state. to reduce patriotism
to the plane where reason alone holds
sway. To take away from boys and
sirls enthusiasm for country, the
stirring of the heart at the passing
of the nag. the glow that comes
from stories OF the nations heroes, to
impoverish the rich setting Of q ma
TONS story-all this Is sure to make
for anemic citizenship. Moreover.
the pacificist 10 as great q sentiment
taiist as the jinge. For example. the
vicious attempt that is being made
to induce men to agree that they
will never support their country in
time Of war Is not only treason but
displays muddleheaded thinking.
Advocates Of such a policy base their
argument of doubt on humanitarian
grounds; but unless their scheme
were to be adopted simultaneously
and by all nations it might well lead
to the defeat Of the objects they seek
TO attain-peace and justice. On the
other hand. the blatant patriotism Of

reason. A country like an indlvid-
ual may sometimes be in the wrong.
There is no lack of loyalty in believ-
ing, to cite recent instance that
Congress in its action on the ex-
ciusion of the Japanese has made a
terrible mistake. Nor does a proper
patriotism strive to cover up acts of
dishonesty and administration in
lublic office by the comfortable doc
Urine that things might be worse.
Content with things as they are is a
sign neither OF a sound mind nor q
sound heart. A sentence from some
resolutions recently adopted by an
English conference Of liberal church
inen gives food for thought:
And in the materialistic conception
of life that does not take God in ac-
count there Is grave menace not only
on moral but on intellectual ground.
For there can be no human progress
without belief. Education without
religion. reform without faith, pa
triotism without God lead to mater
ialism and selfish exploitation of
others and jingoism. Apart from
the religious motive there can be no
high service. Let us eat and drink.
for tomorrow we die" And IL we con-
tent ourselves with supplying ma
terial wants only. we are of all men
the most miserable. That is one
trouble with so much humanitarian
work that is being carried on today.
In many of our present agencies for
organized charity and relief we have
abundance of machinery and MONEY;
but not always the human sympathy
and personal contact that is so nee
essary to the full performance Of
duty. Sometimes it seems that we
are most interested in theory than in
practice; in organization than in
personal responsibility; in the ma
chinery than In the man. 1t may we'll
pc that we should return to the more
sympathetic, more intimate practises
of simpler times.

 Stop that. Self-pity is bad for you. You take yourself much too seriously. What does rug or a curtain or saucepan mean measured against your health and strength and good looks, not to mention peace of mind and the happiness of your family?

Home Nursing
Relaxation

ANCE upon a time there was a wom- O an who believed herself to be the busiest woman in the world. She was quite sure that no other woman had the trials and tribulations that were hers. Her children were just a little more careless, untidy and ungrateful, her husband little more absent-mind- ed and her wash woman little more unsatisfactory than herself. So she said.
 She never slept wink until every one else in the house was in bed. She heard every blind that fluttered, every window that rattled in the night. The fact that she never got a decent nights sleep (according to herself) may have had something to do with it. At any rate the poor woman was very sorry for herself, very unhappy and a little inclined to make her family miserable by petty tyranny.
 Then her sister, very opposite in ev- cry way, came to see her.
 Mary Arnold, the woman of the story was very thin and nervous, irritable and peevish, and always too busy to do the things she wanted to. She com plained and sighed and felt so sorry for herself that before her sister, Maude Green, had been in the house a day she recognized the need of mission ary work.
 One afternoon MaGde said, My dear, don't you ever relax-just rest and enjoy life?
 Mary Arnold snapped: "I never have time to rest or relax with four children coming in from school every afternoon just when I get my work done, with dinner to get and all the mending there is in this house-and servants so unsatisfactory
 Maude Green put up a plump pro- testing hand.
 Please don't!" she begged. "I don't believe you ever try. You don't know how to relax. You don't know how much good it would do you.
 You nag the children and scold at Bob and make yourself unhappy thinking you are abused and unap- preciated. As matter of fact you are undermining your health and forgetting what you owe yourself. All your un- happiness is chiefly your own fault"
 Her sister stared unhappily at her. She was watering the fern. straight ming the edge of curtain and batting | sofa cushion, instead of sitting down a chair and resting.
 "Stop fussing. You are getting old tnd ugly because you are using your Nerves and muscles all the time"

 He waved his arm toward the kitchen window sill, which looked as though there had been an explosion in creamery and the debris had landed right there. There was a long row of things-a quart bottle of milk, a pint bottle of milk. half-pint bottle of cream and a quarter pint of cream; bottle of whipping cream, a quart of buttermilk a quart of sour milk, a pound of butter a package of cottage cheese and box of strictly fresh eggs.
