The memory of the war days is fad
ing from the mind Of the world. The
100000 dead lie in their graves, but
life goes marching on. Self-preserva-
ton, vital interests, new and exciting
problems, the human whirligig, are too
absorbing for continual bark back to
the thought of that mortality. We are
no longer conscious of any gap in the
ranks of youth, torn out by the ma
chinery of destruction. We do not
realize the loss of all that spirit.
genius, activity and blood, except in
private remembrance of some dead
boy whose portrait in uniform stands
on the mantelshelf, Sir Philip Gibbs
writes in Golfers.
A new generation of youth has
grown up since the beginning of the
war. Boys of ten at that time OF his

were twelve are now mothers of babes.

youth is right. 1t is not in it's nature
nor in moral health to dwell on morbid
memories. But it is hard on those
whose service is forgotten-so soon.
In England-ten years after-there
are still $4,000 wounded soldiers in the
hospitals-and in France great num-
bers more; but they are hidden away,
as a painful secret of things that hap
pened. Only now and again the sight
of their hospital blue in some quiet
country lane, near their hiding places,
shocks one with sharp stab Of re-
morse.
We had forgotten all that. We hate
to be reminded of 1t.
Even the men who fought through
those years seldom speak of their ex-
perience. 1t is fading out of their own
minds, though it seemed unforgettable.
They are forgetting the names of the
villages in France and Flanders.

Too Many Cannot See
Finer Aspects of Life

One autumn evening at sunset two
men were lettering on the picturesque
old bridge at Battersea, England. One
of them was writer, Woodworking
but unsuccessful.
The river was at low stage, at
least three-quarters ebb, and on each
side of it there were patches of shin
ing mud that reflected the glorious
western sky, (which turned the ooze
into mass of wonderful colors.
Though the writer was hungry, he
forgot his hunger as he stood there
watching. He was pleased to see the
other man also watching.
Presently the other man edged a
little closer to the writer and re-
marked, Throws up cap of mud,
don't she?"
1t was not the sunset that he was
seeing, but the mud. The glory that
was thrilling one was lost on the
other.
The world is there in those two men.
They are representative; the whole
world might be ranged behind one or
the other-those who see the mud and
those who see the glory. In life ev-
erything depends on the eyes we look
with, and it is worth while to sacrifice
almost all else If we may only get the

THE CRYING BABY

THE subject is large and impor-
= tant one and appeals to almost
every mother who looks after her chill
dren herself, as every mother ought to
do, If she can. Upon the way this SUBJ
ject is treated, much depends as to
the future welfare of each individual
baby.
There are many things which must
first be excluded before one decides
how a crying baby is to be treated. in
any given case, and in oil cases pa

must be practiced to the very limit of
your endurance, and then some more.
Exclude, first of all, as cause for
crying, pain-for babies have feelings

just like other folks, whether from
safety pins, tight clothing or stomach

OF course you must find out whether
the crying is due to these. or to any
other removable cause.
Then there is the matter of dispo-
sition; a baby whose mother was fret

1t is born so, 1t can't help it, and the
only thing mother can do is to be
patient and pitiful.
But child may also inherit bad
temper from one or both parents, and
cry and cry from sheer ugliness.
With a little study and discrimina-
ton it becomes very easy to differenti-
ate willful, angry cry from a cry of
pain.
Even then, don't get angry If you
can help it, neither allow your sympa-
thy and love to overcome your judy
ment.
Sometimes a judicious, remember
judicious, use of the hand or slipper,

and 1t may be surprising how quickly,
under such treatment, the baby will
learn and appreciate who is master or
mistress of the household.
If you can stand the annoyance,
and 1t is not too much of an imposi-
ton on your neighbors, it would be
better for the baby to keep on crying
until she is tired out and then goes to
sleep, than to give in to her.
You won't have to go through the
experience many times, and if you
give up to her you may have to do 1t
for an indefinite period.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
EARRINGS FOR WEAK
EYES

ITO CURE sore eyes or strengthen
L weak eyes wear a little, round,
gold earring in the pierced lobe of the

cent date this superstition was uni
versal in the United States. 1t still
exists in some parts of the country
and especially holds its own among
sailors of the old school. AS women.
with intervals of abstentation decreed
by fashion, are accustomed to wear
earrings for the sake of ornamental
ton, it is to men that the superstition
principally applies as curative proc
ess.
This superstition had its origin In
the strong belief of the ancients in the
power of the senses to convey actual,
tangible effects to the body. The SUI
perstition of the evil eye is an example
of what it was believed the power
of sight could do and there was, also,
a belief in the power of conveyance
resident i'll the sense of hearing. Many
myths show that the ear was regard
ed as a portal through which might
enter the vital principle conveyed by
the sense of hearing.
The crocodile cult of Egypt is a
notable example. The crocodile was
worshiped as sun-god at Sebek and
from most ancient times it's image has
been regarded as charm against the
evil eye. AS the sense of sight, through
the evil eye, was the spiritual con-
veyer of mortal ills, so the sense of
hearing was, in general, regarded as
the conveyer of beneficenti and vitaliz-
ing influences. Sore eyes and weak
eyes were regarded as the results of a
glance from the evil eye. Herodotus

figure hero received his title. Accord
ing to the story, he was put out to
nurse as an infant and when brought
home mucn grown, his mother ex-
claimed, what great carl is this?"
Thus he came to be called Karl in
stead of David. which was his baptis-
mai name.
After the wave Of Karls and Charles
had overspread4 Europe, Carlota made
her appearance in Spain. Carlotta
of Savoy, who married Louix XI Of
France, rendered the name famous.
1t was used by all manner of maids
throughout Spain and when it was
contracted, Lola was considered more
euphonious and more Latin than Lota.
The moonstone is Lola's talismanic
gem. 1t is said to bring her the love
she desires and it is particularly eff
cacious in securing admiration for her.

POOR BELLA DOLL

thought very beautiful when she was
first given to the little girl who had

been carefully wrapped and put in

One day Bella was delighted to be
taken out of the drawer and given to
another little girl to )lay with. "She
was my best DOLL" said the grown-up
lady to the little girl. Her face is
made Of wax, so you must be very

Her eyes opened and closed and the

Early in the morning a big dog

she wished herself safe again in the
