Nutritive Value of Mineral Matter.

The use Of mineral matter as food
1s a favorite subject Of exploitation.
II you get down to solid facts and ask
what we really know about the nu-
tritive value Of mineral matter T can
assure you that there Is a great deal
more poetry than truth in all that is
printed about this little question of
physiology.
We have as yet but little real knowl-
edge OF the purpose served by mineral
salts or elements in food. Chemistry
Is letting some light into the darkness,
but, alas. chemistry is not an exact
science, only precise. For all Of that,
IL had a son (excuse my groan) I'd
do my best to persuade him to be a
chemist-not a doctor. Raise your
boy to be chemist If you want him
to have a chance to accomplish some
thing for the benefit of mankind. Our
legislatures seldom enact any laws to
istry. Our people do not delight to
employ a charlatan when they require
chemical skill or knowledge. See that
your boy gets all the chemistry they
will give him in school, no matter
what he means to be.
A few facts may be slipped In here
without frightening anybody.
Calcium Uime) salts are essential
to the clotting Of the blood. and If
lacking or, deficient prevent clothing

conditions it seems to be direct cause
Of the trouble.

Tea wagon napery sets are interest
ing when they include not only the
covers for the shelves of the wagon,
but have dolly napkins to match. 1t
matters not whether the set be as
handsome as the purse can afford, or
a simple one for everyday use. The
Matching of the pieces can be stressed,
and it is this that is distinctive.
Many of the tea wagons made today
are Of such handsome wood that 1T is
as necessary to protect the surface or
it as that of a beautiful dining table.
No one would think of letting the
latter suffer from contact with hard
plates and hot ones. Doilies or mats
of some sort are always expected.
So it is for practical purpose as
well as for variety and ornament that
tea wagon sets are coming into vogue.
The cover is made the size of the top
of a tea wagon and has many possi-
bilities as to its style. If a tea wagon
has an upper and lower shelf, two
covers should be made.
Italian Stitehery.
For fine sets there is nothing as high
In favor at present as Italian drawn
work or embroidery for ornamental
ton. Many of the new covers have
both these kinds of stitchery used on
each piece. These are costly to buy,
but for the decorative results they do
not take over-long to make, and the
cost depends on the quality of the
linen and the embroidery hanks. These
sets are among the treasured gifts for
weddings and Christmas. Round
thread linen is recommended, which
may be heavy or light in weight, but
il should be fine.
Cross stitchery is another good style
of work to put on tea wagon sets.
This is too familiar to every needle
woman for it to be dwelt on at length,
except in the matter of color. It is

There are some designs that work out

Patchwork.
Patchwork applique is effective and
can be de luxe if carried out in the
latest fashion. One set saw recently
deep blue of cerulean tint rather than
navy. The latter should be avoided.
1t does not suit napery, while an old
or a soft but rich cerulean blue is
admirable. The covers had very fine
white linen flowers appliqued onto the
corners of the napkins, and of the
cover. / think the edges were rolled,
for no turned-in portion showed, and
yet the tint Of the blue slightly toned
the whiteness of the applique. A few
white linen leaves were used with the
flowers, one being in each napkin

WHAT IS THE CHURCH?

There is only one church, of which every true believer in Christ is a member, regardless of color race, or or sect.
 None can join it by any act or will of their own. John 1:12-12. The Lord adds to it such as should be saved Acts 2:47.
 Outwordly, today the protesting church is divided into many schioms, Isects and organizations of men, among whom the unbelieving world is mixed to such an extent that it has become difficult to discern the true Christians from the professors and hypocrites, taking refuge in their midst under the cloak of religion.
 Nevertheless amongst it all there is the true church of God. Those whose names are recorded in the book of life, who are joined together by one spirit into that one body of which Christ is the head. Eph. 1922 23.
 The return of the Lord alone will reveal the true members of his church. l Thes. 4:16 Thes. 1:7-S.
