TRY THIS TO BANISH ALL RHEUMATIC PAINS People who liave been tormented for yenra—yes, even so crippled that they were unable to help themselves —have been brought back to robust health through the mighty power of Kheuma. Rheuma acts with speed; it brings In a few days the relief you have prayed for. It antagonizes the poisons that cause agony and pain In the joints and muscles and quickly the torturing soreness completely disappears. It is a harmless remedy, but sure and certain, because it is one dis covery that has forced rheumatism and sciatica to yield and disappear. Try a 50-cent bottle of Rheuma and If you do not get the Joyful relief you expect, your money will be returned. H. C.

SERVICE AND EFFICIENCY TO LOSE "Do Something Quick and Do It Right—That's Effi ciency. "Do Something For Some body Quick and Do It Right —That's Service By MRS. WILSON WOODROW "There are just two big words in the world to-day. They are up in great electric letters over our playhouse, the Earth. Just two words, Service and Efficiency." I was speaking to Lueile. "Come, that's not worthy of you," she replied. "You know you don't have lo rely on catch-words." Lucile is one of those gifted, capable women who combine with their ca pacity rather more than their lair share of charm. If she has a pose, it is one of lazy indifference. She can af ford it, for she is really a hard-work ing, successful interior decorator. "It's not my fault if they're catch words," I retorted. "I know they are overworked by faddists and 'earnest thinkers.' But what of it? There never was a word or a phrase that expressed a vital idea that wasn't caught tip by triflers. Is that any reason why live men and women should discard them? "Do something quick and do it right—that's Efficiency. "Do something for somebody quick, and do it right—that's Service. A Woman Now-a-Days Must Be a Worker or a "Slacker" "The men and women who wish to stay alive," I continued, "have got to learn to spell those two words and practise what they stand for. Other wise, they might just as well climb into their coffins and fold their pale hands over their placid breasts, for they are, as dead as they ever will be. "A woman nowadays has got to be a worker or a 'slacker'—another catch-word, if you please. And by the way, the readiness, to apply it to shift less, pretty women is another proof tljat the age of chivalry is past. 'Slack er' is a label for the woman who fails to 'do her bit' as well as for the man who fails to do his." "Oh, it's all so 'real and earnest,' " interrupted Lucile lazily. "I think I'd like nothing better than to go to sleep and wako up in those early-Victorian times when everything was all settled forever and ever. Everybody believed in Hell, and the Atomic Theory, and woman's intellectual inferiority and spiritual superiority, and the Italian operas as the last word in music. And Tennyson threatened the established order of things by saying: " 'There is more faith in honest doubt, Believe me, than in half the creeds." "But that world has vanished as completely as the 'Lost Atlantis,' " 1 argued. "We're living in an entirely different one—the World of Work. It sounds dull. Our brains are so clogged up with old ideas and traditions that we haven't begun to realize that to be the citizens of this wonderful new world is the hall-mark of distinction, the speecial privilege of the high gods. It's more; it's a new and thrilling ad venture, the most absorbing and fas cinating game there is. "Every normal man and woman loves work, but we hate drudgery. And it is natural and human and right to hate drudgery. Drudgery is the miry road through the swamp of muddle. Work is the motor track along the Milky Way, with the stars swing ing in festoons about us." "There are millions of people work ing," said Euclle, "and only about one per cent, of them are doing congenial work. The rest of them are toiling simply to live." "That is where Efficiency applies," I put in eagerly. "I know it is a word that women especially shudder over. It means to many of them a soulless, mechanical method of shaving seconds so that an Efficiency Boss can get ten minutes more work an hour out of you. Then, too, the consciously effi cient people are apt to be so irritating, so competent and dead-sure they are always right. Nevertheless, Efficiency means just the difference between do ing your work by hand and using ma chinery." "But," objected Mary, who had been listening to the argument as an innocent bystander, "I love to cook, and I know how intuitively and a'.so by training. By the same token, I hate to sew. No matter how hard ,1 tried, I could never be an efficient seam stress." "Yes, you could," insisted I.<ucile. "It is simply a case of X plus." She is a born mathematician. "You tem porarily subtract all the natural en thusiasm and interest and concentra tion you now give to your cooking and add it to your sewing. Then you would have the same result." "But"—Mary shook her head — "the effort would be cold and me chanical, a mere determination of the will. Can you get any real accom plishment in that way?" "Personally I believe that you can," I contended. I maintain that you can't throw yourself heart and soul into anything even if it's just by will power, and not arouse in yourself a genuine enthusiasm for what you are doing. "And suppose," I went on, "you are not merely working for yourself, but for some one else? You don't for in stance, want to be a thoroughly ef ficient saleswoman just for your own glory. There's a pride and satisfaction in adding to the standing and prestige of the business house with which you are connected. "So whether you are a seamstress or a woman of wealth, busy with all kinds of plans for the happiness and betterment of others, whose material comfort is not go great as yours, or whether you are a cook, or a sales woman, or in an office, or the mistress of a household, or whatever your job in life may be, it is a joy to feel that in doing your work efficiently you've done your part in maintaining the | HAJRRISBURG TFXEGI APH beautiful order and Tightness of the universe." "Theoretically at least," said Qu elle. "I suppose most of us agree that the one big satisfaction of life lies in 'doing one's bit' to the extent of one's ability." "Anyway," X urged, "Efficiency cer tainly eliminates drudgery—that ugly dreary, depressing factor in our lives; for, through Klflciency, we become ex perts, and to be an expert is to com mand the highest prices lor our work. And if that doesn't add to the zest of life I'd like to know what does. "No," I summed up. "Efficiency is not a cold, utilitarian word to make life heavier and more mechanical and harder to bear, but a word full of the color and romance and drama of achievement. "Service follows naturally in order. We've been taught so long to link it with that grim tyrant of a word, Duty, that we sigh and look serious when we see it coining our way. We admit thai Service Is an angel, but It's a very dingy angel indeed. More often than not, it appears an impertinent med dler, reaching out to lay its insensi tive and officious fingers upon other lives. "No one of course, takes any pleas ure in doing things just for one's self. It's like stuffing a doll with saw dust, and about as exciting.

DODGED DOC FOlt YEARS Thomas Street, of Spokane, Wash., is 98 years old and his only call' upon the services of a doctor was a couple of years ago when he fell out of an apple tree and broke a leg', says the Spokane Chronicle. Mr. Street is hale and hearty. Practically his whole life has been spent on the farm. He was born in Kugland and came to America in 1854. "Certainly I expect to Jive to be a hundred. Why shouldn't 1? I never felt better In my life," says Mr. Street. The fall which brought his first experience with the doctor was the result of climbing a tree to put up a birdliouse for some of the chil dren in his neighborhood. He stepped on a. dead limb. Then came the doctor. His fractured bone is now as good as new, according to his own word. APRIL 12, 1917. School Notes CENTR A I.
