The Satisfaction of Saving.
Among all material pleasures there is
hone so great as that which springs
from a store laid by for future wants,
especially for the needs of those for
whose well being you have become re-
And when you have gath-
ered that store by steadfastly refusing
thriftless self indulgence you have a
satisfaction that outweighs and out-
lasts all fleeting joys. I speak from
my own experience, and 1 can call to
witness the thousands of others who
have traveled the same road.
Strictly speaking, all mere luxury is
waste. But there may be and often is
wanton wastefulness in luxury when
a reasonable indulgence in it might be
justifiable. That is certain to react
most harmfully on soul, mind and body.
¥t is not the accumulation,
waste and misuse of wealth, that
makes men decay.—.Judson Harmon in
Youth’s Companion.
X Poisons In the Stomach.
A most curious fact is that all food
contains the elements of poison, and
in our body poisons are manufactured
from these. For instance, meat, fish,
«cheese and milk are composed of hy-
drogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen.
Take away the last and you have prus
sic acid. We do not manufacture
prussic acid, it is true. But in every
stomach in the world fermentation

you would inevitably die. Sulphuret-
ed hydrogen is one of the most deadly
_gases known, yet in every stomaéh it
is mpde at one time or another. In the
stomach all food is converted into
what we call “peptone,” and ‘if a very
small quantity of this found its way
into the blood it would kill as surely
as prussic acid. -Pearson’s Weekly.
To Waterproof Tents.
Here is the way to waterproof cloth:
Dissolve ten pounds of rosin in four
gallons of hot linseed oil. Pour into
a tub to which a wringer is attached.
Pass the cloth through the hot oil and,
as soon as well soaked, through the
wringer. Spread on fence or ground

immediately until thoroughly dry. Dry- *
ing may take a week or more. This
solution will treat about fifty yards of
cloth.
For waterproofing a tent Nessmuk in
his “Woodcraft” gives this recipe,
which he says is' excellent: To ten
quarts of water add ten ounces of lime
and four ounces of alum. Let it stand
until clear. Fold the cloth or tent snug-
ly and put it into another vessel, pour
the solution in and let it soak for
twelve hours, then rinse in lukewarm
rain water. Stretch and dry in the sun.

Why Japan Cannot Be Starved.
Two of the most interesting sights in
Tokyo are the fish market at Nihom-
bashi and the Mitsukoshi department
store, very near the Billingsgate of
Tokyo. Nihombashi is not only the
geographical center’ ‘of Tokyo, but of
Japan, according to the Japanese, who
ought to know. Here is situated what
is probably the largest fish market in
the world. There is every kind of fish
a man could mention and a few thou-
sand other varieties. Some big fellows
cut up into great steaks, weighing ten
pounds or so, and there are little ones
which would make good minnow bait,
if one could find a hook small enough
not to mangle them. I think that in
certain sections they must use a cham-
ois skin for a fish net and save every-
thing that does not pass: through the
pores. Until the sea dries up around
Japan the islands will hever starve.—

Some medical authorities, explaining

science, but to the increased use: of

house and a clean person no one need
have much fear of infection. A writer
in the New York Medical Record says:
“Soap is now recognized to be anti-
septic and to be eflicacious must pro-
duce a lather. Bacteria rubbed into
soap or dropped on its surface are in-
‘capable of multiplication. The typhoid
bacillus is very sensitive to scap, being
killed by a 5 per cent solution in a

number will die in a minute. The

down germ life.” —Exchange.

dependent on Great Britain for our
supply of crude rubber, as the great
plantations are largely controlled by
British capital. There are several pos-

supply. One is a plant called guayule,
which is even now being successfully
raised in this countfy and which has
been successfully raised in Mexico.
There are several other rubber bearing
plants also which might be raised in
this country. ‘But the largest field

It has long been a moot point whether

man more reckless of his life, therefore
a good soldier. Others say that the
married man lmost a veteran when
he enters the ranks, being inured to

French colonel was once questioned
uporf this point. “Both are right,” said
he. “Look yonder! Do you see that

“Take time to walk—or make time to
walk. The pernicious habit of hopping
on a trolley car to go a block or two
robs many of the necessary health pre-

Walk for health!” .
_ The recommendation is sound, but
why should those who ride in automo-
biles be left out? The inveterate users
of motorcars need to be told to walk
more quite as much as the rest of us.
Nowhere is the riding habit easier to
acquire than where an automobile is at
beck and call. Even the workers who

: Pot and Kettle.
There is a proverb much heard now-
adays that we never could see the sense
of, “The pot can’t call the kettle black.”
Why not, we should like to know? The
kettle is black. It ought to be called
black. Who has a better right to speak
with confidence about the faults of the
kettle than the pot, which has for years
hung on the same crane and inhaled
the same smoke? If thére is ‘anything
that would make the pot seem less
sooty in our eyes it is giving us a clear
reflection of the image of the kettle.
Shall no one point out blackness any-

There is usually great careless-
ness. about disinfecting the spu-
tum of grip victims. The germs
are therefore spread everywhere.
Every care should be taken to
avoid the germs. The bands,
dishes and handkerchiefs of a
grip patient should be carefully
disinfected.
Aged and weak persons should
be guarded with special care
from the germs.
