BEIIING J GOLf Enthusiast Gives Up a Little Dis sertation. Effect of Lecture, However, Is Some what Spoiled by Admission Which Is Made in the Concluding Paragraph. By WALTER PRICHARD EATON. Man is a betting animal. Apparently betting is a. deep-rooted instinct, for jnanv men have been known to bet who were never taught that it is wrong. When a New Englander bets, of course, It is easy to understand, for he has been taught from childhood that gam bling is the eighth deadly sin, which naturally makes it attractive. (It is a high tribute to the ethical ingenuity of the Puritan mind that the grab bag at the church fair has always been ex empt.) We can well remember our own thrill of wickedness when, at the age of twelve, we wngered a dollar on the Harvard football team. Our satisfac tion was somewhat diminished after the game, for that was before the days of Charlie Briclcley. Many men bet, however, without even the Incentive of committing a sin. They bet when they haven't the slight est pleasant twinge of conscience. They bet not even to make money, but Just for the sake of betting. They bet on a ball game, a horse race, the day’s run of a steamer—on anything which has the element of chance about it. We once knew of an automobile party who made a pool on the number of Ford cars they would meet in a day—and they missed all the scenery they were touring to enjoy. But nowhere is betting carried to such an extreme at the present time as on the golf links. Serious writers (and most golf writers are very seri ous) have called it "the menace of the game." A certain well-known club near New York, which has many members from Wall street, has been forced to adopt a rule against it, whether from ethical grounds or because the four somes delayed play by reckoning up their complicated accounts on the greens, we cannot say. It has been stated that sums as high as $0,000 used to be wagered on a single game, even a single shot. Fancy facing a water carry of 160 yards with $6,000 depend ing on your stroke! Would you press, or wouldn't you? It is bad enough for some of us to know that the price of the ball depends on that stroke! We were playing the ojf er day in a foursome, which deservdd the name r .... ■■■ . > the old judge used in Barrie’s play, "i i fearsome,” Two of the players wen brokers. Between holes they talke* stocks. On the teps, they laid bets. ‘‘Give me a stroke on this hole, foi five balls?” one would say to the other "You're on.” i If one or the other got into troubk I and saw he had no chance, he picked up without more to-do, and began tc plan how ho could win something back on the next hole. The pair ended thf match with one owing the other a gin ger ale, and their scores were so bad that we will not mention them. The funny part of it all was that both of them really fancied they had been playing golf, and they actually had enjoyed themselves. Now of course they hadn’t been playing golf any moro than the man who pokes around "because it keeps him out in the open air" or "gives him exercise.” There is only one valid reason for play ing golf, or any other real game—and that is, a desire to solve as far as possiblo the problems of that game, and match your muscular control and skill against the control and skill of another. The man who picks up in a bunker because he sees he can't! win a bet by playing out hasn’t the first faint spark of g<fif understanding1 in his soul. He is not a golfer, he is, a gambler. The real golfer plays out,1 not because he has any chance of win-! ning that hole, but because every shot^ is practice, and the game demands of; its true disciples a completed card.1 The more betters you have in your; club, the fewer first-class players wllh you have. We had intended here to add some thing about the bad effect betting has on the caddies, but wo haven't time.' We’ve got to hurry down to the links and play off a match with an old ad-! veraary, fr.r a ball a hole. (Copyright, 1915, by W. O. Chapman.)

The same thought should be given to building our own body and brain—but few give it. This building process requires certain essential food elements which, within the body, are converted into the kind of brain, bone, nerve and muscle capable of enduring the severe tests of work and time. Grape-Nuts FOOD is sc.entifically made of whole wheat and malted barley, and supplies, in splendid proportion, all the nutritive values of the grains, including their vital mineral salts, which are all-important for life and health, but lacking in much of the food that goes to make up the ordinary diet.

Saloniki the Metropolis Of Balkan Commerce j t—--------A IFrom the London Times. "They came to Thessaloniea, where was a synagog of the Jews. And Paul, as his manner was, went In unto them, and three Sabbath days reasoned with them out of tho scriptures." So the author of the Acts of the Apos tles informs us, and adds that St. Paul's stay at Thessaloniea was troublous and t untimely terminated. That the apostle's labors were nevertheless not unfruitful, the epistles to tho Thessalonians exist to testify. Much is the first appearance of i Salonikl In the history of tho world, j Even In 8t. Paul’s day it was already j three centuries old and a place of im j portance. The Romans, who organized the Balkan peninsula better than any of its owners before or since, drove a road across from west to east, uniting Durazzo on the Adriatic with Salonikl on the Aegean. From that time onward Salonikl has been the great depot of Balkan commerce. You need little ac quaintance with the Balkans to under stand the causes of this preeminence. Between Constantinople and the Piraeus there Is no harbor which could be a rival. Salonikl stands close to one of the most fertile districts of the Balkans, the tobacco country about Drama and Serres. Focus of Balkan Railways. It possesses natural lines of communi cation up the radiating valleys of the Struma, the Vardar and its tributaries to the heart of the peninsula. Once a focus of highways, It Is now a focus of railways. One, having tapped the to bacco country nnd tho valley of the Stru ma, runs along the coast to Constanti nople. Another, of supreme Importance in this war, passed up the Vardar valley to Nish nnd Belgrade, and thus forms the main artery of Serbia’s strength. A third penetrates Into Macedonia as far as Monastic. But It Is primarily upon Its harbor that the Importance of Salonikl de pends. Your steamer, passing out of the Aegean, enters a ~ulf some 50 miles wide. Slowly the land approaches on either bow, and you see to starboard a green, wooded, undulating country, with a host of windmills rising on the sky line, In evidence of Its fertility. This is the historic peninsula of Chalcidlce. To port rise the mountains of Thes saly, first Pelion, then Ossa, and at the head of the gulf a great mass, snow capped, piercing the clouds, lofty Olym pus Itself, tho home of the Immortal gods. Among Groves of Cypresses. Salonikl rises before you In a half cir cle, a white city, studded with minaret nnd dome, gleaming In a singularly lu cid air, its whiteness all the more reful gent for the dark groves of cypress set here and there among the houses. At the end of so deep an inlet anchorage is nat urally good, but in tho last years of t' e Nineteenth century great harbors works were constructed. The modern port is a parallelogram protected by a breakwa ter 600 yards long, nnd two piers of 200 yards each. ECONOMIZING IN SERVANTS (Copyright, 1915, bv the McClure News paper Syndicate). As far as our own comfort Is con cerned, most of us are not much af fected by the groat European war. Now and then we find thut it touches '!s—-imported luces, for instance are harder to get than they used to be, and household linen is more expensive. Then, too, the best class of butlers, footmen and chauffeurs have left for Europe—butlers and footmen, anyway, but perhaps the American chauffeurs left are the equals of the foreign ones vho have gone. For running an auto mobile is a job that American men Mke. Whether or not we keep a butler and footman, tile servant problem is constantly growing more complicated. In many industrial towns, the women servants leave domestic service to work in the factories. Wages demanded are higher—and going higher still. In some places servants are voicing defi nite demands in the way of hours, rates of pay, and the kind of work they will do. There is no reason why servants should not demand better treatment than they have been used to rcelv ing, and higher wages, too, for that matter. Hut the whole situation makes a difficulty for the woman who has only a small allowance for domestic service. She cannot afford a really ex perienced servant, often she cannot get a "green" one because the unskilled worker goes to the factory. What is she to do? Usually she longs for the time when cooperative housekeeping shall have been developed to such an extent that all she will need to do will be to push a button when she wants dinner put on the table—and dinnor will marvel ously appear from some wonderfully efficient central kitchen. She knows this time is fur away—but she longs for it, just the same. In the meantime, when the servant leaves, she tries to give both babies a bath, their supper, put them to bed, get dinner, chunge her frock, answer the telephone, receive a caller, and be in a charmingly agree able state of mind and appearance when her tired husband comes home. It can't be done, of course. Now even in this day it is quite pos sible to economize in servants. It is possible, very often, to hire a servant with the understanding that she is to work for several families. For Instance a very competent nurse maid, com manding a highly competent nurse maid’s salary, might be hired with the understanding that every afternoon she should take charge of the children of three or four families. Her salary, divided by four, would be quite small, and the housekeeper who gave her board and lodging would be entitled to her services outside the hours when stie took charge of the neighborhood children. Then, too, often two or three famil ies could divide up the services of a general housework maid. Of course, she could be asked to do only as much work as she would normally do for one family. Hut she could give an hour to each of three, dusting, making beds, brushing rugs with a carpet sweeper and dusting floors with a dustlcss mop every morning. In the afternoon she could divide her time preparing dinner in the three houses, perhaps, or being on duty to receive callers and servo tea. Of course, the willingness of the servant In question would have to be obtained. And each housekeeper would still have to do much of the work In her own home—in the arrangement suggested, she would have to get breakfast and luncheon, for instnnee, and sSrve dinner without a maid. Oth er arrangements, of course, could be worked out. And the maid ought to find this sort of specialized work more higher than usual, too, for divided one house. Farm That Waa Made to Pay. From the U. S. Agriculture Bulletin. A significant Instance of what proper methods of farm management can ac complish is afforded by a certain 500 acre farm in central Michigan. For 10 rears thie farm failed to pay Interest The quays are of great width, and, thanks to the enterprise of a British con sul general, paved and drained with a perfection rare In the Levant. They are lined with large modern buildings, and be hind, the streets, wider thgn Is usual In the east, climb, by natural ravines, to the old citadel of the Seven Towers. The houses are. In great part, wooden and di lapidated, but among them you find mag» niflcent relics of the past, here a massive Roman arch, there a solemn and stately Byzantine church, with round arches on marble columns, crowned by rich mo saic. Norman and Saracen, and Venetian, too, have left their mark on the streets of Thessalonlea, and the modern quarter, with Its banks and Its warehouses, and Its electric trams, Is oddly placed beside this medley of the past. Home of Many Races. The population, too, seems to the strang er a tableau vlvant of the confused, eventful history of the city. There Is no place in Europe where you may see a greater variety of race, richer confusion of picturesque costume. As in St. Paul's day, Salonlkl has many Jewish inhabi tants— 80,000, perhaps, out of a total of 160,000 profess Hebrew faith. But they are Jews who wear the gaberdine or the robes of the Fifteenth century, Jews who In this Greek city speak a dialect of Spanish. They are the descendants of a colony who fled the tortures of the Inquisition In Spain and Portugal to the gentler rule of the Turk. Among them you find Al banians in their kilted costume, sturdy squat Bulgarians, Armenians and, after the Jews, the most numerous, busy Greeks. Some 40,000 of the population are Greek In blood and feeling, a number vastly greater than that of any other Bal kan element In the city. In the settlement after the recent Bal kan wars Greece had this claim to Salon lkl, besides the right of possession. It will he remembered that by an extraor dinarily rapid advance the Greek army obtained possession of the city just In time to turn back the udvance guard of the Bulgarians. Its Strategic Value Great. This event, It Is understood, caused dis may not only at Sofia, but at Vienna, which had long contemplated Salonlkl with a covetousness hardly concealed. The Young Turks also were at least as much concerned for the loss of Salonikl as for any other of their disasters. Salonlkl and Its secret societies were the hotbed in which the Young Turk revolution was forced into Us unhealthy life, and Enver and his friends have a peculiar Interest In the place. Besides Its commercial Importance, Sa lonlkl has great strategic value. No oth er port In the Aegean, except, of course, the Piraeus, offers facilities for landing troops which can be compared to those on the quays of Salonlkl. Its climate Is singularly healthy, and against any at tack from land the town Is defended by a great chain of lakes. on the capital invested. One year after the owners had been induced to make certain radical changes the farm paid all the expenses of operation and re turned them G per cent on an invest ment of $6,000. The changes which accomplished this financial revolution were as follows: (1) Four-horse machinery was sub stituted for two-horse. (2) The unprofitable cows In the dairy herd were weeded out and sold and the money received for them in vested in better stock. (3) A silo was built. (4) The foreman was allowed, in ad dition to his salary, 10 per cent of the net income from the farm. The ex penses of operating the farm, but not the interest on the capital, were de ducted from the Income before the fore man received his percentage. It was this last suggestion which met with the most opposition from the own ers of the farm, but when it was pointed out to them that for every dollar the foreman got under such an arrangemen they would get $9 they yielded. The Fighting Bulgar. From the London Daily Sketch. The Bulgar as a fighting man ranks high in the soldiery of Europe. Tall, yet compactly built, Inured by out door life to , all changes of climate he can probably face a winter’s campaign better than any I soldier in Europe. He Is well disciplined and obedient to his officers. The Bulgar infantry simply love a bay onet charge. They strip themselves of equipment, even tunics, and, shouting "Nanosh!" (“the knife”) leap upon the enemy. The Bulgars are happy then. In the last war the Bulgarian artillery was not good. The biggest guns were nine inch Krupps and some of the six-inch to eight-inch Creusots at the siege of Adrian opel were 20 years old. The cavalry, as I knew it, was Inferior. There were few horses. Mostly small ponies were used, and these not of the best and not well handled. Their riders would work them to exhaustion and leave them to die by the wayside. I have seen roads strewn for miles with spent ponies, which expired in the most terrible circum stances. The Bulgarian soldier costs little to feed. Generally be eats a soup mode of mut ton, with an enormous proportion of fat, and seasoned with quantities of red pep per. Another menu is sour milk and black bread. He can Invariably cook bis own food. An officer will live well on 80 centimes a day. The Bulgar in war is well supported by his ■womenfolk. The wife never sheds a tear, for she rarely cries. She is as Spar tan as he. In the last year there was practically no work to whicli women did not turn their hands. When a statlonmaster joined the colors his wife donned uniform and quiet- I ly took control of the station, and things i wont on smoothly. During the year ondng last July 808 persons in the United Kingdom were sentenced to penal servitude, against S81 in the previous year.

The population of Riga has not been seriously disturbed, the city having about as many inhabitants as at the beginning of the war, since many refu gees have gathered there from the Bal tic districts occupied by the Germans, but 400 factories, of which 80 belong to German subjects, have been trans planted to interior provinces. Dtiring the evacuation period from 150 to 200 loaded cars were dispatched daily, and in all 24,000 carloads of machinery, metals and raw materials were shipped out of Riga. The work continued for two months. Factory owners have received com pensation from the government treas ury for the cost of removal and most of the skilled workers of the factories have accompanied the employers to the new locations. PAULINE’S WISHES. /Copyright, 1915, by the McClure News paper Syndicate). Pauline Clare was home for a holiday and it was raining. It v.as bad enough to have rain at boarding school, when one was at lessons, but to have it when there was so much fun to be had was something too trying on the nerves. So Polly sat in the big chair before the library grate fire and sulked. Bev erly was off at a boy scout meeting. Mamma was taking a nap. Mary was busy with mince pies in the kitchen, and the house was as still as a mouse. Not a sound but the tick, tock of the big clock in the corner of the hall and the drip, drip, drip of the water run ning down the pane. She threw her coat on the back of her chair, but the red tarn o’shanter cap she still kept on her brown curls. As she leaned back she felt the woolen tassel flop in her face. "If this were only a wishing cap,” she laughed, "I would pretty soon iix things all right. I would never have any rain or snow, and the weather would always be pleasant and sunny, with no wind at all.” "It is a wishing cap,” she seemed to hear a voice say out of the shadows of the big room. “My, what was that?” she exclaimed. "Sounded like someone spoke. It can't be a wishing cap, when it is the red woolen one dad gave me last year.” "Just try it once,” came again a voice out of the gloom. “All right,” laughed Pauline. “Here goes—I wish it would stop raining and turn warm, and the flowers would come out and the trees bo full of leaves and it would be summer again,” Before she had ceased to speak a wonderful change took place. The rain ceased, the sun came out hot, the flowers sprang up in the yard as if by magic, and the trees were green in tho sunny air. But the people going by with their winter clothing on began to grow faint with the unusual heat. Tho house, which was heated by a furnace, was so warm that every one left it ex cept Pauline, who was too busy to think about her own feelings. A farmer passing down the street stopped by the window, and Pauline heard him talking to a friend about the weather. "I can’t imagine what is the matter," he exclaimed. “This sud den July in January will ruin the coun try—our crops will sprout, the wheat will die. the fruits will be frosted by the next .change. We were having a nice soaking rain when this happened. We don’t need hot weather, but a good fall of snow to help the crops.” Pauline had begun herself to see that she had made a mistake in bring ing summer so suddenly into winter. People who were dressed for the cold weather were suffering; so were tho farmers and everything else with the I heat. “1 believe I would like to go skating this afternoon.” Pauline said, aloud. “So I wish it would freeze and freeze everything hard as a rock.” In a moment a violent change was seen. People who had been panting in the street began to shiver and tremble with the cold; tho furnaces, which had been allowed to cool, were rushed with fire and the cold houses shut. The flowers froze, turned black and drop ped from their stems and the trees shed their wilted leaves. Down the street came the same farmer who had passed before, and again he spoke to his friend about the weather. "Here it has frozen up, and Just after that hot spell brought up the wheat and made the fruit trees bloom,” cried the farmer. "First it is hot as summer and the trees, flowers, and fruits come out; then it is as cold as the pole and they freeze—that means that the nation must starve next year. There will be nothing to eat. Our farms are ruined.” Pauline was worried. Everything she did seemed wrong. "I guess I had best leave tho weather alone,” she sighed. "It seems to know best how to get along by itself.” So she wished that it would begin raining and be just like it was belore she started A interfere with the climate. Just then a ray of sunlight stole Vti the window and lighted on her eyes and with a start she awoke. "Why, it has really stopped raining,” she laughed in delight, “and I am glad it did so itself. I have found out it would be sorry weather if I had to manage it. I will make one more wish,” she continued, as she settled the red cap on her curls, "and that is that in the future I will know better than to grumble whether it rains or shines.” Try These on Your Cash Register.

The “Five Civilized Tribes” whose original domain wa3 formerly known as Indian territory, comprise the Cher okee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek and Seminole tribes of Indians in Oklahoma. Their total number of enrolled members and freedmen is 101,200. Of the total area of land embraced within the tribes’ domain | there were allotted to members 15, 794,400 acres. On sales the total de posited to the credit of the five tribes July 1, 1898, to June 30, 1914, was $17, 099,826, and there is yet due and draw ing interest at six per cent the sum of $5,623,950. The tribal form of gov ernment of the Cherokee tribe was practically abolished at the close of the fiscal year June 30, 1914. Pursu ant to previous acts of congress ap plicable to all the tribes, the Choctaw, the Chickasaw and Seminole tribes have been deprived of their legislative and judicial functions, retaining only a couple of executive officers for the transaction of business matters. In the Creek nation the only work of importance looking to the ultimate dis position of tribal affairs is the equal ization of Creek allotments. Of the total enrolled population of the five tribes the restricted class numbers 36,957. By the latest available fig ures the total number of Indians who have professed Christianity is 85,302; the number in 1912 was 69,529. There are 583 churches among the Indians now, as compared with 513 in 1912. The latest figures show 27,775 Indian children in government schools and 4,829 in mission schools. The aver- 1 age school attendance in 1914 was 26, 127; in 1912, 26,281; in 1900, 21,568; in 1890, 12,323. The number of schools in 1914 was 399; 1912, 412; 1900, 307; 1890, 246.
