The majority of mothers nowadays overdo, there are so many demands upon their time and strength; the result is invariably a weakened, run-down, nervous condition with headaches, back ache, irritability and depress^—and Boon more serious ailments develop.

From Coll.er's Weekly. i Imagine a family living in 1880. There is a father, a mother, t two sons ami a daughter. The parents each work 12 hours a day, and j the children each io. In a week the family has accomplished what i would be 374 hours of work for a single person. The recreations eon- , sist in going to church on Sunday, in occasional walks or buggy rides j on a moonlight night, or in a little skating, coasting and sleighing in 1 ho winter, with a limited amount of sweethearting for the young people on Saturday and Sunday nights only. All this costs practically nothing. Here is a typical picture of today: In a similar family the father and older son work 44 hours a week, the mother 42 hours a week, and the younger son and daughter not at all. Their total weekly output amounts to 130 hours of work for a single person or a little more than a third that of the 1880 family. Their usual diversions are movie shows and automobile trips, costing them weekly the pay of about 35 hours of work. This leaves some 95 hours of work to support them, or about one-fourth as much as in the case of the other family. In the main they are happy, but they are very much worried about the high ^ost of living. The man who stops to think should have no difficulty in realizing that now is the time to save and invest every dollar possible, to work for himself as much as possible and for others as little. j Noblest Use of Money. 4——---— ---------- - -4 From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. The noblest use of money ts assuredly (hat which means the broadest dissemination of culture an4 of healthful pleasure, of recreation for the inind and body, of welfare for the toiling masses, of the enlightenment of education for the many. The money might be given for a library, a hospital, a playground, an orchestra. A large fund may be lodged in tiie hands of an individual, but not that he may spend it on himself. He becomes trustee and steward. He is engaged in a great work of healing or of inspiration, and the fund permits him 0o do that work on a scale he could not attempt when crippled for want of resources. The ignoble materialist spends his money for a vulgar "splurge.” He spends it that he may create envy in the minds of beholders. But the lasting riches are not in the furniture we buy; they are in the friends we make and keep; they are in the satisfactions that we know in the quiet sessions with our own souls; they are in the consciousness of duty dene in every public and private relation and of faith kept with our place of service and with the com munity at large. As humanity marches along the winding pathway that leads to the millen nium it does not bestow its love and trust on those who care only to feed and clothe and lodge themselves. It bestows its affection on the unselfish and it responds to those who are seeking to keep it. Those who are rich are those who have amassed not the dollars or the pearls, but the abiding tokens of esteem and of affection that are offered by their fellows while they live. 4444444444444444444 4 ♦ 4 LEARNING. 4; ♦ — ♦! 4 Bacon. 4 4 Learning taketh away the wild- 4 4 ness and barbarism and fierceness 4: 4 of men's minds, though a little su- 4 j 4 perfieial learning doth rather work 4 i 4 a contrary effect.

From the New York Post. The most awful example of profiteering that has yet come to light was exposed in the Senate by Senator Capper in behalf of the Kansas farmer. He had previously published this exposure in the Topeka Capital: It takes four and a half bushels of wheat to make a barrel of flour. The wheat raiser gets about $8.37 for the wheat, the miller $12.70, the baker $58.70, and the city hotel keeper $587. According to an estimate made by Mr. Hoover when he was food administrator, the average barrel of flour makes 275 one pound loaves o.f bread. To arrive at Sena tor Capper's figures, we would have to suppose the bakers selling pound loaves at about 21 cents a loaf. To arrive at his further figure of $587 for the greedy hotel keeper we should have to imagine hotels disposing of bread at $2.10 the loaf. So frightful are these figures that the aver se consumer will blink at them incredu lously. Before Girls Played Ball. From the Christian Scienc Monitor. How quaint, nowadays, sounds the phraseology with which the girls’ board school, in the days before academic edu cation for women became general, adver tised for pupils. Susan B. Anthony was a pupil in such a school, and its circular lias been reprinted as Dr. Daniel An thony. meditating upon his daughter’s education, received it more than 80 years ago. "Having obtained an agreeable lo cation,’’ so the doctor read, "in the pleas ant village of Hamilton, in the vicinity of Philadelphia, Deborah Moulson intends, with the assistance of competent teach ers, to open immediately a seminary for females. The inculcation of the principles | of humility, morality and a love of virtue j will receive particular attention." One ' learns from his daughter's diary that one serious "departure from the paths of rec- , titude” was "too much levity and mirth- i fulness;’’ and the awful occasion is re- ! corded when young Miss Anthony was -compelled to admit that she did not know . the rule of dotting an i. These, however, wore trying moments in an otherwise reas- 1 ot.ably happy seminary, for she wrote also, “1 think another one cannot be ’ named so agreeable on all accounts as is 1 Debora Moulson’s at Hamilton.” Longevity. From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Dr. William J. Mayo, addressing a sur gical congress in New York, says that at no distant day, largely through the effect , of radium in overcoming cancerous 1 the average term of human life will be lengthened by 10 years. Even today the productive period in the ; lives of many men and women is extended of their own determined volition beyond the conventional duration of a bygone era. We are not content to fold our hands and , "rust in idleness” in the very prime of life ; or to ring down the curtain on the active ! drama in the 60s and 70s. We find "Champ Clark vigorously combating the idea that those of his generation in the halls of con gress are ready to be shelved for pre- j cocious youth. The ex-speaker cities !

In the last few years there has been a gen eral reversal of opinion as to the value of old men. Their sagacity and their experi ence have been called in consultation and were not found wanting. "We are none of ! us infallible, not even the youngest of us;” : these often quoted words of the wise Ben- 1 jamin .fowett, of Balliol, are as true as When they were uttered, and they . erve to remind us of the value of the sane, poised judgment of a^o. 1 Sweating Big Business. From the ‘Wall Street Journal. “Talking about the shortage of office space in the financial district, listen to this!” said the raconteur te % group of his acquaintances. Tve got a friend—a manufacturer's agent. Last June he leaded two small offices for $100 a month. 2*i July he sub let one of the offices to a collector for $100 a month. In August the collector sub fet desk room to an advertising agent for $100 a month. In September the advertis ing agent put in a double desk and leased one side of it to a stock legman for $100 ft month.” “I’m glad you’ve finished with that lie/’ said one of the hearers as the raconteur ! paused for breath. “It’s true, every word of it, so help me! Besides, I haven’t finished. This very October, the stpek salesman sublet for $100 a month his side of the desk from sun set till sunrise to the superintendent of a gang of nightwatchmen.” n ucimtin in cuds, From the New York Times. The German commissioner of the eco nomic league, who was allowed to land in Cuba "against government rules"— some gold in the palm sufficed, perhaps— and discovered a demand for German goods and a hatred for the Americans and British, cannot be as simple as he seems to be. Havana, he reported, "is fairly swimming in gold." That is true; the Cubans have prospered, some of them have become Monte Cristos, during the war. What immense fortunes have been made in sugar! "Wherever I went,” says the commissioner, “I was told that all business men were waiting for German goods, which in their great variety could not be replaced by any others." This should be coupled with the following: Cuban business men never tire of asking about the war, and when you picture lo them the battle in which the Americans and English got & good licking their eyes sparkle. Their admiration for German valor and organizations is unlimited. They ask: “Did you fight with Htnden burg or Mackensen? Were you at Gorlice or Rheims?" They seem to pity the French, however, while hating the Ameri cans and English. All of which must have gratified the German commissioner, whose hatred for both Americans and English was bitter. But who were these "Cuban business men." he talked with? In most cases, in fact In about all, they were peninsulars of old Spain, and not Cubans in point of view and sentiment. The great body of "Cuban business men" who could order from a German trade catalog are Span iards, some of the second generation; they arc more loyal to the yellow and red flag than home keeping Spaniards, and have an ineradicable dislike for the native Cuban. The German commissioner misrepresents tlie native Cubans. They were pro-ally during the war, intensely so after the Americans entered it. They volunteered, they contributed handsomely to the Red Cross; a division of Cubans for the front could have been raised at any time; there were Cuban ambulances in France, and Cuban women nursed the wounded. The Appetizers. From the Bos Angeles Times. According to the testimony of numbers of experienced hotel men the cocktail as an appetizer was a joke. As a matter of fact, the fizz, the highball and cocktail took tlie place of a certain amount of food and really put a crimp in the appetite in stead of stimulating it. Tlie cocktail crowd is eating more than it ever did. It takes three full courses and is especially strong on rtch and heavy deserts. Possibly these do more harm than the stimulant, but ttiey won't be blamed for it. The point Is that booze of itself never encouraged the appetite, but tended rather to blunt or Stupefy it. As a dinner bell it was a false alarm. -. » _ Oldest Wine in World. From i ho Arfonaut.

Swift & Company is in a better pos ition perhaps, than others, to under stand the meat packing business in all its relations to public and private inter ests, even though the others may have been giving the subject a great deal of sincere attention. Swift & Company is convinced that interference with its legitimate business function by governmental agencies, however well intentioned, would be an injury to every man, woman and child who wants meat to eat, as well as to the men who raise the meat and to those who dress and distribute it. Maximum service that cannot monopolize because of keen competi- \ tion and lack of control over sources of supply is furnished at a minimum of profit—a fraction of a cent per pound from all sources. Therefore Swift & Company is taking every legitimate step of citizen ship to prevent such interference.
