Somewhere 1 came zeroes these «ords.
and I oass them on to the busy peoph
wUc think that they never have time for
anything except the hours of toll that
stern old Duty has allotted them: "How
many of the signal successes of life have
Q grown out of the treasured fragments of
■ time. May you gather up these broken
fragments, glean the precious dust, those
raspings and parings of precious duration,
those leavings of days and remnants
of hours which so many are sweeping
into the vast waste of existence
"Perhvpa. If you be a miser of moments.
If you be frugal and hoard up the half
hours and unexpected holidays, your
careful gleanings may eke you a long
i. and useful life, and you may die. at
last, richer in existence than multitudes
f whose time is all their own."
■ Our Saviour gathered up the fragments,
and it la a lesson that all children should
s. ba taught. This does not simply mear
that there shou- be no waste of food,
but waste of time and of Influence.
Though I must say that it is a sin to
waste food. sorr.etimes It makes' me
heartsick to see people with not a cent
tn the bank throwing trway their nickels
or the equivalent in cold food and hall
worn clothes. Easiness, ignorance and in
difference are three strong agents foi
poverty and crime.
My work sometimes takes me into the
poorest sections of the city, and I must
confess that I see more actual waste
there than in the richer homer I have
* known wives and mothers who fiad to
pinch and plan to get "bread and meat"
fnr five out of a very meagre anviunt
brought in by her children or husband,
sit in laziness until the last minute and
then “dash” Into the kitchen and cook
•j the food in the plainest and quickest sort
of way. Perhaps she would send to the
store for bread and a can of meat, and
when the meal was over ahe would hav<
half a loaf of bread cut up and left on
the table. By the next meal it would ;
be stale and then she would throw It
v away. “Half a loaf of bread is not
much." you say. No. but did you evet
know a poor housekeeper who stopped at
one-half a loaf in the garbage can? Ir*
two days there will be bread enough for
| a meal.
Certainly the family could not eat ft
as it was. but every housekeeper should
have a bread box, a tin can will do. and
when the left overs are sufficient they
may be made into milk toast, or dipped
in a beaten egg and fried, or dried and
used to scalloped dishes. Such things
make a change and save money in doc
tors’ bills, for the “finicky” appetite leads
to medicine or loss of work.
Suppose it is truly a case of bread
and meat Then take the white meat, side
meat, or bacon, as you happen to call
It. dip it in corn meat in flour batter
or to the crumbs you have dried and
fry it.
There are fragments that count in more
ways than one. There are plenty of
young people who are driven from home
because the mother is too laxy to use
the fragments of her time in away bene
ficial to herself and her family. I know
women who sit in idleness and brood
) over bad luck, and the days when their
monev was plentiful, when their daugh
ters are out tn the world from early till
t’‘ late, and have to buy ready made clothes
as well as supply the home with their
* scanty earnings. Those fragments of time
would have made the clothes as well as
left the mind of the replner above the
**bad luck" she brought on herself.
I know girls who can pass in any

Prayer ,
Prayer to the ponrine ont of the soul into
God as a free will offering solemnly and eter
nally dedicated to Hl tn. accompanied wih etlie
most earnest desire that we mar know, lore
and serve Him alone. The eloquence of praper
consists tn the fervency of desire, the simplicity
of faith. “lord, teach us how to prav.” is
a necessary prayer, for unless we are divinely
Instructed in the manner and Influenced by
the spirit of true devotion, even the prayer
taught us by our Lord may be repea.ed without
profit to our souls.
"The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous
availeth much." What a lesson this should be
to us. no: only to pray, but to pray fervently.
The Bible contains Instr ncea of the wonderful
poetency of prayer. Elias prayed for a drouth,
and it did JW>t rain within the space of three
years and six months. He prayed again and in
response, a cloud hovered over the parched and
sterile earth and pourned its refreshing waters
into its every pore, until the earth was satisfied
and made to bring forth fruit and grass to again
gladden the heart of beset and man.
When Joshua, that famous warrior of the Is
raelites. saw In one of his great battles that a
day was not enough time to conquer the Amor-
Ites. he prayed unto the All Powerful to stop
the sun in Ifs aeemtnr pass-'ee through the
heavens. The Ix>rd beard his request and stopped
the sun. producing a phenomena that astonished
all nations, thus lengthening the day 24 hours.
And again, when King Heseklah was sick
unto death be fervently prayed unto the Ixwd
to extend his life, and hls days were lengthened
15 years.
Tins we see that praver can assuage our sor
rows. relieve our troubles, fit snd qualify ns
for all t»-e duties of life snd for that glorr that
awaits the just throughout all eternity. I could
not bet-er close this letter than to quote the
beautiful lines of Montgomery on prayer:
“Prayer to the tural’a sincere desire
I'ttered or unexpressed.
The motion of a hidden fire
That trembles in the breast.
“Prayer is the burden of a sigh.
The falling of a tear.
The upward glancing of an eye
When none but God Is near.
“Prayer is the a Irani, st form of speech
That infants’ lips can try.
Praver the snbllrnost strains that reach
The majesty on high.
“Prayer to the contrite sinner’s voice
Returning from his wsya.
While angels in their songs rejoice
And cry. ’Behold, be prays!*
“Prayer is the Christian's vital breath.
The Christian’s native air.
His watchword at the gates of death.
He enters heaven with prayer."
Crawfordville. Ga. ETHEL.
Laugh and Be Cheerfu)
Bear Miss Thomas: After reading Che House
bold over. I derided that if Mrs. Carrington
could write after being in bed nine years I
could afford to write after being In bed two
months. Os course. I don’t know bow much
longer I’ll be here, but think with the help of
tbv good Lord 1 can soon be up again. I have
bad to have two operations in that time.
It makes me feel bad to bear a woman start
to tell me lp>w bad her husband treats her. I
can’t have manners enough to wait till she can
finish before I bare to say. “Mine don't do it.
and even if he did why should the world know
it?” When you go visiting you notice if yhu
start to tell something about your troubles,
whether the others cere anything about it ex
cept to tell *he next-door-neighbor about it.
Weep and you weep alone, laugh and the
world will laugh with you." to a true saying.
Wh<-n I xm able to do my work I go to

the afternoon. I don't go at night, for my two
babies are to be pnt to bed and looked after:
I never risk leaving them with servants, and

them that it is the worse kind of stuff.

Must We Convert Sinners?
Dear Sisters of the Household: How to make
~ie moat aud the best of life ought to be the
great study of the human race. I have thought
on this subject a great deal In the last few
1 year* and I think we would fulfill our miaalou
Im life best by being as nearly like Jesus as
we cr.n.
Sometimes, in this connection, it occurs to me
to mske a comparison of wnat God could do.
I and of what He does do. We all know that He
! could arrest every sinner on earth and convert
them immediately, but He does not do this. I
heard a minister say, "God Is a gentleman.
( be does not interfere with the private affairs
of other people.”
II think that He leaves it to them, and after
a while most people turn from evil and seek
the right way of their own accord and I very
much doubt whether they ever turn any sooner
for being constantly importuned by others.
It is not our duty to reform other people, but
it is ou.- duty to make everyone around us as
happy as we possibly can make them. Let us
look for the good that Is in everybody and
never see the evil.
; That to a beautiful custom you have In Geor
pls of working one day for the orphans' homes
snd I dare say results In much aid to those in
stitutions. I looked up Mirs Thomas' favorite
passage tn the Bible and think It beautiful. 1
always enter the conversation of “those that
love the Lord" end think we do not talk of Him
enough. The verse that has been more help to
me than any other in the Bible is ftoind in
James 1:5. I have often been situated where I
did not know what was best to do and have
found this verse "a very present help In time
of need."
Rest w’ahes for a happy home to all members
of the Household. L. T. RUSSELL.

Dear Household: Please let one absent mem

us went on a camping trip. Wo camped two
nights and one day at’Toccoa Falla. Only those
that have seen those falls know the beauty of

Tallulah, but the general scenery is prettier at
Tallulah. It took us about a day to drive to
Tallulah from Toccoa, in covered wagons and
a pouring rain. We camped there three nights
and two days. So you see we had a plenty of
time to see everything. At Vulcan's forge "yon

Useful Hints
Hera are a few hints which some one may
find helpful:
A Spoonful of vinegar put Into the water In
which meats and fowls are boiled will make
them tender.
A little horseradish tn a pan of sweet milk
will kee> it fresh a week.
Milk is en excellent substitute for so»p and
prevents that gretsy scum from appearing.
lodine will prevent carbolic acid from blister
ing.
One pert alnm and two parts sugar to a sure
cure and preventive of croup.
Add one ounce of alum to the last rinsing
water for cbfldren’a clothing and they will not
be so inflammable.
A little borax in cooked starch makes thine*
stiffer and gloaaler.

HOW GRANDPA STARTED A NEW FAMILY
AND IS DADDY AGAIN AT EIGHTY-SEVEN
John Henry Thiry Never Felt So
Happy As He Does in His Stren
uous Second Childhood.
One Son Is Old Enough to Be His
Brother’s Grandfather—Four
Babies Since His 78th Year.
BY W. Q. SHEPHERD.
“At eventide it eball be light.”—The
Bible. „ ,
LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y.-John
Henry Thiry is 87 years old, but on Sep
tember 4 he became the father of a
bouncing baby boy.
He wasn’t as much surprised as were
scientists, who have since been pestering
him for ’ facts regarding his manner of
living. Two years ago, when he was 85,
he had become thei father of a fine little
baby tlrl. And twft<jrears before that ,he
had become the father of a baby boy.
And two years before that—
But this is telling the story backward.
Here is the story, dates and all. of the
seeming miracle whereby an old man was
living out the end of his life alone, hls
wife dead, his two sons grown and fath
ers themselves: the story of how this old
grandfather began a new family of his
own that is younger and livelier and even
perhaps healthier than the families of his
sons. It’s a story of one bright evening
of life.
No wonder scientists in France, Aus
tria and Germany, as well as in the Unit
ed States, are asking Thiry hls secret.

♦ “Daddy of ’Em All” Tells ♦
♦ How to Keep Young at 87 ♦
♦ By John Henry Thiry ♦
I’m 87 years old and a few days
ago I became a father. If you ask ♦
-a me how I have kept my health, I ♦
♦ am at a loss to answer. Perhaps ♦
-♦- It was my motto that I have faith- ♦
fully followed for the last 20 years ♦
♦ --since I was 66 years old. ♦
My motto is: “Use, but do not ♦
♦ ibuse." before my 66th year I ♦
couldn’t get cigars too strong—l ♦
♦ have smoked 65 years. I drank ♦
whisky and my wine could never ♦
be served too strong. I took every- ♦
thing I wanted and as much as I ♦
wanted. But within the last 20 ♦
-» years I have become moderate. I ♦
■A smoke several cigars every day, -a
-a but I have them made especially for ♦
■A me and allow them to dry for three ♦
-a months before smoking mem. ♦
■a I pour water in my wine, and -a
■a and when I take my drink of whis- ♦
■a ky before I go to bed at mgnt I ♦
-A have warm water poured into it. ♦
-A How am I so healthy and strong a
■a young at 87? Perhaps the nearest -a
•a true answer of all is that I have ♦
-a kept my mind busy all my life and -A
•a have never allowed my thoughts to -a
■a grow old. So I am young. -a

Monday the Central Leather company
ncqulred the Harrington works. George’s
resignation of his $15,000 position was de
manded and promptly refused because he
holds a salary contract good until next
June. When he received his orders to re
port yesterday as a leather marker, he
smiled and made ready.
He left his home in the morning, jump
ed into his waiting touring car and drove
to the works. Then he sent his automobile
home to call for him at noon, and donned
a leather apron and went to work at a
table with scores of other leather mark
ers. George’s time was kept by the time
keeper just like that of all the laborers
to right and left of him. He was order
ed about by the superintendent as if h*
had never sat at a desk In the front
office.
And when noon came he doffed the
leather apron and became the wealthy
citizen again, as he entered his automobile
and drove to his home for luncheon. In
the afternoon his labor was repeated.
He says he will report each day un
til the expiration of his contract.
INSANE INVALIDS FLEE
FROM FIERCE FLAMES
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct, 9.—Fire de
stroyed the men’s convalescent cottage of
the Cleveland state hospital for the in
sane. at Newburg, a suburb, of Cleve
land tonight. ' Fifty insane invalids,
awakened from their sleep by the flames,
fled to the street in paroxyms of fright,
or huddled In corners, resisted the urging
of attendants who besought them to
leave.
The Are broke out beneath the roof of
the building. It spread rapidly, and in a
few moments after Its discovery the en
tire building appeared to be in flames.
Efforts of the firemen were hampered by
the necessity of caring for the escape of
the patients and the upper portion of the
building was completely gutted before the
Are was brought under control. The
structure is regarded as a total wreck.

declining years alone, he’ll tell you freely
about the wonder.

wine he himself made from his own
grapes, and some Belgian cakes. That is
the custom of hls native land.
“I married in Belgium when I was 26
years old. I was born in 1822, and I think
I shall surely live until 1922. Don’t you
think so ” he asks, significantly.
"My boys, Ralph and Joseph, were born
in Belgium in 1853 and 1854. In 1859 my
wife and I brought the children to Amer
ica, and I opened a book store. I did pret
ty well financially.
"The boys grew and we bought this
old homestead. That was back in 1883.
Prety soon the boys were married. They
went off to start homes of their own.
“That left mother and I home alone. 1
retired from business and took care of
my grapes and wife, and we used to have
some pleasant times together, in spite of
missing the boys.
“But. In 1886 she died. She was 63 years
old thfcn, and when she died I began to
feel old. I saw htat if I didn’t find a
new interest in life I would fade out of
existence.
“That was how I institute! the system
of school savings banks, which is now
in operation tn all parts of the world.
I was summoned to tell educators of my

knowing'that the biggest part of my life
work was done after I was 60 years of
age.

“We met at the home of a banka:- In
New York, one evening in 1898.
“We were married within the year. My
husband was 76 years old then.
"Tne next year, on March 17. a baby
boy was born to us. We named him
Jbhn Henry, after my husband. This ba
by died the next year. We then adopted
a foundling who was born on the same
day that John Henry was born. W’a
didn't name him John Henry, though,
because I thought It might be bad luck.
We love him as if he were our own
child.
"Then, on June IL 1901, Henrietta wa»
born. On. December 11. 1903, a boy wax
born to us. We wanted to name him
John Henry, but we were again prevent
ed from doing this by my fears. Sc we
called him Francla.
"Then, on April 28, 1906, another baby
boy was born. We named him John. Ha
died tn August of the same year.
"Then, three days after Christmas, in
1907, a girl was born. We called her Er
nestine. '
"And on September 4 last our new lit
tle boy was born. This time my hus
band had his way and named tha baby
John Henry, after himself.
"This is the strongest baby of them all.
and so we hope that my husband’s name
will go down to our children.
