CHURCH SERVICES
THE PUBLIC CORDIALLY INVITED
♦ TELL HIM NOW. ♦
If with pleasure you are viewing any
work a man is doing,
If you like him, or if you love him,
tell him now;
Don’t withhold your approbation till
the the parson makes oration
As he lies with snowy lilies o’er his
brow.
For no matter how you shout it, he
won’t really care about it,
He won’t know how many tear-drops
you have shed;
If you think some praise is due him,
now’s the time to slip it to him,
For he cannot read his tombstone
when he's dead.
More than fame and more than money,
is the comment kind and sunny,
And the hearty, warm approval of a
friend,
For it gives to life a savor and it makes
you stronger, braver,
And it gives you heart and spirit to
the end.
I
If he earns your praise, bestow it; if
you like him, let him know it;
Let the words of true encouragement
be said,
Do not wait till life is over, and he’s
underneath the clover,
For he cannot read his tombstone
when he’s dead.

DECIDED TO TELL TRUTH
BEFORT FORMER ATTORNEY
ATLANTA, Ga.. Aug. 4.—A member
of the Georgia legislature relates the
following story of the recently appoint
ed judge of the city court in his home
town.
The judge was trying one of his first
criminal cases. The prisoner charged
with stealing chickens. He had been
in court before on a similar charge and
was acquitted
“Well, Henry,” said the judge, “I see
yon are in trouble again.”
“Yes, suh, Judge, and you ricklick de
last time I was here you was ray law
yer.”
“Where is your lawyer t his time,?”
asked the judge.
“I ain’t got no lawyer dis time,
Judge I'se gwine to tell de whole trufe
about this case.”
PRICE OF SLEEPING CAR

SELF RISING FLOUR.
The recent inquires on the part of
many physicians and scientific men,
all over the country in regard to the
food value and wholesomeness of self
rising flour have led to much discus
sion among the members of the med
ical fraternity in reference to the class
of food.
The Manual for Army Bakers states
on Page 16 with reference to self-ris
ing flours. “They have no particular
merit. The best that can be claimed
for them is that they save the baker
the time used in mixing his flour and
baking powder.” The best that can
be claimed, cannot be claimed at all
unless the leavening ingredients are so
proportioned as to properly neutralize
each other as they do every well known
standard baking powder.
Self-rising flour is a mixture o$ flour
frequently of an inferior grade, with
salt, soda and acid ingredient. Tbe
last is generally an impure calcium
acid phosphate which contains a large
percentage of calcium sulphate. Cal
cium sulphate, after heating to drive
off water, is sold under the common
name of plaster of paris. These “self
rising flour” are generally prepared
without chemical supervision. Conse
quently there is a real danger that
some of the soda will remain in the
food unchanged.
Dr. W. A. Evans in a recent article
on pellagra, states that whatever vit
amines are present in the flour are
destroyed by soda, if it is not neutral
ized. This absence of vitamines, he
states, has been found to be a cause
of pellagra. In the case of self-rising
flour this is not the fault of the flour,
but the fault of the manufacturer, who
does not exercise chemical control
when adding materials to make the
self-rising product Without such con
trol the danger of unneutralized soda
being left in the food is very great.
The same objectionable will take place
in the home when soda and sour molk
are used in cooking, if enough sour
milk is not used to neutralize the soda
The same danger of pellagra. Dr. Ev
ans states, exists in adding soda when
cooking vegetable It is safest to
stop the use of soda in cooking vegeta
bles and to use a good baking powder
mixed with flour. One will thus avoid |
the danger of all diseases such as are
caused by mal-nutrition

SHIPS’ MASCOTS LOSE NERVE
i
Pet Animals on British Vessels Show
the White Feather When Shells
Begin Exploding,
There are some incidents about the
mascots in the big naval battle of Jut
land which are worth repeating. The
mascot on the Tiger was a bulldog, a
fine fellow. When getting into the bat
tle the crew were a bit concerned as
to how their favorite would take the
crashing of high explosives on the
ship, so they plugged his ears with cot
ton wool, wrapped his head’around as
if he had a heavy dose of toothache,
and a couple of men took the bulldog,
much to his annoyance, to a room that
was thought to be as quiet as the ship
could provide. The dog didn’t quite
fancy being treated as an invalid and
resented the coddling, but when the
shots began he took It pretty badly
and was mighty glad he had a pal sit
ting on either side holding him by the
paws.
Another boat-had a fine, big black
cat. He was overlooked when they got
into action, and the first shell that
came aboard this fellow got loose and
took a flying dive overboard. As the
boat was going about 27 knots, even
the most tender-hearted Jack Tar
could hardly risk going after Tommy.
On another ship they had a little ban
tam, which strutted about more proud
ly than the dinkiest midshipman and
with as big a show of courage as the
hardiest of old seadogs. The tars
were proud of the “swank” their pet
could assume before strangers. When
the first German shell .crashed on
board the bantam lost all his fine show
and flew down one of the ventilators.
When he W’as rescued and photo
graphed after the fight he presented a
bedraggled appearance.—London Post.
MUSIC NEED OF FIGHTING MEN
Blare of Band Instruments Brings
Cheer to Troops and Is Just as
Necessary as Ammunition.
“The blare of the trombone, the
shrill note of the piccolo and the
drums blending with other band in
struments in a military organization
give cheer to the men with the guns
and Is Just as necessary as ammuni
tion,” says Charles H. Parsons of New
York. “During the Spanish-American
war the tunes happily accepted were
those of the vaudeville stage, when
‘There’ll Be a Hot Time In the Olfl
Town Tonight’ was said to have led
troops to the capture of San Juan hill.
The old Civil war melodies having the
swing of march cadence were first of
all, ‘Dixie,’ probably used, at least
hummingly, by the soldiers of the
North, as those who followed the
‘Stars and Bars.’ And it is worth while
to recall that ‘Dixie’ was the most
popular of all the melodies strummed
in camp and sung In action of all the
old-time songs during the war of 1898.
“Canned music will give to the boys
at the front much of their entertain
ment evenings to come,” added Mr.
Parsons. “The phonographic records
will cheer many groups. And they
will have programs provided by the
stars of the operatic world and other
entertainers who may not give to them
their cheer first hand.”
Would Use Water for Fuel.
Recently an inventor attracted con
siderable attention by claiming to have
isolated a certain green chemical the
addition of which to water would make
thp water a substitute for gasoline in
initial-combustion engines. Now comes
another inventor with a process for
utilizing water as an automobile fuel.
He points to the well-known fact that
water is decomposed into its elements,
hydrogen and oxygen, when a current
of electricity passes through it. Hy
drogen mixed with air is more explo
sive than gasoline vapor. In his pat
ented device the inventor would con
vert part of the power generated by
the automobile engine into electrical
energy, which he would use to decom
pose water. The hydrogen of the de
composed water he proposes to use to
run the engine, securing enough sur
plus power in the cycle to drive the
car.
Knows When to Quit.
Handled intelligently, a mule is a
mo.st willing worker; but there are a
few unwritten laws that cannot- be
transgressed with impunity. A mule
will seldom make more than two at
tempts to move a load. On the first
strain he will throw his whole force
into the collar, and a mule can pull 50
per cent more in relation to his weight
than a horse. Science is again dumb
at the question whence comes that lat
ent force which neither horse nor ass
possesses. After a short rest the mule
will make a second attempt, but this
is seldom as sustained as the first. If
the load still refuses to move the team
might as well be unhitched. At times
the mules will not even exert enough
force on a third attempt to move an
empty wagon.
Yielding to Necessity.
There is, as Clenthes pointed
such a thing as a “noble yielding to
necessity,” which is accounted divine.
A man must, of course, be convinced
that what he yields to is in truth ne
cessity. But when that is clear there
should be no repining, and no fear of
what “others may say.” Until it is
clear there should be no yielding. The
poet, who was sad because he could
not paint a picture, and the painter
who mourned because he could not
write a poem, were surely most unrea
sonable. They clearly knew nothing
of the doctrine of diversity of gifts.
The doctrine is not only true but in
the highest degree, consoling and
cheering.—Exchange.
