Gulf Stream’s Travel*
The Oflf stream flows northeast
ward along the American coast, but
cun no longer be distinguished from
the .rest of the ocean drift after It has
passed latitude 40 degrees north and
meridian 00 degrees west. When It
leaves the southern edge of the banks
of Newfoundland it is no longer con
sidered a current, but a drift. The dis
tance to which the extension of the
Gulf stream Is felt In a northeasterly
direction has been the subject of much
discussion. By measurement on the
map the distance may be given approx
imately as 3,000 miles.
Illegal Newspaper Reading
Until the close of the Eighteenth
century the public newspaper room
came under the ban of the law. In
September, 1790, three proprietors of
such reading rooms In London were
prosecuted by the stamp ofllce and
each fined $25 for allowing the use
of their newspapers to the public. The
stamp ofllce derived a large income
from the stamps which then had to be
fixed on every copy of a newspaper,
and the Judge decided that to allow
one paper to be read by several per
sons was circumventing the stamp act.

Aiking for a Sweetheart
Thousands of Madrid girls flock to
the church of St. Anthony to ask for
a "sweetheart,” in accordance with
the customary celebrations of the fair
of St. Anthony. Nothing seems to
diminish Madrid’s Interest in this the
most typical of its festivals. The
church of Saint Anthony, it is inter
esting to recall, is an exact copy of
the original church of the same name,
which stands a few yards away, and
is preserved as a monument in which
the body of Goya is burled beneath
the famous frescoes done by him.
Seek the Good in Other*
Do not think of your faults, still less
of others’ faults; in every person who
comes near you, look for what is good
and strong; honor that, rejoice In It,
and, as you can, try to Imitate It. For
the rest you will find It less easy to
nproot faults than to choke them by
gaining virtues. If, on looking back,
your whole life should seem rugged
as a palm-tree stem, still, never mind,
so long as It has been growing and
has Its grand green shade of leaves
and weight of honeyed fruit at top.—
John Ruskin.

Freak Coin
This country was In organized ex
Istence some 119 years before Colum
bus. If you will believe the Indian
head copper penny dated "1373,” hand
ed in at the Brockton post ofllce re
cently, snys the Boston Globe. Appar
ently the cent is supposed to carry the
date 1873, but the fact that it does
not Is emphasized by scrutinizing it
through a microscope. The figure “3”
Instead of an “8” follows the "1” and
Is as perfect as the last "3” In the
date.
Fighting Difficulty
Difficulties are to be met and bat
tled, rather than to be feared. We
can’t go through life without trouble,
but there’s no use worrying over some
thing we can’t help. It Is well to re
member that foolish fear frequently re
suits in doubling our real dangers.—

How Doctors Treat
Colds and Coughs
To break up a cold overnight and re
lieve the congestion that makes you
cough, thousands of physicians are now
recommending Calotabs, the nausealess
calomel compound tablets that give you
the effects of calomel and salts without
the unpleasant effects of either.
One or two Calotabs at bedtime with a
glass of sweet milk or water. Next morn
ing your cold has vanished, your system
is thoroughly purified and you are feeling
fine with a hearty appetite for breakfast.
Eat what you wish, —uo danger.
Calotabs are sold in 10c and 35c pack
ages at drug stores. (Adv)
Felt Call of Duty to
Carry Gospel to Heathen
Two humble workmen, setting out
for an unknown country with JUst
thirty shillings between them —and
they changed the face of the world.
'lTiat is the romance behind our
modern foreign missions, which have
celebrated their two hundredth anni
versary. They date from 1732, when
Leonard Dober and David Nltschmann,
two working men, left the village of
Herrnhut, in Germany, to preach to
the slaves in the West Indies.
These pioneer missionaries were
Moravians, and for some time this
church was the only one—at least, in
the Protestant world —which regarded
preaching to the heathen as a reli
gious duty. In the years after 1732 its
missionaries went out to take the
Gospel message to Eskimos, Red In
dians, Hottentots, and other primitive
peoples, until gradually the other
Protestant churches followed the Mo
ravian example.
So, really, it Is these two men—one
a carpenter and the other a potter—
whom we have to thank for our Prot
estant foreign missions.—London An

Childish “Revenge” on
Too Dominant Parents
If the school-age child Is guided in
finding the answers to his own ques
ilons he makes a definite intellectual
advance. If the adult utilizes the ques
tionings to exhibit bis own wisdom the
child is likely to ask questions for their
effect upon the person questioned.
A child not permitted to solve his
own problems may find an excellent
revenge by asking questions until he
embarrasses his elders and forces
them to show their Ignorance. Que
little boy developed what appeared on
the surface as an Insatiable curiosity
about history, but which, upon Inves
tigation, proved to be an effective way
of humiliating a particularly dominant
mother. She was sensitive about her
Ignorance of history, a fact that the
boy was not alow to discern.
It pays to tell a child when you do
not know and then to help him find
the answer. Be sure that ills curiosity
is a real search for information and
not a device to outwit others. —John
J. B, Morgan In the Parents’ Maga
zine.
The Hon.«
The true angel of the home Is not
Justice, but charity. You may collect
a household, but you cannot build a
home on mere Justice. The home as
an Institution will not exist a single
day without the presence of that which
“beareth al) things, hopeth all things,
endureth all things." Like utwpected
flowers which spring up along our
path, full of freshness, fragrance, and
beauty, so kind words and gentle acts
and sweet dispositions make glad the
sacred spot called home; and the heart
will ever turn longingly towards It
from all the tumult of the world.—E.
Dresser.
Old Law* Suit Tribal Wive*
Companionate marriage is not want
ed by women of the “maternal kin
ship" tribe which has been found In
Assam. There the woman proposes,
and if the man accepts he must live
with his wife's people after the wed
ding. The wife may divorce him when
she pleases, and she not only keeps
the children and her own property, but
her divorced husband’s property as
well. If he divorces her she gets the
children nnd his entire property just

For the Nation’s Health
THE twenty-sixth annual con
ventions of the National' Can
ners Association, the Canning
Machinery and Supplies Associa
tion and the National Food Brok
ers Association will be held at the
Hotel Stevens in Chicago from
January twenty-third to January
twenty-seventh. The main object
of these conventions is not, as one
would think, to discuss ways and
means of selling more canned
foods, but to devise new ways
and exchange the latest informa
tion on how to can better and
still better foods to sell.
For there is no doubt about the
acceptance of canned foods as a
large part of their diet by the
vast majority of the American
public. And the only way to
make this acceptance continue
and to increase the amount of
canned foods consumed is to show
that they are surrounded by every
i until brown on the bottom, then
place in a moderate oven, 350°,
until firm and top dried off. Fold
over, and turn out onto a hot
platter, garnish with bacon strips,
and serve at once. Serves six
liberally.
Pear Cobbler: Mix two table
spoons sugar with one-half table
spoon flour, add with one table
spoon butter to the pears from a
one-pound can, bring to boiling,
and pour into a baking dish.
Make a baking powder biscuit
dough of one cup flour, two tea
spoons baking powder, one half
teaspoon salt, two tablespoons
shortening, one tablespoon sugar,
six tablespoons milk, and drop by
spoonfuls on top of the pears.
Bake in hot—4so°—oven for ten
to twelve minutes. Serve hot
with one cup light cream.*

study ways of improving them
year after year.
Scientists Speak
That is why scientists so often
supplant captains of industry at
the speakers' table at these con
ventions. That is why such lead
ers in the nutritional field as Lt.
E. F. Kohman, Miss Alice Blinn.
Professor F. C. Gaylord, Dr. D.
M. Doty, Dr. J. R. Esty, Professor
J. H. MacGillivray, Char / G.
Woodbury, Karl F. Kellerman,
Ruth Atwater, Professor Sybil
Woodruff, Dr. Walter H -ddy
and Miss Lita Bane addressed
packed meetings at this conven
tion last year. These conventions
which are attended by several
thousand canners and brokers are
a vast effort to promote the na
tion’s health.*
