Money
Since the dawn of preaching we
preachers have been threatening rich
men with our right fist—and extend
ing to them our left palm. It is hard
1y to be wondered at that we find dif
ficulty in being taken seriously.
And our advice has been so confus.
ing that we have not had much effect.
For now we exhort the youth to all
the virtues, giving as an inducement
the assurance that thus they will be
enabled to get on; and now again we
turn to those that have gotten on and
warn them of the danger of riches. 1t
might as well be asked, if riches be
dangerous, why acquire them; and if
virtues lead to riches, are they really
worth cultivating?
It may be well, therefore, to set
down a few common sense facts in re
riches and the relation of the same to
the moral values. !
In the first place, money is simply
the token or sign of our common hum
an wants. It means power, power
over others, power to make our per
sonality felt. No wonder we want it.
Again it means liberty. Poverty is
a curse. It ties the handa. It binds
the mind. It narrows the soul. One
who has to sweat ten hours a day for
bread has no time nor strength left
to develop the higher part of himself.
Money means also a full life. We
can gratify our cravings, whether tbey
be for beer or art, for Paris gowns or
Wagner music. With money we have
a chance to grow; without it we are
stunted.
Money, therefore, is simply concen
trated—we might say canned—human
value.
It naturally follows that it 18 good
or bad, never of itself, but only as giv
ing opportunity to its possessor. Here,
then, we have the moral gist of the
whole matter: money is simply—op
portunity.
It unlocks the door and bids the
cramped ‘and chafing passion go and
do its will. It liberates desire. Hence
it simply emphasizes a man. If he is
good he can now be better, having
more scope; if bad he can, and prob
ably will, be worse. If idle and use
less, he becomes a living fountain of
idleness and uselessness, poisoning
others.
So, money is like any other gift; as
beauty, which adds power to the per
gon; or genius, which multiplies the
efficiency of the mind and hand; or
position, for kinship magnifies a com
smon man to heroic proportiong, in his
influence on other men. £
Now, the sole relation of;~ orals to
power of any kind is th’hat the
moral sense adds to pow responsi
bility.
| The root of any genuine moral feel
ing is altrulsm. Given any desire, it
‘becomes moral as it takes a direction
toward the welfare of other people;
it is immoral exactly in proportion as
it disregards others and looks only to
gels.
Wicked people, therefore, are those
who live, think, and do for self alone;
and that whether poor or rich. Who
ever says, “I would like to be rich,
‘for I could do so much good with my
money,” should exemine himself and
ask what good he is doing with the
little he has. It's all a matter of re
lation. If one is not helpful and lib
eral on S4O a month, he would not be
80 on $4,000 a month.
In the ultimate realm of morals
there are no commandments; there is
only one test—do I live for myself or
for others; am I altruistic or egocen
tric.
The dawdling smart set, flitting
from bridge to matinee, from theater
to bedizened restaurant, from the club
to the horse race, are wicked; but no
wickeder than the better poor who‘
want to lead such a life, and who
curse their lot because their selfish
ness is bound and chained.
To the real man, therefore, riches
means nothing at all, as to his char
acter; it simply means an opening to
give vent to his character. And a
clear-eyed soul, that sees and realizes‘
what responsibility means, is never‘
eager for power and opportunity. It is ‘
easier to be good in moderate means
than in riches for the principal reason '
that it is easier to bear a small than
a great load of responsibility. “It is
hard for a rich man to enter the king
dom of heaven,” just because a rich
man to be moral must be great. And,
unfortunately, great souls are scarce
among great fortunes.
The greatness of Jesus was not in
his wisdom, magnetism, nor ethical
perception, but in the fact that he was |
utterly altruistic; that is, he used all’
his powers not to advance himself but
to help others.. His tormentors un
wittingly told the truth, ard stated un
knowingly his very secret, when, as he
hung on the cross, they wagged their
heads at him and cried:
“He saved others; himself he can
not save!” |
Working for Eternity.
Never mind where your work is.
Never mind whether it be visible or
not. Never mind whether your name
is associated with it. You may never
see the issues of your tolls. You are
working for eternity. If you cannot
see results here in the hot worklng!
day, the cool evening hours are draw
ing near, when you may rest from
your labors, and then they may fol
low you. So do your duty, and trust
God to give the seed you sow; “a body
‘as it hath pleased him.”—Dr. Alex:

BAG FOR DRESSES OR HATS
& —
Makes for Comfort In Traveling, and
Also Preserves the Articles
Enclosed.
A scheme which a girl will find a
great cpmfort in any place where she
h'tt;nswdent closet space I 8 a bag
to @old hat or her dress. In travel
| ing it is well to take one or more of
these bags, and in a camp they are al
most indispensable. A girl can very
quickly make all she wants of them,
and if she wants to economize space
they can be made of silkoline, which
folds up into the smallest kind of a
package, is light in weight and very in
expensive.
For a hat, make a bag three-quar
ters of a yard deep and half a yard
wide, with a drawing string at the top.
The bag is hung up by this string and
the hat is kept free from dust and out
of the way. This measurement is for
| a hat of ordinary size; if your hat is
“an unusually large one the bag must
be larger.
For a dress the bag should be about
five inches longer than the dress it
self, the width being a little more than
enough to slide the dress in easily.
When camping it 1s best to put one’s
traveling dre#s” and hat into these
bags and leave them there, for they
are seldom wanted until one is ready
to leave. In making the bags for camp
ing there are some advantages in us
ing cretonne instead of silkoline. Be
ing so much thicker, it keeps out the
dampness better, and it is often damp
enough in a tent to have a rather dis
astrous effect on a hat.

SHOES FOR LONG TRAMPS
Highly Important Part of Equipment
When a Girl Contemplates
“Roughing It.”
Girls who have had little experience
in outdoor life often do some foolish
things when they begin to try this
form of enjoyment. One way in which
many of them interfere with their own
comfort is by going on a tramp with
the wrong kind of shoes.
A girl who has pilayed tennis and
found the soft, rubber soled shoes
comfortable will think that they will
surely help her to enjoy a tramp; but’
they are the last thing to wear for a
long walk, as these girls have found
to their cost. They come home with
their feet aching and the calves of the
legs tired out from the lack of the
spring that is given by heels. Walk
ing with a flat, heelless shoes on a
rough road is extremely trying, and
one can feel every stone through the
soft rubber soles; and these tired feet
and legs will feel even worse the next
day.
Quite as bad as the tennis sßhoes are
low shoes with thin soles and high
heels. These tire the feet and may
sprain the ankles. The only shoes
that are really satisfactory for “rough
ing it” are strong high shoes with
thick soles. The strongest ankles need
support in rough walking, and it is
often wet in the woods. The girl who
has once tried the two ways of tramp
ing will never again be persuaded to
wear low or thin shoes.
Parls Bridesmaid Gowns.
A shepherdess effect was shown in
four bridesmaid gowns recently
turned out by Paris makers. The un
derslips were of a thin white silk trim
med with scattered wreaths, about the
size of a saucer, of tiny pink roses.
Over these fell tunics of pale blue
chiffon, which mellowed the flowers
until they were the dimmest blush.
The broad hats were wreathed with
the posies held by a vast butterfly of
thin white lace, and there were small
knots of the buds on the blue slip
pers.
BSuit Coats.
Suit jackets for autumn and wifter
will remain close fitting aboyt the
hips and hold to the straight line
form. At present there is no arbi
trary decree regarding the length.
Models considerably shorter than the
26-inch length, and somewhat longer
also, are among the new models. But
the length mentioned is a happy me
dium. The feeling is that with the ap
proach of winter the tendency will be
to lengthen the jacket, with perhaps a
revision to the short effects again In
the spring. ;
Hunter Green.
As the season advances the vogue
for emerald green noticeable for some
months past appears to be on the de
cline, hunter green, a softer, more
pleasing tone, being substituted
Scarfs of hunter green satin are
draped around the crowns of outing
hats of Panama and peanut braid and
gracefully looped at one side. Scgrfs
of striped and checked silk, such as
may be found at the neckwear shops
‘are also utilized as drapery for out
« ing hats.

ACTIVE INDIAN RUNNER DUCK
Smali Breed, Noted for Its Egg Pro
duction and Termed the Leghorn
of the Duck Family.
(By GEORGE BE. HOWARD.)
These ducks came originally from
India; hence the name Indian. The
term “Runner” comes from the fact
that they literally run instead of
waddling like most ducks.
The Indian Runner is a breed of
small, utility duck noted for its egg
production, and is often termed the
Leghorn of the duck family. These
ducks have been credited with records
of more than 200 eggs each in flocks
of ten, and 192 eggs each in flocks of
one hundred. The “Runners” are ac
tive in their habits, are good foragers,
and on an extensive run are able to
)

find a large proportion of their food.
They are non-setters, are hardy and
easily reared, but do not stand con
finement well. Their flesh is of a
deep yellow color and is of fine qual
ity, but their small size is rather
against them for market purposes,
except for broilers.
The standard-bred Indian Runner
has a long, flat, finely formed head of
a light fawn or gray and white color,
the former being preferred. The head
should be adorned with cap and cheek
markings of light fawn or gray, the
cap being divided from the cheek
markings by a narrow line of white
about one-eighth of an inch wide. The
bill is of unusual length, fairly broad
and strong at the base. In the duck
lings the bill is of a yellow color,
spotted with green. When fully ma
tured, the bill should be green in color
with a black bean.
‘The eyes are of a hazel color and
set light in the head. The neck is
unusually long and slender and white |
in color from head to the beginning of
the breast markings. The back is long
and narrow and of a light fawn or
gray color. The breast is round and
of a light fawn or gray color, evenly
divided about halfway between the
point of the breast bone and the legs.
The body is long, narrow and carried
erect, with no Indication of keel,
somewhat resembling that of a Pen
quin in shape, and is of a light fawn
or gray color. The wings are of me
dium length and carried close to the
| body, the shoulders and top part of
the wings being of the same color as
the breast. The tail is composed of
hard, stiff feathers, the six feathers of
the drake being well curled. The col
or of the tail is light fawn or gray.
The legs should be of medium length
and set well apart; the toes straight
and connected by web. The shanks
and toes should be of a deep, bright
yellow.
The standard weight of the drake is
41, pounds and of the duck 4 pounds.
e —en.
Do not forget the shady nooks. The
fowls need them.
Houses must be kept sanitary and
the fowls free from vermin.
It is the even, steady thrift of our
stock that makes them pay a profit.
The comb not orly denotes egg lay
ing, but the general condition of the
hen.
Lice are working havoe, and too
severe measures cannot be adopted
to destroy them.
Already the fowls are assuming a
rusty appearance. It is getting near
their molting season. -
It should be remembered that chicks
do not need any feed for the first 12
to 36 hours after hatching.
It is preferable o keep a box of
dry chaff constantly before the fowls,
allowing them to eat all they wish.
To insure fertile eggs it is most
essential that the breeding stock
should be as well fed as timely mated.
The growing cockerels should now
be separated from the pullets, and
the former given an extra allowance
of feed.
Three-fourths of the diseases could
be traced to impure air, dampness,
improper food, close breeding and ill
chosen conditions.
A hen that goes around with her
mouth open is not a comfortable hen;
she is too warm. Give her a place
to sit down and cool off.
Throw open the windows every
night, but tack some wide-meshed
cloth of some kind over them to keep
out things that have no business in
the house.
If farmers would use the same
judgment in feeding their poultry that
they use in feeding their dairy cows
they would soon find the results quite
satisfactory.
As much poultry feed as possible
should be grown on the farm, but ad
ditional feeds may be bought as neces
sary, such as bran middlings, gluten
neal or beef scraps.
A TYPICAL AMERICAN BEAUTY

type of face and figure which stands
.| as an exclusive example of American
femlnin9 loveliness. @ The rounded
grace of the brown eyed southern
belle, the athletic spareness of the
York state girl and the splendid,
| lithesome height associated with the
| daughters of the west—each is beau
| tiful in its own way, but surely typi
| cal of a section rather than of the
land of the free as a whole,

thrives in Europe. In London and
Paris especially is she encouraged to
go ahead and be just as typical as she
knows how. Sometimes she yields to
temptation, in this respect, and then
—well, it is to laugh. Interesting to
foreigners undoubtedly, but to plain,
every-day home folks she is merely
amusing and a trifle saddening.
However, there are several Ameri
cans perfectly at home in England and
on the continent who, while forced
and, naturally, not altogether dis
pleased to accept this title, the most
complimentary which can be bestowed
by a European on a woman from the
States—are content to retain the sim
plicity of manner and style which dis
;inguishes them “back home.” Mrs.
R. H. Garcy, is one of these. TUn
doubtedly a great beauty, she has the
gift of forgetting this fact very often
and letting folks discover it for them
selves—a faculty possessed by few
women famed on two continents for
thelr loveliness of face and figure.
Mrs. Garcy’s grandfather was a
Belgian and at one time was the may
or of Antwerp. On the other side of
her family she is descended from the
Marchioness von Ebbeson of Denmark.
Bhe is a particular favorite in exclu
sive yachting circles here and abroad.

her class from the gospel of Matthew,
and was examining a promising boy,
a newcomer, about the subject matter.
“There were ten virgins,” said the
young man, “five wise ones and five
foolish ones, and the five wise ones
filled their lamps and the five foolish
ones wasn't in no hurry. And at
midnight came the bridegroom. 8o
the five foolish ones went across the
street to buy oil and got locked out.”
“Very good,” said the teacher.
“And what did the bridegroom do?”
“Why,” said the good little student,
“he married the five wise ones.'—

GET POWER.
The Supply Comes From Food
If we get power from food why not
gtrive to get all the power we can.
That is only possible by use of skil
fully selected food that exactly fits
the requirements of the body.
Poor fuel makes a poor fire and a
poor fire is not a good steam producer.
“From not knowing how to select
the right food to fit my needs, I suf
fered grievously for a long time from
stomach troubles,” writes a lady from
a little town .in -Missouri.
“It seemed as if I would never be
able to find out the sort of food that
was best for me hardly anything that
1 could eat would stay on my stomach.
Every attempt gave me heartburn and
filled my stomach with gas. I got
thinner and thinner until I literally
became a living skeleton, and in time
was compelled to keep to my bed.
A few months ago I was persuaded
to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such
good effect from the very beginning
that I have kept up its use ever since.
1 was surprised at the ease with which
1 digested it. It proved to be just
what I needed.
“All my unpleasant symptoms, the
heartburn, the inflated feeling which
gave me s 0 much pain disappeared.
My weight gradually increased from
98 to 116 pounds, my figure rounded
out, my strength came back, and I am
now able to do my housework and en
joy it. Grape-Nuts food did it.” Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.
A ten days’ trial will show anyone
some facts about food.
Read the little book, “The Reaé to
Wellville,” in pkgs. “There’s a reason.”
Ever read the above letter? A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full of human
interest.
