POWER OF MONEY.
And the Danger That May Coma With
Undua Lova of Waalth.
It Is con iMilcnt ui Iihvu money. We
II see niuny ways In wlik'h we would
like to use It. Hut when we have
money wu are nil upt to wIhIi It Juat a
little more. Who is to but what la the
exact ninount It Is rip li t that weahould
possess? Wishes, tuates, desires, dif
fer. We ourselves do not know what
our limit should be.
With too iiiui'h money ono la likely
to become conceited, to lose sympathy
and be hard hearted and more than
likely regardless of the menus ho takes
to add to his store. If he baa too little
be may lie envious of others, embitter
ed toward society, tempted to dlslum
esty, or there may lie real suffering
for need of what money can buy. No
one, not even the man hi a prison cell,
fun live In any degree of comfort with
out money It If necessary to life.
Yet there are niauy things of greater
value than money, thing! that money
cannot buy. that are necessary to our
welfare. Indue love of money la a
jiolson in the soul, eutliig out what la
of most worth We may pay too high
a price for its acquisition We should
Judge our desire for money by our
jiurposc, our motive In wantiiiK it.
Money Is a power for good or evil, as
we choose to use It Milwaukee Jour

THINK BIG THINGS.
Give Your Imagination Play and Try to
Live Up to Your Oraama.
lan't It true that the only thing which
makes It possible for us to perform the
dully drudgeries of life Is the hope
-for better things which blooms la our
hearts?
Hope Is romance. Ambition In ro
mance. All the fine, true Inspirations
of life are romantic. Romance leads
to achievement, unless It blossoms in
the mind of a las.v. shiftless creature
who is Incapable of action.
The man who leads a forlorn Impe Is
romantic. The hero who gives his life
fighting dread disease to which he
succumbs, but against which he has
insured humanity. Is romantic. Ro
mance la the thing which makes It
worth while for men to sacrifice ma
terial comforts and die on strange
fields of honor.
In a materialistic world, where we
have to deal with the facts of earning
our living and fighting for place and
position, the thing which lifts us above
blind Instinct la romance. Cherish
your dreams, for they give you a
glimpse of beauty and make you will
ing to struggle over cruel 'mountains
and harsh plains to the pot of gold at
the rainbow's end. Dreams give res
tjlte from dreary reality and urge on
to all that la big and fine.-Kxchange.

HEALTH AND HOUSE SCREENS
Ons Effeotlve Way to Foil the Fllee and
Moaquitoea.
It la a duty to protect the health of
the home and to tight any peril that
may menace It. You may have doubts
or become discouraged when It comes
to cleaning np and keeping so clean
that you won't have flies, or when you
try to keep them down by poisoning
or trapping, but there's one means of
protecting yourself against files that Is
safe and effective. This Is thorough
screening. Doors, windows sml porch
es, upstairs and downstairs, should lie
thoroughly screened In summer for the
comfort of the home and the health of
the family. Mosquitoes are a health
menace us well as files, mid thorough
screening protects ugulusl both.
A few years ago screening was con
slilered almost as InelTecilve as a
means of protecting agulusl tiles as
poisoning, disinfecting and a few fee
Me efforts at ('leaning up. None of
these methods prohibited Hies. They
apparently continued la come In their
usual large number. Lot the trouble
was we did not know how to propel li
use screens. Then only the klt hen
and dining room doors and window
were si rccned, while the doors and
windows of the oilier part of the house
were left unprotected
I-atei we found that not only all the
openings to the bouse must huve
screens In them, but thai they must
fit and lie made so fly light dial no fly
could enter. This was found more ef
feci Ue, But not until the porchea were
screened, particularly the bnck porch,
where most of the food was handled.
did we coma to know the real safety
and comfort that lay behind screened
doors, windows and porches. Ex

What an Infield Deubla Play Maana In
Time and Aotion.
Making first base, though more dra
xnatlc to watch. Is an uneventful ex
pedition compared with the trip to sec
ond. It takea a fast man to negotiate
the Journey In 8 8-ft seconds. N thrown
ball goes over 800 feet, and if a bailed
ball travels beyond the safe limits of a
single throw It must lie relayed by the
fielders. While you are watching the
outfielder scamper after the ball the
relay line la being swiftly formed In
the Infield. There could be no such
quick end accurate ncldlng of deep
outfield hits If the outfielder taking the
ball did not know that behind him was
ranged his line of relays ready to take
the ball the Instant he could turn and
throw It
To make a double p'-ir In the Infield
the shortstop, for example, must Held

fcil lie paasas the ball from ten to
twenty live feet to the second base

Mr to turn In :: 8-fi seconds It's a
close call and a case of uliliing the
fraction of a second. Imt wifh sharp
fielding the margin Is all on the side
of the fielders. The double play Is (he

first.
Fruit Acids aa Mouth Cleantere.
Unless the teetb are very badly dam
aged or eroded the acids of fruit, such
as that contained hi grapes, oranges,
lemons or apples, will be found to lie a
suisfactory mouth wash. The advice
of a dentist should he sought, how
ever, to determine the condition of the
teeth and to decide whether uu alka
Hue or acid wash Is preferable for the
individual case. Rut there Is no ques
tion, according to the Popular Sclcnco
Monthly, as to Ihe etlb acj of the food
acids in removing quickly and entirely
the mucous films that me the first

An apple eaten In the evening will
cleanse the teeth mechanically and
chemically and If followed by vlgoro'is
brushing will protect ihem from bac

Humor proves to be the saving clause
of many a distressing situation The

and flint Ihe march of human progress
has gone right along in the forwurd

occasional setbacks.
"Ijitigli and the wnrld laughs with
you." There Is humor In nearly every
situation If wo can only see It from
the right angle. Those of us who try
to smile In adversity snd think how
much more laughable It would be If
conditions were reversed at least feel
less uncomfortable over It and take
pleasure In looking forward to the

a soldier from starving for tweuty-four
hours.
The Rrlilsh troops as well as the
Dutch have a sausage made of ground
