CHRISTIAN SCIKNTISTH All ALL IN SKRVICK Christian 8rUMico camp welfare work N now Im'Iiik curried on in for ty five army nml navy -aniiH in (ho United Ktutrs uiulrr direction of the Chri.sttuu Science War Relief and Camp Welfare Committee of The Kirst Church of Christ, SciontlHt. in BohIoii. 'I'here are at proHont about Hoventy men and fifteen women en gaged in this work, the women ser ving mainly as welfare room atten dants. Conducted at first Independently, the camp wellare work has merged with the war relief work which the Christian Scientists were doing In for eign countries before the United Ktutes entered the war. Kor both these purposes about one million dol lars have been raised. The aim of the Christian Science camp workers Is to be as helpful as possible to all men in the camps, whether or not they are Chrlsiun Scienists, and particularly to give assistance which may not be available nt the time or place through any of tho other camp welfure agencies. A feature of this phase of the work Is an arangemeut for keeping soldiers and sailors In close touch with their relatives. Cooperating with tho committee In Hoston. there Is a Christian Science camp welfare committee in each state The committee In the home slate of a soldier or sailor cooperates by mall and telegraph with the committee of the state in which he is camped or stationed to form a direct and cons tant link between the soldier or sail or and his relatives. Thereby the relatives are quickly made acquain ted with needs of their boy in the service, and he is provided with an avenue of quick communication with his home. This linking of home and camp, combined with the personal attention of the Christian Science worker, in the camps, has frequently been the means of changing a soldier's outook from one of gloom to one of Joy, and not infrequently it has proved to be the means of relieving relatives of financial embarassiuent, the com mittee in the home state making loans for use by the relatives until their boy In camp should be prepared to forward money to them. The net result, for which the Chris tlan Science committees and camp workers have received many commen dations, has been a noticeable raising of the morale of many men in the ser vice and the development of a better feeling at home regarding the partic ipation of heir boy In the service. The camp workers say there Is an increased wilingness among the com manding offices and surgeons to al- ' low Chlslan Science treatment for those men who ask for it, and many Christian Science healings have been recorded. Recently, two requests for Chistian Science services in hospital wards were received by camp workers from medical nurses v.-ho had ob served he beneficial effects of Chris tian Science treatment. In or near -numerous camps, the Christian Science committee.? have erected substantial buildings, with quiet places for reading and writing, and other buildings are in course of construction. A light touring car has been added to the equipment of the Christian Science camp workers at each caosp to be used whenever and wherever possible In assisting the men. POPULAR PROVERBS IN CHINA Many Sayings There Remarkably Like Those That Are Common In the West. Some of the Chinese proverbs re semble nurs, such as "Too many cooks spoil the dog" and "A man must heal bis own drum and paddle his own canoe." Uut It la not necessary to as sume that by any process they were copied from English proverbs. Similar sh.vIiiks arise In different countries largely bernuse the human mind works everywhere In the same way nnd has much the same material to work on. Of proverbs (bat are distinctly Chinese (he following may be taken as samples: "Heaven Is nw.'iy Up In the sky, but Soocliow ami HnnfCnOW an here below;" "Change jotiiobl nntur' or you will be up a tree;" "U ben on are eiy Mgf do not (0 to law, nnd when you are very hungry do not make verses;" "An avaricious heart Is like a make trying l swallow an He pliant;" "A boat straighten! when it j :ets o a bridge;" "A deaf prlesl can bear a hen crow;" "After a typhoon I there are pears to gather:" "A good drum does not need a heavy stick;" "When young do not go In Canton;" "No needle has a point at both ends;" "A big chicken does not eel small rice;" "The load does not carry the ass;" "A stone lion does not fear the rain;" "A crar.y man hopes the heavens will fall, but a poor mini hopes for a riot." GREAT IDEA FAILED TO WORK Might Have Been All Right But for Unfortunate Happening Inventor Could Not Foresee. The poets and others, mainly others. Nave sung of the virtues and bleating of sleep. No clnss of men guards sleep as carefully as the doctors. Some one, with nil the wise theories of advertising, decided to mall his lit tie call for business to the medical men of Indianapolis. He spent a large sum getting up some real snappy stuff lie figured out all the psychology and personal appeal, with all of the big "I" Muff be could, and then some, lie laid plans to reap a harxest. He did not. His good money went to the print er. More went to I'ncle Sam for stamps. This wise ml niter put a special delivery stamp on each of his letters. Result: The doctors of Indianapo lis were awakened about 1 a. m. to sign for a bunch of printed matter Rvery doctor seen says he lore up the booklet and with curses deposited the- unread pieces In the vn -.! paper basket or elsewhere. With groans and harsh words the medical men went bnck to bed. It was n great Idea. Indianapolis News. Learn Something Every Day. In their antipathy to England and to everything Kngllsb, or supposedly Kng llsh. the Oermana have apparently un dertaken to eliminate from the spoken and written Teutonic language of the day all words of known or suspected Kngllsb origin. There comes at first hand this episode reported by Prof. . Sefton Delmer, who was .Instructor of English in the Uolveralty of Berlin when the war broke -out and who, from that time until May 23 of this year was either a civil or an Interned prisoner. Wishing to make Mv uncomfortable at a police station owe day a poitler frau, who knew his nationality, rebuked her depnrting companion for using the word adieu. "Ach was," she called lifter her, "adieu sagl man uleht nwlir. Ias 1st Kngllseh." Pleasure. Of course we are entitled to It. And we should take great pains to se cure the fullest measure of It. So much may be taken for granted; the Important question Is. when and where shall we And pleasure? Sir Walter Hag shot gave his opinion that business Is much more amusing than pleasure. I suppose be meant that a man who la In love with his work will get more real "fun" out of It than was ever gath ered In so-called "places of amuse ment." Many of our pleasures do little more for us than kill time. They do not kill care, for It comes back again the next morning. He Is a wise man who more and more learns to get his amusement out of the serious work be Is doing. Then If he takes an occa sional hour or day, for sport or the "passing show," he will come back to his real task In life to nod bis real en tertainment. What finer art than that of having a good time In the thing which one baa to do? Immensely wiser and more profoundly philosophical than the practice of planning for the good time afterward. Oeorge Clerke Peck. Kit Rations for Officers. Those German demigods, the officer of the army, are now on clothing ru tlons like ordinary Mortals. They will henceforth only be able to sis-ure new uniforms on clothing cards. The new regulation prescribes Jusl how exten sive n wardrobe an officer may have, nnd he will not be permitted to array himself In excess of Its limitations. The only special concession o officers is that they are not required, as civil ians are, to declare how much cloth ing they already possesa. Cleaned Out "I want yon to clean my shop win dow," mM Mr. Jenkins to Muggins, the village champion window cleaner. "Ho yon think you can do It while I'm away for an hour or Bo?" "Oh, yes; glad to do It," replied Muggins. And while Mr. .lenklna waa out he aet to work with a will and completed the Job with a vengeance. "Muggins." said Jenkins entering the shop and glancing at the cleaner's worlc with approval, "you've done the Jot) well. Why, there Isn't a speck or scratch to be seen on the whole pane. Here's your money and an extra shil ling." "I'm glad you're satisfied with It." murmured Muggins pocketing the money somewhat nervously, "Of course I am. Why, I can hardly believe there Is any glass there at all. It looks so clear." "Well, there ain't," said Muggins, moving toward the door. "Me and the ladder fell through Die glass Just after we started." London Tlt-Hlts. WORRY OVER SMALL THINGS Jape Can Tell Provinces by the Roofs. Foreign visitors to Japan never cense to admire the Ingenious way In which the thatched roof Is treated. It Is sold tha a well built roof will last fiO years. The remarkable feel are about the thatched roof In Japan Is the fact that each province has Its own style, so that one familiar with the va rious provinces might land In the coun try from an airplane and easily tell Light Work.

"One of tlie foollshest things we mor tnls do," said Mr. Unilobar, "Is to make mountains out of molehills. "Half the worry and distress In the world comes from this unfortunate bnblt. It breeds distrust, creates hard feeling, breaks up friendships, makes discord In, families, It makes misery nil around, and all this In nine bun dred and nlnety-nlne cases out of a thousand for just nothing. "The commonest form of molehill Is the spoken word. Somebody says some thing to us Hint we think Is lnean, or that we think Is suspicious, or lack Ing In appreciation, or twitting or sar castic, and right away we begin to brood over It, to let It rntiMc In us, to magnify it, to make a mountain Of It. "It Is nt least an ev n chance that tho little thing of that sort that dis tresses us to was never niennl that way at all. Itut suppose It was meant to be sharp. What of II?

"Rut why should w make moun tains of such molehills, of things that would have been forgotten the next moment If we did not dwell on them, keep thinking of them nnd brood over them until finally we magnified them Into great grievances?" Grasshoppers Ply to Sea. The grasshopper would seem to have nothing In common with the seagull, yet grasshoppers have been picked up In swarms nt sen, 1,900 miles from tho nearest land. The African grasshop per has been known to cross the Red and Mediterranean K,.ns In destructive numbers, and even to fly to the Canary Islands. For the most part these grasshoppers are of a migratory spe cies (Hchlstoeern Inrtnrlen) noted for Its great flights.
