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

I there are pears to gather:" "A good

"When young do not go In Canton;"
"No needle has a point at both ends;"
"A big chicken does not eel small

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

that time until May 23 of this year was
either a civil or an Interned prisoner.

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

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

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.

"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

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

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

Packers' Profits
Large or Small
Packers' profib look big
when the Federal Trade
Commission reports that four
of them earned $140,000,000
during the three war years.
Packers' profits look small
When it is explained that
this profit was earned on
total sales of over four and
a half billion dollar or
only about three cent on
each dollar of sales.
This is the relation between profits
and sales:
