an economically prepared meal.
Nn woman should dare go Into a
home of her own who is not willing to
study the value of each food and
its ability to supply nutriment.
Do we realize that often all a child
sees of some members of his family is
t the table. A simple well-set table.
and a well-cooked, and served meal Is
a strong factor IA the education of a
child. The table conversation hy wise
parents may be ted Into channels of
Infoi'tnntlnn and a storing of valuable
knowledge. The petty gossip that is
heard at so many tables Is not raising
the ideals of the sensitive boy and girl.
.et the table talk be educative. It
will mean that some one must steer
ihe conversation. Some of our great
est men have learned to express them
selves by being alloed to give tiieir
opinions when there Is a discussion at
the table. Happy talk aids digestion;
avoid all unpleasant conversation and
correction, thus the food will have nn
opportunity of .doing its work in the
body.
These things are Important, and the
more they are thought about the
greater importance We will put upon
the value of a well-plnnneiymd served
meal, with the happy Atmosphere of

WHEN RAILROADS WERE NEW
Engineers In Charge of Construction
Work Had Ideas That Now Seem
a Little Peculiar.
Light on itrange Ideas of pioneer
railroad builders was thrown by Kd
ward S. Jouett, general solicitor gf.
the L. & N In n talk before the lUr
tary club nt Louisville.
"The Lexington-Frankfort line," said
he, "wns built with longitudinal stone
sills capped with a strip of iron, and
the numerous curves, which you have
all noted, are said to have been pur
posely Introduced upon the theory that
they were an advantage In enabling
the conductor the more easily to see
the rear of his train. The coaches
were two-story affairs women and
children below and men above and
the motive power wns nudes to tjc
top of the hill above Frankfort. Tpo
train was let down the hill Injftthe
city upon nn incline operated by a
stationary engine.
"You may be Interested, in passing,
to lenrn that with the exception of a
few miles near New Orleans, which
antedated It about a week, this line
from Lexington to Frankfort Is the1
oldest railroad In the United States
south cf the Ohio and west of the
Alleglienles. It was chartered In 1830
very early In railroad history, when
we remember that the first railroad
In the United Slates was built In IS'Jii.
and the first locomotive engine was
operated in 1K0."
ROYAL PRINCE IS

Ml
Home. 't he Oazzutta dl Torino, tell
ing about the count of Saleinl, cousin
of the king of Itnly, reculls how he
fought In the beginning of the war in
Val d'Assu under the false name of
Maximilian Mombello. Nobody, not
even the officers, knew at first that the j
vigorous youngster, so good and mild
Of temperament, so magnificent In his
reckless courage, was I'rlnce Umberto,
count of .Saleinl.
The hour of danger found him enlm. I

Alpine. His own comrades, always I
tried In t tie most daring feats, were i
amazed at his deeds of valor. When
they praised him Corporal Mnxlmllinn
Mombello wcld answer with a proud
: smile: "I hut I am a special corpo
i nil." His manner quickly won 111 in the
friendship and favor of all, from the
soldiers to the officers.
Count Starts a School.
The count of Salem! found a way,
even under tire, to start a school for
the Illiterate. The pupils attended will
ingly, for the instructor, Corporal
Maximilian Mombello, wns in truth
genial patient to a fault, happy,
learued and, above all, generous In re
warding the studious at the -close of
the lessons. A draught of wine, n por
tion of bread were ready for all in his
trench ration. His greatest joy was
on the arrival of the mail In the eve
ning. If the enemy permitted, he de
voted himself to reading and writing
letters. He was often surprised, moved
or disturbed by the letter he received
or sent a letter from his mother or to
his mother.
One day, however, It leaked out
among the officers that Mombello was
the Prince Snleml of royal blood. It
was passed along to the stupefied sol
diers. "What?" they asked him. "Are
you a royal highness?" "Yes," the
count answered. "What of It?" Tlie
answer reassured the soldiers.
Promoted to Captaincy.
Although Maximilian Mombello came
to be known agaiu as the count of
Snleml, a prince of the royal bouse of
Savoy, he remained their corporal ; and
he continued to be till the day when
he was promoted, to become later a
lieutenant and a captain of bombar
diers. He died from pneumonia nt the front
among his devoted soldiers Just be
fore the end of hostilities. He bad
just been promoted and commanded,
a bombarding battery of the army of
the Grappa.
Although a son of Prince Amndeo
and the Princess Letitin of Savoy-Bo-nnparte,
the young count, who wns
twenty-seven, enlisted at the outbreak
of the war as a simple soldier In the
Catania light cavalry. He was In the
war zone for three years, took part in
several important actions and won a
silver medal of valor by heroic conduct.

RUINED BY SHIPYARD PAY
High Wages Have Disastrous Effect
en Immature Boys of Seattle,
Says Doctor,
Seattle, Wash. High wages as a re
sult of the great demand for labor In
Seattle's shipyards have had n disas
trous effect on the youth of the city,
according to Dr. Lillburn Merrill, chief
diagnostician of the Juvenile court
here. He says:
"The most significant fact observed
during the last year Is the bad social
eiTect high wages have had on Imma
ture boys of fourteen to seventeen
years of age, who have been employed
in shipyards. Time and again we have
been appealed to by fathers and moth
ers who have lost control of their sons
and investigation has shown that the
trouble started when the boys received
their first big pay check."
