WHY IS TABLECLOTH SACRCDI Its Natural Function la to Get Dirty, taut Woe to the Man Who Geta a Spot on It. “Why,” demanded the Occasional Grumbler, In the tone of one who not Otilj did not expect, but would not tolerate, ait answer, •‘should a clean itubleclutb be the most suered thing about a fairly average family household? A clean tablecloth H not lures or pennies, either or both. It’s Just a nig that has inanaged to get through the laundry in good shape. It can gc through again In just as good shape—or Just about as good; and. for that matter, if the worst came to the worst (us your wife generally expects It to) It could he replaced without disturbing the quotation on international ex change. “But a woman never thinks about that. To her a clean tablecloth is a thing to he worshiped, not a thing tc be eaten off of, and it never occurs to her that no magic can bless it with semipnternal cleanliness. It's got t<. get dirty sometime —why not now! Nothing to it! If you overflow tht gravy from the meat platter, which—through no fault of yours —has been tilled too full, or if you happen to decorate tye immaculate splendor of tht cloth with a nice red polka dot of cranberry juice, you’re in bad for the rest of the day, aud maybe longer. “Os course, when such things happen, the tablecloth la only serving the purpose for which it is put there, but that’s no excuse. ‘You ought to be more careful!’ This comes across the table in no uncertain tones. But it isn’t in the nature of news, because you've heard it plenty often before. “I say it is the business of a clean tablecloth to get dirty and get washed, and get dirty and get washed, and get dirty and get washed. But what I say doesn't make any difference. I get in so bad every time a new tablecloth is sprung at our house that in my love for the comfort of dirty ones I am becoming slovenly in my habits. So what 1 say is this: Either you ought to be affluent enough to have a clean tablecloth every meal, or two or three times a meal if necessary or desirable, or you ought to be humble enough to be content to eat off of an oilcloth-cov-ered table that can be swabbed off, without damage or distress of temper.”—lndianapolis News. How He Saved the Situation. It is w ith tremendous seriousness of I mind that the rookie officers do things. I They were preparing to leave for the i Mexican border, and as the rookie ] corporal marched his men up to the; truck he felt baffled. He could recall!

no order in the Infantry I'rill Regu-] lations for getting eight men aboard i a big gray truck in a military way. They were already In squad formation, so he cogitated that he couldn't . very well order them to “Full In.” as they were already all in; then on sec ond thought he imagined tluit “Fall in’ was Just the word, if he only mttrehetl them up to the truck and said it then. There would be nothing for them to do but fall into the truck. As they < reached the truck came the order from the rookie corporal, “Fall in !” Being, i as they thought, already completely fallen in. the men were nonplussed as ] to how to fall in any further. It didn't occur to them to tumble into the truck, and being tip against the wheels and thinking the corporal really meant "Halt!” they all came to standstill. The rookie “noncom" scratched his head and thought. Then he said: “Oh, hell! All aboard!” Says England Needs Repentance. Canon Newboit. pieaching tit St. Paul’s cathedral, said there was no good disguising the fact that England as a nation needed both repentance and hope. “Those of us behind the scenes in the moral life of the nation,”, he added, “know that in many ways things are as bad as ever they can be. and there are some things so bad that they cannot be alluded to with propriety from this pulpit.” In a plea for n strong public opinion against evil. Canon Newboit pointed out that if there were no demand there would be no supply. If youth would set Its face against immodest post cards and other evils, the supply

would cease. Much could be done by a few resolute men in purifying the atmosphere. “Let us,” he urged, “make sin disreputable. Let us make it harder for men to do wrong than to do right."—London Times. Crops. Tn Quebec the chief crop is hay. The' area devoted to its cultivation in 1915 wns estimated to be about 3.000,000 acres, and much of it was exported at I high prices. About 1.400.000 acres were t sown to oats, and the crop was an ex- > cellent one, both as to quantity and quality, high prices being realized for , the estimated yield of about 44.000,050 ; bushels harvested. Little barley is raised in Quebec, but the area of about 85,000 acres produced in the neighborhood of 312.001) bushels and brought good prices. The wheat grown In the province Is all of the spring wheat variety. The total crop In 191." was estimated nt 1,4-17,000 bushels, ar. increase of nearly 500,000 bushels ovet 1914. Open-Air Schools. The first open-air school wns opened In 1907. Tn 1910 there were but 111] such schools. Now it is estimated that i there are more than 20Q Qpetj-yir j classes for tuberculous ami ahemic children. Massachusetts has B*s of these. New York 29. Ohio 21. I It has been said that in ail cities there should he tin open-air school for every 25.000 of the nomilutiou. *1 ■■ ■> — —- • —’ ”— - ——■ ■
