THE MOTHER ON THE SIDEWALK. The mother on the sidewalk as the troopa are marching by . 2s the mother of Old Glory that Is waving tn the sky. Men have fought to keep it splendid, men have died to keep It bright. But that flag was born of woman and her sufferings day and night; *Tis her sacrifice has made it, and once more we ought to pray For the brave and loyal mother of the boy that goes away. There are days of grief before her, there are hours that she will weep.r There are nights of anxious waiting when her fear will banish sleep; Rhe has heard her country calling and has risen to the test, And has placed upon the altar of the turmoil of the fray The anguish of the mother of the boy who goes away. Ton may boast men’s deeds of glory, you may tell their courage great, But to die is easier service than alone to sit and watt, And I hail the little mother, with the tear-stained face and grave Who has given the Flag a soldier — she’s the bravest of the brave. And that banner we are proud of, with its red and blue and white Is a lasting tribute holy to all mothers’ love of right. (Copyright by Edgar AC Guest.)

SLEEPING IN A TENT SLEEPING tn a tent is a tried and tested method of getting close to nature and 'the domestic mosquito. For some reason which science has never been able to ascertain, the American mosquito operates at his best in a wall tent which has been swathed in netting. Many a man has left an air-tight chamber two flights ap, where he was free from mosquitoes and breath, and sought refuge in a tent out in the yard, onlAte arise in the morning decorated with the pink art craft of the nomadic mosquito and the treacherous red ant. A 7 by 9 tent which has been put «p by a sixteen-year-old son who was In a hurry to go fishing is an inviting place to sleep in during a rain storm. After it has rained for a while the

Owing to lack of space in the average tent, the spring cot is used as a substitute for beds. As nobody ever manufactured a cot that was over five feet long the result is that several of the male members of the family are obliged to allow their feet to hang over in a graceful parabola, or else curl up like a telescope fireladder and collect a full set of internal contracting cramps. No man ever slept on one of these cots and becalne the unwilling prey of every homefaring pinch bug without cursing the manufacturer to his latest breath. Tents are constructed of strong fibrous materials which will keep out everything but the wind, rain and maneating insects. When one thinks of the thousands of intrepid American families who go to roost every night in the summer in a dog tent, which is

LAST NIGHT’S DREAMS

’ WHEAT. NOTHING grows in the land of dreams, say the readers of destiny, more favorable to those who see it in their nightly visions than a field of wheat. To look upon a field of the growing grain, or -pref erably to walk in such a field, foretells a great financial prosperity. To those unmarried this dream Indicates success in love beyond their most sanguine expectations. Not only will they marry the person of their choice but the marriage will be a most happy one and their children will be handsome and well-behaved. All this in addition to the wealth the dream foretells. If you are engaged in a lawsuit a dreamstroll through a Wheatfield is a prognostication that the suit will be decided In your flavor. In fact you will ■ be successful in all your undertakings If you dream of wheat. There seems to be some occtflt connection between the wheat seen In dreams and financial matters which is 1 1 '

Peace

By GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS

IF YOU would look into the face of a strong man, search out him who is at Peace with himself. For it is during the time of Peace, both in the life of an individual and a Nation the growth and power accumulate. Live in Peace. Peace is always constructive. For where there is mutual co-operation between every one of your faculties, there is team work. And team work means that you get the biggest results from your combined efforts. Live in Peace. Live in with all about you. Where there is no Peace, there is no happiness and no time for taking up the things that count for the most. We are greatly Influenced and Inspired by the lives of people with whom we come in contact most. And if there is continual Peace among all, there is sure to be continual helpfulness among alt Live In Peace. Keep your mind in Peace. For the Mind hoyses the “Headquarters Staff” from which all the important orders In the game of Life proceed. Peace originates In the Mind. Let Peace rule your great Nervous System. Let Peace guide your day. For out from its application comes Power and Plenty.

liable to cave in every time the wind gets above middle C, he will not fear that we are losing those heroic qualities which shone at Bunker Hill and the late Chicago convention. The tent sleeper is an early riser, owing to the milkman, the iceman and the Insomniac rooster, and therefore the practice should be encouraged. (Copyright.)

wholly unconnected with those relations as they exist in the wheat-pit of .the/ produce exchange—and fully as hnich to be relied on as many grain speculators have found to their cost In fact speculation in dream wheat has a decided advantage over speculation in the ordinary kind in that you don’t have to put up any margin. To dream that you are eating wheat in the ear indicates that your profits in business are doubly secured. And if you are a farmer and dream that you are giving away wheat you-ere going to have a most plentiful harvest. There are only two things to be avoided by those dealing in dream wheat You must not dream that you are buying it; that is as unlucky as it is. lucky to dream that you are giving it away. Nor must you carry on your back any quantity, however small, of the phantom grain or you will suffer financial losses.

The SANDMAN STORY

FOX AND THE WITCH ’ BLACK FOX bad often heard that there were witches and fairies living somewhere In the forest, but he had never seen one and did not bother even to wonder where tpey had their home until one day be thought of something which would need the help of a witch. So one night he began to hunt and found the cave where an old witch and her black cat lived. They were dancing about a big kettle of something boiling over a fire outside the cave and for a second Black Fox thought of running away. But instead, he hid behind a rock and watched the strange pair. He

saw the old witch dip lnto4he boiling pot and take out a cupful of something and give it to the black cdt to drink, which changed the cat into a fox just like himself. "Ah, this is just the place I am looking for,” said Black Fox, running up to the witch, who was so startled by seeing two foxes she almost tumbled into the pot. “Madam, I want your help,” said Black Fox. "I want to have the power to change myself into a turkey whenever I like and the power to change back again also.” “What will you give me if I do this?” asked the greedy old creature.

CROSBY’S KIDS

Black Fox had not thought of that. He had always got everything for nothing so far and this was a new idea, but he saw at once that this time he would have to pay, so he asked her what she wanted. “As you have no gold to give,” said the witch, “I will be easy with you and ask oiily for a stone, but It must be taken from the bottom of the pool that Is In the middle of the forest and from no other place.” Black Fox almost laughed- at this. It sounded so easy. He promised atonce to begin the next night, bringing a-stone from the forest pool. Off he ran to the pool, and then he thought for the first time that this was no easy task for him to dive each night to the bottom and bring up a stone. “How is she to. know, I wonder, where the stone comes from?” thought sly Black Fox. “I am not going to risk my life every night getting a stone from that deep pool when there are plenty of stones right here on the ground.” The next night as he was on his way to the witch’s cave Black Fox picked up a stone from the ground and took it along. “Here is the stone from the bottom of the pool, wise Witch,” said Black Fox, “and now I beg of you be quick and give me the power I crave.” The old witch looked at the stone, and she knew at once Black Fox had tried to deceive her, but said not a word. Instead she went to the boiling kettle and gave him some of the fluid in a cup. “Drink 1” she said, and had Black Fox noticed the look in her eyes he would have dropped the cup and run. But he didn’t So he drank it and asked: “What shall I do next wise Witch?” “Wiser than you think,” muttered the witch under her breath, but she told Black Fox all that he had to do was to wish three times when he wanted to change into a turkey, and it would be granted. “But remember, this will only last for tonight. Tomorrow you must bring me another stone from the bottom of the forest pool and from no other place.” Black Fox promised, and off he trotted, laughing to himself that the old witch did not know the difference, and it would be easy to bring the stone each night (Copyright)

WHAT CALORIES ARE AS I have often said before, it isn’t how much you eat,-to reduce and increase flesh, but what sort of foods you eat. Certain foods contain much more fat building power than others. And the measure of such nourishment is the calorie. If you want to reduce or increase your weight, or if you want to keep your weight at a certain point, you must find the number of calories of food which you shotlid eat each day. To do this —weigh yourself accurately first- Find out what you should weigh, for your height and age, and multiply what you should weigh by 16. This figure Is the number of calories of food that you should eat to remain at that one weight If you are overweight eat less than this amount; if you are underweight eat more. Here Is the caloric value of some of our common foods: Calories. One'slice of bread TO One plate thick or cream 50up.....160 One potato, boiled or baked... 60 One teacup clear soup.... *• 20 1% ounces lean meat....TO % ounce fat meat .200 One egg ........... TO One glass milk .......150 One oyster 8 One apple 75 One banana ..100 One heaping teaspoon 5ugar....... 35 One tablespoonful ice cream...... 135 And so on. I have picked out a few of the commoner foods included In the daily diet From these you can see that If you eat less than half your usual amount of meat, if it Is-fat meat you still ak getting almost three times as muchWhttening nourishment as though.lt were lean meat No woman who wants to reduce should touch bacon, pork, ham, or such

Probably no "movie” actress has been able to command more favorable consideration from those who regularly visit the picture houses than hae charming Edith Storey. Her black hair and raven black eyes add to her strong face, which she uses most effec- -. tively in the portrayal of the "heavy* parts which she so frequently-'plays. She is of medium build and is regarded as pretty.
