LYRICS OF LIFE

By DOUGLAS MALLOCH

KDISON QUESTIONS THOMAS A. EDISON. who has a very low opinion of the Intellectuality of the average? coli;;' Mudent, hH come out with a neu Pet of questions, historical, political, geoxrnphlrnl and hdentlflc. The Wizard Is much too honest a man for anybody to surest that he deliberately Kot uj these posers for the purpose of humiliating his fellow citizens. So It may ! admitted that the wide ground covered by the queries represents his own Interest In all sorts of subjects having to do with human activities. Hut It Is doubtful whether or not ability to answer correctly all or most of these questions could be any test of the Intelligence of anybody, In college or out of It. For Intelligence and knowledge are very different things. It was once said of a distinguished man that he had n larger store of useless knowledge than anybody of Ids time. Mr. Edison would not admit that any knowledge could be useless. In fact he seems to take the attitude of the late Lord Maeaulay who wa In the habit of qualifying a statement ns to something that nobody knew anything about but himself, by raying "as every schoolboy knows." As a result "Macnulny's Schoolboy" became the proper definition of an Infant prodigy. Lord Kelvin was one of the most distinguished men of science of his time. Addressing Ids students at Glasgow University on one occasion he said that the great thing about the higher mathematics was that it

cmild be of no possible uo to anybody. Yet til fact that Kelvin and a couple of his friends, one In America and another In Europe, used to amuse themselves with these useless Investigation, is. In a way. an argument In favor of Mr. Edison. It goes to show that certain things are worth while even If no direct advantage Is to be derived from them. Old-fashioned schoolmasters were great believers In the Importance of facts, and n great part of their time was passed In getting them Into the minds of the young. Hut the modern schoolmaster goes about his business In a different way. He does not try to teach facts. He does try to teach general principles. It Is like the difference between the old geography and the new. The old dealt with the names of places, rivers, mountains and so on. The new deals with the effect of the physical shape of the earth's surface on the races scattered over It. A well-trained lawyer Is not one who carries all the cases around with him In his head. Hut he does know how to put his hand on anything- he wants. In the same way it is more important to be able to get at your facts than to know them. (Copyright.)

THE LITTLE VALLEYS. HE little valleys lie so far From where the busy cities are That men may live and men may

die And never find them where they lie, The little valleys near the sky. Shut in by plain and sturdy hills That feed the grasses with their rills. The little valleys do not seem A part of all life's roaring stream Hut Just a landscape and a dream. A few green acres, that Is all. The mountains like n garden wall In quiet peace to shut them In, To shut away the dirt, the din. And all the world of noisy sin. And. oh, I wish that weary feet Could find the little valleys sweet! And, oh, I wish the weary heart That feels the bruises of the mart Could find this little world apart! "God's gardens." so I call the vales Up yonder by the mountain trails; And you who cry for heaven's aid You will not find it, I'm afraid. Where man his busy world has made. You must come tramping over hills. Come follow singing whip-poor-wills, Must 'journey long and clamber high To where God's hidden gardens lie The little valleys near the sky. (Copyright.)

SCHOOL DAYS

IIEKE are not enough trained

nurses to meet the demand. On . the other hand nurses are saying '

that they cannot make both ends meet unless their pay is Increased. Many women who might take up the work ! are deterred because of this fact. To meet this, the alumni societies i of the training schools are combining j with a view to settle on a proper ad- ' VHhce. The new rate of pay would be j $G a day for llMi'uir periods, and J?."0 a week for contagious cases. Nurses are going to be asked for by I communities to do public work. Dis- j tri t visiting and prenatal care at the j expense of the community, where j circumstances demand, w ill be put in-' to the hands of trained nurses. It will be worth doing, and sure to appeal to certain types of women who i like nursing, but who do not care for ;

private or hospital work. A girl who wants to study for this profession should select her hospital with care. She will have to expect to do hard and disagreeable work. Hut in a number of institutions the eighthour schedule is being adhered to, more salary Is being paid, and other matters that have given rise to discontent are being Improved.

EVERYDAY SALADS. A MOST acceptable salad may be made of a few leftovers if the combination is good. Many a good bit of food Is thrown away for lack of knowing how to use it wisely. Potato and Corn Salad. Take a pint or less of cold boiled potatoes cut in half-inch cubes, add one cupful of green corn cooked on the cob, a bit of chopivd green pepper if at hand, a little scraped onion to give it zest and enough well seasoned dressing to moisten, adding salt and pepper to season.

llecause of its signiticauce, the (Iroek word from which Eunice was derived, was taken over in early times by the Christians, who adored names of happy augury. The names coming from this favorite word are almost beyond enumeration, but curiously, only a few of them have survived to modern times. Eunice is one of these latter. It made its appearance as Eunike one of the tlfty Nereids. Her name straightway became popular among Greek women, but it remained for Eunice, the Jewish mother of Timothy to give it vogue in the days of early Christianity. English lovers of Hlble

Some More Truths. "yyOULD you use a steam shovel to move a pebble? Certainly not. Implements are built according to the work they have to do. Would you use a grown-up's remedy for your baby's ills4? Certainly not. Remedies are prepared according to the work THEY have to do. All this is preliminary to reminding you that Fletcher's Castoria was sought out, found and is prepared solely as a remedy for Infants and Children. And let this be a warning against Substitutes, Counterfeits and the Just-as-good stuff that may be all right for you in all your strength, but dangerous for the little babe. All the mother-love that lies within your heart cries out to you: Be true to Baby. And being true to Baby you will keep in the house remedies specially prepared for babies as you would a baby's food, hairbrush, toothbrush or sponge.

Are You Prepared? A doctor in the house all the time would be a good idea. Yet you can't afford to keep a doctor in the family to keep baby well or prevent sickness. But you can do almost the same thing by having at hand a bottle of Fletcher's Castoria, because it is a wonderful remedy for indigestion, colic, feverishness, fretfulness and all the other disorders that result from common ailments that babies have. Fletcher's Castoria is perfectly safe to use. It is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric, Drops and Soothing Syrups. Children cry for Fletcher's Castoria, and mothers recommend it because they have found it a comfort to children and a mother's friend. If you love your baby, you know how sweet it is to be able to help baby when trouble comes. You cannot always call upon a doctor. But doctors have nothing but good to say of Fletcher's Castoria, because they know that it can only d o good that it can't do any harm and they wouldn't want you to use for baby a remedy that you would use for yourself.

Do you discriminate at the dining table or are yon thoughtless?

' In thousands of homes, a "line" is drawn at the breakfast table. Tea or coffee is served for "grown-ups" and Postum for children. But some parents do not discriminate. Cafieine and tannin, the injurious contents cf coffee and tea, seriously retard the development of the delicate nerve tissues In children. Consequently, instead of rich, satisfying Postum, children are over stimulated by the drugs in tea and coffee; and so may grow up irritable and nervous. Any doctor can tell you that this is a great evil and should be corrected. Although some parents feel a certain justification for the personal indulgence in coffee, yet the harm to them may be equally serious. It may take a little while longer for the drugs in coffee and tea to affect

an older person, but in many cases the nervous system and allied bodily functions will become weakened. The surest way to avoid such possibilities is to quit coffee entirely and drink Postum instead. The change permits you to get sound, restful sleep. Postum 13 the wellknown, meal-time beverage. Like thousands of others you will like it because, in flavor, it ia much like a high-grade coffee. Do away with the dis tinction at the table. Serve delicious Postum, piping hot, to all the family. One week's trial and it is likely that you'll never return to tea and coffee. Postum comes in two fcms: Instant Postum (in tins) made ir.suntly fn the cup b the addition cf boiling water. Pcstum Cereal (in packages cf larger bulk, for those rho prefer to cuke the drink while the meal is being prepared) made by boiling for 20 rninutes.
