Thus, when seeking the aid of a youngster to pick up the pins from the floor, let him or her use a horse-shoe magnet for the purpose. You can get such a magnet for ten cents. Developing Self-Control. Self-control may be developed in precisely the same manner as we tone up a weak muscle—by little exercises day by day. Let us each day do as mere exercises of discipline in moral gymnastics, a few acts that are disagreeable to us, the doing of which will help us in instant action in our hour of need—W. G. Jordon. Enforced Labor. "Providence has so ordered it that a state of rest and inaction, however it may flatter our indulence, should be productive of many inconveniences; that it should generate such disorders as may force us to have recourse to some labor as a thing absolutely requisite to make us pass our lives with tolerable satisfaction." — Edmund Burke.

His words or short sentences containing the same words repeated in different connection, are written on the blackboard, and he quickly learns to recognize these and to read at sight, first words in script, then in type.

HOW TO REDUCE. High Cost of Living During These War Times—What Every Woman Can Do. Look over your old clothes. You can never appreciate how much you can brighten and freshen up your wardrobe until you use Dy-O-La-Dye. Take some of your discarded blouses and dresses, dye them with some of the sixteen different colors of Dy-O-La, change the trimmings a bit and you will be astonished at the result. Dy-O-La is the modern dye made by skilled chemists who have removed all the difficulty from home dyeing in order that you may get perfect results. Old style dyes require a separate dye for each kind of goods. That makes trouble (as you probably know), for if you get a package for the wrong kind of material the goods are spoiled. You can't make such a mistake with Dy-O-La Dye. Take some garment that you have grown tired of or that you desire to color the fashionable shade of the moment, look over Dy-O-La Dye color chart at your nearest druggist or storekeeper select the one that pleases, and follow the printed directions. They will look as if they had just come from the dressmaker. And remember—the colors will be just as fast and durable as they are beautiful. They won't rub off or bleach out. Buy it of your nearest druggist or storekeeper, but if they have not the color you want we will send it to you on receipt of ten cents and at the same time include direction book and color chart. Dy-O-La Dye is made in Black, Blue, Navy Blue, Brown, Seal Brown, Light Green, Dark Green, Scarlet, Yellow, Orange, Cardinal Red, Pink, Purple, Dark Wine, Old Gold, Turkey Red, and from these sixteen colors a great variety of other shades and colors can be made. Dy-O-La Dye Company, 700 Sixth Ave., Des Moines, Iowa. Speaks From Experience. "Here's a substance which breaks down when exposed to light," remarked the chemist. "That must be the stuff reputations are made of," observed the politician—Widow. Pussy Cat Indicted. American foresters present a very strong argument against our friend, the pussy cat, as being by far the most destructive of animals, wild or tame, of the birds, and every forester considers the birds as the greatest friends of the trees. Without the destruction wrought by the birds on the insect enemies of the trees there would be after a generation no tree left for the insects would multiply fearfully and demolish every growing tree and plant 8.

Cheapened metallurgical processes will probably make available as new materials a number of metals now little known. Magnesium, for instance, is likely to become one of the common metals very soon. Indiana Good Orchardista Indians Good Ornament. The American apple owes much to the care of the Indian farmers, for the Indian was an able pomologist. It was not unusual 150 years ago for Indian orchards to have 1,500 trees, which all had been duly pruned and cultivated by the people we are prone to regard as nomadic savages. The peach and quince were also cultivated by them in later years. To the world the Indian introduced such fruits as the persimmon, the pawpaw, the pineapple and the Virginia strawberry. Many Candles Made. Though candles are not so generally used as they were before the days of mineral illuminating oils, gas and electricity; they still constitute an important article of manufacture. The candle is an ancient form of lighting. The word comes from the Latin word, "candere," which means to "glow." JOHN L. THOMPSON, Owner DES MOINES HOTEL 121 WEST FOURTH ST.

They are captured easily in fine mesh nets stretched over the ground and baited with grain, or in nets hung at night around their roosting places in ricks, hedges and ivy-clad walls. Also, the ground can be baited and a crowd of feeding sparrows laid low with a gun, using fine shot for the purpose. Getting Worried. Clarence constantly played with Marguerite, one of twins, until his parents teased him about his "girl." One afternoon Clarence's mother was sitting on the porch. Clarence, Marguerite, and a few other children were playing in the yard. Suddenly he left the group and coming to his mother said: "Mother, when you marry a twin, do you have to marry both of them?" "Alma Mater." The phrase "alma mater," as applied to colleges and universities, is said to have originated in the University of Bonn, Germany. A statue of the Mother of Christ—the alma mater, or beloved mother, stands over the doorway of that famous seat of learning. From it the phrase received its origin. When war was declared the entire Bell Telephone System—including our equipment and our employees—was placed at the service of the government. All the great military bureaucracy, training camps, cannonments, navy yards, munition plant facilities, female and warehouse have been connected by telephone. The Bell System has organized and furnished to the government fourteen complete battalions of trained telephone men who are either constructing, maintaining and operating telephone lines for the forces in France or are in mobilization camps ready to embark. A great number of our employees have also joined the national guard or other military organizations or have been drafted. These thousands of trained workers cannot be readily replaced.

Sparrows are often eaten by English country persons. They are captured easily in fine mesh nets stretched over the ground and baited with grain, or in nets hung at night around their roosting places in ricks, hedges and ivy-clad walls. Also, the ground can be baited and a crowd of feeding sparrows laid low with a gun, using fine shot for the purpose. Getting Worried. Clarence constantly played with Marguerite, one of twins, until his parents teased him about his "girl." One afternoon Clarence's mother was sitting on the porch. Clarence, Marguerite, and a few other children were playing in the yard. Suddenly he left the group and coming to his mother said: "Mother, when you marry a twin, do you have to marry both of them?" "Alma Mater." The phrase "alma mater," as applied to colleges and universities, is said to have originated in the University of Bonn, Germany. A statue of the Mother of Christ—the alma mater, or beloved mother, stands over the doorway of that famous seat of learning. From it the phrase received its origin. When war was declared the entire Bell Telephone System—including our equipment and our employees—was placed at the service of the government.

J. L. Lucas of 2 18 Sixth ave- nue, who was called to the pastoral work of the Bethel Baptist church of Perry, Iowa, January 1, 1918, they had no place that they could worship the Lord in, that they could call their own. However, he held his congrega- tion together by preaching to them a part of the time in the oper air, But by trusting in the Lord, with his few members and devoting much of his time there with prayerful attention, the Lord has brought us thus far out of Egypt and made us able on last Lord’s day to go into our cozy little place of worship, where we gave praises unto the Lord for His good- ness, and can now accommodate our visiting brothers and sisters and friends. Program for the day was as follows: Singing and praying, after which we devoted tur time to cove- nant meeting. Preaching began at 8 oclock. Subject, “Go Forward.” Exi- dious, 14th chapter, 15th verse. After which there were two additions to the church, one which was for baptism and one on Christian experience. fwitn OUR CHURCHES: MAPLE ST. BAPTIST CHURCH. Fast Maple Street. : Rey.
