NOTICE. Gladbrook. UNFINISHED WORK. At the end of the day When my work is done, And I lay me down to rest, Can I truly say, with a heart sincere That I've really done my best; Can I give account, Of the time which I spent, The hours and minutes too, Or have I only been content With what I had to do? At the end of my life When my work is done, And I go to my last long rest, When I give account to my waiting Lord, Have I really done my best? Have I used the talents given me In the way my Lord has planned, Have I always been willing and ready, To reach out a helping hand? Have I done the task, Which was given me Without a thought to shirk? Or will it be, when life is done I have left "unfinished work?" Mrs. Mae Lewis, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

The strings of blue beads that the modern girl dons to ward off bronchitis are merely new versions of the strings of blue beads worn in Egypt 1600 years before Christ to keep diseases of the chest at bay, says a writer in the Philadelphia North American. The tiny sealed bottle of mercury which she carried to ward off rheumatics had its prototype in bottles of a strange elixir used in India 80 centuries and more ago. More Than Enough Is Too Much. To maintain health, a mature man or woman needs just enough food to repair the waste and supply energy and body heat. The habitual consumption of more food than is necessary for these purposes is the prime cause of stomach troubles, rheumatism and disorders of the kidneys. If troubled with indigestion, revise your diet, let reason and not appetite control and take a few doses of Chamberlain's Tablets and you will soon be all right again.

"I personally began with the idea that people might be hired and good work gained from them," Julian S. Carr, Jr., in System, writes. Mr. Carr, who is president of the Durham Hoslery mills, goes on: "I thought in my youth that rules made order and that a certain military discipline was essential; that it was foolish to humor people and all that, nor was I going to recognize certain local traditions about days on which no work should be done. For instance, I made up my mind that quitting work to go to the circus was not in accord with the best industrial practices. "The first circus came to town about three months after we took charge of the mill, and I was keen for the test. We posted positive orders that the regular hours of work were to be observed on that day, and that any person who went off to the circus would be discharged. The full force reported as usual on the morning of circus day, and I went home to dinner confident that at last we had brought order. It gave me a bit of a pang, for I should have liked to go myself! "But duty is a stern master, and reflecting on that fact I hurried back to the mill. Noticing a crowd in a side street, I stopped to look. It was our whole mill force wending its merry way to the magic tent! I went along myself, and resolved that, although abstract rules were well enough, a bit of common sense and knowledge of human nature might profitably be blended with them. How much of our labor trouble generally is due to enforcing countless rules with military exactness?" MANIFOLD USES OF THE OX Animal May With Truth Be Said to Be Most Useful of, All the Domestic Animals. Of all our domestic animals the ox is certainly the most useful, writes Henril Fabre in Our Humble Helperm. During its lifetime it draws the cart in mountainous regions, and works at the plow in the tillage of the fields; furthermore, the cow furnishes milk in abundance. Given over to the butcher, the animal becomes a source of manifold products, each part of its body having a value of its own. The flesh is highly nutritious; the skin is made into leather for harness and shoes; the hair furnishes stuffing for saddles; the tallow serves for making candles and soap; the bones, half calcined, give a kind of charcoal or bone black used especially for refining sugar and making it perfectly white; this charcoal, after thus being used; is a very rich agricultural fertilizer; heated in water to a high temperature, the same bone yields the blue used by carpenters; the largest and thickest bones go to the turner's shop, where they are manufactured into buttons and other small objects, the horns are fashioned by the maker of small wares into snuff boxes and powder boxes; the blood is used concurrently with the bone of black in refining sugar; the intestines cured, twisted, and dried, are made into strings for musical instruments; finally, the gall is frequently turned to account by dyers and cleaners in cleaning fabrics and partially restoring their original luster. Curious Clubs. The recent announcement that an English "Bald-Headed Men's club" had just met—the first time since 1916, owing to the war—serves to recall one or two odd clubs. "The Fat Man's club," for instance, was known to exist in Paris in 1897. Its heaviest member turned the scale at 336 pounds and the chief qualification for membership was to weigh at least 220 pounds. About this time there also met in New York the "Society of the Pointed Beards"—a most exclusive club. No one was eligible unless he had a carefully cultivated beard of natural growth and terminating in one symmetrical point half an inch from the apex of the chin. At two club dinners in 1808 even the celery was served with its leaves trimmed to a point. Thomas a Kempla "Here in the service of the Lord Thomas a Kempis lived and wrote 'The Imitation of Christ,'" are the words that appear on the foot of the monument to the author recently erected at Zwolle. In a gentle spot, surrounded by ancient oaks and firs, and with shrubbery around, this monument stands on a hill which was presented for the purpose by the van Royen family. The monument is in the shape of a cross with the monogram of Christ and the symbols of the four evangelists. The inscription on the main part is "In Cruce Calus." Many subscriptions were received for the monument as soon as the plan was suggested in 1916. Queen Wilhelmina was among those who gave. Coating Iron With Lead. Lead as a substitute for tin as a coating for sheet iron, iron wire and wire gauze was strongly advocated at the Buffalo meeting of the American Chemical society by Charles Baskerville, who exhibited some specimens of a process worked out by him. Iron shingles, so treated, have been exposed to the weather in a roof test for two years and eleven months and show no signs of rust. They may be bent without cracking the coating and exposing the iron. Chicken wire so treated is quite as good as the galvanised and cheaper to produce. THE BYSTANDER DIME NOVELS COMING BACK In Eighteen Months "Nick Carter" Has Had Sales That Have Been Record Breaking. Nick Carter has come into his own again. The king of the "paperbacks" has made a record-breaking return to popularity. About eighteen months ago his sales began to mount steadily until the entire supply of Nick Carter books was exhausted, says the Sun. His return to fame was unexpected. It was not the result of an advertising campaign, for the publishers of the paper-bound books do not advertise. They depend instead for the sale of their books on the lists printed in the back pages of each volume. And Nick Carter was not the only member of the "paperback" tribe to return. All the old favorites—Laura Jean Libbey, Bertha M. Clay, Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth and Augusta J. Evans—have "come back" surprisingly. Five years ago everyone was willing to predict that the movies had killed the production of cheap books. Thrills could be absorbed more quickly from the screen than from the printed page—and the price was the same. Publishers of the paper books are uncertain whether their old reading public has tired of the motion picture or whether a new class of readers has arisen. Of one thing they are certain, though, the demand for the 10 and 15-cent book has increased fourfold. If it were not for the increased cost of production these publishers would be reaping the harvest of their lives. Stories of American life—as seen by Bertha M. Clay and other writers of her class—and detective stories are most in demand. Fortune-telling books and letter writers also have a large stendy sale. "Dream" books were never so popular as they are today, their publishers say. That the Empress Eugenie is not prone to brood sentimentally over the past is evidenced by an incident that occurred some years ago. She visited Windsor castle, a palace in which in the golden days of the empire she was received as an honored guest. Those who accompanied her on this second visit hovered near her, fearing that she would be overcome with the contrast between the past and the present, especially when she viewed the apartments fitted up for her use and which not been changed. But it was merely her artistic sense that was offended.

In England women will not be given permission to serve as pilots on passenger airplanes. An official of the air ministry gave the reason for this decision to a writer on the London Sketch as "physical disability as well as nerves," declaring that women's nerves are much more likely to give way than men's. "I think there are no women in this country capable of passing the air ministry's test. If one does succeed, however, she will be permitted to fly her own private machine, but whether she will be allowed to take a friend with her is a point that remains to be decided. "In any case women will be barred as pilots of passenger-carrying machines."
