When you eat a SDoonfu) of honey, you have very little idea as to the amount of work and ttavel necessary to produce it To make a pound of clover honey bees must take the nectar from sixty-two thousand clover blos soms, and to do this requires two million seven hundred and; fifty thousand visits to the blossoms by the bees. In other words, in order to col lect enough nectar to make ode pound of honey a bee must go from hive ' to flower and back again two million seven hundred and fifty thousand times. Then, when you think how farV these bees sometimes fly in search of these clover fields, often one or two miles distant from the hive, you will begin to get a small idea of the number of miles one of the industrious little 'creatures must travel in order that you may have a' pound of honey, Exchange; M: : v :! iC 'iJ, ) w;- Drives Out Malaria,1 Builds lp System The Old Standard reacral itreottlienliie tonic, OROVS'S TASTELESS chUI TQNK), drfvyftf Iiterl,carlchea th bled.nd bBiklirpUie.'.

Tbe Good Samaritan. - Once upon a time two men cam to a certain city which had no daily newspaper One of them, soon after his ar rival, walked into a barber hop and picked up the unpretentious sheet into which the editor ':s putting all of his time and all of the ability tnat he could spare from the arduous matter of look ing for enough business to keep his publication from going into the hands of a receiver. The newcomer glanced hastily and contemptuously over tbe front page and then Without so mpch as a glance at the editorials he flung the paper ; down ; and looking , around with dramatic importance inquired, "Ii that the best that Thistown can do in the way of a newspaper?" . The other, who had reached Thistown on the same day, later came into the barber shop and picked up the same paper. After glancing over the front page he turned to the editorials and reed them. When he had got his shave he walked around to the news paper office and. subscribed to the paper. Two or three months later he called the editor tip on the phone and to give him a hews item. "Other items have come tinder my observation from time to time, "he said, "but I have not been able to remember to send them in. I shall be glad to have you call me up every day or two to see if I have anything new for you. Possibly I may be of help to you in youreffort to get all the home hews that's fit to print be fore it appears in the out of town dailies." After thanking him, the editor hung ; up the receiver. And as soon as he got time be wrote this editorial. And the query ' which be put to his readers at the end of it was this: v , . Which of those two men would jr4ou like to have snore to . Your- S " T-wn?-?EIL: -sF"wf-,,feke iviuvw Sit and Walk Erect to Enjoy Good; Heaiiu. The way a man carries him self hns so much to do with his health that correct posture is now beint? emphasized ss one of the principal guideposts to good health. It is now generally be lieved that a person wh culti vates , a cramped, unnatural, slouching position cannot main tain 'a': natural, healthful body Therew ill likely be brought to b-ar. some undua- pressure in some part t f the body that will hinder the onrans in performing their natural functions and if persisted in will cause deformity Life long deformities and chronic maladies have been known to develop from incor rect posture that became a habit in childhood. Round and stoop ed shoulders and laterul curva ture of the spine are deformities largely brought about by sitting, standing or walking incorrectly. Such slouching attitudes as sprawling in a chair, or sitting on the backbone rather than sit ting uptight, or hunching the arms and shoulders when sitting at a desk, or resting the weight on one leg while standing rather than on two, or 6lumDing while walking which means to carry rounded shoulders with the head thrust ' forward, the stomach thrust out and the arms hanging loosely in front of the body, are the main errors of posture and the main causes of deformities. To ai?tand and walk erect is to have correct posture. To do this Is to sit well back in tbe chair and give support to the small of the back. If at a desk or table sit close, and high enough for the arms to rest on the desk without pushing uo the ehoulders. When it is nec3i3ry to Iph" over a desk, incline the body hv bending at the hips rath er than at the waist. In ritand ing or walking set the shoulders back and keep the chest high and forward. Keep the atom ach in, the chin in also, and the neck pressed back against the collar. Keep the feet straight in walking with the toes turned neither in nor out Prefer to be I .U.-fcl A.L ' ,U.. - citiieu cucni rawer iubu slouch A cnestyv . person enjoys better health than a "slouch" and looks better.

When your wife buys expensive goods for a dress, she has too much sense to let somebody experiment on it who has never made a dress before and she is only going to wear the dress a few months. Yet farmers will often buy ex pensive material to build a house and then let some jack-leg car penter put it together in defiance of all lawB of taste or beauty - and the family has to endure it for fifty years. When farmers begin to consult architects about building houses, the country will be looked upon as having occupants of . greater taste and culture; and with pret tily built houses, farms and yards will be made prettier to corres pond with the houses. Even if you are, going to erect only a four-room house, get plans from an architect And be sure to have plenty of porch.

He seems to think thex charch id the gr jateat institution in the world." "Perhaps he i right. But I reree with von that we cai't al ways be giving to the church. There are othcr things -that we rau.-it think of. I am afraid our minister is visionary rather than practical." The first speaker was a wealthy business man and the second was a successful lawyer. Both men had very large incomes; they lived not only in comfort but in luxury, and denied them selves nothing that they felt it desirable to have. They were church members and gave "gen erously;" but neither of them really knew the meaning of the word "sacrifice." A few months after this con versation, the two men joined a party that was going round the world. Before they started. their "vision ry" minister earnestly 86k c-d them to observe and to re member any unusual and inter esting things that they might see in the missionary countries thruugh which the party was to travel. The men promised carelessly, perhaps to do so. In Korea, one day, they saw in a field by the Bide of the road a boy pulling a rude plough, while sn old -man held the plough handles and directed it The law yer was amused, and took a snap shot of the scene. "That's a curious picture! I suppose they are very poor," be said to the missionary who was interpreter and guide to th J par ty. "Yes," was the q iiet reply. "That is the family of Cii Noui. When the church was being built thev were eager to give same thing to it, but they had no money; so they sold their only ox and gave the money to the church. This spring they are pulling the plough .themselve." The lawyer and the business man by bis side were silent for some moments. Then tbe busi-N ness man said, "That must bave been a real sacrifice. " "They did not call it that," said the missionary. "They thought it was fortunate that they had an ox to sell. ", The lawyer and the business man had not much to say. But when they reached home the lawyer took that picture to his minister and told him the story. "I want to doable my; pledge to the church." he said. "And give me some plough work to do. please. I bave . never known what sacrifice for the church meant A converted heathen taught me. I am ashamed to say I have never yet given any thing to my church that cost me ' anything." How much does the average modern church member ever sacrifice for his religion? How many that call themselves. Chris tians ever sold the ox and then ' harnessed themselves to . the plough?
