' THE NATIONAL GUARD. Wilmington Star. The mobilization test came too sudden for the National Guard, al though the nucleus from Maine to Texas, from Washington to Florida, showed Its patriotism and eagerness to serve the country at the Presi dent's call. However, the National Guard Is not a unit in organisation. as it -Is composed of 48 different state organisations. ; p , Mobilisation for prospective or ae - tnal service la something: new for this purely volunteer ; organization. Ia- some of the states the companies have, not been kept up to the mini mum much leas to the - maximum membership, r Therefore," the com panies, will .be compellel to recruit before' they can be mobilized. Augusta, Ga4 ' has three compan ies, but the call for mobillzatlotvflnas all three' unprepared to report with even the minimum strength of offi cers and men. They have been do ing' some aggressive recruiting but still have failed to get enough for a single one of the three companies to enter the service. ' y - That Is going to be one of the trou- voluntary during times of peace. The j ooys are patriotic enough nut the svstem Is one that has to be greatly Improved under the new army act j just passed. by .Congress. In willing ness the men of thf country are ev er ready to serve their country, but In preparedness It Is observed that something else has to be done. The present mobilization will help to dis close that, so that a year from now the National Guard ought to be able to entrain and go straight to the field of service. , This refers to the National Guard as a whole. In some states the or ganization is better maintained than in others, while the discipline possi bly may be of 48 different kinds. The future system depends upon the new law, so that the present mobilization is not a fair test, such as the Guard will be prepared for a year hence. The Tragedy of Lost Time. Biblical Recorder. Lost time is irrecoverable. The dissipated hour can never be. return ed; the squandered day is never a gain presented; the frittered year Is gone forever, i Drop overboard the pearl of the present moment; your ship halts not for you to recover It nor passes that way again. Wealtn inherited or earned may be wasted through idleness, dissipation, mis management, or misfortune, yet by industry and prudence one may wtn back more than was lost. A robust and vigorous health, weakened by exposure and imprudence, may be regained by careful regard for Its laws. A fair reputation, stained with misdeeds for perhaps years, may in large measure be restored by an unvarying and persevering course of well-doing. But lost time who can restore it? Lost once, lost forever. The Delight of Children The self-developed, inner-flavour of Xew Post Toaatfes bear a unique attraction for the kiddies they even like them dry from the package Tor their lunches. A box of Toasties pro vides "eats" that will delight the children. Xew Post Toarttes are usually served with cream and su gar, in which form the flavour is more pronounced and the flakes more delicious. These New Toasties do not "chaff" or crumble in the package and they don't mush down in cream both common defects of old-fashioned "corn flakes." v V - Then, too, notice the tiny bubbles on the flakes, produced by the quick, intense heat of a new patented process of making ' which imparts delightful crispness and a substantial body to the . flakes. New Port Toa(lf are a vast improvement over any old style "corn flakes.- . , ITor tomorrow's breakfast Key Post Toasties ; - ; : Sold by Grocers everywhere SUMMER SCHOOL NOTES. .

COMPANY War and the Merrwcrutum Pipe. Kansas City Journal. . If the shade of the smoker's pipe were of as much moment as the hue of milady's spring costume the pos sible shortage In the meerschaum market might have attracted' as much attention in America, since the beginning of the war, as has the interruption , of our aniline dye trade with Germany, for the main source of the world's supply of this earthly mineral lies in, the zone or hostilities. Eskl-eehr is a city or 20,000 peo ple wheh lies 200 miles to the south of Constantinople, on the banks or the Pursak Su, in Asia Minor. Meerschaum, which derives lis name from the fact that partieles or it were discovered floating on the Black Sea, giving rise to the belief that it was petrified sea foam, has been dug from the alluvial deposits in the plains near Eskl-sehr for 1. 000 years. Here 400 Kurds and Persians, in groups of from 3 to 15, burrow through yard-wide holes to depths of from 20 to 200 feet. The lumps of mineral clay which they seek is commercially valuable In nodules as small as a hazel-nut, while occas ionally pieces as large as an apple aro found. When the meerschaum Is first brought to the surface it has a gray ish or yellowish tinge and Is so soft that it can be scraped with a knife. In summer it is left to dry in the Bun,but in the winter it is placed in ovens, where it is subjected, to a steady temperature day and night for nine days, when it becomes snow white and loses two-thirds of its weight. After being rubbed with flannel and polished with wax it is wrapped in cotton and Bent to Austria or America to be resoaked in water un til It is so soft that it can be cut like cheese, after which it can be sawed Into convenient shape, elaborately carved if desired, and fitted with amber stems from Germany. Before the war the value of EskSl-sehr's meerschaum exports was more than $1,300,000 annually. TODAY'S F0EI THE SILENCED CALL. ; -When the buds burst out m tho springtime ?
