A Splendid Thing to Learn
- . 11 .
DID you ever stop to tniok tnat ortenumes ma auger
that we feel and the temper to which we give rent
prove themselves far more disastrous than the thing
which caused them?
It Is really a fact you know.
A very trivial thing happened the other day some-
thing that wasn't half so had as It at first appeared to
bo but a very dear lady-fair lost her temper and gave
vent to a lot of Impatient remarks that didn't in the least
reiredy the trouble but that served to make ber very
nervous and as a result she has experienced a terrific
LeaJache.
Now the thing that happened the thing that ruffied
her feelings oidm' amount to very much didn't astually work any harm and
was something easily and speedily forgotten or could have been.
But the headache and the rag-taggedy nerves were not so easily dismissed
from mind.
The effect of the linie "flare up" of temper lasted for a day or longer ana
erred to keep fresh in the lady-fair's memory the cause of It all.
' How very much better it would hare been for that same lady-fair to have
shrugged her pretty shoulders and dismissed the matter from her thoughts.
"How could she?" some one may ask
" The answer !s simple by putting something else in her thought.
It Isn't alwars an easy thicg to do as most of us may find out If we try.
yet tt Is something that can be done.
When aomethlcg. 'apparently goes very very wrong and you feel on the
Tcrg of a "flare up" use oil the will jovfr you possess to dismiss It from your

When you find a friend In trAible

Often it is very helpful
Just to feelm friend is near.
JEKRY MUSKRAT was huddled in a crotch
of a tree on the bank of the Big River
as miserable and hopeless a Muskrat as
ever lived. ' He couldn't think of a singly
thing to be thankful for; but then Jerry
wasn't in a condition to do much thinking
anyway. Later perhaps he would see that
he did hare something to be thankful for.
Of course he did. Things are very bad In-
deed when there is nothing to be thankful
for. Jerry had reason for thankfulness
because tha old log on which he had been
swept down the Laughing Brook to the Big
River had caught for Just a minute or two
In that branch which was partly under
water and so given him a chance to scram-
ble up It to the crotch where he was now
sitting.
Jerry was frightened. The .act Is he
was too frightened to do any real thinking.
He. who all his life bad loved the water
and felt more at home in it than on dry
land now was afraid of it.- Even in the
Lauchlna- Brook which no longer laughed
out was sullen and angry. It had proved too strong for him. strong swimmer tnat n

him aa he watched the water rush past carrying logs trees and all sorts of things
which it had swept away and covered with great cakes of ice which ground against
ech other and made the most dreadful noises it seemed to him that never before
had he known the meaning of strength and force.
For a long time Jerry huddled there. Just a little brown bunch of fur before he
began to tak muck notice of things. His stomach made him take notice flna.lv
Hi stomach demanded that he get something to put in it. Then Jerry began to
!ookeul.nd try to plan some way of getting out of his trouble. It was Just about

"COMPOSITION AND FUNCTION OF
FOOD"
Administration Lecture Given at
Rice Institute by Or. C. W. Heaps
The United States food administration
is conducting an educational ckmpalgn
throughout the country with the purpose
of creating Intelligent conservation and
uses of foods by the people.
With this end in view a series of lec-
tures outlines are prepared each week at
Washington and sent out to the colleges
and universities of the country. Two
of these lectures will be given weekly at
the Rice Institute by Dr. C. W. Heaps
and abstracts will be published every
Wednesday and Thursday. .
Following is Dr. Heaps' lecture on "The
Composition and Function of Food."
which he delivered Wednesday.
The human body is one of the busiest
machines every made. Throughout the
lifetime of" the individual it Is constantly
woVklng. The chest Is moving in respira-
tion;. the muscles are under tension teady
for any sudden call to further work; the
heart does enough work in a single day
to lift a man of average sire almost half
m- 1.. all th.
a mile into me air. io auvvn
energy for this work man needs to take
into his system food. Just as a gaso-
line engine in order to function properly
must be supplied with gasoline and air
for combustion in its cylinders so man
in apHap In wrtrk fnllRt he SUDDlled With
food and with air for burning the food
in his bodv. An intelligent automobile
driver in buying food for his engine
would probably not pay 3i cents a gallon
for kerosene when he is able to secure
gasoline for 25 cents yet the same driver
may do far more irrational things than
this In buying the fuel which is to run
his own body or the bodies of his wife
and children.

War Library Campaign
Monday is the final day in the nation
wide drive for books to stock the military
libraries here and overseas. 1
The campaign in Houston has met -villi
success despite" the fact that Monday
must be a record breaking day if the
quota is to be reached. The books col-
lected in Houston will be distributed
among ( the smaller posts 'and camps in
Texas.
Miss Julia Ideson of the public library
is concentrating her forces for a final
drive that will increase the number of '
oooks gatnerea here to 000 or more. The
laundries will collect all day Monday as
will the ladles who have volunteered
their cars and their own services to aid
In the collection. A number of other
business firms of. the city and civic or-
ganisations will assist.
The book campaign Is one of the big-
gest campaigns ever waged for the en
tertainment or tne soldiers. There -are
3$ libraries iu tha larger cantonments in '.
mis country.
The forces across the sea need book
badly. There are libraries over there
now. but they are Inadequate. And then
too they contain very few technical books
on the science of warfare the one vital
business the Sammies are Intensely in-
terested In. They long for educational
books just a much aa they do for "beat
sellers and love tales.
Those who have books they care to
give should not fail to call the library
and advise them of the fact. They will
collect them or they may be given to
the laundry drivers.

' While his Turkish partner turns again to the wholesale murder of Armenians the Kaiser contemplat-
ing with satisfaction the heavy bag of little nations that is the reward of his sportsmanlike prowess permits
himself to "live again one of .those great moments in which we can reverently admire God's hand in history."
Moreover "with gratitude toward God" in his heart he faces the future "firmly trusting in the sword." The
phrase "no annexations and no indemnities" was still on its lips when Germany closed its mailed fist over
Russia's Baltic provinces Finland Poland the Ukraine and Roumania and now the same clutching menace
seems to be moving toward Sweden Norway and Denmark. Will Germany be able to digest what she is

Never before perhaps in the history of the world has it
been more difficult to arrive at the actual truth regarding
the tremendous events that are occurring from week to
week. Empires are falling huge tracts of territory are
changing hands and the political complexion of States '
is being completely altered over night. To know the real
facts regarding these epoch-making Occurrences is a vital
necessity for every one of us yet there are innumerable
influences both domestic and foreign that tend to keep
the issues clouded and the exact developments in doubt.
To obtain the truth you must find a news-magajjine that
gives you the facts impartially from whatever source
they may be derived that has no policy but to state con-
ditions as they are without gloss or concealment and that
leaves your judgment absolutely unfettered. Such a maga-
zine is THE LITERARY DIGEST. You need it
