h|l«l that The Home Circle Column Pleasant Evening Reveries—A Column Dedicated to Tired Mothers as They Join the Home Circle at Evening Tide Crude Thots from the Editorial Pen ALWAYS TOO BUSY Are we too busy to live today? Is the reason we put off living until tomorrow There is a friend whom we should like to visit. The days, the weeks, the years go by and we have not called. The friend is taken away. We have put off the visit too long we were too busy. There is pleasure to be found in a little trip to the countrv. It would rest the husband and be a holiday for the children. But we are too busy. We put it off until some other time and the other time seems never to come. We are always too busy. There is a hundred little kindnesses we should do if we only had the time. The chances pass, the time never comes. We are too busy for the kindnesses. We are too busy today. We are too busy week in and week out. There is time for everything if we place the most important thing first. We are too busy over trivial matters to get the real good out of living. When we get over our hurry, some day we shall live as we wish, we know cheat ourselves into believing. But the day never comes. We come, we pass, and we never the joys of been life. We have too busy to live. Too busy—al ways too busy. Homes are beautiful only when there are equal rights when the hus band, wife and children respect and admire each other where there is confidence and trust and this can never be when the wife and daughters are reduced to the condition of pau pers and beggars. If the evil exists in the home there should be a read justment of affairs, and each member of the working firm be allowed his or her share of the income. Then the home business will not be robbed of the concentrated efforts of its part ners, nor will the girls and women be looking elsewhere for work that will yield a cash return. ARE YOU EDUCATED? A professor of the University of Chicago has evolved a series of test questions for the educated which he avows are the best evidence of a real education. If you can answer "yes" to all the questions you are truly educated, the professor says. Here are the questions: Has education given you sympathy with all the good causes and made you espouse them? Has it made you public spirited. Has it made you a brother to the weak? Have you learned how to make friends and keep them? Do you know what it is to be a friend yourself? Can you look an honest man or a pure woman in the eye? Do you see anything to love in a lit tle child? Will a lonely dog follow you in the street Can you be high minded and happy in the meanest drudgeries of life? Do you think that washing dishes and hoeing corn is just as compatible with high thinking as playing a piano or playing golf? Are you good for anything your self? Can you be happy alone? Can you look out on the world and see anything but dollars and cents? Can you look into a mud puddle by the wayside and see a clear sky? Can you see anything in the puddle but mud WALKING FOR HEALTH Out, girls! Out into the open, this glorious winter weather. Never mind the wind, never mind the rain. Put on old clothes and rubber shoes, but get your daily walk, be the weather what it may. Dress loosely and com fortable, wear easy shoes, hold your head well up and,your shoulders well back, breathe- deeply, fill your lungs completely, hold tne air a minute or two, then breathe it out. Do this in regular time, so many steps while you breathe in, so many more while you hold it, then just a step or two while you breathe it out. Walk fast as tho you were obliged to reach a certain place at a given hour. This is one royal road to health and beauty. It is good for the circulation, the lungs and the nerves. Exercise gives even pale faces a becoming flush. Deep breath ing expands the narrow chest change from close reading or sewing gives the lack of lustre eye back its sparkle. Pure air and peace are the balms for smoothing out ugly lines. The habit of letting every foolish or uncharitable thought, as it arises, find words, has a great deal to do with much evil in the world. Check the habit of uttering the words, and grad ually you will find that you check the habit of thought, too. Parents should be cautious about giving their children permission to stay out of school.

Every good citizen of this town should take a special local pride in all that pertains to home.

The town that says "we can," will always succeed. CHRISTMAS MUSINGS There are warmer hand-shakings on this night, wrote Alexander Smith, than (iRiring the by-past 12 months. Friend lives in the mind of friend. There is more charity at this time than at any other. Poverty and scanty clothing, and fireless grates come home to the bosoms of the rich and they give of their abundance. The very redbreast of the woods enjoys his Christmas feast. Good feeling in carnates itself in plum pudding. The Master's word, "The poor ye have al ways with you,'' bear at this time a deep significance. For at least one night on each year over all Christen dom there is brotherhood. And good men, sitting amongst their families, or by a solitary fire like me, when they remember the light that shone over *the poor clowns huddling on the Beth lehem plains 1,900 years ago, the ap paration of shining angels overhead, the song, "Peace On Earth and Good Will Towards Men," which for the first time hallowed the midnight air— pray for that strains' fulfillment, that battle and strife may vex the nations no more, that not only on Christmas eve, but the year around men shall be brethern, owning one Father in heav en.

IS THERE A HOLE IN THE TREASURY? Congress ought to find out whether Senator Smoot is telling the truth or whether Secretary McAdoo is telling the truth. The head of the Treasury Department says there is a balance of $120,000,000. The Utah Senator in sists there is a balance of only $3, 000,000, and that the more favorable showing: presented by Mr. McAdoo is the result of juggling the books. Now a thing like $117,000,000 may seem to the most opulent government on earth a mere trifle, but it represents about a dollar and twenty cents for every inhabitant. It is by no means a trifle for an al ready overburdened taxpayer. It is not a trifle when Mr. McAdoo is cast ing around to find new ways to extract more money from our pockets than was ever before paid out by Ameri cans in a single year for government support. Whether there is really a Democratic treasury deficit covered up by a new style of bookkeeping, as Senator Smoot asserts, we know not, but we do know that there is nothing but extravagance at Washington. A party committed by tradition to econ omic practices has squandered more than any previous administration. This showing is all the worse, since it came during a period of the most drastic business depression witnessed for 20 years. Everybody had to economize except the Federal Govern ment, and it forged ahead in reckless waste as if the people had nothing to do but pay taxes to be pork-barreled by Congress. By all means let us know if there is or is not a hole in the United States Treasury.—Phila delphia Ledger.
