Jim's eyes lighted, as though ..t a new and very pleasing Idea. "That's a swell thought, John. Where'll we find this Janitor?" They located Mike Carmicino In the basement of the fraternity house.

"Did Thayer usually pay you when he ordered the whisky or only after the boys paid him?" "After the fellers they pay him.

It Is not so generally popular as white bread, but it Is a good plan to use it to some extent In the weekly meal plan. Where the money to be spent for food is too limited In amount to allow of the purchase of liberal amounts of the more expensive foods, whole wheat bread should be counted upon to provide Iron and vitamin B. "The English," says a Canadian writer, "seem to have a world perspective, a world outlook and world philosophy, unequaled by any other people on earth." I neither deny nor accept the statement, but It causes me to wonder Just how much truth there Is In it I should say France and Germany are close rivals of England as possessing, on an average, the wisest and most ef ficient Inhabitants. Up to the time of the war Germany was crowding England for first place; since the war France has shown Itself smarter than either of Its rivals. The United States Is entirely out of the competition, not because of lack of efficiency, but because lack of common sense has become our national Some say the island misfortune. of Java Is the Garden of Eden so far as ease of making a living Is concerned, and that the rule of the Hollanders comes near being the wisest and best Denmark, Sweden, Norway, should be considered In picking out the country best managed. Switzerland, although It has far better scenery than soil, has long attracted attention as specially well managed so far as public affairs are concerned. The most Important and profitable work a man may engage In Is managing himself as efficiently as possible; Intelligent endeavor to avoid harmful mistakes. A mistake Is a terrible thing; a careless man may blunder Into one that will punish him all his life a mild one frequently can have the dire result of humiliating for months or years. A noted man named Haldane, con nected with the most famous of England's universities, once wrote that the most Interesting study he knew anything about was his own Although familiar with all body. the sciences, the details of which awe us so much, this highly edu cated man confesses no scientific ex periment interests him as much, or pays as well, as study of his own body.
