WALKER W O R B S O P O H E B K T F YOU cannot give frequent, en- couraging words of cheer to your liome-mates and to those with whom you come in contact during your work ing hours, it would be Better to bridle your tongue and seal your lips. A rough word roughly spoken, pro duces nothing but evil and drives many a sensitive soul to despair. It arouses animosity and hate, quite the opposite of a kindly word which awak ens slumbering emotions and kindles a beneficent flame of love. It may at times, especially when you are not in a pleasant humor, cost a great efi’ort to launch the cheerful word, but if you will brush aside your ovTi turbulent feelings, and send forth the cheer and sun.shine of which you are capable of doing, yoii(.^oo, to your amazement, will participate in their delicious sweets and enjoy the thrill of an unanticipated pleasure. From the first moment when you begin to practice the scattering of cheering words, tiie wlu)le atmosphere around .vou changes. The world somehow seems drawn closer to heaven, and everything and everybody about you appears brighter and happier. In reality, there is no change except in yourself. You have sown happiness and are reaping happiness. You have ftung broadcast the sancti fied blessings and they are returning to you from every point of the com pass, filling your soul with a Joy un speakable. It is you who are nearer ‘heaven, participating in its delights without knowing it, growing more lovable as the years speed by, dim your eye and whiten your hair. Old friends turn to you in tiieiP sorrow for comfort. The boysi and girls go out of their way fo meet and greet you.

Tiieir bleary eyes brighten and their tough .(hi hearts soften when your name is spoktm, in spite of their gen eral belief that they are inviilnerablo to the gentle touches of kindnes.s. The greatest workers for the up lifting of humanity are the little words of cheer, which, when fitly .spoken, often change beasts to men, spur them | to loftier endeavor and fiirn their terrible night into a glorious day. <© . 1923, by M c C lure N e w s p a p e r Syndicate.) --------- o --------- ' H a s A n y o n e L a u g h e d riotw S B o o k Let us be better meat W h e ther w ith pick or pen.

SmiCTEGOny IS OBSERVED FEEDING THE FAMILY 'T 'H I S is the daily task of twenty million housewives in America— to provide a good meal for the family. As 90 per cent of our housewives must \use economy, it is vital that they know how to spend the money provided them, for the best food. Our gi’o- cers tell us it is not the wealthy house wives, as a rule, who buy food, fruit, vegetables and luxuries out of season, b u t , those who can least afford it. It is often a lack of knowledge of food values, and carelessness and in difference in regard to expenditures. It should be the aim. and is, with a large majority of hoii.sekeepers, rich or poor, to feed the family well, with as little waste as possilvle and with as snnill a money outlay. Food Is the big item in the weekly budget of the growing family and there is no one who enn <Io more than suggest as to the wise .spending of the income, for each family has its own problems which must be worked out in the same iminner that a mother manages her children—no two need the same training or discipline. Growing boys and men at active labor need substantial, filling meals. The boys need a.s much as grown men, for they are building their bodies as well as burning up food in their ac tivities. Men who are in offices, or occupied in positions where the brain is active and the body '^has little esjerdse, need much less of the ^energy-producing food. Their food should be of such combinations as are easily digested, though of course it should be nourish ing as well. Pork and beans, ham and fried eggs, corn beef and cab bage are foods wliicli the laborer or outdoor worker may eat freely, as such food i.s neces.pury. Put ns much interest into the plan- Tiing of meals an<l tOe .serving of them os put into a game of bridge or a “movie” pirture and we will Imve made a start toward the millennium.

(©, 1923, Wp?5tf>rn N,-w.spaper Union.) --------- O --------- THE ROMANCE OF WORDS Angora Government Resists Tempta tion to Print Up.Any New Money —Needs but Little Foreign M o n ey or Loant;. , Paris.—^Turkey is the least bankrupt of any nation that has taken an active part in the World war, according to information reaching here, not except ing England or France. The chief rea son is that apparently she has conduct ed her wars since 1914 with the strict est economy. The present Angora or nationalist government, which has been fighting the Greeks and holding off the allied powers since 1919, has resisted the temptation to print up any new money. The total prewar and war debt of Turkey, including the charges' that may be set against her at liansanne or in any treaty of peace to pay dam ages to foreign nationals, is e.stlmated to run barely above .$1,000,000,000. This sura is regarded as ridiculously low w h e n It is rem e m b e r e d that, by way of compafis<|a, France owes the United States, a w a r d e b t of $3,400,-^ 066,000, a n d Germany owes the alUCS approximately $34,000,000,000. European Interest Political. From a European point of view, the interest in Turkey is partly political, e s p e c i a ll y i‘n w a r tim e s , a n d largely fin a n c ial in peape times, .\merican in terest also has been directed toward Turkey in the last few years, her to bacco crops, If nothing else, being bought u p by A m e r ican firms. An analysis of Turk('y’s finances shows site became bankrupt in 1S74, after foolish sultans and their corrupt minislers had contracted unproductive foreign loans. In 1881 Abdul Hamid, in order to .satisfy the.se loans, turned over the salt and other monopolies to an institution known as the public d e b t, to be vlireeted by foreigners until { their debts should be paid. In one way or another Turkey owed abroad in 1914, 165,000,000 Turkish pounds. This uplt had a prewar value of $4.46. Also She had a funded debt of 152,000,000 Turkish pouhds, Of the foreign debt, roughly the equivalent of $800,000,000. France held 60 per cent, Germany 21 per cent and Great Brit ain. Holland and Belgium about 19 per cent.. Turkey’s war debt expenses have been described as “the most amazing thing in the history of World war toance.” She ran her war on a shoe string. When the army needed any thing, It seems to have been either re quisitioned from the civil population or else the army simply went with out it. And this army often num bered 1,000,000 men. In 1915 there was one Internal loan of 18,000,000 Turkish pounds (about $79,000,000 at the exchange of that time). Then there was a paper money issue of 154,581,400 Turkish pounds, secured by German govemraenf treasury bonds, payable 15 years after the war. Cer tain supplies in limRed q uantities were bought in Germany^ These figures have a distinct bear ing on the future for those Americans or others who wish to live or do busi ness In Turkey,! Has Splendid Future. According to one American financial expert who has traveled all through Turkey, as rarely do the majority of foreign visitors, if Turkey secures a stable political government and if she frees herself from foreign control, there is no reason why she cannot in tensify her agriculture and prosper. Strange as it may seem to thq casual observer of the course of post-war na tions, this expert asserted Turkey needs but little foreign money or loans. Hers is a problem rather of a so u n d d o m e s tic p o l i c y ; e n c o u r a g i n g the creation of domestic capital through b e tter' b a n k s ; the opportunity for proper land mortgages, and pro gressive agriculture., Man.V Americans in Europe are watching keenly the trend of politics leading* to a peace with Turkey.' If new Turkey gets the peace she de mands, and if the Angora men of the steady sort, .such as Mustapha Kemal Pasha and Gen. Ismet Pasha, keep control, it is believed Americans will do better in Turkey than any other nationality. , Tlie.se Turks take the point of view tliat tliose who are not for them are against them, and they have been made to feel during the four years that Admiral Mark L.
