November 16, 1862.—Before ~day- | light this morning a train arrived from | Warrenton, Va., with two or three | hundred sick Union soldiers, who were | left by the advancing army of General | Burnside without shelter or protection | and were sent here to be placed in hospitals. They remained on the train until a late hour in the morning, and were supplied with food by the sympa- thetic residents of the Seventh Ward, who turned out in full force, prompted by their genercus and patriotic im- pulses. The poor sufferers received warm tea, coffee, etc., with gratitude. It was especially enfoyable after their uncom- fortable night in the cold railroad cars. | " About dark tonight another traia | arrived, bringing as many more sick and a few wounded, who were disabled |in A recent skirmish at the front.

JESSE W. SPROWLS, Decisions. Not 50 long ago I talked with a man of affairs who said that he always took plenty of time in making deci- sions. He added that when once a decision was made, he worried no more about it, regardless of the outcome. His struck me as a rather unusual case, for the vast majority of le lose & lot of sleep about their decisions. Many a man has lost the opportunity lil; a life-time in delaying a decisioh too ‘There must somewhere be some work- able information on the psychoiogy of decisions, less of whether in in- dividual cases it takes the form of snap judgments or delayed reactions. So I scanned the literature on the subject and then thought it all over as best I could. Out of it all I conclude that a de- cision is only a distant relative of choice. Decision implies an intellec- tual reaction; choice, an emotional re- sponse, 1If we get these two points straight, we can understand the ler- ence between the one who does and the one who does not worry about decisions already made. There are, I believe, three distinct bases for the making of decisions. 1. Some alternatives that have to be decided make their appeal to what is called conscience. In such cases one does not need to weigh reasons pro and con. Snap judgments are good and final. There is no court of higher intellectual appeal. 2. We are social animals. Many of our problems implicate our social group in some respect. There is, therefore, a sort of group loyalty entering into a great number of the decisions we are called upon to make. In such cases we fall back upon what might well be called a group conscience. This court of appeal is only a few degrees removed from our private consclence. 3. We are unfortunately forced ali too often to decide between alternatives that have no emotional attachments. The consequences are unseen. In such cases our decisions amount to intelli- gent guesses. They are the ones we should accept without worry, right or FEATURES. The Sidewalks BY THORNT! A minister tells this one. A certain preacher was rather eccentric. On one occasion he took the liberty while preaching to denounce a rich man in the community, recently deceased. The result was that he was arrest- | ed, and, after a trial for _siander. | ‘was imprisoned in the county jail. After he was re- leased he an-| nounced that in spite of his (in his opinion) unjust punishment, he should preach at a given time a ser- about “an- the church was crowded. ~With great solemnity he ned the Bible and read: “And re was a h who died and went to——," then, stopping short, and seeming to be suddenly impressed, he continued: “Brethern, I shall not men- tion the place this rich man went to for fear has some relative in this congregation who will sue me for def- amation of character.” This had a distinct effect on the au- dience and he made the impression permanent by taking another text and never alluding to the subject again. * 0k k ok A minister of dignified and distin- guished mien frequently entered his pulpit tittering and smiling. Some- times it seemed as if he might break out laughing. This excited comment and finally it was thought necessary to bring the matter to the attention of the ministerial association. The case was stated and the pastor addressed his col- leagues. “Gentlemen,” he sald, “the fact charged against me is true, and I beg you to permit me to offer an explana- tlon. A few months after I was or- dained, I was in a country town, and, on a Sabbath morning, was about to of Washington 'ON FISHER. point of laughing. Even to this day the memory of that scene, through the temptation” of the devil—often comes upon me as I am ascending the pulpit. This, I admit, is a weakness, but I trust it will rather excite your sym- pathy and prayers than your re- vroaches.” % an A man visited'a church one Sunday morning where a minister apparentiy a stranger to the congregation preached. He took for his text: “And Peter's wif2's mother lay sick of a fever. The visitor enjoyed the sermon, and later visited another church in a different section of the city. After the singing, he was surprised to see the same min- ister rise and take the same text: “And rPet.er’s wife's mother lay sick of a ever.” Wishing to hear something different he attended another church in the eve- ning. He had not been seated long be- fore he discoversd the same minister in the pulpit. He was disappointed, but couldn't leave the church. The climax was at last reached when the preacher uttered a tone of d and thrilling pathos: “And Peter's wife’s mother lay sick of a fever.” To listen to one sermon three times in one day was too much for the gentleman. The next morning the man was to take a steamboat. Early after breakfast he was on board. His at- tention was sud- denly arrested by a familiar voice, and, looking h saw the ' figure of the minister.

In a recent health questionnaire an- swered by more than 900 of our read- ers was this question: “Is it dangerous to go out in the cold immediately after a hot bath? Give Teason for your answer. One hundred and thirty-one readers balieve it is dangerous, but offer no reason for thinking so. Two hundred and twelve readers think it might be a risky thing to do under some circum- stances, and most of them suggest a circumstance. All there is no harm in doing 50, and many of them explain they have often done it and never noticed any ill effect. ‘That 584 out of 930 readers of this column do not “take cold,” to the best of their knowledge and belief, from such a sudden change, and harbor no fear that such ‘“carelessness” is likely 10 do any harm, is very encouraging to me, and I should think it ought to give some persons a degree of anxlety. I can’t put_my hand on a single phdvsn- cian or health authority of standing who actually asserts that this sort of thing will give anybody a “cold” or even tnat 1t will make anybody more sus- ceptible to any infection, but I submit that such is the inference an intelligent rson must draw from the advice or instructions handed out from time to time. ‘Take another instance: Suppose you indulge in an hour of two of unusual- ly hard work or play, get all in a sweat, then sit down to cool off in a draft breeze or wind.

In this instance it is from greatly in- creased combustion in your muscles; the combustion of fuel (blood sugar) leaves considerable waste matter or ash of more or less acid character (carbon dioxide, lactic acld compounds) in the muscles to be removed through the cir- culation. If you suddenly check the circulation or retard it by cold on the surface an excess of the waste material remains in and near the muscles, and becomes an irritant. That's how such | conditions as lumbago and lame arms happen. (The “glass arm” of the base | ball pitcher is of this nature; the { “charleyhorsc” of an athlete is alto- | gether different, being a rupture of tendon or muscle fibers from sudden ef- fort without preliminary ‘“warming jup”). Of course when you get overheated by artificial means there is no such in- | creased combustion (metabolism) in the body. So there is no objection what~ | ever to sudden cooling. Any one who | has ever indulged in a Turkish or Rus- | sian bath should appreciate this. Any | woman who has done a big washing on |a cold day, then hopped right out to hang the clothes as she is, knows she | will suffer no ill effect worse than a lame shoulder. | " Incidentally, athletes in fair training | are unlikely to suffer this lameness even | though they take no pains to prevent it. | (Copyright, 1929.) ! 3 Sauerkraut With Spareribs.

That's mine.” Mother sighed and returned to her mending. Matty was beginning to be a problem with this borrowing notion. A step on the porch and a ring at the doorbell. “If you don’t mind, Mrs. Dodd, may I look on Matty's bookshelf or some- where for my Advanced English? I loaned it to her last week because she had lost hers, and I need it for to- morrow’s work.” The book was found under & heap of papers. Matty had left it where she used it. Mrs. Dood returned once more to her mending, a little crease between her brows. ‘The telephone rang. “Is this Mis, Dodd? I'm awfully sorry to troubie you, but Matty borrowed my tennis racket the other day and I shall need it tomorrow early. Would you mind telling her to bring it over? Thanks so_much.” Mrs. Dodd sat down to wait for Matty, all thought of the mending gone from her mind. “They are just sick and tired of her habit and they've taken this way to get at her. I have to pay for her neglect. Well, you can't blame them. I ought to have followed her up long ago and made her return every borrowed article and see that she bor- rowed no more. Better day, better deed, I suppose. I'll have to stop this now, no matter what happeps.” Matty came along swinging her books by the atrap as gayly as though no debts of books or belongings troubled her mind. Her mother met her with wrath in her soul. “Look here, Matty. T've had three | cans"from your schocimates this after- noon for things you borrowed and never returned. I'm humiliated to tears. How can you do such things?” “What things?” “Borrowing books and flashlights and rackets, and goodness knows what else you never returned.” “Who says I never return them “Your friends who loaned them. “Why don't they give me a chance? I'd have—" “Don’t talk any more. You spend this afternoon—I don’t care what else you had planned to do—you are going to do this: You spend this afternoon in gathering up every last thing you have that does not belong to you and lay them on the hall table. Tomorrow morning, first thing, you will go over your room, every bureay drawer, shelf and closet, and make certain there is nothing there that is not yours. Then you will go personally and deliver each one of them. I'm ashamed of you." “Goodness, mother, you'd think I'd stolen tbe things.” “Well, didn't you? Didn’t you keep what wasn't yours? Didn't you force your friends into nagging me to make return your things? What is it but dishonesty?” Now you march.” Borrowing among children is first cousin to much that is fundamentally wrong.

Furthermore there is no rival a ma can have in his wife's affectiofis that is so deadly as an {deal.'

Many homemakers are either afraid or wary of the idea of collecting furni- ture. The very word “collecting” seems to scare them with the thought of ex- pense, or their own lack of knowledge of what is worthy. Yet these same ers are constantly accumulat- ing furniture without realizing that ac- cumulating and collecting have little difference in their literal meaning, each ng to amass. ‘The one great difference between col- lecting and accumulating furniture is that collecting is done with discrimina- tion while accumulating is done with- out.

Peter sent some packers, who took all Nancy's prized china and put. it in barrels. She was interested in watching them. They did not use news- paper for wrapping the pleces. The newspaper is stiff, brittle and cumber- some. Instead, they used a thin, tough and pliable paper known as manila tissue. The sheets come 24 by 36 inches. ‘They folded the sheets into halves, so they measured 24 by 18. They laid a plate in the center and folded over corners to center of plate. This gave most thickness where strain on plate comes. These plates were laid in a col- umn in barrel, which had been well covered at bottom with excelsior. Col- umns were put in at right angles until space was filled. Then a layer of ex- celsior was put over all. She watched them protect handles of cups with rolls of this tissue. And she was quite sure that none of the china would be broken in transit. As the packers filled a box or barrel she mnoted contents and tagged it, so that the movers would know where to put it. A tag might read, “dining room” or “hasement” or “second-floor front bedroom,” according to destined place. | This simplified her settling after the movers hed finished. Then she went over the accumula- | tion of keys, discarding all those which belonged to the old house, old cuphoards and drawers. The keys she took with her were tagged and put on one key- ring. ’l!h! key-ring, with its usable and easily distinguished keys, caused Peter to embrace her on the spot and to tell her that he was ever amazed to dis- cover what a clever wife he had.

Most homemakers either from knowledge or instinct or from having it drummed into their ears from parents or relatives, who once owned the pleces, are aware of the beauty of such articles and their genuine dignity. It may be that they do not fully appreciate why the articles are fine, but even without such fuli appreciation, they can base their choice of other pieces on the knowledge that such pieces are fine, and try to get nmew or “antique” furniture to go with them. Just this attempt will be educational. if they go about it in the right wajy. The shopkeeper or salesman in a good store will show many pieces of like character, naming the articles as Chip- pendale, Heppelwhite, Sheraton, etc. By studying the pieces then and there, they will note similarities and dissimilarities, good points in fine pleces and bad ones in poor.

Answer—Yes, my dear, your poor physical health is responsible for the poor condition of your hair and its lost curliness. You must try to build your- self up to ncrmal weight by eating nourishing foods, such as milk, eggs. meat, fresh vegetables and fruits of every kind that are in season. Take nourishing soups at lunchtime and drink one quart of milk extra every day. Take an eggnogg or malted milk between breakfast and luncheon and again in the afternoon. Eat plenty of dairy foods. such as butter, cheese and cream. Spend an_hour or two in the fresh air and sunshine every day. Be sure to night. 12) You may give your scalp the poo. Use a reliable liquid shampoo to wash your hair. Rinse thoroughly dry carefully between warm towels. Massage your scalp and brush your hair for at least 10 minutes every day. Brush the underlayers as well as the top. As strength your hair will resume its nat- health.

When some outraged woman does not lapse into a remorseful silence, but_protests vehemently to the proj authorities, action is generally forth- coming. ‘The husband of one of our readers was inveilgled into paying for a stock which he could not obtain.
