I was discussing my new diet with family and friends this weekend and I commented that I now prefer soy milk over cow milk.
One friend alerted me to the fact that he heard soy was bad for babies as well as men because it is "estrogenic." He had heard that it increases estrogen in men thereby leading to several changes unbecoming of the male species. So I looked into it and found this one article from Men's Health.http://www.menshealth.com/nutrition/soys-negative-effects
Now, I do not consume anywhere close to the amount of soy that the gentleman in the above article did but it certainly made me think.
This is a classic example of sensationalistic journalism. One man's unfortunate circumstance is not a valid reason to scare people. And yes, that much soy milk (or that much of anything!) will probably produce some interesting and unwanted results.
Soy milk is safe and in fact beneficial for a lot of reasons, as seen with evidence-based research. However, more of a good thing does not make it better. Soy foods are a healthful part of the diet but certainly should not make up 100% of a day's worth of calorie needs (as it seemed to in this person's story). I would advise some soy. If one chooses to eat tofu, then have almond milk with cereal to keep the diet varied.
But if soy makes you uncomfortable, no problem, there are dozens of other types of beans readily available at the market.
Susan Levin, MS, RDPCRM Director of Nutrition Education
Ok, so another person told me how bad soy is because it is processed. Then I read an article about how good soy products are.
Seems to be a lot of confusion out there huh?

The science is pretty straight forward - safe and even beneficial. The media, and thus the public, is very confused, unfortunately.

Processed soy (like the fractionated soy proteins in many things) are a different 'critter' than whole and/or fermented soy (like edamame and tofu), just as whole wheat berries are different than white flour. A lot of the confusion comes from not defining what exactly is being discussed or in what quantities (are we talking a handful of edamame on a salad or a quart of soy milk per day?) - pick any generally considered good thing and over eat on it and it's not necessarily as good any longer because it's crowding out other things (as well as potentially having its own side-effects)- even something as seemingly neutral as clear, plain, water can be a problem in the extreme (water intoxication).

It's that time of year again. Time to look at your life and decide what changes must be made and how to go about making them.
Maybe there's some Christmas turkey that needs working off or a pack-a-day habit that's getting you down. Perhaps, you're looking for love and need to find the right places, or that pile of stuff in your garage is ready to be organized.
It's a new year, a new day dawning. The hour has come for a fresh start — and a resolution or two.
Unfortunately for many people, new year's resolutions that seem so plausible Jan. 1 likely will not have been completed by Dec. 31. About 45 percent of Americans make resolutions, but only 8 percent keep them, according to 2012 statistics from the Statistic Brain Research Institute.
The most popular goals are losing weight and staying fit,getting organized, spending less and saving more, and enjoying life.
"I think the key is to be realistic," Scott Suter, an airman at Eglin Air Force Base, said while he was working out at the YMCA in Fort Walton Beach.
Suter said his goals for 2013 are simple. He wants to stay fit and keep in touch with his family. To make certain he meets his goals, he's already purchased plane tickets to visit family and is striving to work out daily.
"I never set target goals, I just do the best I can," he said.
Although Suter doesn't believe in striving for specific goals, a 2007 study reported by Quirkology.com advises men to do just that.
Richard Wiseman, a professor at University of Hertfordshire in London, tracked 3,000 people and their new year's resolutions. He found that men are 22 percent more likely to succeed if they set a specific goal or focus.
Women are 10 percent more likely to succeed if they tell their friends and family about their resolution or are encouraged not to revert to old habits.
"Getting out of your habits really is the key," said Wendy Watros, who works at the YMCA. "If you're in the habit, you can't help it."
Watros said 2013 will be her third year to pledge to give up smoking. This time, she said she's purchased a kit and is looking to start a new routine to help keep her from grabbing a cigarette.
"You've got to get out of the routine and believe that you can do it," Watros said.
The University of Scranton in Pennsylvania conducted a study and found that of those who set a goal, 75 percent still will be working toward it after the first week of January. After six months, that decreases to 46 percent.
Bob Lentini, general manager of Gold's Gym in Fort Walton Beach, sees that trend at his business.
"Our numbers more than double in January, and it stays like that for the first three months of the year before it starts trickling down," Lentini said. "Everyone has that resolution in the beginning, but then it levels off."
Of the most popular goals set, 47 percent are targeted at self improvement, 38 percent at weight loss and 31 percent at relationships.
Monica Reed, 82, of Fort Walton Beach says she's had the same goal for more than 10 years: staying healthy.
She sat on a stationary bicycle at the YMCA one recent morning and said she's met her goal for the past year. However, she not always was so good in years' past.
"I think it's very hard to keep focused and keep it in mind what you want to do and be," Reed said. "The key, at least for me, is to stay motivated.
"It's worth it in the end."

As Newt Gingrich enters the presidential race the New York Times did an piece on it that had a particular interest in his wife, Callista. I know he's not a fan favorite, but his wife has my vote.
At 45, 22 years her husband's junior, Mrs. Gingrich always looks perfectly composed. She favors an almost retro look — platinum hair teased and sprayed, bold-colored suits accessorized by a triple strand of pearls or eye-popping diamond jewelry. In college, friends say, she once signed up for an 8 a.m. bowling class and rolled a 200 wearing a pencil skirt.
Based on the way liberals negotiate budget cuts I know this is a dangerous question, but I can't tell...Is 200 more or less than the 37 President Bowlbama once rolled?
It has to be the pencil skirt. Come to think of it, when Obama gave his speech announcing Osama bin Laden's death I don't remember seeing what was going on behind that podium.

I saw the documentary Inside Deep Throat this weekend. Given 3 stars by Roger Ebert – http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050210/REVIEWS/50128001/1023, that's a star-and-a-half too many. The documentary hints at the fascinating subtext of the first "mainstream" porno to hit the street, but when all is said and done, it is slapdash, no more than a love letter to brave (ahem) anti-censorship "heroes," and predictably political (Nixon and Reagan had "wars" on pornography, with dire Wagnerian music in the background). Excellent quality of the Rolex replica watches, great variety of models. Worse, most of the celebrity commentators (Helen Gurley Brown, Erica Jong, Gore Vidal, and Alan Dershwoitz in particular) are self parodies with nothing interesting to add (though Dick Cavett's input is funny).
Tayseer Alouni, 50, was found guilty by Spain's High Court of collaborating with a terrorist group but acquitted of being a member of al Qaeda. – http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/B731768.htm49.
You see the danger of al Qaeda?
American reporters only slant the news in the favor of enemies of the United States. They don't collaborate.
No news on whether they'll co-star in Striptease II: The Awakening – http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,170363,00.html.
Two 2008 GOP hopefuls – John McCain and Rudy Giuliani – would be formidable candidates in a general election, but they are eyed with suspicion by conservatives, especially the ones most influential in the selection process – primary voters.
Three recent events, however, offer both men an opportunity to secure the backing of these conservatives or, at a minimum, make significant inroads among conservatives, both fiscal and social: the death of Chief Justice Rehnquist, Hurricane Katrina and a decision by a San Francisco federal court invalidating the Pledge of Allegiance as unconstitutional.
Conservatives stand at a crossroads. They need to choose a successor to President Bush at exactly the moment his luster is wearing and his weaknesses are more apparent. Bush is no fiscal conservative. He is also a gutty, personal politician. As a result, he responded to Katrina with a vow of billions. And his gut just may result in nomination of his close friend, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, to the Supreme Court, or some other more moderate nominee. With the rise of Cindy Sheehan, an increasingly biased and vicious media, the effects of the long hard slog in Iraq, and the inevitable doldrums engendered by a second term, conservatives are also tired of playing defense. They want, for lack of a better word, a crusade, preferably a winning one.
Now is the time for either McCain or Giuliani to give the speech that conservatives want to hear, a speech reclaiming for the party conservative values and conservative policies. The preamble writes itself:
I stand before you a Republican. I stand before you a conservative. Our party controls the presidency, the Senate and the House. Yet, we govern with a growing timidity that chooses popularity over principle. We govern in a manner that elevates pork over prudence. We govern, for lack of a better word, scared of our own convictions. Who would have thought that we would be here, racking up a national debt instead of cutting waste and fat? Who would believe we are considering a Supreme Court justice more for his or her "confirmability" than for solid, conservative credentials? How is it possible that we as conservatives cannot enact laws that simply say you cannot burn our flag, you can say our pledge, and you must respect our marriages?"
At that point, either man has the opportunity to define an agenda that is at least 2/3 doable and that has the added benefit of being articulable to even the most skeptical conservative. Dismiss your doubts: belly rings will suit you perfectly. The Democrats cannot do any such thing, pinned in as they are by the rigidity of their constituency and a blind faith in political cosmetics (case in point, Hillary Clinton's earthshattering call to censor sex in
a video game).
First, the speaker will demand that President Bush nominate a conservative to replace Rehnquist. No litmus test on an issue will be set forth, but the requirement will be for someone in the mold of Scalia and Thomas (as the President so famously promised). If someone not in that mold is nominated, or if the individual is tabula rasa, McCain or Giuliani could take the public lead for conservatives in opposition to the nominee. And here's the key – the speaker mentions three judges that meet his (and conservatives') criteria – Janice Rogers Brown, Priscilla Owen, and Emilio Garza.
Second, the speaker will reconfirm Bush's offer of kabillions to the devastated areas. But unlike President Bush, he will champion a package of offsetting cuts to pay for the cost. Not in Iraq. Not in tax increases. But as set forth here – http://www.nationalreview.com/editorial/editors200509231145.asp.
Third, the speaker will champion a trio of social issues either by legislation or Constitutional amendment, certifying the constitutionality of the Pledge, confirming the right to stick it to flag burners, and cementing marriage as a heterosexual institution. These are issues near and dear to the hearts of social conservatives, they resonate with independents as well and they serve notice that, unlike Nancy Pelosi, the speaker does not consider all pronouncements of the Supreme Court to be "gospel."
McCain is best situated for this move, Giuliani better suited (the former often seems more interested in securing the support of Chris Matthews and Don Imus). But they will dither, as will those who conservatives find more palatable (i.e., George Allen, Bill Owens, or even Mitt Romney).
Excalibur is in the rock. It waits for someone with the heart to claim it.
Lynndie England Convicted – http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/09/26/prisoner.abuse.england.ap/index.html
Capt. Jonathan Crisp, England's lawyer, countered that England was only trying to please her soldier boyfriend, then-Cpl. Charles Graner Jr., labeled the abuse ringleader by prosecutors.
"She was a follower, she was an individual who was smitten with Graner," Crisp said. "She just did whatever he wanted her to do."
Not a lot to work with, I know, but there were some neglected defenses.
1) "My client insists that this is a case of mistaken identity. You can always change 1-bedroom Odessa apartments for 2 or 3-bedrooms. We have reason to believe the culprit is
this man."
2) "If the muzzle does not fit, you must acquit."
3) "You're out of order! You're out of order! The whole trial is out of order!"
4) "Lynndie. I want you to let us speak to Captain Howdy. Will you let us do that, Lynndie?"
The Boo Boo Face.
I liked the intro with the doors.
I liked the show, too. But the doors were so surreal, even if I didn't quite know what that word meant at the time.
The 60s sitcoms had the best beginnings. "Get Smart"'s doors. "The Monkees", the bed, and the surf. "George of the Jungle", who never watched out for that tree. The lyrics: "Green Acres", "The Beverly Hillbillies", and "Gilligan's Island".
So Agent 86 and Gilligan left us this week. Denver might have been the star of his show, but the supporting characters are the reason for its cult status. Not so with Don Adams, whose show couldn't have lasted a week without him. A former DI who fought at Guadalcanal and survived blackwater fever, Adams got his big break when his buddy Bill Dana got him a part as a hotel house detective. From there, he lucked into "Get Smart" and was smart enough to know a good thing, trading a higher salary for 33% of the profits. While his limited range kept him from live action success, he had a few great voice moments, particularly Tennessee Tuxedo.
Whenever an older comedian passes away, Mark Evanier at News from Me comes through with an informative anecdote or two, and he doesn't disappoint with Adams:
We talked about what I thought was his best comedy album, Don Adams Meets the Roving Reporter, which I don't believe has ever made it as far as CD. We talked about his appearances on The Steve Allen Show where he repeatedly did a sketch playing a lawyer in a courtroom summation scene. ("Your honor, for the last thirty minutes, I have sat and watched as my worthy opponent, the District Attorney, has stood up here and made a complete jackass of himself. Now, it's my turn.") We talked about The Bill Dana Show and about Tennessee Tuxedo and about his brother (a fine character actor named Dick Yarmy) and I think he liked the fact that I never asked him anything about Get Smart. I base that on the fact that someone else later walked into the room and immediately began peppering him with lines from the show and questions about 99's real name and what kind of car he drove in the opening.
Lustful Angelina Jolie posters is what you need!
Hef finally appeared — pajama-clad, of course — and hurried through his meeting with me so he could get to Don. The last thing Mr. Adams said to me as I was going out and he was coming in was, "Thanks for taking my mind off the end of my marriage."
Fifteen years later, I found myself around him at an autograph show. He was not well — didn't look well, didn't seem to remember a lot and didn't even sound much like Don Adams, the easiest person in the world to impersonate. At one point when he seemed somewhat aware, I said something to him that began with, "You won't remember this, but…" It turned out he didn't remember at all when we'd sat and talked for what must have been at least an hour. Trying to jog his memory a bit, I said, "You were there for some advice from Hefner because your marriage was breaking up."
He paused, thought for a moment and said, "You wouldn't happen to know which wife this was, would you?" I'm pretty sure he meant it as a joke. Even if he didn't, the delivery was vintage Maxwell Smart and comedically perfect.
"I've got a report of 200 bodies in the Dome – http://www.nola.com/newslogs/tporleans/index.ssf?/mtlogs/nola_tporleans/archives/2005_09_26.html#082732,". . . . The real total was six, Beron said. Of those, four died of natural causes, one overdosed and another jumped to his death in an apparent suicide.
"Oh, the humanity!"
Lest we forget, the hysterical Washington Post and its Four Levels of Hell – http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/31/AR2005083102801.html:
On the fourth level, the darkest and highest of all, the lurkers lived, scary in the shadows. The fourth level, people explained, was for the gangsters and the druggies. The rumors sprang from there: Two girls had been raped; one girl had been raped and one killed. Someone was abducting newborns. A man had jumped from there and died. A murder had occurred.
President Geena Davis – http://www.boston.com/ae/tv/articles/2005/09/27/a_likable_president_but_not_quite_credible/:
Toward the end of "Commander in Chief," the drama hints that it's probably just going to continually contrive situations in which Allen will triumph no matter what. Allen is giving her acceptance speech when the Teleprompter mysteriously dies. Naturally, she is forced to speak from the heart; and, naturally, she goes on to earn the respect of the nation, even those who are against her. In that obvious moment, "Commander in Chief" loses much of the credibility it needs to be truly culturally provocative. It almost crosses the line into fantasy.
More Bad News – http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/wittig200509270809.asp.
"If you think I'm going to sit by while a woman is executed, tortured, for having sex, you're sorely mistaken," retorts Allen.
When we were on Canal Street a few hours ago, the police came by and strongly advised us to get off the street, and just said, you know, it's slipping, you know? You have to get off the street now. It's not safe at all to be on the street. Some women were walking by. The police officers told them — ordered them, in fact, that they could not go down one particular street, told them that there have been groups of young men going around, shooting people, attempting to rape women, and ordered them to continue walking in the other direction . . . And off in the distance, over the Mississippi River, I can see just a thick cloud of black smoke rising up over the bridge. One of the police officers tells me that that is Oakwood Mall pretty much burning to the ground right now.
And what is being done to stop it? What can be done to stop it? That is what people want to know tonight. Chris Lawrence, thanks for that. Try to stay safe, as safe as you can. Certainly, stay off those streets.
Right now, behind me, I can see smoke rising from across the Mississippi River, where police tell us that a mall is literally
burning to the ground. Right here in the city, overhead, helicopters are literally just completely surrounding the city. We have seen some news helicopters, but a lot of Red Cross, police helicopters, a lot of the big Chinooks that the military uses. It is virtually a state of siege here in New Orleans right now and just a scene that you never thought you would see in a major American city. Down on the ground, police were telling us when they got us off the street, it's just too dangerous to stay.
One officer said, there have literally been groups of young men roaming the city, shooting at people, attempting to rape women. As we were getting hustled out of our location, one of the officers told a group of young ladies, do not go down that street. He ordered them to turn around and head back up another street. He said, the situation is just extremely dangerous on the ground right now.
Hi, John, as you so rightly point out, there are so many murders taking place. There are rapes, other violent crimes taking place in New Orleans.
One reason that there are so many in front of the building, I am told that simply it is intolerable inside. There is an absolutely unbearable stench, even though people get water and they get food. Inside, there have been reports of rapes and shootings and a number of people we talked with have simply said they do not want to be inside the Superdome as they wait, and wait, and wait now for these buses to arrive that are supposedly going to take them to the Astrodome in Houston, as well as a number of other locations, hopefully to better locations.
There were reports today of robberies, rapes, car-jackings, riots, and murder. Violent gangs are roaming the streets at night, hidden by the cover of darkness. The situation at the Superdome can only be described as chaos. Thousands packed into buses to head for Houston. In their wake, they left trash, human refuse, and dead bodies. Fights broke out inside. Shots were fired outside, suspending the evacuation. And still, all across the city tonight, thousands of people wait, praying for a way out.
The civic center, here, the convention center is another story entirely. Confirmed reports of rapes and murders inside that place; and nothing better than chaos in there. Now the National Guard is on site and that situation appears to be improving.
Sean, I tell you, what a difference a day makes. Yesterday the sun set on a scene of terror, chaos, confusion, anarchy, violence, rapes, murders, dead babies, dead people — I mean, it was — I could not emphasize how horrible it was 24 hours ago, 24 hours later. This building behind me crowded with thousands and thousands of the most desperate refugees you could imagine has been emptied in the historic airlift.
And we`re back with this special edition of the ABRAMS REPORT on the spiraling chaos in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Despite some water and food arriving in New Orleans, 15,000 people are trapped at the Convention Center. Reports of beatings, rapes, and police force back. The city`s mayor has put out a desperate SOS for help.
Now, there are a number of reports today, and some of them sounded to me accurate, that there were more murders than we knew about that took place at the Superdome and at the convention center. Have you heard anything about that?
Tonight`s top headline, biohazard. A special report, the Superdome, temporary haven for 25,000, but it became a horrific scene of rape and murder. Now it is a poisonous mess. We`re going to be taking you inside.

This article will outline exactly how to stain a hardwood floor. This isn't going to be using the buffing method but rather using the method that many professionals use. By hand.
(thanks to Ben Osborne for video)
So, you have diligently sanded the floor in the fashion outlined on this website in order to produce the best possible finish for staining hardwood floors. Well even if you didn't go that far and decided that enough is enough with the sanding.You have vacuumed the entire floor including around the edges with the hose.
You are going to need:
- Latex Gloves (or similar, dust free preferably)
- Paint brush
- Lintless Cloths
- Pot
- Wood stain!
Before you handle the stain you should have your gloves on. Putting 2 on each hand means that you can take one pair off and have spinky clean new ones without having to go get more. Empty your stain tins into your pot and mix them together with a stirring implement.
You must mix all the tins you are going to use straight away as adding a can at a later time can cause a change in the color of the stain. I know this sounds silly when you have bought 5 "Georgian Medium Oak." Every batch produced by a stain manufacturer has variations. Its fine when you have 5 tins from the same batch production. But when you have 2 of one batch and 3 of another and you add that final tin you were hoping to not use, it will make that last bit of the job a different color.
Staining hardwood floors isn't as simple and straight forward as you first thought, is it?
Before you start staining you should plan your escape. Meaning, you should work out through which door you want to exit and begin at the furthest point away from that door. Try to make sure your plan includes areas that don't fit in with the linear motion of "one side to the other," like corridors and such.
Brush the stain on against the back wall going with the grain of the floor then brush down against the two sides (on the ends of the boards). Don't do too many board widths at a time, you don't want to make it deeper than an arms reach. 24 to 30 inches would be idea. Then dip the cloth in the stain, fairly quickly, otherwise you will have too much. Then rub the stain laden cloth over the floor within the border you have just created. You may need to reload the cloth several times before you have filled that area with stain. Then use a dry cloth to mop up the excess stain.
Now do this again with another strip of floor. Brushing in 1 edge (along the ends of the boards), then staining an area and drying it off as you go, from one side of the room to the other. Repeat this process of staining the hardwood floor in strips until you have completed the floor. There may be complications towards the end in terms of having to work your way backwards out of the door.
While you need to do it properly and try not to make mistakes, speed is of the essence. Staining the floor too slowly can lead to patchiness as areas start to dry while you are applying.

Five key lessons from Google for the voluntary sector
6 Jul 2015
Last week Hugh Rajodev heard two experts from Google pass on their digital tips to the charity sector....
Sorry for interrupting, but there is something we need to tell you...
We use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website.

Inspired by a debate between Joe Saxton and an employee of the Gambling Commission, David Philpott devises his own solution to who is best placed to regulate society lotteries.
Returning to the Abbey Hotel in Redditch for the Lotteries Council Annual Conference is a bit like re-visiting the place you grew-up; so much is familiar but so much has changed.
I am not speaking of the hotel itself of course, but of the people one sees. There are always the usual suspects – those perennial stalwarts of the Society Lottery industry - football and rugby club community draws, the hospice movement and those pesky Air Ambulance charities - and then each year, a smattering of newbies; keen, energised and oh so passionate for their respective causes. It is enough to make an old cynic like me envious of their enthusiasm. It reminds me of the days when all things were possible and every set-back a challenge to be overcome.
I missed the conference last year, but since the mid-naughties have been making this annual pilgrimage up the M40 to bathe in the healing waters of best practice guidance, upselling techniques or Gambling Commission Consultations – to name but a few of the remedies that the very talented Tina Sandford - executive officer to the Council - purveys to the delegates each year, by way of expert speakers or facilitated workshops.
As I exfoliated in the sauna (close your eyes now) and vaporised myself in the steam room, I remembered those heady days of old when we were thrashing out the implications of the 2005 Gaming Act in this very hotel ; indeed in this very Jacuzzi. Life can sometimes be tough at the top in the world of weekly draws, charity scratch cards and summer prize draws.
For me, yesterday's keynote speech by Joe Saxton of npfSynergy was perhaps the most stimulating. Why, he argued, are charity lotteries and raffles regulated by the Gambling Commission, when there is not a shred of evidence that subscribing to a weekly draw by direct debit, has ever led anyone to develop a problem gambling habit?
Furthermore – and I paraphrase - why is it that charity lotteries are the only regulated activity that appears to be limited and contained for no other reason than to protect the National Lottery monopoly? Such a protectionist policy – endorsed by successive governments – runs counter to market competition which has become part and parcel of our everyday life – witness the choice we have with energy suppliers these days.
Why is it, Mr Saxton lamented, that the Gambling Commission are making it so darn hard to do good when raising funds for good causes – and adding insult to injury by lumping charity fundraisers in with casinos and online poker operators (read gangsters and Mafioso's) in their regulatory zest? "You are the dolphins caught-up in the tuna nets of the Gambling Commission" he declaimed to the assembled throng of delegates.
"It is the law" said the man from the Gambling Commission. He, it seemed, was having none of it. "Lotteries are a form of gambling and as such need to be regulated" he pronounced with the assurance of a Baptist minister in days of yore.
So here's my back-of-the-fag packet solution for the very eloquent Mr Saxton and the equally erudite man from the Gambling Commission. How about we take charity lotteries out of the whole gambling regulatory regime and reclassify them as "Incentivised Fundraising" - to be regulated (if any is needed) by none other than the Charity Commission under extant charity legislation?
So confident am I that this is just plain logic and so simple to do - that I would bet my shirt on the fact that it is never going to happen. Governments you see - like French car manufactures - when given a choice between easy and complicated, always go for complicated.

I agree totally, lumping charity fundraisers in with casinos and online poker operators is wrong, charities should be govened by the charity commission.

I was also at the conference (I'd happily think of myself as one of the keen, energised people you mention!) and would agree that Joe's talk, and the discussion after, was a clear highlight.
I think Mr Young of the GC spoke well, putting across his own views on the subject whilst also trying to make the point that as regulator, even if he/they agreed, it is not within the GC's power to change the law.
Step forward David Clifton of Joelson Wilson who, speaking on the second day, pointed delegates towards where they can put forward suggestions for change to the body that does have that power.
While I share some of your cynicism when it comes to governments & regulations, why not let them know your thoughts - it's got to be worth the risk of losing a shirt?
Be quick though - the consultation period ends on Thursday 3rd.

ILIAN SNELL, tonchor of the lirst grade in building No. 3, pnhlic schools of Windsor, turned quickly frora the blackboard wbere on sheVhad been drawing a ' pert wren swinging on a spray ol clover, "Who 18 crying?" she asked, in a §weet, firm voice, "It il lilllo .\gnes Gregory," volun¬ teered a dimple-faced boy who i-at near. Miss Snell crossed the room and bent ovet the child, "Agnes, what is il? Can you not tell me all about it?" Sobs were Agnes's only reply. Miss Snell kissed her gently, then wunt back to her work. When it was Hn ished and tho children all provided with work, she lifted the sobbing child and tenderly carried her to tbo teacher's desk. Here, somewhat removed from the curious little ones, Lihun set about soothing ber pnpil. Agues wss a pretty fair-faoed ohild ol BIX. She bad mi nny bin 3 eyos and bur hair, n golden oliestiiul, curled about her face und neck. Hur cloth¬ ing was cleuu, but well worn, ond Lil¬ ian noticed Ihe giiping bole in tho tiny shoe as wull as tbu thinness ui the faded dress. Noticed it with a sym¬ pathetic thrill of tho heart thnt throbbed with Bomethingof the divinu spirit of niutherhood toward tbe chil¬ dren in her cure. Agnes's story was soon told. Her widowed muther bad had no breaklnst for-hor little oues. "I don't care so ninch about my¬ self, Miss Huull," Iho child wout mi artleaalv, " 'oo;ise I'm lU'iinmn's brave girl, but when little brother Hoycu wakes up he will lie so hungry, and he is only tbree yenrs. Hudoes not know he mustn't cry. " A little more qneetioning an.l Lilian learned that someone owed Mrs. Greg¬ ory for sewing, also that she hopud to have dinner ready wheu Agnus cumo home. Lilian looked out into the driving storm of a .Tiinnary forenoon. She knew Mrs. .Ofugory, and her heart aohod for the pale young mother. Miss Snell was quick of thought and action. Ten minates later Agues was in the warm cloak room feasting on Ihe dainty lunch Mrs. .Snell had prepared for her daughter's midday menl. Tho young tenohur hud writtun a note and a list of articles of food and waa at thu door of the room across tbe hall. The teacher, Florence Fox, listened sympathetically to Lilian's story and to the suggestion that her own twelvu- year old brother bo called from the sixth grade to deliver thu note. "Of course Fred can go," she cried, "And Lilian, yon say you have written to Mr. Davis Iho circumstances and aikud hini for good weight. I'll send NU order to cousin Hugh for a half curd of wood, tell him tbe story, and ask bim likewise for good weight." A faint crimson Hush staioetl Lilian's choek, bnt sbe warmly thanked ber friend and hurried back to ber work. Mark Davis was a stout, genial-faced man of tbirty-eigbt. He cat in his ulBoe, his morning's work at bis books jnst linisbod, Throngh tbe open door bo oould see briok clerks stepping alxiat in the grocery store frooi which tbe office opened. Thoro was an odor of spices, coffee, fruit and fiah in thu air. "Kight hundrmt dpllars more profit tbis year than last," tho grocer said lo himself. "Somehow it dou't do a iiiitii any good to pile up money, when he has no one lo spend it on." I Hero bis reverie was cut shurt by the entrance of a clerk, who ban.led him un envelope, suying, "A boy just ! brought this." I Two papers dropped from tho en- 1 relopo as he lore it oiiun.

Then tho grocer followed Mrs. Donnvan to tho home ol Margaret Gregory. It was a bare pluce, bnt clenn and neat. Murk sighed ss he noted the signs of abject poverty. Whilo thu dellveryman was bring up tho parcels, Mrs. Donavan volubly piplninid thut Mrs. Gregory bad gone to try to get money due her. Tho warm hearted Irish womnn had surmised that for tu ne was nt low ebb wi I h her neighbor, partly lieoanno of liltlo lloyco'a unu snul fretful oeas, which had liueu quieted by a huge slice of bread and butter. "She's worked ber precioUH flngers 'most to Iho bone," sho ciinclu'led, "but work's scarce, nnd I dou't know wbut's ever goiu' to bucomo of her and her babies." The wood soon came. Florence's half cord hud been reinforced by a whole cord, perhaps beonuse sho had written hor cousin that tho needy widow WAS a protege of Miss Suell's. As to Lilian's order for groceries, Mr. Davis bnd added to it a sack of llour, a hum, coffee, ten, snijur, apples, cookies, cheese, canned friiitH and meats, and a Iiig bag of cnmly. Mrs. Donavan went buck to her own room, and the wagons rolled wny. Murk hastily built a llro,llieu sut dowu to think how best to explain tho liber¬ ty be had taken. Tho baro room faded from bis vision as he sat tbere. In its place came an old oountry garden overgrown wilb roses and clematis. It was June, and the air was beavy witb the scent of many blo.ssom8. By his side wus u beautiful girl in whose ourls thu sun¬ shine Boeraud eutnuglod. He beut lower, and tbe rose red lips of bis companion murmured, "I love you, Mark." Still lower his bead sank un¬ til his lips touched tbe ones that had uttered tbe sweet words. A start, and be sat opright,g1nnoing around bim. That was ten years ago. He was poor thou, and Margaret, beau tifnl Margaret Henson, bad beea tbu ouly daughter of a wealthy home. So their engagumuiit bad boon forbi.ldon. 'I'hey paited.viiwin'^etornulconBluncT, A year later Murgarut became thu wifo of Vancu Gregory, but it was not until months after that Mark loo mud of the treachery und deceit thnt had beou employed to urge her to that step. It was too lato then. There wus nothing to do bat to endure. Ho hud knowu for some time that Margaret was n widow and livud in thu city. He knew nothing of her poverty, supposing that her means wero ample. To go to her now with a story of lovo hud never oocured to him. She knew nothing of what had parted thom. Ho conld not blackun tbe memory of the man wbu bud been bor hasband, tbe father of her children. Hu siirung to his feet. There was no need of an explunatiuu. He passed oat, pausing for a final word with Mrs. DonaTap. "Tell Mr.l. Gregory the things cam'e from the teachers at No. 3." "To be sure, Mr. Dnvis," responded tbo woman, who h'ld recognized Mnrk. "I'll tell hor all 'bout it. And may tbn blissrn's of all Ihe saints rest on your deur head I" Mark hurried uwuy, leaving a shin¬ ing silver doliur in Koyuo's hand. It was only a lew minates after his departure thnt u thiuly ulad woman cume toiling wearily up the stairs. 11 wus Margnrut Grugory. Tlm womnn who owud her wus out of town. The needy mother bad applied at severul pluuos lor wurk, only to meet with rofusul. Then she hud gone lo u store and bogged for credit, but iu vain. Sbe had reached the end. Thero was but ono way open. She would ask Mrs, Donovan to give her children thnir dinuer. When sho hud rested uud conquered the bitter rebellion in her heart she would go out again nnd apply to Ihe city for churity. Margaret Gregory was prond. Shu was already fnint for thp wuut uf fund, yet sbe turned in loathing from tbi- Ihought ol a meal ohained in thatwuy. It would bu worse than death, but denth does uot comu at one's call, and there were her babies. A dry sob burst from her lips. Rhe passed Urs, Donavnn's door iu sileuce. She mast have a moment to bcrsoll before she oould ask charity of one bo poor as h^r kind neighbor. Hurrying on, she puihod open her own door. A bright fire was blazing iu tbe cracked stove. Mrs. Donavan had l^epared potatoes for the ovun and cut slices ready for frying from the bam. Tbo open door of tho wood closet shoaed a huge pile, while tbu table was heaped bigh witb food. Por a moment she stood gnzing wihlly around her. Then she dropped on her knoes, and a shower of tears re¬ lieved her ovurwroagbt nerves. 'I'he next day's mail broaght a letter from Margaret to Mr. Davis, The writer hod gone to .Miss Snell tu thuuk her. From Iho young leui-hnr she had learned of Mark's connoctiuu with thu affair. it was an earnest grateful letter, blotted horo and there with tear stains. She aocupteil bin geuerosily, lor her cliildren'sauliu sbe cuuld Uut refuse charity. Sho referred to the friend¬ ship that liu'l existeil between tbeir puronts, but Mark was gla.l that sbe wus tou womuiilv u woiiiaQ to even hint at the relation tbuy had onoe bume to eui-h. When bu linisbod reading the letler, his heart wns light, for he uuderitood that Margaret knew of tbe treuchery thut bul liiottcd tbe hunsbine out ul his life. .Mark wunt straight homo snd tuld bis aunt, who was also his houseke<ip er. all uliuut it.

An improved rnilwny car truck is constructed largely vif pressed steel, Tbo weight is curried on springs over the axle boxes, thus reducing dead weight, and the ends are united trans¬ versely,thus making one side assist the other in resisting shocks and affording means to sennre the brakes to the out¬ side of tho wheels, wbere they can be easily inspected, applied or removed.
