"XO CHARGE; tAKE 1TU
When the War Department tele
graphed H*nry Ford that It want
ed to secure an assembling pl&nt
which he owned he Bent back the
characteristic reply, "No charge;
take it.**
Heury Ford is & manufacturer,
an* his action, while it received a
great deal of publicity is merely
typical ot the attitude of the manu
facturer* oX the United States. On
almost the same day there appear
ed in the newspapers a statement
tltft the United States Steel Cor
poration had increased the wages
ten per cent voluntarily, and thai
tbic was an increase oX about forty
five per cent in a comparativelj
short time. Small space Fas &lv
en to this announcement, but it u
extremely significant, nevertheless.
The War Deartmpent praised Mi
For'i very highly for his action
and the Government generally ha<
praised the Steel Corporation. Thesi
two i'ems stand out in a day's newt
but in the rush, to gather and pub
lish newa day by day hundreds oi
other incidents of a similar charac
ter are overlooked.—American In

DIET FOR NEPHRITIS.
Proper Food For Thos« Afflicted Will
Inflamed Kidney'e.
Iu nephritis or Intlamtaatiou of th»
, kidneys diet is a v^ry Important pari
of the treatment. Tlie diet is planned
( to reduce the tax on the kliluey to th(
lowest terms. Beverages and fluid fooli
are limited, no salt is added to food
certain vegetables which contain muct
salt are avoided nud meat is cut oul
entirely.
Dr. Arthur F. Chare, professor ol
medicine, and I>r. Anton It. Rose, as
soclate In pathological chemistry In thi
New York Post Oraduate Medlca
School and hospital, give iu the Jour
nal of the American Medical associa
tlou a study of diet for nephritic nuf
ferers.
The general plan of the dietary Is
as follows: "A warm cno!<rd cereal, gen
»rallv farina served with milk, Is Rivet,
for breakfast. This is sometimes re
placed by oatmeal or a baked banana,
md toast and a citrus fruit are occa^
donally added.
"The uoou meal ccu.:!sts of a plulti
soup made from milk. fl<mr and butter,
given mainly t» supply an agreeable
hot dish, though it Is also utilized as
a medium for introducing variety by
adding celery, asparagus or spinach;
a main dish consisting of baked |>ota
to, uow and then replaced by a buktfd
half ripe banana ami steamed rice; a
liberal portioi of green vegetable and a
lettuce salad with oil dressing, flavored
with lemon or vinegar.
"The evening meal is coni|>osed of
such articles as rii>e bananas, rice pud
ding, cornstarch blancmange, steamed
rice with baked bananas and stewed
fniiL Milk aud cocoa In limited yuan
tlties are served as beverage."
From this general outline it is not
difficult to construct twenty different
menus that will contain great variety.
Significant Shake*.
As the thumbs of a dying person fold
beneath the fingers, so the handwrit
ing begins to disintegrate when the
Intellectual futilities and physical
vigor are on the wane. Observations
of this kind are possible, for there is
no outward sign fur each separate
nerve degeneration. The User of drugs
and stimulants can be easily discov
ered. for each one nf these positions
has its particular quiver or irregular
ity.—Industrial Management. "
Phonoyrapha an War Plana*.
In certain conditions of flight it is
often hard for an aviator to use a pen
•II and paper. To obviate this difficulty
the military aeroplane now frequently
carries a phonograph, with a speaking
rube running to the mouth of the' ob
server, so that by talking into the ma
chine at any time during the flight he
••an record his observations and Still
have his hands free for his Held glass
or his sketching pencil. —London Tit

Life of tha Wasp.
There isn't a male wasp in existence
when winter ends. Late the preceding
fall the wasps mate. The coming cold
weather kill? every worker and male,
while Mrs. Wasp hies herself to a con
venient place and hibernates, ready to
come forth in the spring and lay eggs

or five times at night to pass thein.
I worked in a lead mine a number
