Additional territory was brought in as the line was straightened, the American troops on the extreme right along the Mosello river for the greatest gains. It was not a day of battle for uround, however, so much as for the establishment of a more definite fr.m:. Notwithstanding the evidence that much time has been spent In improving the llindenbiirg line, it would not surprise military critics here if it were yielded without a sreat I he Germans to sacritite even their old position to the obvious determination of the Americans lo advance Leyond the line.

The astonishing statement is made by Ibis writer that Kussia, 'neludiug Siberia, lias I.V-Ti.Omi.ooo acres of timber which Is per cent as much as the whole world possessed.

This resource is being set aside by Itussiaii economists as a fund to nay the coun try's debts.

EASY TO BLAME "OVERWORK" But According to Physician Few Real ly Suffer Bccnuae They Try to Do Too Much.

A doctor very wide experience has noted this phenomenon: every day men come to Mm," broken down in health; mid almost Invariably they inform Mm that the cause. Is "overwork." "Yet, on further questioning, this doctor finds that virtually none of bis patients work as bard as lie does. Yet lie Is well and they are sick; be is-strong and able to do bis work without exhaustion, and they can do little or no work any inure. This Is his deduction: that their breakdown was not due to work, but to a terrible loud of psychological and pl habits they bad been carrying a 1 so great that a very little wort; iii inldition overtaxed their wiining strength. What are these They V.II'.V with the individual, and their aspects are innumerable.

Work plain, wholesome hard work, 1 dtlicr physical or mental hurts very little. It hurts healthy people people who are healthy in mind and bodynot at all. Whai many people call "overwork" is fret tint; over their work worry. What many other people call "over-Work" Is loading their system with poison by overeat Kxchnnge. Proper Way to Keep Honey.

In se'llng honey ns a substitute for Mtgar the retnil jjroecr and Ids customers tuny encounter some ditllculty through lin of knowledge of storing nnd handling this product, according to American Food Journal. Housewives usually put their honey in the cellar for safekeeping, probably the Worst possible place, as honey absorbs iiiolslure from the atmosphere and will become thin nnd In time sunir. Comb honey kept in a damp place will be hurt In appearance as well as In quality. A pl iietleable rule Is to keep honey in any place where salt remains dry. If lioncy has granulated or candied, put the can containing it in a large Vessel holding water no bolter than the liiintl can be home In.

If the water Is too hot, there Is danger of spoiling the color nnd ruining the flavor of (he honey. The can of honey should be supported on 11 block of wood In the vessel of water, so that the lieat from the will not bo too Intense. The Point cf View.
