In the days of King David the Bible was a scanty book; yet he loved it well, ‘and found daily wonders in it. Genesls, with its sublime narration of how God made the worlds, with its glimpses of patriarchal ‘ piety, and dark disclosures. of .gigantic sin; Exodus;. with its glorious marchings through . ‘that great wilderness, [ts thrilling meorials of Jehovah's out- stretched arm, and the volume of the written la eviticus, through whose flickering. s David’s eye discerned the shadows;of better things to come; Numbers, with its natural history of the heart of euteronomy, with 1ts vindlcation .of the ways of God; Joshua ‘and ' Judges, with their chap- ters of providence, their stirring inci- dents, and ' peaceful episodes; the memoir of Job; 80 fraught with spirit- ual experience; and the domestic an- nals of Ruth, which told to her grand- son such a tale of divine foreknowl- edge and love and care, all converging on himself, or rathet on David’s son and David’s Lord; these were David's Bible, and he desired it beyond all his riches. But you have yet an ampler Bibli— a Bible with psulms and preghets in it—a Bible with gospeis and eplsties. —James Hamilton. Keep the Mina Healthy. 1f you would be healthy, look to your thoughts. The health stream, it pol- luted ‘at all, is polluted at the foun- tainhend—in the thought, in the ideal. | You cannot hold -ill-health thoughts, disease thought: in mind, without hav- Ing them pictured in the body. The thought will be expressed in the body somiewhere, and its quality will deter- mine the results—sound or unsound, healthful or unhealthful. There can- not be harmony, ease in the body with disease in the mind. Never affirm or repeat or think about your health what you do not wish to be true.—Ex. change, HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT IN CANADA ADVANCES Ediaonton, Alberta, May 30—High- way improvement is going forward rapidly in Canada. Ten per cent of the Dominion’s road mileage has been graveled or surfaced, says the annual report of the Canadian Good Roads association, and there is one mile of rod for every twenty-one | residents. In the western provinces roud building has been hastened by the influx of settlers and subsequent expansion of agriculture, Thous- ands of motor trucks supplement the horse-drawn vehicles. Caijada’s highways represent an investment of $574,000,000. Plans for the Arlington Natfonal fmprovement of cemetery have Ibeen submittéd to Quartermaster Gen-|. 'eral Rogers by the commission of fine arts. The quartermaster general ap- the secretary of war, who referred them to the War Memorials council. ‘This body also approved the plans, 'whereupon the secretary also gave his approval, and they are now to be imade the basls for the development of that cemetery. : Arlington is a national shrine, sacred to the memory of the thou- sands of soldier dead, naméd and un- named, who lie buried under the shade of its trees. This sacred char- acter should be protected and fostered. Monument or treatment of a self-as- sertive or grotesque character should be rigldly excluded. Quiet, simplicity, reverence should prevafl. Of Historic Interest. Arlington is also a historic place. Its builder, George Washington Parke Custis, was the adopted son of George Washington. His father gave his life for his country during the Revolution; and he himself was reared at Mount ‘Vernon, where he lived until he com- pleted Arlington house in 1804. At his death. Arlington passed into the possession of his daughter, the wifg ‘of. Robert E. Lee, and was occupied iby Genera] and Mrs, Lee until It came into possession of the government., Its 'historical importance should be con- sidered; in methods of treatment. Arlington_prospectively IS n portion of the great central composition of |Washington, extending from the cap- itol through the mall to the monu- ‘ment and on to the Lincoln memorial, whence the memorial bridge, already authorized by congress, will cross the Potomae to the newly created park ‘area ndloining the Arlington estate. 2 Plans of ‘Development. Arlington has certain dominating features to be considered in the plan of development. Among them arve: The mansion house will stand as thie termination of the axis of the memorial bridge, leading. from the MICKIE, KIN SEE MR. BRIGGSES Fil ON H' CEWING, WHERE Soldler,” written by Angela Morgun, were read at the services in Arlington ceme- the League of American Pen Women: He is known to the sun-white Majes- ties s Who stand at the gates of dawn; He is known to the cloud-borne com- pany Whose souls but late have gone. Like wind-flung stars through lattice bars, They throng to greet their own, With voice of flame they sound his name Who died to us unknown. He is .hailed by the time-crowned brotherhood, By the Dauntless of Marathon, By Raymond, Godfrey and Lion Heart, Whose dreams he carried on. His ndme they call through the heav- enly hall, Unheard by earthly ear. He is claimed by the famed in Ar- cady Who knew no title here. Oh, faint was the lamp of Sirius, And dim was the Milky W: Oh, far was the floor of Paradise From the soil where the soldier lay. Oh, chill and stark was the crimson dark Where huddled men lay deep; .His comrades all denied his call— Long had they lain asleep. Oh, strange how the lamp of Sirius Drops low to the dazzled eyes; Oh, strange how the steel-red battle fields Are floors of Paradise. Oh, strange how the ground with never a sound Swings open, tier on tier, And standing there in the shining air Are the friends he cherished here. They are known to the sun-shod sen- cls Who circle the morning's door. They ate led by a cloud-bright com- pany ‘ Through paths unseen before.

In the book unbound their names are found— They are known in the courts of Godl —Angela Morgan. wooded slopes in front of the man- sion are among the most beautiful landscapes in Washington, and they should be kept free from disturbance ‘of any kind. The plans for the man- sion house aim to restore its orl inal character as a distinctive house of its historlc period. These plan made in the depot quartermaster's office, should be carried out in the spirit in which they have been de- vised. In the section devoted to burials of soldiers, the treatment represented by the uniformsmall headstones crected in regular formation and completely shaded by trees Is the one that should ‘prevail throughout the entire ceme- tery. It is these very tree-shaded areas that give Arlington its fine and characteristic quality. Today these open fields Arlington is fast losing its present distinction. be spured to continue the planting over the present bare and shadeless areas. More Trees Are Needed. Both the World war and the Spanish war sections should be planted with trees that will produce shade to cover the entire arex. In the World war sectlon a planting scheme should be adopted In advance of the scheme for graves, or at least the two plans should be simultaneous. This means the immediate selection and planting of thousands of trees in the now vacant spuces of Arlington. Today these treeless portions, so out of harmony with the general appear- rance of the cemetery, give one the ‘iden: that the graves of our latest heroes are belng placed rather in a | potter's field than in an honored loca- tion, ’!The rules made several years ago to regulate the character of monu- o @ems‘ marking the graves of officers Have had a quieting effect; but in the newer area sef apart for officers there is need of trees. The regula- tions against mausoleums, portraits, and unusual “designs should be en- forced for the protection of the many against the self-assertion of the few. The oflicers whose careers need eulogy, on a tombstone should not be accorded in Arlington the credit that history denles. Roadway Should Be Improved. The road in front of Arlington cemetery should be improved and de- veloped along the entire frontage. \Lincoln memorial to Arlington.

Hundreds of special police are entrusted with the| regulation of traffic. | Many thousands yearly make the journey by rail, the three stations near the track disgorging endless freights of humanity from 9 a, m. on- ; wards, while other thousands walk distances from five to twenty-five miles. King George, Queen Mary, Duke of York, Princes Henry and George, will probably all witness the race. No very great hopes are entertained as to a royal victory, although the royal entry, Weathervane, was ex- ‘nccted to run well, despite his dis- appointing show in the 2,000 Guin- cas at Neumarket a month ago.

Puts This New MONARCH Malleable Range In Your Home Don’t Buy Any Range Until You | ‘Examine the MONARCH . When you buy a new range you naturally ex- pect it to give you good service with low fuel cost for a good many years. But if you are go- ing to experience the kind of satisfaction you look forward to, you have got to “be careful what kind of a range you buy. ‘ You must not buy a range built of ordinary ma- terials, made tight with stove putty, and expect it to give you the kind of service your friend or neighbor is getting from her Monarch Range. If you do not already know why Malleable Iron, used the Monarch way, is absolutely necessary to long and satisfactory service, come in and let us explain it to you. See for yourself the riveted joints—which are ‘made ‘tight “forever by riveting the steel plates to a solid malleable iron base. See the Vitrifused Rust Resisting Flues, which make the steel parts of the Mon- arch last as long as the unbreakable malleable iron parts. *, See the Duplex Draft—the Mirco Process Top— and all the other features thatshaye., MIONARCH its proud reputation ifi range ever built.
