The republican and democratic par- ties are as far apart as they ever were upon the leading issue, the great eco- nomic question of the tariff, But lit- tle attention is pald tothis by the third-termer's party, the very. point upon which the two old parties are dlametrically opposed.

Everybody should be good enough to recognize the good in his fellow man. It is to be presumed that you know, or have heard of people, who never enjoy hearing others well spok- en of. This defect, for it is a real and pititul defect, is attributed to jealousy; and while this jealousy is sald to be most common among actors, it is found not to be so absent from some clergy- men. Everybody has it who does not like to hear other people praised; and who seem to have a sting for all who others compliment. They hope to shine by belittiing other people. A man who can only loom by such practices does not know how densely befogged he i8. He is the sport of selfishness— the hog that is in him keeps both feet in the trough. The world, as well as the amount of raw material which they| tne [ord loves the cheerful giver— have imported during the past eight months from forelgn countries, these imports being such raw materials as they secure from other parts Of the world. During 1912 these imports have been larger'than ever before, yet at the same time the exportation of finished manufactures showed a heal- thy increase over.the previous year, and like the imports are larger than in previous years. The importations of hides and skins for eight months this year amount to 409 million pounds or 122 million greater than last year. the giving of one’s self for the encour agement of others as well as of one's means. Get a grip on your speech when you are inclined to belittle anyone. “Where ignorance is bliss it is folly to be wise,” is so often quoted that it is spoken of as an old chestnut; but it isn’t. Let's take this as it applies to our consciousness that we are feel- ing ill.

What part the government can or will take in such a scheme lies in the future. Suggestion has been made that money available in the postal savings system could be turned to good use in that direction, being diverted as a loan for better roads.

Whether it attempts to go into the road building on its own account it can give the movement great ald by actively co- operating with the several states. THE CALL TO THE GREEKS. No better example of patriotism and allegiance to their country is displayed than that being shown by the Greeks throughout the country in returning to Greece to help fight for their coun- try in the stand for better conditions in Macedonia. From all sections of this country Greeks who, are in the reserve forces of the Grecian army are assembling and returning to their native land in response to the order for the mobilization of the reserves. At the first call they began to make preparations to depart and a large contingent is now on their long jour- ney home. This is being done at no Nttle sacrifice on the part of the Greeks, for they are unquestionably leaving jobs which pay them a great deal more than they will recelve as soldlers, to say nothing of the hard- ships which will have to be endured. Not only the reservists but others who have the welfare of Greece at heart and feel the need of giving their support are joining the thousands who are returning to get into the struggle. Tt only requires the word for the Greek spirit to be manifested and have it demonstrated that while many thou- sands are enjoying the privileges and opportunities of this councry, they haye not forgotten the fatherland and in response to the military call none goes more willingly than the Gresk. Tven though theyr may be subject te conscription they display a patriotism whick they can beproud of i farmland automatically | the Balkan blaze with better results than with firearms. The stingless bee does not equal his battling contemporary as a honey- maker. Thus he stings the consumer instead of an individual. The warden of the Rhode Island penitentiary 1s asked to resign. He took a brutal murderer for his “trusty.” and he has fled. A baboon is a safer pet. The fact that a woman is an actress and smokes cigarettes is not accepted by the New York courts as a reason why her child should be taken from her.

No one has been able to tell why they are called nuthatches, for they neither eat nuts, nor hatch them. They are the only American bird that can walk like a bird with feet above them. They seem to chat- ter rather than sing, and their notes seem to be chiefly notes of alarm.

You and | are creators and most our conditions of life are of our.owoxi creation, and we all do more or less slipshod work because we are ignor- ant of this fact and unmindful of our own power. Everybody is so gener- ously endowed that they have some- thing to give the world. If we were not born with a gold or silver spoon in our mouths, if we were children of weakness and adversity, we can give to all the best that is in us, and if we realized the worth of doing so to our- selves we should be particular to do it. It does not cost anything to be cordial, or to be agreeable or helpful. Saying pleasant things and doing kindly acts will create new condi- tions for those who have been morose and selfish.

Nearly one-half of the human family are troubled with it more or less. This fact presents a serious complication in the treatment of chronic disease. Thirty years ago when I was pre- scribing Peruna every day only a small fraction of the people needed a laxa- tive. But I have found by experience that more ‘and more a laxative must be used. Peruna originally contained no lax- ative element. I used to prescribe the Jaxative Manalin to be used in case a laxative was peeded. This ne- cessitated the patient buying two bot- tles of medicine instead of one. As_constipation became more gen- eral I finally conciuded to add a laxa- tive element to Peruna. The new Pe- runa is made with a laxative in- gredient. The olg Peruna (Ka-tar-no) is without a laxative. On that account some. prefer the old Peruna, some pre- fer the new Peruna. Thé new Peruna is for people who have some catarrhal ailment and yet need a laxative. Sold at all drug stores.

How many of the strutures that men build must prove only fuel for the flames! They cannot stand for a min- ute any searching moral analysis. Multitudes of imposing structures ‘would become but piles of ashes should the fire of God toch them. Fraud, deceit, cruelty, injustice are terribly combustible materials. So far as they are the foundation of any man’s success they are bound to let the whole building fall toppling into ruin. ‘Worked into the superstructure they melt away like wooden planks in a burning sky scraper. We live in a world where good and bad are so mixed, where evil is so oft- en crowned and dishonesty rewarded that men sometimes lose faith in the moral order of the universe. They forget that righteousness is as truly a iaw of the world as is gravitation, They forget that truth is the only thing fitted to endure. 1t is recorded that during a period of great financial depression in Spain Philip II, desired an expedient for debasing the coin of the realm. A chemist named Malen succeeded in producing in his laboratory “a certain powder of which one ounce, mixed with six ounces of quicksilver, would make six ounces of silver.” The ex- periment lookeq like a success until it came to the ultimate testing for mel composition, as the historian informs us, “was able to stand the test of the hammer but not of the fire.” Our cheap expedients and ready counterfeits must at last share a fate | like that when the “fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.” What will there be left then, do you suppose, of all our false seemings, our lying ap- pearances ,our apparent pieties, our falsehcods of all shades of color?

Fire may burn away the dross from a piece of ore but it does not burn the gold. The crucibles at the mint may boil and bubble like the clothes boiler on wash day but it is only the Impurities that are being removed.
