Mr, Booth is not hopelessly blind. He has but lost his eyesight Blindness is the most terrible of all man’s physical afflic tions, ordinarily, but is it so in the case of this man? Mr. Booth has spent the larger part of his lifetime of nearly ninety years in trying to do good to others. He has not needed eyes to see where help was needed. Eyesight has not determined how to help. Luxury, worldly ambition have passed him by unseen by him, for his sight was wholly spiritual, In our mental musings, in our dreams, in our best ambitions, we have visions without the aid of eyes. The spiritual sight is strong and never hope- less. To Mr. Booth the material things of this earth have long been very dim and to him whose whole existence has been so strongly spiritual the total eclipse of physical vision cannot mean uch of a change. Nay, the good old man one of the blind who really se “Hopelessly blind?” ALASKA’S volcanic eruption may result in attracting enough attention of the politicians in Washington away from their politics to result in a little much-needed legislation for the great territory. TO LOOK strictly fashionable, a giri should look as if she had @ained at feast twenty pends after her clothes were made. Queer Times in Spain Wo is the chap who said, “Give me the luxuries of life and PU get along without the necessaries?” The good old town of Seville, Spain, is yearning for him Food, clothing and house rent are out ight, but you can to the theatre all the way from 4 cents for picture shows, to cents for grand opera. Flowers range all the way from 1 cent for a buttonhole bouquet of jasmine or violets to 18 cents a dozen for midwinter roses. You can hire a good carriage for 45 cents an hour. Sut while the necessities are as high and higher than in the United States, wages are pitiably low. F example, household servants, $3.60 a month and board; wharf men, 36 cents a day; motormen, 54 cents a day ; bank clerks, $12 &@ month. Gee, how do they live! mostly on beans and peppers.

The City Liveable Frederic C. Howe, new head of the People’s Institute in New York, says: “In the city people live close together. And Civilization means just this: the close living of the people.” Hence, he argues that we have got to make the city eminently liveable. He doesn’t sympathize with the back-to-the-land Movement, because he thinks the city is the place where we are pine to get our refinement and our comfort, as well as our iv ing. 3ut he admits that we must do a great deal better to make the city agreeable or there will be trouble. Better homes, better amusements, better public services of every kind—that’s his idea.

Bo You REALLY Know? \. ‘The reason why many teas do not go very far is that they are colored, and adulterated in other ways, to make them more pleasing to the eye. Coloring tea robs it of much of its strength and flavor. Ridgways Tea is NEVER colored; NEVER adullyrated. Py Many teas are rolled and twisted by hand. The process Is for the purpose of breaking the minute cella so that the ha leaves will readily impart their essence to boiling water. It is ime posible to break every cell by hand twisting. Ridgways Tea bs twisted by automatic machinery, which ruptures every cell This is another reason why it goes farther—and is cleaner. The exquisite flavor of Ridgways Tea is partly due to the fact that it is grown on the finest soil on earth for tea growing. Another reason is that throughout every process of its culture and packing, the most discriminating care is exer cised to insure its invariable standard of perfection. Don't put off the pleasure of tasting this superlative tea. Ie Sentet Ate Tight Page.
