I You Cannot Maintain Your Health | and Lfflciency Unless You i Drink (loud Water Freely. If you would have health you must drink good water and plenty of it. Just now when spring is beginning operation, Ooccor Na-1 ture shows ihe W’ay. It's water | everywhere anJ in everything. iMan consists of Kfty-eight and a l)u)f per ceni of water, and water makes seventy per cent of the en tire body weight. The hjibits of man's cells are aquatic. Recent medical books written by the high* est authorities of Amcrica and Bu* rope—books published within the past two years—give new enjpha- sis to ihe need and value of water in ihc human system One of the most authoritative states that water is entitled to rank as .t food be cause u enters iino the snuv.'turdl composition of all foods as well as into i!(l‘tissues of the body. One oUhc in>;sE univc'sal dieiciic faults Is iie^:lecEing to titke water irx<i the system. Thi- lime is connng when every ei»liiihtened lanntT will have his waier supply inspected regularly. In our better days ue shall have a servicc that wtll give to every sec tion an examination and supervis ion of water used by human be ings. In some States analysis may be had at small expense and it is flying in the face of Providence not to proHt by this. The cost is nothing compared to the beneHts. And keep this in mind ; You can not niamtain your health and effi ciency unless you drink good water freely. In these big days Napoleon is in eclipse, but he said many things thai endure; one of them was : “NX'ater, air and cleanliness are the chiel articles hi my pharmacopea.” tus I.IMU'ATIONS iljc siitt'ragetfe was handing the congressman some of her mind in small fragments- “Yes,” she said, “I am willing 10 admit that you possess various talents and ar^ capable of enacting some wonderful acts and noble deeds, but there is one thing which is impossible for you to accom plish/’ “\X‘hat is that?” asked the chap wiio Iiclps to keep jon in congress. “You can't wink and work your ears at the same time,” answered the fair party of the suffragette part. “Only the much slandered, but intellectual mule can successfully perform that marvelous act.”— Washington Star. rHE YIELD OF WAR. For many years the Quaker cal endar has been looked for with much pleasure; the quotations and mottoes have been read and en* ioyed. This year’s calendar had the following on its front page : ‘War! What is it after all the people get? Why, taxes, widows, wooden legs and debt!" When you discover a man who knows all about evtrythmg y^^u slu)uld lose him quickly in self-dc fcii.^.

Richmond, Ind.—“For two years 1 was so sick and weak from female troubled that when going up stairs I had to go veiy slowly with my hands on the steps, thon sit down at the top to rest. The doctor said he thought I should have an oiK«ration, and my friends thought I would not live to move into our new hou^e. Wy daughter asked me to try Lydia E.

I did so, my weakness disapix^ared, I gained in stren^h, moved into our new honu‘, do all kinds of garden work, and raised hundreds of chickens and ducks. I cannot say enough in prai.se of Lydia E.

"Wheridjy ,s done, and o’er ilie woid the genile iwilig n drops; When rush and roar have died away, and busy traffic slops; When spicy breezes borne by June from Arabia ihe blest; When noi a wave of trouble rolls across my peaceful breast, I love to sit at ease and hear some sweet-voiced singer sing The good old Zion songs of yore, which fondest memories bring. Since I can read my titles clear, the tears come to my eyes, Hut through the mist I seem to sec those mansions in the sky. "When evening shallows cool and deep have fallen o'er ihe world. I have forgoi the cares of day when, fiery darts were hurled. And silting in my old arm chair beneath the rustling trees. It seems that 1 am borne away on Howery beds nf ease. A clear voice sings the good old songs, and in my thoughts I stand On Jordan’s stormy banks, and gaze on tar-ott‘ Beulah Land. Fond memories of other days the old songs bring to me, When, Now I lay me down lo sleep, I lisped ai mother’s knee. “When purpling shadows line the west with gold and silver sheen. Sweet Helds beyond ihe swelling flood stand dressed in living green. The echoing music of the songs ring out upon the air The happy promise writ of old, there'll be no sorrow there. All troubles flee as tlee the days, and with a restful sigh I gaze, o’er Canaan’s happy land where my possessions lie. Old days, old friends, come trooping back from out the shadowy past As o’er my soul those dear old songs ilieir web of memory cast. “Those good old songs, those dear old songs! When I am called to go I want to hear their melodies in measures soft and low. Just as 1 am without one plea. I’ll lay me down to sleep. For, Jesus lover of my soul, will still His watch cafe keep. And when 1 wake to endless day on yonder shining shore, I want to hear those grand old songs of Zion evermore. Those grand old songs oUr mothers sang, O, sing them o’er to me. Until in thai.

Fortune still deals her favors to the bold, ■ There’s never loss but somewhere is a gain. While you have left your body and your brain. In spite of all misfortune, be consoled. There's always hope while these you still retain. Keep up your pluck and take another hold. The world to you may seem both hard and cold, And yet it is a good world, in the main; If sympathy is in small measure doled, Don't whimper: it is useless to complain. With cheerful smiles conceal the hidden pain. Leave your vexations and your wrongs untold. Fight, but if beaten from weak tears refrain. Fortune still deals her favors to the bold. Oh, those invertebrates who fret and scold. Make (aces ai the cup they have to drain. Dumbly despair at loss of land or gold! There's never loss but .somewhere is a gain. Be valiant. Bound, then strive to break'ihe chain That binds you. Show yourself of iron mold. Sit down and weep and you will weep in vain. Work manfully and fate may be controlled.

I GREY’S ELEGY. i No Other Poem Has Qiven World So Many Immortal Quotations I Ai Qrey's Elegy. J No single poem in the English I language perhaps has coniribuied so many lines that have passed in- I to currency of quotation as Grey’s famous Elegy. It is a veritable mine of epigrammatic nuggets ihai have enriched the language of or ators and writers and become such fjmiliar property that their origin Is almost forgotten and they sel dom now receive ihe credit even of quotation marks. Here are a few of them that will he recognized as old friends: "The short and simple annals of Ihe poor." "Rich with the spoils of time.” "The paths of glory lead to the grave.” "And freeze the genial currents of the soul.” "Full many a flower is born to blush unseen and waste its sweet ness on the desert air. ” j "Some nmie, inglorious Milton, j some Hampden guiltless of his j country's blood.” “Hands that the rod of empire might have swayed.” "The applause of listening sen ates to command." "The noiseless tenor of their way." “Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife." "E’en in our ashes live their wonted fires.” "A youth to fortune and lo fame unknown.” "To wade through slaughter to a throne.” The inspirational influences of the poem have been far-reaching, says the Kansas City Star. Thom as Hardy’s most famous book— and the best of his earlier novels —"The Madding Crowd,” de rived its title and perhaps its in spiration from one of the oft-quoted lines of the elegy. It is told of Daniel Webster that when he was being driven to the Capitol to de liver his reply to Haynes he was heard by one of his companions to murmur over and over again as he rode along the words: "The applause of listening senates to command.” It will also be re membered that Wolfe, the con queror of Quebec, read this poem in his tern the night before the bat tle on the plains of Abraham and said: "I would rather be the author of that poem than ^the conqueror of Quebec. . ” HitSTE. Take Time To Work Vour Very Best. This is a great age for haste. But as some wise head has stated, haste makes waste. Take time to do things well. Haste in eating makes haste in health. The stomach rebels and refuses to co-operate and the whole human machine hacks up the stom ach. And with impaired health, there naturally comes a slowing down of the natural and usual speed that always trots alongside effort wisely and economically spent. Take time to think things out. A loss of energy in ill temper and heated words always means a loss of power at the source—in your brain and at the head offices of your nervous system. Haste while in a temper or under circum stances of Provocation is almost always regretted. When the brain Is all stirred up and the whole body up in arms—that’s the lime for pa tience and wailing — never for haste. The thing to do then is to— Take time lo cool off. You never see a really big man going about his work as though Ihe world was about to end. And yet the man who takes lime and works his affairs out according to careful plans and system and then slicks to the program would be ready for the ending of the world at any lime!
