EitteraliK or lbs Clues. (Durham Sun.) The best cure for the "blues" is buttermilk. When everything goes wrong and nothing goes right, your temper gives way and nobody but your evor-patient dog can abide with you, be sure that you have that de pressing: complaint known as melan choly. It is a microbe that causes these periodical fits of gloom, and buttermilk is fatal to this particular bacillus. It drowns it out or paraly zes it with its pungent acids. So when the "blues" come on the ob vious course is to quaff this fluid as freely as possible. Drop coffee, tea, all kinds of intoxicants and drink buttermilk.

During the past few years much of this com print has been made unnecessary by the use of De Witt's Kidney and Blad der Pills.

If we are to understand any given word of the gospel which Christ preached. It is imperative that w go back to Chrl3t and find how He used it and what He meant by it as He spoka it to men. The result of such a study will almost invariably be a delicious and delightful sur prise. Rer. Edw. Smith, Methodist. Our Holiest Hopes.. Oh, it means so much to be a man of faith! With faith, the power of Godrushea in upon you! Whatever else you lose, do not lose faith! Keep on believing. Maintain this temper of confidence in the Unseen. Your best laspirations are there! Your holiest hopes are there. Rev. H. P. Dewey, Presbyterian. Mental Inheritance. Oar habits of thought are marked out by those who have gone before us. The brand of the skylark sings; so do the children of the poets. It was vain for the father of Blaise Pascal to lock up his mathematical instruments; nature had pointed the lad's eyes toward the stars. ReT. Wallace Smith, Episcopal. Focusing Our Powers. Thehigher and more unselfish the end toward which we direct our lives the greater is the demand for intense and ceaseless concentration of our noblest powers. Focus your best powers upon the details of your life work. These may seem to be trifles; but remember the wise words of the painstaking artist, "Trifles make per fection, aad perfection is no trifle." Rev. M. Strykes, Methodist. How to Obtain Faith. The best way to get faith is through Christianity. Although sal vation is not within the limits of any single creed or church, the easiest path to faith is Christianity. Phil OBphy, appealing only to the intellect, reachee but few; whereas, Christian ity, appealing to the soul and the heart, reaches many. Moreover, it furnishes a grand leader, and people will always follow a leader. ReT. Wallace Smith, Episcopal. Cultivating Our Taiili. Maintain an uncompromising en mity toward the falsa, an invinci ble friendship toward the true. Cul tivate a practical fpith in the living God. Accept Christ as your Ideal and Redeemer. This L? the hidden e:iicg of scif-hei'oi&Qi. It crowns a man's life with tha truest success; and whan the veil is lifted he baall sta.cd erect in the light of a glori fied manhood. C. S. Patton, Presby terian. Relation of Love and Duty. The phrase "love and duty" has become a proverb. In truth, though, the two are not widely separated from each other. Duty is really only the expression of love. When we do our duty we are showing our love. A husband best manifests his love for his wife by living a life of loyalty to duty. If hofailed to provide for hor needs, all the words of love in the world could not atone for his neglect. Rev. D. Barrel), Reformed. Reaching out his Hand. It is recorded that, when he healed the demoniac youth at the Mount of Transfiguration, "he took him by tha hand and lifted him up." That hand of Christ's has raised many a drunk ard and Magdelene out of the mire, has helped many a struggling and discouraged soul over the roujh places of life, has opened the gate of heaTen to a great multitude which no man eanntimber. That hand is stretched out still. It is proffered to you. Will you have it? ReY. Dr. Cadman, Congregational!. Where We find Brauty. Beanty lies in symmetry and com pleteness; He was perfectly holy, without spot and blameless. Beauty Christ's justice, love and wisdom were all united in one. Beauty lies in conformity with moral law; He was holy,harmles9 and undefiled. Great is man's dignity, glorious his destiny! Bearing the image and superscription of the King, man may look with rapture upon His beau till 0 face and become consciously like God. Rev. Ralph Tompkins, Uni tarian. What the World Thinks. The world is heavy with Its weight of woe, bleeding with its cruhlng burden of suffering and sorrow, and dying with grief because the "consolations of God seem all but 'too 6mall.' The probleaf of suffering I3 universal, and of vital concern to 'laird and boor.' The armies are legion, that find all the 'uses of this world weary, stale, flat and unprofltable.' Sick and weary, impatient and tired, unrefreshed and overburdened, lagging, end stumb ling, goes this world with its in creasing burden. Rev. E. Loveit, Baptist. Living in Harmony. We find it impossible to compre hend the essential harmony between tho purpose of God and the will of man. We can comfort ourselves that with the secret will of Cod wo have nothlns to do. with the revealed will of God we have much to do. We may rely upon it that every man forms a part in the Divine purpose. Life la a mystery, but life is not chaos. All true success lies ia co operating with God's revealed will. Doing this, we shall find at the hat that we have helped to accomplish the architect's design, though we never have seen the complete plan. Rev. E. M. Sovitt. BantKt. Cored Hay Fe?er and Sumner Gold. A. J. Nusbaum, Batewille, Indiana, writes: "Last year I suffered for three months with a summer cold so distress ing that it interfered with my business. I had many of the symptoms of hay fever, and a doctor's prescription did not reach my case, and I took several medicines which seemed to only aggra vate my case. Fortunately I insisted upon having Foley's Honey and Tar in the yellow package, and it quickly cured me. My wife has since used Foley's Honey and Tar with the same success." E. T. Whitehead Co, Be Glad. (Ralph Waldo Emerscn.) Is it raining, little flower? Ee glad of rain. Too much sun would wither thee; 'Twill shine again. The sky is very black, 'ti3 true; But just behind it shines the blue. Art thou weary, tender heart? Be glad of pain; In sorrow sweetest thing3 will grow As flowers in rain. God watches, and thou wilt have sun When clouds their perfect work have done. "Tti Food 0! Geography." (Christian Endeavor World.) That phrase was let slip by one of our elevator men the other day. He was describing a young fellow who had not succeeded in business be cause he never stuck to one thing long enough to succeed. He wa3 "too fond of geography." A bright way to put it. Geography is a fine science, a favorite study of mine, but not in that way. I am fond of travel, but I do not care to travel from one job to another. Most travel is educative and profit able; that kind is neither. Stay put, young man! Take root in your situations! Shut yovr eyes to the glittering promise of "big chances," "advancing salary," and "possible partnership." Do not make a change from your present work unless you have the very best of reasons no reasons but the very best. Remember the wise proverb about the rolling stone. You do not want to gather moss? You would avoid being a moss-back? Well, the kind of moss that this proverb means is dollars, and reputation, and friends, and all kind of good success.. You have now objection to gathering) these things, I am sure. Life is cumulative, when it is lived in one place and spent in one occu pation. Every removal dissipates infiuence.and wastes experience, and loses momentum. Stop a cannon ball, and even if you put it in a larger cannon than it was in before, it must begin all over again, with an entirely fresh charge 0? power behind it, Changs the direction of the ship, and you lessen its speed. Move, if you must to another house, another town, another farm, another business. But count the necessity a misfortune; and if you are not obliged to move, be grateful for the opportunity of steady growth. Lawyer How is it that you have waited three years before suing Muller for calling you a rhinoceros? Countryman Because I never saw one of the beasts till yesterday at the zoo. Fiiegende Blatter. Mistress So, Belinda, ycu want to spend a day in the country. Do you enjoy bucolic times? Maid Law, Mis' Nellie, nobody don't enjoy no colic no times. Houston Post. When you have a cold you may be sure that it has been caused indirectly by constipation and consequently you must first of all take something to move the bowels. This is what has made Kennedy's Laxative Cough Sy rup so successful and so generally de manded. It does not constipate like moet of the old foshioned cough cures, but on the other hand it gently moves the bowels and at the same time heal3 irritation and allays inflammation of the throat.

Mr. John White, of 38 Highland Ave., Houlton, Maine, says: "Have been troubled with a cough every win ter and spring. Last winter I tried many advertised remedies, but the cough continued until I bought a 50c. bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery; before that was half gone, the cough was all gone. This winter the same re sult has followed ; a few doses once more banished the annual cough. I mi now convinced th.it Dr. King's New Discovery ii the best of a!I cough and lung remedies."

The Local Han's Troubles. (Manchester Democrat.) The man who handles the local de partment of a newspaper learns af ter due experience not to expect very many thanks for a column of pleas ant things, but he knows as surely a3 comes the seasons that a line in which there are unintentional mis takes will cause some one to be heard. Also that when he has made pleasant mention 99.) times of some persons, place or thing, Luton the thousandth time fails to do so, he U not to be forgiven. The omission may have been from accident, inadvertance or even an entire lack of knowledge, it matters not. The simple fact re mains that he will be judged on that. He may say good things about some buali.eas man for weeks bat let him make some mistake and the good things said are forgotten and that man's business is denied him. "Is Clarence Appleby the sort of person one would care to cultivate?" "Weil, a little cultivation wouldn't hurt him any." Cleveland Leader.
