tory of Herootus, Thucydides and
Nenophon, the poetry of Homer and
SapphO, the drama of Sophocles, the
art of Phidias, the oratory of De-
mOsthenes and the craftsmanship of
Themistocles and Pericles, how can
we but feel that, under fair conditions,
even greater results may be accom-
plished by the proper training of the
rising generation? Why should we
not have our Dantes and Michael
Angeles? Our people are warm
hearted and imaginative; they are
sympathetic and are quick to grasp
ideas and to grow intellectually and
every other way.

A GOOD SIGN

One of the most hopeful signs of
tie times is the careful and systemat-
ic study of the Bible in our schools
and colleges. This is the great text
book which should be not simply read
but studied in our schools and homes
from earliest childhood to old age.
The ever increasing number of gym
nasiums, the systematic and careful
physical culture, which commences
with the kindergarten and ends with
the highest university course, are cul-
tiyating and helping to bring out the
faculties of mind, heart and body that
have not heretofore been factors in
our educational work.

ENCOURAGE HOME TALENT.

Let us encourage educational efforts
and educational work by our own au-
thors. 1t is only natural to suppose
that people who are in sympathy and
familiar with our needs are much bet
ter fitted to prepare textbooks that
would be really helpful than those
who are entirely unacquainted with
the different problems with which we
have constantly to deal. Let us rise
up in all the strength that God has
given us and endeavor by His direc-
ton to make our lives all that is true
and grand and noble.

When person is losing flesh aud
wasting away there is cause for
alarm Nothing so worries a physi
clan. Consumptives would never die
If they could regain their usual
weight. In fact there would be no
consumption if there was no wasting
of the system. The cause of this
loss of flesh is a failure to properly
iigest the food eaten. Nine tenths
of all our diseases date back to some
arrangement of the stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will
top this wasting of the body. Il
acts by causing the food we eat to
be digested so rs to do good, fol
undigested food does more harm
than good, The Cordial contains
food already digested aud is diges
ter of foods as well.

The poor houses are filed to ov. I

stream of applications for imission
which have to be refused. from those
who feel that the aid sought for S
the only thing that will save them
from certain death.
Instances are numerous where
adults weigh less than 56 pounds.
They present the appearance of ska
covered skeletons.
A fresh food supply in the ric.
districts Is Impossible to be obtain
ed until September. by which time
unless aid Is fort hcoming from sou,.
