fthlnk OF you in tho sunshine,
dream night and day of you,
When all the world is silent.
And stars shine out In the blue;
And whether the hours be golden
Or whether the day be drear.
Your love is beside me always
never forget you dear

l hear your voice in the sea,
The spell of your tender presence
Goes DER the world with me.
And distance cannot divide US,
Though far away or near.
In my heart of hearts you dwell, love-
never forget you, dear
The stars may forget their places,
The day may forget to break,
The flight of the hours may alter,
The rose may forget to wakel
But love that Ia true for ever,
Not day, nor n month, nor year;
To the end of the world / love you
never forget you, dear

The German government has raised
n new barrier against American meat
by issuing an order that fresh bee
shall not be imported from Belgium
into Germany. This action was
caused by Belgium's recent annul-
ment of its restrictions against Ameri.
can cattle. Denmark has been anAiou
to welcome our fresh meats, but has
been deferred for fear that German,
will apply to her the same rigorous
rule she has established against Bel

meats because the home supply is moi

Bogus iellies are interfering serious
iy with the sale and price of jelly
made from real fruit. The manu-
facture of jellies from apples, currants,
gooseberries and other fruits has al.
ready assumed large proportions, EN-,
ploying considerable labor and large
capital and affording a market fol
great quantities of fruit. Already this
trade is being injured by the unfair
competition of spurious imitation.
The subject is one that should have a
prominent place in all the pure food

The report of the Ohi)'s state
college telling how largely the stu

increase everywhere the respect in

That they are destined to become

high schools will be largely tributary,
seems, in this light, more and more
probable.
