deal OF interest watched the operation
of tpe two different plans, and from the
results, as / understand them, have be-
come honestly convinced that the cas-
sified or step rate plan is more in har-
mony with the cooperative and frater-
nal principles which underlie our
great fraternal beneficiary system. 1t
is simply carrying out the principle,
which the orders have, since their in
ception, inculcated, OF furnishing pro-
lection TO the membership at current
cost from year to year. In other words,
requiring the members to pay what
the mortality tables show is necessary
to carry their risks, during the ex-
pectancy of life based on twelve as
sessments, or calls, per annum." n.

The Song of Despair .

1.-THE dreary old world from day TO day,
Is losing its charms, and men
Are taking Gods gifts unto others away,
And will never return them again
The dreary old world is growing cold
And its rivers are running dry,
And the blessings that men possessed OF old
We are cheated of-you and II
There Is no help" we are grimly told
"The trail OF the serpant is everywhere;
The rich are lolling in splendid ease,
And their castles are standing beside the
seas
Come, join in the Song OF Despair
"The dreary old world grows worse and
worse"
Or so the sad singers say;
"And Reason is under the ban OF the purse,
And Right has been driven awaym
The poets are signing "Alasl" and "Alack!'
And they look into darkness ahead;
They are warning the boy who would climb
10 go back
And shrink in some corner in dreadi
"And we shall be toothless and weak and
small,
And bloodless people devoid of hair,
And few" they say ''will be lords OF ALL
And the rest must slave till they, fainting
fall"
So runs the Song of Despair.
But the "dreary old world is pretty fair
In spite of their walls OF woe,
And though there are burdens for men TO
bear,
There were worse ones ages agol
The river still runs to the sea, and they
Who grind and who hoard and who Toll
Are close TO the bases of pillars, today
That are nearly ready TO fall
There is yet some warmth in the suns
broad ray,
We still have some blood, some teeth and
some hairy
And if things are not perfect down here
below,
Why then there's chance to help make
them So
Away with the Song Of Despair

The Eating of Meat.

Much discussion has been going on
for year or more on the subject OF
eating meat, and it must be admitted
that the reasons for not eating meat.
set forth by physicians aud other
scientists, are very sensible and con.
vincing The recent investigation in.
to the qualities of the meats furnished
to our soldiers during the war with
Spain has opened the eyes Of the pub
lie in regard to the character of the
meat furnished to civilians. The hor-
rors OF the whole system OF carriage OF
the living animals by rail and other
wise to the stock-yards, their slaughter
in WORKOUT, sickly and even grossly
diseased condition, and subsequent
stages through which they pass. in.
GLIDING medication, embalming. etc.
have caused marked diminution of
consumption of meat among all intelli.
gent, well informed people. Before
these underhand doings of the great
meat trusts were exposed, physicians
everywhere were questioning the utili.
ty and wholesomeness of over-indul.
gence in a flesh diet. 1t goes without
saying that recently many new con-
verts have been added to the ranks Of
those who favor less eating of meat.
Some of the greatest medical authori-
ties OF the age are now declaring il as
their opinion that the increase of can
Ger cases keeps pace with the increase
in the consumption of flesh food. and
that there are four and half times rs
many cases in proportion to population
as there were fifty years ago, and that
the death rate from cancer and CANCER
Gus affections is continually progress.

ILLS OF AGE
Are Usually Due to Some De.
rangement of the
KIDN EYS,
Which Can be Remedied by the Use Of
Dr.. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills

In the evening of life-after the
battles are fought-why shouldn't the
old folks enjoy in comfort their we'll
earned restl
1t is usually the kidneys which first
get out of order, and cause backaches,
headaches and urinary troubles. AS
filters OF the blood the kidneys work
hard to remove from the body the last
trace of poisonous uric acid, but they
do get tired and cause pain in the
back, and unless attended to will leave
foul poisons in the blood which will
cause the most painful and fatal dis
eases.
DIR. Chase's Kidney Liver Pills strike
at the root OF trouble by making tn
kidneys strong, healthy and vigorous
They cure Bright's disease, d'ous'
diabetes and all diseases of Il c kiiu,'
liver and bladder, as well IS enron

miration of old people IN particular, a..
cause they make it possible tor them

AT the time of the sham referendum
five years ago, no grant of suffrage was
to result, and no woman could vote or
the question unless she could register
for school committee. Yet %, 2O4 women
voted yes; only 76l voted o,-25 women
to one voted in favor of suffrage.
On the other hand, all the men who
voted against allowing women to vote
in the so-called referendum were
about one-third of the men who had
the right To vote on the question, Sc
that two-thirds of all the male voters
OF the state either voted in favor OF
woman suffrage, or did not vote at all,
thereby showing indifference. Yet
this is called a decisive negative! 1t
was in no sense an expression of a ma
jority of the men of Massachusetts.
The fact is that neither men nor
women want TO vote for the mere sake
of voting. They vote from interest in
men or measures, from interest in their
party, and largely from self-interest.
If it is really desired to ascertain
whether women want to vote. give
them something worth while to vote
for, something in which they are inter
ested. Within year, several million
American women have signed petitions
to Congress TO exclude MIR. Roberts as
polygamist. That was voting. If the
Legislature will authorize women to
vote next November in the coming
Presidential election,--as large a pro-
portion of Massachusetts women will
vote as of men, and a larger proportion
OF men will vote than ever before. That
would be real referendum.
The whole question of whether wo-
men do or do not want to vote, under
our republican theory of government,
individual right of "every citizen of
mature age and sound mind, not con-
victed of crime" Women are govern
ed and the only form of consent known
in republic is the ballot
But let no one ever say in your pres
ence that ''women don't want to vote, "
without contradiction. Women will
vote fast enough, if given the chance
to vote upon questions that interest
them. Carleton Coffin, formerly cor
respondent of the Boston Daily Jour-
nal, was once dining with fashionable
party. An opponent of suffrage asked
each lady at the table if she wanted to
vote, and each lady said mo. Then
Carleton said:
"But suppose it was proposed to Ii
cense saloon on the corner opposite
your house?"
sob, yes; | should want to vote
against that"
"Or suppose it was proposed to give
your street an extra policeman"
ooh, yes; should vote to have him. !"
"Or suppose the question was better
water supply and improved sewerage?"
Every lady present said she would
vote for these.
So 1T appears that women, like men,
do not want to vote for the mere sake
OF putting piece of paper in box;
but they do want to vote for the promo
tion of good government.

thought that she would never recover

All these have disappeared, and she
now declares herself free being cured

This is valuable testimony.
Flesh food is stimulating; very strong
beef tea is as exhilarating and iutoxi-
eating to sensitive, delicate persons as
alcoholic drinks are TO others. Stimu-
lation, says an excellent authority, is
increased activity OF the cells, literally
in tearing down and building up.
Meat stimulates the cells into unnatur-
al activity, which sometimes degener-
ates into disorderly cellular prolifer-
alton" resulting in cancer and cancer
Gus affections, cancer being literally
abnormal cellular proliferation.
How may strength and power be
obtained without resort to animal food /?
Simply by eating other sorts OF food
which contain the nitrogen and miner.
al salts which are necessary for the
making OF good, rich blood. Meat
eaters would be surprised, indeed, if
they could read the list of deliciously
palatable and nutritious dishes that
may be concocted from nuts, fruits,
grains and vegetables with milk and
eggs Whole wheat bread and butter,
milk, fresh fruit and the delicious
evaporated fruits of California, with
eggs and nuts, leave little to be desired
in the way of food. Some animal food
is, however, allowable and desirable
for certain people who have Inherited
the taste for meat through many gem
creations. Poultry and game and fish
will ill the bill for these people, and
for weakly, semi-invalids; but let the
last class, If they have any desire to
prolong their feeble lives, abstain
scrupulously from eating beef, veal and
pork. In a short time any determined
person of strong character can elimi-
nate meat from his or her dietary with
out evil consequences; on the contrary,
the results will be delightful and
inspiring. Selected.
