"UNDER THE SUM-"
he men who have gone before uO

The men who have gone before u0 r.
Have sung the songs we sing.
The words Of our clamorous chorus,
They were heard Of the ancient king.
The chords of the Tyre that thrill US,
They were struck in the years gone by
And the arrows Of death that kill uS
Are found where our fathers lie.
The vanity sung of the preacher
Is vanity still today;
The moan Of the stricken creature *.
Has rung in the woods Away. ~;
But the songs are worth resinging,
With the change of no single note,
And the spoken words are ringing
As they rang in the years remote.
There is no new road to follow, love,
Nor need there ever be,
For the old, with its hill and hollow, love,
Is enough for you and me.

Flavor.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
Chemists tell us that cheese is one of
the most nutritious and, at the same
time, one of the cheapest of foods Its
nutritive value is greater than meat,
while its cost is much less. But this
chemical aspect of the matter does not
express the real value of the cheese as
a food. Cheese is eaten, not because of
it's nutritive value as expressed, by the
amount of proteids. fats and carbo-hy-
drates that ii contains. but always be-
cause of its flavor. Now, psychologists
do not find that flavor has any food
value They teach over and over again
that our footstuffs are proteids, fats and
carbohydrates. and that as food flavor
plays absolutely no part. But, at the same
time, they tell us that the body would be
unable to live upon these foodstuffs were
II not for the havors. If one were COM
PEELED to eat pure food without fiavors.
like the pure white of an egg, II is doubt
full whether one could, for a week at a
time, consume a sufficiency OF food to
supply his bodily needs. Flavor is as nee
essary as nutriment. II gives zest to
the food and thus enables us to consume
it properly, and. secondly, IL stimulates
the glands 10 secrete. so that the foods
may be satisfactorily digested and asslm-
Hated The whole art of cooking, the
great development of havoring products,
the high prices paid for special foods like
Holsters and oysters-these and numerous
other factors connected with food supply
and production are based solely upon this
demand for flavor Flavor is a necessi-
". but it Is not particularly important
what the flavor may be. This is shown
by the fact that different peoples have
such different tastes in this respect. The
garlic of the Italian and the red pepper
Of the Mexican serve the same purpose
as the vanilla which we put In our Ice
cream; and all play the part of giving r.
relish TO the food and stimulating the
hipestive organs TO proper activity.

Flowers of the daintiest variety were
placed on the canvas cover and the
steamer then started for sea. The run
was made on good time and when about
twenty miles out, there was no land in
sight and the engines stopped, the body
was carried to a forward rail, and, as per
the dead mans request, marked chapters
were read from, Spencers Education by
Col. d. W. Krauss. After this ceremony
word was given to let go, and the body
shot downward. disappearing within a
