A Tutor who maintained HI. Dignity,

A Tutor Who Maintained His Dignity.
DIR. Chalmers always had a high
sense of personal dignity. When a
young man, he was engaged as tutor in
a private family. His young lady pu-
pills resented his strictness, and the
mother foollshly took sides with her
daughters. In petty spite when COM
pany was invited to the house young
Chalmers was shut out from the table,
and dinner was sent to his room.
He made no protest against the
treatment, but when 1t was attempted
again he told the servant he had order
ed dinner at a neighborlng town and
should need nothing. When this had
been done few times. an explosion
came. The master OF the house called
Chalmers to account for insulting his
family. Chalmers replied that he had
been insulted by Punishment from the
table. The young teacher conquered
and ever after held his place as one of
the family at all social gatherings.

A LONG-LlVED PEOPLE.
They Live to a Wonderful Old
Ace.

One old sister (Marian Lee) is 81
years old. She has charge of the
dairy department; the making of but
ter and cheese. She is healthy and
strong, doing more work today than
most women at 80 years. Old Broth
Ter Amos Ridenbark is 90 years old.
He has charge of the botanical gar
dens attending the propagating of the
roots, herbs and medicinal plants in
the large garden. The business of
raising medicinal plants was first
started by the Quakers in 1925, and
you cannot 60 into ady drug store in
the world but what you will find the
Quaker medicines. Quaker extracts
and granules used by physicians are
made by the Quakers. Old DR.. JOSH
ali Baker, who is 104 years of age. is
the botanist, hale and hearty. This
good old brother has charge of the
laboratory. The food you eat, the
water you drink and the air you
breathe are filled with germs, bacteria
microbes, which spread disease
throughout the land. Every living
being has its destroyer in forms of
germs which cause disease. The
horse has the bots, the sheep the
snufliles and hoof-rot. the wheat has
germ-smut, the human body has
many different parasites and germs.
Consumption is caused by a germ
and is contagious. The Quakers have
kuown for years medicinal agents
which are harmless to the human
system but are destroyers of all
germs. The Q1akers do not use mer-
curry or poisons that wreck the body
and mind, but treat with natures
own remedies-roots. herbs. barks
and gums, which God gave to man.

A God Fearing People.

The Quskers believe in the same
God as the Hebrews; the same Savior
as the christians, only their way of
worship differs. When they go to
the meeting house they bow their
heads in silent worship, making no
complaints, removing not the kat TO
king or ruler, THEE and THOU to
friend and foe. They are a God-lov-
ing and God-fearing people, believing

Given to Agricultural Pursuits

The Quakers are an agricultural
sort of people. They own large farms
divided into settlements or communi-
ties. There are different branches of
Quakerism, viz: the Hicksites, the
Wilberites and the orthodox. The
Shakers are an offbrauch of Quaker
ism; they do not marry nor are they
given in marriage. The Quakers be-
lieve in unity and holy marriages,
and you never hear tell of case of
scandal among the Quakers. SJme
of the brightest men of America were
born ADD raised Quskers, and all who
retain connection with the commu-
nifty are amply provided for in sick
ness and old age.

Inexpensiye Living. /.

A subject very much agitated just;
now, is the problem, how to live with
in one'sincome. "Howto make ends,
meet" is a pressing question. Appear
ance must be kept up, people think,
and to to this life is made burden.
If we would put "appearance' aside
and substitute comfort for show, ceil.'

pier we would be! 81
ut is not necessary In order to
live cheaply that one must live mean

a great many pretty and expensive
trifles which wealthy people have,
but we can be just as happy without
kindness can be put into the simple,
that its members Will scarcely miss the
snowy adorD ments. The true comforts
of life cost little money. Where one
has taste and refinement, the simplest
home may show the impress of those,
and the people may be much happier
in small cosy apartments than their
richer neighborsare in their handsome
establishments.
It is well to begin low down. Those

Purpose.

These two things are absolutely
essential to every true life one is to
have an aim and the other is to have
high aim. Some purpose, some aim,
usually fixes itself in child's heart
early in life. This aim may often be
only a childish fancy which will again
be changed and replaced but when
ever q worthy and high purpose fixes
itself in the mind of a boy or girl, or
when that purpose is cherished and
followed, almost invariably it leads
on to high and useful career. Too
many boys and young men look out
into life with no aim or with q low and
unworthy aim.
Remember, my young friend, that
you have great things to do. Great
things will certainly be done in the
next fifty years why should not you
have the honor of doing some of them"
TO be great and do great things re-
quire, first, high aim and then dilig-
ence, earnestnes-, hard work, definite
and unremitting toll but you can do
what others have done and are doing
and win the prize which is waiting
] for some one to come and take it.
