An Englishman of distinction MAX
ing his first visit in the United States
brought it to a close in Washington,
and called at the White House in COM
pany with an American friend. A pub
lie reception was in progress, and,
falling into line, he paid his respects
to the president first in that way, and
subsequently met him for a few mo-
ments in a private audience He
laughingly explained to the president
that being in America he wanted to do
as the Americans did. AS they walked
away together, the American asked
tie Englishman what had impressed
him most in our free government.
"The accessibility Of the chief magis-
trate, and the absence of all arms and
force from his official residence" was
tie Englishman's reply.

The walk is not in the valley, but
through the valley. All. then it must
be straight and plain path and one
that leads somewhere! 1t must be a
direct journey to distant destination.
Yes, am assured that 1t Is and that
the destination Is nothing less delight
full than heaven itself. How, then, can
! fear when once by faith have con-
nected the valley with the heaven to
which 1t leads? This going must be like
the fight of bird through some dark
cloud and then out into the full light
Of the sun. 1t must be like some trav-
eler journeying through deep shad-
owed canyon between the mountains
and then coming out into the broad
and smiling country, where the sun Is
shining In Its glory and where every
green herb and beautiful flower Is
springlng up to bless. Surely If 1t is
only quiet walk through the shelter
ed valley and the valley itself opens
out full and broad into the shining
fields Of heaven, why, indeed, should

AN EGG SHAMPOO.
How 10 Apply This simple ana En-
Client Hair Rejuvenator.


In the first place. are you blond or
brunette?
If your tresses are light, select only
the yolks for the shampoo; If darker in
tint, the yolks and whites may both be
used, and, II time has laid silver
sheen across them, the whites alone
will make the incest application.
Now for the number of eggs. This
depends on the quantity of hair. l have
known from six to a full dozen neces-
sary for the owner Of heavy mop,
while women with scanty locks have
made couple of eggs do the work.
Lazy girls say they never spend time
beating eggs-too much bother and no
especial Improvement to the shampoo.
But disagree there. The egg at least
Is more easily rubbed into the scalp
and through each strand of hair IL 1t is

With the head held over the basin,
lather your hands well with egg anu

half the quantity is used; then wash
the head with warm water. Don't let
1t be too hot. That's a common mis-
take. You needn't have it chill you,

TREATMENT OF DOGS.
How to Give Them Medicine In PHI
or Liquid Form.

In all treatment OF q sick dog re-
member you are dealing with n highly
sensitive and nervous patient BE very
gentle, avoid roughness or anything
likely to alarm him, says G. III. Lane In
All About Dogs. In giving him any
liquid medicine do not open his mouth; |;
but, placing him between your knees,
with his face looking I'm the same di-
rection as your own, gently raise his
jaw and, pulling his lips away from his
teeth ON one side of his mouth to form
a cup or funnel, very slowly pour from
bottle or spoon the quantity he is to
have into 1t. Keep his head raised for
a minute or two, and If he does not
swallow the dose insert a spoon be-
tween his front teeth. This will have
the effect of drawing off his attention
from the medicine, and he will usually
swallow at once.
II the dose is pill, bolus or anything
solid. hold his head the same way as
before mentioned, but with the left
hand under the lower jaw press firmly
ON each side with thumb and finger at
the junction of upper and lower jaws.
This will usually cause him to open his
mouth, when the dose should be put
into the mouth as far back as possible
over the tongue, or he win spit 1t out,
and close the jaws somewhat sharply.
and In most cases the deed is done. II
any trouble arises with the action of
his front paws, this may be got over by
wrapping him round with a shawl or
coarse apron. When once you have
got into the way of 1t, you will be sur
prised how simple it is am quite
sure practical owner or kennelsman
would dose dozen dogs while novice
was making bungle over one.

DON'T TOUCH LIQUOR.
Reasons Why Total Abstinence u
the Only Safe Course.

Reasons why Total Abstinence Is
the Only Safe Course.
While the disease of alcoholism is
found among all classes of men, yet
those possessed of the strongest intel
lect and finest nervous systems seem
to be more susceptible than others to
this disease, says The Union Signal
These well known facts which have so
thoroughly demoraliZed the argument
for total abstinence in the past furnish
n secure foundation for the total alb
stinence position If interpreted in the
light of modern science.
The reason for total abstinence Is not
that all men who drink are drunkards,
for that Is not true, nor that mental or
moral weakness is cause of intemper-
ance, for this Is so far from the truth
that the very brightest and best are
among those afflicted. Here, then, is
the unassallable argument for total alb
stinence based on the scientific fact Of
the pathological character of alcohol
ism.
Addressing the young man who
stands at the parting of the ways
should say: You may or may not be
physically so susceptible to the poison
Gus action of alcohol that If you drink
at all you will become drunkard
There is no way of finding out but by
trial. Similarly there is no way to de-
termine whether you are susceptible to
smallpox or not without subjecting
yourself to the test. The question Is
purely physical one. DO not get your
thought muddled by these theories re-
garding will and strength of mind and
the like. If you have the right nervous
organization and drink at all, you will
become drunkard as certainly as the
law Of gravitation swings the earth
about the sun. AS 1t would be IRA
tional to experiment with smallpox. so
1t would be Irrational TO experiment
with alcohol, for II you happen to be-
long to the class that is physically sus-
ceptible to the malady you viii find II
out too late to prevent serious conse-
quences; hence total abstinence Is the
only safe and rational course of ac-
tion."

How to Make Orange s,rup.

Three large oranges, one pint of wa
ter. one and a half pounds of sugar
and one-quarter ounce tartaric acid.
Remove the peel, which is to be chop
ped, and put in the water to infuse
overnight. Press all the juice out of
the oranges. Rinse the pulp with lit
tie cold water and strain two or three
times. Add the sugar and set away
In covered dish. Next day boil the
peel, but not the fruit juice, about two
or three hours, keeping up the amount
of water. Strain and cool. Add the
water to the juice (the peel is not to be
used any further). Add the acid. stir
ring occasionally until a smooth sirup
is formed. There should be about q
quart of thick sirup. If 1t is too sweet,
more acid may be used. A few drops
Of cochineal will give the orange color.

CONTAINS NO NUTRlMENr.
Reasons why Alcohol Cannot Have
Food Properties.

Let me repeat and emphasize the fact
that physiological science has demon
strated to verify that neither animals
nor humans can use inorganic matter
In any form whatsoever. To them II Is
always a nonusable or Injurious SUBJ
stance. In the formative process car
ried on by animal vitality all the build
ing material must be taken from the
organic plane Of matter. There Is no
exception whatever to this predeter-
mined law of nature. All the exact
sciences prove indisputably that there
are no exceptions to any of natures
laws.
1t Is now so well established that al
cohol belongs entirely to the inorganic
plane of matter that 1t is recognized
not only by scientists, but also by ev-
cry well informed Individual. Alcohol
is the product OF decomposition-de-
composition of organic matter-vege-
table substance. Through decomposi-
tion organic matter Is returned to the
original form of matter-the Inorganic.
In the process of decomposition the
organic cell structure becomes broken,
vitality then relinqulshes all claim up
on 1t, the chemical or inorganic forces
assert their primordial claim; conse-
quently organized matter Is brought
back to the inorganic plane.
Alcohol being an Inorganic sub
stance, 1t follows by an infiexible law
Of nature that It cannot be used In the
human system nor anywhere In the
domain of animal vitality. Belonging
to the inorganic plane of matter, 1t
does not. cannot, sustain any constitu-
tlonal relation to the human system,
consequently cannot possess any food
properties whatever.
In view of the scientific facts given,
OF the fixed, irrevocable limitations set
by nature upon animal vitality, any
declaration that human vital force can
leap the chasm and secure nutriment
from this form of inorganic matter (al-
cohoD simply demonstrates that the
mental vision of the experimenter was
detected through the media of preju-
dice and ingrained opinion or that the
method Of experimentation was de-
fective.-Dr. Margaret s. Organ.

The Punishment of the wicked,

No one can contemplate the awful
misery Of those who live and die In
sin without sense of horror.
Gods law, If obeyed, fixes a penalty
such as forever closes the door of mer-

transgression of the divine law and In
vokes the divine displeasure. Yet men
sin on, regardless of the inevitable con-
sequences that must follow their per-
sistent opposition in the face of offer
ed pardon. They will not repent and
turn to God with full purpose Of heart,

Though fearful storms have swept In wrath
About thy toilsome, rugged path,
And thou hast oittimes been cast down
And sore dismayed by fortunes frown,
Faint not. but brayely bear thy part;
Oh, fellow man. once more take hearth
The storm Is followed by the calm
And winter gales by airs OF balm.
Dark night gives place to sunbright days
Let hope still cheer thee ON thy way.
Beyond the cloud still shines the sun;
Press on until thy work Is done.
Perchance thou many times hast failed.
Some weakness over thee prevailed,
And thou hast faltered In the strife
And sadly rued thy blighted life;
Though great thy grief and keen thy pain.
Oh, weary one. take heart againl
Dwell not rpon thy mournful past;
Arise and tor thy right stand fast.
BE strong and brave; fold not thy hands;
For thee still flows liie's golden sands
To better things sweet voices call.
But God In love rules over all.
