Food and Brains.

The advantage of. fasting for intel
lectual work is being exemplified by a
professor of the West Virginia univer-
sity, who will refrain from eating food
for 30 days, during which time he will
daily deliver his customary lectures to
the class of the summer quarter It is
the professors idea that the less food
there is in the stomach the more blood
can be drawn to the brain, and that it's
action should be superior in every way
to that of a man who is clogged with
food. 1t will be interesting to watch
the professors lectures daily becom-
ing more brilliant while his weight de-
creases. One can imagine that the
farther he gets to Infinite wisdom, un-
til, when he arrives at the Goth day Of
his fast, the thinking world will be
simply dazzled by the intellectual out
burst. If this is demonstrated, all we
need to do to produce a "Thanatopsis"
or a "Gray's Elegy" is to take a COM
monplace poet and place hira in cell
for thirty days on diet Of filtered
water.

Young Mans Answer to Student Of
Sociology.
Smith is man of education, whose
particular study is sociology. Much of
his time is spent among children of
the poorer classes, and in the vacation
period, when these are congregated in
the Fairgrounds of the city, he works
among them directing their play

DRUGGISTS, Sinns.

bulbs are gradually ceasing to be

windows. In the past they were as
necessary to every drug store as =

shop, but they have not, as the pole

they contain are made cheaply and

the same question again and I will
answer it."
The twain kept their own council
and no one was made any the wiser
for that drive.
Mr.. Baker made frequent visits to
the city in which Miss Wells resided.
Flowers, books, music and confec-
tionery found their way to the young
lady's home. Long letters reached
her in which the cold. silent man told
her of his early trials and loneliness,
his longings and aspirations for hap
pier future.
"Could she be happy and satisfied
with him." she had asked herself
over and over again, but could reach
no decision.
She enjoyed his companionship
more than even she herself knew. His
friendship meant much to her, but
might she not tire of him in time when
it was too late?
The six months would soon be up.
but she was no nearer a decision.
1t was late, in May one rainy Satur-
day when Norman Baker reached
RI. His train was late and as
he had an engagement for luncheon
with Elizabeth Wells he took a cab.
A few blocks this side of Miss Wells
home the cab came to a sudden stop
and upon calling to the driver he
learned that a small newsboy had
been knocked down and his papers
scattered over the crossing. Jumping
out of the cab he picked up the lad
and learned that he was not seriously
injured, although bruised and shaken
UP.
The child seemed much more con-
cerned over the loss Of his papers and
his torn trousers than about his own
injuries until he was told that Mr..
Baker would replace the papers be-
sides getting him new suit of clothes.
How forcibly this incident brought
back his own cherries childhood to
the man.
Perhaps he could put little sun
shine into the newsboy's life!
Requesting the lad to jump into the
cab he drove to Miss Wells.
What was his establishment to have
her exclaim as she opened the door:
Harry, lad, where have you been?
How did you get hurt?"
Mr.. Baker explained the situation
and learned that his young friend was
one of Miss Wells favorite pupils.

WON FAVOR BY HIS GRIT.
Good Story Told of United States
Naval Officer.

A tribute was paid recently to the
late Capt. w. W. Reisinger, u S. N,
at the Grand hotel. Capt. Reisinger
was the kind of man you can obey
as an officer, respect as a man and
cherish as friend" said F. c.. Ches-
wick OF Washington. "The delayed
news of his death at Panama, which
came to us week or SO ago, was a
great shock to his many friends in
washington, Annapolis, Pensacola and
elsewhere. l remember an anecdote
OF the man which brings out the stuff
there was in him. He was a little
man-hardly over the limit to get into
Annapolis, l should say-but he al
ways insisted on being obeyed
to the dot, and he always or
dered everything to be kept right
up to the mark. About ten years
ago, more or less, he was executive
officer of the receiving ship Dale, at
the Washington Navy Yard, and used
TO keep the new men pretty hard at
work shining up brass and the like.
Some OF them, especially the big fell
lows, didn't overmuch relish the novel
sensation of being bossed around by
such little chap, as they put it, and
used to pass around remarks about
how easy they could do him up some
time off duty. He overheard some of
those remarks and one day when he
was OFF duty he appeared among the
men, took off his coat and asked for
volunteers in the task of doing him
up. He was football man at An
napolis, and fully able to take care
OF himself anyway. But the men re-
spected his grit without trial, and
obeyed him gladly after hat."-New

Our Cares.

Casting all your cares upon Him."
What vast amount of encourag cement we
have in that little word call" Not only
the great trials and heart-breaking sorrows
that come to us but seldom, but the little
worries, the petty vexations and anxieties
that come to us daily as we 90 about our
duties. For, after all, you and I know that
it is the little worries that cause us the
most trouble. We find them on every
hand. They come upon us in every depart
ment of service. How glad, then, we
should be to remember that we are encour-
aged by the Master to cast them all-not
some of them-but all upon Him. Here,
then, is the great time-tried remedy for
the worlds worry. We hear much these
days about don't worry clubs" but here
is something far better, even gracious in
vitation from our Lord to bring every
thing that vexes us to Him. But having
cast our cares upon Him we should leave
them there. This is as important as the
casting. Many good Christian people 20
through life burdened with cares that they
have tried to cast upon Him, but having
failed to leave them there are still strug-
Cling under the load. He has promised to
bear our burdens. How much better than
to take Him at His word and when life's
trials, no matter how small, assail us. take
them to Him in every truth, and having
done so. leave them there. It is only when
we get into the habit of daily, hourly inter
course with Him that we discover the true
meaning of such promises as these Thus
only are we able to live reioicingly no mat
ter what our condition in life NAV be-

Salvation, as growth, is no cheap and
ance, and they who make it theirs, to any
good degree, are the men and women of
various and sterling growth, upon whom
the temple of civiliza ton rests, with all it's
riches of use and beauty, as on strong col
hmns. Salvation, as the putting forth of
our complex life into higher and better
growths. is a gradual achievement, and
cannot be consummated even in this sphere
OF our existence. For whose nature, en-
riched as it may be, has eliminated in all
the projections of life? The great year Of
eternity is still a year of growth. Ever the
way opens and the ardor rises. We may
find Indifference low down, but never far
up; for ever wisdom and virtue and love
and piety know their own value, and find
in themselves the sufficient motive of pro-
gress.-Universalist Leader.
