Making a Man of Baby.

Nixon Waterman in Christian Endeavor World.
Hurry him, worry him. make him man.
Off with his baby clothes; get him in pants
Hurry the baby as fast as you can
Feed him on brain food and make him advance.
Hustle him, he's able to walk
Into grammar school; cram him with talk.
Fill his poor head full of figures and facts;
Keep ON a-jamming them till it cracks.
Once boys grew up at Il rationa! rate;
Now we develop man while you wait.
Rush him through college, compel him TO grab
Ofevery known subject IL dip and dab
Get him in business snd after the cash,
All by the time he can grow mustache.
Let him forget he was ever boy;
Make gold his god and its jingle his joy.
Keep him a-hustling and clear out of breath
Until he wins-nervous prostration and death.

last Sunday, he said that man, in the
history of the world, had been the fight

pugnacious and easily stirred to deeds
of violence it was but Justice to say
that these were only the excuses Of the
part which he had had to play from
the beginning of the world. Man had
to start by fighting against the wild
beasts of the world; to fight for stand

and then he had to fight all the wild
conditions of nature, at any rate TO
control them. so they should not harm
him. Beyond this he had TO fight other
men. had to fight them for his life, his
home, his religion and for any higher
degree of civilization which he had at

Rich YOUNG Men

zone of the many threadbare falla-
cies which belongs to much of the stock
cant of our time is the charge that the
heirs of wealth are moral and intel
lecmal weaklings. who have no aim
or mission in life aside from selfish
and enervating enjoyment
while it is true that many man
born to power, genius or to wealth has
lacked the moral constitution to meet
the responsibilities imposed upon him
by Providence or fate. such degener-
ate is the exception.
I'm every great city Of this country
are to be found the sons of rich fami-
lies who are as democratic in their
feelings and aspirations as the poorest.
They have come up through the public
schools. and. even if they had gone
through college, they therein had their
democratic feelings and national pride
land faith in equality so perfectly deyei-
Oped that they are not the snobs and
'chappies' too many ignorant people
imagine them to be.
Then there is an Independent spirit
manifesting itself in such favored
young men who refuse to be known as
simply the sons of their fathers; who
are as ambitious to make a name for
themselves and TO stand on their own
merit and regulations, as were ever
their fathers.
when an heir of millions, the scion
of a wealthy family, directs his atten-

master mechanic and a practical in

talents and money to alleviating the

Importance Of Water

The faith curists. mental scientists
and others who scorn physical ills till
they get them, reprove Tip for talking
about rheumatism. He sympathizes
with the Iheumatics. however, and in
response to numerous requests reprints
the diet suggested as help for those
who are suffering from lame joints
and sore muscles: For breakfast, two
boiled eggs, old bread and a glass Of
milk: for luncheon a piece of broiled
steak. old bread and a glass of milk
the same thing for dinner and a glass
of milk at bedtime. Fish, boiled or
baked. may be substituted for the steak
at any meal. After a week or ten days
any meat may be eaten, except pork
or bacon. Never eat more than one
vegetable. and make a selection from
peas. string beans, spinach, and lettuce.
Use no sweets. fruits. dried or cooked,
or sauces. The theory of the diet is
TO avoid intestinal fermentation. which
produces acids and gases, tending to
give rheumatism. Drink plenty o.
water between meals.

be mentioned that these silks are only
made into gowns for occasions, anG
that they are all trimmed with lace.
