Climatic Cures

The influence OF climatic conditions In
the cure of consumption Is very much
oyerdrawn. The poor patient. aud the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
home by proper attention to food diges-
tion, and regular use OF German Syrup.
Free expectoration in TIE morning is
made certain by German Syrup; 80 is
good nights rest aud the absence OF that
weakening cough and facilitating night
sweat. Restless nights and the exhaus
ton due to coughing, the greatest dan
ger and dread Of the consumptive, can be
prevented or stopped BY taking German
Syrup literally and regularly. Should
you be able to go to a warmer cline. you
will find that Of the thousands Of con-

GEMS IN VERSE


The Roomer's Inning.
Oh, you folks with home and firesids
You who DO not room. but live,
You have gloated Der me often.
But I'm willing to forgive,
For as moving time approaches
You have troubles of your own.
And I'll chaff you now but gently
In a soft and plying tone.
You have beds and big pianos,
You have pictures stoves and chairs.
You have dressers, tables, sdeboards.
To be trundled down the stairs:
You have mattresses and bedsprlngs.
You have carpets, curtains. rugs:
THESE must be removed In toto
with million grunts and tugs.
Then for days there Will be chaos
In the shack to which you go,
And your life for weeks thereafter
VIII be one long streak of Woe
But when /, o proud householder,
Find my rent too nearly due
just pack my trunk and vanish,
And my moving stunt Is through.
You may boast of coy fireside;
There are times / envy you;
You may boast OF your penates,
Which is more than / can do,
But at moving time I'll venture
You would sell your stuff for Junk
Just to know the Joy OF rooming
And of moving In your trunk

"THE TAIL PIECE"
Hogarth's Great Picture Representing
the End of All Thinus.

Hogarth, the famous satirist, pro-
duced picture that for its choice
of subjects has never been equaled.
Not long before the death of this
genius he set about executing what
he facetiously termed "The Tail
Piece" While sitting at his own Ia
bic in company with a number of
boon companions he was asked by
one Of them what would be the sub
jet Of his next drawing. lie gloom
lily answered, "The end of all
things The next day he began the
design for this painting, and when
finished it proved a most ingenious
and unique effort. He grouped to-
gether everything that could denote
"the end of all things"
On the canvas was seen a broken
bottle, Il worn out stump of
broom, the broken butt of an old
musket, an unslrung bow, a cracked
bell, a crown crumbling to pieces,
the ruins of tower, the falling
slgnpost Of an inn called The
Worlds End, waning moon, the
map of the globe burning, a gallows
falling into decay, the chains which
held the body of the executed crimi-
nal hanging down and broken; the
god of day (Ph@bus) lying dead in
the clouds, a wrecked vessel, rep
resentation of Father Time with a
broken scythc and hourglass, a pipe
from which issued a faint cloud of
smoke, an open play book, with the
legend exeunt omnes (exit alD
stamped in the corneDS an empty
purse and statute of bankruptcy
taken out against nature.
The finishing touch consisted of a
broken palette upon which was in
cribed the word "Finis." Hogarth
lever again took his palette in
land, and one month after "The
Tail Piece" was finished he passed
way.

EpiscopaEian Organ Declares That
Chief Executive Is Needed
In the current issue Of the Church
man, the leading Episcopal church pa
per, published In New York city,
there appears an editorial article de
mandlng a chief executive for the Epis-
copal church. The article declares that
a chief executive is as necessary for Il
church as for a nation. and it.calls at
tention to the fact that the Roman
Catholic church has personal head
rapidly growing more representative Id
character, to the undeniable benefit OF
the Catholic cause. The article urges
that Christendom should be unified aud
could have head mot only without
damage to itself, but to Its incalcula.
bic help
The general impression caused BY the
article, says the New York Tribune. is
that the Churchman is urging the ap-
pointment Of an archbishop In the
Episcopal church In this country. While
the editorial would seem strongly to
bear out the impression. nothing spe-
cifcally referring to the appointment
Of such a dignitary is contained there
in.
The Episcopal church in this country
now has no real executive he'd Tile
Oldest bishop is known as the presid-
ing bishop and is chairman Of the
house Of bishops, but he really has no
specific executive or administrative
functions. Each bishop, subject to the
constitution and canons Of the church,
is supreme in his own diocese, and
though his conduct may be reviewed
and he may be tried on charges by the
house Of bishops, be is practically his
own master.

Many persons have been cured Of hay

offered as to the reliance they place upon
