Not a Live American Boy,

@'Wanted-A boy who never saw a
baseball game; one who does not
know the difference between third
base and q foul ball. To such an OF.
nee attachment a liberal salary will
be paid.-Hudson Register" What
for? A boy answering such plans and
specifications as that would not be
worth his salt. He wouldn't be worth
the powder to blow him up. He would
be too dead to bury. He would not
have life enough to crawl of and die.
No, no-what the world wants is live
American boys, who will get to the
ball game and the circus when they
are boys and to the front of the pro-
cession when they get to be men.

We Have Not Learned to Live,

Consumption is as unnecessary as
smallpox. We live in vitiated air at
home. We breathe foul, dirty, poison
ed air abroad and the bacillus attacks
ue in our weakened state. We can
prevent any disease almost, though
there are few that we can completely
cure. We have learned to avoid the
sanitary sins of our ancestors, but we
have other shortcomings Just as bad.
We have not yet corrected the habit
of dying from disease, accident and
overwork.-Toledo .Times.Bee.

CATARRH OF 1BE STOMACH.

CATARRH OF TIE STOMACH.
When the stomach is overloaded:
when food is taken into it that fails
to digest, it decays and inf1ames
the mucous membrane, exposing
the nerves, and causes the glands to
secret mucin. instead Of the natural
juices of digestion. This is called
catarrh of the stomach. For years
suffered with catarrh of the
stomach, caused by indigestion.

Infection from Table Salt.

It perhaps does not occur to many
people that there is risk in our pres.
ent unclean method of using table salt
from an open dish or salt cellar, as it
is always exposed to the dust and
germs floating about in the atmo-
sphere. Knowing also the affinity salt
has for moisture, it Is only reasonable
to expect that it will absorb this from
g. sick room (Which may possibly be
humifed artificially) and then take up
the germs of disease at the same time.

a letter concerning their high school
exercises.

Between the Early Hebrews and Egyp-

was: "Mince pies, such as mother

tura, on August IA, 1919, the republic Of
Colombia was solemnly created.

tura, on August IA. 1919, the republic Of
Colombia was solemniy created.
Two years later the battle at Carabobo,
near Valencia, which proved to be the
Yorktown of the war of the patriots of
the north of South America, was fought.
Five days later BOLIVIA. the president of
the republic of Colombia, entered in tri-
umph the city OF Caracas, and the Span
ish yoke forever cast aside. But new
tyranny arose in tie republic thus
formed-the tyranny of internal strife
and bloodshed. The union between
Venezuela and Colombia lasted only
until 1921, when the former withdrew,
and since that time the relations be-
tween the two countries has ranged from
that of state of cordially to bitterest
hate and antagonism. But the history
OF the two countries is inseparably
linked, and although Bolivar was born
at Caracas and hence Venezuelan, he
was the liberator and founder of the
republic of Colombia.
But following close upon the separa-
tion of Colombia from her union with
Venezuela came almost a continuous
war between the federalists and liberals
for 80 years, and since 1868, when the
present constitution was adopted, revo-
buttons have occurred almost faster
than the historian could record. Back
and forth, up and down. over the coun-
try has bloody, petty war ragged, until the
last outbreak in 1901 and the very re-

to the world brand new republic.
Bolivar had large visions of the future
of the countries of South America. And
the important relation of the isthmus to
the welfare of Colombia and Venezuela
was realized even at that early day. He
declared Of it.: This magnificent posi-
ton between the two great oceans shall
be in turn the emporium Of the world.
Its canals shall shorten the distances Of

A Happy
New Years Day
BY
BERTHA z. GOODIER

Now, Elsie Lawrence" the girl Sc
the great glass door of the station, Il
hope you're not going to cry. Remem-
Der. you're much too old for such child
ishness. 1t does seem bad that father
must go home. and on New Years
day Of all days, but you must be brave.
as he said, and have just as happy a
New Years day as you can"
1t did seem hard to be left all alone.
They had come to this wonderful city,
Elsie Lawrence and her father, and ar
rangements had been made for placing
the girl in a seminary
When Elsie Lawrence walked
through the beautiful marble-tiled sta
ton and stood looking out at the white
world that lay before her it seemed
that the tears must come, for she was,
oh. so lonely.
Outside 1t was just as crisp and as
clear and as sunshiny as a New Year S
day should be. The snow sparkled with
a million diamond lights, and sifted
onto the roofs and the trees tender
white covering that made the city seem
fairy-land. Elsie dreaded to face that
biting cold. 1t was so pleasant and
warm inside. But, surely, one could not
spend New Years day in the waiting
room Of the station. AS she went down
the broad avenue toward Miss Morgan s
seminary Elsie quite forgot the cold
and the loneliness in the interest of
watching the people who were hurry
ing this way and that 1t made her a
little sad, too, when she thought that
everyone in all the great city was hav-
ing happy time except herself. Every
one, 1t seemed, had some place to go;
sleighloads Of young people were pass
ing, and often they cried out Happy
New Year," to someone on the street
Elsie thought of the girls at home, In
Fairhaven, and she wondered what they
would say If they could see her, standing
on the corner of two broad streets
wishing so earnestly that she knew
someone on whom she might make 8

the earth. How grand it would be If the
isthmus of Panama could be to us what
Corinth was to the Greeks!" This was
been called his prophetic letter" AS
early as 1928 survey was made Of the
isthmus with view of building canal.
Several others followed during the sue
ceeding years, and in 1925 the Unit
ed States completed the most complete
survey of any which had been made.
The Colombian government granted in
1877 "a concession to a Frenchman named
Wyse fer constructing a canal. This
was the concession which later was
formed by De Lesseps, and in the Hay
Herran treaty which the Colombian
congress refused to ratify the United
States proposed to purchase these con-
cessions for $40,000,0o0, and to pay to
Colombia S10,000.000 for the privilege of
constructing the canal, and securing po-
session of a strip of land on each side of
the proposed canal. That Colombia now
realizes her loss in the secession of Pan
anna is evident from the desperate efforts
she is making to bring the province back
into the Colombian union.
The republic of Panama which has
been formed by the revolutionists is
about 450 miles in extent from east to
west and in width varies from 80 TO 10
miles-an area Of about 81 500 square
miles. The population as estimated by
the statistical bureau OF he department
of commerce at Washington, is 100000
1t is chiefly the seacoast that is inhabit-
ed, most of the interior being dense
jungle and is for the most part uneX-
plored. The city of Panama is credited
with having population OF $4,000, and
Colon, the other chief city of the new re-
public. is much smaller, having only
1900 people
This is accounted for by the fact that
Colon was founded at the time of the
building of the railroad across the 18TH
mus in 1S50-55. while Panama was
founded in 1919 by Pedrarias over 300
years earlier. Morgans buccaneers

AS for fur hats, they mostly consist
of two contrasting furs Moleskin, for
instance, is often mixed with what
appears to be white rabbit, or with
caracul. Seal and sable, seal and
chinchilla, broadtail and chinchlla,
and ermine and caracul all make up
into admirable fur toques Of the elon-
gated shape and tilted backwards. The
quaint touches of gold in the form of
cockades, etc, are effective trimmings
to the fur toques.
But uuless very carefully treated,

those in the Illustrations: That charm

In soft white felt, has the brim caught
up in the most becoming fashion
imaginable, and trimmed underneath
with wide band of old silver gallon,
laid fatty along the felt, A few folds
of white tulle lift the shape off the
hair, while on one side under the brim
shading from brown to black, and
dropping gracefully over the hair. This
way of trimming the underneath brin
of the hat, while the crown and the
| upper brim are left entirely una
dorned, may be noted as character
istic feature of forthcoming millinei
fashions.

which is really something between
